In fact, before holding a media viewing meeting, several producers had already watched the whole story of "Touching the Golden Captain" in advance.

After all, it is a publicity cost of 150 million US dollars, and several companies attach great importance to such a large amount of money.

After reading it, several producers were very satisfied.

"If there are other forces that guarantee the issuance, there are no three billion, and I resolutely cannot agree to it!"

This is the unanimous opinion of several companies, including Shen Lin.

To put it bluntly, several companies' views on "Touching the Golden Captain" are definitely above "The Mermaid", and they are very optimistic about the market performance of this movie.

Then at today's media viewing meeting, someone really proposed a guaranteed release.

"Oh, tell me, how much are you willing to offer?"

Shen Lin looked at the Ferris wheel Culture Media that was about to say the guaranteed data with a playful expression.

First of all, this company is a company specializing in tourism, and publishing is just a side business.

But they have a good eye, or a lot of luck.

"Blooming Heart", "You at the Table", including "Rescue Mr. Wu", are all films distributed or participated in by them.

Especially "Blooming Heart" has a guaranteed minimum of 400 million, which can make them over!

It is said that at that time, they benefited more than 200 million from "Blooming Hearts"!

"We are willing to bid 1.8 billion!"

The person in charge of the Ferris wheel has an unruly face.

In their opinion, the 1.8 billion guaranteed issuance is already a remarkable figure!

Several media outlets in the back row also screamed.

1.8 billion should be the highest guaranteed price of all released movies at present, and you must know that the guaranteed release of "Mermaid" is only a little more than 1.7 billion.

Shen Lin's reaction was to smile slightly: "I'm sorry, the price is too low, we won't accept it!"

I'll go, the price of 1.8 billion is too low?

"Director Shen, what is your box office expectation for "Touching the Golden Captain"?"

Some media asked.

"This is the beginning of the series, and if the global box office falls below 1 billion, it means that it is a failure!"

Shen Lin, who was standing in the front row, turned his head to look at the media reporter who asked the question, and then said: "In North America, our publicity and distribution investment is 50 million US dollars! That is to say, the box office in North America must ensure a box office of 200 million US dollars in order not to lose money! As for China,"

Shen Lin paused: "Less than 3 billion, I think this is a failed work!"

I'll go!

You're too arrogant, aren't you?

A billion in the world, you think you're James Cameron?

But think about Shen Lin's first two major productions, "Interstellar" and "Super Body", the global box office is infinitely close to the global box office of one billion US dollars, and the domestic box office has also exceeded two billion.

It's really possible!

"In this way, we are willing to offer a price of 2.8 billion to issue "Touching the Golden Captain"!"

The person in charge of the Ferris wheel still did not give up, and directly increased the guaranteed issuance price by 1 billion!

Nima, 2.8 billion!

This time, not only the media were shocked, but several production companies also looked at each other, and they were a little moved.

"Do you have that much money?"

Shen Lin did not refuse directly, but asked with a little meaning.

2.8 billion guaranteed, which means that Shen Lin and several companies need to pay close to 1 billion yuan on the spot!

This is a real income, not to mention that Shen Lin is a little hesitant, and several other issuing companies are also hesitant.

2.8 billion guaranteed release, the movie has not yet been released, the money is in hand, and there is still money to be made.

Why not?

Guaranteed issuance is the way to go.

“… This, can we defer the payment?"

The person in charge of the Ferris wheel was a little hesitant.

Nonsense, who will casually carry more than a billion?

"First of all, I want to thank the Ferris wheel, no, it's BJ Culture's trust in me, and I can release this movie at a price of 2.8 billion, however, I still think it's better to return to tradition in terms of movies, what if the market performance of "Touching the Golden Captain" is not as good as expected?"

Shen Lin pulled out a bunch of reasons, even if he rejected the proposal of the Ferris wheel in person.

In fact, Ferris Wheel Media is a subsidiary of BJ Culture, which is the largest distributor and investor of "Wolf Warrior 2" in the previous life!

Defer payment, let's pull the calf!

If the payment can be deferred, do we still need to guarantee the issuance?

"That's it, Director Shen, we are willing to release "Touching the Golden Captain" at a price of three billion..."

"Okay, if you have that spare time, you might as well make your own movie!"

didn't wait for the Ferris wheel to finish speaking, Shen Lin was already a little unhappy.

Pay part of the guaranteed amount first, and then wait for the market to react, if the response is good, then pay the remaining part, so why sign a contract?

……

"Linzi, are we really doing it ourselves?"

At the end of the media viewing meeting, Da Lao Wang looked at the other responsible persons, and then asked.

"Generally speaking, I think that the guarantee is a practice that violates the laws of the market, and 80% of the guarantees end in unpleasant cooperation. If the guaranteed party wins, the guaranteed party is very uncomfortable, of course, usually the guaranteed party loses, and the vast majority of them do not fulfill the guaranteed contract in the end. I didn't pay the money, and I didn't pay for all sorts of reasons! I don't want to be a victim like that!"

Shen Lin smiled and looked at how many people were in charge.

"Guaranteed distribution is based on the results of the game in all aspects of the entire value chain, and it is a pure market-oriented and pure commercial development. ”

Yu Yongfu, the head of Ali's side, has a different opinion.

The thinking of Internet people is still different from that of film distribution in general, and people think about passing on risks!

"If you have confidence in this movie and in my Shen Lin, I think it's better to go through normal channels, I believe that the box office of "Touching the Golden Captain" will surprise everyone!"

Shen Lin ignored Yu Yongfu and instead focused on several other responsible persons.

Compared with Alibaba, several other companies are really professional film distribution companies.

"OK, we did it ourselves, when we decided to invest, it was for the name of Shen Lin!"

Of these people, Wang Changtian is Shen Lin's hardcore ally, and he is the one who absolutely supports Shen Lin's resolution.

And what he said was also true.

Alibaba, Guangguang, Wanda, including Disney, each invested $30 million in "Touching the Golden Captain", and it is the influence of Shen Lin's IP that they are interested in.

No one invests with the intention of losing money.

They must have made market estimates before making an investment.

"Okay, I also think that what Linzi said is no problem, and besides, there is no opponent in November, our "Touching the Golden Captain" is a cut above other movies in terms of topicality and the movie itself, besides, Linzi's box office appeal has always been not low!"

Jiang Defu on Wanda's side also agreed.
