readx;? After more than half a month of discussion, the project "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has finally made substantial progress. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ14

Lin Zixuan, on behalf of Haomeng Company, and Jiang Zhiqiang, on behalf of Yule Film Co., Ltd., signed the contract respectively, and the contract will then be mailed to the United States and will only take effect after Li Yu's signature.

According to the contract, Li Yu's salary for filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is one million US dollars.

Compared to his salary when he made films in Hollywood, this is a friendship price.

In Hollywood, Li Yan's salary is more than $1.5 million, which is not fixed.

The remuneration for making commercial films and literary films is different, and the remuneration for making Western films and Chinese films is also different, which can be negotiated.

In addition to the salary, Li Yu also has a 5% dividend.

Due to the early investment, Haomeng Company has a leading position in the box office revenue and copyright income in the later stage of the film.

According to the agreement, after repaying the bank loan and removing the investment of the Good Dream Company, the remaining net income of the Good Dream Company accounted for 55 percent, and the eucalyptus film accounted for 30 percent.

The other 10 percent is Xu Ligong's company, and the remaining 5 percent is Li Yu's dividends.

After the film is filmed, it will be released in three places, and all three companies will have to contribute.

This revenue ratio is calculated according to how much everyone contributes, and at this time, neither Jiang Zhiqiang nor Li Yu has much confidence in the box office of this movie.

On the one hand, it was affected by the financial crisis, and on the other hand, this was Li Yan's first time making a martial arts film, and it was impossible to predict what it would be.

If Xu Ke from Xiangjiang came to make this film, investors would be more confident.

Jiang Zhiqiang's idea is to sell the overseas copyright, as long as the principal is guaranteed without compensation, he took over "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", mainly to have a good relationship with Li Yu.

Besides, even if you sign a broadcast rights contract with a Hollywood studio, there is still a lot of risk.

Hollywood studios are not stupid, they have professional personnel to evaluate the quality of the film.

Moreover, there will definitely be various restrictions in the contract, requiring the film to reach a certain quality before payment, otherwise it will be enough to make a random martial arts film to fool them.

Once there is a situation where Hollywood studios do not recognize "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", then the bank's $7 million loan will require the three of them to pay, of which Jiang Zhiqiang, as the guarantor, will bear the brunt.

It is difficult for banks in Xiangjiang to impose penalties on Good Dream in the mainland, and they need to apply to the courts in Beijing to do so.

This is the reason why the film has 30 percent of the profits, and it carries the main risk.

Therefore, everyone is happy when a movie makes money, and if it loses money, it will definitely continue to rip off.

The purpose of signing the contract is to clarify the respective responsibilities and provide the necessary basis for taking legal steps in the future.

After Li Yu signed, Lin Zixuan would remit 10 million yuan to a designated account in Xiangjiang as start-up capital.

The funds are in place, indicating that the project is officially launched, and Li Yu will return from the United States to prepare for the crew.

The filming of a commercial blockbuster involves all aspects, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the biggest project of Good Dream Company in the past two years.

Lin Zixuan asked Xu Jinglei not to take over the film, just shoot a few commercials in the second half of the year to make millions, and then make every effort to prepare for the audition and filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

With Xu Jinglei's current popularity, the income from shooting an advertisement is about 150,000 yuan.

Jiang Zhiqiang left the capital with a contract, and in these days in the capital, he has a preliminary understanding of the film industry in the mainland.

Compared with Hong Kong, the mainland's film industry is quite backward, not only because the film market is not open, but also because the filmmakers' concepts are too conservative.

What time is this, and the mainland is still debating the artistry and industrialization of films.

In Xiangjiang, commercial films are the mainstream, and literary films are supplements, which is a normal film market.

He thinks that the rapid development of Haomeng Company in the mainland is related to the concept.

Lin Zixuan is biased towards commercial films in terms of investment, and he dares to invest in such a big project as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which can be seen that there is a spirit of adventure, which is the driving force for the development of a company.

While adventurous, Lin Zixuan is not lacking in calmness.

He spent four years preparing for this project, making a martial arts novel acceptable to audiences and readers in the mainland, which seemed adventurous, but in fact it was a gradual process.

Besides, Feng Xiaogang is a very business-minded director, and his commercial films have achieved great success in the mainland.

Talking to Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Zhiqiang will have those commercial film directors in Xiangjiang in his mind.

These people always put the audience first, grasp the psychology of the audience, and they go to the market when they make films.

Jiang Zhiqiang didn't see Ge You, but the title of Cannes actor, one of the best actors in the mainland, and strong box office appeal, this is the actor that every film company wants to have.

There is also the general manager of Haomeng Company, who left a deep impression on him.

Although Yu Dong is young, he reacts quite quickly, is eloquent, good at learning, argues with reason in negotiations, and has strong communication skills, which can unconsciously shorten the distance between each other.

The most important point is that these people are open-minded, easy to accept new things, and not rigid and conservative.

Jiang Zhiqiang even felt that their concept was a bit ahead of their time, for example, Haomeng Company also operated a website.

Often in contact with Hollywood studios, he is no stranger to the model of Time.com.

In the West, there is a similar website called IMDB, which is the Internet Movie Database, which is originally a website maintained by volunteers and originated in 1990, mainly introducing various information such as movie content and actors.

It was not until 1996 that the company was founded, relying on advertising, licensing and partnerships for revenue.

The current scale and influence of Time.com cannot be compared with this company, because the number of netizens in the mainland is not large, the influence is not large, and the mainland has more restrictions on the use of the Internet.

However, the establishment of Time.com shows that Good Dream has a clear plan for the future.

As a filmmaker, Jiang Zhiqiang understands the role that such a website can play in the hands of a film company, and as the influence of Time.com gradually increases, Haomeng can get more and more benefits from it.

In Jiang Zhiqiang's eyes, Haomeng Company is a company worth cooperating, and he is very optimistic about the future of Haomeng Company.

He conveyed this meaning to Xu Ligong and Li Yu, and briefly introduced the situation of Haomeng Company, so that the two of them could rest assured.

Li Yan's film in Hollywood has been filmed, and he does not have the final editing rights of the film, and he has not participated much in post-production.

In Hollywood, there are often two versions of a movie, one is the copyright for theatrical release, and the other is the director's cut, because the director generally does not have the final editing rights.

After receiving Jiang Zhiqiang's call, Li Yu was relieved.

He is ready to dispose of the work at hand as soon as possible, and a new challenge awaits him. (To be continued.) )
