Chapter Seventy-Five: The Third Master
In fact, Lin Fan imagined the scene of meeting Han Sanping, and also thought about Han Sanping's appearance, but in fact he was a little disappointed. Han Sanping is as plain as his name suggests, this is a native SC guy.
But it was he and Feng Xiaogang who teamed up to create the concept of the Chinese New Year file, and it was he who led the Chinese film from less than one billion to 20 billion at the national film box office, and it was he who made the two authoritative awards of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers bigger! He became a legend in the Chinese film industry, which is why the name of the third master will resound throughout the film circle.
"Third Master, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
When Li Ke heard this, he immediately introduced on the side, "Third Master, this is the Lin Fan I mentioned to you. He pointed to Ning Hao on the side, "This is director Ning Hao." ”
"I've watched your movie, and it's not bad. Han Sanping said plainly, but the three of them were all happy.
To be honest, Lin Fan is really grateful to Li Ke, this product is simply his own lucky star, there is nothing he can't do, just asked him to ask someone to deliver a message to Han Sanping, who knew that Taihe Maitian happened to cooperate with Huaying because of the movie soundtrack, so there was this scene in front of him.
"The Sichuan cuisine here is good, try it for the third master?"
Han Sanping smiled dumbly, "Do you know I'm from SC?"
"Third master, don't care, this is Mr. Lin's usual routine, and he also invited me to eat SX dishes. Ning Hao smiled, "Pity me, a person who is dozens of years old is also eaten to death." ”
"It's all heart, heart. Lin Fan smiled a little embarrassedly.
"I like Kobayashi's statement, heart, people with heart can do things well. Han Sanping had his own aura, and Lin Fan nodded yes.
Han Sanping couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Fan's appearance, "Xiaolin, you don't have to be restrained, Mr. Li introduced you to me, you started from scratch when you were young, but you have more ability than me." ”
"Elders have to listen to what they say. Lin Fan smiled slightly, that is, he held his own identity, and showed humility, and he handled it very well, Han Sanping nodded, and then his face turned straight, "Xiaolin, I don't know how you want to operate this movie, ready to join the New Year?"
Lin Fan suddenly smiled bitterly, "Third Master, don't make fun of me, don't you know the situation of this year's New Year?"
05 The New Year file is indeed very lively, starting in December, directors from the mainland of Hong Kong began to take turns, Chen Kexin's If Love, Chen Yige's Wuji, Liu Zhenwei's Love Crazy Sage, Lao Mouzi's Thousand Miles Riding Alone, and when King Kong was released in January, the Chinese New Year file is simply not too lively.
"So little confidence in yourself?"
"I just don't want to push out the money that I could have made. ”
Han Sanping turned his head to look at Ning Hao, "Director Ning, what do you think?"
Ning Hao is very steady, "I have the same concept as Mr. Lin, although I am very confident in my movies, it is always good to avoid the edge for the time being." ”
"Okay, next question, why do you want me to issue it?" Han Sanping's eyes lit up.
Huaying is a state-owned enterprise and the largest film company in China, and your status in the rivers and lakes is here, and you have a deep relationship with the theater chain, but how can you say this?
Lin Fan pondered for a moment, "In 1994, since you were transferred to the director of Yanjing Film Studio, you have been known for actively supporting and encouraging young people to engage in creation, and you have organized, created and produced more than 100 films in just a few years. Naturally, you're the first thing that comes to mind for us newcomers. ”
Han Sanping was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You're playing tricks, but you're doing your homework well." ”
"But since you say that I love to bring younger generations, I don't go around in circles with you, I like a pragmatic young man like you very much, I'm used to seeing new investors blowing their works to the sky, it's rare that investors and directors who are newcomers can be so sober. Han Sanping knocked on the table, "Then I'll tell you about the charter of the movie." ”
"Third master, you say, let's listen. ”
Han Sanping took a sip of wine, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, "I've seen Crazy Stone, the comedy effect is very good, especially the character of the multi-line narrative is refreshing, different from Feng Xiaogang's black humor that wins with Beijing-style lines, and different from Zhang Yimou's excessive pursuit of art, it seems that the two take what they need and integrate some things, and the director's skills are very deep, but I don't know if the audience will buy it." ”
"Third Master, your ability to comment like this is the greatest affirmation of me. Ning Hao said gratefully on the side.
Han Sanping waved his hand, "I just have something to say, now let's talk about the release of the film, there is no regulation on distribution and theatrical distribution in China, and according to the past practice, the producer can get a 40% share." ”
Lin Fan was surprised, this was simply beyond his expectations, he thought that he would get at least sixty percent as an investor, and fifty percent no matter how bad it was, but he didn't expect that there would be so little, and the theater chain could get so much money without doing anything?
"Xiao Lin is not satisfied with this result, or does he think that I am cheating on you?"
"The third master laughed, you have always done things fairly and justly. ”
Han Sanping smiled, obviously not caring about Lin Fan's explanation, "Xiaolin, you are a newcomer, I might as well tell you about it, and it can be regarded as a reminder for you, the film industry is not easy to enter, directors can make money, stars can make money, theaters can make money, but producers and investors are not necessarily." ”
"As the terminal of the film industry, the cinema chain has occupied a dominant position from the beginning, if we want to make a profit, we must be released in the cinema, the strength of the cinema chain has been doomed from the very beginning of the guarantee system, think about the beginning, whether our box office is profitable or losing, we have to give the cinema money, today is much better. ”
Through Han Sanping's words, Lin Fan vaguely remembered that in 2011, Zhang Weiping, as an investor, single-handedly picked up the eight major film companies, seemingly in order to increase the share ratio by 2%. Although the proportion of domestic film accounts has increased significantly, from the earliest 30 percent to the current 40 percent, with the increase in production costs, even if the proportion continues to grow, investors often will still lose.
The share ratio given by Han Sanping is already very fair, at present, only some commercial blockbusters in China can get more than 40% of the share ratio, and 40% is already the highest standard that ordinary movies can get.
"Xiaolin, I've finished speaking, it's up to you how you decide. ”
"I naturally believe in the third master, so I'll leave it to the third master to operate, and it will be released after February. ”
"It's decided?" Han Sanping looked at Lin Fan with some amusement, how could he not see Lin Fan's distress, but this was the reality, and he couldn't change it.
"It's decided!"
Lin Fan secretly swore in his heart that when he had money, he must buy land to build a theater, and it would not be too wonderful to sit on the ground and collect money!
