Chapter 141 Master Gathering

"I don't know what happened to Mr. William came to me this time?" After the politeness, Li Yihua must go straight to the point. You must know that Europeans and Americans like to go straight to each other. Instead of wasting time, it's better to make it clear.

"Oh, Mr. Li, I am on behalf of our Dimen Film Company, and I hope to release "Saw" in North America on behalf of the release of "Saw"." William looked at Li Yihua and said.

"Mr. William is interested in our video?"

"Yes, the movie "Saw" you directed is definitely a top-notch work, both in terms of shooting techniques and visual effects. I can't believe that this movie only invested more than 100,000 US dollars, which is amazing!" William, as a professional agent, speaks very well, pointing out the excitement of the film.

"Although our Dimen Film Company is not large in scale, it has enough channels for the release of the film. I believe that this movie will definitely bring you a win-win situation when handed over to our company for distribution."

"Mr. William, if we give the film North America's release and distribution rights to you, how do you plan to cooperate?" Li Yihua already knows Dimen Company very well and knows that they have a wide range of channels, so he directly interrupted William's words.

"Our company plans to buy out directly, with a price of 500,000 US dollars. I believe this is a suitable price." William looked at Li Yihua and asked directly, without saying anything more, and directly said the price in his heart.

After all, the Venice Film Festival is also one of the most important film trading markets in the world. Participating in the film festival is to sell "selling films" higher. Foreign film manufacturers buy the distribution rights and copyrights of a country or region. The film manufacturers place orders in advance when they target some of the films, because they are afraid that the price will rise after the film wins the award.

"Haha, Mr. William, don't you feel that this is unfair to me? "Saw" is a popular film at this film festival. You want to buy its release for just 500,000 US dollars. Isn't it ridiculous? By the way, it has a box office of more than 3 billion yen in Japan." Although Li Yihua did not say that the price is low, the meaning is clear at a glance.

"Although your video has achieved such good results in Hong Kong, Japan, and even Southeast Asia, it is different in North America. One is the obscurity of the film, and the differences in Eastern and Western cultures. This requires the company to do a lot of publicity, and the cost of publicity will far exceed the cost of your video." William shook his head and said. Although he is optimistic about this video, if it exceeds the bottom line, he will still choose to give up.

"Mr. William said everything is true, but what if it can win the awards at the film festival? As long as it is simple to promote, it will definitely attract a large number of viewers. Besides, I have added many Hollywood shooting techniques in this movie, and even the style and concepts of European and American horror movies, so don't worry about cultural differences!" Li Yihua agreed with a little rebuttal.

"How do Mr. Li want to cooperate?" William chewed the meaning of this sentence and knew that the previous price could not be met.

"Mr. William, is it too early to talk about cooperation now? You must know that the film festival has just begun. Let's wait until it is over and have a good talk." Seeing him anxious, Li Yihua became more calmer and made a gesture and said.

"Mr. Li, it's very adventurous to do this. You have to know that if you don't win the award, "Saw" wouldn't have the current price. I hope you can consider it." I don't know how courageous he came, but William said with concern as he saw that the film was about to be sold out.

"I want to take a gamble!" Li Yihua thought for a moment and smiled seriously.

"That's a pity!" After saying that, William shook his head and left.

"Young Master Yi, William has given a lot of money. Isn't it too risky to do this?" Liang Jiahui said with concern.

"The journey of life must be full of adventure to make sense. "Saw" is worth a gamble, isn't it?"

.........

The film festival is a hodgepodge, full of wonders. You can see everything you want to see, and you can also become the object of people's tracking. Li Yihua is like this now. He has met many of his international directors and has also become idols of movie fans. Life is really wonderful.

"Sorry, I don't plan to sell the copyright of "Saw" yet, so I'll talk about it later in the film festival."

Li Yihua said such words more than once, and his face froze (Wang Zhuxian, who translated for him, also looked depressed. In order to facilitate writing, he would not write about translation in the future) It seems that he is really not suitable for such social occasions.

"Are you Yihua. Li?" A middle-aged man with a bearded hair, a little bald, and speaks loudly.

"Yes!" Li Yihua looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and intuition told him that the man was the same person as him, and asked curiously, "Who are you?"

"My name is Wes Craven, I'm very happy to know you!" said the middle-aged man.

"Huh..." Li Yihua took a breath and looked at the man in front of him again.

If he didn't say it, Li Yihua would never have thought that the generous middle-aged man in front of him would be the "horror godfather" in the minds of many horror movie enthusiasts. His representative works include "Ghost Street" and "Screaming" series.

"I just watched your "Saw" and it's really good. The plot is very compact and I attract movie fans with suspense. That feeling is really great. I really admire you, the director and screenwriter." Wes Craven was extremely impressed by the young man in front of me.

"There is there." Li Yihua said modestly, and was really blushed when he was praised by this master.

"I also like your "Ghost Street". The scenes inside are very impactful. Compared with you, my videos are far inferior to you." The special effects technology is not yet mature, and most of the special effects of the videos are models or makeup, and even if they are twenty years later, the effect will be very realistic.

After complimenting each other, as two people with the same interests, although there are age gaps, they will soon chat together. Especially some ideas on special effects, they are all unique techniques, and often a point will make people suddenly understand. This is very useful for shooting some similar videos in the future.

"It's really fun to chat with you, and I'm looking forward to making a movie with you." Wes Craven said with a smile on his face.

"Me too!"

After getting the signature of Wes Craven, I was fortunate to chat with this master for a few words and exchange contact information with each other. Li Yihua was very satisfied. This time he made friends with many future directors. The film festival is really full of great directors. Li Yihua knew that he could also become one of them and become a famous international director.
