Chapter 838: Special Case of Movie Box Office Sharing

In fact, news of Wanda’s entry into the cinema chain has been out for a long time. After all, it is not just a matter of entry. The preliminary preparations are very cumbersome. Therefore, everyone has long been accustomed to hearing that the wolf is coming, and now the wolf is really coming. Yes, it's no big deal.

On the other hand, another highlight of this press conference, Ye Ming's new work "Slumdog Millionaire", is very interesting. But these two pieces of news have been heard by everyone for a long time, so they are not sensational news.

Speaking of which, this is just a strong alliance. What should be worrying most is that both reporters and audiences have set their sights on the people from the New Film Alliance.

But the most surprising thing about this press conference is that Ye Ming participated in the interview for Spielberg's new film. Although Ye Ming did not confirm that he would definitely participate, he would not be so easy if he was not certain. It's nonsense. After all, if you say you can't participate in Spielberg's movie, then it will be Ye Ming himself who will be embarrassed.

Therefore, almost all fans, reporters and experts are now certain of one thing: Ye Ming will participate in Spielberg's new film.

At this time, a reporter with great skill found out the name of Spielberg's new work [Minority Report].

What does showing one's face mean? In fact, such a thing is called showing one's face. Real showing one's face can really make people feel that China's civilization is promoted in the international market. This is showing one's face. Why is Zhang Yimou a national master? It's because of his Movies have won international awards one after another, allowing the West to better understand Eastern civilization.

And Ye Ming has now achieved this step by step. Minority Report is undoubtedly a top-notch production in Hollywood, and being able to have a role in it is already quite a feat.

At this time, Chairman Liu couldn't sit still. He came to the door and said straight to the point: "Mr. Ye, what you did in this matter is a bit unethical. You are also a member of our New Film Alliance. Why can't you stop going outside?" Hey, how will this matter make others see us? You have new works, and the New Film Alliance supports every one of your works. If you do this, it will be difficult for me to communicate with the leaders and directors. ?”

Ye Ming said with a smile, "What's the point of being in conflict with each other about this matter? I have joined forces with Wanda Cinema. It doesn't mean that the movie will no longer be released in the New Film Alliance. The New Film Alliance is my root. Wanda, but It’s just a partner. What’s wrong with having one more channel to show your films?”

These words left Chairman Liu speechless. Yes, Ye Ming is not only a director of the New Film Alliance, but also a director and actor. For his own benefit, it seems understandable to join forces with Wanda. of.

Seeing that Chairman Liu was a little unhappy but couldn't say anything, Ye Ming said with a smile: "In fact, everyone understands this matter. Do you know why I cooperate with Wanda? Because Wanda has enough Sincerely, that’s why sharing a house is inevitable. I have my own company and I have so many people to support, so I can’t afford to live with the money. Regarding the movie distribution, Wanda agreed to a 43% share. If I go to the New Film Alliance first, can you agree?"

This question made Chairman Liu even more speechless. He sighed and said: "Mr. Ye is really awesome. If you calculate this correctly, we will definitely suffer the loss of being dumb. That's right. If you If you come to me directly, then under such a situation, we simply say that it is impossible to give you this treatment. On the contrary, after you sign the contract with Wanda, if we do not agree, then will you not agree? How about cooperating with us?"

In this matter, the New Film Alliance has a monopoly from the beginning. Therefore, no matter how the New Film Alliance determines the movie's share, others have no choice. If you don't choose the New Film Alliance, there is no possibility of it being released. But now that Wanda has come out, under such a situation, it has become a competition between two companies.

At this time, there is room for negotiation on the split. Ye Ming smiled and looked at Chairman Liu's face as if he had eaten a bitter gourd and said: "What do you think about this matter? Everyone is in the circle. Chairman Liu should understand what I want. of."

Chairman Liu shook his head helplessly and said: "You are playing with fire in this matter. Last time you, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang played this trick, and ended up being suppressed. Now you are doing this yourself, instead of seeking to be suppressed." Going down?"

Movie sharing involves the interests of many people. Therefore, in such a situation, it is not just a challenge, but what Ye Ming himself does seems to be quite worthy of Chairman Liu. dangerous.

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "How is this possible? If my movie doesn't get a nod from the boss, it may not even pass the script review. I think my colleagues outside may not know the status of my script. I believe Chairman Liu must know about me." Details of the movie.

This is a borderline movie, and the only thing that fails is that the leader nods his head.

Therefore, there is no excuse for suppressing it. My confidence lies in the quality of my scripts and my reputation. This is a special example, and I hope this is a good start."

Ye Ming said this with great confidence. Chairman Liu finally stopped saying anything. Ye Ming's identity and Ye Ming's fame are indeed a talisman, and what Ye Ming said is correct. That movie is indeed There are some marginal passes, and those that cannot be passed are all matters where the leader just says a word.

Seeing his victory at this moment, Ye Ming was not proud. This time it was a coincidence and not a real victory.

Therefore, he said cautiously: "Chairman Liu, don't worry. This movie of mine is just a special example, and the 43% share agreement between me and Wanda is just because of this movie of mine." It's an opening film, and Wanda is just giving some discounts. Think about it, there are big rewards for the opening. If Wanda doesn't have enough sincerity, will I cooperate with them in my film? This is obviously impossible. ,"

If you explain it like this, it will be easier for people to take over the matter.

Although Wanda Cinema has just entered the film market, if it means breaking the rules from the beginning, then at this time, Wang Jianlin will offend too many people.

After all, the movie share involves the interests of many people, so rash changes are impossible. But if it is just like a grand opening reward, then things can still be accepted at this time.

At this moment, Chairman Liu's face finally looked a little better. He nodded and said: "If this is the case, then I think this matter is okay. Mr. Ye will not ask for the same share of the next movie. At that time, it will be very difficult for me to do. There is nothing wrong with you being a director of the New Film Alliance, but you cannot harm the interests of the New Film Alliance."

Ye Ming laughed loudly and said: "Well, Mr. Liu, I really don't have the final say on how my next movie will be divided into shares. After filming [Slumdog Millionaire], I will participate." A movie directed by Spielberg, so it should be regarded as an imported film. They have their own rules on how imported films should be divided. This has nothing to do with me. What I want is It’s just my own salary.”

What he said surprised Chairman Liu for a while, and then he calmed down and said: "It turns out that the rumors outside are true. Mr. Ye is really going to participate in Spielberg's movie. So, congratulations to Mr. Ye for entering Hollywood. It went well."

This time, Chairman Liu sincerely expressed his blessing to be able to enter Hollywood. This is a matter of glory for the country. At this time, Chairman Liu really understood why he had a phone call with his leader when he came. The leader told him to be careful and not to fall out with Ye Ming.

The leader has never said this before. Even if Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen and others are disobedient, they will be repressed directly into the cold palace. But Ye Ming, the leader actually told him to be careful. , this is somewhat surprising.

It can be seen that the people above also attach great importance to Ye Ming. After Chairman Liu left, the next step was a gathering of friends. Na Ying and Princess Wang invited their friends to a gathering. The people who came were all people from the diva circle, and Zhao Wei was naturally one of them.

Liu Jialing also came to the capital to participate in an advertising event, and had a party with Princess Na Ying and others, as well as Lady Zhao, who also participated in the party with great interest.

At the meeting, Na Ying caught Ye Ming and said very seriously: "Yi Zi, you are focusing your main time on movies at this time. What about music? Could it be said that in the past two years, you have not been involved in music? Is it something like this?"

This matter was a concern between friends, so Na Ying asked very directly. Ye Ming also nodded very definitely and said: "This is indeed the case this time. I will focus my main time on movies and music. However, I will not release records in the short term. Maybe there will be a single." I will publish one or two songs, but it will not involve my main energy. If Chinese movies are like a Yangtze River, then Hollywood would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a sea. If I want to enter, I have to be careful."

In order to enter Hollywood, Ye Ming has made a lot of preparations and cannot allow any chance of distraction. Hollywood is said to have the right to fail, but it is really hard to say whether the Chinese have the right to fail. (To be continued)
