Chapter 65 Premium, Partners
“It is reported that Guan Ling will join forces with China Film Group and 20th Century Fox Film Company to create a true Hollywood-style blockbuster! The investment amount is 200 million!”
The following Comments are pretty fun.
“Twenty million dollars, what do you call a blockbuster? It’s really funny.”
“Is there a possibility that when a film is made in the United States, the unit is paid by other people’s money?”
"Two hundred million dollars? Can Guan Ling make such a blockbuster? It's really funny."
There are a lot of news on the Internet, but everyone has no idea about the various contents and news about the movie. .
The plot has not been revealed, and Guan Ling is on guard.
Before the filming and release of the movie, one of their publicity points was to spread rumors around the world. Let doomsday theories have an audience.
In fact, it is not a complete rumor. The purpose is to promote the end of the world predicted by Maya around the world. As long as there is a navy, this is not difficult.
Just like a lot of 1450 in later generations, it is too easy for big and wealthy companies to spend some money to spread the word of doomsday on the Internet around the world.
Thousands of years ago, the Mayans of Central America predicted in the Mayan holy book "Popou" that the end of the fifth solar period would be December 21, 2012.
Now this rumor has appeared, but fewer people say it, but the closer it gets to this time in the previous life, the more people believe it.
Guan Ling vaguely remembered that because of this doomsday rumor in his previous life, he went to the two girls in the morning and afternoon to applaud in order to welcome the doomsday, which gave them some "courage essence" to resist fear.
Guan Ling feels that if he participates in spreading rumors throughout his life, he can be regarded as providing moral support for many young girls who dare not take action.
This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is also conducive to film promotion.
"I'm such a good person." Guan Ling felt that he was quite great. Maybe this rumor could reduce the pace of China's aging.
During the movie review, Guan Ling asked the radio and television to keep the review project confidential for the time being. With Guan Ling's current level, it is relatively easy to avoid leaking the plot of a project.
On the portal website, this message was pinned to the top.
Fox has actually had in-depth discussions with China Film. As the only major company in China with import rights, Fox does not want to antagonize each other, and China Film is relatively certain that Guan Linglai will direct this film. This was obtained by Han Sanpin's hard work. He saw the script and the storyboards. Han Sanpin needed a major commercial film director from the mainland to control this Hollywood drama, and Guan Ling was the best choice.
Fox agreed, but let Guan Ling resolve the investment issue first. Their investment may not be paid out until a month or two later.
Guan Ling knew that the other party wanted to see feedback on "Hearing Girl".
Once "Hearing Girl" hits the market, there is no guarantee that Fox will breach the contract.
After China Film confirmed that they wanted to invest, they held meetings for two more days. On the third day, Han Sanpin called Guan Ling.
“China Film will invest one-fifth of the US$200 million share.” Han Sanpin was a little tired, “From my perspective, I want to eat more, but the group does not agree. This is what I can This is the maximum amount I can strive for."
After a pause, he said: "Guan Ling, if nothing else happens, I will be promoted to the chairman of the group soon. If you mess up, that's about it for me. Do you understand what I mean?”
“From now on, if you want to contact anyone to participate in investment, you can do it yourself. If it’s not convenient, China Film Group will help you do it. But don’t worry, this time. I will give you the green light in every aspect of the movie, I just hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Guan Ling didn’t expect Han Sanpin to have such a gambling spirit.
It seems that this guy is really thinking hard about the Chinese film industry. He dreams of making a blockbuster movie appear in Chinese films!
He doesn’t know that the reason why Han Sanpin has so much confidence in the current domestic film industry is because he sees the potential. RB made 1.74 billion yuan in "Spirited Away" in 2001 Box office, this is only RB domestic!
Although the subsequent Japan-US co-production of the Final Fantasy movie version invested US$137 million, it ultimately failed miserably.
But that is also the skill of RB. They have the courage to vote, but Mainland China has not made such an attempt so far!
"I'm going to recruit Shangying and Shanying at the official level, and the private companies will see whoever pays the highest price gets it." Guan Ling told Han Sanpin.
"You're so brave, you're dragging the government to sell tiger skins, and you want to pay a premium with private companies. Aren't you afraid that they don't have the guts?" Han Sanpin guessed what Guan Ling wanted to do on the other end of the phone, "But Shanying Most of the investments there are art films and TV series, so why do you think of bringing them back? "
"Isn't this a way to give back to my hometown? There are too few art schools in Shandong Province and there is no experience in making commercial films. I want to ask them if they want to. ."
Guan Ling actually took a fancy to Shanying's potential. Although Shanying is not outstanding now, it has a lot of talents. Every year, CCTV has high-quality dramas. The elements of Shanying are there, and Ling Yun will definitely borrow them into the field of TV dramas in the future, which means a steady stream of cash flow.
For many dramas, it is impossible for Guan Ling to do it himself.
So choosing a partner is necessary.
Shanying is a good choice, but once the cooperation is good, Guan Ling will definitely seek to set up a joint venture with Shanying. It will be listed separately, just like the noon sunshine in the previous life, so that Guan Ling can maintain his own Benefit.
Actually, Guan Ling is planning to make a fool of himself. But he wouldn't say this to Han Sanpin. As a young director from Lu Province in his previous life, Guan Ling had constraints in everything he did. It's purely because it's a one-man gang and can't get into the big circle. If you mention that it's from Lu Province, it will ask for more money from you.
China's literary and art circles can be mainly divided into BJ literary and art circles, northwest circles, northeast circles, Hong Kong circles and Taiwan circles.
Although there are many celebrities in Lu Province, there is no Lu circle. Most of them work alone or integrate into various existing circles.
At this time, Guan Ling wanted to pull the mountain shadow, which really served multiple purposes.
Guan Ling called Mr. Ren from Shanghai Film Festival. Last time at the Shanghai International Film Festival, Mr. Ren made him drink a lot of tea.
"Director Guan, I was just about to call you when your call came in. What is said on the Internet is true. Do you have a project in Hollywood?"
Now Shanghai Film Group, led by Ren Zhonglun, is a partner of Warner Bros. Hollywood and has always cooperated. Wang Jiawei even went to Hollywood to make English-language films, and there were more than one, with box office mostly between 10 and 20 million US dollars.
Wang Jiawei is the first person to make money from art films at the box office and copyright, and I really don’t know who the second one is at SIPG.
“Really, I called just to talk to you.”
After Guan Ling finished the news with China Film Group, he also talked about the general content of the movie. , Ren Zhonglun was stunned for a moment. At first, Ren Zhonglun took the investment cost as a joke, but at the moment he was a little confused.
Judging from the way Guan Ling talks, the cost of 200 million US dollars is not groundless.
After getting the exact answer from Guan Ling, Mr. Ren was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone, "Is it OK to participate in a share investment of 20 million U.S. dollars from Shanghai Film Studio?"
" Mr. Ren, the maximum is 10 million," Guan Ling said, "There are also some private film companies that I would like to cooperate with."
"China Film has invested 40 million, and Shanghai Film can only invest 1,000. "Ten thousand." Ren Zhonglun couldn't laugh or cry, "You're making me feel itchy."
But Guan Ling is very determined. He, Ling Yun, will definitely invest heavily in this movie and won't get much of it.
Contacted Shanying again. Shanying was still called Shandong Film and TV Series Production Center at this time. Shanying's director Jin Liang answered Guan Ling's call.
I heard about Guan Ling’s famous mountain shadow and was very surprised. Jin Liang went to find the leader in a panic.
The leader was a little excited.
“Ah, Director Guan, are you from Shandong Province? Blame me, blame me. If I had known that you were from Shandong Province, I would have contacted you first. I’m really sorry, Director Guan has a good project and you are still thinking about it. We are Shanying. Thank you so much. If you have more movies in the future, please feel free to contact us. We will definitely work hard to cooperate.” With five million US dollars, Shanying was quite poor, so he said he had already gritted his teeth with this money.
"Does Director Guan want to have more cooperation in the future? Of course, we also need an excellent director like Director Guan as a partner. Shanying is too short of talents. This is caused by a talent problem. What is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent !”
The leaders there are very enthusiastic about Guan Ling, and they are really looking forward to making movies with Guan Ling.
In fact, Shanying is quite strong, but it mainly focuses on TV series. It has been a long time since they started making movies. They made "Kong Fansen". At that time, they thought that 60 million party members would watch it and create 1.2 100 million box office, but later sold only 36 million.
TV dramas are quite famous.
"Da Ranfang", "I Am Not a Hero", "Butterfly Transformation", "Railway Guerrillas", "Flea on the Drum", "The Prodigal Son Yanqing", "Into the Guandong", all released and filmed After all, these TV series are all of good quality.
Don’t they want to invest in movies? No channel!
Everyone who works in production knows that TV dramas do make a lot of money, but their status is low. This cannot be changed.
So Guan Ling took the initiative to cooperate, and Shanying was pleasantly surprised.
Wang Changtian of Guangxian Media was the first private enterprise CEO to call Guan Ling’s mobile phone. The loss of Liu Yan made Wang Changtian realize a problem, Guan Ling’s ability to turn stone into gold!
So this time Guangxian was very decisive.
Guan Ling did not refuse to die, he said that there would definitely be a premium, so everyone must be mentally prepared.
Emperor also called. Compared with fighting in the ring with Guan Ling, they felt that cooperation with Guan Ling might be a better way.
Not to mention Bona’s Yu Dong, he has been prepared for it for a long time. Regardless of the premium, Bona will have to take a share. Yu Dong has tasted the sweetness of the investment in "Hearing Girl", two hundred The investment of 10,000 US dollars has tripled! It was as fast as grabbing money.
When Bona was asked to exchange the six million U.S. dollars for a share of four million, Yu Dong didn't bat an eyelid, and he was the grandson in the blink of an eye.
There are also two new investment targets, one is Ye Ning from Wanda Cinemas, and the other is Yan Yu from Dadi Cinemas.
The two people came to discuss cooperation.
