Chapter 774 Focus (Fourth Update Today)

A serious female consciousness movie will not disgust male audiences.

While Chen Qi was hyping "Sweetheart", he couldn't help but think of domestic films in the future.

Commercial films are essentially serving the public and finding the greatest common divisor. But domestic films don't know who they learned from, they started to divide the crowd, started to provoke gender confrontation, started to play annoying marketing, and successfully drove away batches of audiences.

Gives people a feeling of discomfort of "I spend money to be scolded".

The market is sluggish!

The popularity of "Sweetheart" has been built up. Although it hasn't reached the closing ceremony yet, distributors have already flocked to it.

The presidents of large companies will not come in person, but only send a representative. There are many small and medium-sized companies with a mentality of picking up leaks. If this film is really an independent film, they may really pick up a leak.

It's a pity that this film was made by Chen Qi, and he doesn't lack that little money.

A company he has never heard of offered hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy the copyright, which made him laugh. In this kind of thing, large companies are more reliable, especially acquaintances.

Columbia's president Price was in Los Angeles, and he sent a film purchasing manager over. The manager was sincere and asked first: "Mr. Chen! Do you want to sell the copyright or go to the theaters?"

"We have sold enough copyrights, and we want to try the theaters."

"Oh, sure! Agency distribution is very mature in Hollywood. Do you have any specific conditions?"

"It's very simple. Agree on the proportion of the agency fee to the box office and the maximum amount of the publicity and distribution fee!"

The manager heard it and was indeed an expert as rumored.

If you don't agree on the proportion and the maximum amount, Hollywood distributors can cheat you to death. The distribution link is still relatively clean. The darkest part is production, and the investors are cheated clean - the same is true in China, and coal bosses have been cheated a lot in the past.

"How much do you want as an agent?"

"20%!"

"Since you know the American market, you should know that we generally charge 30%, or even more."

"Sweethearts won't make much money at the box office. Ten million is good enough. It's just a small business. I have another big production coming up and I also want you to be my agent... Oh, by the way, I also brought your customized script this time. I want to establish a friendly and long-term cooperative relationship."

"This is beyond my authority."

"I won't make it difficult for you. I just happened to be going to Los Angeles. I'll talk to Price in detail. I'll notify Park City of the results, and then you can contact my people."

"That's the best. I also hope we can establish a long-term friendship!"

The manager shook hands with him again and stood up to say goodbye.

…………

The Sundance Film Festival will close on the 28th.

The Golden Globe Awards will be held on the 24th. Chen Qi will go to Los Angeles to participate and may not return to Park City. Because he has been there for a few days, the popularity of Sweethearts has been hyped up. It is a nine-tenths chance that he will win the award. Just let Mou Dundi take it.

Sundance is too weak, and the big guys are still in Hollywood.

So, Jiang Zhiqiang, Hunter, Mou Dundi, Uma Thurman and others continued to stay in Park City, while Chen Qi, Ling Mei and Bob Shea hurried to Los Angeles on the 23rd.

"Ah! This sweet air!"

"It smells like burnt food from the rich area!"

In the hotel room, Chen Qi stood at the window and took a deep breath. Compared with the previous air pollution, this time he felt much better.

Downstairs, there was a lot of traffic, fashionable men and women, and the iconic curly hair of the 80s.

A sports car sped past, and the police car behind it chased after it. There were also two people with Asian faces walking out of a supermarket. He thought they were Chinese immigrants at first, but after careful observation, he thought they were Korean.

"The number of Chinese and Korean Americans in the United States is about the same now. In a few years, "Koreans on the Roof" will be released!"

"If I make a movie about race, I can try for an Oscar again."

Chen Qi is not just talking nonsense, he has been thinking about the next award-winning film.

As for winning awards, has anyone won the gold medal purely based on artistic quality? Of course there are.

Are there any who have ascended to the highest stage with political elements? Of course there are. And comparing the number of the two, perhaps the latter is even more.

Starting from "Life is Beautiful", Chen Qi never wanted to follow the old path of the fifth generation and shoot feudal China or rural China. He likes to focus on the present, look forward to the future, and shoot something modern.

For example, the immigration craze.

More and more Chinese immigrate to the United States. The cultural barriers, differences in beliefs, prejudices, integration into American society or inability to integrate into society they have created are all good materials.

Why do you always focus on those "dirty things"? Especially those "dirty things" deliberately shown to foreigners.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Sir, do you have clothes to iron?"

There was a knock on the door outside, Chen Qi opened the door and said, "Yes, a suit!"

He took out the suit he was going to wear tomorrow, thought about it, went out and knocked on the door next door, and said, "Sister, do you want your dress ironed?"

"Oh, sure!"

Ling Mei also came out with a dress, Chen Qi took out a few banknotes and reminded her, "This is what we will wear to the Golden Globe Awards tomorrow, make sure it is ironed and not damaged."

"We have served many stars, please rest assured!"

The waiter took the tip and the clothes and left happily.

"I can see that things related to labor in the United States are not cheap." Ling Mei expressed her feelings.

"Well, the Soviet Union has made an indelible contribution..."

Chen Qi smiled, and said, "Sister, Bob and I will go out to see the video lease shop, do you want to be together?"

"I'm convenient?"

"Of course, it is convenient, but you may see something that violates public order and customs, and keep me secretly, otherwise I will be shot by rogue sins."

"So serious?"

Ling Mei stunned, and immediately laughed: "But you will not be shot, and you will be hopeless at most."

"It's better to shoot! I am the biggest dream."

Chen Qiping was fine with her when she was fine. Ling Mei already knew that this product wanted to enter the department, like to drink high or crushed, there is a red button in Hong Kong to send Coca -Cola, "Tang Dynasty bold girl", and a bunch of younger sisters ... Mowing

..............

A block in northern Los Angeles.

A newly opened video rental shop is very eye -catching. The main body is a blue facade decoration with a large brand hanging on it. The word "focus" is particularly prominent, and there is a strange logo.

If there is the same crossing person, you can see at a glance, this logo is very similar to Weibo.

The "Focus Company", which was jointly invested by Chen Qi and Bobs, was a company that focused on the distribution of video tapes, not production. The production business is all over the oriental company.

The area of ​​this shop is not small, with the poster of "Fifty Loves" at the door, as well as the whiteboard, which is written with popular movies.

Another publicity sticker:

"Please return the film as scheduled, otherwise you will have a late money!"

"Our store launches a monthly monthly member, only $ 9 per month, watch the film at will!"

"The latest arrival of" Stunning ", how does a hot girl become a zombie little ..."
