Chapter 598: "Alliance II" begins preparations
"Director Lin, if you think my Lao Huang's acting skills are okay, when you have the opportunity, ask me to cooperate, hehe. ”
After eating a wine for two hours, the four of them chatted enthusiastically, and now that the end is approaching, Huang Bo's face was a little red, and he joked with Lin Ti at this time.
In the same way, if it were Liu Xing, it would definitely be very arrogant, but for Huang Bo, a man in his forties, it would be very comfortable, Lin Ti also said with a smile: "That's for sure, I really have the idea of making a comedy sometime, if it's appropriate, I must invite Mr. Huang to come." ”
is always a big meat and big fish, and occasionally Lin Ti also wants to eat some green vegetables, and making comedy is not a way for him to relax.
"It's the best, you can also take me, I think the comedy is okay. Xu Zheng interjected and joked, he was really joking, his mentality was very relaxed, to be honest, he didn't really want to shoot under Lin Ti, but preferred to shoot by himself, anyway, now that Huaxia's channels around the world have been opened a lot, it is a good time to play.
Compared with Huang Bo, Xu Zheng is no longer such a pure actor, and what he said was more about adjusting the atmosphere and making Huang Bo less embarrassed.
After laughing, Ning Hao asked, "Director Lin, your "Alliance II" is about to start filming, right?"
"I'm just preparing for it, and it's going to be next year. Lin Ti said with a smile.
"Then I wish Director Lin a smooth shooting, and when this movie is scheduled, notify me in private, I'll stay away, don't worry, I will definitely not talk nonsense. Ning Hao stretched out his hand and said with a smile, this is to say goodbye, Lin Ti shook his head funny, just as he was joking, stretched out his hand to hold him, nodded and said: "Let's talk about it at this time, maybe I will avoid you, okay, go slowly." ”
"Yes, see you at the summit. ”
"Good. ”
Looking at the backs of their departure, Lin Ti slowly exhaled a breath, and then laughed dumbly, who would have thought that a few years ago, the little director who had a problem with his brain and ran to sell movies with a broken laptop on his back would now start worrying about the development of the Chinese film industry?
Forget it, I don't want to think about it, go home and hug my daughter-in-law, play with my daughter-in-law, isn't he fragrant?
......
"Aunt Lan, regarding the North American release of "Alliance II", do we release it ourselves or do we find a company over there to cooperate?"
On October 5th, Lin Ti in Li Lan's office asked him that he was going to start preparing for "Alliance II".
"What's the matter? This has to be decided at a meeting, and now our company's distribution system in North America is not very perfect, and if we release a film of the scale of "Alliance II" independently, we will have a certain loss, although we can use this to expand the channel, but there will also be a risk of further stimulating Hollywood companies. Li Lan said in a deep voice.
Of course, if it is the war stage, of course, I am not afraid, but now that a tacit understanding has been reached, the territory outside Hollywood depends on its own means, and if the real exciting fish dies and the net is broken, it is not a good thing for anyone, and the loss is too great.
"Okay, then make sure as soon as possible, this shooting can also borrow their strength, this shooting scale is huge. Lin Ti frowned and said.
"How huge, how much do you plan to invest?" Li Lan couldn't help but ask, even Lin Ti said that the scale was huge, and she was a little afraid.
"The investment is about 200 million US dollars, and both the United States and Tianhai have to shoot, mainly because there are more scenes. ”
"Hiss~" Li Lan took a breath of cool air, but she felt relieved, this feeling was very contradictory, such a big number, but because it was Lin Ti who said it, it felt okay.
Although Lin Ti said it vaguely, she calculated casually, the total investment of this drama plus the publicity expenses at that time will reach at least 300 million US dollars, more than 2 billion yuan!
What is this for? This is throwing money, why can't you make money with more than 2 billion yuan? Isn't it fragrant to invest in real estate?
This investment directly broke the investment record of Huaxia Films, not to mention that this is still the 200 million US dollars of shooting funds requested by Lin Ti, he is known as a financial director, if it is another director, 250 million US dollars will not be able to stop?
It's really Lin tired, if another director says he wants this investment, you see if Li Lan will slap it.
Are you dreaming?
But thinking about the global box office of "League One", it doesn't seem unacceptable.
"It's okay, it's okay, I thought you wanted $300 million. Li Lan shook her head and said, Lin Ti couldn't help but look strange when he heard it, why did you say that it was okay while taking cold air......
Well, in fact, he can still understand Li Lan's complicated feelings, he couldn't help but smile, Li Lan glanced at him, and said, "Okay, I know, let's sign the contract when we go back." ”
"Well, by the way, Aunt Lan, I plan to let Donnie and them invest in some shares in this play, about 15% of the shares. Lin Ti said.
He makes enough money, so he has to let the people who have been following him also earn some money, he doesn't take this thing seriously, Donnie and Yu Yan have helped him build a huge brand from the beginning, and it is appropriate to give some shares, the top actors in Hollywood have already occupied the box office share of the movie, not to mention that he is not giving it for nothing.
"No problem, you decide, what about the investment ratio?"
"I'll take 10 million US dollars plus 15% of the box office share, the investment ratio, Aunt Lan, you decide, you can invest as much as you want, if it's not enough, I'll make up for it." Lin Ti said quite cheerfully.
Anyway, his income is enough, and if he doesn't get a penny, he will have a 15% box office share, which is to calculate the box office, not the box office revenue, which is the same as the distributor and the theater chain, after they have finished dividing it, the rest is on the producer's side, this is Lin Ti's current value, and some other directors or actors share the proportion of revenue.
Do the math, the theater side deducts 45 percent, and pays almost nine points in taxes, which is 54 percent of the box office is gone, the distributor deducts another 8 percent, and Lin Ti takes another 15 percent, which is 77 percent gone, and only 23 percent is left for the producer.
A $200 million investment would require a billion dollars at the global box office to recoup the cost.
How many directors in China dare to pack tickets to get this kind of box office?
Except for Lin Ti, no.
In addition, the fifteen percent share that Lin Ti just said to Donnie was also in the producer's 100%, not the total box office.
"Okay, then I'm not polite to you, your studio invests 200 million, they invest 200 million, you invest 15 percent, and the company invests 1 billion, accounting for 70 percent, okay?" Li Lan asked.
Lin Ti thought about it, 200 million US dollars is almost 1.4 billion yuan, so he nodded in agreement.
In fact, under normal circumstances, a big production like this is co-produced by several companies, and there are multiple investors, which can be regarded as sharing the risk, otherwise a film with an investment of one or two hundred million yuan may be able to bankrupt a company.
But a movie like "Alliance II", especially directed by Lin Ti himself, does not mean that there is no risk, but the risk is too small, the investment is earned, how can Chenguang easily give up the investment ratio.
So after a few simple conversations, the two finalized the details of this cooperation, this situation has happened many times, so the speed is very fast, and after getting it, Lin Ti got up and said: "Aunt Nalan, I'll go to have a meeting with the crew first, you guys will get the people from the United States as soon as possible, and the set in the early stage will start to be built." ”
"Okay, you Aunt Lan are still not at ease, go ahead, pay attention to your body. ”
"Good. ”
With a wave of his hand, Lin Ti walked out of Li Lan's office, his mind was full of scenes from the movie, character modeling and the like, every time he was going to shoot was a big project, and this project was especially grand.
"Hey......"
Lin Ti sighed, after the second alliance is completed, it will start to lay out the plot of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, really, there is no quiet......
