Chapter 97 Choice of Issuer
Zhu Mei lied to Liao Shi.
In fact, the people in the crew, including Shui Qingshan, including Shen Huan, did not say anything about "the one with the highest price wins".
But Zhu Mei couldn't pass her own level.
Obviously, it only takes about 3 million to shoot "Love Letter", Zhu Mei also used her reputation and vision to vouch, but in the end, Liao Shi did not agree.
From that moment on, the bold and generous Senior Brother Liao in Zhu Mei's heart no longer existed.
Even if she comforted everyone before, saying that Liao Shi gave her the next filming plan, she could turn over no matter what, which is also false.
The movie "Love Letter", whether it is a success or a failure, she will not cooperate with Liao Shi again.
Oh, it's not so absolute, it's just that when she makes movies in the future, whoever gives good conditions will cooperate with whom, Liao Shi is just an ordinary collaborator.
Now that "Love Letter" has achieved unprecedented success, Zhu Mei has jumped from a second-tier director to a quasi-first-line director.
As long as "Love Letter" achieves the good box office it deserves in China and Japan and South Korea, Zhu Mei will become a real first-line director, second only to the level of the five major directors.
At that time, there will only be a few major film companies vying to cooperate with her, and no one else will refuse this big director at all.
Therefore, Zhu Mei had enough capital and directly rejected the olive branch thrown by Liao Shi.
I knew that I was rich today, how could I do this to me at that time?
At this time, Zhu Mei was very glad that although she had wavered, most of the time she insisted that "Love Letter" was a rare good movie, so she supported her to go to Taiji.
What she has to do at this moment is to let "Love Letter" be released nationwide, in Japan and South Korea, to get the fruits of victory that it should have obtained!
Liao Shi was definitely not the first to come to the door, when he was in Taiji, Shanhai.com and Yunxing Entertainment, as well as several second-rate film companies, all contacted Zhu Mei.
But at that time, she was thinking about the final prize and wanted to wait.
Now that the grand prize has been obtained, and it is an unprecedented number of awards to be won together, Zhu Mei will definitely depend on the conditions, and then set it as soon as possible.
No matter how popular "Love Letter" is, there is a time, and after this time, the effect will be much worse.
It's funny to say, although Liao Shi said it for a long time, he didn't say a practical condition at all, just emphasizing that the senior brother would not treat the junior sister badly, which was actually useless.
At present, the conditions given by the three major film companies are similar.
All of them are released with a total of 1,000 screens, 70% of which are in first- and second-tier cities, and if the box office exceeds 50 million yuan in the first week, then another 500 screens in second- and third-tier cities will be added in the second week.
The number of screens of 1,500 can be ranked in the top ten in all the history of literary films.
And the share ratio they give is also sincere, which is 35%-38% of the total box office.
Usually, the producer's total box office share is only about 33%, but now the distributor has conceded 2-5 percentage points, which is a big benefit.
If it is sold for 100 million, it will be millions more shared.
Zhu Mei knows that this is actually the routine of the three major film companies, they have a specific correspondence system, and what level of film corresponds to what kind of sharing cooperation model.
Now for "Love Letter", I am afraid that it is second only to the standard of literary films directed by Hao He.
And their operational strength and publicity ability are certainly not comparable to second-tier film companies.
Even if Xuanwu Film is the first in the second line, it is not as good as the three major film companies.
However, in fact, the best conditions are not the three major film companies, but the mountain and sea network that contacted Zhu Mei in Taiji.
Zheng Rongrong has seen the popularity and popularity of "Love Letter", and she is even the only one among the bigwigs in the domestic film and television entertainment industry who has personally watched "Love Letter", so she can better understand the charm of "Love Letter".
On the night when "Love Letter" won five awards, she sent a WeChat chat to Zhu Mei, and opened the conditions of Shanhai.com.
Shanhai.com guarantees that "Love Letter" will be screened in China for at least 4 weeks with a total of 2,000 screens in first, second and third-tier cities.
If the box office of "Love Letter" does not reach 100 million yuan, then Shanhai.com will directly give the "Love Letter" crew 40 million box office net profit sharing.
If the box office of "Love Letter" exceeds 100 million, then Shanhai.com will calculate and share it according to the proportion of 35%.
This condition is the most generous, and it ensures that the income of "Love Letter" is at least 40 million.
The only thing to worry about now is whether the operation, distribution and publicity capabilities of Shanhai.com will work.
If their publicity ability is poor, although there are so many screens, although they have such a long release time, their influence and box office will not be good.
However, Zhu Mei felt that she should have confidence in Zheng Rongrong.
Because her father is Zheng Qian!
It's Zheng Qian, the richest man in China!
She has such a deep background, and she herself has poured energy into this industry, and such an important movie as "Love Letter" should be her first step to break through barriers and enter the film industry.
In this case, even if Zheng Rongrong spends more money, she must make "Love Letter" a good start.
As long as "Love Letter" has a good start, it means that the distribution network of Shanhai.com has a good start.
After thinking about it, Zhu Mei, who already had a tendency in her heart, directly called Shen Huan at night.
Shen Huan was also very hard, the day after returning from Taiji, he went to school and did not have a day off.
received a call from Zhu Mei and heard Zhu Mei talk about the latest progress of the distribution, and Shen Huan on the other side of the phone did not speak for 5 minutes.
But Zhu Mei believed that Shen Huan was thinking, and it must be useful.
Since seeing the original Chinese version of "The Gift of Room No. 7" in Zhang Zaiyun's hand, she firmly believes that in the movie industry, Shen Huan's vision must be very accurate.
"Then Shanhai Net!" Shen Huan finally made a decision, and his tone became firm: "Aunt Mei, we choose Shanhai Net!"
"Why?" Zhu Mei couldn't help but ask.
"We are all newcomers to the film industry, so I believe in Zheng Rongrong's heart that does not admit defeat. Shen Huan said, "She doesn't like others to say that she is Zheng Qian's daughter, so she will definitely work hard in her career." Under the leadership of such a person, Shanhai.com will definitely be full of vitality and hard work, so let's accompany Zheng Rongrong to fight like this!"
"Good!"
Zhu Mei smiled and hung up the phone.
It seems that Xiao Huan is more courageous, he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't make up his mind at all.
Since "Love Letter" was fought all the way, then why should you be afraid of any disappointment in terms of distribution?
In such a situation, "Love Letter" can still capsize, that is a strange thing!
