Chapter 174 "Pirates" Global Drawing

"An Ning is good at giving sex."

After saying goodbye to Bae Dou Na's mother, Jiang Liu and Son Ye Jin left hand in hand.

Walking on the asphalt road away from the Pei family villa, Son Ye-jin tilted her head and sighed to Jiang Liu: "Oh...it turns out that Sister Dou Na lives in Gangnam District, which is the most prosperous area in South Korea."

Jiang Liu nodded in agreement.

Gangnam District is a well-known wealthy area in South Korea with complete infrastructure, including high-end residences, entertainment venues, shopping malls, etc.

"Where is your home?" Jiang Liu asked as he had nothing to say.

"My family lives in Daegu City." Son Yejin closed the distance between the two of them, stood side by side, and asked curiously: "What about you, Director Jiang, where is your home in China? The capital, the magic city?"

"No, a small city you haven't heard of."

"Yeah, I told you my home address, but Director Jiang also had to tell me, what's my name?" Son Yejin asked angrily and couldn't wait to ask.

"Jiangdu."

Jiang Liu glanced at Sun Yizhen.

He is a veteran in love.

In his eyes, the various signs Son Ye Jin showed at this moment seemed to be the bud of love born in his heart.

A girl couldn't wait to inquire about a man's life experience and family.

Being willing to walk side by side with a man, smiling sweetly and flipping her hair from time to time shows that the girl is using body movements and language to express her interest in the man in front of her.

Jiang Liu followed his heart and based on his psychological age, he didn't really want to develop a cross-border relationship with Son Ye-jin.

He was a practical man who believed that life was best as it was at home.

He put most of his emotions on Li Xing, and occasionally had sex with Qin Lan. When he had the opportunity, he fell in love with Fan Binbin, Chen Hao, Jia Jingwen and others.

He had never thought about falling in love with someone as he should at this age.

The acquaintance with Son Ye-jin was an accident, and she was naturally attracted to her after meeting her. After all, the other party has the name of Sun Xian, so what is the name of a person who is looking for beauty but not hunting for beauty?

But his temptation is just to develop a friendship between super friends for a period of time.

To put it bluntly, everyone has a deeper understanding of each other, each gets what he needs, each goes to his own home, and does not disturb each other. Even if there is cooperation in the future, it will only be a relationship between colleagues.

But God is not as good as man, and Son Ye-jin was well protected by Kim Min-sook.

Even a few years after her debut, she is still like an innocent little girl, looking forward to developing a sweet love worth remembering.

Jiang Liu felt very sad. He had clearly done it all in one shot, but the result was such trouble, and it might even lead to the breakdown of the family he had worked so hard to build.

"Ah, a car is coming, Director Jiang, I'm going back first."

Jiang Liu was awakened by the lights of the taxi: "Okay."

"I have time to visit the crew."

"welcome any time."

"Yeah, that guy wants to give me his cell phone number."

After adding each other's mobile phone numbers, Son Yejin smiled and waved to get in the car, while Jiang Liu stopped another car in a depressed mood.

In July, Son Ye-jin frequently visited the cast of "Monster" and walked quietly.

It was only halfway through August when Tom Bernard came to Korea.

Ya's face has been full of joy in recent months, and her smile is almost crooked.

After he purchased the overseas copyright of "Pirates" from Yixin, he used Colombia's strong overseas distribution power to promote "Pirates" to the film market in 25 countries.

In North America, "Pirates" took advantage of the publicity of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the gimmicks of Eastern pirate and ocean adventure movies, earning a box office of US$2900 million.

I heard that the video copyright alone allowed Colombia to recover US$500 million in copyright fees.

After "Pirates" was released in the European market at the 56th Cannes Film Festival, it sold more than 10 million US dollars in more than 900 European countries including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

When "Pirates" was released in South Korea at the end of July, the number of viewers was 503 million, which translated into more than 2500 million US dollars.

The box office of "Pirates" in Japan was not as good as that of South Korea, and not as good as "Heroes" which exceeded US$3000 million, but it still made more than US$1700 million.

Among the more than 20 countries where "Pirates" has landed, Japanese audiences are the only ones who have not criticized the inclusion of animated clips in the film.

Sony Columbia originally regarded Japan as the other largest ticket warehouse outside of North America, and put all its efforts into distribution and promotion. Unexpectedly, South Korea jumped out midway, and eventually became the hidden largest ticket warehouse after North America. Samsung Entertainment, the publisher, also responded quickly, and later spared no effort to invite Jiang Liu, Sha Yi, and Qin Lan to Korea for promotion.

It was not until "Pirates" followed "Memories of Murder" that it exceeded the 500 million mark of moviegoers, making it the Chinese movie with the most moviegoers since Korean movies recorded box office data.

In addition, the box office performance of "Pirates" in other small Asian countries such as Singapore was also satisfactory.

Each small country's US$30 or US$50 adds up to around 400 million US dollars.

Colombia made a fortune from "Pirates."

After deducting the promotion fees, sharing fees, etc. from issuers in more than 20 countries, the exact amount of money earned is unknown.

But the box office revenue of tens of millions of dollars alone was enough for Columbia Pictures and Bernard to throw a rave party for it.

Colombia is partying, but Hong Kong's Emperor Corporation is bleeding.

After Emperor purchased the Hong Kong and Taiwan rights to "Pirates", it attached great importance to "Pirates", the only mainland film with a box office exceeding [-] million yuan, and worked very hard on promotion and distribution.

But it was only four days after "Pirates" was released in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The number of people suffering from colds increased and the situation became serious. The film had to be canceled and the King vomited a mouthful of old blood.

In Hanjiang Park, Jiang Liu had just finished filming a big scene in which a monster chased a crowd. Bernard opened his arms from a distance and rushed up: "Hi, Jiang, you are my closest and best friend."

Jiang Liupi said with a smile: "Is that so? Then my next film will adopt a box office sharing cooperation model with Colombia?"

"Nonono, I can't decide how to cooperate. I also said that you won't be willing to adopt a share-sharing model. So, what kind of movie are you making?"

"Monster movie, like Alien."

Bernard exaggerated: "Genre film? It's great. Colombia and I are extremely interested in it."

"'Pirates' has grossed more than 7000 million US dollars at the box office outside China through your operation. Of course you are very interested in my fourth film. The key is, why should I cooperate with Colombia?"

"Jiang, you have the ability to say this now. After Colombia watches the film, it will give you and your investors a satisfactory price."

Jiang Liu looked at Li Meijing and saw her shaking her head. He probably planned to contact other Hollywood studios at that time. After all, CJ Entertainment took care of the distribution affairs of Hollywood DreamWorks Pictures in Asia, so he said perfunctorily to Bernard: "We'll talk about it then. Bar."

Bernard smiled confidently: "Jiang, Li, I know what you are thinking."

"But if you can't do it, I can guarantee that no Hollywood studio will adopt a box office sharing model with you."

"Colombia can give you a copyright fee that far exceeds the US$500 million for "Pirates." As long as your fourth work satisfies us, the overseas copyright fee can even exceed that of Li Lianlian's "Hero."

"Besides, Jiang, Columbia helped you distribute "Saw". Wow, you are really a natural film investor. "Saw", which cost US$130 million to produce, grossed more than US$3000 million at the North American box office, surpassing "Pirates" .”

“Look, you made a lot of money because of Colombia.”

Jiang Liu sneered but didn't speak.

He made a lot of money because of Colombia?

Could it be that Columbia Pictures took advantage of the invisible group contracts of several major Hollywood studios to take a hard cut of his flesh?

Not to mention "Pirates", it was his test of the waters, a blockbuster movie, and a stepping stone to the North American market.

But "Monster" came after the success of "Pirates".

He wanted "Monster" to adopt a box office sharing model in the North American market, but the major Hollywood studios still sternly rejected it. How could he not have ideas?

He has always been clear.

Not only him, but film companies outside Hollywood can only sell the rights to Hollywood.

Copyright can make money, so Hollywood will bleed hard to fatten itself.

Copyrights are worthless, and Hollywood immediately discards them like worn-out shoes and throws them into the trash.

Behind the operation of several major North American film studios, producers like him seem to have made money by selling copyrights.

In fact, it is always the Hollywood companies that benefit the most, and they use this to become bigger and bigger, sucking more blood.

He is well aware of Hollywood's routines, and he also knows that most of his movies will make money.

The more copyrights he sends to Hollywood, the more Hollywood companies earn.

He may be selfish and have no big ideals.

But watching Hollywood exploit him in such a way, any individual with a bit of blood in his movies will feel rebellious.

　Hey guys, there is only one chapter today.

　　It's really cold today. In my memory, it has not been around minus 10 degrees in our house for many years, and it snowed early. I was really shaking while typing.
