Chapter 428 Overseas Explosion.

"Of course, you can go to my office." Han Fei made a gesture of convenience, and he was not the one who was anxious at this time.

John was obviously not optimistic about the results of Chris's phone call, and continued to persuade: "Actually, I don't think there is any need to wait any longer. Although other companies may have lower fees than us, our Lionsgate is the most suitable for you. "

"Why don't you give Chris a little more time? Maybe there will be a miracle?" Han Fei shrugged and said half-jokingly.

John shook his head as if mocking: "Miracle? No, I don't believe in miracles."

About half an hour later, Chris came back, but it was obvious that his face was not relaxed, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

"Sorry, it's been a long wait, maybe we can talk again?" Chris spoke with confidence.

Han Fei became interested: "Okay, no problem."

"In fact, as far as I know, Lionsgate takes 2/8 of the distribution fees outside of Hollywood, and also requires the producer to pay a certain deposit. If the box office revenue does not equal the distribution fee, the deposit If you don’t want to come back, the share we can give is 3/7, and we don’t charge any deposit.”

As soon as Chris finished speaking, John's face changed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Chris say: "Also, we will share the revenue from the open peripherals with you, such as DVD, network, and TV licensing fees. We can do this ratio." Give you [-]%."

"Are you crazy?" John exploded as soon as he heard it, and growled at Chris, no longer calm before.

This time, Chris stared at him coldly: "Crazy, it's better than dying immediately!"

"It's unreasonable, do you know what you're doing? You're breaking the rules and you're going to be scorned, bastard!"

In fact, John doesn’t really care whether the deal can be negotiated or not. It’s just an extra profit for the company, and for him, it’s just an extra bonus. But Chris’ behavior of breaking the rules, It is likely to bring hope to other Huaxia film companies.

Once Han Fei makes a lot of money from it, can other film and television companies not be jealous?In the eyes of all Hollywood film companies, the global film market is their ticket warehouse. As for wanting to make money from the North American market?Dreaming, even if there are films that can really attract North American audiences, as long as they master the distribution channels, only the distributors will make money in the end. As for the producers?Just give three melons and two dates to deal with it. Didn't they always do this before?
Chris was crazy enough to make such a concession. John suddenly regretted coming to China this time. Obviously, he became the last straw that crushed Chris and the BOSS behind him.

If it was before watching "The Wandering Earth", John would not hesitate to launch this meaningless battle for distribution rights, and even reach a private settlement with Chris to put pressure on Han Fei together.

However, at this moment, some images in "The Wandering Earth" are still emerging in my mind. Obviously, this movie is worth making some concessions, which is why Chris directly throws out so many attractive conditions regardless of the consequences.

"Sorry, please give me some time, I need to communicate with the BOSS." John took a deep breath and gave Chris a vicious look before leaving.

During these half an hour, Chris has been persuading Han Fei to sign with him: "In fact, it is impossible for Lionsgate to offer a more favorable policy than ours. You must know that they no longer rely on independent film distribution. Make money, you are competitors, only we will wholeheartedly help you develop the North American film market."

"Mr. Chris, don't get excited. I already know the sincerity of your company, but since Mr. John has come all the way, I naturally have to give him a chance, right?" Han Fei's attitude towards Chris Also a lot gentler, this foreigner finally showed some sincerity.

A quarter of an hour later, John came back, and he shrugged helplessly: "Mr. Han Fei, I'm sorry, the company did not agree to my plan, but I still hope that you can give us the North American distribution rights of [The Wandering Earth], You have to believe in our distribution capabilities."

"I'm sorry, Mr. John, I'm afraid I can't promise you." Han Fei could only make a sorry gesture to him, and then extended his hand to Chris.

Facing Han Fei's outstretched right hand in front of him, Chris couldn't be happy at all, and even felt a sense of frustration, but he could only accept that the matter had come to this point.

"Mr. John, you have come so far away, why don't you take a stroll in the capital first, and I will arrange a professional tour guide to show you the oriental culture." Before sending John away, Han Fei sent out an invitation.

In fact, this is Han Fei's defense against Chris. You must know that Chinese-language movies have suffered a lot in this regard before. All copyrights, but in fact, Miramax did not fully pay the money, and "Hero" was going to hit the Oscars back then. As a result, Miramax had a bunch of Oscar-winning films on hand, "Hero" It was so abandoned that it was officially released in North America two years later.

The strategy they adopt is to squeeze out competitors with high prices, and then they can manipulate Huaxia's producers at will.

"Of course, I'd be happy." If you don't take advantage of the bastard, it turns out that this sentence is also applicable to crooked people.

In the next few days, Han Fei led the legal team to start negotiations with Chris. In fact, the authorized agency contract is not complicated and does not require such a big battle. However, after all, the laws of the United States are different from those of China. It was the Huaxia people who suffered too much in this regard, so Han Fei naturally had to be on guard.

In the end, the agreement was signed, and Chris hurried back home with his female secretary and legal affairs. Time is extremely precious to everyone.

Soon, "The Wandering Earth" began to be released in Southeast Asian countries on a large scale, and the response was extremely enthusiastic. Over the years, China has gradually become stronger, but there are still many disputes, and the appearance of "The Wandering Earth" has also made many Southeast Asian countries see The epitome of Huaxia Technology.

Looking at the leopard, the strength of the United States is not only military strength, but also cultural strength. People in many countries even firmly believe that the so-called Area 51 contains alien black technology developed by the United States.

Of course, these are just small things, and what really made netizens pay attention to the overseas box office of "The Wandering Earth", and the popularity of "The Wandering Earth" in the Korean market.

In just one month after its release, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" exceeded 30 billion won, equivalent to more than 700 million yuan. Although it may not seem like much, you must know that this broke the historical box office record in South Korea.

Just when the netizens were cheering, another piece of even more exciting news came, that "The Wandering Earth" had quietly landed in Japan.
