Thank you for the reward from Brother Kill!

"Justin, we're old friends, what else do we need?"

Jon Philtimmel, who was on the side, looked at Chen Tian and said that he never believed that Chen Tian would be so generous, only ten percent.

Nowadays, the discussion of obesity in the United States is very hot, and in the first half of the year, it broke out that the two girls who were told in this documentary sued McDonald's.

If the previous prosecution of McDonald's was only one side, then this documentary is a tangible piece of evidence.

Even if this documentary only represents the individual actor Lewis in the film, and does not represent everyone, it is enough to have a great impact on McDonald's.

According to his estimates, the documentary will definitely exceed 10 million at the box office in the United States.

Coupled with the name of Chen Tianshang's burial alive, then this documentary may reach 20 million or even set a new documentary record.

According to 30 million, Lionsgate's interest is almost 18 million, and Chen Tian can only get 3 million as long as he is 10%.

"Jon, in addition to the box office, this time I want to fight for DVD and Blu-ray discs. ”

Later, the documentary eventually grossed more than $10 million in North America and nearly 30 million worldwide.

At the beginning, the maximum number of theaters screened in North America was only 250, and now if you can avoid some blockbusters, you may be able to strive for more theaters, otherwise it is unrealistic to simply increase the number of theaters.

After all, blockbusters are the biggest source of money for theaters, and no one will get along with money.

Therefore, Chen Tian did not have much expectation for the box office, and simply set his sights on DVDs and Blu-ray discs.

Nowadays, obesity has become a big problem in the United States and even the world, and not many parents want their children to have an obese body, so this documentary is undoubtedly a good real case.

"Justin, what do you want to divide it into?" Tom Thornberg calmed down, reflecting on how he had almost lost his cool just now.

"Thirty percent of DVD and Blu-ray Disc revenue. ”

"It's impossible, Justin, you're too greedy. Jon Fittimmel immediately objected.

Chen Tian was not in a hurry, but laughed.

"Jon, my old friend, I wouldn't do anything unseemly, we're happy to work together in a live burial, aren't we?

Then there's my little sunshine beauty and James's chainsaw, and I think you'll be interested in James's work compared to mine. ”

Seeing that a few people didn't speak again, Chen Tian continued: "I know that the cost of completing a DVD is about $4, counting the shipping costs, etc., the DVD will not exceed $5, and the difference between the cost of Blu-ray Disc and DVD is $2.

With a DVD costing $8-$11 and a Blu-ray disc costing $35-$32, Lionsgate doesn't cost much. ”

Tom Thornberg's knowledge of this aspect surprised Tom Thornberg and the trio, and Chen Tian did not hesitate to surprise them: "I have read reports that global DVD retail sales are expected to reach $9 billion this year.

The DVD business accounts for more than half of Hollywood's overall revenue, with only 20% of Hollywood's total revenue coming from theatrical box office.

The remaining 30% comes from on-demand broadcasts of satellite TV, cable TV, etc., and the biggest cake is provided by the sale and rental of movie DVDs.

Now I only need the revenue from DVD sales, and we don't want any revenue from TV on demand and other revenues.

I think Tom, Jon, Michael, you will be able to calculate my sincerity, we have conceded most of the benefits. ”

This sharing ratio, Chen Tian has carefully considered.

And like being buried alive, Chen Tian personally has no control over the income of TV on demand, so he simply let it out.

Although Chen Tian and Wen Ziren took the money to complete the filming and ownership by themselves, but without the channel, Super Burger King is just a documentary and will not become money.

Now this is not too difficult for Lionsgate to accept and it will not suffer too much, after all, Lionsgate has to bear the cost and sales channel affairs, which Chen Tian does not have at all.

Tom Thornberg looked at Chen Tian: "Justin, you have studied the number jù very thoroughly, if you are not a director, you will definitely be an excellent negotiator."

However, this qiē is still unknown, we can't give you an answer immediately, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait here for a while, maybe an hour. ”

"Tom, I understand, you can think about it, in my opinion it's a win-win, I hope to get good news from you, then James and I will go back first, and then wait for you to call. ”

"That's fine, no matter what this cooperation is, it won't affect the great friendship between Lionsgate and you. ”

Tom Thornberg patted Chen Tian on the shoulder, Wen Ziren on the side was really not used to such a scene, in his opinion, this qiē was too fake.

Walking out of the Lionsgate Building, Chen Tian laughed: "James, this is negotiation, everyone wears a mask.

Even if you know it's fake, you have to do it and talk about it with a smile on your face.

You can't expect the other party to be generous enough to give you the money, they want you to serve them for free, and it's better not to stick it to them. ”

"Okay, next time something like this, I think it's better for me to stay at home, just have you, I just need to make movies and write scripts with peace of mind. Wen Ziren stretched.

"You're too ruthless, if there's a way, I don't want to come, send me back quickly, I still need to go and see how their post-production is going in Parma, and besides, didn't you say that you want to start the chainsaw shooting?"

Wen Ziren opened the car door: "Damn, Justin, you are the biggest evil capitalist, I still want to rest for a while, you don't know what it's like to walk and shake in front of countless people for thirty days in a row, and those hamburgers." ”

"It's up to you to bring it up yourself. Chen Tian smiled and punched Wen Ziren.

And the three of Lionsgate are still discussing the final answer, and they also know that Lionsgate can make a profit in addition to Chen Tian's request.

Just like being buried alive, although they were very sad and finally gave another $48 million to Chen Tian, they also saw the huge profits that Lionsgate reaped, but the capitalists would never be satisfied.

When the car drove to Sunset Boulevard, it happened to encounter a series of rear-end car accidents, and Sunset Boulevard became congested as a result.

More and more vehicles poured into Sunset Boulevard, slowly moving from a turtle speed to a complete stop.

Many people simply got off the station and waited next to the train, and some people who were in a hurry began to explode.

"I don't know how long it has been since I've been stuck in a traffic jam due to a car accident, and we went out to get some air. Wen Ziren simply stopped the car.

The temperature in Los Angeles in September was not high, and standing outside the car and looking at the long convoy, Wen Ziren sighed: "We will definitely not be able to move until noon today, the front is too slow." ”

Sirens sounded from time to time, and news reporting vehicles, ambulances, and vehicle repair vehicles drove from time to time to the incident site in front of them from special passages.

In the face of such a tragic situation, Chen Tian could only pray that the casualties would be as many as possible.

At this moment, Chen Tian's mobile phone rang, and Chen Tian thought it was a call from Lionsgate, but it was Eric Lomis, the MGM publishing manager who called him last time.

"Eric, is there any good news for me?" Chen Tian joked.

"Yes, that's good news.

Justin, I've won you a chance, a platform to show your talents.

But it's not my means to win you over, it's just a friendship between friends. Eric Lomis, on the other end of the line, said with a smile.

Chen Tian would not be naïve enough to think that MGM would help him with friendship.
