"Director Li, meet again. ”

After playing polo, Harry Tivedi retired from the polo field and returned to the glass house.

Looking at Harry Tivedi, who was holding a helmet protector in his left hand and a polo cue in his right hand, if he didn't know that he was really 52 years old, Li Zi'an might think that he was forty years old at most, and he was still that kind of charismatic uncle-type man.

"Mr. Harry Tivedi, meet again. Li Zi'an got up and shook Harry Tivedi's hand, and then smiled: "I wonder if Mr. Harry Tivedi called me today, is there any good news to tell me?"

"Your instincts are accurate. ”

Harry Tivedi responded with a smile, put down the things in his hand, and then he gestured to the assistant next to him, who immediately took a step forward in understanding and respectfully placed a check in front of Li Zi'an.

Seeing the blank check in front of him, Li Zi'an was stunned, and then looked at Harry Tivedi with some puzzlement.

This check is the blank check that Li Zi'an left to Harry Tivedi with the script the day before yesterday, but now it has been returned by Harry Tiwidi intact, but the other party said that it was good news, which makes Li Zi'an a little confused now.

"Mr. Harry Tivedi, ...... you?"

Li Zi'an picked up the blank check on the table and asked a little puzzled.

Harry Tivedi smiled: "I took the script, but I don't want money." ”

Hearing Harry Tivedi's previous words, Li Zi'an was overjoyed, but before he could show it, he heard the latter sentence.

"Mr. Harry Tivedi, you ...... Do you want a share?"

Li Zi'an is not a novice now, and after thinking about Harry Tivedi's words a little, he understands the potential meaning of the other party.

"That's right. ”

Harry Tivedi responded calmly.

When Li Zi'an heard this, he lowered his head and groaned.

Harry Tivedi didn't want a share of his salary, which was unexpected to him, but it was reasonable.

Behind every international first-line movie star is an incomparable appeal and influence.

If they can join in a movie, there will be a fairly intuitive increase in the box office of the movie, and these people have huge traffic, in the early stage of the film, as long as their names are released, there is no need to deliberately promote and market, and countless media will compete to report it.

Because of this, these international front-line companies have the capital to negotiate terms on an equal footing with investors.

In order to control the cost of upfront investment, many investors are willing to sign sharing contracts with these international front-line companies.

Otherwise, the sky-high salary of hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn really puts some film investors under great pressure.

Therefore, the behavior of the international front line to settle the remuneration with box office sharing is a relatively common behavior in the large-scale film industry.

For the movie "Wrestle, Dad", Li Zi'an's initial investment budget was less than 100 million Chinese dollars, but if he wanted to invite Harry Tivedi to join, this budget would be directly expanded to 200 million.

It can be said that Harry Tivedi's salary alone accounts for 50% of the investment in the entire film.

But even so, Li Zi'an still feels that it is worth it.

Because of Harry Tivedi's acting skills, popularity, influence, professional attitude and other factors, he is worth the price.

Originally, for Harry Tivedi's salary budget, Li Zi'an's psychological offer was very high, because he knew very well how high the value of the movie "Wrestling, Dad" would be if it was filmed well.

But Li Zi'an only didn't expect Harry Tivedi to ask for a share in advance, mainly because Li Zi'an made movies in China, basically cooperating with second- and third-tier actors, and Li Zi'an had never been in contact with the international first-line coffee position.

Li Zi'an pondered for a moment, and then he spoke: "Mr. Harry Tiwidi, how much do you think you want at the box office?"

"Director Xiao Li, if I don't count my salary, how much will we invest in this movie?" Harry Tivedi did not respond, but asked rhetorically.

When Li Zi'an heard this, he said calmly: "If the actor's salary is removed, my estimated investment is about 700 million rupees." ”

Originally, Li Zi'an's estimated investment of 1 billion rupees included his plan to hire second-tier actors in India as the actor's salary, and now that the actor has Harry Tivedi joining, the budget of nearly 300 million rupees will naturally be excluded.

"Then Director Li, what was the salary price you originally expected for me?" Harry Tivedi asked rhetorically.

"Around Rs 1000 crore. ”

Li Zi'an responded.

"Well, that's a pretty high price. ”

Harry Tivedi made a more pertinent assessment.

At present, the price of international first-line movie stars is generally between 50 million and 200 million.

There is a huge price range in the middle, which is related to many factors of international movie stars, such as influence, popularity, traffic, influence radiation range, ability, acting skills, word of mouth and many other factors.

At present, most of the international movie stars who can get more than 100 million yuan in the world are in China.

Because of the unprecedented prosperity of the current film and television market in Huaxia, major capital giants have entered the market one after another, so the status of Chinese movie stars has naturally risen.

And movie stars like Harry Tivedi, in terms of the scope of influence, are naturally incomparable with international movie stars in China.

The influence of international movie stars in China is global, and they are extremely popular on all continents of the world, and although Harry Tivedi is also famous in the world, his influence is mainly concentrated in Asia, and his more value is reflected in his ability.

Therefore, the expected salary price given by Li Zi'an is 1 billion rupees, which is naturally a relatively high level for Harry Tivedi, who usually pays around 800 million rupees.

"In that case, I want 40% of the film's box office share, which is not much, right?"

Harry Tivedi groaned, and he opened his mouth to give his offer.

When Li Zi'an heard the price offered by Harry Tivedi, Li Zi'an immediately smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Harry Tivedi, 40% of the box office share is too high......"

"Too high?" Harry Tivedi was a little stunned: "Director Xiao Li, according to the investment ratio, I want 40% of the box office, which is not high." ”

When Li Zi'an heard this, he chuckled and said, "Mr. Harry Tivedi, the box office share shouldn't be calculated like this, don't bully me for being young." ”

"I wrote the script of this movie, I prepared the crew, and I directed it, if this movie is wholly invested by me, then there is no need to worry about this, but Mr. Harry Tivedi, if you want to enter, then we have to count these, after all, my hard work is also valuable. ”

If the previous invitation was a collaboration between strong and powerful, now it is a sale.

Li Zi'an can distinguish between the two, and similarly, Li Zi'an believes that Harry Tivedi can also distinguish between them.

"What's more, I still have huge resources in my hands, and when the movie is filmed, I have the ability to make the movie be released in China, and even work hard to make the movie be released in Asia, how should I calculate my channel fee?"

Li Zi'an counted the chips in his hand for Harry Tivedi with a smile on his face, and his tone was calm, but Li Zi'an's smile seemed more and more like a little fox to Harry Tivedi.

So shrewd!

Know so much!

Harry Tiwidi calls himself a genius in his heart.

"So, if you are going to take a stake, Mr. Harry Tivedi, I can only give you this number. ”

After Li Zi'an finally finished speaking, he slowly stretched out two fingers.

"20%?" Seeing this, Harry Tividi shook his head again and again: "This share is too low, if the box office of our movie is not high at that time, then I will simply work in vain." ”

Hearing this, Li Zi'an shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "If Mr. Harry Tivedi is not confident in the box office of the movie, you can still choose to settle the salary, and what I said before is still valid." ”

Li Zi'an said, while reaching out and slowly pushing the blank check on the table in the direction of Harry Tivedi.

"This ......"

Harry Tivedi suddenly struggled.

asked for a salary, he was a little unwilling, because he was very optimistic about the value of this script, and Li Zi'an held the channel of Huaxia Cinema, and his intuition told him that this movie had the possibility of a box office hit.

To share, Li Zi'an's share is too low, according to Li Zi'an's calculation just now, and from Li Zi'an's expression, the success rate of his upward bidding should not be very high.

So whether to share or get paid, Harry Tivedi is really a little undecided now.

Harry Tivedi is thinking about it, and Li Zi'an is also thinking about it.

First of all, Li Zi'an wants to ensure that he wants to stabilize Harry Tivedi to join his film, and secondly, under this premise, he strives for the greatest benefit for himself as much as possible.

In the glass room, the air conditioner was blowing.

Anya and the rest of the group waited quietly, and none of them were in a position to intervene in the negotiations between Li Zi'an and Harry Tivedi.

After about a minute of silence, Li Zi'an suddenly said with a smile.

"Mr. Harry Tivedi, I wonder if you are interested in a gambling agreement?"

"Oh?"
