World-class directors in the entertainment industry

John Carl left and took the company's employees back.

In addition to watching the second film with Qin Dong, I also had some not-so-good news.

This young Chinese director actually wants to compete openly with the super comic book movie "Green Hat" promoted by the company.

Full of thoughts, John couldn't stand still at all and hurriedly took people back to the company.

Now that the release time has been decided, we need to rush to promote it. Time is really running out.

Qin Dong also talked to the CEOs of China Film, Undercover, and Bona about the promotion, and then took Martin back.

..

The Qin Empire.

"Qin, what do you think? You are competing in disguise with Warner's "Cuckold" in disguise. Look at John, he is leaving in a hurry. The key is that it is a big-budget movie and it is a bit risky."

Martin Bob was not in a hurry to leave this time. He had something to talk to Qin Dong, so he followed him here.

Naturally, there is nothing to hide when talking in private. Martin feels that it is not good to directly compete with Warner's big-budget movies, and he is also a little worried about affecting the box office of Qin Dong's movie.

Big productions are big productions, and most of the time they are not comparable to small-budget films.

"Click..."

Qin Dong took out a cigar, cut out one and threw it to Martin. Qin Dong usually didn't smoke this, but he was prepared. Many foreigners like to smoke cigars. After lighting the cigar and taking a puff, Qin Dong spoke slowly:

"Martin, I saw the starring list of [Cuckold]. Is the male lead Ryan Reitz Scarlett's ex-husband?"

Martin was stunned. He knew about this, but this kind of divorce drama was too common:

"They did officially divorce a few months ago, what? Do you have other thoughts about Scarlett?"

Qin Dong looked at Martin speechlessly, what look in his eyes:

"What are you thinking about, Martin, Scarlett and I are good friends. We are now and will be in the future. We can only be friends, understand?"

After saying something to Martin, Qin Dong touched his chin and said mysteriously:

"I just thought of an idea. You said, what about a show between husband and wife, where ex-wife Scarlett carries the new movie [Source Code] and fights her ex-husband Ryan's comic book adaptation [Cuckold]? What about this scene? It may cause some excitement over there.

Where’s the news attention?”

After hearing this, Martin thought for a while and showed a look of approval:

"That's a good idea. Gossip news has always been people's nature. When these two people divorced, there was quite a stir. And to be honest, Qin, your reputation is very big in your country now, but... you can start with

Let’s use Scarlett’s name to promote it.”

"At the premiere, I will mobilize my artists to support you and increase your fame in one fell swoop."

With the emergence of Qin Dong's two completed films, Martin has become more and more interested in this director who can produce films quickly and well, especially...

At the end of his sentence, Martin frowned again and reminded:

"Qin, it's just that in this case, you are fighting against Warner Bros., which is also distributing our film."

Qin Dong took a puff of the cigar, slowly exhaled the smoke, his eyes were thinking, and after taking two puffs, he shook his head:

"Martin, I thought about it and it's okay. No matter what the outcome is, this is a competition between two movies."

"If Warner has such a big heart, then get out of here as soon as possible."

"Isn't this a super blockbuster that claims to cost 200 million U.S. dollars? Do you still need to be afraid of my small-budget film with a cost of 20 million U.S. dollars?"

Martin nodded, that's right.

Winning or losing is none of their business. If Warner dares to involve Qin Dong, Martin promises to mobilize public opinion immediately and exclude the other party from the list of Qin Dong's fifth film. When the contract was signed, Martin kept a hand.

It is just for the convenience of negotiating the contract. Once Warner makes any bad move towards his employer, the contract can be terminated at any time and he only needs to pay back the principal.

Shaking his head, Martin stopped thinking about this matter. This young Chinese director had a very good idea. He couldn't persuade him and talked about other things:

"Qin, I have other things to do this time. First of all, congratulations. Your "Divergent" is very popular. It has sold more than 2 million copies and is preparing for large-scale global distribution during the summer vacation."

Qin Dong smiled, good news:

"What about my share?"

Martin smiled. It was right to speak frankly. Foreigners are very straightforward about money. He took out a check from his body:

"I brought it to you. I guess you'll have to find an agency to replace it for you."

Qin Dong took it and took a look:

"Oh, that's not bad. There are also 25 million US dollars."

For this kind of data, Qin Dong directly judged it, which was calculated based on 50% of the total price of two million books.

This is also the strength of CAA. Otherwise, ordinary people can only get less than 10%, famous authors can get more than 10%, and famous best-selling authors can get more than 30%.

He casually handed the check to Martin again.

"...?"

Martin took it with a look of doubt on his face.

"Martin, exchange the check with you, settle the loan contract for 16 million between us, and the remaining money will be transferred into the stock account I opened over there."

"I understand, no problem."

Martin remembered that Qin Dong was still trading in the US stock market.

This young director is very restless. He is a young man after all and wants to have a hand in everything.

"Is there anything else? Martin, let's finish it all at once."

If Martin stayed, he wouldn't just send a check, so Qin Dong asked him directly.

"There are two more things."

Martin nodded:

"Divergent is very popular, and you can start writing your second novel."

Qin Dong smiled and asked:

"Then how about you stay for a few days and then you go back after I write it out?"

Martin shook his head:

"Forget it, I don't have time, and I'm not in a hurry. I'm just telling you to make preparations. Why don't you bring it to the premiere? Anyway, you have to go to North America to attend the premiere of [Source Code].

, you show your face for the first time there, I have to support you."

"Your special effects script was acquired by Paramount. The other party financed and distributed it, but the negotiated share was only 8% of the global box office. This is because Director Roland gave up the share and received a fixed 10 million director

Due to the cost and the fact that it was a co-production, Paramount made concessions for the sake of the market here."

Qin Dong thought for a while:

"Okay, eight percent is fine. If it's less, I'll take the photo myself."

By next year, Qin Dong will most likely be able to redeem it for artificial intelligence. By then, the special effects cost of 100 million U.S. dollars will be directly solved by him in minutes, so there is no need to give it away.

"That's okay. During the premiere, I'll go there two days early and I'll introduce you to the artists of our company."

Qin Dong agreed with a smile and stood up:

"Let's go, let's take you to eat our specialties. To be honest, there are so many, I don't even know what to introduce to you."

Martin laughed very happily when he heard this:

"Wow, that's a good statement. I've been famous for Chinese cuisine for a long time. Unfortunately, the ones we have over there are all improved. I heard that the only way to eat authentic food is here."

Qin Dong introduced Martin while walking outside:

"Speaking of which, I'm not bragging. Even if you taste one dish a day, if you don't repeat it, you won't be able to finish it in a year."

Martin laughed:

"Haha, then I have to have a good taste today. Qin, you, a landlord, have to treat you well."

Qin Dong shrugged:

"No problem, I guarantee you'll be satisfied and go back with a full belly."
