Entertainment: I am the Three Beauties of the Green Fairy Sword, Reba, why are you crying?

That night

《As expected, the celebration banquet of”Lucy” dominated the hot searches.

The whole network was discussing the star-studded celebration banquet, which was full of big names.

However, Su Cheng, who was at the center of the vortex, was entangled by several foreigners after the celebration banquet.

Obviously, none of them gave up on the film and television copyright of”The Hunger Games”.

And they were on guard against each other.

Obviously, they also knew that they were competitors.

Su Cheng wanted this effect.

Only with competition could he get enough benefits from it.

He smiled and said,”Why don’t we go back to my company and sit down and talk slowly?” When Ma Yerus of Lionsgate talked to Su Cheng before, his attitude was very arrogant, as if he said that you made a lot of money because Lionsgate paid 16 million US dollars.

Now seeing that Disney, Warner, Paramount and other six Hollywood companies are all thinking about the film and television adaptation rights of”The Hunger Games”, his attitude quickly softened.

Pulling Su Cheng and whispering,”Mr.

Su, 26 million dollars, I can guarantee that except for our Lionsgate, no company in Hollywood is so generous.

” To be honest.

The offer of $26 million is indeed not low.

《Whether the adaptation of”The Hunger Games” will be successful is still unknown.

Every year, one or two best-selling novels are adapted into movies in the European and American market.

But there are very few that can really become a money-making tool like”Twilight”!!

It can even be said that there is not a single one released in several years!!

It’s a pity.

Su Cheng has seen the answer.

And he has it with him.

He firmly believes that it will be successful after his hands.

《The Hunger Games box office is not bad…

Su Cheng patted Mayerus’s blackened hand and said,”Don’t worry, let’s go back to the company and talk slowly.”

Back to Orange Films, several foreigners thought that Su Cheng wanted to talk to them one by one.

Who would have thought that

Su Cheng took them to the company’s theater and asked someone to play”Lucy”.

And it was the English subtitled version.

Several people frowned immediately.

Su Cheng said,”This is a science fiction action movie I shot. How about giving it a try?”

Several people present could be senior executives of large companies.

None of them were fools.

Joyce from Paramount Pictures said,”Mr. Su wants to bring this movie to the European and American markets?”

As far as he knew, most of the well-known directors in China have the ambition to impact the European and American markets.

Su Cheng did not comment,”Let’s finish watching it first.”

Joyce continued,”As long as Mr. Su agrees to resell the film and television adaptation rights of”The Hunger Games” to our Paramount, I can guarantee that”Lucy” will be released in the United States.” 307 Well…..

At that time, we can set up a few small theaters to show our respect and release the movie, as long as we can get the copyright of”The Hunger Games”!!

Although Su Cheng has never dealt with Hollywood, he has a good habit of learning lessons from others.

What kind of people are in Hollywood?

The descendants of pirates. They even cheated the Ying people who are of the same clan!!

For example, JK Rowling, the original author of”Harry Potter”, should have enjoyed part of the box office dividends of the Harry Potter series of movies according to the copyright agreement.

But in order to reduce the dividends, Warner Group turned the box office share of Harry Potter, which has a total box office of more than 7 billion US dollars, into a loss.

Although JK Rowling still has to share a part of the peripheral copyrights, this operation will at least reduce the share by 100 million or 200 million US dollars.

For money.

There is nothing that pirates can’t do!!

Su Cheng only likes to cheat people, not to be cheated, so he ignored Joyce’s pie in the sky and said lightly:”There is no rush for the release, let’s watch the movie first.”

Several foreign devils looked at each other and suppressed their dissatisfaction.

They watched”Lucy” on the big screen.

Although these people are responsible for their respective companies’ film affairs in Yazhou and even in the Huaxia region, they almost never watch Chinese films.

They all have the arrogance that the West is the center of the world.

Although several people know

《”Lucy” is the current box office champion of Chinese movies.

But at the beginning, several people did not think that”Lucy” would be so good.

It was not until the setting of the new anti-cancer drug fused with the heroine’s cells in the movie, and the brain development promoted to extraordinary was thrown out.

Then, several people gradually took it seriously.

Later, the heroine learned Wing Chun boxing from a kung fu movie and beat up the villain.

It made several people’s eyes light up.

The rhythm is so fast!!

It’s much more exciting than those Hollywood action movies!!

The fact that Chinese online articles can be sold overseas in the future shows that Europeans actually like the”cool article” routine

《The biggest advantage of the movie”Lucy” is that it is exciting.

It also starts from this part.

Several foreigners are fascinated by it…..

Then, a 3D special effect of bullets penetrating the screen appeared.

Lionsgate’s Majerus was so scared that he started swearing,”Shit, I thought I was going to go blind!!”

《The total running time of”Lucy” is only 100 minutes.

Including the end credits, it is only 102 minutes.

After watching it all, the expressions of several foreign devils became solemn.

《” Lucy” is not like traditional Chinese movies, which have barriers to viewing.

The core of the story of this movie can be understood without cultural identification.

Whether it is good or not, everyone knows it!!

Casper, the head of Disney Pictures, spoke first,”Mr. Su, we at Disney are willing to operate this movie to test the waters in the US market. I can guarantee that the number of theaters will not be less than 300.”

This is a statement of true cooperation!

The scale of the opening was directly reported!

300 is not too much or too little.

The scale of the opening of”Hero” in North America reached an astonishing 2,000 theaters.

But at that time, Jet Li had already made a name for himself in the United States.

And Zhang Yimou is also a great director who has won many world awards.

As a newcomer in the director industry, Su Cheng.

Casper is willing to give a scale of 300 theaters.

There is still sincerity.

Frank, the head of Warner, hesitated for a moment and said,”Mr. Su, let me go out and make a phone call before we talk, okay?”

Joyce from Paramount Pictures followed closely,”I’m going to go out and make a phone call too.”

Opening in more than 500 theaters is not something they can promise casually.

They need to apply to the head office.

Su Cheng nodded,”Of course.”

Disney’s Kapas watched the two leave the theater and spoke again,”Opening in 300 theaters does not mean that there will be only 300 theaters showing it. As long as the attendance rate of”Lucy” is OK, we at Disney can increase the number of theaters at any time.”

Su Cheng smiled,”Mr. Kapas, please be patient. At least I have to wait until Warner and Paramount report the conditions before I can choose a partner, right?”

Kapas understood.

Su Cheng was not satisfied with opening in 300 theaters.

He also stood up,”I’m going out to make a phone call too.”

Isn’t it just reporting?

Who can’t do it?!

The huge theater.

Suddenly, only Su Cheng and Majerus were left.

Su Cheng looked at the black vice president dressed in elite clothes,”Mr. Mayerus, you didn’t make a statement, is it because of your limited aesthetic ability that you can’t see the excellence of”Lucy”?”

Foreigners don’t like being subtle and modest. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

So Su Cheng chatted with them.

His tone was full of:

Do you think I’m awesome?

Mayerus smiled bitterly,”Disney, Paramount, and Warner are giant companies. They are all interested in acting as agents for the distribution of”Lucy” in the European and American markets. How could Mr. Su be interested in our Lionsgate?”

Now he has a clear mind….

Su Cheng smiled slightly:”Big companies have many rules. In fact, I prefer to cooperate with small companies like Lionsgate.”

Mayerus corrected:”Lionsgate is not a small company either. We are a large listed group.”

“But compared with the Big Six in Hollywood, there’s a big gap, isn’t there?”

“There is a gap, but it’s not big.”

Mayerus didn’t realize it.

From the first meeting at the celebration party to now, it has only been a few hours. But when he communicated with Su Cheng, his attitude had completely changed.

There was no longer the arrogance when they first met.

Su Cheng shrugged,”Well, no matter how big the gap is between Lionsgate and the Big Six, there is only one thing I care about, whether Lionsgate is really sincere in cooperating with me.”

Mayerus was stunned,”Mr. Su wants to hand over the distribution of”Lucy” in Europe and America to us, Lionsgate?”

“No, has Mr. Mayrus forgotten the original reason for looking for me?”

“You mean…”

Mayerus was ecstatic,”Willing to sell the rights to The Hunger Games to Lionsgate?”[]

Su Cheng shook his head,”It’s not selling, it’s cooperation.”

Mayerus was alert and looked at Su Cheng deeply,”I wonder how Mr. Su wants to cooperate?”

Su Cheng did not answer but asked,”What do you think of the film”Lucy”?”

“Very wonderful”

“I mean the shooting technique.”

(agfb)”Very exquisite.”

Mayerus looked at Su Cheng’s young face,”Mr. Su is a genius at directing. Even in Hollywood, there has never been a director at your age who has such mature shooting techniques and ideas.”

Su Cheng’s true intentions were exposed,”Then what do you think, I will be the director of The Hunger Games?!”

Mayerus did not hesitate,”Sure, as long as Mr. Su sells the copyright of The Hunger Games to Lionsgate, I can make the final decision, and you will be the director of The Hunger Games!”

Su Cheng smiled,”I know that you in Hollywood are producer-centered, and most directors are tools of the producer. What can and cannot be done is up to the producer.”

“So I hope Mr. Mayerus understands what I mean. What I want to do is to be a controlling director with absolute voice.”

Mayerus fell into a brief silence.

After more than ten seconds, he asked:”What is the absolute voice in Mr. Su’s eyes?”

“From casting before filming, to all matters on the set during filming, to special effects, editing, and post-production after filming – I have the final say on everything.”

“That’s impossible.”

Mayerus refused outright,”Hollywood directors don’t have such great power.”

Su Cheng sneered,”Really? Who has the final say on Camelot’s movies, Spielberg’s movies?”

Mayerus reminded,”They are already world-famous top directors.” Su

Cheng said indifferently,”How do you know I won’t be the next top director?”

Mayerus did not dislike Su Cheng’s arrogance.

Instead, he admired it very much,”All this takes a process, doesn’t it? Hollywood respects the strong the most. If your first movie in Hollywood is a big success, then for your next movie, you will naturally get the rights that only big directors have.”

Su Cheng seemed to be convinced,”Okay, then I won’t talk about the rights I need to be a director, but the prerequisites for me to be a director.”

Mayerus raised his hand very gentlemanly,”You say”

“20% advance box office dividend.

” Majerus was shocked when he heard this.

After he reacted, he cursed again,”Shit, are you crazy?!

20% box office dividend, and in advance?!

Camelot didn’t even dare to say that!!

” Advance box office dividend means: the movie has a box office of 1 billion US dollars.

Su Cheng directly takes 1 billion multiplied by 20%.

There is no need to divide it after the box office is divided.

The advantage of doing this is to prevent the film company from making a loss on the account and not getting the actual dividend.

And this kind of top treatment.

Few directors in the whole Hollywood can enjoy it.

That’s why Majerus reacted so much.

Su Cheng was very calm,”The cost of Camelot to make a movie is enough for me to make”The Hunger Games” into four movies, not to mention that I paid for the adaptation rights of”The Hunger Games.

“”Majerus shook his head firmly,”Even if I agree to you, Lionsgate’s shareholders will never agree.

All risks are borne by us Lionsgate.

What about you? Zero risk, high return.

” Su Cheng waited for him to finish before speaking,”But what if I agree to the bet?” Mayerus was stunned again.

Young people are playing such a big game? Don’t you know that nine out of ten bets are lost.

Is betting just a trick by capital to fool the leeks?!

He asked:”How do you want to bet? 20% of the advance box office dividends is too exaggerated.

The shareholders of our company will not agree to a general bet agreement.

”

“If you want to gamble, you should gamble big.”

Su Cheng smiled and said,”I will sell the adaptation rights for free, and I won’t charge the director’s salary in advance. If the global box office is less than 200 million dollars, it is equivalent to me working for Lionsgate for free.”

Mayerus’s hands trembled.

Not because he was scared.

But because he was happy!!

Free money for less than 200 million dollars?

The Chinese boy really thinks it is so easy to succeed in the film market!!

《Lucy became the first Chinese domestic film in history, but it only grossed over $100 million!!

Su Cheng continued,”The global box office is $300 million, and I only get a fixed salary of $5 million.” Majerus nodded

,”300 million box office, only $5 million in salary, and you paid for the adaptation rights, you are very conscientious, go on.””

“The global box office is $4, and I still get a fixed salary of $10 million.”

“but”

“If the global box office exceeds 500 million, I will take the advance box office dividends”

“5 points.”

This means that if the global box office reaches 500 million dollars,

Su Cheng can take away 25 million dollars. It is a huge sum of money.

But Mayerus is sure to convince the shareholders because there are not many movies with a box office of 500 million dollars in a year!! Mayerus asked,”Then what?

”

“If the global box office revenue is $600 million, I will take 10% of the advance box office dividends; if the global box office revenue is $700 million, I will take 15%; if the global box office revenue is $800 million, I will take 20%; if the global box office revenue exceeds $800 million, I will take only $200 million.%”

This time it was Mayerus’ turn to laugh,”If it exceeds 800 million dollars, there is a great chance to win the world’s annual championship. Is Mr. Su so confident?”

Su Cheng said provocatively,”It’s a bet, the fun is exciting, how about it? Mr. Mayerus, do you dare to bet with me?”

“”Why don’t you bet against Disney, Warner, and Paramount?” Mayerus wondered.

Su Cheng smiled and said,”The global publicity and distribution capabilities of the six Hollywood giants are too strong. They think that even the worst movies can be sold well after their publicity and distribution. So, although I am a new director, they will most likely not agree to my bet conditions, because they believe in their own publicity and distribution capabilities.”

“What you mean is that our Lionsgate promotion and marketing capabilities are not good enough?”

“At least not as good as the Big Six.”

Su Cheng looked at his watch,”They should be back soon. Do you agree to my bet? Give me a definite answer, Mr. Mayrus.”

“It’s crazy, but I like it…..”

Mayerus showed his white teeth and said,”I will do my best to convince the board of directors, and I hope that you can achieve your wish, Mr. Su.”

“Yes.”

Su Cheng still had a confident expression,”If I win, you Lionsgate won’t lose money either. You can make less money at the box office, but the profits from the peripheral products will be enough for you to eat your fill.”

“I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!!”

Although it has not been reported to shareholders and the board of directors,

Mayerus feels that this plan…..

It will probably pass.

As Su Cheng said.

Lionsgate will not lose money no matter what!!

The author said: I don’t like the older cousin, 90~95 European and American female stars, do you have any recommendations? A little older is fine.

By the way, the protagonist will still focus on the domestic market. The previous books all moved to Hollywood later. For this book, it will go on two fronts to ensure that the protagonist has the status of a”big director”..
