Chapter 964： Rules

China Film can introduce 15 American movies every year, only less, not more. To be honest, this number is not enough to be allocated to the top 5. Besides, Disney's family acacia animation is often the focus of introduction.

Of course, from the standpoint of China Film, sometimes it can't just focus on profit, but also strictly review what ideology the imported film wants to spread. If it's just entertainment, then of course there's no problem. I'm afraid that entertainment is mixed with some bad ideas s things.

So after hearing Lehman's request, Director Han didn't think for a long time, "We agree on the priority of the schedule, but—" Director Han emphasized the latter word.

Laiman also knew about conditions, and there was always room for negotiation. He calmly paid attention to Director Han's reply.

Sure enough, Director Han did not bother about the third point, and the restrictions he proposed were all around the first two points.

In his idea, the introduction index cannot be fixed - "Of course, this does not mean that we are unwilling to introduce your films, but that your opportunities should compete with other manufacturers on an equal footing." Two words should be emphasized. After that, Director Han changed the subject and said that he can give priority to dispatching the film purchase review team to connect with Mann Media's best-selling film projects.

Lehman suddenly understood what he meant. This does not mean that the initiative of the introduction must be firmly held in the hands of China Film, but because China Film treats various foreign manufacturers with different degrees of intimacy, just like Colombia's previous friendliness towards China, The feedback from the China Film Project is not low. Now, Mann Media can also enjoy this hidden benefit, rather than publicly falling on paper.

In other words, if Mann Media can continue its strategy of cooperation and mutual benefit, China Film will not let Lehmann down. That's probably what it implies.

Lyman understood.

Then there is the matter of China Film's cooperation with China's distribution in the United States. On this point, Director Han also has his own careful thoughts. You must know that the film itself is also a window to the world, and it can shape the image of the region. He hopes that Mann Media can also Released in the United States in conjunction with films supported by China Film. In this regard, Columbia is also doing it, but with one more studio and one more propaganda force.

After talking one by one, Lehman was also very frank, "I have no problem here, Mr. Han."

Although the limitations of these details make the previous proposals tend to be no longer domineering in the part of Mann Media, but Lehman's own requirements are not high, and the rest is just to use actions to show that his attitude can replace Colombia and become the first Partners - there are restrictions, there will be more sincerity than vague officialdom, anyway, the layout of the Asian region has been able to gain a firm foothold.

In the end, the group of people who had exchanged quickly signed a cooperation agreement on "Pacific Rim".

In addition to the specific rules for co-production, in terms of funding, China Film will provide 20 million dollars, Bernard, and Huayi will each provide 15 million dollars. When the schedule is announced, they will ensure the best theater resources and publicity. treat.

Both parties also confirmed that: during the filming process, China Film has the right to censor and stop it, and any ideological art processing that deviates from the creative concept must be confirmed by China Film before it can be carried out;

After the dispatched filming team enters the crew, the management staff of China Film Group will be the coordinating liaison;

The scenes and road sections required for framing are coordinated by China Film;

End-of-film guarantee and accident insurance, subject to the supervision of China Film;

The initial schedule is in October. Any accident that deviates from the schedule must be reported in time, otherwise the adjustment will be inconvenient and China will not be responsible;

Perhaps it was because of the co-production of the first and first special effects blockbuster, and the fact that he had to enjoy the account-sharing model for domestic films. Director Han was extremely cautious and ensured that the project would not make red line mistakes in every aspect. With good intentions, do good things into bad things, and make a mess.

But judging from the results, the signing of the contract, as well as the right to take the initiative to trial and error and stop, all parties are very happy.

For China Film, this is a breakthrough in the co-production of blockbusters. Taking this opportunity may attract other regional manufacturers to actively contact China Film, which is very helpful to their international market influence, and can also be honest and open to Hollywood producers. Experience.

For Mann Media, under this system, their interests in China are well guaranteed. In the future, the movie box office market in the mainland market will continue to rise, so they can enjoy only a lot more dividends, and they can fully mobilize Chinese film and television. The company's channel strength has paved the way for its own international distribution, especially in Asia.

For Bernard and Huayi, co-production also has many benefits. Even in terms of profit sharing, their proportion is not high. In terms of copyright, the Chinese side is mainly China Film, and it has little relationship with them. It reflects the support policy. , but enough to be satisfied and thinking about how it works, adding additional benefits or influence.

As for how to smoothly enter the shooting stage, the relevant personnel are already preparing. As a director, Top is staying in the hotel a lot.

"How is it, are you still getting used to it?"

In the hotel, Lyman found a spinning top.

"Fortunately, I went out for a walk the day before yesterday and found that my impression was not the same as before." The top shook his head.

"What's the difference?"

"The market is huge The mental outlook of the people is very good, which is completely different from the news reports."

"Those reporters like to make eyeballs, but it's not like you don't understand, just take a look at their words. By the way, do you have any specific ideas for shooting?"

But the spinning top asked, "Have you already negotiated?"

"Yes, the manpower is already being prepared over there. Immediately, the scenery, costumes, and props will be quickly prepared, and then the filming will begin. What are your thoughts?"

"I'll just be in charge of filming." Said, the top picked up his image of the monster and started talking. It seemed that he was more interested in monsters than actors.

"However, I found that the audience here is very enthusiastic about watching movies, and there are too many people queuing up to buy tickets. I heard from the accompanying people that this is a common occurrence."

"Of course, the main audience area for this project is here."

For "Pacific Rim", Gyro's studio is involved in the box office share. He himself likes this theme, and he still seems very motivated.

As for the passion for watching movies, it reminded Lehmann of something the political teacher said when he was in school, that is, the contradiction between the masses' material and cultural needs. , which is also the key point of the outbreak of many luxury brands and high-consumption markets, as well as the entertainment market.

Sometimes, the masses don't pay attention to the real value of a product at all, and everyone just hopes to spend money to make themselves happy, which also includes the concept of expectation...
