Chapter 43 Bigger Goal

Qu Li discussed with his team for a long time in Yangcheng, but they were not professionals in the clothing and textile industry. The shortcomings in this area must be solved, especially in textile raw materials. During the rise of Uniqlo, Toray provided the company with

They provide an exclusive service that almost integrates the R&D and production processes, which is particularly rare in the world.

With good new materials, there will be exclusive advantages, which is competitiveness. The reason why Samsung and Huawei stand out in the Android camp is not because they have their own solutions for core components and have unique competitive advantages?

"The material problem cannot be solved in a short time. If there is no better choice, choose cotton, and hemp!" If you look it up casually, you will know that cotton is the king of fabrics, and hemp has huge potential and is more eco-friendly.

, with the large-scale lifting of bans abroad, hemp is an excellent textile material, and this industry is destined to flourish.

Qu Li discussed the future of Wan Hei Hei in Yangcheng. "Comet" ended its domestic screening. The final box office reached an astonishing 48 million, surpassing Dragon Tiger Gate starring Donnie Yen and becoming the 2006 box office second only to "Huo Yuanjia".

》domestic movies.

This is undoubtedly a great benefit for Huayi. Not only was it a box office hit, but it also gained two outstanding directors. Even if we exclude Qu Li, there is also Ning Hao. Last year, we experienced the collective exodus of Wang Jinghua artists. This year

When you have unexpected gains, of course you want to celebrate.

Not sure whether he would make a movie in the future, Qu Li didn't want to offend Huayi, so he rushed to Yanjing before the celebration party to discuss overseas distribution with Huayi.

"Colombia is a very good platform. Vice President Chen Guo was the director of Asia before." The Wang brothers wanted to save trouble, but Qu Li didn't want to be so wasteful.

"How about we make a promotional video dubbed in English and put it on YouTube. This website now has a lot of viewers. Maybe some American filmmakers will pay attention."

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Columbia, but it's hard for them to give a reasonable price. There is almost no cultural barrier to "Comet". Even if they remake it, it will only have this effect. It is better to find professional voice actors and then release it to mainstream theaters."

It was released online." At this time, Qu Li remembered "The Man from the Earth," a sci-fi movie that had no special effects and was driven by conversation. It had a global box office of 350 million. "Comet" is even better than it, and it may not be unable to have good results.

Global box office.

"Do you want it to be released in mainstream theaters in North America?" Wang Zhongjun knew Qu Li's idea, and he agreed with what Qu Li said, but a Chinese film without the support of a big-name star was released in mainstream theaters in North America.

Very ridiculous.

"This film has a low cost, low investment, and a rare opportunity. I don't know that there will be such an opportunity in the future."

After "This Man Came From Earth", there seems to be no soft science fiction movie in North America with a box office of over 100 million. It can be said that "This Man" is the swan song. Some people say that "Comet" is equal to "This Man" plus "Terror Cruise", which is the brain-burning movie.

If it works properly, it may create miracles.

Moreover, Qu Li made some changes to "Comet", reducing the foreplay time and giving more hints. It is relatively easy to understand, but you can't see it if you don't look carefully. Judging from the feedback from domestic audiences, the effect of the changes should be

It's relatively good.

"Colombia doesn't look down on such low-budget movies, so we can look to Lionsgate, Summit and Weinstein Pictures." Although Columbia's Asia director is not a big deal, Chen Guofu knows the rules of the game in Hollywood better.

"Do you want to sell the copyright all at once, or take the distribution agency route?"

"It is best to issue through an agent. If there is sufficient control capacity, it is acceptable to pay part of the publicity and distribution costs in advance."

"This will cost a lot of money for publicity."

"I don't know if it's worth it, but this kind of film without cultural barriers is probably rare."

Because it is a low-cost film and it only took a week to shoot, Huayi only wanted the domestic distribution rights of "Comet". Now it is willing to participate in overseas distribution. It is interesting enough. You have to know what overseas distribution domestic film companies can

Ability? You don’t need to give Huayi a share if you sell overseas copyrights directly.

However, the risk of overseas distribution is very high, and the two parties have not reached an agreement, but the celebration banquet will still be held. On this occasion, Qu Li will not say anything depressing, and will accept all kinds of congratulations calmly. He has once again completed this movie

The transformation of identity, from entrepreneur and actor to now being truly recognized as a director, the whole process is full of fantasy.

The crew members of "The Night Banquet" came to congratulate them. They were about to start promoting. Director Xiaogang didn't feel arrogant at all, but he didn't have much enthusiasm either.

"Your movie is good, but your own level is a bit inferior..."

These words were so direct that Qu Li felt uncomfortable at first, but this is a fact. If an outsider can make a movie that is better than the original version, he has done a good enough job. So Qu Li is not discouraged at all, let alone angry.

, my mind soon calmed down.

"What Director Xiaogang said is that I will work hard in the future." But the direction of hard work may not be to become an excellent director.

Other actors are not as rude as Director Xiaogang. Whether a movie is good or not depends on whether the box office is high or not, which is the reflection of an actor’s commercial value. After two consecutive hits, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng became famous.

Sun Honglei seems to have become a new first-line actor in China because of this. Xiao Taohong, who is wearing a vest, is amazingly beautiful, and Qu Li is not the only one who has benefited.

Being able to star in such a movie is a dream opportunity for the younger generation of domestic actors. The most direct manifestation is that the salary will increase many times, which is a real benefit.

Some actors come to him to talk about movies, some actors come to him to talk about their company, and some simply want to get acquainted and form a good relationship. There are also a few unknown young actors who give him room cards, and you decide whether he wants to eat or not.

, of course not eating, Qu Li is not that hungry or thirsty. In other words, he does not have the ability to resist risks yet, and cannot eat casually when he is unclear about the situation.

"This is a science fiction movie without cultural barriers. Two of my science fiction short stories have been played 10 million times on the American YouTube video platform. The third video was uploaded not long ago and exceeded 500,000 times. If I publish a "Comet"

"The promotional video should be viewed more than 1 million times."

"This American video website called YouTube already has 20 million users and hundreds of millions of views every day." Qu Li continued to add that he did not expect YouTube's dividends to be reaped so easily.

Maybe it’s because there aren’t many high-quality videos nowadays. Chen Shijun, the founder of YouTube, even sent him an email to encourage him, and the relationship was established.
