"Justin, are you thinking about buying a car, I'm planning to change it recently. ”

Wen Ziren closed the car door, he didn't want to get paid before he helped Chen Tian shoot and buried alive, all because he promised to help.

Even if he was buried alive and the box office soared after it was released in the United States, he didn't think that Chen Tian should give him some.

Lionsgate advanced 5 million first, while Chen Tian received another 7 million from RIM and Zippo each.

plus some of the remaining at the beginning, Chen Tian got almost 20 million.

Although Chen Tian was not so generous as to directly wave a few million dollars to Wen Ziren, he was not stingy, he gave Wen Ziren $1 million, and then Scarlett $2 million.

That's not at all comparable to the $48 million Lions needed to pay him in total, but it's not too little.

Chen Tian is not naΓ―ve enough to think that feelings can surpass everything, and in his opinion, being able to surpass everything is also based on a certain foundation.

If it is always himself who enjoys the fruits of the battle, then how can Wen Ziren not have any idea at all.

It would be too late to wait until that day to take remedial measures, so on the basis of helping Wen Ziren shoot the script, Chen Tian may promise that the cooperation between the two from the beginning of "Super Burger King" will not only give him the remuneration he deserves, but also give a certain percentage of the share.

"I'll talk about it when I have time, but let's put it down for now. Chen Tian said with a smile, and the Lionsgate building in the distance was already visible.

When Chen Tian walked into the hall, the person in charge of the front desk was Daphne Ivey, whom he was more familiar with.

"Justin, welcome to Lionsgate, do you need me to let you know?" Daphne Ivey asked with a smile.

"I made an appointment with Tom and them, and I went directly to him, so it wouldn't be a bother. ”

"OK!" Daphne Ivey smiled and nodded.

"Please come in!"

Hearing the sound in the office, Chen Tian pushed the door and walked in.

"Justin, you're finally here, I'm already about to call you, you don't know how uncomfortable it feels like to wait. ”

Tom Thornberg saw Chen Tian walk in, and immediately stood up and said with a smile.

Although Lionsgate paid Chen Tian more than half of the box office revenue buried alive, he was still able to get almost 30 million by burying it alive, not counting the upcoming DVD, Blu-ray and TV on demand fees.

In this way, burying alive has also become Lionsgate's most profitable film of the whole year this year.

The incident of the nationwide condemnation of the sunshine little beauty that broke out some time ago made them feel a little guarded and worried, but in addition to the worry, they still looked forward to Chen Tian, of course, all of this is based on the excellent quality of the film.

Chen Tian replied with a smile on his face: "Mr. Tom Thornberg, I don't even know how to express my feelings when you say it. ”

"Justin, you always call me Tom or Thornberg so politely, it seems too strange to call me sir, do we still need to be so different in our relationship?" Tom Thornberg's smile looked extremely enthusiastic.

Tom Thornberg pointed to Wen Ziren beside Chen Tian: "Presumably this is the powerful James Wen that Justin often mentions?

"I should give you a candy reward. ”

"I love this reward. Tom Thornberg walked up, "James Win, welcome to Lionsgate." ”

"Oh, thank you. Wen Ziren shook hands with Tom Thornberg.

"Listen to Justin, you're very good at thriller horror films, which is very similar to what we value at Lionsgate, and if there's still a chance to work together, I hope James will think more about us. ”

Wen Ziren also didn't know that Tom Thornberg was telling the truth: "I will seriously consider this opportunity." ”

"Justin, only brought Super Burger King this time?" Tom Thornberg looked at Chen Tian, "Isn't "Little Sunshine Beauty" okay yet?"

"How can it be so fast, it is estimated that it will take a while to produce the post-production. ”

"That's fine, two surprises are acceptable, I've already told Jon and Michael, let's go straight to the screening room?"

The box office record for a North American documentary is $21.6 million held by Michael Moore for his 2002 film "Bowling in Columbine" about the Oklahoma bombings and the Columbine High School massacre.

Even if this "Super Burger King" can set a new record, he doesn't feel that it can be much higher.

It is destined to be incomparable to being buried alive, so it was a little disappointing to hear that there was no sunshine for Tom Thornberg.

Chen Tian could see the disappointment flashing on Don Thornberg's face: "OK, go now." ”

The singing of a group of children sitting on the grass kicks off the film, and soon the camera stops on McDonald's "Take care of your customers, business will be better!"

Soon the camera cuts to the fluttering Stars and Stripes, and a man's voice comes out along with the letters.

Accompanied by the commentary of "people are also big", when the camera stops on the back of an obese person.

Tom Thornberg, who was next to Chen Tian, subconsciously looked at his bulging belly, and he basically guessed that this documentary was about obesity.

Chen Tian has long seen Wen Ziren's Super Burger King, and the original film in later generations was written and starred by director Morgan himself.

A considerable part of the footage of this documentary comes from interviews with various people and the display of animation effects, and there is not much time for real actors to show it.

It doesn't seem like a lot of demand for actors, but a full thirty days of life in a hamburger is by no means affordable for ordinary people.

And it was necessary to choose a person who was absolutely healthy, but many people refused Wen Ziren's invitation under the condition that he could only eat hamburgers for thirty consecutive days.

At one point, Wen Ziren wanted to go up and shoot by himself, but this idea was rejected by Chen Tian.

In order to maximize the benefits of this documentary, the first thing that is needed is the sense of identity of the people.

Even if it is an indisputable fact that most Americans are obese, Wen Ziren, a yellow person, to act in this film obviously lacks their recognition.

In the end, Chen Tian directly raised the starring salary to 80,000 US dollars, and recruited a volunteer who was very satisfied in all aspects.

Looking at the young and strong white handsome guy on the big screen, Chen Tian was very satisfied.

The combination of music and picture, sound, and the use of lenses are all handled very well, and when he watched this film, Chen Tian felt that as long as he had the opportunity, it would not be worse than the original film in later generations.

At this moment, the managers of Lionsgate's distribution, film purchase, and production departments on the side watched the film seriously, and the documentary exceeded their expectations.

Super Burger King gives them the feeling that everything said in it is true, and authenticity is what documentaries need to reflect the most, and if they can't show truth, they can't move the audience.

The camera cuts were well handled, and with just the right amount of animation and research data, as well as small shots that made people smile from time to time, Tom Thornberg decided to win the distribution rights of the documentary.

When the film ended, the lights in the screening room came back on.

"Justin, this is a great documentary, it's definitely going to win an award, it's a great shot.

James, I'm impressed with your talent, it's going to be a great documentary, but McDonald's is definitely going to feel a lot of pressure because of it. ”

Publishing Manager Jon Philtimmel and Production Manager Michael Parsenek nodded at the same time, expressing their satisfaction with Super Burger King.

"That's what we want. ”

"Justin, James, this is a documentary box office revenue will definitely not be done, if it comes according to the agreement to be buried alive......" Tom Thornberg did not continue.

Chen Tian nodded: "It is definitely not suitable to be buried alive, but we don't accept a one-time buyout and still want to share." ”

"How do you divide it?" Tom Thornberg never thought that Chen Tian would buy out.

"Ten percent of the global box office. ”

"Ten percent?" said Tom Thornberg, incredulous.
