Tom Oldenberg and the three of them talked briefly for a while, then turned around and walked back, looking at the expressions on the faces of the three people, Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like you already know what we're going to say. Tom Oldenberg said with a smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, I have a film that touches you. ”

Tom Odenberg looked at Chen Tian and asked, "If we want to release this film and buy out all the rights, how much will it cost?"

Although he had already made up his mind in his heart, when this moment came, Chen Tian couldn't help but beat faster, and he even felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

took a long breath and forced himself to calm down, he had already thought about this possibility before he came, and Lionsgate came up with a high price of 4 million in the future, and now it is only 2003 The seven-year time difference can change a lot of things, but Chen Tian believes that an excellent movie can cross the boundaries of time.

Therefore, the lowest price set by Chen Tian for himself was 3 million, but after seeing the film just after it was played, the three managers who were accustomed to seeing countless excellent films were shocked, and Chen Tian was more confident in his heart.

The global box office in later generations was almost 20 million US dollars, but Chen Tian did not know how much, and he did not know the specific release of Lu Dao in North America.

In fact, the film grossed just over $1 million in the United States, and the rest of the box office came from overseas.

The country with the highest overseas box office was Spain with $3 million, followed by Italy, France, Mexico and Australia.

Of course, the low box office in the United States is not because of bad results, but because the scale of the release is too small, and there were only 11 theaters on the first day of the North American test screening.

At most, there were only 103 theaters at the time of screening, so how could such a scale of the release get a high box office.

"Justin, how much do you think is appropriate?" asked Tom Oldenberg again.

The three of them all thought that this film was very good, and they didn't want this film to fall into the hands of others, seeing Chen Tian thinking about it, they thought that Chen Tian had other ideas.

"I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, what do you think is the right price for this film?" asked Tom Oldenberg again.

And Tom Odenberg's attitude made Chen Tian feel more confident, since the other party wanted to buy it, he would take the initiative, and now his only consideration was to sell it at one time or share it.

According to the scale of the release in later generations, selling 4 million has already been earned.

And now if a film company wants to release an independent film, most of the way to buy the film is to buy out all the copyrights directly at one time, whether it is a profit or a loss in the future, it has nothing to do with you.

If he can sell it at a price of 4 million, Chen Tian will give up his plan to share.

"How much are you willing to pay if you buy out?"

Tom Odenberg didn't expect Chen Tian to kick this question to him at all, he wanted to see something from Chen Tian's expression, but he couldn't see anything.

This made him feel a little uneasy, and even wondered if he had been approached by other companies, and the other party had already given a price.

"Honestly, if this film were to be put on the St. Denis Film Festival, I don't think it would be less than $2 million. Tom Oldenberg groaned, "But Justin, you also know that time is long past now, and there is no St. Denis Film Festival......"

The meaning of Tom Oldenberg's words is self-evident, they want to lower the price, and this price will not be higher than 2 million.

Chen Tian laughed: "Mr. Tom Oldenberg, yes, it's past the St. Denis Film Festival now, but do you think this film will be worth the price? Or do you have no confidence in your publicity and distribution?" ”

"$2 million, how about that? That's a good price, I can't give it to you. ”

Tom Odenberg was like he had made a big decision.

"Is that all there is to it?"

"Sorry, this is the highest price I can give, and it represents the sincerity of our Lionsgate. Tom Oldenberg spread his hands with an apologetic look on his face.

"Because the three of us are optimistic about it, we are willing to release so much, to be honest, this film is still flawed, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has a fixed group, and it is not suitable for everyone to watch. ”

Tom Odenberg's words are self-evident, he is telling Chen Tian that this film is very good, but its own plot and meaning are not destined to be suitable for everyone to watch like those comedies and superhero blockbusters, so the price is very fair.

Chen Tian also knew that Tom Odenberg's words were not wrong, but the price of 2 million still made him unacceptable.

"Mr. Odenberg, I know you are right, but I can't accept this price, I am in urgent need of money now, if you are willing to give me a good price, I think we will cooperate next time. ”

"Urgently?" Looking at Tom Odenberg's puzzled face, Chen Tian explained: "Yes, it is urgent, my partner is filming our second film, and we need to prepare funds for our third and fourth films." ”

There is also a purpose in saying this, he wants to tell the other party that he has follow-up films, as long as the price is raised, then Lionsgate will still be given priority to the later films.

Chen Tian's words had a certain effect, making the three of them feel incredible, they have seen too many people in the film industry for so many years.

They can't imagine that an ordinary person who takes the road of independent production can have so many filming plans.

Many companies may not have such an intensive plan, let alone some small companies that only make a profit from distributing other people's films.

In shock, they naturally thought that Chen Tian was lying, and looking at the questioning eyes of the three people, Chen Tian shrugged and explained: "I know that this is hard to believe, but this is the truth.

I think the three gentlemen also know what the survival of independent production depends on, and we don't lack this, what we lack is just money. ”

Production manager Michael Parsennecke looked at Chen Tian and said, "Justin, do you mean you have an excellent script in your hands?"

"yes, I don't think we would have been able to do our filming without a script. ”

"Can we take a look?" asked Michael Pasennecker immediately, and if Chen Tian's script was indeed excellent, then he was ready to raise the price.

After all, it is not easy to be an excellent young director and screenwriter, and screenwriters and directors are also lacking in Lionsgate.

The film "Buried Alive" can already explain something, and if the script in his hand is still excellent as Chen Tian himself said, he doesn't want to miss Chen Tian's talent, he wants to pull Chen Tian into the Lion Gate.

"Sorry, I didn't have it with me, now I only have the script for "Buried Alive". Chen Tian shrugged, and he could basically guess what the other party was thinking.

"Justin, the three of us are very optimistic about you, up to 2.5 million, this price really can't be added, if there is no way, we can only do nothing. Tom Odenberg said helplessly.

Chen Tian also knew that the possibility of wanting Lionsgate to increase the price was not high, but this price was indeed a full 1.5 million gap from the 4 million he expected.

$1.5 million is enough for Chen Tian to be a huge amount of money, and Chen Tian can only give up the buyout.

"I have a suggestion that might help us solve this problem, but it will be at the risk of both of us. ”

"What advice?" asked Tom Odenberg, looking at Chen Tian.

"Guaranteed share. Chen Tian didn't want to choose to share directly, after all, he urgently needed money now.

Therefore, choosing a guaranteed share is a relatively ideal outcome for him, but it also means risk.

Tom Oldenberg is more aware of the pros and cons of guaranteed sharing, and he recognizes the quality of this film, but the quality and box office are not necessarily word-of-mouth, especially for genre films like this: "How to guarantee the bottom share?"
