Chapter 231 The Hidden Dangers of Jiangliu Movies

After half-drinking, Qiao Jianjun revealed the real purpose of the treat, which was the overseas copyright issue of "Monster".

After "Monster" was released in many countries, the box office response was very good.

Even in Europe, where the film technology tree is skewed, in Spain alone, the box office of movies exceeds one million US dollars.

Under this situation, an international film distributor approached Qiao Jianjun, one of the producers, with the intention of buying out the North American distribution rights at a low price.

Qiao Jianjun adheres to the principle of not being against money as a person, and the mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are. He wants to persuade Jiang Liubie to be angry with the major Hollywood companies and sell them as they should.

Jiang Liu didn't think so: "Mr. Qiao, of course "Monster" is willing to sell the movie to North America. I also want "Monster" to create more profits, but not at a low price."

"Mr. Jiang, how much is not considered a cheap sale?"

"If we don't share it, it will be sold for at least 3000 million US dollars."

"Alas, Mr. Jiang, you are a bit pushy. The US$2000 million copyright fee forces the buyer to vigorously promote and distribute the film, otherwise others will not be able to recover the cost."

Qiao Jianjun turned to Mr. Han: "Mr. Han, are you right?"

"Jiang Liu, what do you think? This problem will have to be solved sooner or later. You can't abandon the North American market for all your future movies."

"The production cost of "Orangutan" is 1 million. There are nine investors including Yi Xin. It only matters if it does well at the Asian box office. If it is not satisfactory, the copyright will not be sold to North America, including Mr. Qiao. Several of your employers will not spare you."

Han Sanping took a sip of wine with a smile.

"Mr. Han has said it before. Failure in investment is due to poor vision. I will never blame others in the selection of the Demon City Academy, let alone move Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Liu glanced at Mr. Han gratefully and said slowly: "Mr. Qiao is right. I just force Hollywood to increase pre-publicity and distribution, and don't want to do business without capital again."

"It's okay to treat others with the drama of going to Chinatown to make money from a few or dozens of movie theaters. I will definitely not accept this trick."

The fragrance of wine is also afraid of the dark alleys. No matter how good a movie is, without large-scale publicity, it will easily be overwhelmed by movies of the same period.

How Hollywood treats outside films.

No matter how well an external film sells in a region and has a good reputation, they will always spend the least money and the least number of cinemas to promote and screen it.

After a few weeks of small-scale screening, the box office of a single theater did not reach a super high level, and the film was abandoned directly.

Such a conservative mechanism can indeed avoid maximizing losses.

But is there really no arrogance and contempt from Hollywood?

A film’s proven value in other regions means nothing?

Must it be a value recognized by Hollywood that is the real value?

On the contrary, if a Hollywood blockbuster has proven its box office strength in the North American market, it must be recognized by regions outside North America and screened on a large scale?

Audiences in North America are human beings, but audiences outside North America are not human beings?

It’s simply gangster logic!

To put it bluntly, foreign films do not have high box office in Hollywood. It is because the small group of people at the top of Hollywood have set up a set of game protection rules for themselves.

Then they constructed a set of grand reasons for their dirty hooligan behavior and publicized it, convincing many people in the world.

Jiang Liubiao is not used to it.

When his movies go to North America, they either take a share of the box office distribution or buy them at a super high price. Then in order to recover the cost, they have to increase publicity, distribute the movies, and give Jiang Liu and Jiang Liu's movies free publicity.

Hollywood disagrees.

Now that Jiang Liu has clearly seen the rules of the Hollywood game, he would rather let the copyright languish in his hands than let Hollywood make a dime from him.

Of course, many people in the world don't see this.

Or even if you see it, you don’t think much of it. Rather than fighting an invisible and intangible enemy, it is obviously more practical to keep money in your pocket.

That's what Qiao Jianjun thought, but Jiang Liu stopped him at an impossible price.

He has no place to say that he is suffering.

Who allowed Jiangliu to bring them huge investment profits?

"Monster" couldn't sell the North American distribution rights, but the movie sold well in other parts of the world, and many people followed Jiang Liu and made money.

If Jiang Liu's subsequent films can still make money like this, I believe no domestic or even foreign investors will offend Jiang Liu because of the North American market.

This is what Jiang Liu wants.

In a few years, if he still has his passion and ambition, he may not be able to cooperate with domestic theaters and give Hollywood movies a large-scale release of the trilogy.

At that time, we will see if Hollywood will prevent his movie from landing in North America.

Because of a few arguments, the atmosphere at the dinner was not very lively.

But overall it's okay. Before Jiang Liu's movies completely decline, I believe that not many domestic investors are willing to break up with Jiang Liu directly.

So the next few people took the initiative to avoid the topic of copyright and talked about "Pirates 2" and Liu Xiang, who was known as the Flying Man after the Athens Olympics.

"I remember the general manager of Gengtian Gong is called Zhou Guoshan."

Mr. Han looked at Jiang Liu with admiration on his face and said, "Mr. Zhou is young, his skills and vision are incredible. Even if he spent a lot of money on advertising space for the Athens Olympics, he also signed this contract before Liu Xiang won the championship. Spokesperson.”

Jiang Liu said proudly: "It's called Zhou Guoshan."

Geng Tian Gong did not inform Jiang Liu in advance when he was bidding for advertising space in the Athens Olympics and signing Liu Xiang to be the spokesperson for Chun Chun Milk.

He saw an advertisement on TV and later realized that Zhou Guoshan had done something great.

He was very pleased that the chick had finally grown up, was trying to escape from protection, and spread its wings to soar in the sky.

"Mr. Jiang, let's take a dip in the hot springs. It's getting cold. It's just the right time to ward off the cold."

"It's okay to hang out, but I won't hang out with you guys. Li Xin is waiting for me outside." Jiang Liu laughed and rejected Qiao Jianjun.

"It turns out that Mr. Jiang has brought his confidante, who is Li Xing? You are already here, why don't you invite her to eat together? As brothers, we can help Mr. Jiang to check things. He is a talented person, so he must be worthy of a famous family. A beautiful lady."

Mr. Han laughed and scolded: "Jianjun, don't talk nonsense, Li Xin is Jiang Liu's lover."

"Ah? Siblings? When did Mr. Jiang get married? I didn't receive an invitation either."

"Last year, I was locked up at home and had a simple wedding for two." Jiang Liu explained with a smile.

Qiao Jianjun said enthusiastically: "If you can't do this, let the parents at home have a good day and have another one. At least let us have a glass of wedding wine."

"Forget it, my parents are a bit feudal. It will be a second marriage, which is unlucky. Mr. Han, Mr. Qiao, everyone, I will go first. You have drank a lot. You can also find a pool to take a dip later. meeting."

Jiang Liu shook hands with a few people and left immediately.

Chinese people love to talk over wine.

It just so happens that some people don't drink well and talk a lot after drinking. They talk endlessly.

If he didn't leave, a few people would be able to stand at the door of the box and talk all day long.
