The Best Director

The lobby of the Redstone Theater was as lively as a party, with men in suits and beautiful ladies in evening gowns, everyone looked like a movie star, and of course some of them were. As soon as Wang Yang and Max Langt walked in, they saw the familiar Lionsgate team in black suits. Jon-Filtimer, and the purchasing department manager Tom Ma-Odenburg and others.

Jon over there also saw Wang Yang, he waved with a smile, and walked over with Tom and others, and said with a smile, "Hey, Yang, where did you go last night? Why didn't I see you?"

"Hi, Jon! Didn't you see it now?" Wang Yang and Jon hugged each other lightly, then turned their heads to look at Tom Oldenburg, stretched out their hands to him, and said, "Hi, Tom, long time I haven't seen you, have you paid it back recently?" Tom shook hands with him, and said with a smile: "It's not very bad, I'm not doing well recently, it depends on what I got at this film festival."

Everyone laughed, and after exchanging pleasantries, they all walked into the lobby, Wang Yang and Jon walked in the front, and Jon asked curiously: "Yang, did you see any movie?" Which movie premiere are you going to see?" Wang Yang shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, I have to check today's premiere list first, I haven't watched it yet, but last night's "You Can Rely On I'm pretty good., He glanced at Max Langt next to him, Mark adjusted his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "If the price is right, we're going to buy it. "

In fact, both of them know that the possibility of "You Can Rely on Me" falling into the film library of Flame Films is very small, unless their bid is always higher than that of companies such as Pallahou, but that would have exceeded 5 million long ago. And whether it is Flame or Lionsgate, they can't hide their intentions from others, because the independent producer or investor of the film will release news and publicize it, so that they can bargain more and attract more attention. So they have nothing to worry about.

""You Can Rely on Me"? That movie is not bad." Jon first agreed, and then frowned: "But the price is already a bit high, 3 million? It's not worth that price. , Wang Yang went to the booth Walking over there, he jokingly said, "If you want Lionsgate to be nominated for an Oscar, you can buy it. "Jon laughed haha, as if he didn't pay much attention to that movie, and said casually: "Laura-Linney played a great role, maybe she can really get nominated for Best Actress, but Lionsgate is considering it." The first is income. "

Looking at the jokes between Wang Yang and Jon, Tom Oldenburg couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He still clearly remembered the scene in the company's screening room less than two years ago, when this young man was nervous and nervous. Confident expressions, persuasive rhetoric, and the joyful appearance of trembling with excitement at the end.

At that time, this young man was still seeking distribution roles for his own films, but now he is distributing for others.

"I hope to get a share, and your company doesn't need to give me a new advance payment." Tang Ma-Oldenburg thought of this voice again, and still couldn't help laughing at herself like every time she thought of it. "Ghost Story" is his most successful purchase,

It can also be said to be the most failed one. In order to reduce the risk of hundreds of thousands, he agreed to the dividend plan of Fengguai, and ended up losing tens of millions. How stupid!

Before coming to the booth, Wang Yang picked up the list of movies premiered today and looked through them. The brochure contained detailed information such as posters, content introductions, directors and actors. He turned another page, only to see a poster with a girl in boxing gloves shaking her fist fiercely, "Girl Punches"! The debut film of the female director Karis Kusama, with an investment of 40,000 yuan, the heroine is the unknown newcomer Michelle Rodriguez...

Michelle Rodriguez? Wang Yang looked at the girl on the poster, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered who she was, the female pilot Trudy in "Avatar"! He liked the fierceness of the actress, which was wild and charming. After glancing at the introduction of this movie, he turned to the next page to see the next one. There seemed to be several overlapping photos on the poster. The name of the movie was "Memory Fragments" and the director was Christopher Nolan.

Wang Yang's eyes lit up immediately. If he remembered correctly, the director of "Inception" was Christopher Nolan. He searched in his mind, and it was indeed so, and "Memory Fragments" was in the movie library. I haven't seen it, but this movie is highly rated and sold well at the box office. It received 25.54 million US dollars in North America and 39.72 million worldwide. 531 homes.

"Yan, do you have any ideas?" Jon-Filltimer, who was also looking at the list, asked. Wang Yang put down the brochure in his hand, naturally he had nothing to hide when he went to see a movie, and smiled at him: "I'm going to watch "Memory Fragments". The introduction of this movie is very interesting."

Jon looked at the information in his hand and said, "Oh, "Memory Fragments", the type of thriller drama... yes, I will watch this too, I like horror movies." He looked at Wang Yang and laughed, and said: " It always brings luck to Lionsgate." Wang Yangnian shrugged, and Mark Xinlong walked in front, and Jon told Tom Oldenburg that they would go to other movies, and he and a The salesman of Mingbu Films went to see "Memento".

"This is Christopher Nolan's second movie, the first "Follow" cost 6,000 US dollars, wow..., Jon looked at the information at hand and exclaimed in surprise: "How did he do it? Oh, it turned out that there was no pay, all his friends participated in the performance on weekends, and the filming lasted for a year. That movie did well at the festival, Newmarket invested him $5 million, and then there was Memento. 5000000? Wang Yang nodded and said, "Persuasion." "

This means that "Memento" includes theatrical distribution rights. 4. To buy all the copyrights including distribution rights, at least 5 million must be paid to Newmarket. For an independent film, this is not a small amount, and the price cannot be 5 million. Newmarket Company must make a profit before selling it, so at least 6 million or more, this is definitely for the film company. Prices are prohibitive. From the information in Wang Yang's mind, he knew that it was the Newmark Holding Company that finally released the film, obviously because no distributor was interested.

"5 million, unless the movie is very good and suitable for screening, otherwise I won't argue with you." Jon shook his head and said with a smile, Wang Yang smiled indifferently: "Then!"

While talking, everyone walked towards the screening hall where the premiere of "Memory Fragments" was held.

PS: Check the information and check for mistakes, and if you make a mistake, you will make a mistake... "Memory Fragments" originally participated in the first Sundance for one year, but the filming of the previous one was also finished at this time (from October 1999 to October 1999), probably because of the butterfly effect What, it was filmed earlier here, so it was at the old Sundance. In addition, in terms of the number of updated words, Wow Li has nothing to say, let's fall to the bottom, break and stand! (to be continued)
