Chapter 187

Six days have passed since the 12 day Cannes Film Festival.

"Tuner" directed by Zhuke is undoubtedly the most popular film in the short film competition unit of this film festival.

According to incomplete statistics, the total number of filmmakers, film dealers and tourists in this film festival is more than 97000. In these six days, more than 10000 people have seen "tuner", accounting for 11% of the total.

The popularity of "tuner" can be seen.

It is estimated that after the 12 day exhibition, the total number of viewers of "tuner" will definitely exceed 15000.

The reason for this is that there are not enough movie halls to show "tuner". Otherwise, the number of people watching the film is bound to double.

Don't underestimate the number of 10000 people. So far, the film with the largest number of viewers at Cannes Film Festival is "tuner"!

Yes, Zucker was named "genius director" by the local media and audience.

...

And Christopher Nolan's "fragments of memory" has also attracted much attention!

There are also four days left for the exhibition of memory fragment, which has attracted 1500 people to watch the film, ranking 17th in the most popular film list of the festival;

Interestingly, 68% of the 1500 people watched the film twice;

34% of the audience, three brush the film;

Even more than 120 people watched "memory fragment" five times!

Apart from the plot burning the brain, no one can deny its excellence.

There is a small group of audience, just love director Nolan!

Zhu Keyou remembers that when inception was released, there were many fans all over the world who painted the film twice or thrice, and repeatedly discussed every detail of the film.

There is no doubt that the goal of making a name for Cannes Film Festival has been achieved by Zhuke. The next step is to wait for those film dealers from overseas countries to visit.

May 19.

"It's time to see them, I've almost lost my appetite." Chuck whispered.

"Boss, although our" memory fragment "is popular, it is not a mainstream commercial film after all and can't be sold at a high price《 Not to mention, the price is lower. After all, it's only a 14 minute short film. After those film dealers buy it, they can only sell it to the local TV stations. " Alexander warned.

"I know."

Zucker nodded.

A few days ago, after rejecting some film dealers from various countries and regions, Zhuke finally chose to meet some people and sell the copyright.

In fact, Zhuke doesn't care about the price of copyright sale!

How much can it cost?

What Zhu Ke wants is the overseas distribution channel!

These film dealers from different countries and regions who come to Cannes Film Festival are all local leaders in their region. Even if they can not have a very strong position in Mexico like Carlos foundation, they can not be underestimated. They can reduce some resistance for the construction of overseas channels of Wald film.

Even if this effect is negligible, it is a good start in the end!

In order to express his sincerity, Zhuke chose to negotiate with them in person.

It wasn't long before

"Boss, I'd like to introduce you to the three film dealers: Baron Tobit from England, Mr. Williams from Spain and Miss Zhou from Xiangjiang." Alexander said.

Zhuke got up and said, "nice to meet you three. Please sit down."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wald."

At the sign of Zhuke, everyone took their seats in the presidential suite, and the hotel attendant brought in a few cups of coffee.

Baron Tobit:

He is a little old man with a little hunchback and thin figure. He is an old aristocrat in Britain. The family industry fund is as high as 300 million pounds, involving water, film, finance and other related industries;

Williams Juan:

He is a fat middle-aged man in his 40s, a distant relative of the Spanish royal family. According to the genealogy, he is also the nephew of the Spanish King Alfonso.

Of course, it's the one with a relatively distant relationship.

But even so, he Williams Juan in Madrid, also has a lot of strength, operating in Spain ranked ninth theater;

Miss Zhou

She is 35 years old and from Xiangjiang. She is one of the main directors of Jiahe film's Overseas Distribution Department;

When it comes to Jiahe film, many people's first impression is Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and others, who have worked with Jiahe and are its artists;

Even in these years, Jiahe film industry has declined.

However, it is still one of the best film companies in Xiangjiang with the help of guzhuozi series and Fengyun series. What's more, it also has a large number of cinemas in its hands.

There is no doubt that these three overseas film companies are selected by Zhuke after careful selection.

.......

"I'm very clear about the three of you."

Zhuke solemnly said: "it's to get the overseas screening right of memory fragment, or even directly take the overseas copyright of your region."

Voice down, the three people have nodded.

"Mr. Wald is right. Of course, there's the tuner. Although it's just a short film, it can be changed into a 90 minute long film." Williams Juan added.

"Yes!" Baron Tobit.

"Even if it's on the TV channel, it's definitely a good film that can attract the audience." Miss Zhou said.

Zhuke shook his head and said, "first of all, I'd like to say sorry to the three of you. We, Wald pictures, have signed an overseas distribution contract with paramount. We can't sell you the overseas screening rights of memory fragments."

“.......”

Three people immediately frown.

You should know that their purpose is mainly for "memory fragments". As for the short film "tuner" by Zucker, it's just an accessory.

"However, we can sell you the overseas adaptation copyright of memory fragment; Also, there is the adaptation copyright of the tuner. " He added.

Smell speech, the facial expression of three people present, just improved a lot.

The scene was silent for more than ten seconds

"Mr. Wald, I accept your proposal《 "Memory fragment" and "tuner" are both excellent films. I believe they will be just as wonderful after the Spanish localization. "

The first to speak was Williams Juan.

I have to say, he is very far sighted!

You know, in 2018, the Indian version of "tuner" won the first place in India's domestic box office ranking, with a revenue ratio of more than ten times.

Not to mention memory fragment, which was included in the library of Congress's protected list in December 2017. The Korean version, the Chinese version, the African version and so on, which are adapted from it, have been localized in more than a dozen countries, and their influence is amazing.

As Williams Juan spoke, the other two nodded.

In Baron Tobit's words: "two movies are really good. I don't want to miss them."

After some discussion, Zhuke signed a letter of intent with their representatives.

Of course, the signing of a formal contract is not so fast.

Some details need to be discussed by professionals.

Zucker told them in front of the three that Alexander was responsible for signing the contract.

.......

May 24, morning.

On the last day of the 51st Cannes Film Festival, Alexander, on behalf of Zucker and Wald film, formally signed a copyright transfer contract with Williams and others.

The adaptation copyrights of the two films "tuner" and "memory fragment" were officially sold in Britain, Spain and Xiangjiang, with a total price of US $1.9 million;

To be honest, not much!

For a billionaire like Zhuke, it's a drop in the bucket, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat!

Moreover, the main purpose of Zucker's transfer of adaptation copyright to them is not to make money, but to cooperate with them and lay a foundation for the establishment of overseas distribution channels.

That day, in the afternoon.

Zucker and Christopher Nolan, dressed up and on the red carpet.

Man, today's the time for awards!
