Chapter 782: Zhang Xiao's Condition, Long Da's Decision
Entertainment: Gambit and National Priest announced the latest chapter
;;;;Although it is the coldest time in Beijing now, for Zhang Xiao, who has great kung fu skills, this little bit of coldness is really nothing.
;;;;Zhuo Fu saw Zhang Xiao get out of the car and immediately came up with someone to greet him.
;;;;"Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
;;;;Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand to shake Zhuo Fu's hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuo, isn't it just a matter of overseas screening? Just make a phone call. Is there any need to engage in such a huge effort?"
;;;;Zhuofu sighed slightly and said: "Mr. Zhang, I really have no choice but to come and beg you. I hope you can help us."
;;;;Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go in and talk slowly."
;;;;After everyone entered the box, Zhuofu introduced him: "Mr. Zhang, let me introduce you!"
;;;;"No need!" Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said: "Director Gong is a member of our Directors Association. We have already seen good opportunities. Sister Yuanyuan, Lao Gu, Yifei, these are all in the circle.
It would be weird if I didn’t recognize the big stars in it.”
;;;;Zhuofu happily said after hearing this: "Since we are all friends, that's great."
;;;;Zhang Xiao looked at Gu Yuege and said: "Old Gu, more than ten years ago, you and Yifei filmed a fairy tale drama "Legend of Sword and Sword", which instantly became famous in the television industry."
;;;;"This time, thanks to the Xianxia movie "Swordsman", you have become an upstart in the film industry that can handle the box office. Haha, you two are really destined to Xianxia!"
;;;; Gu Yuege said: "The success of "Swordsman" is all due to Director Gong. Yifei and I just did what actors should do."
;;;; Zhang Xiao nodded when he heard this and said: "Director Gong's contribution is indeed not small, and his ability is also very powerful. I have watched the movie "Swordsman" and it is better than the movie "God of War Xingtian" invested by Yang Mi.
There is a reason why it can get such a good box office in China."
;;;; When Director Gong heard this, he quickly said: "Mr. Zhang, please don't say that. The special effects of "God of War Xingtian" are even better than those of our "Swordsman". Ours
The box office can be better, mainly because there is more luck involved."
;;;;Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said: "Director Gong, if a movie is good, it is good, and if it is bad, it is bad. You don't have to follow my words."
;;;;"I know the problems with the movie "God of War" better than anyone else. Let's put it this way, it is not a movie suitable for us Chinese people to watch, but it is quite suitable for overseas movie fans."
;;;;Zhuofu heard Zhang Xiao mention overseas and quickly took over the conversation and said: "Mr. Zhang, will "God of War Xingtian" be released overseas tomorrow?"
;;;;Zhang Xiao thought for a while and said: "It seems so, I really don't know the details. By the way, when will your "Swordsman" be released? It won't compete with "God of War Xingtian", right?
"
;;;;"That's not true!" Zhuofu shook his head and said, "We arranged it on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month."
;;;;"That's good!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuo, to be honest, have you been tricked by Suo Li?"
;;;;Zhuofu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "Yes, Suoli originally promised us global distribution, but he gave us very little film schedule, and he even asked for a refund. It's simply a joke.
asshole."
;;;;Zhang Xiao said: "Mr. Zhuo, you can't blame Suo Li for this. Suo Li's overseas cinemas in Europe, America and Asia were jointly built by him and Viacom's parent company, and Suo Li only accounts for 5% of them.
Ten shares.”
;;;;"He has two movies of his own, and together with other Hollywood movies, "Sword Fairy" won't get many film schedules at all."
;;;;At this time, Gu Yuege looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, can you help us?"
;;;;Zhang Xiaodao: "I watched the movie schedules of the three major theaters before coming here. To be honest, you are a little too late. If it is released on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the most I can give you is 100%.
If we schedule more than five films, we will be sorry for other film production companies."
;;;;"However, if you are willing to change the schedule to after the 25th of the first lunar month, then I can help you get more than 10% of the film schedule."
;;;;"As long as "Swordsman" can achieve good results, 30% or even 40% is not impossible."
;;;;Gu Yuege asked: "If we use these 5% and achieve good results, can we also increase the number of films?"
;;;;"Of course!" Zhang Xiao nodded with a smile and said: "Just like the original "Battle of Red Cliff", as long as the box office and attendance rate are given to you, I have sufficient reasons to compress the schedule of other movies.
, and then supply you, but this will take two days."
;;;;Zhuofu asked: "Mr. Zhang, how much can we get from the box office share?"
;;;;Zhang Xiao was stunned and asked: "How much did Suoli give you?"
;;;;After Zhuofu hesitated for a moment, he still said truthfully: "Eighteen percent, if we want to increase the number of films, we have to give them a rebate."
;;;;When Zhang Xiao heard this, he exclaimed: "Here, Suo Li's appearance is too ugly. They are using the sharing method of domestic films shown overseas in the last century. Now they are basically screened in Baidu.
It’s about twenty-five percent.”
;;;;"The previous "Battle of Red Cliff" got 25%."
;;;; Zhuofu was even more shocked when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "Then there are no rebates in "The Battle of Red Cliff"?"
;;;;Zhang Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully: "Those theater chains that secretly ask for rebates are too small, they only have a small profit in their eyes, and they can't get on the stage at all. This kind of bullshit is ruining the situation, I
He Qingtian never does it.”
;;;;This sentence was quite embarrassing to Zhuo Le's ears, because Zhuo Fu had done this kind of unattractive thing once or twice.
;;;; Seemingly seeing Zhuo Fu's embarrassment, Gong Pan said: "Mr. Zhang, you mean to give us about 25% of the box office share, right?"
;;;;"Absolutely!" Zhang Xiao nodded and continued: "The specific number has to be determined by the group of theater managers, but no matter what, it is definitely higher than what Suoli is giving you now.
However, there is one condition, that is, I want the exclusive distribution rights."
;;;;Zhuofu said: "This...if this is the case, then we will breach the contract and need to pay 10 million U.S. dollars in liquidated damages to Suo Li."
;;;;Seeing Zhuo Fu's embarrassed look, Zhang Xiao immediately became happy and said: "Mr. Zhuo, what kind of agreement did you sign with him? How come they can bully you casually? But you are even
Is there no room to fight back?”
;;;;Zhuofu smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Zhang, your identity is there, so no one dares to interfere with your and Qingtian's movies, but the same cannot be said for other domestic movies."
;;;;"If we want to show the film abroad, we will be stripped of our skin several times, and all the agreements we sign will be beneficial to the other party."
;;;;Zhang Xiao Zhengrong said: "Mr. Zhuo, you should be very clear about my relationship with Suo Li."
;;;; "If you want me to distribute the movie "Swordsman", you must ask Suo Li to issue it, because once the movie becomes popular, Suo Li will increase its film schedule."
;;;;"In this case, I will bear the risks and the benefits will be taken by Suo Li. I will definitely not agree."
;;;;Zhuofu thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Ten million is ten million. We, Longda, will never cooperate with Suo Li in the future."
