442 Chapter 439 "Resident Evil" Series (4) (1/2)

Konstantin Pictures Headquarters Building, Frankfurt, Germany.

As the fifth largest city in Germany, Frankfurt is the transportation and financial center of the state of Hessen, located on the lower reaches of the Main River, a tributary of the central Rhine.

On December 7, in the business building not far from Frankfurt Cathedral.

Paul Anderson is sitting in the reception room waiting.

After a while, a 30-year-old middle-aged person came in, with a pleasant tone: ”Mr. Anderson has a sequel shooting plan?”

”Just to discuss this.” Paul Anderson nodded.

”Then why don't you see the heads of several other companies?” The middle-aged man was a little strange.

Constantine Pictures, as one of the investors, has the largest share and its strength is also the strongest.

They not only account for about 40% of the investment, Constantine is also responsible for the distribution of the ”Resident Evil” series in Germany, and they are even responsible for the bargaining power in certain areas of the international market-Constantine and other international publishers are nothing. The difference is that the distribution strength is also based on contacting theater chains or cooperating with local distribution companies.

As for the fact that they were able to get this, it was also because Paul Anderson's proposal to adapt the movie to the game was the right to be obtained by Constantine Films contacting Capcom.

Among them, Paul Anderson himself has the deepest cooperative relationship with Constantine-this guy is an Englishman, but he has close contacts with German film and television companies, which is also a wonderful thing.Of course, only Constantine has the vision to give great trust to Paul Anderson to shoot ”Resident Evil”.Knowledge of people is the biggest factor.

To know his adaptation plan, the British film company did not pay attention to it.

After all, in 2002, there was a game adaptation, except for the ”Tomb Raider” series.

The success rate is so low, and the investment risk is so great, who would dare to make this determination-Constantine Pictures did it, or they would make a lot of money.

The relationship between the two of them is much closer than that of other investors. The others are all compromises made to break into Hollywood. There is no local network to pave the way. The Wall Street Foundation is the backing. How can ”Resident Evil” be like this? Can you slowly develop towards Hollywood?

The middle-aged chatted with Paul Anderson.

After a while, Paul Anderson thoughtfully said: ”I heard that those companies want to increase their investment share, but also get more offline income?”

The middle-aged man laughed: ”The market for ”Apocalypse” in North America is more than the market in Europe combined, and they are responsible for the distribution in North America. Why can't we rely on such revenue as a barrier? The meticulous planning and shooting of us outsiders from scratch is better than others occupying the market and directly grabbing them. If you want to make a lot of money in movies, you have to watch Hollywood, then you have to look at the faces of others. Ha!”

The middle-aged man sneered twice and stopped talking.

This is also a headache for many film production companies.

Hollywood distribution to other places can only be coordinated; if movies from other places want to enter Hollywood, it depends on whether the domestic power of the United States can help.Otherwise, it will be difficult to sell.

Think about it, the film industry in Japan, South Korea, Germany and France is not weak, but why can't it enter Hollywood.

It's not because the distribution channels of the Big Six and the middle and lower reaches are too complete and difficult to invade.

Occasionally, a good performance is released, and the publishers still eat most of the profits, which makes outsiders reluctant to run to Hollywood.

However, the exchanges between Britain and Hollywood are very frequent, and the way of cooperation is deep.

Impact Pictures is mainly responsible for this, and the French Davis is purely able to sell better in the international market.
