Chapter Seventy-Six: Coming to the Theater


Weinstein Films, representatives from both sides of the line."

Mr.

Weinstein, thank you for being here in person."

Yang Xuewu said politely."

Just call me Harvey........"

Harvey Weinstein's eyes flashed with an evil light, looking at Yang Xuewu.This is the third negotiation between the two sides, and with Warner explicitly rejecting DreamWorks' terms, Yang and the others are in more in-depth negotiations with Weinstein Pictures.On the first two occasions, Harvey did not attend, and only left it to his deputy, Dexter DeSean, to take full charge.The contract was negotiated two times before, and this time it was just a passing contract.Wang Hejun and Xavi signed their names on the two contracts and then took pictures.Then the negotiators also took a group photo, followed by free group photo time.Harvey deliberately took a photo with three beautiful executives, holding Zhou Jingwen and Liu Xiangyun's waists with both hands, and the dishonest hands made the two women frown.When taking a photo with Yang Xuewu, because Yang Xuewu, who had been reminded in advance by Zhou Jingwen and Li He, was very clever and pulled Wang Hejun to stand in the middle, Wang Hejun was very wide, and Harvey couldn't reach Yang Xuewu.However, Harvey Weinstein obviously did not give up, and then there was a celebration banquet, and Harvey frequently toasted to the three women, but Harvey obviously underestimated the amount of women working in the entertainment industry, especially the strong women in senior positions, which were all practiced by the second pot.Although no one was convinced, Yang Xuewu, Zhou Jingwen, who was clean and self-conscious, and Liu Xiangyun, who was only interested in small milk dogs, got Harvey Weinstein drunk very tacitly.Harvey's accomplice on the side originally wanted to help, but when he saw that the Chinese woman had such a good amount of alcohol, Harvey, who was lying unconscious on the chair, was instantly stunned and hurriedly sent Harvey back.The three women, who easily solved the harassment, looked at each other and smiled, giving full play to the power of public relations, and filling the executives of Weinstein Pictures enough.Early the next morning, the people involved in the negotiations did not stay long, and hurried back to China.Harvey woke up early in the morning and heard that the three beauties had returned to China, so he immediately beat his chest and feet, and the Chinese beauties earlier made a deep impression on him. .............The North American distribution contract has been decided, and the European side has been handed over to a French film company who came to the door, which was introduced by Jack Wells, vice president of Warner Greater China, Li He made a special call to express his gratitude to Jack Wells, but people didn't care very much, just a gesture.Li He's purpose is to disguise Hollywood's own films as Chinese-language films to open up popularity internationally and prepare for follow-up plans, because the back are all big investments and big productions, and the domestic market alone may not be able to support DreamWorks.Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, Li He still has the basic market of the domestic market, it's a big deal to be a Chinese version of Michael Bay, come to "Transformers 123456789", and this series can be filmed for a lifetime.The contract with Weinstein Pictures is a tiered share contract, with an initial 10 percent, box office over $50 million rising to 15 percent, North American box office exceeding 100 million rising to 20 percent, and a 5 percent peripheral share.More than 150 million is 25% of the highest point, and the surrounding area has also risen to 10%.In short, Li He was very satisfied with this contract, and specially gave bonuses to the people involved in the negotiation to reward their hard work and wisdom, and used the excuse of lack of funds to attract Yang Xuewu to invest in.Yang Xuewu was born in a wealthy family, and she had a little savings after working for many years, and originally wanted to use DreamWorks as a springboard, but after seeing Li He's talent and ability, she felt that Li Heqi was a good place to live, so she invested three million and became a small boss of DreamWorks.Later, in order to acquire DreamWorks, Penguin Pictures had to give Yang Xuewu a stake in Penguin Pictures, and Yang Xuewu became a member of the board of directors of Penguin Pictures, and later succeeded Cheng Zhiwen as the president of Penguin Pictures, which is all a later story.However, the most important thing at the moment is the release of "Seven Deadly Sins", and if this project is messed up, it is estimated that there will be no afterthought.On June 27, the day of the premiere of "Little Times", "Seven Deadly Sins" released a production special, and the mysterious characters mentioned in it completely aroused the interest of fans who were already interested in the highly secretive murderer role.The 40-minute production special completely tells the filming process, inspiration and creative sources of "The Seven Deadly Sins".At the end of the special, there is also a final trailer for three and a half minutes of growth, and the murderer finally speaks at the end of the trailer.It's just that because Gu Zai's Mandarin is not good, he found a voice actor, and fans still can't guess, and the trailer does not have a Cantonese dubbing.Speaking of "Little Times", it still has something to do with Li He, because Deng Lun, the star of this film, collaborated with him in "Genius Gunman" last year, and the idol Da Mi Mi also participated in this film.Director Guo Xiaosi also invited Li He to participate in the premiere, but Li He was very dissatisfied with Guo Xiaosi's popularity, so he declined, but it did not affect the box office explosion of the fan movie "Little Times" at all, and for the first time, people saw the terrible ability of fan movies to attract money.On June 27, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Tong Da starred in "Huaxia Partner", which had a total box office of 535 million, and then it was full of malice, and "Little Times", which opened the era of small fresh meat, was released.After the 7.46 million box office at midnight, the box office of 73.231 million was achieved on the first day, and the writer Guo Xiaosi as the director succeeded, and his book fans were also happy, but it caused damage and impact on the Chinese film circle.Movies that can tell stories with their hearts, movies that tell good stories are a minority after all.However, "Little Times" provides another way, find a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women to stage love and hate, rich family grievances, and abortion car accidents can easily harvest the box office.With little investment, fast time, and large profits, it is simply a good place to make quick money, and a lot of capital has also planned to enter the market, and the impetuous atmosphere has gradually risen.And the first-week box office of "Little Times" also dealt a huge blow to many professional directors, and its first-week box office performance of 268 million even exceeded the total career results of many directors.Guo Xiaosi also continued to promote and said on various occasions: "Making movies requires talent....., I almost didn't say that I was the one with outstanding talent, if it weren't for Li He, the more exaggerated post-90s director Zhuyu, I would probably have given myself the title of the best young director.However, as the enthusiasm of fans subsided, the box office of "Little Times" fell sharply, and with the arrival of weekdays, the box office of "Little Times" dropped from 55.44 million on Sunday to 28.31 million on Monday.The drop of more than 40 percent is due to the enthusiasm of fans and the contribution of unknown passers-by to the box office, but it is said that many passers-by who were deceived into the movie theater by the propaganda left the movie theater with a curse."

Little Times" dropped from the initial 6.2 points to 5.3 points on the film review website Douban, and it continues to decline, in the words of a bean friend, Guo Xiaosi poured into our eyes.However, even if there is a flood of bad reviews on the Internet, Guo Xiaosi still earns a lot of money.I heard that the second part of "Little Times" is in post-production and is scheduled to be released within the year, and it is estimated that the audience will have to experience another wave of bad movies by then.On the other hand, I heard that Guo Xiaosi had achieved great success as a cross-border director, and Han Han, who was one of the two major writers of the post-80s, couldn't help it.Han Han, who has always thought that he is stronger than Guo Xiaosi, was not to be outdone and decided to be his own director.Because he had been a race car driver and was interested in road movies, Han Han decided to shoot a road movie with an original script.And this time, Han Han found DreamWorks......
