Urban: I Am God

Chapter 98 Simple, Rough and Effective

This is the reason why no one buys the copyright of Infinite Horror, because although the copyright is a one-time investment and this novel is a series of movies, if the first one messes up, it will really be a blood loss, but Zhai Hongyu said this Obviously, he has enough self-confidence.

"Well, very good. Since the domestic box office is 2 billion, including foreign countries, I estimate the box office of this movie to be 3 billion. Is it reasonable?" Hu Fei asked with a smile.

"Reasonable." Di Hongyu nodded. At present, very few domestic films have gone abroad, and almost all of them are still the main battlefield in China, so the domestic box office accounts for almost 70% to 80% of the total box office.

"Well, I prefer to talk in cash, so, 40 million plus 10% of the box office share, based on the 3 billion box office, the share is 340 million, no problem?" Hu Fei smiled slightly.

"Uh... Mr. Hu, what do you mean?" Wang Peng felt a little confused.

"What I mean is that director Zhai's salary can be directly 340 million yuan, and there is no need for any share." Hu Fei said lightly.

Now, Zhai Hongyu and Wang Peng are in a daze, how can they still play like this?

Although it is true that the box office of Zhai Hongyu's previous movies is really good, almost none of them are less than 1 billion, and the highest box office has exceeded 3 billion, but doing this before shooting... Isn't it too hard?

The two looked at each other, and Wang Peng actually had no opinion, because after all, 3 billion is just an estimate, but no one can guarantee that it can exceed this figure!

Now that this contract is signed, this is a stable income!

"That Mr. Hu, I can accept this condition." Although Zhai Hongyu was a little puzzled, this condition was already given enough sincerity, and it would be too much for him not to agree.

"Very well, after we sign the contract at that time, your remuneration will be directly credited to the account." Hu Fei said directly and simply.

Now Wang Peng and Zhai Hongyu don't know what to say, isn't this too happy? At this moment, they can be regarded as seeing that Hu Fei doesn't understand movies at all, and this is a waste of money.

"Well, I shouldn't have said that, Mr. Hu, but if you invest in this way, the possibility of the film recovering the cost is very small." Zhai Hongyu hesitated, but said helplessly.

"Let's not talk about this, but now that we have talked, let me talk about my requirements first. First of all, I want to conform to the original work of the novel as much as possible, especially some scenes in it, and restore them as much as possible. As for the special effects, you don't have to worry about it. , I will find the best special effects company, and in addition, use IMAX cameras to shoot.” Hu Fei first said a part of his request.

"These are not problems." Zhai Hongyu nodded simply, this is his job.

"However, Mr. Hu, if it is as close to the original as possible, I probably read the novel, and the review by the General Administration above may be a problem." Zhai Hongyu said straightforwardly.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it, you just shoot, you don't have to worry about the rest, but I only ask for quality." Hu Fei said straightforwardly.

"Okay." Now that Hu Fei said so, then Di Hongyu is not talking nonsense.

Both parties had no objection. Hu Fei immediately asked Yang Yiqing and Qian Yue to change the remuneration in the contract that had already been drawn up. These contracts are standard template contracts, but there are some special agreements on the details. After confirming the terms such as remuneration, the two parties directly printed the contract, confirmed that it was correct, and signed it directly.

"Happy cooperation." Di Hongyu smiled and extended his hand to Hu Fei.

"It's a pleasant cooperation. Ms. Qian will be in charge of the production team. In addition, she is also the manager of the main female character Zhan Lan. If there is any problem with the production team, just communicate with her directly.

What's more, some lighting engineers needed by the crew, etc., will bother Director Zhai. I want the best team, and everyone's salary will be increased by 30% on the basis of their previous crew salaries. "Hu Fei stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhai Hongyu, and said.

"No problem." Zhai Hongyu also agreed very simply. These big directors naturally have their own teams, because these teams have been working together for a long time. Hu Fei can only be regarded as an investor, and Zhai Hongyu's company is in charge of filming. .

"I'm going to talk to some leading actors in the afternoon. Will director Zhai be present?" Hu Fei asked again. Hu Fei naturally showed the list of main actors to Zhai Hongyu. Zhai Hongyu has no problem with the selection of these actors. To be honest, this In fact, there were some mistakes in the procedure. At least, it could be said that Zhai Hongyu was completely disrespected.

But he is a big benefactor, and the money is given too happily. Di Hongyu naturally doesn't care about this little problem. After being in this circle for so long, Di Hongyu still understands who can be offended and who can't be offended. .

"No need, Mr. Hu, the leading actors you are optimistic about, whether it is acting or character, are fine, I have no objection." Zhai Hongyu said with a smile.

As for the quasi-female No. 1 Su Qin, Zhai Hongyu tacitly didn't bring up this topic. What else can you say about a boss who spends at least hundreds of millions of dollars to support a newcomer? Even if the newcomer's acting skills are really problematic, Zhai Hongyu can only do his best to train him. This is the current situation in this circle.

Hu Fei can understand that Zhai Hongyu doesn’t participate. It’s actually very simple. The director didn’t participate in everything in the early stage. If he participates in this time, if the film fails due to some aspects, it happens that he raises another opinion. It’s not a blame. ?

Instead of this, it’s better that I don’t participate. Anyway, you didn’t plan to let me participate in the early stage. I will just wait for you to get everything done, and I can just work.

After seeing off Zhai Hongyu, Hu Fei also heaved a sigh of relief. Zhai Hongyu is actually a bit like a Hollywood truck driver, that is, his personality is more serious, and the second is that he has stricter requirements on the quality of the film. Of course...it is more wasteful. funds.

But this is a good thing for Hu Fei, which is why Hu Fei chose him immediately.

In addition, because Zhai Hongyu has the qualifications to shoot Hollywood movies, his salary is naturally the highest. This is also the reason. It is not easy to spend some money these days!

However, the reason why Hu Fei didn't tell him that his movie was not going to be released was mainly because Hu Fei was going to watch it by himself, and of course he had to pursue quality when he watched it by himself.

In the afternoon, the hotel conference room will take care of these protagonists, and the rest will not be a problem.

And Qian Yue next to him was a little confused by Hu Fei's negotiation, even if he was rich, he couldn't talk like this, right? Although it is said that the box office share is the right of very few people in China, but you are giving the price directly according to the estimated box office... It's too capricious.

But Qian Yue was very sensible and didn't say anything, because Hu Fei's series of operations were already enough to make people speechless. All I can say is... In this world, being rich is self-willed.
