How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 678: Jiang Wenxu, old monster Ning, nicknamed Xu Zheng, shines in turn

As December 2014 comes to an end, time has come to 12.

After nearly a month of release.

The cumulative box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has exceeded the threshold of 800 million yuan, but its box office trend has also begun to weaken, and the single-day box office has dropped to the level of 2 million yuan.

However, although the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was weak.

But Mr. Xu's status as a director is indeed becoming more and more prosperous.

After all, two of the "Detective Dee" series have a box office of 8.86 million yuan, and one of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has a box office of 5.39 million yuan, plus "Taking Tiger Mountain", which has already exceeded million yuan in box office.

Old Monster Xu's overturning car in "Seven Swords" has been completely supported by the cumulative movie box office of more than 2 billion yuan.

And it has temporarily become the most shining star in the mainland film market.

Correspondingly.

How popular Mr. Xu was two weeks ago, but now the iron triangle of Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo is even more popular than Mr. Xu.

Jiang Wen's situation is much bleaker.

Zhang Nan in the villa is planning to fly to North America.

Then Zhang Nan will have to finalize the "Mission: Impossible 5" project with Tom Cruise.

result.

With a box office of RMB 5.14 million in the first six days, the cumulative box office of "The Road to Love" in a single week directly exceeded the accumulation of "One Step Away" since its release.

Longbow Film and Television City.

Because Kang Pei, the new president of Huaying, is indeed as Zhang Nan predicted.

But at this time, Xu Zheng came to the door.

The box office of "Heart Blossom Road" exploded immediately.

Looking at the weak box office performance of "Take the Tiger Mountain", "The Year in a Hurry" and "One Step Away", and there is no time for the Spring Festival, I directly pushed "The Flowers of the Heart" ahead of schedule. .

After some thought, I chose to accept the rather harsh conditions for cooperation.

1.03 million yuan on the first day.

……

Xu Zheng plans to return to what he is best at first - making comedy films.

The reason is also very simple.

Then, when Mr. Xu was still immersed in the praise and flashlights of the media.

Otherwise, looking at the current mainland film and television industry, a variety of new-generation directors with messy origins and eccentric experiences have emerged, while veteran directors with mostly the same experiences and bleak resumes have emerged.

Then came the next week's 3.18 million yuan, and "The Road to the Heart" directly surpassed "Take the Tiger Mountain" with a box office score of over million yuan.

Although the current "One Step Away" has not yet been released, the box office has basically been locked at the 500 million yuan box office threshold, which is almost the same as the next release.

After the tepid box office success of "Hypnosis Master", and the blockbuster success of "Heart Blossom Road".

What if he rolls over...

It’s not that my career will be ruined immediately. After all, capital is currently very enthusiastic about the mainland film market.

But it’s not hard work either.

"Director Zhang, I want to buy the copyright of the "People on the Road" series."

Xu Zheng was a little uneasy when he said this.

After all, no one in the mainland entertainment circle has ever heard of anyone purchasing the copyright from Zhang Nan.

Of course.

What if we expanded this scope, for example to Hollywood.

There are still examples, but the results are not so wonderful. Disney Pictures spent nearly 500 million US dollars to purchase part of the copyright of "Pirates of the Caribbean" from Zhang Nan, and then...

According to the latest news, Disney Pictures sold the copyright to Zhang Nan for a "high price" of one US dollar.

So Xu Zheng couldn't help but feel uneasy.

But the result was beyond Xu Zheng's expectation.

"sure!"

Zhang Nan gave an affirmative answer.

Because the reason why he wanted to hold on to the copyright of the series "People on the Road" in the first place was to cash out at a high price in the hands of Xu Zheng.

After all, the core of the series "Unfortunately" is Xu Zheng, and it would be unplayable without Xu Zheng.

So Zhang Nan immediately asked: "So how much does Director Xu plan to spend? Or does Director Xu think, how much is the Mainland's first purely domestically produced investment and starring series "A Man on the Road" that has a box office of over 1 billion yuan worth?"

Xu Zheng was stunned, and then fell into silence.

Because Zhang Nan's words describe the value of the "People on the Road" series so well.

Xu Zheng felt that the prices he had prepared before were not enough.

Fortunately, Xu Zheng was also quick-witted. After hearing what Zhang Nan said, he quickly said: "Director Zhang, you are a senior, and your knowledge and vision must be higher than that of a junior like me. If you set a price, I will never talk back."

Retreat to advance?

There was a slightly playful look in Zhang Nan's eyes, and he looked at Xu Zheng, whose head was illuminated by the overhead lamp, and said: "It's too vulgar to talk about money directly, and asking for too much makes me, a senior, not interesting enough. , if you say too little, you, a junior, will inevitably feel that it is not interesting enough.

How about this!
In exchange for the right to share the dividends, I want you to make two subsequent films in the "Journey to the Road" series that will earn 10% of the total box office. How about that? "

The two films directly include "囧 in Hong Kong" and "囧 Mom".

It is almost the most profitable project in the "People on the Road" series.

After all, after "囧Mom", the reputation of "人在囧路" was almost ruined by Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng was stunned again.

Because he didn't expect Zhang Nan to ask such a price, and thought Zhang Nan would quote a very high number.

but……

10% of the total box office is a bonus, which is equivalent to a 25% box office dividend for the producer.

You still don’t have to spend any money to invest, you just earn it for free.

Tell the truth.

Xu Zheng wanted to refuse, but stopped.

Because this amount is right at the edge of the range of conditions that Xu Zheng can accept.

After a long time.

Xu Zhengcai forced a smile and said, "Director Zhang, thank you for your trust in me."

Because Zhang Nan’s conditions for cooperation are purely based on his optimism that Xu Zheng’s follow-up sequel development after obtaining the copyright of “A Journey in Disgrace” will eventually do well at the box office.

"Not only for you, but also for the future development of the mainland film market."

Zhang Nan explained to Xu Zheng, and then continued: "I have to go to North America to help China Film finalize its investment share in [Mission: Impossible 5].

The appointment with Tom Cruise is at noon tomorrow, so I can’t miss the flight even though I have a private plane, but I can’t change the time. I really don’t have much time now.

[People on the Road] A detailed copyright contract has been signed. You can wait for me to come back to sign it, or you can directly talk to the person in charge of Changgong Film City in the mainland, and I will say hello there. "

Finished.

Zhang Nan had already climbed into the luxurious extended-length Rolls-Royce, closed the door and walked away.

Only Xu Zheng, who was a little regretful, was left on the spot and said: "Director Zhang was so anxious, I should have held on a little longer just now."
