Entertainment: Top Agents
Chapter 271
Liang Lin now needs to make a good plan on how to invest in Wu Jing to maximize his own benefits.
《The box office of"Wolf Warrior 1", if I remember correctly, was 520 million.
Wu Jing is the director and starring actor. If he wants to share the box office dividend, he can only give 5%, which is 26 million.
If Wu Jing invests in, he will try to get 10% of the dividend, but he will only be able to get 52 million.
A 40% share of 520 million is 208 million.
Among the 208 million, Wu Jing's 10% dividend will get 52 million, leaving 156 million. After deducting costs, Liang Lin can earn about 100 million.
This movie actually doesn't have much, so it's completely acceptable to make less money for this movie.
The key is"Wolf Warrior 2".
The first film allowed Wu Jing to avoid box office dividends, but the second film would not allow him to receive dividends.
As long as the box office of the first film exceeds 500 million, it means there is a market for it.
When it comes to the second film, Wu Jing will definitely strive for box office dividends.
This is the most important.
If Wu Jing doesn't invest in the second film, but still wants 5% of the director and starring dividends, then that would be 280 million.
But if Wu Jing is not allowed to make some money, this IP was also created by Wu Jing.
Wouldn't it be bad if I kept it all to myself?
If he wanted to monopolize it, Liang Lin also had a way.
It was before the release of the first part that the second part was filmed.
As long as the second part is filmed in advance and Wu Jing is paid when signing the contract, then he can maximize Wu Jing's salary and not box office dividends.
For example, tell Wu Jing now, I will invest in two movies for you, and you can just finish them in one go.
Wu Jing was definitely very happy when he learned that the two movies were being filmed back-to-back. He would definitely agree if he only received salary and no dividends, and the salary might even be lower.
But in this case, it doesn’t seem to be good.
He still had to make some money for Wu Jing, otherwise he would always feel that it would not be good for him to be so calculating.
After all, Wu Jing also sincerely asked him to cooperate. If Wu Jing found someone else to invest, he might not even have the opportunity to invest, and he would have missed more than 2 billion.
To understand this, Liang Lin thought it was better to be a human being.
"Well, since you are so confident in your script, I believe you for once"
"I voted for both of your movies. You shot two movies back-to-back."
"This saves you from having to think about it. You can just tell us how much the investment in the two movies will cost."
Liang Lin said so generously about investing in two of his movies, Wu Jing was very surprised.
"Don't be kidding, if you vote for one movie it will be good, why don't you vote for the second one?"
"After the first part has lost money, are you stupid to still invest in my second part?"
Wu Jing's words made Liang Lin feel even more guilty. They are still thinking about preventing him from losing money.
But he is thinking about how to make more money?
Alas~ After such a comparison, he is so inhuman.
"Aren't you very confident in your movie? Why, I haven’t invested in you yet, and you think you’ll lose money?"Liang Lin was a little angry and laughed.
"No, no, to be honest, the script is a good one, but I really have no idea about the market."
It's rare for someone to invest in him. Wu Jing really doesn't want Liang Lin to suffer too much loss.
Liang Lin thought about it and then said to Wu Jing:"Well, let's do it. I'll invest 70 million for you in the first part."
"According to the quotation you just gave me, your director's salary is 2 million, and the starring's salary is 5 million; the salary of other actors is also controlled at around 12 million, the overall actor's salary is 20 million, and the remaining 50 million is the shooting cost, so there is no problem Bar?"
"Can!"Wu Jing thought this was okay, and said,"If the cost exceeds the cost, I will take care of it myself."
Liang Lin nodded silently, agreeing to Wu Jing.
But if that time comes, he will definitely invest in it himself and will not let Wu Jing invest in it again.
"As for the investment in the second part, you can provide me with a budget for the shooting cost and other actors."
"Then, your director's salary and actor's salary can be doubled for the second film. How about that?"
In the end, Liang Lin still felt that he had to bear the box office of this movie alone.
After the movie's box office came out, he would give Wu Jing a 20 million red envelope. It would not be better than giving Wu Jing a share of 280 million. Is it a lot?
5% share, nearly 300 million box office share, of course, give him a salary and a red envelope.
"Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say. As long as I can direct these two works well, it doesn’t matter whether I make money or not. What I care about is the work."
Wu Jing had no objection to this proposal. On the contrary, he was very upright.
But when he was so upright, Liang Lin felt even more like he was no longer a human being.
You are thinking about directing good works, but I am thinking about how you can make money..
In this comparison, I am really too insidious; but... insidious is insidious, 2 billion.
Anyone who can make 2 billion will be insidious.
"Then come up with a budget and see how much it will cost to shoot the second part."
"I will give it to you when the time comes, and then you can arrange your own shooting schedule."
"I'll invest in you while I still have liquid funds. Otherwise, I won't know what other projects I've invested in and I'll be locked in and won't be able to invest in you."
"OK OK OK."Liang Lin said so, of course Wu Jing agreed.
In fact, the main reason is that Liang Lin is afraid of long nights and dreams, so the most important thing is to sign the agreement as soon as possible.
As long as the agreement is signed, filming can start anytime.
As long as there is As long as the agreement is in place, it will be fine by then.
A 5% box office dividend is what Liang Lin can accept for Wu Jing, and nothing more will do.
"Hehe, since I want to make a movie, you also invested in me." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"If I am short of actors, your artists will make friendly guest appearances for me."
After Wu Jing said this request with a playful smile, Liang Lin smiled:"It's impossible."
"Don't be like this, just support me."
Wu Jing was so anxious, Liang Lin smiled and said:"It's not that I don't support it! The key is that my actors are not suitable either."
"Yang Mi! Liu Yifei! Zhao Liying! Dilireba! Who can play a female police officer or a female special forces soldier?"
"I read the script, and Long Xiaoyun can be considered a captain of the special forces."
"The beauties in my family are either too sexy or too fairy, or they are too cute and sweet."
"Where can I find a suitable heroine like the female captain of the special forces who is fiercer than men?"
"No, no, no, they are not qualified. Let them play the role, which will ruin the role of Long Xiaoyun."
When these words came out, Wu Jing looked at Liu Yifei beside him.
In the end, he nodded silently and agreed with Liang Lin's evaluation.
It's not that their acting skills are not good, but their appearance and temperament are indeed inappropriate.
"You still have a good sense and have even considered this."
"This is not a matter of lack of vision, but that some actors are really not suitable for that kind of role."
"It's very dramatic to act."Liang Lin really feels that none of them are suitable for this kind of role.
"Otherwise, you are too young! Whose girl can become the captain of the special forces at the age of 26 or 7?"Liang Lin's words made Wu Jing laugh out loud.
Yes, age is also a problem. It is indeed very inappropriate.
"It's okay if you let her guest star in other roles, but forget about Long Xiaoyun."
"Use your connections to choose."Liang Lin told him not to think too much.
After talking about this topic, Wu Jing asked Liang Lin:"Seriously, do you have any special themes?"
"It’s something I’ve never acted before. It’s my first time shooting a Jurassic-themed movie like this."
"What other science fiction movies are more suitable for me?"
When Wu Jing asked about this, Liang Lin nodded:"Yes, there is one, but you may not like it."
"Tell me?"Wu Jing became interested. Liang Lin said this, it must be a good script.
"It's a science fiction action movie, that's for sure, but this kind of action movie is also 697 different."
"It's all about boxing, can you accept that?"
"If you, a martial arts athlete, are asked to play a boxer, would you accept it?"
"Of course, this kind of boxing does not really mean that you will be a boxer, but you will become a robot coach."
"My script is called"Iron Fist", and it tells the story of a few decades in the future, where boxing matches will no longer be fought by real people, but by robot boxing matches in the future world."
Listening carefully to what Liang Lin said about this topic, Wu Jing was particularly interested.
Is it a future robot boxing match?
"In other words, I will play a former boxer and then become a robot boxing coach? Is that what you mean?"After Wu Jing heard this, he finally sorted it out.
"Yes, that's almost it, but the problem is, the setting is a boxer, and you are a martial arts student. Now I ask you to play a boxer, can you do it?"
"If you can accept it, then of course I'd love to have you act."
"After all, there are fewer and fewer tough guy actors nowadays. I originally planned to find Peng Yuyan, but he was too young, because in the movie, the male protagonist also has a son who is about 10 years old.
Wu Jing laughed and said,"That's no problem. Give me this project and I'll act in it.""
"I will make this movie right after I direct the two"Wolf Warriors" films"
"Just give me more than a year to learn boxing. When the time comes, I can start it at any time."
Now that Wu Jing is determined to take the role, Liang Lin certainly wants it. Liang
Lin previously selected several candidates to star in this movie.
Peng Yuyan and Zhang Jiahui were Liang Lin's candidates. Before Wu Jing is not.
But now that Wu Jing said he wants to act, Liang Lin thinks there is no problem. If he wants to act, let him act.
It is just compensation for the box office he earned from his"Wolf Warrior" series of movies.
And If Wu Jing, a tough guy, plays the role, it would definitely be the most suitable one...
