Chapter 83: Memory pieces

The lobby of the Red Rock Theater is lively as if a party is being held. Men in business suits and beautiful ladies in evening dresses, everyone looks like a movie star, of course, some of them are themselves. Wang Yang and Max Rand had just walked in and faced the familiar Lion Gate team in a black suit. Jon-Filtim, and Tom Ma-Odenberg, the manager of the film purchasing department, and others.
Jon over there also saw Wang Yang. He smiled and beckoned. He walked over with Tom and others and smiled, "Hi, Yang, where did you go last night? Why didn't you see you?"
"Hi Jon! Didn't you see it now?" Wang Yang and Jon gave a soft hug, then turned their heads to look at Tom Oldenburg and reached out to him, saying: "Hi Tom, long time I have n’t seen them, have you paid them back recently? "Tom shook hands with him and smiled," It's not very bad. I haven't had a good time recently, just watch the harvest at this film festival. "
Everyone laughed with a chuckle, and after some greetings, they all walked into the lobby. Wang Yang and Jon walked to the forefront. Jon asked curiously, "Yang, which movie did you see? ? Which movie's premiere are you going to see? "Wang Yang shook his head slightly and said," I don't know. I have to look at today's premiere list. I haven't watched it yet, but last night's "You Can Rely "I" is pretty good., He glanced at Max Ronter next to him. Mark supported the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and took the words: "If the price is right, we are ready to buy it. "
In fact, both of them know that "You Can Rely on Me" is very unlikely to fall into the film library of Flame Movies, unless their bids are always higher than companies such as Parahau, but it has already exceeded 5 million. And whether it is Flame or Lions Gate, they ca n’t hide others ’intentions, because the independent producers or investors of the film will release news and publicize it, so that they can bargain more and attract more attention. So they have no worries.
"" You can rely on me "? That movie is good." Jon agreed with it first, then frowned: "But the price is a bit high, 3 million? Not worth that price., Wang Yang went to the booth. Walking there, jokingly said: "If you want Lions Gate to be nominated by Oscar, you can buy it. "Jon smiled haha, it seemed that he didn't care about the movie, and said casually:" Laura-Linnie played very well, maybe she can get the best actress nomination, but Lions Gate considered The first is revenue. "
Looking at the jokes between Wang Yang and Jon, Tom Oldenburg couldn't help feeling a little bit. He still clearly remembered the scene in the company's screening room less than two years ago. Confident expressions, persuasive remarks, and the joy of tearing and tearing in the end.
At that time, the young man was still looking for a distribution role for his movie, and now he came to distribute it to others.
"I hope to get a share, and your company doesn't need to give me a brand-new down payment." Tommy-Odenberg remembered the voice again, and still couldn't help but laugh with a self-deprecating laugh like every time. "Ghost Record" is his most successful purchase, and arguably the most unsuccessful. In order to reduce the risk of hundreds of thousands, he agreed to the rich dividend plan and eventually lost tens of millions. silly!
Before coming to the booth, Wang Yang picked up the list of movies that premiered today, and the brochures contain detailed information such as posters, brief introductions, and directors and actors. He turned another page, only to see a girl with a boxing glove waving her fist fiercely on a poster, "Girl Fists!" Female director Caris Kusama ’s debut film, with an investment of 40,000 yuan, the heroine is the unknown newcomer Michelle Rodriguez ...
Michelle Rodriguez? Wang Yang looked at the the poster, frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered who she was, the female pilot Trudy in "Avatar"! He likes the toughness of this actress, very wild and charming. After scanning the film's introduction a few times, he turned to the next page to see the next one. The poster seemed to be a few overlapping photos, the film name "Shard of Memory", director Christopher Nolan.
Wang Yang's eyes lit up suddenly. If he didn't miss the memory, the director of "Theft of Dreams" was Christopher Nolan. He searched in his head. Sure enough, it was like this, and "Shard of Memory" was in the movie library. He I have n’t watched it, but the movie is highly rated and very popular at the box office. It received US $ 25.54 million in North America and 39.72 million worldwide. However, its number of theaters in the first week is "home, the widest time only 531 homes.
"Jan, do you have any ideas?" Jon-Filtim, who was also watching the list, asked. Wang Yang put down the book in his hand, and naturally there was nothing to hide from watching any movie. He smiled at him: "I am going to watch" Memory Fragment. "This introduction to the electric tripod is very interesting."
Jon looked at the material in his hand and said: "Oh," Memory Fragment ", the type of thriller drama ... Yes, I also go to watch this, I like horror movies." He looked at Wang Yang and laughed, said: " It always brings luck to Lions Gate. "Wang Yangnian shrugged and walked ahead with Mark Xinlang. Jon said to Tommy-Oldenburg, and they went to watch other movies, and he and one The marketing staff of the famous film department went to "Memory Fragment".
"This is Christopher Nolan's second movie. The first" Follow "cost $ 6,000. Wow ..., Jon looked at the material at hand and exclaimed in surprise:" How did he do it? " Oh, it turned out that there was no pay, and all of his friends participated in the show on the weekend and filmed it for a year. The film responded well at the festival, Newmarket invested 5 million in him, and then had "Memory Fragment." 5000000? Wang Yang nodded and said: "Persuade. "
This means that all the copyrights including "Memory Fragment" including the distribution right of the cinema ~ EbookFREE.me ~ four distribution rights must be purchased, and at least 5 million should be paid to Newmarket. For an independent film, this is not a small amount, and the price can not be 5 million, Newmarket must be profitable before it is sold, then at least 6 million, this is definitely to let the film company They are prohibitive prices. Wang Yang knew from the information in his head that it was Newmark Holding that ultimately released the film, which was obviously not a result of interest from distributors.
"5 million, unless this movie is very good and very suitable for screening, otherwise I will not compete with you for this." Jon said with a smile of shaking his head, Wang Yang smiled indifferently: "Then!"
As they spoke, they walked towards the screening hall where the "Memory Fragment" premiered.

PS: Checking the information and checking the error, it will be wrong ... "Memory Fragment" originally participated in the oral Sundance for 1 year, but the old session was also finished at this time (January 1999 to October 1999), probably because of the butterfly effect Whatever, its shooting time is earlier here, so I participated in the old Sundance. In addition, the word count is updated, and Wow Li has nothing to say, fall to the bottom, and then stand up! (To be continued)
