Chapter 427: The Lion Opens His Mouth
Seeing the "unsatisfied" and "impatient" expressions of the two big guys in front of him, Su Che's lips curved into a playful smile.
You know, these theaters have always been very coaxing and coaxing in front of the production side, acting like a master. This is the first time that Su Che has seen him bow to his production side like this.
Su Che's eyes rolled. Since people are coming to beg you to kill him, how could you let such a good opportunity pass?
Su Che smacked his lips and said with an embarrassed expression:
"I'm honored that you two are so confident in my new work. However, when I made this film, I mainly wanted to convey our hot summer culture to the world. Money is only the second priority. I hope that no matter Europe or the In the United States, all states and all theaters can see this movie. If I give you 100% of the screening rights, a considerable number of people will not be able to see this movie, which would violate my Original intention!”
"this……"
Omar and Smith looked at each other, both a little surprised.
Omar thought for a while and continued:
"Mr. Su Che, this is wrong. Although we want to win 100% of the screening rights, this does not mean that we will only screen in our theaters! We will also authorize theaters in remote areas to do our best to Let all Omi viewers see this movie!”
"That's right! This is just a matter of our words. Director Su actually doesn't need to worry about this."
Smith also said with an apologetic smile.
Su Che curled his lips, thought for a while and said:
"Well, I can give you 100% of the on-demand rights, but I want 70% of your on-demand revenue from all channels!"
What? 70%?
Upon hearing Su Che's conditions, Smith and Omar opened their mouths in surprise.
Omar looked confused:
"Director Su... you... you are just talking like a lion. If you take 70%, what do you want us to earn?"
"yes!"
Smith also nodded and said:
"We have been in the theater chain for such a long time, and the on-demand revenue we share with the film producers is only 20 to 30% at most. After all, those are the channels we have developed ourselves. You want 70% now, which is really too much..."
"You think I want too much?"
Su Che looked casual, took out his mobile phone and said:
"Last night, Reuther from Germany and Aibi from the United States called me. They offered to share 70% of my omni-channel revenue to get 100% of the on-demand rights in the market. Since you are not willing, then I Find them..."
With that said, Su Che pretended to make a phone call.
"etc!"
Omar and Smith suddenly became anxious, their expressions changed for a while, and finally Omar said:
"Um... Director Su, we have thought about it, and we are willing to share 70% of your on-demand revenue. Besides, the Ruther you are talking about, they are completely incomparable to me in terms of promotion ability and theater strength! I am Director Su. The best partner in Europe! ”
Smith also quickly said:
"That's right! Director Su, I have more say in the United States than Abid. Only I can help Director Su promote the movie to the whole country!"
"Oh? So you agree?"
Su Che smiled.
"Yes! We can arrange to sign the contract now!"
The two people who were bitter and angry one second became happy and smiling the next second.
"very good!"
Su Che shouted:
"Liu Xin! Come in!"
Soon, Liu Xin came in and signed a contract and many other details with the assistants brought by the two theater owners. The cooperation was quite pleasant!
Although Omar and Smith want to share 70% of Su Che's omni-channel revenue, from their perspective, they have determined that Su Che's "The Last Emperor" will definitely be a hit. Even if Su Che takes 70% of the channel revenue, they You can also make a lot of money.
Before leaving, Smith grabbed Su Che's hand and said to Su Che with an old-hearted expression:
"Director Su! I have long heard that you are amazingly talented. When I saw you today, you are indeed well-deserved! If you encounter anything in the United States in the future, you can always come to me! I, Smith, don't say anything else. You still have some say, even at the top level!"
If Smith swears by it, Su Che will just think that he is bragging.
These old ricers, to a certain extent, are really like the northerners in the hot summer, who like to talk big in public.
Su Che didn't take it seriously either.
In addition to discussing cooperation with Smith and Omar, the two theater owners, Su Che has also reached agreements with theaters in other regions. On the actual release day, it will be premiered simultaneously around the world!
After Su Che confirmed the final job, he released a trailer on Weibo and issued a statement for the first time under the trailer:
"Dear audience friends, the long-awaited "The Last Emperor" will be released globally on June 3!"
When Su Che saw the announcement, the whole world went crazy!
"Wow! Is Su Che's "The Last Emperor" finally going to be released? I'm so looking forward to it!"
Especially in Europe, last time Su Che promoted his debut film "Shanghai Barrier" there, and it received unprecedented praise. Those Europeans were completely obsessed with Su Che, and when they learned that Su Che had actually released a second work, those Europeans Su Che's fans went crazy and sent their family and friends to watch the second film of this super star in the film industry!
Including other regions in foreign countries, the overall attitude is expectation and excitement.
But in the hot summer, as the warm-up gradually faded away, for some reason, voices ridiculing Su Che's new movie suddenly appeared on the Internet.
Countless negative posts were pushed to the front page:
"The Last Emperor? The Last Emperor! What a crappy movie, just that trailer, nothing exciting, boring, what's so good about it!"
"That's right! No one really likes to watch this kind of historical film now, right? Are you crazy? I go to the movies to relax, but you make me a historical documentary, only a fool would watch it!"
...
These trolls became more and more numerous, and there were even voices of a large-scale boycott of Su Che's new movie.
In response to this matter, Su Che held a special meeting.
"The movie hasn't been released yet, and it's okay abroad, but the domestic reputation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. What do you think about this?"
Su Che didn't express his opinion, but just looked at the other members of the crew.
Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds, Liu Xin hesitated, and said:
"Director Su, I think the rhythm of the domestic trolls is a bit wrong this time. Although some trolls who boycotted the new film appeared in Europe after the trailer was released, they were quickly suppressed by normal fans. However, in our Yanxia, there are so many voices of opposition. I don’t think this is just a simple spontaneous reaction from netizens, but it seems to be planned and premeditated!"
After Liu Xin finished speaking, everyone in the crew nodded, and they obviously felt this.
Su Che narrowed his eyes. In fact, in his opinion, he was almost certain that someone was behind this!
"Is it the United States or the Koreans?"
Su Che had some suspects, but without evidence, Su Che couldn’t respond specifically. He had to find someone to investigate afterwards.
