- Menjie proposed, and Wan Tongtong later agreed with China Film Group, the first part of the ¡®bet¡¯ was actually very simple.
During this process, Wan Tongtong repeatedly tested the other party's psychological expectations for the results of the movie "Red Cliff".
In fact, according to the other party¡¯s psychological expectations, based on an investment of 70 million U.S. dollars, it is estimated that only by obtaining a box office result of more than 150 million U.S. dollars can the cost be recovered simply by relying on the movie box office.
If you can only harvest about 120 million U.S. dollars, then I am afraid that including all the peripherals, you can barely recover the cost.
So in fact, the people in charge of the movie "Red Cliff" expected the movie to have a box office performance of more than 150 million US dollars.
Even if it is a big hit, it is estimated that the box office result is only more than 200 million US dollars. As for its total box office result reaching 300 million US dollars
Even they can only expect a little bit, and they really don¡¯t think that the movie "Red Cliff" can achieve such results.
However, in the first part of the ¡®bet¡¯ between China Film Group and Celebrity Film and Television, a box office figure will be directly determined.
If the movie "300" can reach such a height that the movie "Red Cliff" cannot reach anyway, China Film Group will directly admit defeat at this stage and spend one-third of its 'gamble' Directly to celebrity film and television companies.
This number must be a level that China Film Group believes is ¡®absolutely unattainable¡¯!
In fact, in their minds, a box office of 300 million US dollars is a height they cannot reach. However, in order to increase this number and prevent celebrity film and television companies from easily defeating them, after a long period of wrangling between the two parties, they directly gave Achieved a box office result of 420 million US dollars!
If the movie "300" can achieve a total box office of US$420 million worldwide, then China Film Group will directly determine that "this is a height that the movie "Red Cliff" cannot reach, and will directly Give up at this point.
But such a number, no matter in anyone's eyes. It was really too high. Even people from China Film Group felt that Wan Tongtong would not agree and would continue to negotiate with them.
In this kind of thing, you always have to give others room for bargaining!
In fact, in their minds, if Wan Tongtong gives a "box office result of 380 million US dollars", they will be able to agree.
But what surprised them was that Wan Tongtong did not reject such a terrifying standard of US$420 million. On the contrary, they directly made demands to everyone, hoping to increase the gambling capital in the first stage. To this end, the celebrity film and television company was even willing to raise the standards proposed by the other party higher!
During the negotiation process, Wan Tongtong fully demonstrated the confidence of the celebrity film and television company. I am confident that the movie "300" will earn at least US$420 million at the box office.
But the other party obviously didn¡¯t think so. He felt that if the standards could be raised a little higher, there would be absolutely no hope for the celebrity film and television company to win, so after hesitation, he made a decision.
?? If the movie "300" can earn more than 450 million U.S. dollars at the box office worldwide. So in the first step, China Film Group lost to the celebrity film and television company.
And the bet is
At Wan Tongtong's request, in addition to the original promise that Huaxia Film Group could randomly select a script from our script library, if necessary, we must be responsible for team formation, and when the movie is released, we will also In addition to the unconditional treatment of the group's flagship movies and arranging for them to be released in theaters, a new item has been added!
The original request was equivalent to helping a celebrity film and television company to shoot a movie. But after Wan Tongtong's request, there was another request.
Compared with the first requirement, the second requirement is much simpler.
There is no need to select scripts from Huaxia Film Group, and they do not need to be responsible for assembling a crew. Menjie¡¯s request is very simple!
When the time comes, Celebrity Film and Television Company will acquire the scripts on its own, form its own team, and recruit actors. All such issues will be completed by Celebrity Film and Television Company. What China Film Group has to do is to arrange a release time and theater circuits for this movie when time is available.
¡° In this way, it will indeed not consume much resources of China Film Group. At best, it's just a matter of using their relationship.
?After thinking about it, the other party agreed.
Finally, just some time ago, Warner Bros. Entertainment announced directly in front of the news media that the global box office of the movie "300" had exceeded the US$500 million mark. After that, China Film Group Already know that they lost in this bet!
The standard agreed upon with Wan Tongtong was US$450 million, but at this time, the movie "300" had already exceeded the US$500 million mark. Isn't this a loss?
Of course, if you lose, you have to pay the price!
"Brother Jie, I just contacted the person in charge of China Film Group. They have sent all the unfilmed movie scripts in their script library to my email. I have already sent them to you. You Take a look!¡±
After a while, Wan Tongtong called Menjie. After logging into his mailbox, Menjie saw the email sent by Wan Tongtong.
There are hundreds of script names in the email, as well as brief information.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that China Film Group would have such a deep foundation, and they would just send me hundreds of excellent scripts¡¡±
Looking at so many scripts, and through the King System, Menjie knew that the quality of each script was very good, and he suddenly became jealous.
It¡¯s a pity that among so many excellent scripts, Menjie can only choose one.
¡°There are hundreds of scripts, it¡¯s too troublesome to choose!¡±
Men Jie shook his head slightly. He didn't bother to choose one by one. He directly entered the King's system with his mind, opened the information of 'China Film Group', and directly searched for their specific information.
My eyes are set on 2007. I browsed and queried the names of all the movies produced by Huaxia Film Group one by one.
Among so many scripts, there may indeed be some excellent works that have been missed, and they may not be released until later. Menjie was indeed a bit imprudent in searching like this.
¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. Anyway, there will be two opportunities in the future where you can choose scripts from the script library of China Film Group. This time, Menjie only needs to select movies produced in 2007 and 2008.
Menjie thinks that the movie "Lust, Caution" he is currently filming will be officially released this year. If he wants to win an award that can crush the other party, he will have to wait until at least 2008, so Menjie has to choose from the script library of China Film Group. . The best movie in 2007 and 2008 is the best way to win it and make it the first movie of a celebrity film and television company!
If you want it, you want the best!
"In 2007 and 2008 there were really many excellent works among the movies produced by China Film Group!"
Looking at the names that symbolized the box office, Menjie couldn't help but murmured in confusion.
"In 2007, the outstanding films produced by China Film Group included "The Disciple", "The Proposal", "Love Call Transfer", "The Fuse" and other works, and the results were very good!"
"These movies are all well-known in the 2007 Chinese movie rankings. Among them, "Love Call Transfer" and "The Fuse" have similar results, and the investment is not very large, but both have received more than 30 million. The box office performance of Ruanmei Coin can be regarded as the outstanding work of 2007!"
"The most outstanding works produced by Huaxia Film Group are the movies "The Proposal" and "The Disciple". They ranked third and ninth respectively. They are both very good works. If possible I really want to take them all!¡±
"And in 2008 it was really weird!"
While searching for outstanding works produced by China Film Group in 2008, Menjie frowned slightly.
In addition to the movie "Red Cliff", there are two other works that ranked third and ninth in 2008, both of which were funded by China Film Group.
But the movie ranked second did not appear in the "script library" sent to Menjie. Even if Menjie wanted to choose it, he announced it!
To know. That box office result exceeded 200 million soft sister coins. It is definitely the highest box office movie of Huaxia Film Group in the past two years, except for the movie "Red Cliff"!
"Pity!"
He shook his head slightly. Menjie no longer thought about anything else, his eyes fell on the names of the two movies respectively, and he frowned slightly.
One was the third movie called "Investment Fame" in the Mainland's box office rankings in 2007. In the end, it was only 650,000 soft girl coins.It is a rare good work that can reach a box office of 200 million.
And another work, although its box office performance only ranked ninth in 2008, its award-winning performance is simply too terrifying!
In terms of awards, it is not inferior to the movie "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters". It is also an excellent work that coexists with box office and awards. It is a rare masterpiece. As a literary and artistic film, it has won 110 million soft sister coins. box office results.
??Looking at it this way, these two movies are definitely on par!
"In terms of box office, my movie "300" ranks at the bottom, there is definitely no shortage!"
With his mind entangled, Menjie could not help but murmur.
"But in terms of awardsthe two Best Actor trophies brought to me by the movie "Yun Shui Yao", plus the movie "Lust, Caution", it seems that I am also not lacking. It seems that I really don't need to specialize To participate in a literary film or a commercial film, I just need to choose what I like!"
As the first film produced by a celebrity film and television company, it has quite sufficient conditions. Although a simple Chinese film can no longer bring too many benefits to Menjie, he is the chairman of the company after all, even if it is for the company , this time Menjie also plans to go into battle shirtless and take action himself, so when choosing the script, he naturally has to be more in line with his own taste.
Taking into account the box office and award-winning status of the two films, in fact, the benefits they can bring to celebrity film and television companies are the same. There is no essential difference.
"correct!"
Suddenly, Menjie clapped his hands fiercely and said in surprise, "I remember when I was casting, being able to compete with top stars would give me an extra boost in my acting skills! Then choose the actor who is more famous than the original actor. movie, so that my acting skills can be slightly improved um"
? It was very surprising at first. But then, after seeing the casts of the two movies, Menjie was speechless for a while.
The lineups of both movies are quite extraordinary!
The previous movie had Liu Dehua, Li Lianjie, and Jin Chengwu, and the subsequent movie also had Li Ming and Sun Honglei.
They are all quite powerful seniors in the film industry!
¡°It¡¯s really confusing!¡±
He let out a long sigh. Menjie was also quite helpless.
¡°The movies have similar results and the casts are all very strong. It¡¯s really hard to choose!¡±
Men Jie bit his lip helplessly. He was also very entangled in his heart. He really wanted to win both movies and directly create two movies for celebrity film and television companies.
But it¡¯s a pity that even if Menjie is willing, China Film Group is not willing either!
"Huh? Director?"
When I am confused in my heart. Menjie's eyes suddenly focused on the specific personnel information of the two movies, and his eyes shrank slightly.
For a movie, the importance of the director is self-evident, so in order to ensure that these two movies at least do not change the taste of the movie due to the change of director, resulting in poor results, Menjie also plans to use the original director. .
When choosing the original director, because of the agreement with China Film Group, they would help them invite the director. And as long as there is a script and the film can be released smoothly, basically any director can be hired.
After all, they are able to direct a film mainly because they like a certain script very much and will only accept it in order to be able to film something that suits their own needs. They do not need to consider too many other factors.
Basically, if the treatment can be given to them, that¡¯s fine.
Such a standard. In Menjie's opinion, he would definitely be suitable for most directors in China. Even some top directors would probably agree.
After all, they were paid enough. Moreover, if they take photos of their favorite works, there is really no reason to refuse.
Even for great directors such as Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, as long as the script is in line with their wishes, the problem will not be too big. When the time comes, they can fully show their sincerity and they can be invited.
Just like Director Chen Kexin, the original director of the movie "The Certificate of Investment", although he is one of the top few directors in China, if Menjie can do this and with the help of China Film Group, it is not possible to invite him over. questionable.
But if it is the movie "Mei Lanfang", it seems that it is not such a simple problem.
Everything is because Chen Kaige, the director of the movie "Mei Lanfang", is really famous!
??There is no need to say too much, just a simple personal resume can prove his status in the Chinese film industry!
Zhang Yimou used to be Chen Kaige¡¯s royal photographer, and Chen Kaige¡¯s status at that time was no less than that of Zhang Yimou today.
After so many years of development and network management, Chen Kaige, who has been able to completely integrate business and art, is indeed a very extraordinary person.
Otherwise, how could he make a movie "Mei Lanfang" obviously a literary film "Mei Lanfang" and earn the box office of hundreds of millions of soft girl coins. How about the top ten box office rankings in Huaxia in 2008?
It can also be seen from this aspect that Chen Kaige, who has combined literature and art with business, is very powerful and has a high status. Whether he is a commercial film director or a literary film director, he is regarded very highly. of admiration.
With such a big-name director, even Menjie can¡¯t guarantee that he can be invited here based on his salary and script!
¡°Forget it, let¡¯s just choose the movie ¡°The Certificate of Voting¡±!
Men Jie gave a wry smile, a look of reluctance flashed in his eyes, and then he deleted the data of the script "Mei Lanfang" from the computer.
If Menjie participated in the movie "Mei Lanfang" and could collaborate with the great director Chen Kaige, and the heroine of this movie is Zhang Ziyi, whom Menjie is familiar with, it would indeed be a pretty good thing, and he would still be able to get a high profile. With the box office performance of 100 million yuan, Menjie is even likely to win some awards.
But unfortunately, Menjie was not confident enough to convince director Chen Kaige to direct this movie that he should have directed.
After all, the script Menjie chooses next is extremely important to the celebrity film and television company. Even as the company's most popular star, Menjie plans to star in this work.
Although there is some possibility of inviting the great director Chen Kaige, Menjie does not want to take this risk. He just wants to be safe and let the celebrity film and television company launch the next movie project. This is the key point!
"Just choose the movie "The Certificate of Entrepreneurship"!"
Men Jie heaved a sigh of relief after he separated out the title and script synopsis of the movie called "The Letter of Contribution" and sent it to Wan Tongtong via email.
Although he was still a little reluctant to give up, Menjie had already made his decision and did not need to think too much.
The next thing Menjie has to do is to do his best to prepare for the movie "The Letter of Voting"!
Although China Film Group will also help Celebrity Film and Television Company prepare this film, in addition, there is still a lot of work that needs to be completed by Celebrity Film and Television Company and even Menjie himself.
To this end, Menjie is even prepared to spend a large sum of money and use his contacts in the entertainment industry for many years to prepare for this movie. - Didn't finish reading?
