Full-level Director
Chapter 598 Preparations for
"Director Lin, if you think that my old Huang's acting skills are not bad, you can ask me to cooperate with you whenever you have a chance, hehe."
After drinking and eating for two hours, the four of them chatted in full swing. Now that the show was about to end, Huang Bo's face was a little red after drinking, and he joked with Lin Juan at this time.
For the same thing, if Liu Xing said it, it must be careless, but for Huang Bo, a man in his forties, it is very comfortable. Lin Juan also said with a smile: "That's for sure, when do I really have time?" The idea of making a comedy, if it is suitable, I must invite Teacher Huang to come."
He is always big on meat and fish, and occasionally Lin Juan wants to eat some green vegetables. For him, making comedies is a way to relax.
"It's best, you can take me with you. I think my comedy performance is okay." Xu Zheng interjected and joked, he was really joking, and he was very relaxed in mind. Tired of shooting under his own hands, he prefers to shoot by himself. Anyway, now that Huaxia has opened up a lot of channels around the world, it is a good time to play.
Compared with Huang Bo, Xu Zheng is no longer such a pure actor. He said this more to adjust the atmosphere and make Huang Bo less embarrassed.
After laughing, Ning Hao asked: "Director Lin, is your "League II" filming about to start?"
"Just getting ready for the preparations, it won't start until next year." Lin Juan said with a smile.
"Then I wish Director Lin the best of luck in the filming. Let me know in private when the movie is scheduled so that I can stay away. Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." Ning Hao stretched out his hand and said with a smile, this is to say goodbye Yes, Lin Juan shook his head amusedly, thinking he was joking, stretched out his hand to hold him, nodded and said, "Let's talk about it later, maybe I will avoid you, okay, go slowly."
"Well, see you soon."
"good."
Looking at the backs of them leaving, Lin Juan let out a sigh of relief, and then burst out laughing. Who would have thought that the little director who had brain problems a few years ago and came to sell movies with a broken laptop on his back would now start to work for him? Are you worried about the development of China's film industry?
Forget it, don't think about it, let's go home and hug your wife, play with her, isn't he sweet?
...
"Aunt Lan, regarding the North American distribution of "League 2", should we publish it ourselves or cooperate with a company over there?"
On October 5th, Lin Juan asked in Li Lan's office that he was going to start preparations for "Alliance 2".
"What's the matter? We have to hold a meeting to decide this. Now our company's distribution system in North America is not perfect. If we release a film of the scale of "Alliance II" independently, we will suffer certain losses. Although we can use this to expand channels, it is also a There will be a risk of further stimulating Hollywood companies." Li Lan said in a deep voice.
Of course, it is not afraid if it is the stage of war, but now a tacit agreement has been reached. The sites outside of Hollywood will use their own means. If it is really exciting, it will not be a good thing for anyone, and the loss will be too great.
"Okay, let's make sure as soon as possible, we can also borrow their power for this shooting, the scale of this shooting is huge." Lin Juan said with a frown.
"How big? How much do you plan to invest?" Li Lan couldn't help asking, even Lin Juan said the huge scale, she was a little scared.
"The investment is about 200 million U.S. dollars. Both the American side and the Tianhai side will be filmed, mainly because there are more scenes."
"Hiss~" Li Lan took a deep breath, but felt relieved. This feeling was very contradictory, such a large number, but because it was Lin Juan who said it, it felt okay.
Although Lin Juan's words were rather vague, but she calculated casually, the total investment of this drama plus the promotional expenses at that time will reach at least 300 million US dollars, more than 2 billion RMB!
What is this for? This is throwing money,
Why can't more than two billion yuan make money? Isn't it good to invest in real estate?
This investment directly broke the investment record of Huaxia Films, not to mention the 200 million US dollars that Lin Juan requested for the filming. He is known as a financial director. If it was another director, would 250 million US dollars be enough?
It's really just that Lin is tired. If another director wants this investment, you can see if Li Lan will slap him.
you are dreaming?
But considering the global box office of "Alliance One", which was worth two billion US dollars, it seems that it is not unacceptable.
"It's okay, okay, I thought you wanted 300 million dollars." Li Lan shook her head and said, Lin Juan couldn't help but look weird, why did you say it's okay while gasping...
Well, in fact, he can understand Li Lan's complicated mood. He couldn't help but smile. Li Lan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's sign the contract later."
"Well, by the way, Aunt Lan, I plan to let Downey and the others invest some shares in this drama, about 15% of the shares." Lin Juan said.
He has earned enough money, and he has to let the people who have been following him earn some. He doesn't take this stuff seriously. Downey and Yu Yan have helped him build a huge brand from the beginning, giving him a lot of money. It should be a shareholding. The top actors in Hollywood already have a share of the box office of the movie, not to mention that he is not giving it for free.
"No problem, it's up to you to decide. What about the investment ratio?"
"I'll take 10 million US dollars plus 15% of the box office. The investment ratio can be decided by you, Aunt Lan. You can invest as much as you want. If it is not enough, I will make up for it." Lin Juan said quite straightforwardly.
Anyway, his income is already enough, and he gets 15% of the box office share if he doesn’t spend a penny. That’s the calculation of the box office, not the box office revenue. It’s the same as the distributor and the theater chain. After the distribution is over, the rest is on the producer's side. This is Lin Juan's current net worth. Other directors or actors are divided in proportion to their income.
After doing the math, the theater chain deducted 45%, and the tax payment was almost nine points. This means that 54% of the box office was lost. The distributor deducted another 8%, and Lin Juan took another 100. Fifteen percent, that is, 77 percent is gone, leaving only 23 percent for the producers.
An investment of 200 million U.S. dollars requires a global box office of 1 billion U.S. dollars to recover the cost.
How many domestic directors dare to guarantee that they can get this kind of box office?
Except for Lin Juan, no.
In addition, what Lin Juan said just now to give Downey and them 15% of the share is also 100% of the producer's share, not the total box office.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you. Your studio will invest 200 million, and they will invest 200 million. Your side will invest 15%, and the company will invest one billion, accounting for 70%. Is this okay?" Li Lan asked. road.
Lin Juan thought for a while, 200 million US dollars is almost 1.4 billion RMB, so he nodded in agreement.
In fact, under normal circumstances, such a large-scale production is jointly produced by several companies. There are multiple investors, which can be regarded as sharing the risk. Otherwise, a film with an investment of 100 to 200 million yuan may bankrupt a company.
But a movie like "Alliance 2", especially one directed by Lin Juan himself, doesn't mean that there is no risk, but the risk is too small, and the investment is profitable. How could Chen Guang give up the investment ratio so easily.
So after a few simple conversations, the two finalized the details of this cooperation. This kind of situation has happened many times, so the speed is very fast. It's time for a meeting, get the people from the US on your side as soon as possible, and the early stage setting is about to start to be built."
"Okay, don't you worry about your Aunt Lan's work? Go ahead and take care of your health."
"good."
Waving, Lin Juan walked out of Li Lan's office. His mind was full of scenes from the movie, character modeling, and so on. Every filming was a big project, and this project was particularly grand.
"Why……"
Lin Juan sighed. After the Alliance 2 is done, the plot of the Tianjian game will start to be laid out. Really, there is no peace...
