Entertainment: The Road to an Actor Starting from a Villain

Peng Fa actually deserved to be beaten.

He used Zhou Chen to attract beauties, and he used beauties to attract filmmakers!

He is an iron bastard!
But this bastard's method is really effective.

There were only four screenings of "The Murderer" in total, and when it premiered, very few filmmakers came.

But in the next four games, the number of studios began to increase slowly.

Especially in the third scene, those beauties who were going to see Zhou Chen didn't even grab those film dealers.

Although the filmmakers were a little disappointed when they entered the screening hall and saw big men around them, the film did not disappoint them.

Although thrillers belong to niche movies, they have more market in Europe and America than movies like "The Great Wall".

Coupled with Zhou Chen's attraction to female audiences, the filmmakers present were even more moved.

Since they are filmmakers, they have a more precise grasp of the market.

They don't care if the movie is good or not, they just want to see if it can sell for money!

Therefore, after the movie ended, many people approached the producer to discuss copyright on behalf of Lao Liu.

This is not good for the old Liu.

Peng Fa was also very excited in the ward, shouting that the beating was not in vain!

Seeing him like this, Zhou Chen shook his head in his heart, how old he is to still look like this.

Walking out of the ward, a balding middle-aged man leaned over very lewdly.

"Is it Mr. Zhou?"

"you are?"

Zhou Chen looked at the middle-aged man with some vigilance.

After all, this is a foreign country, and vigilance is necessary.

The bald man hastily handed out a business card.

"I'm the person in charge of Corelli Image Company, my name is Saul~!"

"Our company specializes in discs, and we also have our own distribution channels throughout Europe!"

When Saul talked about his company, he was still a little confident.

"Mr. Zhou, can we talk?"

Zhou Chen looked at the business card in his hand, and then at the humble middle-aged man.

He felt that he and a person from a video company should have nothing to talk about. After all, the other party does not make movies, but only distributes video tapes.

What does this have to do with Zhou Chen, an actor?

But he finally nodded.

Sol immediately had an expression of surprise on his face, and he and Zhou Chen walked to the bench outside the hospital.

Zhou Chen handed over a can of frozen beer before asking:
"Mr. Saul, you can now tell me what you want from me."

Sol gulped down half a can of beer to relax.

huh~~
He took a deep breath and said:

"Mr. Zhou, it's like this~"

Sol gave a detailed account of the European film market.

Europe and the United States are different from China. In addition to releasing movies in theaters and the Internet, they will also be released on videotapes and Blu-ray discs.

There are even small film studios that specialize in shooting films and distributing them in the video tape market.

And the video tax is not high, and not so many people share.

The income in this is sometimes not much lower than the original line.

In fact, Huaxia had the possibility of taking this path at the beginning, but it was too damaged by pirated discs.

Speaking of Saul, his imaging company specializes in acquiring film copyrights and making videotapes.

But the current video tape market is not easy to do. After all, there are Internet and movie theaters, and few people choose to use DV players at home.

And because the company is too small and the ability to distribute goods is not strong, it is becoming more and more difficult for Saul to buy the copyright to make video tapes.

This time at the Cannes Film Festival, he begged everywhere, just wanting to buy the copyright of a good movie.

But how could a good movie choose Saul's small company.

Zhou Chen took a sip of the cold beer, and the cold feeling shook his spirits.

"Three questions!"

He looked at Sol, who was looking pitiful next to him.

"First of all, why do you think our movie can make money?"

"Secondly, why do you think we'll sell you the rights?"

"In the end, I'm just an actor, why did you find me?"

After speaking, Zhou Chen took another sip of wine.

Don't blame him for being direct, he is just such a person!

Sol also took a sip of his wine and looked at Zhou Chen with burning eyes.

"Will you help me after I answer these three questions of yours?"

Zhou Chen spread his hands.

"Maybe! But I'm more likely to help you with money than to help you."

It's not relative, why would Zhou Chen help a foreigner in a foreign country?
Saul also understood this truth, he nodded and said:
"First of all, I think this movie can make money because the mainstream movies in the European and American video tape markets are thrillers!"

Video tapes are a small market, and thrillers are niche movies, but they are the mainstream in video tapes.

This combination seems a bit weird, but many people just like to watch some horror, ghost and strange movies at home.

In order to demonstrate his point of view, Saul also took out the sales records of previous years, and the top rankings were all thrillers.

The best-selling movie on video in Europe was the horror film The Legend of the Blood Wolf.

Zhou Chen has never heard of this movie, but it has sold 10,000+ discs.

In other words, this disc alone can earn millions of euros!
There is also the American market, which also contributed a similar amount of sales.

In addition to the source, there is another place that Zhou Chen would not have thought of without reading the document.

Africa!

Adding up the whole world, earning tens of millions is still possible!
After reading these, Zhou Chen was also moved.

At this time Sol continued:
"Now I can answer your second question, this is my last chance! I will do everything to release this movie!"

He stared at Zhou Chen, and his tone became more serious than ever.

"I know that Mr. Zhou's status in the crew is not low, I hope you can help me reach an agreement with the producer!"

"As long as you can achieve 5% share, I am willing to give it to you!"

Even though the profit ratio of the video tape market is high, the 5% share is still quite a large share.

It can be seen that Saul really wants to win this movie.

Zhou Chen finished drinking the frozen beer in his hand, and said lightly:
"10%! I promise to help you get it!"

Sol looked at Zhou Chen's handsome side face and gritted his teeth!

If it is 10%, he can't guarantee how much money he can earn.

Zhou Chen looked at it but smiled and said:

"I don't want your money, but I use your money to do your business!"

"Mr. Saul, do you understand?"

Sometimes these foreigners just lack a kind of wisdom, such a simple truth needs to be pointed out by Zhou Chen.

5% is what Zhou Chen deserves. It is impossible for him to spend money from what he deserves to do things for others.

This is a very simple reason.

Sol froze for a moment.

"Is this the wisdom of ancient China?"

"No!"

Zhou Chen shook his head and said confidently:

"This is the way of the world!"

Saul was also fooled by Zhou Chen's appearance at the moment.

"Okay! 10%!"
