Chapter 550: Creating a Sci-Fi Blockbuster
Lin Han's idea is very wonderful, he doesn't need to take out the money for writing novels by himself, just by virtue of the dividends of these two movies, he can make up an investment in a sci-fi blockbuster, no wonder there are so many people who want to enter the film industry, this earning power is beyond imagination!
It takes a long time for a movie to get dividends from the theater to the dividends, so "The Martian" is obviously a movie in December last year, but now it's just figuring out the book dividends, and if you want to get the money, you have to wait. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The money for "The Martian" has not been paid yet, let alone "Immortality", this film directed by Lin Han himself has won 570 million yuan at the box office in China!
Galaxy Film Production Company is an investor in "Immortality", and there is no dividend for anyone except the distributor, which means that the company can get one-third of the box office, that is, 190 million yuan!
What's more, now the English version of "Immortality" is still being released in the North American market, thanks to the explosion of "Jurassic Park", this movie with the same origin as it has also been stained with a little light, and the box office has risen slightly.
But the congenital defects are too big, "Immortality" was released in North America for a few weeks, and the total box office was less than 10 million US dollars, so Lin Han didn't expect too much overseas box office dividends!
Although the funds are not yet in place, Lin Han is not in urgent need of it now, after all, the project has not yet started preparation, and when the film starts shooting, it will definitely be a few months later, so he will not worry about investment at that time.
Lin Han is quite sure that the movies he shoots can make money, so he is not ready to let others get involved.
If other capital comes in, not only will your income be reduced, but also your right to speak will be shackled, and the advantage of being your own boss is that no one can command you, you don't have to be restrained everywhere, and you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to the filming of the movie!
"What kind of movie do you want to make, and you need so much investment?" Chen Jiaxuan gasped, she was frightened by Lin Han's generosity.
The after-tax dividends of the two films are more than 200 million yuan, and even "The Martian" does not have such a strong investment.
Lin Han spread his hands and said: "I want to shoot a real sci-fi blockbuster, and our company also needs to use such a movie to justify itself or something." ”
Chen Jiaxuan took a deep breath, and she said with a straight face: "Honey, it's not that I don't believe you. I just think such a move is too risky and radical. You are indeed a good director and a good screenwriter, but you put so much money into the filming of the movie! ”
"I know I'm a little crazy, but I have an even crazier idea in my head waiting to be realized." Lin Han knows very well what is the difference between a movie with an investment cost of hundreds of millions and a movie with an investment of 100,000 yuan, which is equivalent to one step to the sky, and it is easy to get the egg if you are not careful.
According to ordinary people's ideas, he probably needs to shoot another medium-budget movie to test the waters, test his ability to control the crew, and also give himself time for this new movie to breathe and grow!
Now if Galaxy Film Production Company really takes so much investment, Lin Han's new film will not be able to be filmed as quickly as "Immortal", complete filming and release, it may drag on for months in preparation, then a few months of shooting, and finally spend more than half a year doing post-production, and finally when the movie is released and gets dividends, it may be two years later.
In the past two years, the company basically has no income, and if the box office of the movie hits the street again, the whole company will lose money and go bankrupt!
However, Lin Han believes that the quality of the movies he shoots will not be bad, and he can't say how much profit he is guaranteed to make, but at least he won't lose money.
If he doesn't have this ability, then he must shoot honestly and make movies step by step.
But now that he has the whole earth of science fiction movies in his mind, if he is still such a waste of time, Lin Han can't wait to see the movie appear!
What's more, risks coexist with benefits, and new movies do have greater risks, but as long as they are successful, then they can achieve extraordinary benefits.
"I don't know how to convince you right now, but it's not like filming is going to start right away, so I'll have to give you the script and feasibility analysis. When the time comes, we'll talk about it more carefully, and now it's just a matter of saying this! ”
Lin Han knew that his ideas would shock them, and if he had to go his own way, it would be easy to hurt these people who worked hard for the development of the company.
Chen Jiaxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, she felt that Lin Han should give up this crazy idea after a few days of calming down, so she simply changed the topic and said, "Then we will wait for your simple idea and feasibility analysis." In fact, there's one last thing for you to look at, and we can't make a decision. ”
"Tell me about it."
"This is about "Immortality", since we have good box office performance at home and abroad, is it not to consider making up the salary or dividends for the actors of the movie." This is Chen Jiaxuan's own idea, she continued: "Xu Jiayan and those professors all starred in movies for the sake of your face, and now the movie has made so much money, if it passes like this, it always feels unlikely!" ”
Lin Han patted his head, and he suddenly realized and said, "Yes, yes, this has to be made up." At the beginning, the cost was low to ask them for help, and now they have their credit for making money, and they can't forget their roots! ”
The corners of Chen Jiaxuan's mouth opened, she knew that Lin Han was not the kind of ungrateful person, the salary he should have must be less, and his brothers had to settle accounts, not to mention between friends.
"And how much do you think we should give?" Chen Jiaxuan threw the question back to Lin Han, which is indeed worth thinking about.
"Xu Jiayan took tens of millions of dividends in "The Martian", and I participated in the show with friendship, and it shouldn't be too high to give him a salary of 5 million yuan, and I even wronged him. As for those professors, how about a million salaries each? There are only three crew members in the crew, such as the gaffer and cameraman, who are 500,000 yuan, adding up to almost 10 million yuan. ”
This movie earned nearly 200 million, and it is not a big deal to take out one-twentieth of it to make up the salary, and Lin Han is not such a stingy person.
Chen Jiaxuan did not object, the price is fair, but I don't know if the professors can accept such a high salary!
"After all, we have a short shooting time and the intensity of work is not high, so it's okay to give this level. The other two movies are big hits, don't forget our company's employees, we also have to pay bonuses this quarter. She began to help employees fight for welfare, and there is hope for rewards, isn't this what employees like the most?
"Remember, I'll send it as soon as the money arrives. Now that the money has not arrived, the use has been arranged, and it is really dividing the spoils! ”
Chen Jiaxuan stood up, she was about to go back and put these things down, but when she walked out of the office, she suddenly remembered something, turned her head and asked: "If you want to make a sci-fi blockbuster, do you already have a plan in your mind, have you figured out what to call it?" ”
Lin Han clapped his hands and replied, "The Matrix! ”
