"You're finally here! I was just about to ask you for advice. The screening of 'Divine Capital: Youth's Journey' was very successful, and two distributors have expressed interest in it. Initially, both companies wanted to sign a buyout contract, but in the past few days, I've noticed that more and more companies are distributing 'Divine Capital: Youth', and one of them is showing signs of relenting..."
Many distribution companies look for suitable films at film festivals, they are like a pack of hounds sniffing around.
These distribution companies have their own set of criteria for judging what kind of movies are suitable for making box office money in theaters and what kind of movies can only make money by selling DVDs.
As soon as "Shendu Youth Journey" was screened in Cannes, it was spotted by distribution companies.
"The Youth in the Capital of Gods" is not a movie that has not been released before. It has been released in China and achieved a box office revenue of 49 million US dollars in China.
This result cannot be compared with the box office of Hollywood blockbusters.
But the cost of those Hollywood blockbusters is much higher than "Shendu Youth Journey"!
This $49 million box office revenue only comes from China.
Once "Shendu Youth" can be released globally, its total box office may double from 49 million US dollars!
The people in charge of buying films at the film festival are all very professional. They think that "Shendu Youth Journey" is a very mature commercial film - it is not mysterious, and its plot and setting can be understood by ordinary audiences, which is the prerequisite for commercial box office success!
The evaluation score was high, and the distribution company was determined to sign a buyout contract. After all, who would complain about making too much money? This is the usual routine of distribution companies. They control the global distribution channels, and all films other than Hollywood blockbusters have to obey them!
That's why Mr. Zhang encounters obstacles everywhere.
It’s not that “Shendu Youth” is not good, it’s that Chinese-language films have no say in the world!
An ordinary person would have lost their mind long ago. After being rejected once, twice, three times, and repeatedly, they should have understood the situation and agreed to sign a buyout contract, choosing the company with the highest bid to sell the overseas rights of "Shendu Youth Journey".
Mr. Zhang is not an ordinary person. He is a miser who is obsessed with money. After finally making a movie that can win the box office championship in China, Mr. Zhang will never sell it at a low price!
This persistence allowed Mr. Zhang to wait for a turning point.
Suddenly, the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival began to watch "The Youth of the City of Gods".
Suddenly, I noticed that more and more companies were distributing "Shendu Youth Journey", and some of them were even companies that Mr. Zhang had contacted when he was in China.
At that time, the other party was very firm in his words, but now he says that the profit sharing is negotiable.
Mr. Zhang, the stingy man, had his eyes sparkling. "I think the feng shui of Cannes is particularly good for me, don't you think?"
Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui looked at each other.
Mr. Zhang talks about metaphysics, while they only talk about facts.
The jury of the Cannes Film Festival would not have suddenly noticed "Shendu: Youth Journey", but it should be the vigorous public relations for "Tangli Love" that made the jury notice "Shendu: Youth Journey"!
Wen Ying was in a good mood.
It’s hard to say whether it can win an award, but if the overseas distribution of “Shendu Youth Journey” is negotiated, Tianjiao’s PR fees will be worth it!
