After the post-processing of the film is completed, in addition to the dragon mark that is reported to the General Administration to obtain the release qualification, there will generally be a viewing meeting organized by major theaters.

The premise is a work directed by a big director, or a movie starring a big star.

The production company generally invites peers to evaluate together, and then the theater chain combines the publicity of the film and the star cast to determine the number of films to be released.

However, in recent years, with the large-scale entry of capital, the film viewing meeting has become a film buying meeting, and Shen Lin's "My Girlhood" was handed over to Wanda with a minimum guarantee of 800 million.

This time, Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid" just held a viewing party, and a bunch of Ren squeezed in, including Fang Jianhao.

"How's the movie?"

Although Shen Lin already knew in advance the quality of "The Mermaid" and its box office results, he still had to pretend that he didn't know anything.

"It's not bad, it's just not as funny as Zhou Xingchi's previous movies. ”

Fang Jianhao said honestly.

"How much does he offer?"

Let's get straight to the point.

The reason why Fang Jianhao called must have been to try the boss's tone, after all, everyone in the circle knows that Shen Lin's vision has always been surprisingly accurate!

Today's general situation is like this, many well-known directors' movies have just come out, and they have already sold for money, and Zhou Xingchi is even more so.

Master Xing, this appeal is not inferior to Shen Lin at all!

In the original time and space, Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid" was handed over to the light for distribution.

In fact, after Zhou Xingchi entered the mainland, all the movies were basically invested and distributed by Huayi, "Kung Fu" and "Yangtze River No. 7" include "Journey to the West" three years ago

However, Zhou Xingchi himself suffered a loss in Huayi!

In the original "Journey to the West", the box office agreed between Zhou and Huayi was 500 million, and once the box office cut-off line of 500 million was passed, Wang Zhongjun was willing to pay Zhou Xingchi according to the floating ratio.

The total cost is 113 million, Huayi invests 77 million, and Zhou Xingchi's Xinghui Company invests the remaining 36 million.

In other words, Zhou Xingchi can get a remuneration of close to 60 million, and then subtract the cost of 36 million, "Journey to the West" brings Stephen Chow only about 20 million income.

Later, the movie was released, and the box office reached nearly 800 million in the first week, of course Zhou Xingchi quit and wanted to find Huayi to sign a sharing contract.

Brother Wang didn't know what he had done, but he didn't agree, and said that 500 million refers to the net box office income, not the box office figure!

The two also went to court.

Of course, in the end, Huayi won the lawsuit, and Wang Zhonglei also left the very famous sentence 'The judge knows more about movies than Stephen Chow!'

Hehe!

Absolutely small and big!

Stephen Chow's personality is retributive, of course he will not choose to cooperate with Huayi this time!

In the first viewing meeting, only Wanda and Guangguang participated, and Wanda gave a contract template at that time, saying that it would be bought out for 1.3 billion.

The investment in "Mermaid" is close to 300 million, of which the lion's share is definitely light. The second is Rastar and its overseas companies.

If Wanda's 1.3 billion buyout is agreed, the two will make 100 million together.

Neither Da Lao Wang nor Zhou Xingchi would be satisfied, and decisively refused.

The news spread quickly, and then the second film viewing meeting, that is, the film viewing attended by Fang Jianhao, the five companies jointly wanted to buy out the distribution rights of "The Mermaid" with a guarantee of 1.5 billion.

Zhou Xingchi was energetic, so he decisively opened his mouth, and opened his mouth to be 2 billion guaranteed!

2 billion, this is a bit hanging, and several issuing companies are a little hesitant.

These five companies naturally include Shen Lin's Zhao Liying Studio!

"Shen Lin, do you think we can accept the price of 2 billion?"

Fang Jian didn't know the bottom in his heart, so he called Shen Lin to ask.

“… I'll do the math first. ”

Not to mention 2 billion, it is a 3 billion buyout, and the studio has to earn!

But if you really buy it out with 3 billion, it won't make much money, and the theater chain will have to wait for at least half a year to share the account.

The working capital on the studio's books is not very large, and in 2016, Shen Lin is still ready to do a big job.

If you use a real 2 billion buyout distribution, that is to say, Shen Lin needs to pay a total of 680 million to Zhou Xingchi and Guangguang in order to win the distribution right, if according to the memory of the previous life, the final box office result of the mermaid will reach 3.3 billion, at least 300 million net income for the studio!

"If Zhou Xingchi agrees to a 2 billion buyout issuance, we can consider..."

"It's not us, it's five companies, including Light, Alibaba, Wanda and Xinli Media..."

Fang Jianhao was taken aback, he didn't expect Shen Lin to actually want to eat such a big piece of cake by himself!

Not to mention that the risk is too great, the key is that if it is really profitable, Zhao Liying's studio will be completely targeted by those big capitalists.

"Well, if you contact Da Lao Wang, just say that I am very optimistic about "Mermaid", I am personally very willing to issue 2 billion guaranteed, if he doesn't agree, forget it..."

Shen Lin thought about it, and decided to eat this cake with the light.

"Aren't we thinking about Ali?"

Fang Jianhao was very curious why Shen Lin made the decision to cooperate with Guangguang.

"Tsk... Ali, those people don't have any idea of making movies, I don't like it very much. As for Wanda, their cinema chain has made a lot of money this time, and it should be satisfied!"

"Mr. Shen, in fact, if you really want to issue it separately, it's not impossible, we can start directly from Zhou Xingchi! I heard that he loves money very much, and I am sure that I can push the price below 1.8 billion!"

"Don't, let's keep a low profile, build a high wall, and slowly become king!"

"That propaganda..."

Fang Jianhao has assured that Wang Changtian will definitely agree to Shen Lin's proposal.

The release of the project "Mermaid" will be handed over to the light and Zhao Liying's studio.

"The main theme is 'We all owe Xing Ye a movie ticket', and I found someone to write an advertorial article about Huayi and Zhou Xingchi, including the grievances between Hong Kong and Zhou Xingchi, which aroused netizens' sympathy for Zhou Xingchi, by the way, looking for a water army to compare Zhou Xingchi's photos when he was young and his current photos on major forums and websites..."

Everyone owes Xing Ye a movie ticket, and it is definitely the best marketing of the year in 2016.

As for the latter two, they were deliberately added by Shen Lin, "Legend of the Gods" is set for the summer, and Shen Lin has decided to start sniping from now on!

"Do you like Zhou Xingchi very much?"

Finally waiting for Shen Lin to hang up the phone, Ying Bao asked curiously.

"It's okay, his comedy movies are really unique, why do you suddenly ask that?"

Shen Lin felt a little inexplicable.

"Then what did you say that you owe Xing Ye a movie ticket, I thought you admired him very much!"

"Hehe, that's a normal commercial marketing method, just like 'the angel who folded his wings in his last life, not turning is not a Chinese', bring the topic hot, I dare to say that the box office results of "Mermaid" will make you jaw-dropping!"

As the 80s and 90s generation, which are the main box office players now, almost all of them grew up watching free Zhou Xingchi's works.

Zhou Xingchi brought them countless joys, and they returned a movie ticket to Xing Ye today.

The logic is a bit different, do we owe any movie we watch online for free a movie ticket to them?
