Chapter 39: Infighting
Zheng Haitao blinked tiredly, it was already zero o'clock, there was no way, no one wanted to go to bed early during the Jingshi Film Festival. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Every day, new viewing reports are sent, and new decisions have to be made every day, especially after 22 o'clock, which is the peak period for the distribution department to come back, which is the busiest time of the day.
As the head of Tianya Film and Television, he must stay here and make all decisions, Tianya Film and Television is not big, he must do everything himself.
There was a knock on the door,
"Come in."
Zheng Haitao put down the coffee cup.
"Mr. Zheng, do you have time, I have something to report to you."
He Yuan came in and smiled.
"Director He, come, sit."
Zheng Haitao pointed to the seat opposite.
"Is there any good film again, I've been looking forward to it."
"Well, this one, it's a good film, it's a rare police film in the past two years, it's just...
He Yuan grinned, this matter is really hard to say, it is actually his business scope, but the competition between the brother and sister really gives him a headache.
"Lao He, if you have anything to say, there is nothing we can't say between us."
Zheng Haitao smiled.
"That's right, I was invited by Zheng Hailan and Mr. Zheng to watch a film today,"
Speaking of which, He Yuan chuckled in his heart, okay, when he heard Zheng Hailan's name, the smile on Zheng Haitao's face disappeared immediately, isn't it embarrassing,
"It's the film shot by Fang Yuchen."
Zheng Haitao asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, his film also participated in the film festival, Zheng Hailan Zheng asked me to watch it, well, what do you say about this film, it's quite brilliant,"
Looking at Zheng Haitao's constipated expression, He Yuan suddenly felt a toothache, and said in his heart that it was all for the sake of the company's business, otherwise why would he wade into this troubled water, alas, Mr. Zheng has a limited mind.
"You can watch a film made by a rookie who doesn't know anything, hehe."
Zheng Haitao sneered.
He has long known about this film, how could he not know that there are some people in the company who were pulled by his sister, but he really didn't pay attention to it at all, he had never heard of a singer-songwriter who could become a qualified director for a long time, and he had never heard of it.
So he didn't set up any obstacles for Fang Yuchen, it wasn't worth it.
"Lao He, don't just look at my sister's face, this matter is not an example, I will say her tomorrow, don't introduce any films shot by cats and dogs to the company,"
"Ahem, cough, cough," He Yuan was speechless, looking at how the relationship between these two siblings had deteriorated, he didn't wait for anything to say Zheng Haitao's brain, what did he do, is it so embarrassing,
"The question is, ahem."
Zheng Haitao glanced at him, what is wrong with this old He today, he has already said that he has to deal with that sister, how can this He Yuan still have this expression.
"Mr. Zheng, the problem is that this film is the best independent film I have seen at a film festival."
What He Yuan said made Zheng Haitao startled, what, I heard it right, the best independent film, whether it's true or not, just rely on that rookie.
He stared at He Yuan on the opposite side and looked at him carefully, only to see that He Yuan was very insistent and looked at him, looking very determined.
I'll go, is it true, eh, is this Fang Yuchen a ghost.
Looking at Zheng Haitao's uncertain face, He Yuan is so crooked, it is really embarrassing to be sandwiched between your Zheng family brothers and sisters.
"Mr. Zheng, this is my viewing record, you can take a look."
He Yuan handed over his notebook.
Zheng Haitao took the notebook without saying a word and looked at it carefully.
After a few minutes, he looked up at the other side in confusion,
"Manager He, according to your record, this film is quite outstanding, the plot, characters, rhythm, soundtrack, dubbing, and ending are all first-class, this, this,"
Zheng Haitao smiled bitterly,
"It's not that I don't believe you, I don't believe this rookie named Fang Yuchen, he is a complete newcomer, and many of the filming crew are second- and third-rate personnel, I know this, do you think he can make such a film."
"Hehe, what's that, or Mr. Zheng, I'll be busy first, and you can rest early."
Go to the side, he won't mix in the bad things of your Zheng family, anyway, what should be said is said, don't pull the bad things about losing a good movie on him in the future, he won't carry this pot.
"Wait a minute," Zheng Haitao thought for a while, he didn't look like He Yuan was perfunctory, could this be true,
"If there is a chance to show this film, I will go to see it once. ,”
He Yuan hurriedly opened the film festival profile he carried with him, and looked at it carefully,
"It seems that there is another one, but the time is not determined."
"Okay, I'll take a look when I'm sure."
It's not just for a good film, the most important thing is that he suddenly thought that if this is true, it means that his good sister has a good helper and a good capital, because Fang Yuchen and Xia Han are in the same group as his sister.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zheng, I will notify you as soon as possible."
Peat, I will never mix this in the future, who I love, what is the source of slander.
At the same time, Fang Yuchen, Wu Lan and Sheng Yihua sat with his assistant in the lobby of a top coffee shop, and quickly got to the point after greetings.
"Yu Chen, let's talk about your psychological expectations, what is the sharing agreement, let me listen to it, and see how big the gap between the two of us is."
Sheng Yihua asked for a cup of strong coffee, intending to refresh himself, and by this time he would be able to fall asleep within a minute of lying down on the bed.
"Mr. Sheng, it's not the first time we've met, so I'm welcome, 35 percent of the share, if this condition can be met, I can not have a share of the videotape."
As soon as Fang Yuchen's words came out, Sheng Yihua sneered and squirted out the coffee in his mouth,
"Xiao Fang, you are too inauthentic, you think about it and then say, do you know what the sharing conditions offered by the most independent producers are now, but it is only forty percent, it is a blockbuster that will definitely not accompany you, you, what are you, how much risk is it, have you considered it."
Sheng Yihua was a little angry.
"Mr. Sheng, we have thrown away the income from the distribution of video tapes, as long as the box office of the movie, this sharing condition is really not high."
Fang Yuchen definitely didn't feel that he was tall.
"Yu Chen, if a movie fails miserably in theaters, how much income do you think it will have in the distribution of video tapes, so you can't talk about this piece, it's better for you to propose a more reasonable sharing agreement."
Don't be too anxious, it's not good, don't be in a hurry.
"Mr. Na Sheng proposed a sharing condition, let's listen."
Fang Yuchen was not angry, a contract involving millions of dollars was never too happily reached.
"Yu Chen, you know that newcomers' new films are generally bought out, even if there are individual sharing agreements, the maximum is not more than ten percent, I will give you fifteen percent, which is very interesting, of course, you have to give up the sharing agreement of the videotape."
As soon as Sheng Yihua said it, Fang Yuchen smiled,
"It's not impossible to have a 15% sharing agreement, but the revenue from the videotape must be from our Qingzhou Studio,"
"Xiaofang, don't be too greedy, do you know how much a movie just costs for publicity, that is, five to ten percent of the estimated box office, plus a series of costs such as copying, transportation, and sealing, it seems that the company has taken 85 percent, but in fact, the risk paid by the company is still very large."
Sheng Yihua shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If the publicity and distribution costs and other expenses are shared by our Qingzhou Studio."
As soon as Fang Yuchen's words came out, Sheng Yihua was stunned, no, how optimistic this little party must be about his works, otherwise the average nameless director like this will leave immediately as long as he can sell his film copyright, as for whether he makes money or not, he will not care anymore, it is better to be a passerby from now on.
But Fang Yuchen actually wanted to share the publicity and distribution costs, do you know how much it is, if you don't get it right, you will lose all your money.
"A copy will cost 400 yuan, if it is more than 1,000 yuan, it can be reduced to more than 200 yuan, and 1,000 yuan is more than 200,000 yuan, this is just the expenditure of copies, what about publicity, how can you have a volume of several million yuan for this film, ten percent is hundreds of thousands, you are really not mistaken, I can only say that the risk is very high, you are sure you insist."
Sheng Yihua stared at Fang Yuchen.
"Of course, I have enough confidence in my work, and I believe that this film will definitely be another good box office, so why don't I invest more and get a good sharing agreement."
What Fang Yuchen wants to say is that if he doesn't get deeply involved himself, the film company probably won't make up its mind to reach a sharing agreement, and your director himself is not confident that anyone would dare to reach a sharing agreement with you.
Therefore, Fang Yuchen must take out his family background to deeply participate in the promotion and distribution of the film.
"Oh, that's it," Sheng Yihua tapped on the table and thought about it,
"Yu Chen, how to say it, I really want to agree to you immediately, and then talk about the conditions, but your film is different from ordinary small productions, I estimate that the production cost of the film will be three million, the volume is too large, and the sharing agreement is a bit beyond my purview, I have to ask the general manager, so you have to wait first."
To be honest, if it was a 15% sharing agreement, he could have made a decision immediately, but for a film of this size, the sharing agreement might be 25% to 35%, and he really couldn't call the shots.
"There's nothing wrong with that, I think what we have is time."
On the first day, Fang Yuchen was already very satisfied with this situation.
