Head to head Hollywood 891 author Qian Duxue Full text 3533 words

"House of Flying Daggers" brings together many big-name actors in the Chinese-speaking circle, such as Jin Handsome, such as Liu Tianwang. However, these people are somewhat famous within the Chinese-speaking circle, and they are not well-known outside of that circle. In Europe and the United States, the really decent ones are Laomouzi and International Chapter. It can be seen from the international version of the promotional poster. In the poster, the international chapter is in the center, and the other two male protagonists can only serve as the background board for changing corners. It's just that Miss Zhang, why is she targeting Tang En? It was as if Dunn had slept with her, put up his pants and walked away, turning his face and ignoring her. Director Zhang also noticed that her tone was wrong, and quickly explained: "I met Harvey in Cannes, and I talked about the North American copyright of "House of Flying Daggers"." Tang En hated iron. He was a liar, "Director Zhang, didn't I tell you? He's a liar!" Harvey Weinstein bought the North American copyright of "Hero" at a cost of only $3 million. Then, "Heroes" became Miramax's money-sucking weapon. The box office market split $25 million, the DVD/video market sold another $20 million, plus cable TV broadcasts and subscription-on-demand on various platforms... A "Hero" created $50 million for Miramax. wealth. The new picture company that worked so hard to make the movie only got a buyout fee of $3 million... Director Zhang quickly said: "This time is different, he offered a buyout fee of $15 million!" "Oh That's not bad." Tang En blinked and nodded lightly. $15 million is indeed not a small amount. "House of Flying Daggers" is much worse than "Hero", although the reputation in North America has been very good, and it was even selected as one of the top ten films of the year selected by "Time Magazine". However, the box office figures are the most telling. "House of Flying Daggers" grossed just $11 million in North America. Including the sales of discs and peripheral copyrights, the value that "House of Flying Daggers" can create in North America is about $15 million. Selling the North American copyright at this price is very cost-effective. "Since it's been sold, you are today..." "But something happened to Harvey Weinstein!" Miss Zhang's words suddenly made Tang En realize. That's the reason! After Cannes, Dunn immediately took action and took advantage of the powerful media power to take Harvey Weinstein directly. Miramax also suspended all projects that were temporarily discussed, and made every effort to clear the aftermath of Harvey Weinstein. Even his team went to Warner with Dimen Pictures. The project that was negotiated naturally fell through. In the past life, it was almost the same. After Cannes, Harvey Weinstein's ambitions were undoubtedly revealed, and a fierce conflict broke out with Michael Eisner again, and he insisted on releasing "Fahrenheit 911". Michael Eisner can only imprison Harvey Weinstein's power in Miramax, and put the termination plan on the agenda. Without power, what Harvey Weinstein promised, naturally, he couldn't do it, and he became a "liar". Fortunately, Laomouzi's reputation is really loud, and the producer Jiang Zhiqiang has a very good relationship with Sony Classics. Back then, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had a very pleasant cooperation. "House of Flying Daggers" was sold to Sony Classics for $15 million and distributed by Sony Pictures. However... the Sony Pictures of this life is not the Sony Pictures of the previous life. Buying out the North American distribution rights for a film for $15 million is too risky! Not to mention that Sony Classics is just a very inconspicuous small independent film company under Sony Pictures, even Sony Pictures, it is difficult to come up with such a large sum of money now! "Cough cough..." Tang En finally understood the meaning of Miss Zhang's little resentful eyes. Did he rely on himself for his feelings? He said: "Even if Miramax cancels the cooperation, there are so many independent filmmakers in the United States that they will not reject them collectively, right? Director Zhang, your film... is very popular in the United States, especially the rental market of video discs. If I remember correctly, Netflix alone, "Hero" has been lent more than 700,000 times." "There are several independent filmmakers who contacted us, but their prices... The highest price is only 800 yuan. Ten thousand dollars." Director Zhang shook his head. Having taken advantage of the "Hero" behavior, he has learned how to fight for the best interests. Take a turn at the Tribeca Film Festival and introduce "House of Flying Daggers" to every American filmmaker. The highest bidder gets it! Miss Zhang suddenly popped out another sentence, "Focus Pictures only asked $5 million, so you can die!" Focus Pictures is an independent film company under New Universal. Dunn has a black line on his forehead. your sister! As far as the quality of "House of Flying Daggers" is concerned, $8 million is over, $5 million is just right! In North America, "House of Flying Daggers" can create a total value of 15 million US dollars. It is impossible to give all the profits to the producers, right? Is the issuer not making money? Free service? How can there be such a good thing! Harvey Weinstein was able to make a $15 million buyout because he was carried away by the "Heroes" victory. In the previous life, after the release of "House of Flying Daggers", the North American box office was only 11 million US dollars, which made Harvey Weinstein calm down. Originally, Harvey Weinstein also agreed with another Chinese director, Kai Ge Chen, to buy out the North American copyright of "The Promise" for $5 million. As a result, the box office failure of "House of Flying Daggers" poured cold water on him. Knowing that American audiences were tired of Chinese martial arts, they could only act as a liar again and refused to buy "The Promise". In any case, "House of Flying Daggers" did not sell at a high price, whether it was Miramax or Sony Classic... There are reasons behind Dunn. Furthermore, "House of Flying Daggers" encountered difficulties in its distribution, and Tang En always felt that he had to help, otherwise, he would not be able to pass the psychological barrier. He really didn't make any contribution to Chinese movies, he can help a little bit! "In this way, I booked a suite on the top floor. Let's talk about it in detail. There are too many people here." Dunn's current location is the Fukai Hotel in Tribeca District. The main organizer of the Tribeca Film Festival. Director Zhang couldn't help but be stunned. too many people? Going to the penthouse? His brain flashed and he reacted instantly. He glanced at Miss Zhang hesitantly, and asked tentatively, "Zi Yi, why don't you accompany Director Walker to... chat?" Miss Zhang blushed and bit her lip. . But found that Dunn saw an acquaintance, the famous Hollywood actress Julian Moore, smiling and nodding at her. Not to mention Julian Moore, the smile on his face is like a blooming flower, as bright as possible. It's just that there is always a sense of compliment in this smile. Miss Zhang gritted her teeth, nodded at Director Zhang, then took a deep breath and said solemnly to Tang En: "Mr. Walker, can you really help us solve the issue of "House of Flying Daggers"? This is really a good movie!" Tang En turned his head and apologized first: "I'm sorry, I saw an acquaintance." Then, I felt that the expressions of Director Zhang and Miss Zhang...it seemed a little out of words. weird. For a while, Tang En couldn't find anything, so he followed her words: "There will always be a solution. Didn't I say it before, if you encounter difficulties, you can come to me directly." Miss Zhang didn't believe it. ! If you were really willing to help, Focus Pictures would only offer a buyout price of $5 million? snort! Still not wanting benefits? Even Miss Zhang, who is familiar with the United States, thinks so, and Director Zhang, who knows nothing about the United States, is even more convinced. After all, the rumored Dunn... is like thunder! "Then let's go!" Miss Zhang seemed to be going out of her way, blushing slightly, and walked towards the elevator. But Tang En didn't move, with a strange look on his face, "Director Zhang, are you not going up?" Miss Zhang almost exploded, what was he doing? Pervert you! "He won't go!" Miss Zhang couldn't turn her head back, her tone was not good, and she firmly refused. Tang En frowned, puzzled. I have met Miss Zhang several times before, and every time she is gentle like water, she has the graceful charm of an oriental woman. What happened this time? Got gun pills? Director Zhang hurriedly winked at her and explained with a forced smile: "I'm really sorry I have already made an appointment with me, at this moment... I really can't spare any time, why don't I ask Zi Yi to come with you? Talking is the same." Dunn felt a little unhappy in his heart. But it's not too hard. He knows the difficulties of a foreigner in the American film industry. Every filmmaker and every producer must deal with it carefully, and everyone represents an opportunity. "Well, you can call me if you have anything!" Dunn took out a personal business card from his arms and handed it over. Upon receiving the business card, Director Zhang was overjoyed and looked excited. Looking at Miss Zhang, he praised and encouraged him a bit. Well done! have a future! Miss Zhang took a deep look at the private business card, her eyes also showed a bit of burning heat, and nodded firmly at Director Zhang. Dunn didn't care about the communication between the eyes of the two. This scenario is all too common. Every time he gave his personal business card to an ordinary person, the other person almost always had such a grateful expression, which was normal. ... The Fukai Hotel has a total of six floors. However, on the roof of the sixth floor, there is another layer of extremely luxurious suites! It belongs to the upstairs layout. Here, there are swimming pools, open-air balconies, and even the top Fouquet restaurant. This is the essence of Fukai Hotel. As Dunn, of course, he will not encounter a "full house" situation. He has already reserved a set of the most luxurious presidential suits. Miss Zhang had been to the Fukai Hotel several times before, but this was the first time she had gone to the top floor above this one. There is bound to be some throbbing in my heart. Also deeply felt Dunn's distinctive identity and aloof social class. Thinking of this, Miss Zhang's psychological burden was much less and she was much more relaxed. The tension is gone too. Until I heard Dunn's words. "Go to the balcony and sit." Tang En was speaking in Chinese, and Miss Zhang was immediately dizzy. Go to the balcony to do it? Omg!
