If it weren't for the $100 million production cost, today's negotiations would have resulted in nothing.

But even so, even if the box office is 200 million, according to Disney's rules, roughly calculate the 55% share, and get back 110 million, deducting the cost of 100 million, that is, a profit of 10 million.

A family in millions?

In other words, 200 million is the capital preservation.

Even if it breaks 300 million, after deducting the cost, the gross profit attributable to the producer is 65 million, even if Ning Yuan can get 30%, it will be less than 20 million, and there is still no return to the cost.

What's more, this does not include other consumption such as tax rates, otherwise it is lower.

If they want to return their net income, they need to break 400 million at least at the box office.

Not to mention Disney, how many movies in the whole of Hollywood have broken 400 million at the box office?

Naturally, Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang were a little discouraged.

Although they didn't say it explicitly, Ning Yuan could feel that they had an opinion on giving up the copyright and asking for a 'castle in the sky' style of follow-up priority.

In fact, Ning Yuan also said this point during the previous discussion, and they also said that there was no doubt.

But the point is that now this subsequent priority is conditional on the waiver of copyright.

If it was his own subordinates, Ning Yuan could use the words "You will know when the time comes" perfunctory, but they are partners, Ning Yuan said:

"I have analyzed that there have been no films of this type for decades, and superheroes in Europe and the United States have similar characteristics, and this different setting is very eye-catching. ”

"In addition, it is the down-to-earth character setting of the protagonist, if in a fantasy movie, the protagonist is no longer the image of Wei Guangzheng, but down-to-earth, and each of us can find our own shadow on it, will this sense of substitution increase a little?"

Although the words 'Wei Guangzheng' and 'down-to-earth' sound fresh to them, they can still understand the meaning.

Seeing their expressions, Ning Yuan smiled and said:

"But don't forget that it's not a drama, it's a fantasy, a fantasy like Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings. These two movies have been released by Uncle Qiang, and you should know its selling points very well. ”

After getting acquainted, Jiang Zhiqiang said that Mr. Jiang was too angry, and Ning Yuan changed his name to Uncle Qiang.

Now hearing Ning Yuan say this, Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, and finally connected these two movies with the Caribbean, Han Ping was also thoughtful, the two movies released this year have brought a unique freshness to Chinese audiences.

Especially the cool special effects, the audience was amazed, including Han Ping, after all, this is a phenomenon.

Although the box office of these two movies in China is more than 50 million, this is 02 years after all, and the annual box office of the country is about 1 billion, accounting for more than 5% respectively.

Ning Yuan continued:

"The characteristics of Hollywood blockbusters, first of all, are all all kinds of novel and cool eye-catching, those special effects, those wonderful ideas, all of which fascinate us.

Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang both nodded, if it weren't for that, they wouldn't have come to talk to Ning Yuan about this at all.

In fact, the mainstream audience of the Caribbean in China should actually be a little older, over twenty or thirty years old, which is also the reason why the box office in China is not high.

After all, unlike The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, especially the latter, young people prefer it.

Ning Yuan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right, the plot is good, and in terms of special effects, Disney production must not be worried, it definitely exceeds expectations, in this way, we still have nothing to doubt." ”

Looking into the distance, Ning Yuan raised his hand: "The box office will definitely be very high, so high that we can all make a lot of money." ”

Jiang Zhiqiang and Han Ping glanced at each other, and they were indeed moved by Ning Yuan's words, and there was a hint of expectation in their eyes, but then Han Ping seemed to think of something and asked:

"In that case, why did they let us in?"

Ning Yuan smiled: "The authorities are fascinated, I, a bystander, are clear." ”

Jiang Zhiqiang added: "Now Disney's stall is too big, mainly because of financial constraints, in fact, it is because of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" that they will set up a movie with this theme, just to follow the trend and seize the market, but if the pace is urgent, it is easy to worry." ”

It is true that the second male in the Caribbean found the elf prince with this in mind.

It can even be said that in the first Caribbean film, the second male lead had a stronger box office appeal than the first male lead, after all, he had just wrapped the power of "The Lord of the Rings" and gained a large number of female fans around the world.

Even the man couldn't help but admire how there could be such a beautiful man.

It's just that after arriving in the Caribbean, he became a grizzled little pirate and a little blacksmith, which made many fans dissatisfied, but even so, he was still handsome, and he became the face of the whole movie, and he also had a different masculinity of the elf prince.

Han Ping was stunned, and then thought about it:

"If this is the case, the first part is successful and brings great fame, doesn't it mean that as long as the level of the second part is not lower than the first part, there should be no big problem for the box office to surpass the first part?"

Ning Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "The third uncle finally understood my intentions, yes, because of this, I want the follow-up priority, otherwise the first part will make them money, and the capital flow will be opened, and the second part will need to be invested by others." ”

Not only Han Ping, but Jiang Zhiqiang also came back to his senses at this time, sighed, and then said with some amusement:

"It looks like we're really old, haha, but I'm lucky to know you. ”

"Xiaoyuan is very powerful, I found out a few years ago. Han Ping put his hand on Ning Yuan's shoulder, with a gratifying look at the success of his juniors.

However, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately debunked: "Then you just questioned it?"

Han Ping choked, and then said angrily: "It's as if you are relieved." ”

Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help laughing, Han Ping also found it funny, and then both of them laughed, and Ning Yuan immediately joined in.

A day later, Michael called and said that the company had agreed to this approach, waived the copyright, and replaced it with a subsequent priority that was not less than the investment.

Then, there is a new round of detailed consultations, drafting contracts, and mutual audits.

The day before Christmas Eve, at Disney headquarters.

"Happy working together!"

The signature takes effect, and both parties ...... It should be reached by many parties, shaking hands and congratulating each other.

"Bang!"

Champagne opens to celebrate the occasion.

Ning Yuan and the others glanced at each other, and they were all excited, and Roy and the others also laughed, and seemed to think that this cooperation was very cost-effective.

Win-win.
