Chapter 186 is released overseas ahead of schedule!

What Han Sanping said makes it feel like you bunch of insects are so short-sighted. People are here to help you, and you actually oppose it.

People in the cinema didn't know how to start the conversation. You are really good at talking and your tone is so arrogant.

They asked for a 45% share right away, which was a direct increase of %. This group of people would not agree to it even if they had to bite the bullet.

Although I am optimistic about Chen An’s new film, I can’t play it like this!
He kept saying that the number was too high and it was impossible to agree to it.

With this effect, Chen An's side basically has the upper hand.

Since you think it's too high, then there is room for negotiation?

What’s more, the original plan wasn’t to give this number. We just reported it higher first and then cut it down gradually so that everyone would be satisfied.

Finally, the theater said a number, "41%, it can't be any higher. Besides, the movie hasn't been released yet, so no one can say for sure!"

After hearing this number, Chen An and the others looked at each other. This number was a little higher than expected.

Han Sanping coughed and glanced at Chen An, then said: "I think this is still too low, it should be..."

Chen An, who received the hint, immediately interrupted, "No need, Brother Han, since you are willing to improve, then we will accept it. This is the first time for us to try, so give each other a chance. Only when everyone makes money can we talk about other things."

He really made me cry. He even gave me a special reminder, and I took 41% of the share, and the other party still had to thank me.

"That's right, Director Chen. It's not that we don't want to, but our cinema chain is currently stretched to the limit. The box office has been bad since 1995, and it has been falling year after year. Apart from Hollywood imported films, only your film is selling well."

Seeing that Chen An had agreed, several people from the theater chain immediately spoke up.

"It's okay. Let's make concessions to each other first. This is our first attempt. If everyone makes a profit, then we can talk about it." Chen An expressed his deep understanding.

The theater also nodded repeatedly, "Then it's settled. Thank you Director Chen for your concession."

Just like that, the next day, news spread that Chen An’s share of the box office revenue for his new film “Time and Space Clues” had increased to 41%.

'The negotiation was successful! The five major producers met with the theater chain and increased the box office share of the new movie "Time and Space Clues" to 41%, opening a new chapter in the film industry!'

How could such a thing not be exposed? What a great publicity idea!
Zhang Weiping looked at the newspaper in his hand and muttered to himself, "He really managed to do it, but isn't 41% of the box office share still too little?"

Considering that the investment in his own film is 10 million US dollars higher than Chen An’s film, it is still unknown how much the overseas copyright can be sold.

Although there are some big names in his movies, except for Jet Li, he probably has no audience in the North American market.

Therefore, the domestic box office is also of paramount importance.

I am not as rich as Chen An, and I don’t have so many people willing to invest. I have borrowed a lot of money for the production cost.

"Since Chen An's movie can increase his share, then mine can too. It's already 10 million US dollars more than his, so I must get even higher!" I saw Chen An's idea of ​​increasing the producer's share of the box office.

It’s like a seed has been planted in my heart and is gradually sprouting!

At this time, Zhang Yimou had no idea what his partner was thinking and was thinking about the filming.

The shooting progress was very slow, and each shot had to be polished more than ten times.

And the shooting was divided into two groups, and I had to watch both sides myself.

His partners were already thinking about how to increase their share of the film's profits.

It's really well thought out and a rainy day plan.

Sony Pictures wanted to strike while the iron was hot and started promoting it directly. Riding on the popularity of Rush Hour 2, it was released first in North America!

After nearly a month of promotion.

It will be released directly on September 2th, taking advantage of the popularity of "Rush Hour " which has grossed over million US dollars in North America!
Under the banner of the latest science fiction film from the collaboration between Chen An and Fang Long, it was first released in the North American market.

Sony was also worried at first, but soon felt relieved.

Even though it is a Chinese-language film with subtitles, it still grossed US$807 million in its first week of release, ranking second on the weekly box office chart!
Fortunately, the number one movie "Hardball" was released on the same day and its box office was only 1122 million, ranking first on the weekly box office list!

And there weren’t any other competitive movies around. Due to the surge in word of mouth in the second week, this suspense and science fiction theme was more popular in North America, and its box office increased instead of decreasing, earning 1678 million US dollars!

It dethroned "Hardball" and topped the weekly box office charts as a Chinese-language film!

Sony knew it had made the right choice after seeing this scene. In this case, the copyright fee of US$2900 million might be able to recover the cost in North America, and even if it couldn't, the loss would not be much.

There will also be screenings in overseas markets. In some places, Van Long will be more popular than some Hollywood superstars!

The news that the movie would be released in North America ahead of schedule had already spread in China, and then the fact that it won the weekly box office championship in the North American market as a Chinese-language film shocked domestic audiences!

It also makes them look forward to it even more.

"Are there any netizens in the United States? How is the movie going? It looks like the box office in Hollywood is pretty good."

"It's not bad but a bit brain-burning. Some foreigners watched it several times before they understood it. Fortunately, it's in Chinese so it's much easier for me to understand. It's indeed a rare type in China and I think it will be a big hit!"

"It's really amazing, this is definitely Fang Long's transformation. I originally went there for Chen An, but I didn't expect Fang Long's acting to be so good!"

"Wow, the more you talk about it, the more I want to see it!"

"No wonder the copyright was sold for so much money, and they also want to increase the share of the producers. It seems that the movie is really good. I will definitely go to see it when the time comes!"

Considering that those netizens who have already seen the film said they were confused and probably didn't understand it, more people are eager to take a look.

In its third week of release in North America, the film continued to gross US$1391 million, continuing to occupy the top spot on the weekly box office chart.

Taking advantage of the good popularity, the publicity and promotion also started a little.

Chen An accepted an interview with a reporter in an interview:

"Your new film, Clueless, has been a huge success in the North American market. It has topped the weekly box office charts for two consecutive weeks in three weeks, and the current box office has exceeded 38 million US dollars. Do you feel that you lost money by selling the copyright for 29 million US dollars?"

Chen An shook his head and said indifferently:

"The film is mainly aimed at the domestic market, which is why I left Hollywood and returned to the domestic market. It's not for the money. I'm not interested in money. The main purpose is to prepare the first major production in the mainland!"

"Let everyone see the potential of the domestic market and let more people participate in the production of the film industry, because I alone cannot change it. Only when more people participate can the domestic market have more works and be more prosperous. I can only play a leading role."

When the reporter heard Chen An’s answer, he didn’t know how to control his expression.

Chen An's words were very orthodox, but they made him want to laugh.

A man who made tens of millions before his movie was released said seriously that he had no interest in money.

If he wasn't in the middle of an interview and his voice was recorded in the microphone, he really would have laughed out loud.

He had no professional training and felt a little uncomfortable.
