Director’s Legend

If Chinese films are released in North America, if the copyright is bought out, only the copyright fee will be charged. If it is a guaranteed split account, in addition to the guaranteed buyout cost, you can still make a little less share. If it is divided, it is always 13% to 17%. The higher the box office, the higher the share given. For Hollywood blockbusters, except for the 20 movies that are divided into 35% each year, the rest are at similar prices.

Shao Shuaijun looked at the huge sum of more than 20 million yuan allocated by Lionsgate, and couldn't help feeling: "Lao Mei's money is really good. 17% of it is divided into four families, and it can be divided into more than 20 million. If this is in the United States. How much should I earn if I start a company directly, shoot and invest in movies directly!"

Li Xiuxiu interrupted Shao Shuaijun’s obscenity as he settled the accounts: “Don’t think too much. It’s unrealistic to make movies in the United States. Without your own foundation, you still have to be exploited by American companies. When will your reputation in the United States be big enough? Now, Americans are looking forward to the films they make. Only when they take the initiative to talk to you about their distribution and release can they make a lot of American money."

"Sister Xiuxiu, keep your eyes on it. Within two or three years, I will definitely set foot in the ranks of Hollywood directors." Shao Shuaijun looked at the bank account displayed on the computer and smiled very happily. "By the way, the box office statistics in Asia come out. Yet?"

"Well, plus plus minus minus, the total is 220 million yuan, because many of them are directly buying and selling copyrights, and the money that can be recovered is about 60 million yuan. For each of the four, the studio can get 15 million yuan. However, there is Are you mentally prepared a little bit?"

"You mean the domestic box office? Just talk about it."

"Hehe, the domestic box office is only 98 million yuan, which is not more than half the box office of Asia overseas." Li Xiuxiu put down the pen and looked up at Shao Shuaijun, "What are your thoughts?"

Shao Shuaijun frowned: "It should be that the movie does not suit the taste of the Chinese? The Asian side has been cultivated by Hollywood for more than ten years, and the taste has become accustomed to the Hollywood style. The "Source Code" has been imported because the taste of Hollywood is very heavy. To their taste."

"Of course not. Although I just returned to China, I also asked about it. The movie theater was almost full in the afternoon. It was not much worse than "Crazy Racing", but I only got so much box office in the end. I'm sorry to say it. Crazy reports from the domestic media, and the hard work of Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei."

"what do you mean?"

"Very simple, the box office has been compressed."

"Stealing the box office?"

Li Xiuxiu shook her head: "It is not stealing the box office, but being compressed. In other words, the theater company did not report the data truthfully. Now you see, some people don't want the box office to exceed 100 million. This is to deceive us."

"For the 5% box office share, it’s impossible. Even if the mainland box office is 200 million, the 5% of the share is only a few million. As for?" Shao Shuaijun's face was stiff, and some clues were vaguely spied. .

"This is not a 5% problem. You made a wrong calculation. Because the part of the box office that was concealed is equivalent to leaving you behind and they continue to divide the account. For example, suppose there are 100 million that can be used to divide the account, but they are now equal Only 50 million was used to divide it. Of the 50 million, 5% of you will be exploited. The remaining 50 million is a joint division of several of them to exclude you. What do you say is your loss?"

The higher the box office, the greater the loss.

Shao Shuaijun suddenly understood that he was complacent because of North America's success, and immediately fell to the bottom. Sullenly asked: "What should I do?"

"If I were you, now go to Huayi Brothers to find Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, and ask clearly." Li Xiuxiu's face did not see any emotional changes, "However, I can't change any results even if I think about it. Some people are wolves. The meat inside will never let it out. "Of course, it's okay to ask. "

"I'm going to find Wang Zhongjun! I worked so hard to make a movie, let them invest and let them share the money, and even tricked me. If this matter is not solved, it will never be over!" Shao Shuaijun got angry and went straight to the Huayi Brothers headquarters. .

Seeing Shao Shuaijun leaving behind, Li Xiuxiu suddenly smiled: "A Jun, you are too simple. You think about making a big cake and thinking about the future income, but they can only see in front of you and grab your food. Hope this time. Get a lesson, don’t give it lightly and forget to ask for it. You must have your own foundation wherever you go, in order to remain invincible."

After a few minutes, Li Xiuxiu smiled and picked up the phone: "Hey, Wang Yixue, where are you and sloppy? You go back to the company to manage it for a period of time. I need to go to Japan if I have something to do. Well, okay."

In the afternoon, Shao Shuaijun came back.

"How's the talk?"

"The box office has indeed been compressed. Huayi Brothers will make up the part that belongs to me. As for Poly Bona and Media Asia Variety Show, Wang Zhongjun means that he will help me fight for it."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, I'm very confused now." Leaning on the sofa, Shao Shuaijun said with some indignation, "Anyway, I will definitely get the money back. As for Poly Bona and Media Asia Variety Show, I will never Will cooperate again!"

Li Xiuxiu stood up, stretched her waist, curvy: "A Jun, if you want to continue in the movie circle, I suggest you just treat it as it hasn't happened. There are a lot of black people in the entertainment industry, who have you seen? You have torn your skin? You said it yourself, China is a society of human relations, Poly Bona is behind the central enterprise Poly Group, and Media Asia Variety is behind the film leader China Film Group. Both can directly manipulate the theaters and tear them apart. Shame, don’t even think about showing your movie in mainland movie theaters. And Huayi Brothers, don’t think of them as good people. Without the Huayi Brothers’ nod in advance, will the box office be compressed so grandiosely? If you can’t figure it out, you will be cheated. If you get it, the second king will change your tone. Anyway, you are affiliated with their company and you have to rely on them. They are not afraid of you turning your face, and you are indeed not qualified to turn your face."

"Sister Xiuxiu, I don’t like to hear what you said. I don’t have the right to turn my face. I am now making a lot of money in three movies. "Source Code" has a global box office of 800 million. If I leave these stores, I have nowhere to go. ? Even if I leave China, I can still be in the United States! Believe it or not!"

"What are you mad at me? I'm analyzing it for you and helping you plan." Li Xiuxiu pinched her waist and shouted back.

Li Xiuxiu didn't get angry easily. Shao Shuaijun was taken aback when he got angry, and he said with a sullen smile, "Isn't I in a bad mood? Sister Xiuxiu, continue to say, I'm listening."

"Hmph! Listen well, the environment in the US is not much better than the domestic environment. The six major film companies have almost monopolized the theater market. For the time being, don't go there and consolidate the domestic position. If you want to develop in the country, you have also seen it. There will be many things that bite each other, you have to learn to compromise and protect yourself."

Seeing Shao Shuaijun listening humbly, Li Xiuxiu's tone eased a little: "A Jun, Sister Hua is now in Japan and is discussing a major event. You should hear the news. This is a golden opportunity. I hope you can intervene. During the negotiation this time."
