Chapter 97: What are you going to do?

"Okay, is there anything I need to pay attention to, Mr. Hu?" Qian Yue hesitated, but still didn't speak, but asked directly.

In fact, you can't talk about the salary together, after all, they are all big names, and they are also divided into starring and sub-starring roles, you can't always have the same salary, right?

"No, just don't interrupt me during the negotiation. Hu Fei said very simply.

Qian Yue felt a little helpless in her heart, you are a big boss, if you don't say it, I won't dare to interrupt you.

The time is all agreed, these first-line stars are already very busy, and everyone's time is very tight, so naturally no one will have any opinions when they talk in the afternoon.

"Besides, have I found the screenwriter you were looking for?" Hu Fei asked directly.

"I've found it, there are a total of fifteen screenwriters, all of whom are famous screenwriters in the circle, including the author, who have begun to start creating in place. Qian Yue nodded immediately.

The reason why the efficiency is so high is naturally because of the high money given by Hu Fei, although the position of screenwriter is important, but in the whole process of film and television production at home and abroad, it is not much valued, and Hu Fei's remuneration is high enough, and these screenwriters are naturally in place as soon as possible.

In Mingzhu City, in Hu Fei's own community, someone is responsible for eating, drinking, and Lazar all day long, and the place where they work during the day is in the property office building of the community, of course, although it is said to be a property office building, but that is from the outside world, in fact, it is also Hu Fei's.

"Good. Hu Fei nodded, because it is impossible for the movie to really be filmed according to the original book, it can only be done in the case of following the original book as much as possible, and then adapting the plot, but Hu Fei will try his best to shoot according to the original book. In fact, every movie script, even if it is an adaptation, is a re-creation.

After explaining, Hu Fei directly asked Qian Yue to invite Director Zhai Hongyu, and the rest is the most important thing, after getting the director and these leading actors, the rest of the things will be simple.

Twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door outside, Yang Yiqing immediately walked over and opened the door, and Hu Fei also stood up from the sofa.

Two middle-aged men soon walked in outside the door, the one walking in front of him was wearing a pair of glasses, relatively thin, but taller, about the same as Hu Fei, about 1.85 meters, and most importantly, his iconic, gray hair, almost never dyed.

"Hello, is this Mr. Hu? My name is Wang Peng, and I am Director Zhai's agent, and this is Director Zhai Hongyu. "The first person to introduce himself is Zhai Hongyu's agent.

"It's me, good both. Hu Fei smiled and stretched out his hand to shake their hands, and then both of them sat down on the sofa.

"Mr. Hu, hello, since you came to me to make a movie, and it's a science fiction movie, especially a science fiction film like Infinite Horror, which can be said to be a fantasy science fiction film, the remuneration is easy to say, I just want to ask in advance, in terms of copyright, are you sure there is no problem?" After Zhai Hongyu sat down, he spoke directly, which also attached to his character, what to say, it was relatively straight.

Hu Fei smiled, then nodded and said: "There are a total of thirteen different movies, of course, some of them are series movies, I am ready to buy the copyright for a total of 300 million US dollars, does Director Zhai think it is enough?"

"Uh......" Hu Fei said a word, and the two of them choked up for an instant speech, is 300 million US dollars enough? Of course it is enough! And it definitely can't cost as much as 300 million.

"If copyright is fine, I am fine. Zhai Hongyu also said simply, directly.

"Then, Mr. Hu, let's talk about the issue of remuneration, what Director Zhai is good at, Mr. Hu, you should be very clear. Wang Peng took over Zhai Hongyu's topic and said directly.

"Well, that's why I found Director Zhai to come and direct my movie. Hu Fei smiled and nodded. Zhai Hongyu is the only director in China who has experience directing Hollywood blockbusters, what he is good at is commercial films, and he has not won any awards such as best director, but the commercial films he shoots are not low at the box office.

As for some other directors, Director Zhang, Director Feng told the truth, Hu Fei couldn't look down on it, and some directors honestly filmed some things that others couldn't understand, and they boasted that they had connotations, but they blamed the audience.

Therefore, Hu Fei should find some more reliable directors of commercial films to shoot, at the very least, the films made by others look refreshing whether it is the scene or others, and this is enough.

"Then Mr. Hu, you should know that Director Zhai's remuneration now is not only a matter of salary, but also a box office share. Wang Peng immediately said that although the remuneration sent by Hu Fei and them was very tempting, it did not share the box office.

Zhai Hongyu's current domestic director's salary is about 40 million, plus almost 5% to 10% of the box office share. Of course, this price also depends on the person, but Hu Fei has nothing to do with others, and naturally it is impossible to get a discount, of course, Hu Fei didn't think about a discount.

"What do you think of this sharing ratio?" Hu Fei smiled slightly, he didn't say that the movie was not ready to be released at all, but asked directly.

"Mr. Hu, your film investment is relatively large, and you have purchased so many copyrights, I think Mr. Hu, you must be to ensure that the film can be successful, in this case, then, Mr. Hu, there are really not many directors of commercial films in China who can grasp such a large investment, unless you ask from Hollywood, but Hollywood's well-known first-line directors start with tens of millions of dollars plus shares. Wang Peng immediately spoke.

"So, I think it's a reasonable figure to set the percentage at 10%. Wang Peng finally said a number.

"Yes. Hu Fei nodded.

"Uh......" Wang Peng wanted to say something, but he reacted and Hu Fei agreed directly.

"That'...... Is it 40 million plus 10% of the global box office share?" Wang Peng immediately asked a figure tentatively.

"I can accept that. Hu Fei smiled slightly, and then continued: "So, let me ask another question, how much do you think the box office of this movie adapted from the novel, Director Zhai, or Wang Economy?"

Wang Peng and Zhai Hongyu glanced at each other, and the two of them didn't quite understand what Hu Fei meant by asking, but Zhai Hongyu was a very serious person, he immediately lowered his head and pondered, and after a long time he spoke: "If its script can maintain enough suspense like the novel, and the scene is hot enough, and there are copyrights for all movies, I am confident that it will reach 2 billion at the domestic box office, but I don't dare to guarantee the North American box office." ”

"Of course, according to Mr. Hu's investment, 2 billion will definitely not be able to recover the investment, after all, the copyright cost alone is not only this number, but considering that this is a series of films, I can sign a contract for three films without increasing the remuneration under the same conditions. Zhai Hongyu raised his head and said.
