Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Although it is the coldest time in the capital now, for Zhang Xiao who has kung fu, the coldness is really nothing.

Zhuo Fu saw Zhang Xiao getting 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, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhuo, isn't it just a matter of overseas releases? Just make a phone call. Is it necessary to engage in such a mobilization?"

Zhuofu sighed slightly, and said: "Mr. Zhang, I really have no choice but to beg you, and I hope you can help us."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go in and talk slowly."

After everyone walked into the box, Zhuo Fu introduced: "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, Yi Fei, these are all big stars in the circle , it would be weird if I didn’t know him.”

Zhuofu said happily when he heard this: "Since we are all friends, that would be 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 the Sword and Sword", which became famous in the TV industry in one fell swoop."

"This time, relying on the Xianxia movie "Swordsman", you have become a newcomer in the film industry that can afford the box office. Hehe, you two really have a destiny with Xianxia!"

Gu Yuege said: "Swordsman's success is all thanks to Director Gong. Yifei and I just did what actors should do."

Zhang Xiao nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Director Gong's contribution is indeed not small, and his ability is also very powerful. I watched the movie "Swordsman", and it is much better than the "God of War Xingtian" that Yang Mi invested in. It can It is not without reason that it has won 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" are even better than our "Swordsman". Our box office can be better." Well, the main reason is luck.”

Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said, "Director Gong, movies are good if they are good, and bad if they are bad. You don't have to follow my advice."

"I know better than anyone else the problems with the movie "God of War". Let's put it this way, it is not a movie suitable for Chinese people to watch, but it is quite suitable for overseas movie fans."

When Zhuo Fu heard Zhang Xiao mentioned overseas, he quickly took over the topic and said, "Mr. Zhang, is "God of War Xing Tian" going to be released overseas tomorrow?"

Zhang Xiao thought for a while, and said: "It seems to be so. I really don't know the specifics. By the way, when will your "Swordsman" be released? You don't want to compete with "God of War Xingtian", right?"

"That's not true!" Zhuo Fu 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: "President Zhuo, to be honest, have you been tricked by Suo Li?"

Zhuo Fu was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly: "Yes, Suo Li originally promised to distribute it to us globally, but he gave us very few film schedules, and even asked for a rebate. You are a bastard."

Zhang Xiaodao: "Mr. Zhuo, you can't blame Suo Li for this. Suo Li's overseas theater chain in Europe, America and Asia was jointly built by him and Wei Yakang's parent company. Suo Li only accounted for 50.00% of the shares in it."

"He has two movies himself, and with other Hollywood movies, "Sword Fairy" doesn't get much filming at all."

At this time, Gu Yuege looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, can you help us?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "Before I came here, I had seen the movie schedules of the three major theaters. To be honest, you are a little too late. If it is released on the eighteenth day of the first month, I can squeeze out 5.00% of the movies for you at most. If there are too many, I will be sorry for other film production companies."

"However, if you are willing to change the schedule to after the 25th of the first month, then I can help you get more than [-]% of the film schedule."

"As long as "Swordsman" can achieve good results, 30.00% or even 40.00% is not impossible."

Gu Yuege asked: "If we use this 5.00% score and achieve good results, can we also increase the number of films for us?"

"Of course!" Zhang Xiao nodded with a smile, and said, "Just like the original "Battle of the 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 them to you. , but after two days."

Zhuo Fu asked: "Mr. Zhang, how much can we get from the box office?"

Zhang Xiao was taken aback, and asked back: "How much did Suo Li give you?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhuofu still said truthfully: "18.00%, if you want to increase the filming, you have to give them a rebate."

When Zhang Xiao heard it, he exclaimed: "I'm going, Suo Li's appearance is too ugly, they are using the sharing method of domestic films shown overseas in the last century, and now it is basically around 20.00%. .”

"The previous "Battle of the Red Cliff" got 20.00% five."

When Zhuo Fu heard it, he was even more shocked, and asked a little in disbelief: "Then there is no rebate for "Battle of the Red Cliff"?"

Zhang Xiao twitched his mouth, and said disdainfully: "Those theater chains that secretly ask for rebates are too small, and they only have such petty profits in their eyes, and they can't get on the table at all. This kind of nonsense, Qingtian and I have never done it. Don't do it."

Zhuo Le's words were quite embarrassing to Zhuo Le's ears, because Zhuo Fu had done this kind of thing that couldn't be put on the stage not once or twice.

Seemingly seeing Zhuo Fu's embarrassment, Gong Pan said, "Mr. Zhang, you mean to give us around 20.00% of the box office, right?"

"Almost!" Zhang Xiao nodded, and continued: "The specific number has to be determined by the group of managers of the theater, but no matter what, it must be higher than what Suoli is giving you now. However, there is a The condition is that I want exclusive distribution rights."

Zhuo Fu said: "This... If this is the case, then we will breach the contract and need to pay Suo Li a liquidated damages of 1000 million U.S. dollars."

Seeing Zhuo Fu's embarrassment, Zhang Xiao was immediately happy, and said: "Mr. Zhuo, what kind of agreement did you sign with him? Why can they bully you casually? But you don't even have room to fight back." No?"

Zhuo Fu smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Zhang, your identity is there, so no one dares to do anything about you and Qingtian's movies, but other domestic movies will not work."

"If we want to show the film abroad, we will be skinned several times, and the agreements signed are all beneficial to the other party."

Zhang Xiao said solemnly: "Mr. Zhuo, you should be very clear about my relationship with Suo Li."

"If you want me to distribute the movie "Swordsman", you must let Suo Li produce it, because once this movie becomes popular, Suo Li will increase its film schedule."

"In this way, let me bear the risks, but let Suo Li take the benefits. I will definitely not agree."

Zhuo Fu thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "1000 million is 1000 million. We, Longda, will never cooperate with Suo Li in the future."

"Mr. Zhang, I want to postpone "Swordsman" to the 25th of the first month and get a high-ranking movie. What do you think?"
