Superstar starts from the Film and Television Academy

Big Star Star Starts at Film Academy Chapter 294

But Chris shook his head, "Maybe you can greet them first, I, there's no rush."

Han Fei cursed in his heart, this guy was no saver at first glance, if ordinary people reckoned to hear him say that, they would have thought he wasn't interested in this film.

"Well then, perhaps, you can make an appointment with my assistant tomorrow and we can have a single chat." Han Fei was apparently motionless, and after saying that, he turned around and left.

Chris' face was a bit stiff, he didn't expect that Han Fei would actually treat him this way, did the other party have any other choice but him?

Back at the hotel, Chris asked his secretary to find all of Han Fei's information, before he came, he had only heard that a phenomenal movie had come out of Warsaw, and he knew nothing about what the movie was really like, or the team behind it.

But after seeing this movie, he felt he needed to know more about the team and the core of the team, the young man named Han Fei, yes, that's how the Huaxia people seemed to pronounce their names, it was too buzzwordy.

But after flipping through the file, Chris realized that he seemed to have underestimated that guy, in the rice country, young people who could start from scratch in just a few years were usually called geniuses, while those who could accumulate billions of US dollars of wealth in a few years would be called super geniuses.

Obviously, this Han Fei was a super genius, this young man was different from all the Chinese people he had come across before, he never seemed to care about the rules of the film and television industry and was always breaking people's perceptions of him.

"No, Huaxia people have always liked to brag, this information must be fake, I'm crazy, right? I can't believe you believe that. This is ridiculous." Chris dropped the information he was holding on the floor.

"Boss, do you need an appointment with him for you tomorrow?" The secretary bent over to pick up the papers.

Chris couldn't hold back, "No, he's going to ask me out, and believe me, I'm the only one who comes to this desert for gold."

The secretary stiffened ......

On the other hand, Han Fei had reached an agreement with some distributors in Southeast Asia to sell them the license of "Wandering Earth" in their countries at a price acceptable to both parties.

In other words, in addition to the broadcast rights, there are other DVD and other revenue also all belong to them, some loss, but Han Fei's real purpose is to open up the market, have to give people some sweetness, they will be willing to help you work, right?

But the good news is that, although the price is not high, the numbers are still quite large, and the wave sold 130 million, better than nothing.

The next is South Korea and Japan, although Japan's economy has been in recession, but the Japanese film market has been a pretty good ticket warehouse, the 1980s and 1990s, the Japanese market has always been the object of dumping of Hong Kong movies, until later Hollywood movies began to globalization strategy, the Japanese market has become Hollywood ticket warehouse.

As for the Korean film market is similar, but the Korean market is more conservative, and even once enacted a bill banning the screening of foreign films, and only in recent years began to gradually open up, but these years the Chinese film and television companies have seen the mainland box office market is gradually booming, the press did not cultivate this market.

The company's distributor in South Korea is very straightforward, they don't offer a share option, they only offer a buyout price.

It is clear that the other party wants to make a profit on DVDs, webcasts and other peripherals.

The Japanese distributor also wanted to buy out the Korean distributor as well, but was rejected by Han Fei, because Japan is an open market and you are not the only company that can distribute.

After a few days of consideration, the Japanese publisher signed a contract for 37 percent of the purchase price, which is 3 percent of the purchase price.

And yet, Chris, who was expected to have high hopes, didn't actively seek himself out, which made Han Fei a bit nerve-wracking.

"This guy, by the looks of it, is harder to deal with than I thought!"

Chapter 427 - People, eventually, have to pay for their arrogance.

Chris was having that comfortable few days, something secretary to do ....... Ahem, after another double activity, the secretary casually asked, "You've been hanging him out for a few days, do you really not need to take time to see him? Or do you not want his North American release?"

Chris smiled proudly, "Nonono, why wouldn't I want that? If nothing else, this movie is going to make me rich, you know, it's going to be a fortune."

"So you're still hanging him out to dry?" The secretary grew more and more confused.

"Baby, you don't understand, it's called business strategy, the money is mine and only mine, a guy from a movie desert doesn't deserve to share the profits with me, all you have to do is give them a tiny bit of profit and they'll be overjoyed because in their eyes it's all extra income, let me think, what kind of buyout price would be better to offer them? Three hundred thousand dollars? Or four hundred thousand American dollars?"

"Oh, you're so bad."

At that moment, the phone rang and Chris smugly patted the secretary, who went to get it.

Chris smiled smugly at his secretary, "See? I told you he'd be here for me, slow to pick up, yes, a little patience, anxious for them."

The secretary snuggled into him and answered the phone, the smile on her face immediately fell and Chris asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you, baby?"

"David, need to talk to you on the phone." The secretary reached out and handed him the phone.

At the sound of David's name, Chris was nonplussed, this was his biggest investor, in other words, the other guy was his boss, but why would his boss be calling him now? With apprehension, I answered, "Hey, BOSS ......."

A high-pitched voice on the other end of the phone, splitting his face, "You son of a bitch, yes, that's you, you bastard, can you tell me what else you've done in the last few days out interacting with that slut?"

"Uh ..... ...Boss, what happened?" Chris was scolded.

David paced back and forth, "Chris, you bastard, listen up, I sent you to Warsaw to work, not to steal from your wife's surveillance to steal with your secretary, understand? You better get me the North American distribution rights to [Wandering Earth] or you're fucking finished and I'll leave you with nothing, you understand me asshole?"

After venting, David revealed another piece of news, "Lionsgate Pictures has sent someone to Warsaw, you should know what that means, that greedy lion won't let go of any piece of fat meat, there's not much time left for you."

Chris listened to the busy voice on the phone, his whole body was confused, of course he knew what kind of company Lionsgate was, apart from the existing six Hollywood giants, Lionsgate was the company with the most potential to be promoted to the seventh largest, and this company, which started out by distributing independent films.

In comparison, the so-called Race Point Digital Group was nothing compared to the other side, and to put it bluntly, they were now following the same path that Lionsgate Pictures had taken before.

"Quick, call for a meeting with that guy for me, that's right, that Han Fei, oh hell that name is so damn convoluted, remember not to let them find out about your eagerness." Chris still had illusions about this, what if the other guy didn't know about Lionsgate Studios? As long as he got the rights in advance, all the previous mistakes the investors would forgive.

"Oh, NO, they said they don't have time to see you at the moment."

Chris was so confused that he pushed the secretary away, picked up the phone and dialed the number on the business card, but the person who answered the phone was a woman who hung up as soon as she heard his name.

"This ....... what are we going to do?" The secretary looked a little apprehensively at Chris, who was turning red.

Chris growled furiously, "What else can we do? Go to his office, I want to see that bastard immediately, immediately, he must have heard something."

When he arrived at "Bird TV", the lady at the front desk received him politely, however, half an hour passed and Chris didn't see Han Fei, after asking the front desk, he learned that Han Fei was still in a meeting.

Chris waited for another hour, but this time he really couldn't wait any longer, so he barged straight into the meeting room.

Chris originally planned to rush over and make this guy give him an explanation, but after seeing the guy next to Han Fei, he was struck by lightning, and yes, this guy was from Lionsgate's North American distribution department.

The other guy didn't seem too surprised to see Chris, instead he greeted him generously, "Hi Chris, God bless, I didn't expect to see you here, it's so delightful."

"Really? I'm not at all happy to see you." Chris squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

Han Fei smiled and explained, "Mr. Chris, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but I was just accompanying Mr. John to the movies ...... Since both of you happen to be here, why don't we go to the conference room together and have a chat?"

"Of course, I'm good friends with Chris, oh no, he's my mascot to be exact, because he always makes me money where he shows up, right?" John clearly had a chest full of them.

Chris was livid, "No, not this time."

"Wait and see?"

Han Fei led the two of them to the conference room, John got straight to the point, "Mr. Han Fei, you should know the strength of Lionsgate Pictures, we have the ability to distribute this [Wandering Earth] throughout the U.S. Of course, this Mr. Chris has the ability to do that as well, but apparently he can only get half of our screens."

Chris eagerly interrupted, "True, but you guys also have the most expensive distribution costs in the world, bar none, man, why don't you guys go rob it? The money comes faster that way."

"Believe me, our distribution costs are less than half of what they are, and even if, initially, we don't get that many screens, if the film is good enough and the attendance is high enough, the theater will add more screens, man, no one has a problem with money, right?"

Han Fei's heart lamented, if this guy had shown such sincerity in the beginning, he would have agreed, but after introducing Lions Gate Pictures, Han Fei had an additional choice, why not get more for himself?

John didn't get angry at Chris's sarcasm, but smiled and said: "Yes, as you said, as long as the film is good enough, we can also apply for more screens from the cinema, as far as I know, Mr. Han Fei's purpose should not only be to sell this film, but also to open up the North American distribution channels, believe me, Lionsgate is definitely your best choice! ."

Han Fei was quite impressed, and it was clear that John's words had moved him.
