In fact, in the end, Zhang Hong was not sure whether the child's surname was Zhang or Lin.

is still two, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Lin.

What if it's a girl?

It can't be a boy's surname Zhang and a girl's surname Lin, right?

Then give birth to two boys?

But Zhang Hong prefers girls.

Besides, after the child grows up and goes to school, others ask, you two are obviously brothers/sisters, why don't you have the same surname?

What should I do if my child is wearing small shoes? What should I do if I am excluded?

It's all a problem.

But there is only one most important problem - Lin Muqing is not his girlfriend.

Temporary girlfriend, that's really not a girlfriend.

But at least this noon has passed.

After that, Liu Zhe's family never contacted Zhang Hong again.

Time flies, and it's not worth writing about.

Soon, the time came to the end of December.

The New Year is already very close, and there is less than a month to go.

And Zhang Hong has already taken the finished films of the two films to the capital to visit Wu Dingguo again.

Not for anything else, it's just for the sake of scheduling.

When he came to the capital and got out of the airport, Zhang Hong didn't see Wu Dingguo send someone to pick him up.

Lin Muqing didn't know why he didn't come with him this time.

Zhang Hong called Wu Dingguo, and someone sent a navigation address for Zhang Hong to go by himself.

It's not easy to live in the capital, and even taxis are more expensive than Los Angeles.

The starting price here in the capital is 10 yuan, and after more than 3 kilometers, it is 2 yuan per kilometer, until it reaches 10 kilometers.

The prices of these two in Los Angeles are five yuan and one piece five.

However, in Zhang Hong's previous life, it seemed that the starting price of Los Angeles had risen to about six yuan, and he forgot the specifics.

Anyway, in this life, the starting price of a Los Angeles taxi is five yuan.

Moreover, the traffic jam in the capital is serious, and some places do not allow taxis, which is the cost of taxis

Anyway, Zhang Hong will definitely not take a taxi.

I searched the Internet and found that I had to take two subway and one bus to go to Wu Dingguo's place.

Endure it.

An hour and a half later, Zhang Hong appeared outside an old-fashioned seven-story neighborhood outside the Fourth or Fifth Ring Road.

Under the warm winter sun, there were several old men and old ladies basking in the sun sitting at the gate.

It seems that Lao Wu is planning to entertain Zhang Hong at home this time.

chatted with the janitor and handed over a cigarette, and Zhang Hong smoothly blended into this old-fashioned community.

All the way to the fifth floor of the third unit of one of the buildings, Zhang Hong knocked on the old-fashioned security door of the house on the left.

Soon the door opened.

Wu Dingguo, who had flour on his hands, hurriedly beckoned him into the house, "Come on, the dumplings that happened to be wrapped at noon, with fennel traps and leek filling, let's eat them together." ”

The corners of Zhang Hong's mouth tugged, but he still went in obediently.

In addition to him, there is an old aunt in Lao Wu's family who is making dumplings, and a handsome man in his thirties is rolling dumpling wrappers with a rolling pin next to the board.

Seeing Zhang Hong come in, both of them raised their heads and smiled.

Wu Dingguo pulled Zhang Hong and introduced them one by one, "This is your Aunt Li, this is your Brother Wu Di." ”

Zhang Hong glanced at the flour stained on the sleeves of his clothes, and said with a smile: "Auntie is good, Angkor is good." ”

Wu Di

He had read one in his previous life, and the buddy with this name seemed to have crossed into a girl, and he was also attacked by the men in the parallel world

Wu Dingguo continued to introduce with a smile, "Your aunt has retired, and Wu Di is now from the theater chain, so ask him if you have something." ”

"How do you know that I came to you to go to the theater?" Zhang Hong laughed.

"If you have nothing to do, you will come to look for me?"

Wu Dingguo's old god is there, "If there is any problem, you can tell Wu Di directly." ”

Zhang Hong was not polite, and immediately went to wash the handle, and then came over and began to wrap dumplings.

He also asked while wrapping up: "Angkor, what is the situation with this movie on the theaters? How much box office do I have to sell for a movie to recoup the cost?"

Wu Di smiled, and explained while rolling the dumpling skin: "After your movie is released to the next stall, 5 of these total box office will be deducted to pay the special fund for the film industry, and then pay the special business tax of 33.

Then you need to pay a digital agency fee of less than 3 to the film and television digital company. Of course, if you have a box office of 600 million, you don't have to pay it.

After all these deductions are made, the remaining money will be divided into 5 for the theater company, 50 for the theater side, and the rest will be shared between your producer and the distributor.

As for the ratio, it depends on what type of contract you sign. But I heard the old man say that your movies are all invested by yourself, and the rest of the profits are yours, and the losses are all yours.

High risk, high reward. ”

Zhang Hong's mind is almost clouded:

"Angkor, what's this publisher?

And why did this directly take away more than half of his box office revenue?

Be ruthless!

Wu Dile put a pile of dumpling skins on the grate curtain, patted the flour on his hand, and said:

"There are several types, agency distribution means that you entrust the distributor to act as an agent, and they are responsible for follow-up matters, for example, if your box office exceeds 100 million, you have to give them millions or tens of millions, which is according to the contract you signed.

If the other party doesn't reach this box office, they won't charge a penny. They don't participate in the box office sharing, they just take money to do things. ”

"The second is to distribute the account separately, according to the proportion of the contract signed, and how much box office the film sells in the end, people will share it proportionally. ”

"Then there's the buyout, which is actually a buyout, but I don't recommend that you do that. For the time being, no one will ask you to bet, and it is generally the second account sharing model. ”

Zhang Hong frowned, "Brother Ang, in terms of the general industry average, how much does the issuer have to divide the account?"

"Generally, it is 3 to 7 before the account is divided, and if you ask the issuer to pay the publicity fee first, this proportion will be higher, and it may be 10.

Remember, I'm talking about the 10 before the split is made."

Zhang Hong: ""

He couldn't help but scold: "Then why can't I kneel and ask for food?"

Dare to love me for making movies with my old nose, and I am still busy before and after, but I am working for others? What is the difference between me and the serf tenants in ancient times?"

In ancient times, mud legs rented the landlord's land, and most of the grain planted every year had to be handed over, and fifty percent of it could be left, so it was the landlord's mother's benevolence!

Modern social animals go to work every day, and are squeezed by the boss to draw flatbread, pour chicken soup, and beat chicken blood! As a result, the hard-earned money earned is either given to the developer or to the bank to repay the loan!

And to his mother's landlord!

I thought I wouldn't have to be a "tenant" if I didn't go to work, but I ended up making a broken movie and being a "tenant"?

In a movie, I am tired of thinking about the script and looking for actors.

worked hard to finish filming, post-production, and finally could only get 33 of the total box office?

It means that he has invested 30 million in this martial arts movie, and he needs at least 100 million to barely return to his capital!

Gan!

Fucking capital!

Seeing Zhang Hong's constipated expression, Wu Dingguo said, "You are so short of money?"

Then he suddenly realized, "I understand, you put all your money into the filming, do you think that the current investment is not big enough, and the money you earn back is not enough for you to make the film you want?"

As for pulling investment, he didn't mention it.

If there is capital investment, there must be various restrictions and VAM agreements, and it may also require changing the script and inserting actors into the crew.

Old guys like them have the capital, the ability and the patience to rip off, but Zhang Hong, this kid is used to it, and he can't be arrogant, he definitely can't bear that.

Zhang Hong didn't refute, "Uncle Wu, isn't there any way to make my movie not only have a high number of films, but also give them less money?"

Wu Dingguo nodded: "Yes." ”

"Where?"

"In a dream. ”

“”

Zhang Hong wrapped a dumpling and sighed, "Is there really no way?"

Wu Dingguo glanced at his son, and suddenly said, "Actually, there are two ways. ”
