In early April, the promotion of "Infernal Affairs" started intensively. Because the mainland China signed the most favorable 35% share contract with China Film Group, Dandelion Film Company also invested a large amount of money in promoting the film. If this kind of import split is too low, it will not be cost-effective for the producers to participate in promotion. They must have hope to be motivated. At the same time, Hong Kong and Taiwan will be handed over to Universal Films for promotion, and future sales in Southeast Asia will also be handed over to Universal Films. In Korea and Japan, Dandelion contacted the Korean private company Dus. The two parties had a happy cooperation on "My Sassy Girl". Naturally, they will continue to cooperate this time. Originally Dandelion¡¯s main work was on ¡°Infernal Affairs¡±, but something unexpected happened. An exciting surprise. Fox Broadcasting Company from the United States is very optimistic about civilian talent shows such as "Pop-Idol" and "Super Girl" and has always wanted to introduce copyrights. Unfortunately, because the two companies were fighting a copyright lawsuit, there was no way to decide the winner. Naturally, the copyright could not be traded. It was not until the end of March that the International Court of Justice ruled that the copyright belonged to "Super Girl". So, Fox approached Dandelion and offered to buy the copyright. Neither Dandelion nor MapleStory were familiar with the copyright transaction fees of entertainment programs, so they consulted Wan Xiaohu. Wan Xiaohu didn't understand either. In line with the principle of bargaining when doing business, he asked the company's people to shout out a copyright fee of 100 million US dollars. If the plan frightened others, he would change his words and say it was 100 million yuan. This move is neither ruthless nor cunning. It¡¯s just that the plan couldn¡¯t keep up with the changes, and the Fox Broadcasting Company on the opposite side was also ruthless, cutting it by two-thirds, and only agreed to pay 35 million US dollars to purchase the rights. At that time, Fox¡¯s negotiators were probably thinking proudly that by cutting so hard, they should be able to scare Chinese companies. Don't dare to ask for a high price. But they never expected how shocked Wan Xiaohu, Su Ya and the executives of MapleStory would be when they heard this price. "I'll pick, 35 million U.S. dollars, hey, hey, hey. Are you sure you're talking about US dollars and not RMB?" "This American has a lot of money, or something?" "Mr. Su, Mr. Wan, you don't know, I was scared at the time Yes, this is faster than Mr. Wan making money for a movie! I almost agreed, but then I thought that they were willing to pay 35 million US dollars, so there must be a higher price, so I resisted and didn¡¯t agree. , keep talking. Talk hard!" Wan Xiaohu gave the highest instruction. Unfortunately, every gain must come with a loss. The first time was Fox's mistake, which accidentally leaked the bottom line. However, Dandelion's negotiators were shocked and also missed their own bottom line. Fox Company insisted on US$35 million and refused to let go. After many weeks, the rights to "Super Girl" were finally purchased for US$40 million. "You are young. We are too young!" Knowing the final result, Wan Xiaohu could only sigh like this. This time neither side understands what the other is doing. Fox valued China's entertainment program copyrights too highly, and Dandelion underestimated its own copyrights. In the end, although they both received prices that far exceeded expectations, they still felt that they had suffered a huge loss. Fox thought they could get it for $10 million, but ended up spending $40 million. Dandelion and MapleStory lamented that the rights could have been sold for $60 to 70 million. Sold for $40 million. "You will gain wisdom after every experience. In the future, you will know the copyright value of entertainment programs, and you will not make this mistake again." Wan Xiaohu summarized the company's executives at the "Super Girl" copyright summary meeting, "taking advantage of this opportunity The second season of "Super Girl" has not been launched for some time. The company has made money again. I suggest that all senior executives spend a month to study the market in the UK and the United States to understand how others operate entertainment programs to avoid future problems. We are at a disadvantage again internationally. We must strengthen our awareness of copyrights!¡± ¡°Mr. Wan is very reasonable. We are all frogs in the well. We will never know what the outside world is like if we don¡¯t go out. I will seriously organize the company¡¯s management to go abroad. "Inspection and study." "At the same time, we must also expand the production team and hire creative designers to produce more entertainment and interactive programs!" Wan Xiaohu emphasized, "I will also take time to provide some creative ideas." When Wan Xiaohu said this, what flashed in Wan Xiaohu's mind were "China's Got Talent", "China Dream Show", "The Voice of China", "China Star Jump", "Big Variety Show", "Strictly Come Dancing" ", "Where Are We Going, Dad" and other entertainment programs that I have watched "Super Girl" sold the copyright. Although it made money, it was not Wan Xiaohu's main concern. The focus of his career was still in movies. Dandelion Film Company, Director Wan Xiaohu Studio. Wan Xiaohu, Ning Hao, Xing Aina, Yue Xiaojun, Cheng Er, and Liu Yang were discussing around the desk. ""Crazy Stone"¡·The exploration is not deep enough. There is still a lot to be done in this multi-threaded narrative method. Ning Hao, I think if you want to make a classic graduation work like Tiger, you still have to use this multi-threaded narrative. Digging on the way. The idea of ??"Crazy Racing" proposed by Tiger is very good and worth digging into. "This discussion is nothing more than Ning Hao's new film direction. With the success of "Crazy Stone", which detonated the stone phenomenon, audiences across the country are now praising Ning Hao. The box office and DVD sales are very good. Naturally, Ning Hao Hao also knew the taste and wanted to continue to show his talents in commercial films, so Wan Xiaohu took advantage of the situation and proposed the movie "Crazy Racing". This was Ning Hao's real success, with a box office of over 100 million. Let him become the fourth billionaire director in the country. In the eyes of later generations, Racing may not be as good as Stone Classic, but it is very successful in commercialization. Wan Xiaohu will naturally not let such a good movie be stranded for a while. , basically determined Ning Hao¡¯s next stage of filming "Crazy Racing", preparing the script in the early stage and preparing for the filming in the later stage, striving to complete the filming within two years. Ning Hao is not a fast shooter like Wan Xiaohu. He has not graduated and needs to work part-time, so the filming time will naturally be longer. ¡°Hey Tiger, Ning Hao has found his direction, which is to make a sequel to Stone. And you? Are there any plans to make a sequel to My Sassy Girl? "Cheng Er suddenly asked. ""My Sassy Girl". There are no plans for this yet. "Wan Xiaohu shook his head, "Now I am busy with the release of "Infernal Affairs", and the filming of "Infernal Affairs" a while ago gave me too much pressure and inspiration. I plan to digest it in the near future and do some simple things. Things, filming is too tiring. " In the past six months in Hong Kong, Wan Xiaohu was exposed to Hong Kong movies and learned a lot. "Infernal Affairs" brought pressure and motivation to Wan Xiaohu in terms of controlling the stars and portraying the plot. After it was successfully filmed, it was really rewarding There are so many things. In the past, he still copied the script and added some modifications. Now he can do it with ease, and it is more about innovation and breakthrough in "Infernal Affairs". , he modified the things that he felt were bad in his previous life, and it felt more perfect. However, after making four movies in the past two years, Iron Man couldn't bear it anymore, so Wan Xiaohu wanted to relax and take a break before making a movie. Do some light work. ¡°So you don¡¯t plan to make a sequel? " "I never thought about a sequel. " Cheng Er rubbed his hands: "This. Tiger, I think. "My Sassy Girl" has such good results, it would be a pity not to make a sequel. Even if it doesn't, at least there will be a companion piece like Ning Hao's Racing. " Wan Xiaohu raised his eyebrows: "Cheng Er, you have an idea. " "Hey, I won't hide it from you either. I really have an idea. After the Stone was over, I was thinking about what I wanted to do. To be honest, my talent may not be as good as that of you and Ning Hao. But I have been working hard for many years. I have been an assistant director for two movies for you and an assistant director for Ning Hao. Now I want to make a movie of my own. " "Tell me. " "That's right, "My Sassy Girl" is such a sensation, it would be a pity not to continue developing it, and Jun Ji-hyun doesn't have any new plans. This is a complete waste of her popularity. Why not make a movie of the same type? I just made a script idea called "Savage Senior Sister"" When Cheng Er told the general plot of "Savage Senior Sister", Wan Xiaohu was speechless. This It was really similar to the companion piece to My Sassy Girl that he remembered. It was about the heroine being a police officer and how she healed herself after her boyfriend died. Basically, it could be watched along with "My Sassy Girl". As a prequel movie ¡°What do you think of this script? "Wan Xiaohu doesn't know much about the previous track "Savage Sister", and he doesn't know whether it was a success or a failure, so he simply asked everyone present. We have been exploring commercial movies together for a long time and have our own ideas and ways of looking at problems. Ning Hao thought for a while and said: "I think it's okay to use "My Sassy Girl" to get some hype, otherwise it will be a waste of the strong topicality and sensation brought by Sassy Girl. Hollywood's development of movies is very layered and comprehensive. We cannot compare with sex, but we should also explore more in this aspect. " "I also think it should be made. After all, this kind of romance film is just a small investment. Jun Ji-hyun and Huang Xiaoming are both Dandelion artists. If you lose, you won't lose much, but if you make a profit, it will be a good movie. "Liu Yang expressed his opinion. "Since you all think it should be filmed, Cheng Er, you write the script and we will have a meeting to discuss it."?We will set up investment projects for you. " Wan Xiaohu made the decision. Cheng Er is a talented director and has made many works with him. It is worth investing in this person. Moreover, Quan Zhixian also needs some tailor-made scripts to solidify her as the first sister of the flashing star. status, and the effect of becoming popular in Asia. As Liu Yang said, it doesn't matter if the movie is lost, it only costs a few million, and it doesn't matter. After Wan Xiaohu decided to prepare "Crazy Racing" and "Savage Sister". Once again, I got involved in the publicity work of "Infernal Affairs" and became famous all over the world. This is the only time! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ) PS: I admit, it¡¯s another chapter. There are some things that must be explained. It is impossible to just write about movies, otherwise it would be meaningless to write too much. To be honest, I originally planned to write more about women and dramas, but unfortunately it was not the right time. I encountered harmony as soon as I started writing, and I did not dare to touch it. This is the bottom line. But I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s to everyone¡¯s taste.
