Chapter 281: The release is finally finalized

However, Alain Ryder Jr. didn't make any noise at this time, he didn't want to say anything before the professionals in the screening room came to a conclusion, after all, it would mislead the judgment of others. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

However, from the expression of Alain Ryder from the young age, Zhang Junyi knew that there was no accident, and the purpose of his coming here today had been more than half successful.

After the movie was played, although it was time for a lunch break, everyone in the screening hall did not rush to leave, and these middle and senior executives of Twentieth Century Fox began to discuss with each other in the screening hall immediately after the movie was played.

Of course, in the presence of Zhang Junyi, these middle and high-level executives of Twentieth Century Fox openly talked about this film in front of Zhang Junyi, which does not mean that they are unprofessional, because at the beginning, Alain Ryder Jr. showed this attitude towards Zhang Junyi, and they, the middle and high-level leaders of Twentieth Century Fox, realized that there was no need for them to openly avoid Zhang Junyi when discussing this movie.

。。。。。。 The golden section。。。。。。。

In the living room of Alain Ryder Jr.'s office at Twentieth Century Fox Film Company, Zhang Junyi sat opposite Alan Ryder Jr., and after the secretary served coffee, Alan Ryder Jr. first invited Zhang Junyi to taste his own cherished coffee.

After all, at the level of the two of them, sitting together because of the negotiation of a movie is really a little untrue, but this is not surprising, who let Zhang Junyi have no available people under him now, and the sensational box office caused by this movie after its release is only clear to me, a traveler with memories of my past life.

After the two tasted the coffee, Alain Ryder Jr. said: "Zhang, to be honest, Twentieth Century Fox is very optimistic about the potential of "Home Alone", and after discussion, Twentieth Century Fox decided to buy out all the rights to this movie for 30 million dollars, what do you think?"

Although the twentieth Century Fox in the previous life spent a total of 18 million US dollars on the filming of "Home Alone", it included publicity expenses, plus the filming time in the previous life was 1990, and in this life, although Zhang Junyi did not limit the filming funds, the current dollar is not as strong as the inflation in the previous life, so even the movie "Home Alone" was refined under Zhang Junyi's request, and it only cost a total of 9 million US dollars.

The cost of 9 million US dollars has tripled all of a sudden, and if it were put in the ordinary people, they would probably nod their heads happily and agree immediately.

But for Zhang Junyi, who knew that this movie swept the global box office of more than 530 million US dollars after it was released in his previous life, how could he sell his movie so cheaply!

If you want to buy out "Home Alone" for 30 million US dollars, are you stupid, stupid, or stupid? Zhang Junyi slandered, but this is how to do business, sit on the ground and start the price, and pay back the money on the spot.

However, Zhang Junyi knows that this is still due to the fact that everyone is on an equal footing in some places to offer such a price, if it is estimated that Alain Ryder Jr. will not even come forward, and the price offered will be much lower, after all, Alan Ryder Jr. does not have the ability to predict the future.

But even Alain Ryder Jr. does not have the ability to predict the future, but the price he offers is low enough in Zhang Junyi's opinion.

Now little Alain Ryder and Zhang Junyi are in two opposing positions, representing different companies, so everyone wants to fight for their own maximum interests, so Zhang Junyi's expression did not show any disappointment.

Talk about business, talk about business, where does the deal come from after every negotiation!

In fact, Alain Ryder Jr. would never have thought that Zhang Junyi came here today with the idea of talking to Twentieth Century Fox about a buyout, knowing that Zhang Junyi, who had such brilliant results at the box office in his previous life, could not be stupid and crazy and would let any film company buy out the movie at one time.

Of course, unless someone can sell the buyout price above 100 million yuan and US dollars, it is obvious that this is simply not possible.

Zhang Junyi was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ryder, since Twentieth Century Fox can sell the buyout price to 30 million US dollars, I believe that Mr. Ryder is talking about it in good faith, but can I ask, does your company estimate the box office of this "Home Alone"?"

Seeing that Zhang Junyi did not agree immediately, although little Alain Ryder was a little disappointed, he still answered Zhang Junyi's question.

"Of course there is no problem, just now after the evaluation of professionals in the distribution department, Zhang, we expect your film to grossing around $80 million worldwide. β€œ

Hearing this, Zhang Junyi also knew that Alain Ryder's estimated box office for "Home Alone" was not much different from the real data.

So Zhang Junyi said: "Mr. Ryder, I'm sorry, I'm not going to sell Home Alone in the form of a buyout, let's talk about the sharing agreement!"

"Oh, MY GOD, you're crazy, I don't think you're Asian at all, to be honest you're more like us Americans!" said Alain Ryder Jr. in surprise when he heard Chang's suggestion.

But Zhang Junyi doesn't know how much of the surprised expression of Alain Ryder Jr. is true or false, but Zhang Junyi still has some preparations for Alan Ryder's surprise Jr., after all, if he changes to someone else, he will definitely be tempted by the income of 30 million US dollars.

But who made Zhang Junyi not an ordinary person, a movie with a box office of 530 million sold for 30 million, hehe, his own movies are not so cheap.

"Zhang, you have to know that if you talk about a share of ordinary movies, the producer can only get 20 percent of the box office, are you so confident that your film can reach more than 150 million US dollars?"

"Of course I know, Mr. Ryder, but I'm not sure about the final result of this movie, but after all, this is my first film in Hollywood, and I still have some confidence in my film, and I'm not short of eighteen million dollars, and people like us who are worth a lot, I think sometimes some pursuits are more important than dollars, aren't they?" Zhang Junyi said with a smile.

"Okay, in that case, I won't persuade you anymore, what you say makes sense, after all, like us, sometimes money is really not the most important thing!" Regarding Zhang Junyi's explanation, Alain Ryder Jr. also agreed with it.

"But, Zhang, this is your first film after all, and if there is a sharing agreement, I can only give you 18% of the box office share. You have to know that 20 percent is just an average situation, if we had 20th Century Fox to release Home Alone, then the cost of publicity and distribution would have been much higher than the cost of production, and 18 percent I think that number is very reasonable. ”

Hearing Little Alain Ryder's answer, Zhang Junyi's brows frowned slightly, but he was not angry, he didn't say anything immediately, he took a sip of the coffee on the table, thought for a while, and suddenly a flash flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had a new plan.

"I wonder if Mr. Ryder is interested in playing a game with me?" asked Zhang Junyi with a strange smile on his face.

Gambling agreements are very common and common in the United States, even in Hollywood, this kind of thing often happens, for Zhang Junyi at this time put forward a new proposal, little Alain Ryder did not think about other aspects, in the heart of little Alain Ryder just thinks that Zhang Junyi just makes movies as a big toy, after all, people like them, everyone's personal preferences are sometimes strange, some people like yachts, some people like sports, little Alain? Ryder thought that Zhang Junyi just liked movies, which was a normal thing.

So at this time, Alain Ryder Jr. was also more interested in signaling Zhang Junyi to continue, Alan Ryder Jr. is now very interested in what kind of gambling conditions Zhang Junyi can offer at this time.

Seeing that Alain Ryder Jr. looked full of interest, Zhang Junyi said with a smile: "I don't ask Twentieth Century Fox to have such generous publicity conditions for "Home Alone", as long as I ensure that the publicity of this movie can meet the normal publicity level of Twentieth Century Fox!"

Regarding the publicity conditions proposed by Zhang Junyi at this time, Alan Ryder Jr. still nodded and indicated that there was no problem, after all, no matter what, the basic conditions for the introduction of "Home Alone", Twentieth Century Fox still takes making money as the criterion, so it is impossible for Twentieth Century Fox to set up any obstacles for "Home Alone" in publicity, after all, the publicity is not in place, and it is not only Zhang Junyi who loses.

At this time, Zhang Junyi suddenly remembered something, and said with a fear of his thigh: "Mr. Ryder, I forgot to say that before the filming of this movie, I actually changed the script based on my novel, so it is estimated that the novel of "Home Alone" will be on the market soon, which I think is also a powerful condition for the promotion of the movie!"

Hearing Zhang Junyi's addition, Alain Ryder Jr. also showed a happy smile on his face, after all, after the novel is released, there will definitely be some regular fans to support watching the movie, which is also good news for Twentieth Century Fox.

"Mr. Ryder, I take the global box office of 150 million as the standard, 150 million to 200 million US dollars, the box office share is 20 percent, and then for every box office over 100 million, my box office share is 5 percent, what do you think? Of course, if the global box office is less than 150 million US dollars, I don't want a penny, and all the box office goes to 20th Century Fox!" Zhang Junyi said with a smile.

Regarding the gambling conditions proposed by Zhang Junyi at this time, even Alain Ryder Jr. showed an incredible expression after hearing it.

To be honest, Alain Ryder Jr. didn't expect Zhang Junyi to play so big, of course, Alain Ryder Jr.'s big bet is not that he thinks that Zhang Junyi's proposed box office share is unreasonable, but that Zhang Junyi's threshold for his film is too high.

If this VAM agreement is really signed according to the threshold proposed by Zhang Junyi, as long as Twentieth Century Fox makes a little action when the movie is released, it is estimated that Zhang Junyi will not get a penny at that time.

Of course, it is impossible for Alain Ryder Jr. to do this, after all, it is absolutely not cost-effective to offend a rich tycoon who is willing to stand up for Zhang Junyi even for the sake of tens of millions of dollars, but Alan Ryder Jr. does not have to admire Zhang Junyi's courage.

At this moment, Alain Ryder Jr. only felt that Zhang Junyi's expectations for his movie were too high, and he didn't expect that this was actually a pit dug by Zhang Junyi for him, and this pit was not shallow.

However, Zhang Junyi didn't think that there was any immoral element in his doing, after all, doing business is all about paying attention to one interest in it, and when the time comes, the final box office will come out, which can only show that Alain Ryder Jr. has a bad vision.

In fact, Zhang Junyi will not have any scruples about whether Twentieth Century Fox will do anything at the box office at that time, after all, people like them are not worth what they do for tens of millions of profits.

Of course, if it were someone else, it would not be impossible for the 20th Century Fox to do something, but for himself, Zhang Junyi believes that Alain Ryder Jr. will never do anything, after all, he doesn't know what he will offend himself for tens of millions, otherwise Alan Ryder Jr. would not have promised himself at the party, no matter what, he did not fail to see the attitude of Bush Sr. and others towards him at that time.

Little Alain Ryder still said in disbelief at this time: "Zhang, are you sure that what you are saying now is in a conscious state?"

Zhang Junyi saw the tone of little Alain Ryder's speech at this time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ryder, calm down, calm down! I just have confidence in my own films, you must know that although I am still a newcomer in Hollywood, I also have my own film company and a whole theater chain in Xiangjiang, you must know that the top few in the total box office of Xiangjiang are all written by me!"

"Although there may be a big difference between the taste of American people and Hong Kong, I believe that a movie made with a good story will definitely be liked by the audience, and besides, even if this movie really does not meet my expectations, I will be considered less than 10 million dollars!" Zhang Junyi shrugged his shoulders and said.
