World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Haha..."

Qin Dong smiled when he heard this and asked:

"Martin, do you say I am short of money?"

Martin was speechless, smiling and shaking his head.

He knew Qin Dong's temper and character. From that time when Qin Dong beat [Mad Dog] Harvey at Tom Cruise's manor, to the time he spent two hundred million dollars in a lawsuit a few months ago, just for the sake of

Taking it out, this person's temper has been understood by more and more people.

"Qin, of course I know you are not short of money, and your personality is not one that cares about money."

"But if Warner finally fails to find another suitable director and there is no other good way to restart the DC movie universe project..."

"I guess Warner will probably offer you a high-dollar film deal. As someone who has been dealing with them for decades, I can probably imagine it."

A temporary high price and giving away the copyright are two different things. Anyone would do this.

Listening to Martin's narration, Qin Dong smiled and nodded slowly in agreement with this view.

Martin is the landlord, a local, and has dealt with various parties in Hollywood for decades. Qin Dong did not refute, but believed that Martin's guess was most likely true.

"Your guess makes sense, Martin. By the way, I forgot to ask, what is the price of my current external film contract?"

Qin Dong basically makes his own movies, and I really don't know what his current fame and status are like.

"Qin, you basically make your own movies, so the remuneration from these movies doesn't count."

When Martin heard this, he first explained. Seeing Qin Dong nodding in agreement with this view, he continued:

"And you have too few external films."

"Currently, the first externally-produced movie is Tom's [Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol], which accounts for approximately 10% of the global box office. This time, Mission: Impossible's box office is more than 800 million U.S. dollars. You can get 80% of the global box office."

A salary of tens of millions of dollars."

"And the next second movie is Universal's [Jurassic Dinosaurs]."

"Speaking of this, Qin, you have to go to Universal with me to formally sign the contract."

Qin Dong nodded. Martin said before about this matter that he had already negotiated all the conditions with Universal Company and was waiting for Qin Dong to sign the contract:

"No problem. Let's find time to go to Universal in the next two days and sign the contract."

"Um."

Martin nodded and continued:

"This time Universal's contract is for a 15% share of the global box office, but I will also get you a basic salary of US$5 million."

"This is currently the case, five million US dollars plus a 15% share of the global box office."

"If you want to improve next time, you have to watch Qin. Your next few movies will hit the box office."

"The higher the box office, the more profit, then I can give you an offer of 20 million U.S. dollars plus 20 or 25% of the global box office share."

Qin Dong smiled.

In fact, in the contract with Universal, Qin Dong hoped to get more share, but unfortunately Universal did not agree. Even if Martin kept talking to others, the negotiation could not be concluded in the end.

Universal is not a fool. After all, "Jurassic Dinosaur" is a popular classic movie series. How could it offer an exorbitant share of the revenue?

This 15% share of the global box office is because Qin Dong agreed to a condition, that is, the box office of the restarted Dinosaur movie must exceed 1.3 billion US dollars. On this basis, Qin Dong can get 15% of the global box office share.

Share of total global box office.

If the box office is only 1.2 billion, the share will be reduced to 10%.

1.1 billion, continue to decrease, divided into 5%.

If there is only 1 billion in box office, there will be no share, only a fixed remuneration of 20 million US dollars.

If it is less than 1 billion, say 8.9 billion, 7.8 billion, then there is no need to say more.

Originally, Qin Dong told Martin that the quotation for Universal was based on a box office of 1.5 billion or 1.6 billion. On this basis, he hoped to continue to increase the box office share.

Unfortunately, Universal still disagrees. Their final bottom line is that as long as the box office exceeds US$1.3 billion, they will give a 15% share on this basis, and nothing else will be discussed.

Therefore, Qin Dong's original good plan failed to come true. Universal is not a fool. It is impossible to share 1.5 billion and 20%, and 1.625 billion. They refused without thinking.

"It's a pity that Universal's will is so righteous. I even offered to make the new movie's box office reach 1.6 billion U.S. dollars. We negotiated a film contract on this basis, but in the end we didn't have to negotiate. Martin, I feel like I have suffered a great loss."

Martin's eyes widened. This employer was so arrogant and crazy.

He is still not satisfied and wants to talk about a share of more than 20% of 1.6 billion. I am really speechless.

"Oh, Qin, that's enough for you. I think 15% of the 1.3 billion box office is already crazy. If you really complete the contract, you can earn more than 200 million US dollars for one movie.

."

Qin Dong curled his lips, not caring about this, it was just two hundred million dollars.

"Two hundred million dollars? A movie?"

Taylor, who had been a silent spectator, suddenly started to move from the man's arms, his eyes widening.

From what I heard, I didn't care too much about the share. But when I figured out the specific amount, it was a different matter. It had a huge impact.

At this time, even though Taylor had several Grammy Awards, her annual income was only tens of millions of dollars. She was surprised that a movie cost two hundred million dollars.

"This little money is nothing."

Qin Dong stroked the woman's hair and said.

Because he knew that the woman in front of him started to make money crazily a few years later.

Every year, I start with US$100 million, and sometimes I can earn US$200 million.

The annual revenue has been US$100 million for many years in a row. What is the concept? It exceeds 90% of the global corporate profits.

He has topped the Forbes Celebrity List of the Most Rich and Profitable Artists for many times.

This is "Taylor Swift", a super female star who can make more money than male artists.

The woman in front of me was shocked at the cost of two hundred million U.S. dollars. Ten years later, this woman's net worth would reach three billion U.S. dollars.

Last year, this woman's income was only 35.7 million U.S. dollars. This year has not passed yet, but Qin Dong remembers that in the past 12 years, Taylor's income was about 57 million U.S. dollars.

But starting next year, 2013, this woman will start to go crazy.

It has officially entered the annual revenue of 100 million U.S. dollars, and it is getting more and more every year. In 2013, the annual revenue was barely 110 million U.S. dollars.

But later on, until 1989, the annual income was more than 100 million or more than 200 million US dollars, and the highest annual income was more than 300 million US dollars.

"Two hundred million dollars, isn't that nothing?"

Taylor's big blue eyes stared at the man.

Although her annual income is more than 30 million U.S. dollars, after deducting taxes, it is only more than 10 million U.S. dollars. In addition, women have too many places to spend money. In fact, the money she has left every year is only a few million U.S. dollars.

"Haha... Didn't I give you a few songs? I think my songs are definitely qualified to become classics. I believe that starting from next year, you will become the most popular female star in the world. Next year, your income will be

Starting with 100 million US dollars, believe me and believe in yourself. I will not be wrong. The most profitable female star in the world must be yours, otherwise I will be very sorry for my song."

Qin Dong was arrogant and took the credit for himself in advance.

"Really? How is that possible? I only earned 30 million US dollars last year."

Taylor was shocked. The man's confidence did not convince the woman. Instead, she began to question herself. She didn't think she could earn more than $100 million a year.

"Of course it's true. Who am I, a genius? The scripts, movies, and songs that have passed through my hands are all hits."

Qin Dong held his chin up and showed an arrogant attitude.

The more you owe me a beating, the more you deserve a beating.

"Ha ha..."

Taylor suddenly felt a stomachache when she saw the man's stinking fart, and fell into Qin Dong's arms with a smile.
