2014 was a crucial year for the development of Wild Fox Company. The completion of many film and television dramas established their unshakable position in the Chinese film and television industry. If the expected results can be achieved in the sales meeting, the Wild Fox TV drama department will become a benchmark in the industry in 2015.

Linda then reported on many film and television dramas that the three companies will produce next year, including S-level projects such as "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad", "Little Farewell", "Ode to Joy", "Lonely Empty Court Spring Late", "Qingyun Zhi", as well as the projects mainly for training artists, "Left Ear" TV version, and "Tornado Girl", which Qin Mohan is preparing to be a producer. The company's subordinate artists can audition and shoot according to their own characteristics. In principle, the company's artists are given priority. If there is no suitable artist, they can be hired externally.

After Linda's report, Chen Zhixi, as the director of the film production department, reported: "The projects we are producing are Zhou Xingxing's "Mermaid", Niu's "Wolf Totem", and Teacher He's "Gardenia Blossoms".

"Han Xiaoxiao and the others' "City in Love" ended?" Chen Fang asked in surprise.

Chen Zhixi knew several films conducted by the company: "It is almost over, and the Hokkaido filming is waiting for a heavy snow."

Chen Fang said to the other people: "Although this drama is the graduation work of several newcomers, we should pay attention to it, especially in the promotion and promotion stage, and we should support them. These people have high evaluations from Professor Tian, ​​and hope to become our long-term cooperation partners in the future."

"Yeah, I understand." Qu Xiaoxiao and Feng Kun nodded in agreement when they heard Chen Fang's words and marked them separately in the small notebook.

Chen Zhixi continued to report: "The films we will produce and shoot next year include Director Xue's "The Love Letter", Director Han's "Hotpot Hero", and Director Guo Fan's "Hello, Madman!"." Director Han is Han Yan. After last time he had contacted Shen Fang with Han Xiaoxiao and others in a bar, he brought the script of "Hotpot Hero" to the company with him in two days.

"Where is the film "Youth"?"

Zhong Lifang replied: "Director Tian and his "Youth" are also in progress. Although the project has been established, it will not start production until the second half of next year. Moreover, because of the debate between Director Feng and the fifth generation director, the outside world has been very popular with this film. Director Qu and others suggested that they be cold for a while. After all, there is no substantial effect on the hype now, and it will only increase the difficulty of casting. So we will wait until we prepare for promotion next year and then take it out and hype it up."

Lu Wei, who was standing by, suggested: "I heard that Director Feng has established a film called "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" and chose Feng Qianqian as the heroine. You can discuss it with them and hype them together."

Chen Fang has no objection to Lu Wei's proposal. There is no permanent enemy in the entertainment industry, only interest disputes. Feng Gangpao's quarrel with the fifth-generation director is also because he believes that his interests have been violated. However, when "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" is released, without the cooperation of wild foxes, Feng Gangpao will also bring out the current topic and re-hype it up to increase the topic and exposure.

"Teacher Lu's proposal is very good. We will communicate with Huayi Brothers' Propaganda and Distribution Department at that time." After chatting with the new project, Zhong Lifang then said to Feng Kun of the issuing department: "Our company's issuing figures next year are difficult. Director Feng, your department must formulate a complete issuance plan. If the company needs to cooperate with each department, you can notify the company in advance."

Feng Kun nodded, took out the information he prepared and sent it to everyone, and began to report that the film "Return to Twenty" that will be released by Wild Fox Company in 2015 will be released in the Spring Festival, "Master" will be released in March, "Fast and Furious 7" will be released in April, "The Year of the May Day", "The Dragon Boat Festival", "Why Sheng Xiaomo", "The Summer Festival will be "Hong Kong Lost", "City in Love", "Wolf Warrior" and "Monster Hunt", "National Day" will be released in the National Day holiday, and next year's New Year movie will be "Operation Mekong" and "Hotpot Heroes" filmed in the first half of 2015.

Chen Fang pointed to the information and said, "The Dragon Search" arrived in the summer season in advance. I discussed with Mr. Guangxian to put "Hong Kong Empress" on the National Day. I heard that Huayi and the others were going to put "Nine-Story Demon Tower" on the release of August, so we try to adjust it to them as much as possible."

After Chen Fang finished speaking, Zhong Lifang suggested: "The Wolf Warrior and Monster Hunting" were not suitable for August, and Huayi's "Nine-Story Monster Tower" is probably too crowded. Although we have the advantage of scheduling, we cannot oversqueeze other films to schedule films. I suggest discussing with director Wu Jing to adjust "Wolf Warrior" to the Mid-Autumn Festival period, so that we can also harvest some box offices during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day period."

Zhong Lifang's proposal was recognized by everyone. Feng Kun held a pen to mark the suggestions of the two leaders, and prepared to confirm these things after the meeting ended.

After Qu Xiaoxiao finished speaking at Shen Fang, she looked at him and asked: "The first drama we released in 2015 was "Return to Twenty" starring Qin Mohan. It was on New Year's Eve on February 18th. Mr. Chen, can you see if Mohan can cooperate with the promotion?"

Chen Fang smiled bitterly and said, "Our honeymoon time has been shortened to twenty days, so we can't shrink any more, otherwise we won't even have a honeymoon when we get married. Wouldn't it be a big regret in the future?"

Chen Fang's words made several people laugh. Qu Xiaoxiao suggested: "Your honeymoon should just go to Los Angeles for the last stop. Han Xiao has received an invitation from Grammys, and the New Year's Eve Gala in Times Square in New York also sent an invitation to Han Xiao. How about you accompany Han Xiao to attend the Grammy Awards Ceremony?"

"Boss, if you can perform at the Grammy with Mohan once, we will have a more exciting point in publicity."

Chen Fang had not answered yet, Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she agreed with Linda's idea: "Boss, I'll just say that. I'll contact the Grammy's organizing committee now."

"Ah, you have to wait until I ask Mo Han's opinion." But Chen Fang's words did not work, and the others unanimously agreed with Qu Xiaoxiao's opinion.

"Boss, I don't just want you to perform on stage," Linda said. "Even Han Xiao's Grammy this time is afraid there are variables. I hope you can write a song for Han Xiao to increase exposure. The best newcomer in the 'American Music Awards' was won by Meghan Terina of Sony's Epic Records. Our power in the United States is a bit weak, and I'm afraid we can't compete with each other."

"Sony's strength has been expanded in Hollywood." Chen Fang turned to ask Zhong Lifang: "We are obviously at a loss in "Fast and Furious 7" we cooperated with Universal Pictures. Is there anything Universal Pictures said?"

In the first half of the year, when Huo Mingda and Linda were in the United States, they proposed cooperation on behalf of Wild Fox Film and Television and Universal Pictures. They invested a total of US$80 million in "Fast and Furious 7", accounting for 50% of the total investment, but only enjoyed 40% of the profits, and there was no subsequent copyright income. However, after the star of this movie, Paul Walker, was in a car accident, Universal Pictures proposed to change the contract. As a Hollywood giant, they used dead movie stars to hype, which is their usual style. The death of Heath Ledger made "Batman: The Dark Knight" exploded directly, Warner Pictures made a fortune, and Paul Walker's unexpected death also allowed Universal Pictures to see this explosive point.

Universal Pictures proposed that it could only distribute 20% of the profits to Wild Fox Company, and that would be the income after removing part of the promotional expenses. If Wild Fox Company does not agree, they can refund $80 million and pay a certain interest according to the normal loan.

Finally, after multiple rounds of negotiations, Wild Fox Company stated that it would give up all overseas copyrights and box office revenues, and Wild Fox Company only needed all the profits from mainland China. Finally, Universal Pictures agreed after discussion that Wild Fox Company owns the largest theater company in China, and unless Universal Pictures wants to give up the Chinese market in the future, it will offend Wild Fox Company to death.

On the surface, this agreement seems to be a loss to Wild Fox Company. After all, it is still unknown how big the box office effect the death of a foreign star can cause in China. Universal Pictures' box office estimate for China is about 800 million yuan, and as an imported film, it is a waste of money, which is just 25% of the box office share.

Zhong Lifang reported: "As compensation, Universal Pictures proposed that we can participate in the production of the subsequent two films of "Fast and Furious", with a maximum investment of 40%, and you can enjoy income based on the actual investment amount. In addition, you can also invest in the film "World of Warcraft" they are preparing to launch, but the investment amount cannot exceed 25%. They are very optimistic about the film adapted from the game "World of Warcraft".

After listening to Zhong Lifang's report, Shen Fang said to Linda: "You communicate with Jeff Hill of Universal Pictures. In principle, we agree with their requirements for changing the contract, but the other party must actively cooperate in the premiere of "Fast and Furious 7". The members of the starring team must come to China to attend a premiere. Secondly, the filming of the last two films of "Fast and Furious" must provide us with the casting rights of several supporting roles."

In fact, it is too early to say that it is a loss now, because after Wild Fox Company obtains all copyrights, it can declare according to the joint venture film and enjoy the box office share of domestic films. In addition, if the promotion and promotion go smoothly, as long as the box office exceeds 1.2 billion, Wild Fox Company can basically guarantee its capital. In addition, if the income from theaters is included, the overall profit can be made. Of course, this is only possible for Wild Fox Company to operate.

Looking at Linda nodding, Shen Fang continued: "There is another point. If Universal Records under Universal Pictures cooperates fully, we can consider handing over Han Xiao's US agent contract to them for this time."

Linda said: "I can communicate with you, but I suggest you better hold a party during your honeymoon in Los Angeles. Jeff Hill has admired you for a long time."

"You can prepare. Han Xiao's trip to the United States should be led by you. You can be familiar with the rules over there." If Linda didn't want to return to Hollywood, Chen Fang would be planning to build a Wild Fox Film and Television American company to take care of.
