Early in the morning, as soon as Murphy finished washing, Bill rosis came to the door. Besides ordering a breakfast for Murphy, he also brought a bunch of newspapers he could buy in Cannes. [love ↑ go △ small ↓ say △ net wqu]

"sit down." In the suite, Murphy sat at the dining table, enjoying French buns and bacon fried eggs, and looked at a stack of newspapers that Bill rosis had put on the sofa. He was surprised and asked, "can I still buy English and Spanish newspapers here?"

"You can't buy it at ordinary times," bill rosis sat down and simply sorted out the newspapers. "Now it's the Cannes Film Festival, and many famous European newspapers are issuing supplements here, which is also an opportunity for them to show their influence."

He singled out one page of the newspaper supplements.

Murphy put down his knife and fork, took a sip of coffee and said, "is this about planet terrors?"

"That's right." Bill rossis is still smoking newspapers. "It's all about the reviews of our films."

Looking up to see that Murphy's breakfast was almost finished, he picked up a few portions and stuffed them. "If you're interested, you can see for yourself."

"Are they all good reviews?" Murphy, I'm not going to take my coffee

"Will it hit you?" Bill rosis shook his head, did not speak any more, picked up the newspaper and began to read.

This is only Murphy's third film. Although it won't be hit by bad reviews from the media, it's impossible to say that it won't be affected by media reviews.

After flipping through a newspaper, Murphy just glanced at it and threw it aside. This is a newspaper from Spain. He can't understand Spanish at all. He also threw the other newspaper aside. He doesn't know French at all.

Fortunately, the last few pictures are from Fleet Street on the other side of the English Channel. These Murphys can see clearly.

Yesterday, many journalists attended the premiere of "planet of terror", as did many British journalists.

What Murphy saw was a supplement to the Cannes Film Festival in the Daily Telegraph.

"Planet of terror can be a great delight. Murphy Stanton, the director of the film, has put his thoughts into the sky. This film casts out the elements and scenes that the audiences like in the cut film without reservation The film is full of vitality, which mainly lies in the creation of Murphy Stanton's atmosphere and scenes; the story is never a bit of procrastination, and it tells a horrible story straight to the point. The unconventional shooting scenes are very good. This is an unconventional American B-class film, which is not mainstream and unconventional, and its highlights will naturally be different! "

Seeing this, Murphy nodded. The British are still on the road.

He opened another "times" and easily found the content related to "planet of terror".

"The dark yellow background and thick color used by the director make the film exude special charm, and it seems to put people in the story. Violence, blood and sex are just right but not disgusting. It's like a tank running over a blood pool, where there are corpses, blood, decay and violence. Endless imagination is amazing and exciting."

Both media gave "planet of terror" a high score of 5 points!

Then he took away several Spanish and French newspapers he couldn't understand. Murphy took a relatively professional magazine, the famous British magazine sight and hearing. Their special issue also had reporters' comments on the planet of terror.

"It can be said that the plot of this film is empty. Hollywood films have always been like this. The script is too bad to be worse, but the details are well taken care of and there is no lack of artistic sense. In fact, I seldom comment on commercial films, but I like to watch commercial films. After all, the visual effect and the sense of presence can not be brought by traditional art films. It's also a great thing to enjoy literary films, explore human nature, and think about philosophy of life, and watch commercial films while cursing vulgar words. "

"Terror planet is just this kind of commercial film. It focuses on details, and with perfect shooting processing, it is successful. Although a lot of bloody scenes are not real enough, they still give people a sense of pleasure, a sense of motivation, confidence and power to overcome all evils. "

Compared with the two British media that Murphy had just read, sight and hearing only gave a score of 1.

However, it's hard for such a professional magazine to give a film with the selling points of sex, blood and violence more than seven points.

This also shows that the evaluation of "terrorist planet" in the industry will not be very bad.

Putting down the magazine, Murphy looked at the time, stood up and said, "let's go to the eleventh floor."

The negotiations between Miramax and international distributors will be held on the 11th floor one after another. This project is packaged by CAA, and it is normal for bill rossis to participate in the negotiations. However, Murphy does not have to participate in the negotiations, but he made such a request himself, because it does not involve any division of interests - the share he can enjoy has nothing to do with the overseas income of the film - brother Weinstein My brother also agreed to Murphy's participation in the negotiation.It's like running all kinds of programs at Cannes Film Festival with Erica Steinberg. It's a rare experience for Murphy, a rookie.

This is an opportunity to accumulate experience and increase insight. If you miss this opportunity, you still don't know when you will have it in the future.

Out of the elevator and into the corridor on the 11th floor, Murphy asked Bill rosis, "can you read French and Spanish?"

"Understand a little." Bill rossis graduated from a prestigious university.

"No wonder," Murphy nodded, and asked, "what do the French and Spanish media think of the film?"

"The Spanish media are better, and the Spanish movies are also rich in this type of movies. They basically have a relatively positive evaluation," said Bill rossis frankly. "The French media have poor ratings, and most of them use..."

He looks at Murphy and Murphy makes a gesture. Bill rosis goes on, "adjectives like disgust, cruelty, boredom."

Murphy shook his head. "It seems that the French don't like American plasma tablets very much."

Bill rosis opened his hand. "All Hollywood knows."

They walked into a conference room and sat down at Miramax's side of the long conference table. After waiting for a while, Harvey Weinstein and Erica Steinberg came in together. Murphy had just finished greeting them. The other side of the negotiation, Mike Gwen from an Australian distribution company, also entered the conference room.

This is a business negotiation. Time is money. After a few simple greetings, the two sides entered into the formal negotiation. Although Mike Gwen liked the director Murphy and his film very much last night, in the negotiation, it was as if it had never happened before. He did not give up on the issue buyout price.

It's one thing to enjoy a film, and another thing to do business with it.

The negotiations didn't go very well.

"Mike, the four million dollar sale of Australian Copyright is the bottom line for Miramax!"

On Miramax's side, Harvey Weinstein is the leader. This fat Jewish man has a loud voice. "We have shown your company enough sincerity. If we really can't get along with each other, Miramax can only change partners..."

"We are sincere, too!" Mike Gwen frowned. "This movie is really interesting, but do you want to leave us some profit margin? If there is no profit, no company will do it. With such a large population in Australia, how much box office do we need for horror planet to make a profit? "

Harvey Weinstein bit his teeth as if he were cutting meat. "Three and a half million dollars!"

"Harvey..." Mike Gwen wants to speak again, but Harvey Weinstein interrupts him. "Mike, don't forget, it's not just the right to show the cinema, it's also the right to video."

The fat Jewish man suddenly stood up, walked a few steps behind Murphy, held the back of his chair, and cried, "I have to remind you that the director of this film is Murphy Stanton! His last film, the chainsaw, took nearly $7 million at the box office in Australia alone

Murphy did not expect to become a bargaining chip of Harvey Weinstein.

"Your cooperation with us is more than this time!" Harvey Weinstein takes Murphy as a bargaining chip. "Director Stanton is one of Miramax's best partners and one of the most potential young directors recognized by Hollywood. His creative road has just begun, far from reaching the peak!"

His voice is getting higher and higher, "in the future cooperation, we will give priority to your company for all the movies made by Murphy! Under the same conditions, your company must be our partner, which can be written into the contract! "

Murphy looks at Bill rosis, who shakes his head to signal that there is no need for him to speak.

"The electric saw! Planet of terror! From these two films, Mike, you should be able to find the style of Stanton director. " Harvey Weinstein completely took the initiative in the negotiation. "This kind of plasma cut film originated in Australia and has always been the most popular type in the Australian film market. As long as you have high-quality film sources, it's easy to make profits!"

Mike Gerwin frowned deeper, apparently thinking about Harvey Weinstein's words.

Of course, the negotiation was not so easy to reach an agreement. After another half-hour's tug of war, Miramax and the Australian distribution company represented by Mike Gwen finally reached an agreement, and the two sides closed the deal at $3 million.

This includes cinema rights, video and DVD rights, and television rights in Australia.

In the following days, Murphy and bill rossis participated in more negotiations, Miramax also reached agreements with more overseas distributors, and the selling price far exceeded Miramax's investment in this project.
