Hollywood legendary director

If "Bad Guy" wants to enter the Chinese market, it will naturally abide by other people's rules.

According to Han Cheng, in the movie, Nicholas Cage's fight scenes in the elevator should be cut off some frontal close-ups, and Tom Cruise should also avoid frontal shots where he shot Kate Beckinsale. Later, Heath Ledger's actions and Tom Cruise's actions for the upper position also had to cut some scenes, but other than that, it was nothing.

After listening to the specific requirements, Lehman said, "Yes." The way he readily agreed also made the China Film Group's buying team very happy.

After all, if people are unwilling to cut, they can do nothing, at best they can only give up the idea of ​​introducing screening.

"Then let's be more specific, let's talk about agency distribution..." Then, Han Cheng talked about China Film's regulations on split accounts.

This time, he never thought about releasing "Bad Guy" in the form of buying out the copyright, although the former would make them more profitable.

The reason is also very simple, there are not enough places.This method only allows China Film and China Film to introduce about 15 copies each, and they can be issued separately by one party.Such a convenient way is naturally finished at the beginning.

And buying out the rights is usually to buy movies that have been released for a long time, so the cost will be lower, but "Bad Guy" is only the premiere in Cannes, of course it is not the first choice.

Next, the two parties started negotiations on cooperation issues. Both parties were more sincere, and the negotiations went smoothly.

After a while, the related problems were solved.

The terms of the accounting provided by China Film is that Europa Pictures can get a 13% share of the box office revenue of the movie "Bad Guy" in China.(Ps: This ratio is dead. As long as foreign filmmakers want to enter the Chinese market, they have no choice.)

The 13% ratio is naturally very harsh, especially compared to the general international distribution standards (35% for producers, 17% for distributors, 48% for theaters and theaters.) George and Lehman were quite satisfied with the idea of ​​how much they could show.

There is no way to be dissatisfied. The rules are there. They are still rules made by a country and cannot be resisted.

But Hollywood has always been dissatisfied with this ratio. By 2012, through a ruling, the share ratio was added to 25% of the total box office revenue.

It's all about selling, don't be too miserable.

And in response to this phenomenon, the concept of "co-production" was also developed.

For example, the Sino-US co-produced "The Great Wall" and the Sino-French co-produced "Wolf Totem", these co-produced films can enjoy the treatment of domestic films if they are released in China, there is no quota restriction, the accounting ratio is reasonable, and even the support of related policies can be enjoyed.

The only point is that the copyright must be assigned to the Chinese side, and the shooting conditions are also very harsh.

If you need to hire foreign creative personnel for joint shooting like this, it must be approved by ****, and the proportion of foreign major actors must not exceed two-thirds of the total number of major actors. After the shooting, the producer needs to send the film. After going to the radio and television department for review and passing the qualification, the Dragon Standard can be obtained for the corresponding screening work.

However, as long as it succeeds, the producer and the distributor will be able to get a share of 43% of the revenue. (I talk about it specifically, but at least the ratio of the introduction of the account is higher. This is also the state encourages this Implement it to reduce the pressure of foreign blockbusters on its own market.)

Every country with a slight right to speak has the means to resist the invasion of the market by Hollywood films.Oh, you said Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Australia. That's okay. The international status is pretty good, but you don't have any idea of ​​being a kid.Yes, just a red card warning, who dares to be presumptuous.

Stains, a bit miserable...

......

"Happy cooperation." Han Cheng offered his hand and said.

After the negotiation, the group was in a very good mood.

"Happy cooperation." Lyman smiled and shook hands.

"If there is no problem, we will be able to arrange screenings in early June before submitting for screening to obtain screening qualifications."

"Yeah, I understand." George also said.

"Let's do it, I wish you all a good time, we still have something to go," Han Cheng said goodbye.

Seeing the people from China Film Group leave, Lehman also sighed, "For the first time, they took the initiative to find."

In other words, Lehman has already made four movies, except for "Three Fools in Bollywood", which was regarded as a batch film, and bought out the distribution rights to China Film, but it has not yet been scheduled to be released. Don’t even think about the "Buried Alive" and "Furious", because the number of places is limited and people look down on them.

"It's a good start." George continued: "Lyman, I'm leaving now. I have to deal with the simultaneous release of "Bad Guy" in France."

"go Go."

George is really enterprising. He rarely sees him running here or there every day when he is free. I don't know if he will be tired.

After thinking about it for a while, Lyman walked along the periphery of the beach.

He didn't call Eva Green over. After all, to deal with official affairs, she would definitely be left out in the cold. Instead of letting her go around the banquet alone, there was no need for that.

The sand is very fine, take off your shoes and step on it is very comfortable.Looking at the pitch-black sea in the distance, and at the carnival people nearby, I did not want to participate inexplicably.

Sometimes it's nice to be alone.

I am enjoying this comfort, but there are always untimely interruptions.

"Director Lyman."

Hearing the greeting, Lyman turned his head and saw Sophie Marceau approaching.

Close, there is a faint fragrance on the body.I don't know what brand of perfume I am using. I can buy a bottle for Eva Green. It smells good.

"Congratulations on your movie for winning the Jury Prize." She is also so polite.

"Thank you." Of course, Lehman did the same.

How can two people who have only met each other get together?You can't chat without being polite.

"I've been to a movie, and it was very good." She continued to find the topic.Since Lyman invited her to make a movie that day, she has been a little concerned.After going to the theater to see the feature film of "Bad Guy", this thought became more and more obvious.

As an actor, I always hope to perform good works, especially for people like her.

"Your schedule hasn't been handed in yet," Lehman asked again.

"No."

"That's right, my script is about to be completed, wait a few days, you can take time to read it."

"OK, all right."

"Oh, yes, what brand of perfume do you use."

"Dior." Sophie Marceau replied with a surprise.

"Thank you." After that, he turned and left again.

Very strange alone.She thought so.
