488, Ning Yuan's plan

At the Disney headquarters, Ning Yuan not only met Michael and Frank of the film company, but also met Roy, vice president of the group.

This is a silver-haired old man with a neat big back, about sixty or seventy years old, although his hair is all white, but he is in good spirits, and when he shakes hands with them, Ning Yuan can feel very powerful.

And when it came time to negotiate, Ning Yuan felt stronger strength.

"More than $100 million is nothing to us at Disney. ”

"We can be a sole proprietorship, why should we ask you to cooperate?"

"What good can we do if we find you to have a joint venture?"

"How much money can you come up with?"

"Box office? As far as I know, the total annual box office in your Huaxia in the past few years seems to be less than 300 million US dollars, right?"

......

In the face of Roy's aggressiveness, Ning Yuan was not angry, if he really looked down on it as he said, there would not be today's negotiation.

Since he talks, it shows that he has this intention.

"Not only does your company know about our Chinese market, but we also know about your company, which is a comparison of the number of Disney films in the past ten years, as well as investment and box office ......"

Ning Yuan directly put out the data, and on a piece of paper, the relevant content was printed.

"The investment and income are not proportional, and even the profits of the main business of animated films, as well as animated television, are not satisfactory, which shows that this time to spend more than 100 million US dollars to make this movie, it is not so much a big deal, but a desperate bet. ”

Seeing that Roy was silent, and even his eyes narrowed slightly, with a somewhat gloomy look, Ning Yuan softened his tone, and he was not as needley as he was just now, and smiled:

"Of course, I don't say this to show anything, but to show one thing, your company can cooperate with us, you might as well try it, and this cooperation can also take the sharing model of Hollywood studios and theaters. ”

"Oh?" Roy asked, blinking, as if in thought, but still asked:

"What exactly?"

"This kind of investment, if the box office is not even 100 million US dollars, it can only be said to be a complete failure, and we don't want a penny. ”

Roy's body subconsciously sat up straight, including Michael and Frank, who all looked at Ning Yuan in surprise.

In Hollywood, in the United States, the box office is less than $100 million...... Not too much.

In recent years, four or five hundred films have been released in the United States, but less than 40 have grossed more than 100 million...... In other words, more than 90% of them are not reached, and many of them are not low investments.

If it is true that investment is directly proportional to the box office, then everyone is throwing money, in fact, of course this is not the case.

Therefore, Ning Yuan was able to say this directly, which was completely beyond their expectations, and naturally disrupted their plan before the negotiation.

And Ning Yuan continued:

"Between 1 and 200 million, we take 10%, between 2 and 300 million, we take 20%...... And so on until we reach a 5% increase in our investment ratio, and then we will not increase it. ”

Of course, Ning Yuan has to set an upper limit, and it can't be too much.

Otherwise, according to the global box office of more than 600 million, by analogy, they can get 60%.

It's okay to say it now, but when the results come out, Disney has to go crazy.

Regardless of whether you can get the proceeds back in the end, it is equivalent to falling out with Disney, and you still want to participate in the follow-up production......?

Of course Ning Yuan wouldn't be so short-sighted, when would this ...... Since the second part, the box office has jumped to the billion club, and that is the big fat.

Just like when Ning Yuan negotiated with Han Ping, not to mention the guarantee, he only took one percent of his income, it seemed that he suffered a loss at the time, but maintaining an intimate relationship, isn't it fragrant now?

Take this time as an example, if there is no such relationship and friendship, Han Ping will definitely not come to vote, and if he does not participate, Ning Yuan alone will not be able to pull Jiang Zhiqiang, and the two of them are like a balance.

Without them, Ning Yuan couldn't play alone.

If you can't invest, you may not even be in this role.

Sometimes looking at the long term does not necessarily mean what it means, but it widens the road.

Hearing Ning Yuan's words, Jiang Zhiqiang and Han Ping glanced at each other and took a deep breath, but they didn't make a sound.

Because before coming, Ning Yuan told Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang all this, and persuaded them.

Even so, now that they heard Ning Yuan's plan again, the two of them still felt a little frightened.

There's no way not to be nervous, it's not a small amount, in case it doesn't even reach 100 million, it's all in vain......

However, because of this, even Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang were nervous, and Ning Yuan firmly believed that Roy would not be able to refuse this proposal, because it was too tempting.

If Ning Yuan invests 30%, and according to his plan, it will take more than 300 million US dollars at the box office to do it, and at that time, for the production cost of 100 million, or rather, they only need to take more than 60 million costs, and they will already make a lot of money.

After all, Disney still has to take more than 55% of the account even now.

In other words, even if the cost of publicity and distribution is added, as long as the box office exceeds 200 million, it will be profitable. Between 2 and 300 million, Ning Yuan and they only take 20%, and the remaining eighty percent is theirs, and then multiplied by the account sharing ratio, in this range alone, they can get more than 40 million.

"Why are you so confident?"

Staring at Ning Yuan, Roy asked the point he was most puzzled about, and it was also a string of question marks in Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang's heads.

Ning Yuan smiled, leaned back, adjusted a comfortable sitting position, and then said:

"In my eyes, Captain Jack is actually a superhero, and there are too many superheroes in the United States, but all of them are high, although most of them were civilians before they became heroes, but after that, they all need to look up. ”

After a pause, seeing that Roy was listening carefully, Ning Yuan continued:

"But Captain Jack is different, he only appears in the most critical moments, and other times, his treachery, his cowardice, and even his pettiness, are particularly common. The United States, or the whole world, needs such an imperfect hero. ”

Roy was stunned, while Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, although they have been immersed in the film industry for half their lives, they can't understand such a logic.

With so many shortcomings, even people who are selfish and cowardly many times, and who don't have strong abilities, are also considered heroes?

In fact, this is one of the differences between Chinese and European and American cultures, Roy can understand it, but the key is that even if Ning Yuan talks about it, how will this movie be a big hit, but after all, it still stays at talking, not real money at the box office.

Unless someone tells him that this movie can sell more than 600 million at the box office, then he will definitely sweep Ning Yuan and them out of the house now, how can outsiders take advantage of it.

But Ning Yuan's previous note of Ma Wei did hit Roy's soft underbelly, talking about Disney's current predicament.

"Well, I agree with you for now. Roy nodded.
