"Of course you can participate in investment!"

“… No, I mean I invest in the production alone, and the company helps with the distribution..."

Zhang Junsheng paused, not knowing what to say...

"Brother Xing, it's very unkind to do this!"

Your whole person was picked up by Yuehua, and now you want to dump Yuehua and go it alone

Standing in Zhang Junsheng's position, he knows that Zhou Xing is a very wealthy director and actor, and of course such a talent must stay in Yuehua!

However, if people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!

The movie "Changing Xingjun" is just the box office, Yuehua made a profit of more than 150 million, but as the main participant, Zhou Xing only took 20 million...

He... It's a little uncomfortable...

However, when the personal studio was established, the contract stipulated that Yuehua had the right of first refusal to invest!

"From participating in investment to sole proprietorship, Brother Xing, you can't go far in the circle if you are too greedy!" Zhang Junsheng added earnestly: "And how do you guarantee that the next drama can be a big seller, what if you lose money?"

"I know, but I..."

Halfway through the words, Zhou Xing shut up...

There's something going on here!

Sighing, Zhang Junsheng asked, "What are you going to shoot in the next drama?"

Zhou Xing directly made his words clear: "... Fuji Xun said that no matter what I shoot in the next film, they will invest, and give me a salary of 20 million for the director + actor, and by the way, there will be a 10% box office dividend!"

“… 20 million salary plus 10% dividends No matter what they shoot, they will invest"

Zhang Junsheng was surprised, did Fuji Xun want to pull Zhou Xing to stand in line

A Dongyang media is not enough for you to play

Wrong... This is to coax the salary!

Zhou Xing is 20 million, so other actors of the same level as him, for example, Wang Bo also has 20 million!

Otherwise, when people compare the salary, they will directly say that Wang Bo's card position is not as good as Zhou Xing.

Hu Ge, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Chen Kun and others also have a salary of at least 15 million...

As a result, production costs will definitely go up!

Some small studios must have to finish playing...

No, this situation must be curbed, Zhang Junsheng thought about it and persuaded him: "I think we should read the book and take medicine, for directors, money is important, but it is more important to work with a good team!"

"That's it, you prepare the script first, let's take a look at the book first, and then discuss the investment!"

If the book is good enough, Zhang Junsheng will definitely not give it to Fuji Xun.

This also reminded him that with the influx of hot money into the market, friendship is far less than the actual benefits, and Yuehua needs to be cleaned up!

……

It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and on the balcony, three cameras were set up separately, facing the middle.

Zhang Junsheng sat in a chair with his legs crossed, and opposite sat Zhang Jie, the editor-in-chief of People.

The son of the plane is making trouble in the United States, there must be an explanation, otherwise, the mainland audience will really regard him as saving the American economy...

"I heard that you spent $1.2 billion in the United States last month, can you tell us more about that?"

“… Buy the network copyright of TV and movies, I have a software in the United States that burns after reading, and there are already 40 million registered users, so how can I leave this group of users, online videos!"

"That's... They say you're a spoiler in the American drama industry, what does that mean?"

"Haha!" Zhang Junsheng laughed and said seriously, "I just shoot American dramas according to the creation model of Chinese TV dramas, where is the disturbance?"

"How to say"

"Traditional American dramas are filmed and broadcast at the same time, I started filming five American dramas at one time, and then launched them at the same time!"

This is very similar to domestic dramas, they are all filmed and sold to TV stations, Zhang Junsheng is more direct, and directly gives money for them to shoot!

"However, many people say that the production model of domestic TV dramas is very backward... Why would you do this?"

Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "The TV series and film industry is different from the general industry, focusing on content is king, good film and television dramas, no matter how they are produced, it is good!"

Zhang Jie thought for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "... But to do so is tantamount to a gamble..."

Once it fails, it is equivalent to hundreds of millions of investments in vain...

It's like "Winning the World", which cost 500 million, and then it was banned...

Zhang Junsheng nodded: "Yes! Actually, the traditional American drama production model is also a bet on the ratings, before the official start of filming, they will produce a pilot episode, and they will only buy one or two seasons when the ratings of the pilot episode reach the standard, relatively speaking, the model of burning after reading just makes this gamble bigger!"

After taking a sip of water, Zhang Jie then asked: "... Why do you have to be a video site?"

“… Because if you want to open up the media industry chain, video websites are an indispensable part, in China, private people are not allowed to buy TV stations, and the United States does not allow foreigners to buy TV stations, so I can only think of another way, as long as the video website is operated properly, the influence will not be weaker than that of TV stations!"

"A lot of people wonder where you got all that cash..."

"Oh, I have a few investments in the United States, the majority of which are shares of Facebook and Uber, both of which are not publicly listed, but the valuation is very high, and I sold some shares of Facebook for about $3 billion in cash, and if I want to bring this money back home, I will have to pay at least half of the tax, which is not cost-effective!

"In fact, in addition to the investment in content, I also bought 1,700 retail stores from Blockbuster and transformed them into the surrounding stores of the peak, and many dolls from "Kung Fu Panda", "My Master Jiang Ziya" and "Kuiba" appeared in it..."

"How's the benefit?"

“… It's okay, the spinning top toy in "Inception" sold 3.2 million pieces in two months!"

“… That's what it costs for."

"The price of commemorative spinners in stores and online channels ranges from $80 to $130, and about $10 for regular models..."

Zhang Jie couldn't help but swallow his saliva...

"In Hollywood, the income from selling commercial movie derivatives can reach nearly 70% of the total revenue of the film, which is much higher than the box office itself. When Inception was still in production, we had already developed a lot of the same merchandise..."

After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "Unfortunately, in China, there is no concept in this regard, although we have authorized two processing factories to produce the same spinning top, but pirated copies are sold more..."

"The price is too high"

“… It's not high at all, the price of 8 yuan... We cooperated with the theater chain and sold almost 200,000 pieces, but the imitations sold even more, just on Taobao, more than 8 million pieces were sold!"

This is normal, any market is constantly improving, and the original North American market has also gone through the same stage.

Zhang Jie finally asked a question: "Why do you have to build a media industry chain?"

"In order not to be acquired!"

“… No, who will buy you"

“… MGM and United America Films, which were the eight major universities, also thought so!"
