Chapter 285: Box Office Sharing
On the way back, Zhou Yu asked the tigers to run back to Taoyuan by themselves, and then he took He Sining and his staff to a small conference room in the village committee. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After sitting down, He Sining handed him the draft contract he had negotiated in the past two days, and explained some of the important terms.
After Zhou Yu read it carefully, he put forward his opinions on some of the clauses, and after discussing it with He Sining, he made some amendments.
After discussing the draft of this contract in the conference room, He Sining's eyes also looked at Zhou Yu and said: "Mr. Zhou, these terms are not the most important, the key to whether the contract can be reached is the salary of the three divine dogs, and what is your bottom limit." ”
"Sister He, it's okay to call me Xiaoyu in the future, there's no need to be so polite, the reason why I waited until they finished watching the god dog to talk about this matter is because what I want is not just a fixed salary. ”
Zhou Yu said with a smile on his face, they want to use the magic and fame of the divine dog to make this cat and dog war a great success, so naturally they need to pay a price.
"Xiao, Xiaoyu, are you going to ask them for a box office sharing plan, they are unlikely to agree, box office sharing has always been a top star, and only people with strong box office appeal can enjoy it. ”
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, He Sining said with surprise on his face, box office sharing, this young man really dares to think about it.
Generally speaking, 99% of actors can only get a fixed salary, while the other 1% of actors may be eligible for box office sharing.
And in Hollywood, only real top stars can have this right, such as Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr. and other big-name stars.
Other actors are all paid dozens or even nearly 100 times lower than that of big-name stars, such as Iron Man 2, the actor who plays opposite Downey only has a salary of $250,000.
And Zhou Yu is not a person in the film and television industry, these three divine dogs have never made a movie, in her opinion, the salary of 1.2 million US dollars should be able to be increased a little, such a price is already very high, as for the box office share, it is simply a fantasy.
Zhou Yu smiled lightly, leaned back in the chair slightly and said: "The three divine dogs who have never acted are indeed incomparable to those big-name stars, but they are divine dogs and animals, and in the film Cat and Dog Wars, their appeal is incomparable to any animal." ”
"Now those American investors, the reason why they dare to take out the third part of the cat and dog war for filming, is naturally the fame and appeal of the god dog, otherwise, the tragic lesson of the previous one, they may not move this cat and dog series of movies within ten years. ”
"The three divine dogs, and the protagonists, have outstanding abilities and are famous enough, what is the difference between this and the stars in other types of blockbusters, and the treatment that those people can enjoy, can't the divine dogs enjoy. ”
"Sister He, I believe that you already know their attitude in the contract negotiation, so you have to understand that you have to try everything to know whether it is successful or not, and I don't mind doing what others dare not do. ”
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, He Sining gradually calmed down from the disbelief at the beginning, indeed, in the negotiation of the contract, it is enough to see that Warner attaches great importance to the three divine dogs, because if this film wants to succeed, it can only rely on the three divine dogs.
"Xiaoyu, I understand, what is the bottom limit of your box office share, the world is still just China. He Sining nodded, looked at Zhou Yu and asked, she didn't know how much Zhou Yu knew about the film and television industry, and whether he would say some surprising sharing ratios.
"Since I want to share the box office, it is naturally the global box office, and my bottom limit is not less than five percent. Zhou Yu said slowly, foreign imported films are screened in China, and in the end, the producer can only get 25% of the box office, while in North America, half of the box office will go to the producer.
He Sining showed a look of surprise on his face, although this five percent was not as exaggerated as she had imagined before, but five percent of the global box office was not a small number.
Even if this film can only get a global box office of 200 million US dollars in the end, this 5% is at least double the salary, but compared with the investment of 80 million US dollars and the box office of 200 million, this is already too bad.
It's just that she suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, this cat and dog war with three surfing dogs in Huaxia, the final global box office may really only be 200 million US dollars, just on the Huaxia side, it will be directly detonated, plus some publicity, as long as the film is a little better, it can make many people enter the cinema to watch.
"Okay, I'm going to ask them for a five percent global box office share in the next contract negotiations. He Sining nodded and agreed, as for whether the producer will accept this sharing ratio, she can't know.
"Sister He, don't be too soft in your attitude, in addition, in addition to the box office share, the fixed salary that the god dog should ask for is still indispensable, one million two million dollars, which is also money, let's see their reaction first. Zhou Yu said with a smile, since it is a negotiation, it is natural to add some fun.
He Sining's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it, this Zhou Yu was really not afraid of the producer leaving directly, "I know, Xiaoyu, you really dare to ask for conditions." ”
"Since it's a negotiation, naturally you can't just follow theirs, by the way, in addition to the movie salary, there is another thing that your agency needs to help deal with. ”
Zhou Yu didn't care too much and said that if such conditions can scare away big Hollywood companies, it means that they don't really want to shoot this movie.
"Something, you say. He Sining suddenly had some curiosity on his face.
"A famous master of ancient musical instruments in China got an original guqin song from a friend, and has registered the copyright, and now I have full authority to deal with the related matters, with the level of this qin music, it will definitely spread throughout China very quickly. ”
"Non-profit performances, don't care, if there are companies or individuals who use this piece for profit-making activities, you need to charge a certain license fee, you can do it, as for the specific copyright registration certificate, and his authorization letter, I will give it to you in two days. ”
Zhou Yu gave some explanations about the qin music to He Sining.
He Sining's face showed a different color, the original guqin music, charging copyright fees, "Xiaoyu, with all due respect, there shouldn't be many people playing this guqin music created in modern times." "Nowadays, many guqin players play ancient classic repertoire, and what they have created in modern times is really a gap between heaven and earth compared with ancient times.
Hearing her words, Zhou Yu didn't speak, but took out his mobile phone, opened the light organ song, and began to play, which was played by Nie Wenshan, and he recorded it at the time.
The sound of the piano coming out of the mobile phone, after entering He Sining's ears, made her face can't help but show a look of surprise, and as the piano music continues, the shock on her face is getting stronger and stronger.
At this moment, she somewhat understood why Zhou Yu said before that this qin song would spread throughout China in a short time, because with the level of this qin song, the feeling it brings to people has the characteristics of transmission.
She usually loves Chinese culture and has heard all kinds of classic qin songs, this qin song, compared with some classic qin songs, is only strong but not weak.
"Xiao Yu, what is the name of this qin song, and can you tell me the name of this master of ancient musical instrument making. After listening to the piano music played on his mobile phone, He Sining hurriedly asked.
"The name of this piece is Light Breeze, and the name of the ancient instrument master is Nie Wenshan. Zhou Yu picked up the phone and said with a smile.
He Sining showed a touch of surprise on his face, and nodded slowly, "It turned out to be Nie Lao of Yayun Ancient Music, I also went to him to buy a flute before, Qingfeng, this name is good, it is really a song as its name." ”
In the end, she saw Zhou Yu putting the mobile phone in her pocket, and immediately stretched out her hand to stop it: "Xiaoyu, can you pass me a copy of this piano song, of course, if you need to keep it secret, then forget it." ”
"Haha, Sister He, this piece of music is now in the process of dissemination, my mobile phone recording is not very clear, it is estimated that tomorrow, Nie Lao's high-definition version will be released on the Internet, you turn on Bluetooth, I will pass it to you first." Zhou Yu laughed and said that Nie Wenshan had already said before that he would record professionally, and upload the music to his Weibo, and he would also give some explanations about the authorization.
After receiving it, He Sining nodded with a smile on his face, "When the copyright registration certificate and authorization certificate arrive, we will use some strength to pay attention to this music, but we shouldn't be able to collect much money in the early stage, and there is only this one." ”
"Sister He, there will be other piano music in the future, I believe that each one is no less than this breeze, so you can wait to listen to it when the time comes. Zhou Yu had a mysterious look on his face.
"What, there will be another, the same level, this old friend Nie is really extraordinary. He Sining said with shock, can this level of piano music really be created at will?
Next, Zhou Yu and He Sining talked for a while, and then walked out of the village committee and said goodbye to each other.
Zhou Yu stood at the door and chatted with the head of Tao Village for a while, looked at the time, it was almost past four o'clock, although the three divine dogs performed two surfing performances today, but it was just an extra surprise, and five o'clock still needed to be performed.
