Chapter 458 Turning against others
Is it really true that Rong Guang is not worried about the cost-recovery issue of "The Martian"? That is absolutely impossible. If the box office is too dismal, it will be very shameful.
However, the domestic box office market is only so big, with a total of hundreds of millions. Therefore, overseas markets are definitely needed, especially the large ticket warehouses in European and American countries.
However, so far, overseas development has not been very smooth. In addition to the private territories in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, there are only some old friends in Asia, Africa and Latin America left. But relying on those half-sold, half-free buyout prices? I really can’t afford more than 10
A blockbuster with an investment of 100 million can only be said to be better than nothing!
As for other overseas film producers? Because Rong Guang refused Hollywood investment and did not choose Hollywood's blond Yangma, those film producers chose to wait and see. After all, this is a large project worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and no one dares to invest in an all-Chinese cast.
A sci-fi special effects blockbuster adventure.
This has led to a somewhat embarrassing situation - if you haven’t made a box office in the mainland, how can our overseas film studios dare to buy it? Even if you have a box office hit in the mainland, it may not be in line with the tastes of European and American audiences, right? Since the future is unclear, then
Why are we promoting The Martian?
It is very frustrating. Because they do not have access to global mainstream media and global distribution systems, overseas audiences are almost unaware that Rong Guang has a new work, let alone the major science fiction production "The Martian".
Therefore, this "Sungate incident" is equivalent to an advertisement for "The Martian" on a global scale.
Although Rong Guang said at the press conference that "propaganda failed," no one would take it seriously. It is obvious that the "Sungate Incident" was a propaganda, and it was a very successful propaganda.
No one would feel disgusted with such a promotional activity. Including many people in the circle, they were all shocked by Rong Guang. They didn’t expect that the promotion of the film could be done like this? Could it actually be done on Father-in-law Sun’s head?
?
At the same time, movie fans in many countries were surprised to find that in addition to Hollywood, China Entertainment Film also had science fiction blockbusters worth hundreds of millions of dollars? And it was shot by a young Chinese director? Can they really make good science fiction blockbusters? Isn’t China very poor?
Are you lagging behind? You won’t end up selling sheep’s meat to dogs, right?
But having curiosity is a good thing. At least many overseas film producers come to inquire about prices, so curiosity is also a need!
Even the inquiries were too aggressive, and the buyout prices were almost all bargain prices. Faced with the meaningless bargaining, Rong Guang was fed up. He simply decided to use guaranteed agents.
.
In other words, those distributors basically have no risk, and at least they earn the minimum guarantee fee. If the film fails, the film will lose money. Of course, if it is a big hit, the film will make more money. Generally speaking,
He said that including various fees, Xiongbaizhi can get about 15% to 20% of the local box office.
In addition, it has signed a gambling agreement with Netflix.
If the North American box office does not reach 50 million U.S. dollars, Xiongbaizhan can only get the basic 1 million U.S. dollars; if it exceeds 50 million U.S. dollars, he can get 4 million U.S. dollars. If it exceeds 100 million U.S. dollars, he can get 10 million U.S. dollars. If it can exceed
200 million, then you can get 25 million!
In addition, the sharing is also in a stepped manner, and Xiongbaizhi can receive up to 15% of the rental sales within two years!
It should be said that this condition is quite generous. In other words, Rong Guang has become the major shareholder of Netflix. This is the importance of mastering channels!
Domestic investment promotion activities are also in full swing. "The Martian" is considered to be a complete hit, and advertisers are already coming to the door in an endless stream. That steady stream of income, let alone other aspects, can at least promote the film.
cover the cost.
Rong Guang is not stingy, he spends a lot of money on major media. Suddenly, "The Martian" has become well-known among women and children in China, and many fans are looking forward to the release of the film...
…
Wang Xiaoxi rushed into Rong Guang's office angrily, and saw him crossing his legs and masturbating the cat. He couldn't help but get angry: "Director Rong, it's about to be released. When will you arrange for us to watch the finished film?"
Rong Guang said happily and perfunctorily: "It's almost, it's still in post-production. Haha."
"You still dare to lie to me? Ugh——!" Wang Xiaoxi wiped her tears in grievance, "You have already got the dragon mark, and you still have the nerve to say it's not finished?"
"Do you understand the pursuit of excellence? I want to learn from you astronauts. Hahaha!"
Rong Guang's brain is not flooded. Will he still submit the film to the space agency for review? Now he is fire and theft prevention Wang Xiaoxi. The soft girl of the space agency is really difficult to deal with.
"Wow——!" Wang Xiaoxi was so angry that she trembled all over, and started to cry in front of Rong Guang, "I just know that you have been lying to us! Wow——! I'm sorry for the bureau, there must be someone inside.
Stop the mess. I shouldn’t have believed you! Wow——!”
The commotion in the office immediately attracted Ning Xueqing and the others. They were busy comforting: "Xiao Xi, ignore him. People who make movies are like this, there is no truth in their mouths."
Listening to these words, Rong Guang felt something was wrong. He seemed to have become a scumbag?
"Haha, Xiao Xi, I guarantee that there will be no problem with the video. I guarantee that all the girls and boys at your space agency will be satisfied."
"Then why don't you let me see it?" Wang Xiaoxi glared.
"That's to protect you and care for your comrades." Rong Guang laughed. "This is a film that celebrates the indomitable and great spirit of astronauts. It is a milestone in space-themed movies. If any of you have a bad idea, I should
Who do you listen to?"
"Bad idea? Do you underestimate us so much?" Wang Xiaoxi suddenly became furious, "
"It's not that I want to look down on you. Look at those idiots in your bureau. They can't even coax a girl, right? They deserve to be a bunch of singles. Can I leave the movie to them? Will I feel relieved?"
"You spread rumors! You slander! Who said they don't understand? They know how to coax me! How are you like me?"
"That's because you have short-sightedness! You have been in the monk temple for a long time, and you can treat every scumbag you meet as a treasure. You have never met an outstanding man like me, have you? Hahaha!"
"Rongguang, you shameless Hundan. I'm not done with you anymore—!"
"..."
Such a quarrel will definitely lead to nothing.
Wang Xiaoxi was still too naive. She had believed the lies of a certain evil boy before. She didn't know that the group of souls in the entertainment industry were all the same. Putting up their pants...ahem, they would not recognize anyone if they turned against each other!
