Chapter 21 Reaching Cooperation
What's the situation?
3 million just for an overseas copyright?
So what is the price, even if your investment rises to 1 million, the mainland box office is still your own.
"Mr. Lin, are you sure you're not joking?"
"This is the result of many discussions between us, and we believe that this film has great potential overseas, and we are also willing to vigorously support domestic filmmakers, and I hope you can make better films......
There are a lot of balabala, which means that you have taken advantage of it.
"What about the issuance costs?"
"15 points, the vast majority of films are at this ratio, and we will also mobilize all channels to release this film with all our might. Lin Sheng said.
Tang An shook his head and said with a smile on his face, "Since your company supports us independent filmmakers so much, then 5 points, and it will also allow me to return a little more funds, so that I won't even be able to recover the cost." ”
Tang An is already very satisfied with the proportion of the film's revenue distribution, even though he knows that China Film may be able to get more money on overseas copyrights.
But he doesn't have that channel himself, and it's already lucky to be able to keep the mainland box office!
However, the distribution fee can still be fought for, it depends on how much China Film expects from overseas copyrights, and whether they can ignore this pitiful little distribution fee.
"5 points, this is the treatment that only famous directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are eligible to enjoy, Director Tang's request is too much!" Lin Sheng frowned.
Even if China Film doesn't care about this distribution fee, but the rules are there, if a newcomer director's film can get the same treatment as a famous director, it won't be laughed at.
Tang An also realized that his request was too outrageous, so he immediately changed his words, "Then compromise, how about 8 points?"
Lin Sheng shook his head, still thinking it was too low.
Although Han Sanping gave up part of the profits to Tang An, compared to the 1.4 million meter yuan, this issuance fee is nothing.
However, as the head of the distribution department, it is his duty to strive for a higher share for the group, and it is also a place that reflects his work ability.
After some haggling, the issuance ratio was finally positioned at 10 points, which is a figure acceptable to both parties.
finally finalized the release time, and it will be fully released in the mainland on September 30,
The next step is to sign the contract.
When he wrote his name on the contract, a stone in Tang An'an finally landed.
Later, he entrusted Lin Sheng to make up a series of procedures for the film in the name of China Film, and Tang An said, "By the way, Mr. Lin, can I watch the post-production of the film all the way?"
"That's fine, but I still recommend that you leave it to a professional to do it!" Lin Sheng nodded.
"This Mr. Lin rest assured, I just hope to see the finished film completed as soon as possible, after all, this is my first movie, and I always have a special feeling!"
"You rush to the Huairou Film and Television Base at 8 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and I will greet them!"
"Then I'll go first, and leave everything to Mr. Lin!"
After everything was done, Tang An took his leave.
Carrying a backpack, he walked out of the gate of China Film Group briskly.
However, I ran into an acquaintance.
Zhou Tao stood aside with his hands behind his back, obviously waiting for Tang An.
He approached and looked up and down, and said in an inexplicable tone, "Boy, what did you talk about with Lin Sheng?"
"I think Mr. Zhou will know this soon, and please support a movie ticket when the movie is released!"
Tang An was in a good mood now, so he didn't talk to him quickly, and strode to the nearest bus stop after dropping a sentence at random.
The capital in 04 was not congested, and it took more than two hours to drive to the Huairou Film and Television Base in Yangsong Town, HR District.
Different from Hengdian, the largest business of Huairou Film and Television Base is actually the post-production of film and television dramas, gathering more than half of the post-production units in the country.
As for the film and television shooting business, it will not be until about 08 years that the studios and exterior buildings in the base will be completed, and it will become a super-large film and television production center second only to Hengdian in China.
The film digital production base under China Film Group is located here, and the production base includes dozens of related supporting companies, including post-production companies.
For the arrival of him as a director, in fact, the special effects company is not welcome.
The layman directs the insider's business, and no one will be happy.
However, Tang An is not here to point fingers, just like Lin Sheng said, professional things are left to professionals.
If it weren't for the last resort, if he had a little more money, Tang An would not have taken on many hats.
To put it bluntly, Tang An is here to eat and live, and now he has less money than he has, and it is at least a mortgage to pay three to rent a house, which is a big burden for him.
The other party did not hesitate to give him an extra working meal, Tang An stayed in this special effects company every day, and promised not to touch any equipment inside, so the other party left him to find a table inside and sleep for more than half a month.
Fortunately, it's summer, otherwise I really can't stand it!
………
China Film Group, the distribution department has a weekly regular meeting.
Director Wang Jianyuan sat in the first place with a tired face, during this time he was busy with the release of "Harry Potter", and almost all the large and small theaters in China ran all over the world.
30% of the distribution share, although the release of a Hollywood blockbuster is said to be lying down and counting the money, but it is also necessary for the theater to give enough films, otherwise there will not be much box office, and there will not be many people who can get a share.
After smoking a cigarette and taking a sip of tea, Wang Jianyuan glanced at everyone in the audience and said, "What good projects do you have in the past few days, let's take them out and talk about them!"
The leaders of each group looked down at the documents in front of them, and no one spoke first.
In the past few years, the major distribution companies have almost mastered the lifeblood of the film industry, and all the producers are begging you, eat and take cards, and young models sleep with you.
But there are also its own difficulties behind the scenery, and those who do distribution must also have performance, otherwise the director of the hall will personally negotiate with the theater company?
For these team leaders, performance is the most important thing, and the group's ability evaluation is all based on performance, which is directly related to their own future.
And those producers often choose the ones with the best performance in the past, after all, if all the projects you handle hit the street, the theater chain will naturally have concerns when scheduling films, and the producers are also worried that they will become the next target to hit the street.
But high-quality projects are hard to come by, and in recent years, the audience has recognized big directors, big stars, and big productions, and movies that contain these three elements are the objects of everyone's competition.
No one wanted to make a bird, and the atmosphere was quiet as usual, and everyone's eyes were on the table, as if there was something attractive on it.
Looking at these subordinates who had no sense of urgency, Wang Jianyuan couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, as if he was holding a meeting in those lifeless state-owned enterprises.
Thinking that he personally ran to the front line this time, running back and forth, and these people didn't do anything in the company, Wang Jianyuan was angry.
ps: Ask for a collection and ask for a recommendation ticket!!
