Chapter 278 What? Reject Paimon? Go Crazy!

The overseas releases of Huaxia’s films are basically buyouts. Except for a few popular movies released in China, the buyout prices are not bad, other buyout prices are relatively low, and since the past few years, Huaxia’s movies have run The price of overseas distribution is getting lower and lower. Even a film that sold 30 million box office domestically has a buyout price of only 2 million dollars...

No way, who made Huaxia movies more and more unsatisfactory in the past two years?

Five or six years ago, China's Kung Fu movies went abroad and could carry some box office revenue and win glory for the country. However, with the gradual rise of Xiao Xianrou in the past few years, and the old Kung Fu stars getting older and turning behind the scenes, many so-called Kung Fu movies have changed. After becoming a "dance film", Chinese films began to gradually decline overseas.

Five or six years ago, when overseas movie fans talked about Chinese movies, they were all about Chinese Kungfu, but in the past two years, when they talked about Chinese movies...

What?

Has the big iron rod been replaced by an embroidery needle?

If you punch lightly, are you sure you can kill someone?

Some people in the circle just kept shaking their heads after mentioning this, criticizing and criticizing, mourning their indisputability and lamenting their indisputability...

But what can be done?

With the gradual rise of the traffic era, the Internet has become more developed year by year, and batches of small fresh meat have appeared in front of the big screens, attracting boys and girls. , After blowing it up, he also attacked other movies, saying that other movies are rubbish, not worthy of giving us so-and-so shoes, and even some younger fans think that the stars of those kung fu tough guys are too ugly, uncles should be like uncles, filming What kind of kung fu movie, wouldn't it be good to be the background board of our idol?

These remarks are extremely common on the Internet!

Therefore, in this traffic environment, the new generation of kung fu stars did not show up...

Nonsense, everyone who has good looks is going to be a fan of Little Fresh Meat Circle, who still suffers so much to make that so-called kung fu movie? Kung Fu movies, are Kung Fu movies so good? How many people were injured in Kung Fu movies?

But the Kung Fu movie that I really wanted to make but didn't have good-looking actors couldn't get the support of the company, the plot was too dry, and it would lose money even if it was released...

So in the past few years, Huaxia's movies have gradually begun to show a taste of deformity, and no one knows how long this deformity will last...

Perhaps this is the beginning and end of an era.

These are fate.

Paramount's price for "The Man From Earth" was not high, only three million dollars...

Three million U.S. dollars, equivalent to about 20 million yuan.

This price is actually acceptable to other companies. After all, most of the first films sent overseas are not to earn box office but to gain international presence and fame. This is also the general trend of domestic films...

But Lu Yuan didn't accept the price but rejected it outright.

Although more than 20 million yuan is not a small amount, Lu Yuan feels that it is of little significance.

Although he loves money, he really has no intention of selling it cheap.

Unless a part of the share is added on the premise of buying out, it is impossible for Lu Yuan to accept it.

Paimeng was surprised by Lu Yuan's rejection.

Although the price is not high, but as a small company that is not well-known in China, the price I am giving you is quite generous. Why do you refuse me?

Are you sick?

into?

Why should I share it with you?

Just because you're a pianist and you wrote the theme for California Nights?

You may be able to be arrogant in China, but you are out of China...

What are your movies?

Naturally, it was impossible for Paimon to agree to Lu Yuan's.

This put James, the middleman, in an embarrassing situation for a while. He wanted to help Lu Yuan with activities, but Chinese movies are generally like this in overseas markets. Paramount did buy out several Chinese hits at a high price in the early days. For movies, it's a pity that Pai Meng lost money to his grandma's house at the box office, and even the top management directly asked the responsible manager to resign...

James persuaded Lu Yuan to sign the contract at first, but after hearing Lu Yuan's decisive voice on the phone, James knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless.

This man was determined not to accept the buyout.

Of course, James didn't think that Lu Yuan was wrong, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, right?

He felt that a person as talented as Lu Yuan must have extraordinary pride in his heart.

This pride does not allow him to bow his head.

He appreciates Lu Yuan's pride, but...

In this general environment, is your pride good or bad?

James silently closed his eyes.

This incident made him a little embarrassed in the middle...

…………………………………

The box office of films on the 9th began to decline to varying degrees.

"Future You" fell by 3 million, with a box office of 7 million a day.

"Madden Alien" fell by two million, and the box office of five million a day...

"The Man From Earth" had a relatively large decline, directly falling by 5 million, but compared with the 25 million box office, this decline rate is actually relatively slow.

Of course, the movie with the best box office decline is "The Stray Pig".

The decline in "Stray Pig" is very small, only 250,000 box office...

But his downward curve is scary. After all, falling from 500,000 to 250,000 is really falling off a cliff, really...

amazing!

Yes, this movie that followed the trend of "The Wanderer" did not follow the box office results of "The Wanderer". It only took 250,000 at the box office that day, and it got worse and worse. It directly became a bad domestic movie...

The box office of this data has indirectly indicated that this movie is over, and the major theaters have also released this movie together with the other two movies...

On the 10th, it was directly replaced by two other domestic suspense films "The Cat Man" and "Friday".

There is no suspense for "The Man From Earth" to win this box office battle, and there is even a feeling of loneliness that I am standing on a high mountain overlooking you...

The 10th is Monday.

Of course, after the arrival of Monday, all the movie box office data fell again, and this time the decline was generally more severe.

"The Man From Earth" slipped to 16 million at the box office, and directly slipped to 9 million...

"Future You" dropped by 4 million box office to 3 million...

"Madden Alien" only fell by one million, and the daily box office has begun to overtake "Future You".

This made me feel comfortable for a long time. After all, this "Mad Alien" was produced by their company. In a sense, they defeated a Hollywood movie and gave them a sense of accomplishment...

Director Xu Qifeng is as happy as a fool. Almost every day when the box office comes out, he shows off all kinds of documentaries during filming on Weibo and exposes many ups and downs, sadness and difficulties, and from time to time he talks about the director's thoughts on variety shows... …

Of course, whether it was intentional or not, he would not talk about "The Man From Earth".

after all……

He is still operated by humans, and this movie is directly inhuman.

Toka's box office finally came out.

As of the early morning of the 11th, "Future You" has earned 72 million box office, while "Mad Alien" has earned 45 million!

As for The Man From Earth?

Everyone was shocked speechless after seeing this data!

Breaking through 100 million!

right!

Directly exceeded 100 million!

The total box office for the ten days, no, from the afternoon of the 5th to the 11th, in about five and a half days, the total box office broke 106 million!

An average of 20 million box office per day!

Although this data is nothing during those peak box office seasons, you have to know that this is April, not May!

Is this score against the sky?

It's like a hole in the sky.

While everyone was paying attention to the movie, a Weibo account named "I am a little bird" broke the news.

This incident directly brought "The Man From Earth" to the forefront...

"What? Er Gouzi turned down Hollywood?"

"Is this true or not? The global distribution rights of "The Man From Earth" didn't work out?"

"Really or not, is this fake news?"

"It must be fake news. After all, Huaxia Films finally had the opportunity to go abroad. Who would give up this opportunity, unless their brains are broken!"

"Yeah, a genius like Er Gouzi would definitely not do such a stupid thing!"

"I agree too."

"Reported, fake news!"

This article was titled "Lu Yuan refuses to authorize Paimeng, and sticks to his so-called pride!" After it was sent out, all netizens looked dumbfounded.

Of course, netizens felt that this Weibo was completely farting!

How could Huaxia Films refuse the opportunity to go abroad? And it was Paimeng who came to the door to save face!

This is such a good thing, how could Lu Yuan refuse, everyone knows what going abroad means...

After a movie goes abroad, if the next one hits the box office in China, it will not be difficult to go abroad.

After all, once there is a cooperation, there will be a second cooperation. Isn't this how the Huajin Company started?

so……

Netizens thought it was fake news that caught people's attention.

But……

Afterwards, many well-known media, including "China Entertainment Weekly" and "Movie Daily", successively released a piece of news that Lu Yuan rejected Paimeng...

After this news was released, netizens thought Lu Yuan was out of his mind!

reject?

You turned down such a good opportunity?

what are you thinking? Don't you want to gain international fame?

are you crazy?

At noon on the 12th, Lu Yuan's Weibo went viral again. Countless self-righteous Weibo celebrities started pointing Lu Yuan on Lu Yuan's Weibo...

"Lu Yuan, don't be arrogant about your talents, if you miss this opportunity, there will be no such store!"

"We all recognize that you are very talented, but you have to connect with the world. You can't stubbornly think that you are the whole world!"

"I don't know what the content of the contract is, but I know it will only benefit you and not harm you!"

"Lu Yuan, I have always admired you. You can't be confused at the critical moment. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time. Do you know the history of Joaquin's rise?"

Such remarks came one after another, and countless posts were posted on Lu Yuan's Weibo.

It seems that overnight these people have become strong people who understand management, standing at the highest point of reason to guide the country.

When Fatty Wei saw these pointers, he just smiled coldly and spit.

"Short-sighted!"

"You don't understand Ah Yuan at all!"

"Ayuan never wanted to be a company comparable to Tianyu and Joaquin..."

"His eyes are on the whole world!"

"Pimon is really awesome!"

"But in the future, will my "remote" be worse?"

Dogleg No. 2 Shen Zhiwei also nodded, and was even a little angry. If Lu Yuan hadn't stipulated that no one should interfere in this matter, he would have liked to post on Weibo and have a fight with these moralists!

Could it be that what I did, Mr. Lu, was wrong?

A bunch of fools!

Pooh!
