You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 189 System Reward, Tough Su You
[The legend is revealed, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" earned 3.2 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America, making it the undisputed king in Chinese film history! 】

[Cultural export, Westerners bow down to Chinese Kung Fu! 】

[Chinese people finally have their own international blockbuster! 】

[Miracle, the miracle belonging to Xihongshi Film and Television continues! 】

After the Oscars, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" continued to be released in the beautiful country for a month before being taken off the shelves. This is the rule of the Oscars.

Only films that have been released to the public are eligible for the Oscars.

As long as it is nominated, it can be released again, and with the fame of the Oscars, this release may have a higher box office than the first release.

This is one of the reasons why everyone is flocking to the Oscars. There are huge interests behind it.

At the same time, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also started its global release after the Oscars. However, the effect was not as good as in beautiful countries, and it only received 5000 million U.S. dollars at the box office.

As for China, Chen Zhibai waved his hand to postpone the removal of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but Li Mingyue sternly refused. As soon as one month was up, it was removed from the shelves and launched on the Xiaopo website at the same time.

Generally speaking, movies that have just been released from theaters need to be charged when they are played on online platforms, usually 6 yuan to watch.

But in order to make less money, Li Mingyue just made it free for everyone to watch.

【ah? "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is now being taken off the shelves?I am also planning to go to the cinema to watch it during the weekend! 】

[I’ve finished watching it, it’s really good. I’m sorry for Little Tomato, I’m sorry for Su You, the old thief, I owe you a movie ticket]

[The last shot was really, I blew it, it gave a Wudang Mountain sky, leaving countless blank spaces. No one knows whether Yu Jiaolong’s last wish came true.

As the saying goes, "Think hard, but never keep it." The old thief Su You truly adhered to this motto of Lao Tzu when he made this movie.

Just like there was only one poet Li Bai during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there has only been one "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in this millennium! 】

["Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" used the original Chinese voice in North America, and the actors in "The Kung Fu King" all used the original English voice. However, when it was released in China, it was dubbed from English translated into Chinese. I don't need to tell you who is really advocating for foreigners. Bar? 】

[This is the first movie I have seen that can be watched for free on an online platform right after it comes out of theaters. Little Tomato really makes me cry to death! 】

[No more talking, no matter what Tomato’s next movie is, I will go to the cinema to support it]

"Ok?"

Seeing such comments, Li Mingyue's eyes widened like bells. She felt that she might have tricked herself with this operation, so she quickly replied below, "Brother, Little Tomato is indeed reliable, but we can't be blind. We still have to use our feet. Vote to keep good movies alive, and bad money cannot drive out good money. Your current behavior is no different from that of a fandom."

[I am a fan of Little Tomato, what’s wrong? 】

[Did the person upstairs collect money? 】

[After all this, he is still hacking "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". This person is either stupid or bad. I suggest a strict investigation! 】

[Not to mention anything else, Little Tomato can make money and make me proud. I have to support you no matter how high or low you are. If you have this ability, if other domestic movies have this ability, I will also be a fan! 】

"?"

Li Mingyue couldn't laugh or cry.

[Congratulations to the host, the system funds have exceeded one billion. Your excellent investment vision has created today’s glory! 】

[Congratulations on winning the title of Genius Investor! 】

[Note: It is impossible for a genius investor to focus on only one project. This title allows the host to carry out multiple projects at the same time and generate separate settlement documents for each project.

Note: The leader of each project can still only be the director bound to the system! 】

Ok?
Li Mingyue, who was originally preparing to argue with netizens, suddenly widened her eyes and her heart pounded.

He instantly understood the role of the title of "genius investor" and generated separate settlement documents for each project. In other words, she no longer had to spend all the system funds in the future, she only needed to make the project lose money. .

For example, in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Wo [-]" this time, the profits from "Wo [-]" were injected into the system funds, causing the system funds to rise during settlement.

But if it is a separate document, then "Wo Three" invested 1000 million and earned more than 3000 million. This will be settled separately and will not be included in the income of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Well, it seems that both projects are profitable...

But this is a path after all, giving her more opportunities to choose. As long as she invests in enough projects, she won't believe it anymore, and no one will lose money!

It's a pity that these projects still need to be led by Su You. Thinking of this, Li Mingyue's teeth started to itch. How could this be tied to a manager? This was tied to a father.

……

Magic City, an unknown sewing machine factory.

The carpenter Sairen was wearing simple clothes and was working hard, surrounded by workers wearing the same clothes as them.

Since Brother Chen Kai took action, he was naturally sure of it. The evidence he gave beat the two of them to death, and even gave them the title of organizer.

So the two quickly signed a labor contract with the sewing machine factory. The carpenter signed for eight years, and the Sailor signed for seven years.

Maybe they have done too many bad things, but now they all repent devoutly here, work voluntarily, and work diligently on the sewing machine every day, but they don't get paid.

The sun sets in the west, and the hard work of the day is finally over.

The Sairen carpenter, who was usually pampered, was so tired that he felt like his whole body was falling apart. His back ached and he followed everyone to the canteen.

The food in the cafeteria is not bad, but it is only good for ordinary people. For the two people who are used to eating three delicacies and seafood, it is a bit difficult to swallow, but they know that if they don’t eat, no one will give them food here. Xiao Zao, my body may not be able to hold on tomorrow, so I can only hold my nose and let myself eat big mouthfuls.

After eating, it is a rare leisure time for them in the day. Not only can they go to the stadium to exercise, but they can also watch TV in the leisure room.

It was naturally impossible for the Sairen carpenter to exercise due to his exhaustion and backache.

[The rise of Chinese culture, today a Chinese film went overseas and won the Best Foreign Language Film Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences...]

Soon, a piece of news caught their attention.

As people working in the film and television industry, of course they know that the so-called Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards are the Oscars!

The Chinese film industry has been striving for this award for decades, but to their surprise, they actually got it!

They were excited, but also full of regrets. It had only been less than a month since they came in, and they missed such a grand event.

Then, they saw the name of the award-winning film - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!
There are also images of Su You and his group at the Oscars ceremony, as well as the final photo with the trophy.

"what?"

The carpenter and Sai Ren were stunned on the spot, feeling as uncomfortable as if they had eaten flies.

They couldn't imagine what had happened in less than a month.

They instinctively wanted to check it out a thousand times, but found that the only way for them to obtain information now was the public television in front of them.

Before they could even understand the whole story, the TV changed the channel.A burly bald man was holding a remote control and was changing channels frantically, and finally stopped at the shout of "Bear Big Bear II".

Sairen Carpenter wanted to complain about how old he is, but he still watches this kind of movie.

But after looking at each other's size, they wisely shut up. They did have the ability to talk and confuse right and wrong, but here, fists were more useful than mouths.

Even if they want to know how "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar like a cat's claw scratching their hearts, they can only wait.

Wait until the other party has finished reading, and see if you can have the opportunity to adjust it back and take another look.

Hope there will be a replay tomorrow!

……

Beautiful Country, California, The Weinstein Films.

Su You didn't expect that just a few days after returning home, they would come again.

Su You didn't have a good impression of this country full of free air. He didn't want to stay for even a minute if it wasn't necessary.

But this time, they were here to discuss business.

When Harvey saw Su You and his party, Harvey smiled happily. He knew that no one could refuse his invitation!
Of course, if he knew what Li Mingyue was thinking, he didn't know what he would think.

After some pleasantries, Su You didn't want to talk to the other party anymore, so he went straight to the point and started talking about cooperation.

"With this cooperation, we can solve the copyright issue of "The Three-Body Problem", but the screenwriting and creation of the final film are still ours, and you are not allowed to dictate."

"Also, on the set, I am the only one who has the final say. Your producer can make suggestions, but I have to agree!"

"In a word, you Weinstein are only responsible for providing funds and technology, and we, Xihong Film and Television, are fully responsible for everything else."

"And the special effects team should be dominated by Chinese teams, and Weinstein Films will provide necessary support."

"The filming location must be in China, and the main actors must be Chinese actors!"

"We have invested 5 million soft girl coins in Tomato Film and Television, and 25 billion soft girl coins in Weinstein Films. It is expected to be a series of movies, with a total investment of 30 billion. Xihong Film and Television Technology + Capital will invest in shares, and we will receive 30% dividends. Weinstein Films The industry pays 70% dividends.”

In the conference room, Su You talked eloquently, "These are our requirements. Do you have any questions?"

To be honest, Su You's intention to cooperate this time was not very sincere.

He doesn't have a good impression of these beautiful Chinese people, but as Li Mingyue said, this is a good opportunity. If the other party can really agree to all his conditions, then it is not impossible to cooperate with them.

The entire conference room was quiet, and the faces of Weinstein Films executives had sullen looks on their faces.

Is this using the Weinstein Films as a cash machine?
They have always been the only ones to offer this kind of conditions to others. Does this guy really think that just because he won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, his tail will be raised to the sky?

Harvey's face also looked a little ugly. He had always been domineering and had never been so angry. He always told whoever he asked to go to the hotel, he had to go to the hotel, otherwise he would ban him!
But if this guy doesn't work in the beautiful Chinese film and television industry, he really can't do anything to the other party, and now he is begging the other party to do things and want to make money, so he has to endure this tone.

"I have no problem with investing and dividends."

After taking a deep breath, Harvey said, "As for the adaptation, we also believe in Director Su's talent. It is no problem to hand over full power to Xihongshi Film and Television. However, we need to add a gambling agreement. If the final box office profit does not reach 30 %, the responsibility must also be borne by Xihong Film and Television."

"You shouldn't have any objection to this, right?"

With an investment of 30 billion and a profit of 30.00%, the final box office split must reach close to 40 billion, and the final total box office must be at least 120 billion to achieve this goal.

Of course, because it is a series of movies, if it is divided into three parts, the box office of each part will only be 40 billion.

But that's 40 billion!

It's enough to occasionally release a hit movie that can earn 40 billion at the box office. It's understandable how difficult it is to have three movies stabilize at a box office of more than 40 billion.

Even some of Hollywood's most popular movie series, such as the "Fast and Furious" series, cannot make every movie so popular.

Harvey is in the general, okay, you want the right to adapt and have absolute control, no problem, but you have to bear the pressure of making profits. When the time comes, the profits lost by Weinstein Pictures should go to you Xihong Films to make amends.

He believed that a small company, faced with such huge interests, would eventually have no choice but to compromise with them.

Only Weinstein Pictures can make such a huge gamble and have the confidence to make a project with such a large investment profitable.

The other senior executives of Weinstein Films calmed down after hearing this. They can always trust Harvey's methods!
"no problem!"

However, Su You agreed without hesitation.

Ok?
Could it be that he has gone crazy after gaining something?

Does he know what he is talking about?
The people at Weinstein Films looked at Su You like a fool.

Su You's expression remains unchanged and he is confident. With the existence of the derivation card, he is confident in the quality of the film. Coupled with the popularity of "The Three-Body Problem", he does not think it will be too difficult to reach 40 billion in global box office.

snort!
A young man dazzled by victory!
Seeing Su You's appearance, Harvey sneered and said nothing more.

The reason why he made "The Three-Body Problem" was to make money. It didn't matter whether the money came from the audience or from Xihong Film and Television.

Now that the money can be obtained, it doesn't matter so much whether the film is helmed by someone from Weinstein Films.

"We can agree that the filming location will be in China. The story takes place in your country, China, and there is no problem with using Chinese actors as the actors."

Harvey said noncommittally that he knew the intention of Su You's proposal. Setting the filming location in China was just to give the Chinese people more job opportunities. He didn't care about this petty altruism.

"You can use your own special effects team. Are you sure you are qualified for this job?"

"If the special effects go wrong by then, I'm afraid the quality of the film will be a bit worrying."

The sarcastic expression on Harvey's face was well concealed, but it was still caught by Su You.

He does have reason to laugh and worry. In terms of the level of the film industry, there is indeed a big gap between China's film and television circles and Hollywood. And "The Three-Body Problem" is a science fiction film, which will test the level of the film industry and the special effects team.

"Aren't you guys here too!"

"I believe that with the guidance and control of the Weinstein Films' top Hollywood special effects team, the final special effects level will not be much different!"

"As partners, we all gain and lose. I believe Weinstein Films will be very willing to help us!"

Su You also smiled and said with a big smile.

Harvey looked livid.

Damn it, so shameless!
It was the first time he had seen someone talk about free prostitution so confidently.

He understood what Su You meant, which was to let their top special effects team bring new talents to Xihong Film and Television.
