Lucas Ben is one of the largest film distributors in the United States. He has worked with DreamWorks for many years and has a very good personal relationship with Spielberg. Spielberg and Li Mu have a joint venture to transplant Muying Ticketing system to Cinema in the United States. Since then, it is indeed because of the convenience of the online ticket system that it has brought a comprehensive improvement to the entire box office market, and Lucas has become the most benefited by virtue of its relationship with Spielberg.

And Lucas himself, not only a loyal supporter of Mucha ticketing system, but also a loyal supporter of Li Mu's, has always had the idea of ​​getting acquainted with Li Mu, but suffering from no suitable opportunity, this time let him didn't expect, Li Mu It was perfect to find Spielberg to introduce him to North American distributors, and Spielberg found himself again.

Lucas ’company itself is also trying to contact Muye Pictures, hoping to get the copyright of the Zombie(s) film, and then make a small profit in North America during this off-season, and Lucas also specifically found Mr. Zombie(s) and Copies of several other Zombie(s) films were screened in a small area within the company. After watching this movie, everyone has a very good evaluation.

The main reason for the high rating is that the film itself is more interesting and witty, especially for viewers who have not been exposed to the Zombie(s) film, especially if you know that "Mr. Zombie(s)" opened the precedent of the Zombie(s) film and directly The Zombie(s) film has entered the golden period, which shows that this film has a very good effect on the popularization of Zombie(s) films.

For this group of American filmmakers, the film itself is of good quality and already has the possibility of operation, not to mention that the film is full of oriental mysterious elements, every detail makes people feel novel, and the film itself The logic is also very strict. It can explain the formation of Zombie(s), the attack, propagation and restraint methods of Zombie(s) very successfully, and can't find any BUG, ​​which is more interesting to them.

Finally, the new version of "Plant Wars Zombie(s)Online" really planted the seeds of curiosity and a rough prototype impression of China Zombie(s), so I have a little more expectation for this movie. When I see this movie After the content can be matched with the image in the game, the movie viewing experience has been further improved.

Based on these actual conditions, Lucas, with his keen sense of experience for many years, inferred that if "Zombie(s)" is released in North America, it will not be a big problem to win the 50 million USD box office on the basis of the current masses.

Moreover, this is only one. The Li Mu animal has bought out the copyrights of Zombie(s) movies and TV dramas accumulated over the years in Hong Kong. If "Zombie(s)" is a hit, the whole China Zombie(s) theme will have at least another follow-up Tens of millions of USD and even hundreds of millions of USD box office space.

For these box office, go to China and talk to Muye Pictures in person to prove your sincerity. If you have the opportunity to meet Li Mu, it would be better.

......

Spielberg told Li Mu by phone about Lucas ’decision to come to Beijing. Li Mu was not going to follow up this matter in person, but when he heard Spielberg said, Lucas is the largest in the United States. One of the movie distributors decided to meet him personally.

Lucas hurried to Yanjing for two purposes, one is to talk about the North American distribution rights of Zombie(s), and the other is to meet Li Mu.

Although Lucas is very influential in the American film industry, when he jumps out of the movie circle, his influence will be greatly reduced. Especially in the face of big entrepreneurs and top rich people, the people in the movie circle have no status at all. Not to mention Lucas, even the sleazy Harvey Weinstein of Hollywood will have to be an ascetic baby on Wall Street.

Because of this, Lucas especially pinned his hopes on this China trip, hoping to meet Li Mu in Spielberg ’s offline.

When he got a clear reply from Spielberg before he boarded the plane, telling him that Li Mu was willing to meet him at Yanjing, he was excited all the way for more than ten hours of flying, not only did he not close his eyes Instead, he didn't feel tired at all.

When the plane was at Yanjing airport landing, it was two o'clock in the afternoon of Yanjing time. Li Mu arranged for the Muye Science and Technology driver to meet him at the airport. At the same time, the driver representative made two arrangements for him: go to the hotel to rest, and tomorrow morning to Muye Science and Technology Li Mu interview, or go directly to Muye Science and Technology to meet Li Mu.

Lucas chose the latter almost without hesitation. although has not closed his eyes for more than 20 hours.

The driver took Lucas to Muye Science and Technology and handed it to the executives of Muye Science and Technology. After a while, Li Ziwei knocked on the door of the Li Mu office and said to him: "Chief Li, Lucas Ben of the United States has come, you Would you like to see him now? "

Li Mu nodded: "Let him come in."

After a while, Lucas followed Li Ziwei to the Li Mu office. When Lucas saw Li Mu himself, he said excitedly: "Hello Mr. Li, I am very honored to see you!"

"It's also an honor to see you." Li Mu replied in skilled English, then walked out of his desk, pointed to the sofa in the reception area, and said to him: "Have-a-seat -please, Mr. Ben. "

Lucas heard Li Mu calling himself Mr. Ben, and hastily said respectfully: "Mr. Li, please call me Lucas."

Li Mu nodded and smiled: "Okay, Lucas, please sit down. Would you like some coffee or tea?"

"Coffee bar, thank you!" Lucas although is very excited, but the body has already felt tired, worried about his lack of state when interviewing Li Mu.

Li Mu said to Li Ziwei: "Arrange to pour Lucas a cup of coffee and make me a cup of tea by the way."

"Okay Chief Li." Li Ziwei finished and turned away, Li Mu sat opposite Lucas and said to him: "Welcome to China Lucas, especially when it is rumored that China is very dangerous. , It takes courage. "

Lucas laughed: "Mr. Li, we have learned the actual situation of the Yanjing outbreak through your statement. I think Yanjing is not as dangerous as many media renderings."

Looking again, Lucas said: "Not to mention Yanjing is to meet you, even if it is dangerous, I must come over."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Lucas, I think Steven has already told you my needs?"

"Yes." Lucas nodded again and again, "He told me that you want to release Hong Kong's 1985" Mr. Zombie(s) "to North America for release, just because I am particularly interested in the film and very optimistic. So I quickly arrived by plane. "

Li Mu asked him: "Do you also know the movie" Mr. Zombie(s) "?"

Lucas said: "Of course, since the update of the new version of" Plant Wars Zombie(s)Online ", some elements and background about China Zombie(s) are very popular in North America. Most people want to know more about the legend of China Zombie(s) For details, there are many articles and contents on the Internet that use this movie material to explain. In the movie "Mr. Zombie(s)", the background of China Zombie(s), the reasons for its formation, the combat effectiveness and the way to deal with them are well explained. Especially the role of the director is very interesting and the skills are very interesting, so the audience is looking forward to this movie. In my opinion, this movie already has a good potential audience base, if it can be released in North America , The box office will certainly be more impressive. "

Li Mu asked him: "Do you think, if this movie is given to you for distribution throughout North America, how much can you do at the box office?"

"50 million USD, maybe more!" Lucas said: "Now the public is very popular. If it can be released as soon as possible to avoid wasting or even missing the heat, I think 6-7 million USD is not a problem."

Li Mu nodded and asked him: "If we cooperate, according to your normal process and rules for introducing overseas movie copyright, how much can the copyright party get at the actual box office?"

Lucas said: "This is not necessarily, we have done it all, don't divide it at the box office, and have done 30% or more."

Li Mu asked curiously: "Is there any copyright party not to be divided?"

"Yes." Lucas said: "But those are some niche and small-produced movies. The copyright owners generally want to open up the situation, so I would rather not spend a penny at the box office, and hope that we can help them. Open influence, but the quality of such movies is generally poor. Even if it is not divided into cents, we may not be willing to operate. After all, if the movie is too bad, Cinema will refuse to arrange it. "

Speaking of this, Lucaston paused and said: "Normal commercial films are generally around 20-30%. If you are willing to hand over the North American distribution rights of" Mr. Zombie(s) "to my company, Then I can give you the highest percentage of shares within my ability, 35%! "

For Lucas, he ran a China, followed by making money, and it was the key to catching the Li Mu line. The MA14 ticket system in the hands of Li Mu will play an important role in the box office in North America in the future. The influence will definitely increase. In this case, you will have many opportunities to deal with Li Mu's companies and platforms in the future. If you have a good relationship with Li Mu in advance, it will be very beneficial to you. Guarantee.

Li Mu heard him speak 35%. I knew that the offer he gave was indeed very good. Except for the share of Cinema and various taxes, he gave himself 35%. Lucas was working for himself in this single transaction.

Lucas thought that Li Mu would be very satisfied with this sincere offer, but the first sentence of didn't expect and Li Mu was asking: "If I only need 15%, and then take the extra 20% apart, 10% for you, 10% for Cinema, how much room do you think the movie box office can improve? "

"10% more for Cinema?" Lucas blurted out and asked.

Li Mu nodded: "Yes, you and Cinema, 10% each. What I want is not how much money I can earn, but how much box office this movie can eventually achieve in North America, you can understand what I mean Right? "

Lucas nodded immediately.

More sharing for Cinema is to provide power for Cinema, Li Mu does not want to make more money, but hopes that the box office is as high as possible, it is bound to want to bring the movie's influence to the highest.

Think also, if it ’s just tens of millions of USD at the box office, even if Li Mu's Muye Pictures scores 35%, it ’s just a 20 million USD income. This kind of money is not worth his effort, and it ’s not worth his time. For himself, what he wants is not money, but influence.

Thinking this, Lucas immediately stated: "Mr. Li, if you only need 15% of the box office to share, then I promise you that all the remaining 20% ​​will be returned to Cinema in various forms. ! "
