Chapter 1156: The rice in Xinxiang is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place

Fort Lee, New Jersey.

Many Koreans, Chinese and Japanese people gather here. Manhattan is through the Washington Bridge. There are many middle-class and rich people living along the Hudson coast, mainly because there are very few buddies...

On the street, there is an open-air coffee shop, dark green ceiling, white plastic chairs, a cup of quick-to-making coffee, and a half-bitten burger next to it.

Wu Xiaozu, dressed in white T-shirt and jeans, threw the cigarette butt into the coffee paper cup, then lit another cigarette, and wrote and painted in the newspaper with a pen.

"Where are you going to fly tonight?"

Cheng Long, who was holding a mop head, ate the burger voraciously and looked over. Beside him, Leonardo, who was listless, lay on the table next to him to take a nap.

There are 30 cities in 13 days, even if they are only concentrated on the east and west coasts and key cities in North America, they are still unbearable.

The drama "Detective Chinatown" has begun to be promoted in major mainstream newspapers and media in North America.

"Lang Howard: "Fire Ambition" will be the best fire-fighting work in the United States. For the real fire special effects, the movie costs 40 million US dollars!" - The New York Post

"The best way to return is to run to the unknown road of no return. At the end of the killing is the blooming flower of evil: "The Doomsday Flower" is scheduled for the third week of May!"

Looking at the New York Times' evaluation of the recently released movie, Wu Xiaozu drew two circles in the newspaper.

I remembered in my mind two months ago that Miramax Company, Xinyi Film Company and Touchstone Dot signed a movie distribution contract with Bowei Film Distribution Company.

Bowei Film will become the North American publisher of Chinatown, which will charge 15% of the distribution fee and 35% of the distribution fee of North American TV and videotape copyright revenue.

At the same time, he enjoys priority and joint issuance rights overseas (excluding Asia). This is what Zhang Jiazhen particularly wants to emphasize. After all, Wu Xiaozu's box office appeal in Asia is really not on the same frequency as North America.

Bowei Pictures will advance the early promotion, marketing, production and copying of the movie "Chinatown", and other related expenses will be paid first. This part of the expenses will be intercepted and settled after the film is removed.

In the release plan formulated by Bowei Pictures, the preview of "Chinatown" across the United States is clearly stipulated, and relevant film critics will be invited to participate in the film review to create momentum for the film.

Based on Wu Xiaozu's excellent performance in "The Seven Sins", the opening of this movie will not be less than 2,000 screens.

If calculated based on a copy of $680 at this time, the cost will be nearly $1.36 million. In addition, the early stage of holding film reviews, copy transportation, preservation, and media publicity and promotional expenses exceed $3.5 million!

This investment reached more than half of the production cost of $6 million, and the total cost of the film exceeded the estimated $8 million, reaching more than $9.5 million...

As for the early promotional effect of this drama—

Looking at the flowers of two movies released at the same time in the newspaper, Wu Xiaozu frowned and couldn't help but rub his nose.

Obviously, the early publicity of "Detective Chinatown" was really unsatisfactory.

To be honest, Bowei Pictures' distribution strategy is really...it's really nothing new. Even though it's a big box office hit in its last movie, it has no way to compare with Long Howard and Ridley Scott in terms of influence.

Although Wu Xiaozu's previous "Seven Sins" had a high box office, the problem is that these two directors and the producers behind them are both famous, not to mention that the two movies are from Universal and MGM respectively, and their promotional and promotional skills are even better than those of Bo Wei!

This is also the reason why Wu Xiaozu agreed to lead Cheng Long and Li Zi to promote the whole United States together.

During this period, Harvey will also use his connections to help the group to receive many opportunities for publicity from radio and television stations.

Just like playing with rock stars.

However, it is obvious that Harvey also understands that even if he is a little famous, fans of Wu Xiaozu and Cheng Long gather around the Asian community, as well as cities where Chinese live on the east and west coasts.

Therefore, in terms of publicity itinerary, they are basically cities on the east and west coasts and some famous cities in North America.

As for the central and western regions, the southern regions...

I'm afraid that those rednecks won't like such a yellow man who starred in the movie.

Inherent prejudice has always existed.

Otherwise, Cheng Long would not have explored this in Hollywood for more than ten years, and only a few years later began to truly become a very appealing action star!

Wu Xiaozu accelerated the process, but is not sure if the dragon-style action comedy will be loved by action fans.

This is an unknown in itself.

"Everyone can have a good night's sleep in Miami tonight." Zhang Jiazhen said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Little Lizi, with red lips and white teeth, couldn't help but wave his fist, "I wish I could dive into the sea water of Miami now!"

I'm afraid you'll play with water guns on the beach unscrupulously!

Wu Xiaozu looked at Little Little who was handsome three-fifths or four-fifths or five-fifths or five-fifths.

"The premiere was set in Century City in Los Angeles, and Harvey and Bowei contacted many media and famous film critics."

Zhang Jiazhen picked up the cigarette on the table and knocked out a few pieces, scattered them to several people, and also helped Wu Xiaozu ignite another piece, looked around, and whispered: "The company's financial accountant calculated the box office share of "Seven Sins". According to our calculations, the first box office share should be 3.3 million US dollars."

As the tobacco was burning with a deep red color, Wu Xiaozu slowly spit out thick fog, bounced the ashes, and signaled the other party to continue.

"But, the first share reported by the accountant yesterday was only $1.4 million. It was a $1.9 million less for no reason..."

Wu Xiaozu narrowed his eyes, squinted Zhang Jiazhen, picked up the cigarette and took another sip, "So what do you mean is someone touching our cheese?"

Zhang Jiazhen nodded and said, "This is just the first share."

“…”

Wu Xiaozu supported his head with his hands holding the cigarette, gently scratched his hair on his temples with his fingers, paused for a few seconds, took another sip of the cigarette, and repeated it several times.

"The time is very clever." He smiled faintly.

"That's right." Zhang Jiazhen said in a serious expression:

"The first part of "The Seven Sins" is said to have been paid last month, but it was delayed to this time. It happened to be before the release of "Detective Chinatown"."

I have to say that the time they choose is indeed very delicate, and they directly hit the weak point.

At this point in time, even if you notice some problems, can you really turn the table up?

sure.

But I didn't consider "Detective Chinatown" in the exam.

What's more, people dare to do this, which is clearly fearless!

"In the other party's report, the operating profit of this movie is very low... Through comparison, I found that many of the expenditures exceeded the normal budget of the industry. I suspect that Xinshi and Miramax were tampering with each other." Zhang Jiazhen added.

“Oh ~~”

Wu Xiaozu glanced at the Hudson River not far away, and the famous Manhattan was on the other side.

It is not easy for foreigners to live in Xinxiang, an international metropolis.

I'm still trying to cheat myself as an honest and mediocre movie director.

Too bad, no morals!

I just want to take advantage of the decline of Hong Kong films to find a place to live?

Why do you force yourself to be a billionaire rich man with a net worth of more than one billion dollars?

After thinking about it, I would like to write a letter to Sister Wang, Auntie and the others first to see if I can cheat... cross it out and get some money to buy a house.
