Chapter 344 Copyright Deal: A Little Goodbye Is Better than a New Marriage

Although the Venice Film Festival has ended, the busiest period in the copyright trading market has just begun.

After all, the films shortlisted for the grand prize will basically choose to give it a try, so after the awards are given, the trading time for the award-winning films will last for at least a week.

The literary and artistic films of the Wei and Jin Dynasties have always been hot pursuits by film producers. Now that they have won the Grand Jury Prize, the price will go up even more.

Before the awards ceremony, the film studio's price for "Breaking Drummer" was as high as over 1600 million US dollars. However, Wei Jin did not agree and kept Chen Zhiming hanging. Now is the time to reap the fruits of victory.

After some intense negotiations, a total of 12 film producers offered a sky-high price of US$2680 million.

Wei Jin is very satisfied with this figure. Although it is not as good as the US$3160 million of "The Hunt", it is a Golden Bear Award-winning film, and it is an English film, and the subject matter is more suitable for Europe and the United States.

This "Breaking Drummer" is not only a jury award, but also a musical and literary film. The copyright transaction price of 2680 million US dollars is definitely a high price.

Not only have the prices of Wei Jin's award-winning films soared, but Anhua Hui's "Sister Tao" is no exception.

The previous cumulative quotation was only US$160 million. After winning the Silver Lion Award for Best Actress, the price soared to US$680 million.

"Yifei, this is all an illusion. What Chief Jia and others say is nothing more than arousing public sympathy and wanting to make more money."

"By the way, Mr. Wei, what Director Han wants is that the movie will be released soon. When we return to China, we will make this number public directly."

"Yifei, we still have a few hours to go back. Let's go to the rest area to rest for a while."

Then this guy started to disappear, and Huayi was asked to come forward to issue a press release and a lawyer's letter.

Liu Yifei has never been involved in copyright transactions before. In her opinion, those domestic literary and artistic film directors who clamor for more theaters to schedule films every day should be losing money.

Calculated, compared to the production cost of 3000 million yuan, the copyright transaction alone directly achieved a net profit of more than 2000 million yuan. When it is released in China, it will make a lot of money.

"Brother, are you saying this is true? I think Producer Zhang is fine except for his love of hype."

They bumped into each other several times. Zhang Dabeard came out of the rooms of several actresses at four or five in the morning. This was also the reason for his expulsion.

In terms of net worth alone, these artistic film directors who have been selling out copyrights for a long time are not necessarily worse than Feng Dapao and others, but they just hide their wealth.

Regarding Liu Yifei's proposal, Wei and Jin were all right. They pampered the little girl for almost 20 days, and the other empresses in the palace were also affected by the rain and dew.

An actor took the initiative to break the news, and even the text messages from which the assistant director was involved were exposed.

Later, a staff member who was fired from the crew came forward and revealed that 7 of the 6 spider spirits could not escape.

"Okay, you can stay with her."

"Mr. Wei's name is still the biggest. Except for the copyrights in Southeast Asia, which were not sold, the other regions combined totaled 3120 million US dollars!"

While Wei Jin was making trouble with his hands, he also gave the little girl a lot of knowledge about the industry.

How could Zhang Beard admit it? When faced with the reporter's interview, he became furious and said, "It's all nonsense."

Thinking of this, Wei Jin felt that it was necessary to let the little girl see the dangers in the industry.

A few days ago, something went wrong again with "New Journey to the West" produced by Zhang Dahu.

She was planning to go to Liu Yifei's side to hide from the limelight.

"Brother, please don't come over these days. Changshang will stay at home for a few days, and I have to stay with her."

Listening to the little girl's doubts, Wei Jin held her on his lap and stroked her plump, slender and delicate white legs with a pair of big hands.

"can."

Wei Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered the news he had read two days ago, and he understood.

To be honest, Wei Jin felt that he should keep the news a secret. After all, Big Beard was a core member of Huayi, so he shouldn't have too much fun.

"Brother, can literary and artistic films be sold at such a high price?"

On the private plane, Liu Yifei was a little curious about this copyright transaction.

In fact, whether it is a commercial film or a literary film, if you can become a top director along the way, it will be easy to make money.

At the same time, news came from China Film Group's Li Gang that the matter of "Thieves" has been settled, and all interested film producers have signed contracts.

"Hey, that's not easy to say."

Feeling the hard object against her thigh, Liu Yifei didn't know what was about to happen. Although she was a little shy, she still nodded slightly and agreed. This time when she returns to Beijing, she will no longer be able to have a man to herself. Let's seize the last moment.

Wei Jin took Liu Yifei directly back to China on a private plane. As for Bai Yu and Teacher Wang, after the award ceremony, they returned home first.

After settling the film copyright matter, Chen Zhiming was left in charge of the subsequent contract signing and other administrative work.

When she was in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", if Liu Xiaoli and Chen Jinfei hadn't protected her, the little girl would have been harassed.

As soon as this news came out, the circle was in a state of shock, and the media swarmed in.

For this requirement, Wei and Jin were all capable. The copyright transaction would undoubtedly be a huge blessing to the movie box office, and it was also a glorious political achievement for Lao Hantou.

After listening to Wei Jin's explanation, Liu Yifei nodded thoughtfully, and then thought of something else.

But according to the situation of "Exploding Drummer" or "Sister Tao", it can't be considered a loss, right?

"How much?" Wei Jin asked on the phone.

Watching Wei Jin and Liu Yifei get up and go to the rest area, flight attendant Chen Ting looked sad. Why didn't she have a chance to be alone with her boss?
A few hours later, the private plane landed at Beijing Airport.

The excited media couldn't find the bearded man, so they naturally started looking for the actors on the set. Shu Chang was also harassed these days because of his guest appearance as the "Daughter King" in the play.

Hearing this figure, Wei Jin was very satisfied. The production cost of 1.8 million was recovered directly from copyright income, and all the money was earned at the box office.

Wei and Jin's group came out of the VIP aisle. At this time, Liu Yifei was wearing a large T-shirt, short shorts and white shoes. Coupled with the spring flush on her face that had not yet faded, her whole person exuded an extremely youthful and beautiful atmosphere. .

The group of people walked through the airport and turned heads very frequently. Although the security measures were adequate, they still caused a lot of commotion.

After finally walking out of the airport, there were already a large number of reporters outside.

There is nothing Wei Jin can do about this. During the week after the Venice Film Festival, reporters will probably be here guarding them and cannot avoid them.

Choosing a place with few people, Wei Jin accepted the reporter's interview.

"Director Wei, congratulations on winning the award for "The Exploding Drummer". Can you tell me how much the copyright was sold for?"

Wei Jin called them "good guys". These reporters went straight to the topic as soon as they came up. Unfortunately, he didn't plan to announce it before the movie was released.

"Please forgive me for keeping this issue confidential for the time being. I can only say that it's okay."

The reporter who asked the question simply rolled his eyes. It was too perfunctory. Is it possible that the film directed by you, Mr. Wei, could be inferior? Then the testing began.

"Is it as much as "Thieves"? Yesterday, China Film Group just announced the copyright transaction amount, 3120 million US dollars!"

Although he had a premonition of Han Sanping's fiery temperament, Wei Jin was still surprised by his efficiency.

“Almost”

"Yifei, how does it feel to participate in the International Film Festival for the first time?" "Director Wei, are you and Yifei in love?"

Less than half an hour later, after sending away the reporters, Wei Jin took Liu Yifei into the business car that the company came to greet.

In the car, secretary Li Na reported a lot of work to Wei Jin. After all, it was nearly half a month. The key was that even the president was not at home. As the secretary-general of the administrative office, she was extremely busy.

Wei Jin listened and nodded from time to time.

"The Tuner" has been released, with a final box office revenue of 3.12 million. If not for the pressure from Hollywood blockbusters in the second half of the month, it is estimated that the box office could have been to million more.

But despite this, Wei Jin was already very satisfied.

According to the theater chain's share, the movie's box office can be divided into about 1.25 yuan. After deducting the production and publicity costs, the net profit will be nearly million.

In addition, this type of suspense movie has a global market, and overseas film producers have come to purchase the overseas copyright and remake rights of the movie, with offers as high as US$1100 million.

Calculated in this way, a small production with a cost of 2500 million will bring a net profit of nearly 2 million, which is simply beyond imagination.

"Boss, the celebration party for "The Tuner" hasn't been held yet. Look,"

"Is Zhang Songwen still on the set of "The Art of the Heart" now?"

"Yes, it will probably be completed in about a week."

"Then forget it, just send a big red envelope to the creators."

"Okay, boss."
-
After sending Liu Yifei home, Wei Jin came to Dongshan Villa.

It has been more than half a month since he saw the rich flower, and he missed it very much.

Opening the door, Wei Jin changed his shoes, only to see the nanny cleaning in the huge living room.

"Where's Tiantian?" Wei Jin asked the nanny.

"Mr. Wei, Tiantian is upstairs."

Wei Jin nodded and walked towards the second floor. When he came to the bedroom, he saw Jing Tian lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone. Her cool home shorts perfectly showed off her curves. A pair of beautiful white legs were dangling, which was very attractive. eyeball.

Seeing the little girl obsessed with her mobile phone, Wei Jin quietly came up behind her and grabbed her beautiful legs without warning.

The frightened Jing Tian quickly turned around, and when he saw clearly that the person coming was Wei Jin, a look of surprise appeared on his face again.

"Brother, are you back?"

While he was talking, Jing Tian had already jumped up from the bed, leaped high and rushed towards Wei Jin, a pair of proud magic weapons pressed tightly against his face.

"Woo~~ Tiantian, are you going to murder your husband?"

Wei Jin patted the girl's buttocks, and the latter slid down a little, hugged his neck, and hung her slender legs tightly on the man's waist, like a koala.

"Hmph, who told you to leave for more than half a month?"

A woman's face change is really like turning the page in a book. Jing Tian, ​​who had a face of surprise just now, is now pouting.

"Tiantian, I'm going to do some business right now. As soon as I get back, I'll come to see you. My luggage is still in the car."

Wei Jin could naturally understand the little girl's emotions. He put his chin on the girl's delicate cheek and rubbed it with his beard to show intimacy.

Breathing in the man's scent, Jing Tian was a little fascinated. Of course she knew that Wei Jin was on business, and what he said just now was just coquettishness, but he still looked arrogant.

"Then you just scared people?"

"Haha, isn't it your fault that you are too fascinated by it?"

Wei Jin smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, held the girl on his lap, and scratched her nose.

"What are you looking at?"

Hearing the man's words, Jing Tian was a little excited and took out his cell phone.

"Brother, look at this, the Internet is very lively."

Wei Jin took a look and said, good guy, Feng Dapao must be so shameless.

This year’s Golden Rooster nominations have been announced.

Perhaps it is because of the revised rules of this year's Golden Rooster that many people in the industry have opinions and have chosen the Golden Rooster. There are quite few films that have signed up for the Golden Rooster, and most of them are less well-known.

Feng Dapao's "Earthquake" was nominated for all major awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Screenplay, and Cinematography, with a total of 9 nominations.

9 nominations, which is extremely rare in the Golden Rooster Awards in previous years!

Although there are other films nominated for the same award, these films that have signed up for the Golden Rooster are incomparable to "Earthquake" in terms of box office and influence.

This means that "Earthquake" is likely to win all the nominated awards.

This made Feng Dapao so excited that he immediately began to criticize him on the Internet.

"Those who go to the Golden Rooster, I just can't figure it out. As the highest award for mainland films, the Golden Rooster is fair, open and just to us mainland filmmakers. Isn't it better than the Golden Rooster?"

Netizens were laughing crazy, and online fun-lovers even used various memes to criticize Feng Dapao.

For example, some netizens quoted Zhuge Liang as saying, "I have never seen such a shameless person!"

Others, in the words of Poet Chen, said, "People can't be so shameless!"

Many fellow directors in the industry also ridiculed him on Weibo. The core content was just one sentence, "It has disgraced the great director."

But after all, Feng Dapao is a big commercial director, and there are many people who praise him, most of them are actors. Everyone on Weibo wished that "Earthquake" would win 9 out of 9, which is very ironic.

"How's it going, brother? It's wonderful. I had a lot of fun reading the comments from netizens all night long."

"It's really wonderful. He is the only one in the industry who can be so shameless."

After making a complaint, Wei Jin put down his cell phone and looked at the rich and pretty face close at hand with fiery eyes.

Immediately, Wei Jin gently held the girl's pretty face and pressed his lips to her delicate lips.

The little girl responded enthusiastically. Wei Jin also knew that the beauty had been waiting for a long time, so he took advantage of his ability to be considerate.

After a long wet French kiss, Jingtian had become naked.

Picking up the girl, Wei Jin was about to take the next step, but Jing Tian stopped him.

"Brother, I want to watch you today."

Wei Jin smiled when he heard this. The little girl was afraid that she would adopt the posterior position.

"Okay, Tiantian, it's all up to you."

After saying that, Wei Jin pressed the girl against the bed, and a pair of slender and delicate legs automatically hung on his shoulders.

Soon, bursts of fairy sounds sounded in the house, it was really a farewell than a wedding.
