Entertainment: Begin with Damimi as a classmate

Chapter 587: The quarrel at the celebration banquet!!

The next day, Li Di left the capital and joined the crew for filming.

Jiang Feng himself will also attend a movie celebration party tonight.”Pacific Rim” is so successful that there is no reason not to hold a celebration party.

However, at this celebration banquet, a roaring dragon happened.

Because this time their celebration banquet was held together with”Journey to the West, Conquer the Demons”. Jiang Feng also guest-starred in”Journey to the West, Conquer the Demons”. At the same time, this movie was invested and produced by Huayi Brothers, so they knew that”Pacific Rim” would hold a celebration party. The banquet was over, so Huayi Brothers held it together.

They are both celebration banquets within the industry, and holding them together can also facilitate communication between the starring casts of the two movies.

The list of people invited to the celebration banquet will also be richer.

Jiang Feng had no objection to this. It was just a celebration banquet anyway.

But at this celebration banquet, something unpleasant happened

“what happened?”

Jiang Feng, who was chatting with Sun Honglei, Huang Bo, and Zhang Huoyun, heard the commotion and came over to see what was going on.

“Zhou Xingchi and Mr. Wang of Huayi had a verbal dispute.”

Xu Ke, who was invited over, explained to Jiang Feng

《”Transformers 2″ is about to start filming, so it’s not surprising that Xu Ke can appear at the celebration party.

After all, he is also a director, so it is not strange at all to attend the celebration party.

“What exactly happened?”

He still doesn’t know what’s going on here.

“What else could happen? It’s just a dispute over box office dividends.”

“《”Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons” was invested by Huayi. Originally, Huayi promised to give dividends to Zhou Xingchi”

“Now the box office has exceeded 1 billion. According to what Mr. Wang said before, as long as the box office of a movie directed by Xing Zai exceeds 500 million, he will be given a dividend of 80 million.”

“Before the filming started, because Zhou Xingchi believed in Huayi’s attitude when discussing dividends, the 80 million dividend was not stated in the agreement. Huayi agreed verbally, and Xingzi did not draft the agreement.”

“But who knows, the box office has already exceeded 500 million, but Huayi said that this clause was not included in the previously signed contract and refused to pay 80 million in dividends.”

Jiang Feng, who learned about the situation from Xu Ke, finally understood.

He has a good relationship with Master Xing, although they have only collaborated once.

But as Jiang Feng, who grew up watching Master Xing’s movies, he has a good impression of Master Xing. Definitely more than Huayi

“Hey hey~”

Seeing that the quarrel was getting more and more serious, Jiang Feng walked over.

“What’s going on? There was a big fight at the celebration banquet?”

Jiang Feng asked about the situation.

“They were too bullying. When they asked me to make a movie, they agreed to give me 80 million in dividends if the box office exceeded 500 million. Now the box office has exceeded 1 billion. They said that it was just a verbal agreement at the beginning, and they also sent me an electronic agreement, which I didn’t have. I signed the electronic agreement within the specified time, so now the dividends will not be given to me.”

Zhou Xingchi angrily explained the situation to Jiang Feng.

He knew that Jiang Feng had a high status in the circle in the capital, and he was also a capitalist.

He and Jiang Feng had a very good relationship, even though it was only a one-time cooperation.

But this time it was a one -time cooperation. Cooperation, their relationship can be so good, this shows that they are very close to each other.

Jiang Feng had already learned about this, so he asked Mr. Wang of Huayi Brothers:”Mr. Wang, has this been said? Pass?”

Wang Zhonglei is also in a very difficult position now. 80 million is not 8,000 yuan.

He did verbally agree before that he would invest in making a movie for Xingye. He would invest in whatever Zhou Xingchi wants to make, and as long as the box office of this movie can If it exceeds 500 million, he will give Zhou Xingchi a dividend of 80 million.

The cost of this movie is 130 million, and now the box office has exceeded 1 billion.

Based on the current 40% share of the 1 billion box office, Huayi can get 40 million this time A box office dividend of 400 million yuan. After deducting a cost of 130 million yuan, there is still a net income of 370 million yuan. Of this 370 million net income, a box office dividend of 80 million yuan was given to Zhou Xingchi as promised before. Huayi can still earn 290 million.

What’s more, Jiang Feng remembers that the box office of this movie is similar to that of”囧囧”, both exceeding 1.2 billion. In other words, the current 1 billion box office is only temporary.

It will be improved later. After all, the movie has only been released for about 20 days.

“Yes, we have talked about it, and we also sent the electronic agreement to him for signature.”

“But he did not sign the agreement, so we thought he was not satisfied with the 80 million dividend.”

Wang Zhonglei can say this, and Jiang Feng understands it very well.

This shameless answer is all because of the 80 million dividend.

This is 80 million, not 8,000 yuan

“You think Master Xing didn’t sign because he thought he was dissatisfied with the 80 million dividends; but maybe it’s because Master Xing trusts you that he didn’t sign?”

“After all, you have cooperated before, so I think you are very honest. Even if you did not sign the agreement, you should still pay him dividends when the time comes.”

“Of course, the agreement has not been signed. This is a verbal agreement, and of course it cannot be counted.”

“If there is a lawsuit, Huayi will definitely win, and Xingye will definitely lose. After all, there is no agreement signed, and the lawsuit will be judged based on the results of the agreement.”

Jiang Feng’s words touched Mr. Wang’s heart.

Huayi refused to admit this because there was no agreement. As long as the agreement did not state that 80 million in dividends would be paid, then it would be fine even if he went to court. Huayi’s chances of winning will be very high.

Besides, how much does it cost to file a lawsuit? It’s only 10% of the amount involved in the case, which is 8 million. Even if they win the lawsuit, they can get back the 72 million. So Huayi can get back the 72 million.

If you don’t admit this, you don’t have to give Zhou Xingchi 80 million in dividends.

“So what I want to ask now is, did Mr. Wang verbally promise before that if the box office exceeds 500 million, he will give Xingye 80 million in box office dividends?”

Jiang Feng asked Wang Zhonglei if he had made this promise.

“Don’t tell me whether there is an agreement or not, just tell me whether you have agreed or not? Wang Zhonglei was very embarrassed and embarrassed at this time.”

He knew that Jiang Feng was going to stand up for Zhou Xingchi, and he also knew that once Jiang Feng stood up for Zhou Xingchi, the matter would not be that simple.

But in fact, Jiang Feng was really helping the Huayi brothers. After all, he and If a genius like Zhou Xingchi falls out and there is no cooperation later, then what Huayi Brothers loses is not the 80 million, but 800 million.

“yes! I did say it, but he didn’t sign the agreement.”

Wang Zhonglei admitted that he had made a verbal commitment, but Zhou Xingchi did not sign the agreement. If he did not sign the agreement, it would not count.

“Indeed. Jiang

Feng looked at Zhou Xingchi and said,”The amount involved is too large. If there is no agreement, this is indeed your problem.””

Although Zhou Xingchi was angry, he also knew that he was cheated this time.

He was at fault for not signing the agreement; but he also blamed himself for trusting Huayi too much.

“But Mr. Wang, after this incident, you also let me see clearly Huayi’s attitude and appearance.”

“So I verbally promised to cooperate with you on the project last year, but now I don’t want to cooperate with you anymore.”

As soon as Jiang Feng said this, Wang Zhonglei’s face suddenly turned pale.

Jiang Feng had promised to cooperate with Huayi on a film project before, and even agreed on how much money to invest. The casting has even been decided, and the script is still there. I didn’t see it.

Now that Huayi is making such a fuss, there is a problem with integrity. It is completely justified for Jiang Feng, a partner, to terminate the cooperation because he saw that Huayi has no integrity.

Because this cooperation between them also There is also no contract or agreement signed.

“Jiang Feng, you…this matter cannot be mixed up.”

Mr. Wang is anxious now.

We have agreed before that we will collaborate on a work. Huayi will invest and Jiaxing Media will be responsible for the production.

Now Jiaxing Media’s movies have won the box office championship in the Chinese film industry for three consecutive years..

This year’s”Pacific Rim” is, as expected, the box office champion again.

Not only that,”囧囧” was also invested by Jiaxing Media, and now it has made a box office of 1.3 billion.

It can be said that in the past three years, During the period, the total box office market of the Chinese film industry was about 20 billion, of which seven domestic films accounted for about 65%, and the remaining 35% of the box office market was imported films.

And these domestic films accounted for about 65% of the box office market. Among the nearly 13 billion domestic box office generated, Inception is 3.5 billion, Uncle is 1.5 billion, and The Hangover is 1.5 billion. These three movie sets alone are already 6.5 billion. In other words, these three movies have eaten up domestic films. Half of the box office market in Zhongguo.

The 6.5 billion only counts the local box office in Zhongguo, not the foreign box office. Last year, the domestic box office of domestic films in their own country was only 13 billion. Jiaxing Media alone took 6.5 billion, and did not follow. How much will be lost by cooperating with Jiaxing Media?

Wang Zhonglei knows that the loss is huge, can he not be anxious?

“We can’t mix things up, but your Huayi’s appearance and attitude make me very uneasy.”

“In order to avoid unnecessary disputes like this in the future, I think we should terminate our cooperation.”

Of course Jiang Feng knows that”Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” is the last peak of Huayi.

Since then, the movies produced by Huayi in the next ten years have not been good in reputation and box office.

In other words, from and After Xingye’s lawsuit, Huayi has been getting worse year by year.

Xingye’s counterattack is to cooperate with Huayi’s opponents and then produce”Mermaid”, a good movie with a box office of more than 3 billion.

Article, 8000 How many billions have they made?

Jiang Feng helped Zhou Xingchi this time. On the one hand, he was a friend, but on the other hand, he really couldn’t bear to see such capitalists harming stars and directors. On the other hand, he wanted to have a good relationship with Mr. Xing for the sake of Maybe we can collaborate on the movie”Mermaid”.

At this time, Jiang Feng felt that he still had to take a clear stand and help Zhou Xingchi say this…
