Accompanied by Song Chaohui, Kaluru set foot on the land of China for the first time.
The first thing Karuru did when he came to the capital was to register with the special service team. China's management of foreign monks was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. He planned to follow Gao Xingyu in China for a long time, so he decided to go to the special service team as soon as possible to get familiar with them.
While waiting for Gao Xingyu’s return, Karulu and Song Zhaohui participated in several activities in the film and television industry and consciously spread their own situation in the industry.
Karulu has the dual identity of an international film and television investor and director, and is looking for suitable film and television projects. He has a large amount of funds in his hands, so he has attracted the attention of many people in the industry. The most caring one among them is Friendship Brothers Film Company.
Friendship Brothers Film Company has just repurchased some shares from its partners and has become the absolute controlling party of the company. At this time, they urgently need a big move to prove their ability to make the company develop better after taking over.
Last year, a co-production film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon caused a sensation in the domestic film market.
This movie, with an investment of up to 15 million US dollars and a gathering of big-name stars, is based on traditional Chinese martial arts stories, but it uses narrative techniques and shooting ideas that Western audiences are more accustomed to.
Therefore, although the film only received 15 million yuan at the box office in the increasingly sluggish domestic market, which can be said to be a disastrous failure, it has grossed 20.5 billion U.S. dollars at the global box office, and also It won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the beginning of this year, which can be said to be both fame and fortune.
The boss of Friendship Brothers Film Company was so jealous that he also prepared a new film project, tentatively named The Funeral of a Big Name, and planned to use a co-production method to strive for global distribution.
The partner Friendship Brothers Film Company hopes to cooperate with is Colombia. Columbia is one of the six major Hollywood film companies and one of the co-producers of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and is responsible for the film's distribution in North America and other countries.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a global hit, with a box office of US$12.8 billion in the North American market alone, and Colombia was indispensable.
Friendship Brothers Film Company has great ambitions. Not only does it want to obtain more box office profits, but it also wants to take this opportunity to achieve overseas box office splitting.
However, Colombia showed little interest in the co-production plan proposed by Friendship Brothers Film Company.
At present, the Chinese film market is in a very sluggish state. Last year, in 2000, the total box office in the mainland was only 8.6 billion, which has been less than one billion for two consecutive years. It is not as good as the population base. Japan in China.
Therefore, Colombia only regards the mainland market as a potential stock and hopes to take advantage of it.
The co-production plan proposed by Friendship Brothers Film Company is not very attractive to Colombia.
Don’t look at the success of Friendship Brothers Film Company in recent years with its New Year films, includingHowever, this kind of urban light comedy-style movie is very regional. Not to mention being sold overseas, even the number of viewers in the south of the Yangtze River has dropped significantly compared with the north.
The movie they proposed to co-produce this time is still in the same style, but in order to enter the overseas market, foreigners have been added to the script.
However, Colombian internal professionals studied the script and judged that it would be difficult for such a film to succeed in the European and American film markets.
If that’s all, it actually doesn’t matter. For a film with a total investment of only three million US dollars, Colombia only needs to bear a small part of it, still in the form of paying the salaries of several foreign actors. This amount of money is not something Colombia, which has a large family and business, cares about.
However, the proposal of Friendship Brothers Film Company to share the box office share of overseas movies was not accepted by Colombia.
The business models of the six Hollywood giants are not exactly the same, but the key to why they are called the Big Six is that they control the film distribution network in North America.
Hollywood does not mind cooperating with film and television companies and investors from various countries. It is also very common to split the box office accounts after agency distribution, but such cooperation partners do not include Friendship Brothers Film Company for the time being.
Friendship Brothers Film Company was established less than three years ago. Although it became famous thanks to several New Year films, their films are mainly targeted at domestic audiences and there is no precedent for successful overseas distribution.
Therefore, in the eyes of Colombia, there is no problem in participating in the co-production, although this project is somewhat tasteless. But in terms of overseas distribution, Colombia hopes to buy it out, and Friendship Brothers Film Company does not yet have the strength to split the revenue from overseas box office.
Now, the two sides are still negotiating back and forth. Friendship Brothers Film Company realizes that its demands are somewhat radical, but the external publicity has been made. At this time, it is difficult to get off the horse, hoping to find another way to solve this problem. question.
After Karuru and Song Chaohui learned about this situation, they discussed it and decided to intervene in this project as a third party.
It doesn’t matter whether this project is profitable or not. What Karulu and Song Chaohui care about is this opportunity. They targeted the foreign director's role in the script.
If Kalulu wants to continue practicing, the most important thing is to gain popularity. Although Friendship Brothers Film Company's previous New Year films were only released domestically, they were very popular with northern audiences.
If Karuru can play the role of a foreign director in the new film, it will be of great help to him to open up domestic opportunities and increase his popularity.
This is what Karulu and Song Chaohui are busy with these days.
The two of them have magic. Although they will not cast it directly on ordinary people, that is what evil cultivators do, they can cast spells on themselves, thereby affecting the other's perception and gaining the other's trust.
.
Especially Kalulu, not only is he a higher cultivator, but as a god cultivator, he is better than Song Chaohui.Specializing in magic related to the soul and feelings.
So the two divided their labors and cooperated, and successfully joined the project in just a few days. Karuru also successfully became one of the leading actors in the film, playing the foreign director who suffered a stroke.
At this time, after they saw Gao Xingyu, they told him the first project that Kalulu International Film and Television Company was preparing to operate. At this time, Gao Xingyu was not only a shareholder of the company, but also had become the backbone of their small circle.
Gao Xingyu is quite interested in these things in the secular world. Karuru has come to join him. This is the first step for Karuru to break away from Shinto and change his cultivation method. Gao Xingyu will also pay more attention to it, both emotionally and rationally.
However, Gao Xingyu’s plan to follow up on this project fell through. Li Gang and Lao Haiou were already waiting impatiently. They hoped that Gao Xingyu could follow them to report to the Chinese Guardian Alliance first, and then do what he wanted to do.
Gao Xingyu also knew that the registration matter could not be delayed any longer. So, after he settled Yuanyuan, he set off with Li Gang and the others. Please remember to collect it.
