World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Call brother."

It's a joke, but when it's time to get down to business, you have to be serious.

Yang Ling showed her status as the head of the family and gave orders to her husband.

"good."

Yang Lin didn't say anything. He didn't understand this matter. His elder brother Yang Jing knew better. After all, he was a university professor.

Fortunately, the two families live not far apart.

Half an hour later.

"That's it."

Yang Jing sat on the sofa and began to think deeply after hearing what happened.

This is a major event in the life of his brother's daughter and niece. As an uncle, he must do his best.

"Second brother, you go..." Yang Jing muttered a few words to Yang Lin, and Yang Lin walked out with his cell phone.

"Brother and sister, bring me a piece of paper and a pen."

Yang Jing took a pen and started gesticulating on the paper.

Ten minutes later, I put down my pen, looked at my second brother’s family, clicked on the paper, and introduced:

"This is based on some papers in school to calculate the country's economic development speed and scale, as well as future inflation."

"Although the mainland is lagging behind in the entertainment industry, there are still examples from Hollywood."

"After my eldest niece entered the entertainment industry, I also learned a lot about this industry at home and abroad."

"A dozen years ago, there were top stars in Hollywood with a salary of over 20 million US dollars. Now some even get a share of the box office, and some people can get a salary of tens to 100 million US dollars for a movie."

"A few years ago in China, Li Ji returned from Hollywood and received a salary of 100 million yuan for a movie."

"To go a long way, let's talk about my eldest niece. Your benchmark is the two [Master Girls] from the Mainland. These kind of people who go out of the country can be called international stars."

"According to their salary, a movie is about 20 million US dollars now, and about 2 million US dollars abroad."

"For a female artist, the most important income is endorsements. The money earned in her career is 50/50."

"Then, let's calculate the film remuneration as 700 million from 1.5 billion."

"This is the quotation for thirty-five movies. You are twenty-four years old now, Mimi. Even if you make one movie every six months, it will take eighteen years to make. You were forty-two at the time."

"Add the inflation calculated by my uncle based on the country's economic growth."

"If you reach the status of two [Master Girls], you can earn 1.5 billion."

After the family listened, they seemed to understand the words very well, but in fact they were still a little confused. Yang Huami was a junior, so she asked directly:

"Uncle, after you have said so much, do you mean that this contract can be signed or not?"

Yang Jing did not answer directly, but looked at Yang Lin:

"Second brother."

"Brother, I have already asked my colleagues and found out."

Yang Lin was previously instructed by his eldest brother Yang Jing to make a phone call:

"Qin Dong is from Jingnan City. He is 23 years old this year, one year younger than my Mimi. He has parents and an older brother at home. Both of them are ordinary people. Because the old house was demolished, two households were given more than 100 square meters.

commercial housing.”

"His brother joined the army directly after graduating from high school nine years ago and is currently in the Jingnan Military Region."

"From my ancestors till now, I have no other bad factors and my background is clean."

China has always been a society that values ​​human relations, and many things can be easily found as long as the connections are in place.

Yang Jing nodded, looked down at what he had written on the paper before, and said:

"Ordinary families have the courage to issue contracts with a minimum guarantee of 1.5 billion."

"His first movie cost 200 million. Because he is a newcomer, he earned about 64 million at the box office. After deducting 10 million in costs, he made a profit of 50 million. Including other copyrights and meager overseas income, the profit was about 60 million.

A little more than 10 million is the most.”

"I heard from my eldest niece that he has so many movie plans in the future, and two more will be released this year alone."

"In that case, let's wait."

At the end of the sentence, Yang Jing slapped the table.

"Wait? Wait for what?"

Yang Lin asked.

"Wait until summer, or even during the Chinese New Year."

Yang Jing squinted his eyes, as if he was looking far away:

"I came to the conclusion based on the algorithm that the contract he offered was based on the fact that each of his movies must make money, and they must make a lot of money. It is the most difficult for people to get started, so his first movie made a profit of 60 million

, should be the lowest profit among all his future movies, to ensure that he has the capital to open such a contract."

Yang Ling shook her head:

"Brother, this is too absolute. No one can guarantee that they will always make money. Although we are not from the entertainment industry, we still know how the movie box office is, and there are many factors involved."

Yang Lin also nodded in agreement with his wife:

"Brother, I don't think it's possible. Where does this kid get his confidence? Is he bragging? Or is he attracted to my precious daughter, so..."

Yang Jing stood up, looked at his younger brother and sister-in-law, and said angrily:

"So I said to wait and see if he was bragging or if he was really confident."

"According to my algorithm, he must always go smoothly in the early stage. When he gets a firm foothold in the later stage, he can have occasional failures. But in the early stage, every movie must be a hit, otherwise there is no need to consider it."

"Mimi, listen to my uncle and wait until the summer to see how his second movie fares at the box office."

"To be safe, you can wait until the Chinese New Year to watch the third part."

"If three movies are hits in a row, his status will definitely rise. At that time, contracts can be signed. If he earns 1.5 billion or not, Mimi won't suffer any big losses."

"Gone."

Come and go quickly, do things quickly, and get out of the way when the business is done.

The family is left here to think.

"It's annoying."

When Yang Huami returned to the bedroom, she rolled on the bed. After rolling back and forth a few times, she couldn't help but take out her cell phone and look at one of the numbers with the note "Playful Man" and dial it out.

...

Room 1866, Island Hotel.

"Come on, baby, open your mouth."

Qin Dong used a toothpick to poke a piece of mango and handed it to Liu Sisi's mouth.

The beauty opened her mouth with a smile.

"Dingling bell..."

At this time, the phone rang at an inappropriate time, ruining the atmosphere of the young couple.

"Hello, who's there?"

Qin Dong picked up the answer angrily:

"Oh, it's you, Mimi, what's the matter? You're calling me so late, I'm already asleep."

When Liu Sisi heard Mimi, she immediately came over and put her ear close to the mobile phone next to Qin Dong's ear.

"Is the contract always valid? Is that why you called so late to ask about this?"

"How long have you been thinking about? Half a year to a year?"

When Qin Dong heard this, he quickly thought about the reason:

"Oh, I understand, it turns out you want to see how my second and third movies fare at the box office after they are released, right?"

"Let me think about it, I can promise you this, but..."

"But in view of time, and once my movie is successful, your contract amount will automatically be reduced by 100 million for every movie released."

"Hey, you don't blame me for this. Anyway, you decide what the outcome will be. If you have conditions, I also have conditions. This is only fair."

"Okay, you can think about it slowly."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Dong thought for a while and then shook his head. At this moment, he found Liu Sisi staring at him faintly.

He immediately smiled and hugged the beauty:

"Be good, don't be jealous."

Liu Sisi asked in a complicated tone:

"Do you really want to give Mimi such a big guaranteed contract?"

Qin Dong looked at Liu Sisi's expression, something was wrong, so he could only explain it carefully:

"Baby, don't be jealous, she is very ambitious, so I have to rely on her to make money."

"She will be a model worker in our company from now on."

"And you are the boss's wife, so I can't bear to make you tired."

"You are all different, so don't worry too much."
