Chapter 428

"Of course, you can go to my office." Han Fei made a free gesture. At this time, it was not him who was worried.

John was obviously not optimistic about the results of Chris's phone call. He continued to persuade him, "in fact, I don't think it's necessary to wait any longer. Although the expenses of other companies may be lower than ours, our lion gate is the most suitable for you."

"Why don't you give Chris more time? Maybe there will be a miracle?" Han Fei shrugged and half joked.

John shook his head as if mocking: "miracles? No, I don't believe in miracles."

Almost half an hour later, Chris came back, but it was obvious that his face was not relaxed and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

"Sorry, I've been waiting so long. Maybe we can talk again?" Chris said in a confident voice.

Han Fei was interested: "OK, no problem."

"In fact, as far as I know, Lion Gate film charges 28% of the distribution fee outside Hollywood, and the producer also needs to pay a certain deposit. If the box office revenue does not cover the distribution fee, the deposit will not come back, and we can give 37% without any deposit."

As soon as Chris finished, John's face changed. He just wanted to talk, and heard Chris say, "moreover, we will open the peripheral revenue to share with you, such as DVD, Internet and TV licensing fees. We can give you 40% of this proportion."

"Are you crazy?" John blew up and roared at Chris. He was no longer calm.

This time, Chris stared at him coldly: "crazy is better than dying immediately!"

"It's unreasonable. Do you know what you're doing? If you break the rules, you'll be despised, asshole!"

In fact, John doesn't care whether this business can be negotiated or not. It's just an extra profit for the company and a bonus for him. However, Chris's behavior of breaking the rules is likely to bring hope to other Huaxia film companies.

Once Han Fei has made a lot of profits, can other film and television companies not be jealous? In the view of all Hollywood film companies, the global film market is their ticket warehouse. Do you want to make money from the North American market? Dream, even if there are films that can really attract North American audiences, as long as they master the distribution channels, only the distributor can make money in the end. As for the producer? Just give them three melons and two dates. Didn't they always do that before?

Chris was crazy and would make such a concession. John suddenly regretted coming to China. Obviously, he became the last straw to crush Chris and the boss's line of defense behind him.

If he had seen "wandering earth", John would not hesitate to launch this meaningless competition for distribution rights, and even reach a private settlement with Chris to exert pressure on Han Fei.

However, at this moment, some pictures of "wandering the earth" are still coming to mind. Obviously, the film is worth making some concessions, which is why Chris threw out so many attractive conditions recklessly.

"Sorry, please give me some time. I need to communicate with the boss." John took a deep breath and glared at Chris before leaving.

In this half hour, Chris has been persuading Han Fei to sign a contract with him: "in fact, Lion Gate film can no longer offer more preferential policies than us. You know, they no longer make money by independent film distribution. You are competitors. Only we can wholeheartedly help you develop the North American film market."

"Don't get excited, Mr. Chris. I already know the sincerity of your company. But since Mr. John came all the way, I naturally want to give him a chance, don't I?" Han Fei's attitude towards Chris was a lot gentler. The foreigner finally showed some sincerity.

A quarter of an hour later, John came back. He shrugged helplessly: "Mr. Han Fei, I'm sorry, the company didn't agree with my plan, but I still hope you can hand over the North American Distribution Agency of [wandering earth] to us. You should believe in our distribution capacity."

"I'm sorry, Mr. John. I'm afraid I can't promise you." Han Fei can only make an sorry gesture to him and reach out to Chris.

Facing Han Fei's outstretched right hand in front of him, Chris was not happy at all, and even had a sense of frustration. However, at this point, he can only accept it.

"Mr. John, it's better to visit the capital first. I'll arrange a professional guide to show you the oriental culture." Han Fei sent an invitation before seeing John off.

In fact, Han Fei defended Chris. You should know that Chinese films have suffered heavy losses in this regard before. For example, the hero of the national division was bought out by Miramax company for $23 million. However, in fact, Miramax company did not fully pay the money, and "hero" was preparing to attack the Oscar, As a result, Miramax had a bunch of films that hit the Oscar at that time, and "hero" was abandoned so that it was officially released in North America two years later.

Their strategy is to crowd out competitors with high prices, and then they can take advantage of Chinese producers at will.

"Of course, I'd love to." it turns out that this sentence is also applicable to crooked fruit people.

In the next few days, Han Fei began to lead the legal team to negotiate with Chris. In fact, the authorized agency contract is not complex and does not need such a big battle. However, after all, the laws of the United States are different from those of China. In fact, Chinese people suffer too much in this regard. Han Fei naturally has to guard against it.

Finally, after the signing of the agreement, Chris hurried home with his female secretary and legal affairs. Time is extremely precious for everyone.

Soon, "wandering earth" began to be widely released in Southeast Asian countries, and the response was extremely enthusiastic. In recent years, China is becoming stronger and stronger, but there are still many disputes. The emergence of "wandering earth" also made many Southeast Asian countries see the epitome of China's science and technology.

From the perspective of the leopard, the strength of the United States is not only military, but also cultural. People in many countries even believe that the so-called zone 51 contains alien black technology developed by the United States.

Of course, these are just a small fuss, which really makes netizens pay attention to the overseas box office of "wandering earth" and the popularity of "wandering earth" in the Korean market.

In just one month after its release, the box office of "wandering the earth" exceeded 3 billion won, equivalent to more than 17 million yuan. Although it looks small, you know, it broke the historical box office record of South Korea.

Just as netizens cheered, another more powerful news came, "wandering earth" has quietly landed in Japan.
