Perfect Life

Vol 5 Chapter 74: Benefit

France, in the winery, in the morning.

In early September, it was still a little hot outside.

Liao Liao and Xie Bing went to see the new winery that Xie Bing bought together. Under the big tree outside the villa, a pot of Chinese black tea was brewed. Li Qian and John Days both lit cigars, and Qi Jie was next to Li Qian. Sit down, the meeting begins.

Start with the least disagreement.

That is the distribution rights of "Dragon Inn".

Since the establishment of the Oriental Dream Film Company, John Days is responsible for the management. Now the company has not participated in the production of many movies, and only invested in two low-cost independent films. John Days has a good vision and makes a small profit, but In fact, the major revenue of Oriental Dream, or the company's current main direction, is distribution.

The agency distribution of "Once Upon a Time" in Europe and the United States, and the active participation in the distribution of "The Matrix" in North America, and the full agency of the film's distribution in Europe, Africa and Latin America, are Oriental Dreams A masterpiece of the film company.

The success of "The Matrix", needless to say, "Once Upon a Time" is actually a big money-making project.

The box office of this movie is not good in North America, but the box office in Europe is not bad, especially, whether in Europe or North America, the DVDs of these two Oriental Kung Fu movies can be described as big sales!

In another time and space, the DVD of Tsui Hark's version of "Once Upon a Time" sold well in the United States, not to mention that the director of this version is Li Qian, whether it is in terms of the director's popularity in Europe and the United States, or the entire film's popularity. The quality of the film is much higher than Tsui Hark's version, and the DVD is naturally a big seller.

There are two reasons: First, there are a lot of Chinese in Europe and the United States, and these people are a large consumer group for kung fu movies; Mysterious halo, a considerable part of the audience who are curious, especially like to collect this type of DVD.

With the popularity of "The Matrix" and Zhou Baoshan's popularity in Europe and the United States, there has been a surge in sales of the DVDs released by the two episodes of "Once Upon a Time".

The dividends here are of course divided up by Oriental Dream and Minghu Culture.

But the problem is that no matter how powerful John Days is, and no matter how unstoppable his connections are, compared with Columbia, which is a Hollywood super production company and distribution company, it will be insignificant.

In the past, Colombia was not even a drop of broth, but now, "Dragon Inn", as another Kung Fu blockbuster produced by Minghu Culture, is a big hit at the box office in China, East Asia and Southeast Asia. Er immediately said: This pot of soup will be scored by Colombia!

Of course, John Days explained to him patiently: Kung Fu movies and martial arts movies are two different concepts and cannot be generalized. Although "Once Upon a Time" and "Dragon Inn" are both filming Chinese Kung Fu, they are completely different. Two different styles. "Once Upon a Time" is profitable in Europe and the United States, but "Dragon Inn" is not necessarily but useless. Colombia requires the distribution of "Dragon Inn" worldwide, except for East Asia and Southeast Asia and other countries. right.

John Dyce almost exploded.

But before they quarreled, Li Qian made the decision. The release of "Dragon Inn" in the U.S. belongs to Columbia, dvd, Oriental Dream VI, Columbia IV, but in Europe it is reversed, the release belongs to Oriental Dream, and DVD is Columbia. Sixth, Oriental Dream IV.

Well, both sides are grudgingly agreeing.

The second thing, the investment problem of the second part of "The Matrix".

Before they could quarrel again, Li Qian made a direct decision: to allow Colombia to join in, Oriental Dream gave up part of the investment share, but as a price, the European distribution of the second part of "The Matrix" continued to be handed over to Oriental Dream, and Columbia did not want it. I'm thinking about it again, and the distribution in North America will continue to be done jointly by the two companies.

This matter is solved again.

The third thing, who will Li Qian shoot for next?

It was Li Qian who made the decision directly: I am still waiting for the technology for the next movie I am going to make. The technology is not too mature at present, but once the filming starts, it will cost a lot of money. Therefore, Minghu Culture invests 60% and Columbia invests 100%. Thirty percent, Oriental Dream invests 10%, let's share the risk.

As for the production plans for more than a dozen films prepared by Columbia, Li Qian didn't even watch it, and said directly: I don't have time.

The division of interests is complete.

By the time Liao Liao and Xie Bing came back from the winery next door, everyone could happily drink tea and chat together.

Although Colombia failed to win Li Qian to Colombia to make a movie, they not only got the investment rights for the second part of "The Matrix", and the distribution rights that will surely start, but also won Li Qian's next big production. They also grabbed a large piece of the investment rights and distribution rights of “Dragon Inn” in front of them, and they also grabbed a large piece from the Oriental Dream Film Company. It can be said that this time Grenshire, France The goal of the trip has been successfully completed most of the time, of course he is very happy.

In his view, this is an essential piece of fat on the road to Colombia's renaissance in the next few years.

John Days seems to be frustrated, but in fact he knows that Oriental Dream is too small in terms of size. After Minghu Culture completed the acquisition of Columbia, the thing he has always worried about the most is that Minghu Culture will want to sell the company. The Oriental Dream Film Company was integrated into Colombia's system in Europe and the United States.

Colombia has Grenshire. If he enters the Colombian system, he will not be eligible and will not be able to reach the top within a few years, but he will retain the Oriental Dream, especially the most important agent in the Oriental Dream's hands, Ming Lake. With the distribution rights of a series of cultural films in Europe and the United States, he can continue to occupy a very important place in the film kingdom of "Minghu Culture Columbia".

What's more, with this piece of issuance right, Oriental Dream's profits are very high, and he holds shares in this company, which of course means that he can obtain great wealth growth every year.

So, don't complain on the surface, but in fact he is also very happy.

As for Qi Jie... These decisions are all made directly by Li Qian, and Li Qian also clearly stated that his next focus of work is on Minghu Culture, of course she has nothing to be unhappy about.

After having lunch together, the driver drove Grenshire away in a car, and John Dyce took another car back to Paris. Next, we are going to start the release of Dragon Inn in Europe. Li Qian and Qi Jie , Liao Liao, and Xie Bing sat down together. Speaking of the meeting held in the morning, Xie Bing was very happy and said, "Although it is his own company, you should be the first to be invited by a big Hollywood company so proactively to film. Bar?"

Li Qian laughed, shook his head, and said, "What's the matter, you are ready to be proud!"

Xie Bing was puzzled. In her opinion, this is certainly something to be proud of!

But Qi Jie explained to her with a smile, "Although Li Qian has proved that he can make such a movie that sells well all over the world, he is a Chinese director after all, so let him go to the United States to make movies, to make pure American aesthetics. After all, there is still a risk in a oriented movie! Besides, Grenshire’s invitation is just a statement, do you really think he wants Li Qian to make a movie for Colombia?”

Xie Bing was puzzled.

Qi Jie had to continue to explain, "Colombia is very large, and there are many production plans every year, but Hollywood's production standards are absolutely producer-centered, that is to say, what kind of film to make, who to make it, and how to make it. , it is the producer who has the final say. The producer is also appointed by Columbia. In the past, Li Qian, as the boss of Columbia, must be the first producer. Even Grenshire would not interfere with him. How to shoot it! Now that Grenshire has just straightened out the company's internal structure, you said that at this time, even if Li Qian's films are successful and sure to make money, how could he be willing to let Li Qian pass, completely out of his control To make movies? And ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Once Li Qian goes to the United States, will he want to interfere in Colombia's internal operations? Will Grenciar be willing to let him be the emperor in the past?"

Xie Bing suddenly realized, thought about it for a long time, and said, "You are all amazing!"

Obviously, Xie Bing did things like this, hiding each other's secrets and testing each other. She felt that she only had the chance to be killed.

Everyone laughed.

Everyone has their own way of survival. Xie Bing's way of survival is that her mind is very simple, but she is very clean. She is very kind to everyone. All want to be nice to her. And since she knew Li Qian from the beginning, she was particularly willing to cling to Li Qian, especially willing to be a dodder attached to his big tree. Back then, Zhou Ai and Liao Liao were both aggressive, Li Qian won, but not Xie Bing, she was won by Li Qian.

Facts have proved that she is a girl with such a simple mind. She has been escorted by Li Qian all these years. If there is no Li Qian, in a chaotic entertainment circle, what step can she take, and can she be as successful as she is now? , it is hard to say whether it will be pitted by others.

After lamenting that "you are all so sophisticated and complicated", she just forgot about it for a while. When Li Qian casually asked about the promotion and box office situation of "Dragon Inn", thank you Bing immediately jumped up again and said, "Wow, broke 300 million? So fast?"

She said: "I also really liked that movie. Xiaoyu acted so well, and Director Jin did it so well!"

Then she also said to Li Qian, "Director Jin is really amazing!" Then she asked Qi Jie, "Then if this movie is a big hit, is Director Jin going to become a great director?" (Tianjin Novel web https://)
