Cameron was very busy and went back immediately after talking to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi naturally gave him a lot of face. He called Qiao Guoer as soon as the conversation was over and asked the Kiwi Cinema Line to fully prepare to support "Avatar".
Kiwi's North American theater chain and European theater chain are both privately owned by Qiao Guoer, and of course it doesn't matter what the management wants.
Even if they have doubts and dissatisfaction, they can only do what Qiao Guoer wants, otherwise they have no choice but to get out.
This kind of unfettered power is also an important reason why Xiao Qi is unwilling to let Fairy Company go public.
Even if he wants to sell shares to others, Xiao Qi prefers to take the absolute initiative himself.
After all, there are still too few smart people in this world, and more people only care about their immediate interests, so they have no patience to make money in a steady stream.
After talking to Cameron, Xiao Qi and Du Feixing started walking on the street again. They looked like an ordinary young couple, without any clue that they had just negotiated a deal worth billions of dollars.
Business.
When Cameron and Xiao Qi were discussing business before, Du Feixing didn't interrupt, and Cameron didn't even look at her. The lady boss of the Fairy Company wasn't angry either, because her personality was very calm.
However, because Xiao Qi's interests were involved, Du Feixing also had some doubts in her heart.
"Husband, can "Avatar" really be as ground-breaking as "Titanic"?" Du Feixing asked Xiao Qidao.
"If there is no big accident, it should be like this." Xiao Qi nodded and said.
"Have you seen it?"
"Yeah, but you haven't seen it. I'll go watch it with you when it comes out."
"I will be returning to China in two days. My mother has been urging me for a long time. I haven't been home for seven or eight months. My grandma is still a little sick." Du Feixing said softly.
"That's okay, it's the same for us in China." Xiao Qi said, "If I can return to China early, I will also go to your house and visit our grandma."
Du Fei's heart warmed up and she quickly kissed Xiao Qi on the face, "Thank you~Husband~~"
This is a foreign country, and although there are Chinese people on the road, it is not like China after all, so Du Feixing has been making out with Xiao Qi on the street for the past two days. Anyway, there are many couples doing this, and they are just one of them.
.
Xiao Qi held her hand tightly and said, "Myolie, as for that "The Hunger Games" I just mentioned, if you have time, you can read the book. If you are interested, you can still play a supporting actress in it in the future.
of."
"I don't want to act in movies anymore, at least not before I give birth to my first baby." Du Feixing refused without thinking.
"Okay." Xiao Qi didn't force her. Whether or not her wife goes to act in a movie is her interest, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
"Is "The Hunger Games" something you're very optimistic about? Can it actually reach the point where you can hire Cameron?" Du Feixing thought of another thing at this time.
"you mean……"
"Cameron is famous for being a maniac with excessive budgets!" Du Feixing looked at her husband, "If you give him no cap on the budget, what if you can make one movie worth 100 or 200 million U.S. dollars, or three movies worth 1 billion U.S. dollars?
Cost. Does that mean we will lose money? "The Hunger Games" is not "Jurassic Park"!"
As a student who graduated from a film school, Du Feixing is very familiar with the history of world film development.
No matter from any angle, "Jurassic Park" is the top movie series, but its high box office and high production costs are also directly proportional.
The "Jurassic Park" trilogy has a box office of 2 billion U.S. dollars, but the production cost is only about 300 million U.S. dollars.
Not to mention the box office results of the "Hunger Games" trilogy, as long as it is an action movie, with Cameron's character of excellence, it is absolutely impossible for it to be less than 300 million US dollars.
"In terms of the price level at that time, "The Hunger Games" may not be comparable to "Jurassic Park." But I am very optimistic that its trilogy can also fetch 2 billion US dollars." Xiao Qi said with a smile,
"And if Cameron keeps improving, it is not impossible to have a box office of three billion US dollars."
Du Feixing glanced at her husband gently, but she didn't want to dampen her husband's enthusiasm.
In her opinion, it is already very impressive for a movie to reach a global box office of US$500 million, let alone a sequel movie whose box office is not as good as the previous one.
"Jurassic Park" has a powerful gimmick, and it was written by the most famous modern science fiction writer in the United States. However, she has never heard of "The Hunger Games" and the author is even more unknown. It is much worse in this regard.
Although my husband is very rich and losing hundreds of millions of dollars is not a problem at all, it still seems a bit wasteful.
But since Xiao Qi likes it, Du Feixing won't say anything to stop it.
Xiao Qi saw the expression of his beautiful wife and smiled unconsciously.
"The Hunger Games" itself is good enough and has gimmicks, and Lionsgate Pictures in its previous life also promoted it very well, so even if the novel "The Hunger Games" is not that best-selling, the movie "The Hunger Games" is too
It quickly captured people's hearts - well, in fact, the best-selling novels of "The Hunger Games" basically started after the movie became popular. Even then, it was not a big seller.
Thanks to the efforts of Lionsgate Pictures, the box office of the first part of "The Hunger Games" was around 700 million U.S. dollars. The second part was released in November 2013 and has been a hit all the way. Although Xiao Qi in his previous life did not see the final box office, 8
One hundred million US dollars is definitely achievable.
The two movies combined have grossed US$1.5 billion, and both have good reputations. No matter how bad the third movie is, it will not be less than US$500 million at the box office, right?
Not to mention that this time he hired Cameron. With his understanding and control of science fiction and action movies, it is not impossible to increase the box office by 30%!
Being able to stand out among so many movies proves that "The Hunger Games" has great movie connotations, and who can do this kind of movie that integrates science fiction, romance, and action movies better than Cameron?
good?
Especially this time after "Avatar" helped Cameron dominate the world again, Cameron has simply become the king of the movie world. "The Hunger Games" directed by him has the potential to conquer everyone!
Besides, Du Feixing still doesn’t know, or most people don’t know, how prosperous 3D and IMAX movies will be in the future.
Better viewing effects and better viewing experience make everyone tend to go to 3D and IMAX screening halls to watch movies. At the same time, it brings more box office revenue to theaters, producers, and distributors!
After all, compared with 2D movies, the ticket prices for 3D and IMAX movies are two or three times higher!
At the beginning, it was very difficult for a movie to exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars at the global box office. But when a large number of 3D and IMAX screens appeared, one comic hero movie after another was able to be put on the screen, and then earned a lot of revenue, 10
There is an endless stream of movies that have grossed over 100 million US dollars at the box office.
And the beginning of it all is "Avatar", which will be released in a few days!
Xiao Qi's mind is not on entertainment, but he is still clear about the movie trends in the next few years.
So he bought Marvel and took the biggest piece of the pie in hero movies.
Therefore, he also acquired Disney to give Marvel more room for development.
Therefore, he also learned from Wanda in his previous life, integrating important movie theater chains around the world, making the Kiwi Cinema Line the number one in the world, and laying an important foundation for the Xiao family's film and television empire from the point of sale terminal.
In addition to these three most important acquisitions, Xiao Qi also acquired some good copyrights in his spare time.
"The Hunger Games" is one of them. Before Lionsgate Pictures took action, Xiao Qi entrusted a consulting company to negotiate various rights transfer matters with the author before publication, and spent less than 10 million US dollars.
The price, as well as 1% of the box office and peripheral products share, gave us this series of movies and peripheral products that can earn at least 500 million US dollars.
"Twilight" Xiao Qi really wanted to buy it, but unfortunately this book was published in 2005, and it became a huge hit as soon as it was published. Xiao Qi was developing his own fairy company at that time, so where did he have the time and energy?
To compete with major Hollywood companies for movie rights?
However, except for "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight", it seems that in the next few years, apart from the hero series of movies, there will be no new and good series of movies in Hollywood.
So Xiao Qi turned his attention to those series of movies that were already making money.
After spending a sky-high price of 1.6 billion US dollars, Xiao Qi bought the copyrights of "Tomb Raider" and "Transformers", and then also won the copyrights of one and two "Iron Man" movies. However, this "Iron Man" has never been
The third part has returned to Disney, and Disney has now become Xiao Qi's company, so Iron Man has been acquired.
In addition, half of the copyright of "Mission: Impossible" in Paramount's hands was also taken by Xiao Qi, and the remaining half was in the hands of Tom Cruise. As the only movie in his hand that can restore his glory, Half Day,
Tom Cruise will never sell it.
Of course, Xiao Qi will not be so harsh in grabbing the copyright. After all, "Mission: Impossible" would not be called "Mission: Impossible" without Tom Cruise, and only Cruise can make "Mission: Impossible" profitable.
With so many copyrights acquired, Xiao Qi finally has a foundation for his first step of expansion.
But that's not all. Although Disney's privatization has not yet been completed, Xiao Qi has given orders to Disney personnel to collect as many good copyrights as possible to buy them and add more content to his copyright library.
Yun.
Too many skills don’t overwhelm the body.
The more copyrights you have, the more film companies can do business! (To be continued.)
ps: Are you talking about whether "The Hunger Games" should have an older cousin in it? Actually, I think Scarlett is pretty good too... However, it would be too much to include more. This is not an entertainment novel.
