Chapter 36 Chatting with Zhao Jinmark and being caught by Aomei
"Phenomenal director! The young Chu Xuan defeated his compatriot Li An!"
"Magic-Chu's magic is still there! Two movies in a row!"
"Chu Xuan defeated all doubts, horror movies and musicals are fun! What genre is the next challenge?"
Among the many films on Thanksgiving, "La La Land" was originally recognized by the media as the worst film.
"The Hulk" is the most anticipated movie.
As a result, the polarities reversed after the release, and the word-of-mouth box office of "La La Land" exploded.
It earned $70 million in the first week of its release and won the first-week box office championship with an absolute advantage.
It broke 100 million directly in the second week! Become the film at the top of the pyramid of film history!
The box office champion for three consecutive weeks, the North American box office alone has exceeded 400 million US dollars.
Infinite Pictures has also negotiated overseas distribution strategies with distributors in various countries.
The next Christmas file, "La La Land" will be released simultaneously around the world!
This kind of achievement, any voice of doubt is pale. Instead, everyone is bragging about La La Land.
Chu Xuan has also become an idol of young North American youth, and he also represents the group of young movie fans.
The young forces in the film industry are defeating the "old forces" of the old-fashioned conservatives.
On the other hand, the box office of "Hulk" is really bleak, and the cumulative box office has not exceeded 100 million US dollars.
I am afraid that this time Marvel and Disney can only barely break the bank, and it is impossible to make a profit.
It stands to reason that with the high popularity of the Marvel hero Hulk, at least many comic fans can go to the cinema to watch.
However, on the one hand, young people prefer "La La Land";
On the other hand, director Li An's "Hulk" is too literary, focusing on exploring the spiritual world of Bruce Banner, while ignoring the rhythm of the film.
"Director Li An's delicate emotional expression is really not suitable for this brainless popcorn film."
"When a father-son relationship is discussed in a superhero movie, both comic and non-comic fans are silent."
"It's actually a good movie, but it's not fun to watch. I just want to watch the Hulk smash."
"Think about it, what would happen if Chu Xuan directed the Hulk?"
This time, the direct dialogue with his compatriots and seniors, Chu Xuan is even better.
But when he faced the interview, he still expressed his sympathy for the senior.
"Li An is a good director. This "Hulk" needs to calm down and watch. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."
In the face of Chu Xuan's "La La Land", Li An greatly praised it.
"I'm very happy to see the works of the Chinese brothers. I went to the cinema the next day to watch it, and I was shocked! Seriously, I can't get enough of this "La La Land"."
...
While Chu Xuan was making waves in North America, Infinite Pictures was also busy with overseas distribution.
The last "Ghost Record" and "La La Land", and even "Silence of the Lambs" are about to be released, and the overseas release of these films is basically negotiated.
In addition to the closed film market in small days, the major film markets in Europe, Australia, Asia, South America, and Africa all welcome Chu Xuan's films.
Well-informed film distribution companies in various countries have long wanted to pick up Chu Xuan's films.
He continues to hold the box office champion in the North American market, which is simply enviable.
Therefore, the negotiation of various countries went smoothly, and the "preferential price" lower than the market share was successfully released around the world.
"La La Land" will be officially released before Christmas Eve on December 23.
"Silence of the Lambs" will be released simultaneously in North America and the world on December 30.
"Smart: Ghost Recording" has already been launched in North American streaming media.
Parallel world pirated resources are almost eliminated.
Either go to the theater, or watch it on official streaming platforms, or buy genuine DVDs.
In a country with a relatively prosperous horror film market, there are still some opportunities for release.
Such as Siam and West Eight Kingdoms.
Of course, these films exclude one market, the world's largest Dragon Kingdom film market.
"Ghost Story" is completely out of the picture.
"La La Land" is expected to be released.
The Infinite Films established by Chu Xuan in Longguo has been put into operation at this time.
With Zhao Jingmai helping him in the capital, Chu Xuan felt relieved.
The company Chu Xuan holds 90% of the shares, Zhao Jingmai 5%, and the other 5% is Bona Films.
With the distribution channels of Bona Films, Chu Xuan's films can also be released more smoothly.
"La La Land" and "The Silence of the Lambs" are not co-productions without Chinese actors and are completely filmed overseas. They can only be regarded as imported films.
Originally, only two companies, China Film and China, were eligible to import films.
But recently, Bona Pictures is very hopeful to win the "third license".
With Bona's help, even if it's not a co-production, Chu Xuan will be able to release it in the Longguo market smoothly.
It's a pity that "La La Land" and "Silence of the Lambs" will take a while.
If there is no accident, almost after the Spring Festival next year, you can meet with more than one billion compatriots in the Dragon Kingdom.
Chu Xuan, who was far away in Los Santos, was dumbfounded when he heard these reports from Zhao Jingmai.
He acted as a hands-off shopkeeper and handed over everything to Zhao Jingmai, but he didn't expect her to do it so beautifully?
"I thought it would take three to five years for the release of Dragon Kingdom, but I didn't expect you to act so fast?"
"Of course, I'm great, hehe."
Zhao Jingmai proudly took credit on the other end of the phone.
"It's amazing, thanks to you."
Bona Pictures owns 5% of the shares and it's nothing, Chu Xuan doesn't care about this stake.
As long as it can help his movie release smoothly, the money is worth it.
Zhao Jingmai, a little girl who has not debuted for two years, can sit down and negotiate with Bona Films.
It looks like there must be someone behind him.
In her previous life, the person behind her was the "godmother of the entertainment industry", the first female agent, Sister Wang Jinghua.
Parallel worlds should be similar.
However, Chu Xuan didn't say anything, he praised the little girl, and he laughed happily.
Just hung up the phone, a familiar voice came from my ear.
"Chu, who are you calling? Dongfang's friend?"
With a burst of perfume, Elizabeth Olsen's pretty face was almost pressed against Chu Xuan's.
She heard clearly that there was a young girl over the phone.
It's a pity that both of them speak Chinese, and she doesn't understand a word.
He flirted with Zhao Jingmai and was caught by Ao Mei on the spot.
Chu Xuan did not change his face and said: "Well, it is a friend of Long Guo. The film and television company over there entrusts her to manage it. Soon, my movie will be released in my hometown."
Ao Mei's sixth sense instinctively felt that something was wrong, she glanced at him suspiciously, and then smiled sweetly:
"Great, it's a pity that your compatriots can't see such an excellent work."
In fact, Longguo Internet has been circulating, a mysterious Chinese director seems to be killing the Quartet in Hollywood.
"Who is Magic-Chu? Xuan-Chu?"
"It's probably a Chinese-American director, like Wen Ziren and Lin Yibin."
"I saw some North American students who said he was Chu Xuan."
"Chu Xuan? It can't be a banned boy group, right?"
"Hahaha, how is that possible."
Even the former ESO fan circle got the news.
Chu Xuan is a director in North America and has won the box office championship in a row?
If this is true, it is better to believe that Wang Yuan won the Grammy Award. *
