Chapter 254 Box Office and Global Accounts (Please subscribe!)

Late at night, after the security personnel dispersed most of the media, Xiangyang and the others were able to come out of the song and dance theater.

The moment they got into the car driven by Zhao Xin, they finally felt at ease.

"Yangyang, be careful what you say in the future. You and Qianqian are different when you first got together, and now there are many people staring at you."

Liu Xiaoli, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around.

"Yes, Auntie, I know." Xiangyang replied.

"Call your parents and reassure them too."

"Okay, Auntie."

Back at Liu Qianqian's home, Liu Xiaoli asked the two of them to take a rest early and not pay too much attention to things online.

In fact, there is no so-called winner in this kind of online quarrel.To some extent, it is a "lose-lose" situation for the public figures involved.

Fans may seem like a large group, but they are actually only a part of the huge group of netizens.

So what if I win the scolding online?

It may take a lot of works for passers-by to like a star, but it may be possible to hate him from the bottom of their hearts just because of a word from his fans.

"Forget it, don't think about it too much."

"Ah."

"Xiang Yang, go take a shower quickly, okay? I'll go after you finish."

"Ah."

The next day, before the debate on the Internet had subsided, Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian set out early in the morning for the meeting place agreed with Cheng Long and Han Sanping.

On the north side of Guijie Street in Shangjing, the NAGA Upper Courtyard is located around the only 30000-square-meter waterscape park within the Second Ring Road. Not only are the famous ancient buildings in Shangjing such as the Lama Temple, the Imperial College, and the Confucius Temple, it is also within easy reach of the famous Luo Family Courtyard. .

Speaking of luxury homes, Liu Qianqian's home in Shangjing is quite big, while Cheng Long's mansion in Shangjing is in a really luxurious location.

It is related to this mansion because in 2006, Cheng Long was the spokesperson of the NAGA House of Lords and deducted most of the expenses through endorsement fees. He only paid 1300 million soft sister coins to get the property in Building 2. Rooms 1001 and 1002.

At the end of December 2007, after about a year of renovation, he moved in here.

After passing the outermost and innermost security halls, Xiangyang and Liu Qianqian arrived at the parking lot of Cheng Long's house in Building 2.

Before the two of them got out of the car and took in the scenery inside the entire NAGA upper courtyard, a man in a Tang suit who was not tall but had broad and thick shoulders walked out of the gatehouse facing them.

Seeing Cheng Long's iconic hairstyle and big nose, Xiang Yang suddenly thought of his later online joke "duang".

Cheng Long, who was smiling and welcoming, had no airs. He looked at the two people in front of him and opened his arms enthusiastically, "Sissi, Xiaoxiang, you are finally here."

"Brother Cheng Long"

"Hello, Mr. Cheng Long."

Unlike Liu Qianqian, who greeted Cheng Long with bright eyes and white teeth, Xiang Yang addressed Cheng Long in a neutral way. After all, he was not from the entertainment industry.

After greeting Liu Qianqian, Cheng Long patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder out of habit and said with a smile, "Young man is very tall."

"It's really a pity not to see you in Los Angeles." Xiang Yang smiled.

Cheng Long didn't pay attention to the premiere of "Midnight in Paris" at all. If Anna Wintour could invite him to attend, then he wouldn't have to make an action movie.

After casually waving his hands and saying that this was just a trivial matter, Cheng Long couldn't help but look at the two young people in front of him.

Before you know it, Liu Qianqian will soon have another movie with a global box office of over [-] million US dollars.

The first part is, of course, "The King of Kung Fu" with him, and the second part
What I have to say is that the box office appeal of the movie "Midnight in Paris" is really strong.

Since its release in North America for more than a week, it has topped the list with a weekend box office of US$2600 million.

In fact, the weekend box office of more than 2600 million yuan may not be a big deal in the first half of the year. After all, there were many blockbusters released in 2009.

2月份的《黑色星期五》拿到了4000万的周末票房，3月份的《守护者》拿到了5500万的周末票房，4月份的《玩命关头4》拿到了7000多万的周末票房，还有5月份六月份的《X战警前传：金刚狼》、《星际迷航》、《变形金钢：复仇之战》接连拔高了2009年周末票房的高度。

But "Midnight in Paris" is different. Midnight in Paris is a surrealistic literary film, and its release schedule is also famously off-season in North America.

In addition, the film performed very strongly at the European box office.

In just over a week since its release in France, it has earned a box office of 1120 million, which is more than three times that of No. 2 in the same period.

If this continues, "Midnight in Paris" may become Hollywood's highest-grossing film in Europe this year.It also has a very big advantage over other films, that is, as word-of-mouth ferments, it is highly watchable.

It is also very suitable for couples to watch together.

"Maybe the final box office can reach 2 million US dollars." Cheng Long thought about it in his mind and couldn't help but sigh.

他当演员这么久，上2亿美金票房的影片只有《尖峰时刻》系列，分别是2.45亿、3.47亿、2.55亿，另外一个系列《沪上正午》1、2累计加在一起才1.8亿美金。

Although Liu Qianqian is a supporting role in the film, her role is outstanding and has been highly discussed in Europe and the United States.

So, thinking to himself, Cheng Long raised his hand with a smile and motioned to the two of them: "We've seen each other, come on, come in quickly, Master Han is waiting for you inside."

"Master Han has arrived."

Liu Qianqian exclaimed and quickly held Xiang Yang's hand.

Unlike Xiang Yang, she knew Han Sanping's influence in the Chinese film and television industry. Yesterday, she gave Xiang Yang a lot of knowledge about the Chinese entertainment industry.

But she was worried that Xiangyang wouldn't listen. After all, this guy sometimes didn't care about things he didn't care about.

"Originally, Mr. Han also said he would come out to greet you two, but I don't think it's appropriate."

When walking up the steps, Cheng Long gave Liu Qianqian a hint.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng Long." Liu Qianqian narrowed her eyes and smiled.

As soon as they entered the door, sure enough, a middle-aged man with short hair and a Chinese character in casual clothes looked at Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian who walked in with a smile on his face, "Xiao Liu and Xiao Xiang, please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly."

"Master Han."

"Hello, Mr. Han." Even though she was a little reserved when she was so enthusiastic, Liu Qianqian still said hello with a smile, and Xiang Yang responded with a smile.

A few people quickly sat in the large living room of Cheng Long's mansion. A nanny who had been taking care of the two mansions put tea for them and left quietly.

"Xiao Xiang, Xiao Liu, how have you been feeling these past few days back home?" Han Sanping asked after several people took a sip of tea.

Xiang Yang put the tea on the tip of his nose, smelled it, and said with a smile, "It's very good. I went to Dali with Sissi."

"Yeah." Liu Qianqian responded.

"The part that Xiao Liu posted online was written by Xiao Xiang, right?"

"Sentimentally."

Regarding this matter, Xiang Yang had no intention of hiding it. He even found the original singer of the song. If it hadn't been for an accident yesterday,
"What a pity," Han Sanping sighed after hearing this.

If such words and phrases were used in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", it would definitely be a plus.

Perhaps he felt that missing these lines was the same as missing Liu Qianqian's participation in the movie. It was just a regret but there was no need to regret it. Han Sanping said with a smile:

"We will cooperate more if we have opportunities in the future."

After Xiang Yang heard this, he turned his attention to Liu Qianqian and smiled, using the same words as yesterday, "Mr. Han, Mr. Cheng Long, there is something that Qianqian and I wanted to express to you today.

Sissi and I are preparing. After all, my parents are old. "

"Oh, so fast?" Han Sanping was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about it.

Liu Qianqian felt a little shy when she mentioned this.

Which young girl would not be shy when discussing this topic?
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Although doing this will miss a good opportunity to film with Brother Cheng Long, Liu Qianqian has always felt that what Xiang Yang said is reasonable, and she also agrees with what some netizens said yesterday when they compared her with Brother Xun.

It is true that she does not have any masterpieces or awards in movies like Brother Xun.

This kind of thing cannot be made up for in a short time.But if her acting skills don't improve, even if Xiangyang can help her find many Hollywood and even domestic scripts for her to choose from, it will be in vain.

She still wanted to calm down and take some time to calm down.

If it's a guest role or an unimportant supporting role, she can give it a try, but participating as a starring role will take up too much time for her to study.

Seeing Liu Qianqian's statement, Han Sanping felt relieved.

Things like cooperation are not impossible until a few years later.

Cheng Long looked at Xiang Yang with interest, thinking that it was no wonder that this young man seemed to be in good spirits, but walked lightly, but that was not surprising.

I guess everyone who marries Liu Qianqian is like this.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't have much push for this matter, and it was a major life event for the young couple.

After some blessings, Han Sanping changed the topic in order not to be silent.

Although Xiang Yang was not in the same circle as them, there was still something to talk about.

"Xiao Xiang, what's going on with your Hermès film investment? Let's talk about it." Looking at Xiang Yang, Han Sanping asked with a smile: "Also, I saw reports on the Internet that you spent a lot of money to sponsor the British TV station to film "Downton". manor"."

Cheng Long originally had the mentality of arranging Liu Qianqian to be his second partner.

Hearing that Han Sanping brought the topic here, he felt slightly disappointed but also became curious, and cast his eyes on Xiang Yang.

"Mr. Han, in fact, our attempts at Hermès in movies are not as big as you think."

Xiang Yang said with a smile.

"Oh? Didn't I say that you invested 1000 million pounds? This is not a small number." Han Sanping said half-jokingly.

1000 million pounds is indeed a lot. Their total investment in the film with Columbia Pictures was only 4400 million, and only 500 million was allocated to China Film.

1000 million pounds is not much for Hermès.

But the key point is that until the producer of "Midnight in Paris" doesn't get the money back, there will be only expenditures on the books but no money back.

So in this regard, Xiang Yang had no choice but to say: "Our investment model here at Hermès may be different from yours. For example, for "Midnight in Paris", because before the investment, we did not expect it to achieve such results, so in In terms of share of the total box office, we want a very small share.”

"What's your share of the total box office?" Han Sanping's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Jackie Chan also noticed that this seemed to be different from what Han Sanping revealed to him about the cooperation between China Film and Columbia.

"Yes, our investments on Hermès are all required to be split based on the total global box office." Xiang Yang nodded, looked at Cheng Long and smiled: "Cheng Long. Brother Cheng Long should know that Hollywood The studios over there are all human beings, and Hollywood actors are now demanding more and more of their box office share. So..."

"That's true." Cheng Long nodded to Han Sanping.

Hearing what Xiang Yang said, Han Sanping frowned.

In the cooperation that he was negotiating with Columbia Pictures on behalf of China Film Company, the other party mentioned the suggestion of global accounting.But I feel that China's box office will be better with Cheng Long joining.

However, even the investment of a luxury brand is more concerned about the global box office split, so is it right?
When he was wondering, Xiang Yang smiled and said:

"Actually, Mr. Han, this is the same as designers working for international brands getting commission from the entire product line. After all, we are a team. Who can guarantee that what we sell next year will be a hit, right? ?”

Listening to Xiang Yang's words, Han Sanping remained silent.

After thinking about it for a moment, he realized what had blinded him.

Although he is very optimistic about the future box office of the Chinese film market, reaching the goal of 200 billion is not limited to the quality of the film, but also depends on many other complex aspects such as the number of new moviegoers added to the market every year.

As for China Film's cooperation model with overseas film producers, it has always adopted the method of "dividing regional distribution rights."

This is a kind of insurance, and it has also brought many successful experiences to Huaying.

But Han Sanping, who is determined to make China Film International become an international company and cultivate Chinese film and television talents by cooperating with foreign producers to produce Chinese films or films with Chinese elements, feels that sitting in this position, he wants to surpass his predecessor. It’s not that you should dare to try, explore and explore.

After all, it would not be in line with myself and Huaying's ambition to continue following the path of our predecessors.

This is the 60th anniversary of Daqing. Can I see the next 10 years of Daqing from this position?
but if it fails
"Xiao Xiang, if our Huaying can give us some shares, would you Hermès be willing to participate in the investment?"

"what!!!"

　"Kung Fu Dream" finally ended in North America with US$1.7 million. According to authoritative statistics, as of July 2010, the global box office revenue of "Kung Fu Dream" has exceeded 7 billion.And his box office in China was only 16.35 million.Forget it, China Film Group, which has followed the old path, suffered a big loss in this regard.
