Xu Zheng Studio, general manager Liu Ruishu is chatting with Xu Zheng about his future plans.

""Modern Times" is about to start filming in more than a week, and I can't push it now. Liu Ruishu sighed.

She has cooperated with Xu Zheng for six or seven years, and it is no longer an ordinary colleague relationship, and she has a deep friendship.

has only directed two films, and it is still a series, and the more important thing is that the copyright of this series is not in his hands, which is too radical.

Feng Xiaogang has been in Huayi for more than ten years, and Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping have also cooperated for more than 10 years.

Even Tang An, who worked alone, has been dormant for 5 years, and in these 5 years, he has been low-key and has bought 200 houses.

When Tang An's third film broke 100 million, he was jokingly called Spielberg of Huaguo, and Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou were compared, and the fourth movie really secured the position of a top director.

Although the third movie only broke 100 million, the fourth movie broke 200 million, which is far less than the box office of Xu Zheng's second film of 700 million.

But Tang An's ability and box office appeal are real, and the four movies have no top stars, all of them are unpopular themes.

Except for some tabloids who brag for sales and clicks, several major portals and big media have never put Xu Zheng in the list of top directors.

"People in Embarrassment" relies on the fame of Tang An's producer, otherwise it would not have been 130 million.

Ning Hao has the fame of "Crazy Stone", and the second "Crazy Racing" is only in the early 100 million, and the reputation of the movie is no worse than that of "People in Embarrassment".

The success of "Thai Embarrassment" is not the role of Xu Zheng alone, and the sequel to "People in Embarrassment" accounts for at least half of the credit.

It is more of the embarrassing series and actor Xu Zheng who are on fire, rather than director Xu Zheng.

The bystanders are clear, and Liu Ruishu can see it far more clearly than Xu Zheng.

But she definitely wouldn't say this to Xu Zheng.

"Why push, as long as the film is successful, everything is not a problem. ”

Xu Zheng shook his head and said firmly.

"I have already conceived the script for the next part, the location is in Xiangjiang, and I will start writing the script after the filming of "Modern Times", and I will give it to Tang Dong after the movie is released, and I can strive for a share of 10 points at that time. ”

The box office profit of "Thai Embarrassment" is 170 million, and Xu Zheng's two salaries add up to only 5 million.

Even if the third part is launched at this time, the director's salary and the actor's salary will rise to 15 million, and according to the income of "Thai Embarrassment", the studio's 30%X40% will only be 20 million, and they will only have a profit of 35 million.

35 million is a lot, but compared to the super high box office of the movie, it is nothing, and even the distribution fee is twice as much.

If everything goes well, you can really get a 10-point box office share, plus the salary and the studio's income, a film can earn 100 million!

Although it is difficult for Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou to get 10 points, even if there are only 5 points, it is an extra income of 30 or 40 million!

And after the success of the third part, he can even get a part of the copyright, so he doesn't have to be so passive.

He was right, but Liu Ruishu then asked a more important question.

"What if you hand in the script and Tang Dong finds another director to shoot it. ”

Xu Zheng's eyes froze, just an actor is not qualified to share, and actors of the level of Li Lianjie and Cheng Long are only paid to buy shares.

Liu Ruishu's expression became serious, "Although Tang Dong doesn't look like a ruthless person, it won't be so easy for you to grasp, the copyright is in his hands, once you change the director, or even change your protagonist, then this project has nothing to do with you at all." ”

Xu Zheng frowned, this was a problem he had been subconsciously ignoring, although it was unlikely.

But if Tang An is angry and really does this, it will be troublesome, this is a series of roosters that lay eggs!

The embarrassing series is already popular, and without him, it will definitely have an impact, but with the first two films, the box office will not be too ugly.

Not to mention seven or eight billion, at least two or three hundred million.

When Xu Zheng was distressed, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

"It's Secretary Tang Dong's landline. ”

He glanced at Liu Ruishu before answering the phone.

"Hey, Secretary Zhou. ”

...

"Okay, I'll go over now. ”

"Tang Dong invited me to go. Xu Zheng hung up the phone and said to Liu Ruishu.

"What's the matter, is it a sequel?" asked Liu Ruishu.

Xu Zheng shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"I'll go first. ”

......

40 minutes later, Xu Zheng rushed to Hantang Media and was led by Zhou Li into the chairman's office.

"Chairman, Director Xu is here. ”

Tang An was looking at the documents on the table, and when he heard this, he asked Xu Zheng to sit down, and asked Zhou Li to pour two cups of tea in.

"Director Xu's "Modern Times" is about to start, is it still being released during the Spring Festival?" asked Tang An with a smile.

Xu Zheng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "It will be officially launched in another week, and the specific release date depends on the arrangement of Zhuying Group." ”

"Comedies are still suitable for Chinese New Year and Spring Festival releases, but the competition for Chinese New Year stalls is also large, and the Spring Festival stalls are still more suitable. ”

Tang An said as he pulled out a check from the bottom of the document and handed it over with a smile.

""Thai Embarrassment" got a box office of 700 million, Director Xu, you are indispensable, this is a little dividend, not much money, take it. ”

Xu Zheng was slightly stunned, and then took the check with both hands.

8.5 million?

Xu Zheng quickly calculated an account in his heart, the box office profit of "Thai Embarrassment" is 170 million, that is, 5% of the profit share.

Originally, the contract didn't indicate that the share was to be paid.,That's the meaning of the bonus.。。

Xu Zheng couldn't understand for a while whether Tang An was buying people's hearts or simply giving bonuses.

Tang An then said, "This money studio still has to take 20%, it's business." ”

This is not that Tang An is stingy, Xu Zheng's income from participating in the movie, whether it is remuneration or dividends, is in the share in the brokerage contract.

However, he and Liu Ruishu also have 40% of the shares in the studio, and half of them are still back to them.

Rules are rules, business is still business, this can't be messed up, just like Tang An didn't give him a bonus because of what happened before, this is business, he deserves it, there is no betrayal of this matter, otherwise he himself betrayed Huayi?

Tang An didn't say anything else next, Xu Zheng took the check and went out.

Until he walked out of the New Poly Building, Xu Zheng still didn't figure it out.

If he didn't pick up other companies' films, would this dividend be given to him.

Or is it that Tang An is originally generous, this is a simple bonus, and there is no other meaning.

If it's really just a bonus, then why would you give it to yourself?

Xu Zheng shook his head and didn't think much about it, the matter has come to this point, just shoot "Modern Age" first, and nothing will be a problem at that time.

......

Tang An's office, Xu Zheng didn't leave for long, and Chen Guozhang knocked on the door and came in.

"Chairman, Director Xu took on other movies, what about the sequel to the embarrassing series?"

After the meeting just now, Tang An asked Zhou Li to ask Xu Zhenghe to prepare a check, but he didn't hide it, and he knew that it was a bonus for Xu Zheng.

Now the group still owes a large amount of debt, and the future of "Painted Skin 2" and "Edge of Tomorrow" is unknown, which is exactly the need for the embarrassing series, a low-risk and high-profit project.

But Xu Zheng's filming and the publicity of the release, if it is released during the Spring Festival, it will have to wait until this time next year to launch the third part.

And when the time comes, Xu Zheng will definitely put forward higher conditions!

As the president of the group, Chen Guozhang must take this into account and how to deal with it.
