(It counts as the third update yesterday... June 1st, I wish babies a happy holiday!)

...

At present, there is no concept of a big variety show movie in China. Only after a parent-child variety show became popular a few years later, an alternative means of collecting money was launched, and a big movie was produced, which sold hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office nationwide after its release. Only then did people know that movies made on the basis of the high popularity of variety shows can be so rich.

Since then, various variety shows have tried to make money. This behavior has also attracted resistance from many filmmakers. And cheating money is only for a while, as time goes by, Chinese audiences become more and more mature, and it will not work to rely on variety shows and big movies to make money.

But now "Wild God Eater" is the first to eat crabs, although it is also taking advantage of the popularity of variety shows, and what he made is not a variety show movie but a documentary. It is completely a work of conscience and will not be afraid of criticism.

The episode of Survival on the Island of "Wild Eater" has started, and the ratings have exceeded 8%. If one-tenth of this many viewers could convert, he would have made a lot of money.

With such a strong audience base, Chen Ergou naturally pays more attention to the domestic market in comparison. So when he said that he "doesn't care about the extras in North America", he was not bragging.

Domestic films can be released in North America. This sentence seems lofty. In fact, looking back at the record of domestic films going abroad in recent years, we should not do that kind of extravagant hope.

Even if Chen Ergou's video is very popular in the United States, it is still unknown how many Americans are willing to watch a documentary about the adventures of a Chinese. Of course, if it can be released in North America, as long as the results are not too bad, it will be beneficial after all.

It can be upgraded a bit and let Chen Ergou be plated with gold. Then, with the help of the high quality of overseas releases, it will counter-promote domestic public opinion and promote sales.

With this consensus, the essence of this negotiation will not change.

After the Warner Bros. distributor reviewed the film, they had the same reaction as Nikki.

"Wonderful!"

David Heyman said, "Looking at the editing and rhythm, it's a bit in the style of Alfonso Cuaron."

"Alfonso? Don't be kidding, that's an Oscar-level director." Nikki was a little surprised.

What they don't know is that Chen Ergou's "director" skill comes from the work of the same great director from another time and space.

"But the other party still asks for distribution according to the distribution of commercial blockbusters?"

The director, Kevin, made the decision and said: "You can do some market research first. There are very few documentaries of this type, and the topic is hot. After the treasure auction is successful, there will definitely be another round of upsurge. Even the promotion will save more than half. There must be no market."

Warner has basically reached a consensus, but the negotiations did not let go. They are the Big Six in Hollywood, so tell the Chinese clearly that this is Hollywood. After two days and six rounds of intensive negotiations, the proud Americans refused to back down, and the negotiations fell into a stalemate.

At this time, Chen Ergou was investigating the expedition route in other places. While preparing for a new adventure, he also saw this negotiation in his eyes and thought: The Americans just want to drag me like this. They have seen that it has nothing to do with us in North America. Thought they were the only option...

"God egg, it's time to do something serious."

Xia Meng and Cai Yinong feel that they can't talk anymore, and Warner is playing with them. Just when they were planning to come back, they received a call from Chen Ergou asking them to stay for one more day.

"What's the use of one day? They are grabbing our weakness and wanting us to compromise." The two were dubious.

However, it didn't take a day at all, and that night, another powerful giant buyer got the news from nowhere and joined the negotiation. This is Universal Pictures!

They are starting to prepare for the remake of "Jurassic Park", because of the "Congo Fairy Dragon Shaking Hands" incident, they have paid special attention to Chen Ergou. This time I accidentally received inside information and watched a video of "Documentary", and I was immediately tempted.

"Warner doesn't buy it, we buy it."

That's not all, Miramax and Columbia have joined the inquiry.

Xia Meng and the two were startled.

What the hell did Chen Ergou do?

This change was unexpected for Warner Bros., because Cai Yinong had already started to ignore them. I don't know who sent the news, a piece of news titled "Many big-name Hollywood companies collectively looted the documentary of Chen Ergou's treasure hunt journey" began to spread wildly on the domestic Internet.

"Really, is this a dream?" The domestic media was confused.

Isn't "Barbosa" the name of Chen Ergou's treasure ship? Chen Ergou has never been out. He is preparing for his next trip to the wilderness. When will he have time to make a new documentary?

Some people who don’t understand the spectacle start to rant, “a group of inflated people”, “I want to fly before I learn how to walk”, “If you take too many steps, it’s easy to tear your eggs”, “You want to be famous and you want to be crazy.”

And the well-connected reporters also began to frantically inquire about the news. Naturally, the multi-party participation could not be concealed, and the news was gradually confirmed. It is true!

"My Tina!/Eating Hands"

At this time, the domestic media came to their senses belatedly, and their surprise turned into admiration, "Has a documentary been made quietly? No wonder the previous Congo River adventure and this treasure hunt video were not broadcast."

"It's too deep to hide."

Wanda hit the nail on the head and launched the first publicity campaign. It jointly released information with Reservoir Dogs Studio. Wanda and Reservoir Dogs Studio co-published a documentary titled "The Adventures of the Barbossa Treasure Hunt" in China, which will be screened nationwide during the summer vacation: "Completely reveals every detail of the treasure hunting process, the inspirational transformation from a fat boy to a great adventurer, the prologue of a legendary story, and various details encountered in a treasure worth billions... narrated by Master Dog himself, All on July 15th."

"Don't leave after school, let's talk!"

The first wonderful trailer of the documentary was also released, and although it is only 58 seconds long, the content inside is jaw-dropping. All unpublished. Including encountering pirates, fighting sharks, hand-to-hand combat with mercenaries, even gun battles and rpg rocket launcher bombing, etc.

And Chen Ergou knocked down several ferocious mercenaries in the jungle with only a flying knife. That dripping action and the real bloody fight left countless water friends dumbfounded, "Is this true? He It's still alive."

Only then did people know that it was really difficult to find the treasure this time.

"This is not a master of peace!"

After watching the first trailer, Huayi Feng Xiaogang said this sentence, "Strong enemy!"

Since he switched to commercial films for more than ten years, he has had no opponents, but he never thought that one day he would regard a domestic documentary as his strong opponent. And his new film "Great Earthquake" will be released at the same time, just a week later than "Treasure Hunt".

He has no way of knowing what achievement Chen Ergou wants to achieve. His movie is aimed at the box office champion, and he will not neglect any opponent. As soon as I thought about it, I went to chat with the brothers of the Wang family. As for what measures Huayi wants to take to suppress the opponent, Chen Ergou has no idea.

The negotiations in the United States finally came to fruition.

After days of negotiations, Reservoir Dogs reached an agreement with Warner.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

In the Warner conference room, Cai Yinong, on behalf of Chen Ergou, exchanged contracts with department head Kevin Tsuhara, took over the digital copy of "Barbosa" from Xia Meng, and gave it to the other party symbolically. After several rounds of see-saw negotiations, "Barbosa" was finally released by Warner. The contract stipulated that Warner's promotional expenses for the film should not be less than 10 million US dollars, and the largest screening theaters should not be less than 500.

Reservoir Dogs can get 20% of the box office share from the global box office except China.

20% of the box office, this figure is a bit of a trap, but the film is no different from garbage if it is not shown. Compared with the history of domestic films fighting against Hollywood in recent years, it is already a heavenly achievement to get a share of the box office. Even the best "Hero" of the year was a buyout.

"Welcome Chen to be a guest in the United States next time. This is the first person who has never landed in the United States, but sold a documentary into the United States." Kevin Tsuhara stretched out his hand to shake hands with the two, "I can't wait to see To see him, please pass on my regards."

Cai Yinong returned a polite smile and said, "Yes. I think hero is also looking forward to meeting you, and this time will not be too long. If you are still in New York next week, you will be able to meet him."

"Oh, yes, the auction is about to start."
