(Thanks to my friend Remnant Tianxian for his encouragement)

"Andy, why didn't you just say yes? Three million, that's a fantastic income, and I don't think I could have gotten any more price. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" George said excitedly after coming to the outside of Universal Pictures.

"George, you're wrong, I don't want to sell the copyright of this movie, but I want this movie to be seen to the world in its current form." Liu Anran pulled the tie a little open to make his breathing smoother.

"Judging from the reactions of these two companies, our film still has a lot of merit. Have you ever wondered what will happen to our company in the future if the copyright of it is sold? ”

"Tell me honestly, if you were a distributor, would you be interested in watching a film made by a very young Chinese film company owned by an unknown Asian?"

Under Liu Anran's gaze, George unconsciously touched his nose, but he still shook his head slowly. This is a normal idea for many people, if you are a distribution manager, I am afraid that you will not be interested in opening the sample film delivered by Liu Anran at all.

Although this incident is a bit hurtful, this is the cruelty of reality.

"That's right, if we can't make the company famous with this film, then the chances of the films we shoot in the future will be very difficult." Liu Haoyu looked up at the sky and said.

"So this time we have to insist that we must have full copyright. This is not just a one-time transaction, but related to the future development of Dream Media. ”

"Hey, I didn't expect a movie to be so complicated from production to distribution to release." George said a little depressed.

"Yes, as long as we make money this time, we will get both production and distribution, and we will also have our own theater in the future." Liu Anran patted George's shoulder and said cheering him up.

"As long as the movies we make have a good reputation and have huge box office returns, all the theaters will rush to release our movies by that time."

"Andy, I don't know why you have such strong confidence, maybe I'm just infected by your emotions. When I get back, I'll make a list of all the big and small studios, and I'm going to talk to each one of them. George nodded vigorously.

"Good! Hey, who's calling me? As soon as Liu Anran said a good word, the phone in his pocket vibrate.

"Hello, I'm Andy, who are you looking for?" After connecting the phone, Liu Anran spoke.

"Hello, Mr. Andy. I'm Edward, MGM's Distribution Manager? Hope, I think we can talk a little bit about that film about yours. An unfamiliar male voice came over the phone.

"Uh, okay, I wonder when you'll have time?" Liu Anran was stunned for a moment and then said in a calm tone as much as possible.

His heart was pounding because he hadn't given MGM a sample. Although MGM is also a tall existence, he is also more conservative in the production and distribution of films, which is the main reason for the later bankruptcy.

The shaky footage and rough image quality of "Ghost Record" could not have been matched by MGM, so he didn't take MGM into account at all.

But now, MGM actually came here with an admirer, so he almost hung up on him, no matter how much MGM is also one of the top film companies in the world today.

"If it's convenient for you right now, the sooner the better. I will inform the front desk and wait for you to come and talk directly. "Edward on the other side? Hope said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go over now, I'll be there in about half an hour." Liu Anran tried hard to keep his composure and said.

"Andy, Andy, is there a new company contacting us?" After Liu Anran hung up the phone, George asked expectantly.

"Yes, it's MGM. I have a hunch that we're going to succeed. Liu Anran grabbed George's arm and shook it vigorously.

“ok，ok。 Let's get over there, you're trying too hard, it hurts. George said with a cracked mouth.

Anyway, these film companies are not far away from each other, and half an hour is also very relaxed for the two.

"Andy, isn't that surprised?" Looking at Liu Anran and George's gaping mouths, little Robert? Donnie asked with a smile.

"Donnie, I really feel like I'm in a dream right now, why are you here?" Liu Anran sat down slowly and asked in surprise, have you forgotten to talk to Edward? Hope greets.

"We met Edward when he was filming Chaplin, and he's been working there ever since Carlock was bought by MGM. I think it will be a bit difficult for your film to be released, so I contacted him. "Little Robert? Donnie said with a smile.

"Andy, please allow me to save my sir, you can also call me Edward. I'd love to ask, why didn't you give us a sample of the MGM hair? Edward asked with a smile.

"Well, I think there's a big difference between what I've made and what MGM is always looking like." Liu Anran said with some embarrassment.

"It's true that this film doesn't match our previous style, and the camera is so shaky that I feel dizzy when I watch it today." Edward nodded.

"But Donnett came here in person today, and he's one of the few good friends of mine. I can do you a favor when it comes to the release of this film. ”

"In terms of remuneration, according to the custom, we will take 15% of the remuneration and be responsible for the distribution of the film and contact with those theaters. It's a little higher, because to be honest, I'm not optimistic about the box office of this movie, and I don't want our company to lose money. ”

Liu Anran's brows furrowed slightly, in this way, I am afraid that he will be able to get about 25% of the salary at most after the film is released in the future.

This film is not a blockbuster, when it is released in theaters, those theaters will not give too high a sharing agreement, and I am afraid that in the end, I will not even be able to mix 25% of the remuneration.

In the United States, the division of movies and theaters is popular 90/10 model, and with the extension of film screening time, in order to encourage theaters to arrange more screens, the proportion of theaters will be increased in the later stage.

But these are basically films that are favored by theaters, or big-budget films. But what about yourself? It would be nice to be able to give 70% in the first week.

The total box office of Ghost Shadow Records in North America was only a little over $100 million, and if you calculate according to this box office result, you can get more than $20 million in addition to some fixed expenses.
