Superstar starts from the Film and Television Academy

Chris looked bad and gritted his teeth, "Mr. Han Fei, can you hold off on making a decision, I'll make a phone call to the boss first."

Chapter 428 - Overseas Big Bang.

"Sure, you can go to my office." Han Fei made a gesture to help himself, and it wasn't him who was in a hurry at this point.

John clearly wasn't optimistic about what Chris could get out of a phone call, and continued to persuade him, "Actually, I don't think there's any point in waiting any longer, other companies may be less expensive than us, but we're the best fit for you at Lionsgate."

"Why don't you give Chris a little more time? Maybe there will be a miracle?" Hanfei shrugged, half joking.

John shook his head seemingly sarcastically, "Miracle? No, I don't believe in miracles."

Almost half an hour later, Chris returned, but it was clear that he didn't look relaxed and his forehead was covered in fine sweat.

"Sorry for the wait, maybe, we can talk again?" Chris spoke with a voice, but it was confident.

Han Fei came in a mood, "Okay, no problem."

"As a matter of fact, as far as I know, Lionsgate charges distribution fees outside of Hollywood based on a 28 split, and it also requires a certain deposit from the producers, and if the box office revenue doesn't cover the distribution fees, that deposit won't be returned, whereas the split we can give is 37, plus no deposit."

As soon as Chris finished speaking, John's face changed, and he was about to speak when he heard Chris say, "And we'll open up the peripheral revenue to be split with you, such as DVD and Internet and TV licensing fees, and we can give you 40 percent of that percentage."

"Are you crazy?" John blew up and growled at Chris, never to have the same calmness he had before.

This time it was Chris instead who stared at him coldly, "It's better to be crazy than to die right away!"

"It's unbelievable, do you know what you're doing? You broke the rules and you'll be spat upon, asshole!"

In fact, John didn't really care if the deal would be done or not, it would be nothing more than an extra profit for the company and a bonus for him, but Chris's rule-breaking behavior would most likely give hope to other Chinese film companies.

Once Han Fei made a large amount of revenue from it, could other film companies not be jealous? To all the Hollywood studios, the world's movie markets are their box office, and as for trying to make money from the North American market? Dream on, even if there are films that do attract North American audiences, as long as they control the distribution channels, only the distributors will make money in the end, and as for the producers? Just give them a couple of dates and they're done. They used to do that all the time, didn't they?

John suddenly regretted coming to Warsaw, and it was clear that he had become the last straw that broke Chris's and the Boss's heart.

If he had seen "Wandering Earth" before, John would not hesitate to launch this meaningless battle for distribution rights, and would even reach a private settlement with Chris to exert pressure on Han Fei together.

However, some images of "Wandering Planet" still come to mind, and it's clear that this movie is worth making some concessions, which is why Chris will recklessly throw out so many attractive conditions.

"Sorry, and please give me a moment, I need to talk to Boss." John took a deep breath and gave Chris a fierce glare before leaving.

For the past half an hour, Chris had been trying to convince Han Fei to sign a contract with him: "In fact, Lionsgate couldn't possibly offer a more favorable policy than ours, you know, they don't make money from independent film distribution anymore, you guys are competitors, only we will wholeheartedly help you develop the North American film market."

"Mr. Chris, don't get excited, I already know your company's sincerity, but since Mr. John, who has come all the way over here, I naturally have to give him a chance, don't I?" Han Fei's attitude towards Chris was also much gentler, and this foreigner finally showed some sincerity.

A quarter of an hour later, John returned and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Mr. Han Fei, I'm sorry that the company didn't agree to my proposal, but I still hope that you can trust us with the North American distribution agency of [Wandering Earth]."

"I'm sorry, Mr. John, I'm afraid there's no way I can promise you that." Han Fei could only make an apologetic gesture at him, and then extended his hand to Chris.

Facing the right hand extended by Han Fei in front of him, Chris couldn't be happy at all, and even felt a sense of frustration, yet it was done, and he could only accept it.

"Mr. John, it's not far to come, so why don't you take a stroll around the capital, and I'll arrange a professional guide to show you the oriental culture." Before sending John away, Han Fei extended the invitation.

In fact, this is also Han Fei prevented Chris a hand, you know the previous Chinese film in this regard is a big loss, for example, the national teacher's hero by Miramax company to 23 million U.S. dollars to buy all the rights of the North American distribution, however, in fact, Miramax company did not fully pay the money, and "hero" back then was ready to hit the Oscar, as a result of Miramax company at that time on hand a pile of shock Oscar film, "hero" was so abandoned, so that only two years later in North America officially released.

The strategy they adopted was to squeeze out the competition with high prices, and then they were free to take on Wachovia's producers.

"Sure, I'm happy to do it." There were bargains to be made, and in fact it proved to be applicable to Crooked Man as well.

In the next few days, Han Fei began to lead the legal team to negotiate with Chris, in fact, the licensing agency contract is not complicated, does not need such a big battle, but after all, the laws of the rice country is different from Warsaw, it is really the Warsaw people have suffered too much in this area, Han Fei naturally have to guard a hand.

In the end, the agreement was signed, Chris took his secretary and the legal affairs hurriedly returned to China, time is extremely precious to everyone.

Soon, "Wandering Earth" began to be widely released in Southeast Asian countries, the response was extremely enthusiastic, these years Huaxia is gradually becoming stronger, but there are still many disputes, and "Wandering Earth" also let many Southeast Asian countries to see Huaxia's science and technology. Epitome.

Many people even believe that the so-called Area 51 is hiding the alien black technology developed by MiG.

Of course, all these are just a small fuss, but the real concern of the netizens about the overseas box office of "Wandering Earth" is the explosion of "Wandering Earth" in the Korean market.

In just one month after its release, the box office of "Wandering Earth" has exceeded 3 billion won, which is equivalent to more than 17 million yuan, although it does not seem to be much, but we should know that it has broken the Korean box office record.

Just as the netizens were jumping for joy, there was an even stronger news, "Wandering Earth" has quietly landed in Japan.

Chapter 429, Icebreaker.

As a matter of fact, the Japanese distributors have been promoting the film for a long time, and the reason they have waited until now is that they are waiting for the news of the Korean box office explosion.

Japan and South Korea were also considered a pair of old enemies, and they had a lot of obsessive operations with each other, but in the field of culture, the connection between the two sides was still very deep, er ...... To be precise, they should despise each other.

In short, a movie that is a box office hit in Korea, Japanese audiences have a critical desire to see it, and then after seeing it, they make fun of it on social media: "What a stupid movie, that's all it is, Korean audiences really haven't seen anything.

In fact, there were quite a few people who went to the theater with this kind of mentality, and then, when the first scene ended, many Japanese audiences walked out of the theater in a bit of a trance.

The impact of "Wandering Earth" to them is actually far more intense than many Chinese audiences, because in Japan, geological disasters have never broken, four or five magnitude earthquakes almost every once in a while, the people are even used to it.

So they are very fond of this kind of disaster film, and "Wandering Earth" is the ultimate in creativity, graphics and special effects.

I have to mention the Japanese distributors, they invited influential Japanese voice actors to dub the main characters in the drama, many Japanese audiences even once thought that this film was made in Japan.

Here it is necessary to mention, "wandering earth" in southeast Asia can be a good box office performance, there is another interesting thing, because southeast Asia's Asian people look alike, plus most of the time are wearing helmets, it is also difficult to find subtle differences.

So when the countries are promoting, they are intentionally or unintentionally blurring their true identities, making many viewers think at one point that these are their own people, and the sense of belonging is overwhelming, and as for being revealed again after seeing them, it's just a pity, who made their own film that couldn't be so good?

At the same time, their counterparts in other countries are also aware of the disparity between the two sides, especially in Japan and South Korea, which are big exporters of culture, and Korean films, needless to say, have always been known for their ability to expose scandals. It was like being paralyzed from the essence.

How do I say this feeling? It's like the reaction of many film directors in China after seeing "Avatar", they were all dumbfounded.

In fact, we all know the gap between the local film industry and Hollywood, but they have been lying to themselves and, incidentally, to the audience, as long as the content is shot well, special effects are not important, but really unimportant?

Once the "Wandering Earth" type of plot and content are extreme film, it is equivalent to a headbutt, as to whether it was hit by a stick to be confused, or to be woke up is entirely a personal quality.

"Wandering Earth" was released in Japan for a month and a half, the total box office of 31 billion yen, equivalent to about 2 billion yuan, can be said to be a pretty terrible achievement, and also broke the original 30.8 billion yen box office record.

According to the previous sharing agreement, Han Fei can share about 500 million RMB in revenue from the Japanese market alone, but only before taxes, of course.

Successively breaking box office records in Japan and South Korea, Chinese netizens are simply cracking up, as if the money will eventually go into their pockets as happy, of course, this kind of glory for the country, but also really worthy of netizens for Han Fei bragging about a wave.

After all these years, no Chinese film has been able to do this, the so-called cultural export, cultural identity is from a little bit.

The most happy ones are naturally the leaders, and Han Fei's previous application was the one he fought for with his superiors with the script, what is this called? It may be an exaggeration to say that we are discerning, but it is not unreasonable to say that we are committed to doing practical work and escorting the export of Chinese culture, right?

Eventually, the higher-ups are now a little more enthusiastic about his attitude, the words are for him to keep up the good work, ready to meet new challenges cloud, could it be that this is to transfer the work?

In other good news, "Stray Earth" has been nominated for seven Golden Rooster Awards, including Best Director, Best Picture and Best Cinematography, but they are all nominated in the technical categories and not in the actor category, which is understandable. The special effects are just too outstanding, and the actors' acting is little more than a highlight.

After a few years, once again nominated for the Golden Rooster Award, the main team is naturally quite happy, these two and a half years, we have not slept a good day, the return on the box office is only part of the award is equivalent to the spiritual recognition, which is very important.

After the Japanese box office down painting, Han Fei calculated an account, "Wandering Earth" investment of 1.02 billion, the mainland box office has returned, and also earned about two billion, if you look at it this way, not as much as Han Fei's previous earnings, but if you count the overseas box office is different, just Southeast Asia around the box office revenue of 700 million, followed by the It's not yet released in North America, and joining the operation well, it's going to be a huge money maker.

Not only is Han Fei in the calculation of this account, various film companies are also in the calculation of this account, originally we believe that one billion investment risk is too big, investment is not proportional to the income, now it seems, this income ratio seems not low ah.
