Director’s Legend

() If a Chinese film is released in North America, if the copyright is bought out, only the copyright fee will be paid. If it is a guaranteed share of the account, in addition to the guaranteed buyout fee, you can also earn a little share of the money. If it is to take the sharing method, it has always been 13% to 17%. The higher the box office, the higher the share will be. As for Hollywood blockbusters, except for the 35% share of 20 movies per year, the rest are also at similar prices.

Shao Shuaijun looked at the huge sum of over 20 million allocated by Lionsgate, and couldn't help feeling: "Lao Mei's money is really good, 17% is divided into four families, and you can get more than 20 million. If this is in the United States How much should I earn if I directly start a company, directly shoot and invest in movies!"

Li Xiuxiu interrupted Shao Shuaijun's intention while calculating the accounts: "Don't think too much, it's not realistic to make a movie in the United States. If you don't have your own foundation, you still have to be exploited by American companies. When will you become famous enough in the United States?" Yes, the movies I make make Americans look forward to it, and I will take the initiative to talk to you about distribution and release, so that I can make a lot of money from Americans."

"Sister Xiuxiu, look a little farther away. Within two or three years, I will definitely step into the ranks of Hollywood directors." Shao Shuaijun looked at the bank account displayed on the computer and smiled happily, "By the way, the box office statistics in Asia Yet?"

"Well, plus plus minus minus, the total is 220 million yuan, because many of them are directly buying and selling copyrights, and the money that can be recovered is about 60 million yuan. The four companies share one point, and the studio can get 15 million yuan. However, there are Are you mentally prepared?"

"You mean the domestic box office? Go ahead."

"Hehe, the domestic box office is only 98 million yuan, which is less than half of the overseas box office in Asia." Li Xiuxiu put down her pen and looked up at Shao Shuaijun, "What do you think?"

Shao Shuaijun frowned: "It should be that the movie doesn't suit Chinese tastes? Asia has been cultivated by Hollywood for more than ten years, and their tastes have begun to get used to Hollywood style. "Source Code" has a strong taste of Hollywood when it came out. I guess it's right. to their taste."

"Of course not. Although I just returned to China, I asked about it. The afternoon show of the movie theater was almost full. It's not much worse than "Crazy Racing", but it only got such a small box office. I'm sorry no matter what. The domestic media's crazy reports, and Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei's hard publicity."

"you mean?"

"Quite simply, the box office is compressed."

"Steal the box office?"

Li Xiuxiu shook her head: "It's not about stealing the box office, it's about being compressed, that is to say, the theater company didn't report the data truthfully. Now you understand that some people don't want the box office to exceed 100 million. This is to deceive us together."

"For the 5% of the box office share, it's impossible. Even if the mainland box office is 200 million, the 5% of the share is only a few million. As for?" Shao Shuaijun's face froze, and he vaguely glimpsed some clues.

"It's not a matter of 5%. You miscalculated. Because the part of the box office that is concealed is equivalent to leaving you behind and they continue to share. For example, suppose there is a total of 100 million that can be used to divide the accounts, but they are now equivalent to We only took 50 million yuan to share, and 5% of the 50 million yuan will be exploited from you, and the remaining 50 million yuan will be divided by several of them jointly, and you will be excluded. How much do you think your loss is?"

The higher the box office, the greater the loss.

Shao Shuaijun suddenly understood that his complacent mood because of the success in North America had immediately plummeted to the bottom. Yin asked with a sullen face, "What should I do?"

"If I were you, I would go to Huayi Brothers to find Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei now, and ask them clearly." Li Xiuxiu's face showed no change of emotion, "However, there is no way to change the result after thinking about it. Some people are wolves. The meat inside will never come out." Of course, it's good to ask. "

"I'm going to find Wang Zhongjun right now! I've worked so hard to make movies, let them invest and let them share the money, but I'm still playing tricks on me. If this matter is not resolved, it will never end!" Shao Shuaijun was furious, and went out directly to the headquarters of Huayi Brothers .

Seeing the back of Shao Shuaijun leaving, Li Xiuxiu suddenly smiled: "Ah Jun, you are too naive, you want to make a big cake and think about future profits, but they can only see what is in front of you and grab your food. I hope this time you can I have learned a lesson, don’t give easily and forget to ask for it, and you must have your own foundation wherever you go, in order to be invincible.”

A few minutes later, Li Xiuxiu put away her smile and picked up the phone: "Hey, Wang Yixue, where are you and Sloppy? You go back to the company to manage for a while, I need to go to Japan for something, um, okay. "

In the afternoon, Shao Shuaijun came back.

"How did the talk go?"

"The box office has indeed been compressed. Huayi Brothers will take what they got and make up for my part. As for Poly Bona and Media Asia Variety, what Wang Zhongjun means is that he will help me fight for it."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, my mind is in a mess right now." Leaning back on the sofa, Shao Shuaijun said with a little indignation, "Anyway, I will definitely get the money back. As for Poly Bona and Media Asia Variety, I will never Will work together again!"

Li Xiuxiu stood up, stretched her waist, and said with exquisite curves: "Ah Jun, if you still want to continue in the film industry, I suggest you just ignore this incident. There are many black people in the entertainment industry, who have you met?" Are you embarrassing? You have said it yourself. China is a society of human feelings. Behind Poly Bona is the central enterprise Poly Group, and behind Media Asia Variety Show is the leading film company China Film Group. They can directly manipulate the theaters and tear them apart. Shameless, don’t even think about showing your movie in mainland movie theaters. And Huayi Brothers, don’t treat them as good people. Without Huayi Brothers’ nod in advance, will the box office be compressed so grandiosely? If you can’t figure it out, be If you cheat, you will cheat, and if you figure it out, the second king will change his tone. In any case, you are affiliated with their company and you have to rely on them. They are not afraid of turning your face against you, and you are indeed not qualified to turn your face."

"Sister Xiuxiu, I don't like to hear your words. What do you mean I am not qualified to turn my face? I have made a lot of money in three movies now. "Source Code" has a global box office of 800 million. If I leave these few companies, I will have no place to go." ?Even if I leave China, I can go to the United States and still be successful! Believe it or not!"

"What kind of temper are you throwing at me? I'm analyzing it for you and planning for you." Li Xiuxiu pinched her waist and yelled back.

Li Xiuxiu doesn't get angry easily, but when she got angry, Shao Shuaijun was taken aback, and said with a dry smile: "I'm not in a bad mood, sister Xiuxiu, go ahead and I'll listen."

"Hmph! Listen carefully, the environment in the United States is not much better than that in China. The six major film companies have almost monopolized the theater market. For the time being, it is better not to go there and consolidate the position in China. You have also seen that if you want to develop in China , There will be many things that bite each other, you have to learn to compromise and protect yourself."

Seeing Shao Shuaijun listening to the lecture with an open mind, Li Xiuxiu's tone softened a little: "Ah Jun, Sister Hua is in Japan now and is discussing a major event, you should have heard the news. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I hope you can Get involved in this negotiation."
