Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 50 50. Anti-takeover

"To be precise, the US$50 is to purchase the overseas copyright of Mr. Chen's film, including screening rights and distribution rights." Allen said matter-of-factly.

Chen Li's eyes widened!This is a one-size-fits-all approach!

"Mr. Allen, I won't sell it at this price." Chen Li said directly. He couldn't sell it at a low price.

Allen was also puzzled: "But Mr. Chen, I am definitely sincere in purchasing your movie at this price. Movies by some big directors in Xia Guo only cost more than 100 million."

Wang Anrou whispered in Chen Li's ear: "Brother Chen, although his price is low, it is indeed the price of ordinary movies in China now."

In her opinion, Chen Li can actually be sold. If she has made enough money at home, she can use this film to try to gain popularity abroad.

The photography guy obviously thought so too, nodding his head frequently.

In Xia State, it is very difficult for domestic films to go global without a good distributor, and good distributors are particularly demanding. This is also one of the difficulties of domestic films in recent years.

Chen Li shook his head. Others didn't know whether this movie would be popular overseas, but he knew that the box office return rate of this movie was as high as 17909 times, making it one of the horror films with the highest return on investment in film history! !
If he were to be bought out for 50 yuan, Chen Li felt that he would become the biggest scapegoat in the history of movies and would definitely be laughed at for the rest of his life.

Allen didn't expect that it would be so difficult to negotiate the film authorization this time. He originally thought that new directors like this would be easier to fool. Although he was not a big distributor, as long as there was an opportunity to spread their films overseas, they would definitely do it. I would only agree with a lot of thanks.

Judging from the other party's expression, it seems that he is very dissatisfied with the price! ?

Allen is now a publisher, but in fact this is just his side job, and his main job is making movies.

Yes, his other identity is a director, and he opened a film studio in Hollywood, but according to standards, it is not popular, but he has had a movie dream since he was a child, he wants to become a famous director!

For this reason, he made a movie not long ago. He originally thought it would become a big hit, but it turned out that it went bankrupt as soon as it was released.

But he still did not give up, gritted his teeth and continued to work hard. He relied on his connections to start a publisher's business, intending to make money to pay off debts, and then look for opportunities to make movies again.

This time he came to Xia Kingdom to collect stories, and unexpectedly fell in love with Chen Li's movie, so he planned to negotiate the copyright and distribute it overseas when the time comes!

From his point of view, this movie is very novel, and it can make over a million, and then he will have enough money for his next movie!
Chen Li pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Allen, I'm curious about how many channels your distribution company has to show my movies?"

This is a very critical issue. Don’t be happy just because a distributor comes to your door. In the Yingjiang area, theaters choose foreign movies mainly based on the strength of the distributor.

Large distributors like Paramount and Lockney cooperate with almost all Yingjiang Cinemas, so the box office of the movies they choose will not be too bad.

If it is a small distributor, they will have relatively fewer channels and fewer theaters to show the film, so the box office results can be imagined.

This is the reason why many popular domestic films are languished overseas, as big distributors are hard to come by.

As for Allen's situation in front of him, although Chen Li was not very clear about him at all.

"Ahem, please don't worry, Mr. Chen. We have many theater channels in Yingjiang, and we have a good relationship with myself, but this is far from enough. Our goal is [-]! Only in this way can your movie shine. Yes." Allen said impassionedly and confidently.

Two hundred families! ?

Hearing this data, Wang Anrou and the photography guy were a little surprised. This data is already considered high.

In the past, it would have been unparalleled for a domestic film to be shown in a hundred theaters in Yingjiang, so the two of them were a little excited after listening to it, and both hinted that Chen Li could sign it. If they missed this opportunity, they might not get it again!
Chen Li shook his head and laughed: "Mr. Allen, so, how much is it?"

"Mr. Chen, how much is not the key, the key is..." "Mr. Allen, I don't want to listen to those false words, I want real data." Chen Li suddenly said in a serious tone.

Allen was shocked. He didn't expect this young man to put so much pressure on him. Shouldn't he be a newcomer?Why is it more difficult than those directors?

At this point, he could only bite the bullet and break it: "Well, there are more than a dozen theaters, but! I'm still talking with other theaters, and we can work together soon!"

"Hiss, hiss," the photographer took a breath.

The target was [-], but now there are only a dozen! ?Damn it! !Can you brag like this? !

Wang Anrou also remembered a joke in China, saying that a man opened a century-old store, but no one had heard of it. After asking, he found out that it was still 99 years away from being a century-old store.

Chen Li: "."

He was also speechless. Isn't this a waste of time? !
"Goodbye Mr. Allen." Chen Li didn't want to waste time with this guy anymore.

Now it was Allen's turn to be anxious. He quickly said: "Mr. Chen, please think about it. I am really sincere. You have to believe in my vision because I am also a director!"

Hearing that the other party was also a director, Chen Li asked curiously: "Oh? Are you also a director? What movies have you made?"

Allen gritted his teeth and said: "."Killer Night" is my debut novel."

Wang Anrou searched for it immediately, and then asked in shock: "Investment of 300 million, box office of 30?"

Chen Li really wanted to give this guy a slap in the face, but you still have the nerve to say that you are a director?
"How about this, Mr. Chen, if you sell me the film rights, and if you make a profit, I will give you [-]% of the box office dividend. Then I happen to have a good script on hand, and I will invite you to go to Hollywood to film with me. How about that!" ?”

He knows that Hollywood is a sacred palace in the hearts of filmmakers from all over the world.

Many filmmakers in the Xia Kingdom want to develop in Hollywood and get gold plating. If I give them a chance this time, it will be okay! ?

If it weren't for the fact that there are no good movies to be released in various countries recently and his debts are so tight, he would not be able to give such good conditions!

The photographer who was listening on the side had some thoughts in mind. He wanted to go to Hollywood to film. Then the movie would be labeled as a Hollywood movie. Not only would he be honored, but if it was released in China, the box office would not be bad!
However, when he looked at Chen Li, he found that the other party was very calm and had no reaction at all.

The photography guy couldn't help but sigh, he is indeed a boss, but his mentality is different.

But how did he know that Chen Li didn't care.

"You mean you have a studio in Hollywood?" Chen Li asked with interest.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, I worked hard to build that." Allen was very proud when he said this.

"Mr. Allen, sell it to me, I want to buy your studio!" Chen Li grinned.

"!!!"

Wang Anrou and the photography guy were completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?Why has the style of painting changed?
Chen Li once again did not follow the routine?
Allen was also dumbfounded. He looked at Chen Li with his mouth wide open and was speechless for a moment.

I just want to acquire the rights to your movie, and you’re really targeting my studio! ?
