γBroadcastγPay attention to "Biquge www.biquge.info Reading", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
Since something has been decided, Ke Zihua will do his best to do it well.
Therefore, on the issue of copyright, he hopes to make a breakthrough, "Fifteen years of copyright? It feels a little less. β
Thinking that even if he had the copyright for fifteen years, he wouldn't be able to make a few sequels, Ke Zihua couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
It's not that he's too greedy, he wants to shoot Iron Man years in advance, or in an almost independent way, not only to pay out of his own pocket to solve the shooting funds, but also to share most of the profit margins.
100 million US dollars, although it seems tempting, is by no means that simple to do!
What's more, even if he bothers to make a movie, who can guarantee that he will definitely make money? It's nice not to lose everything.
But even so, Ke Zihua is determined to take on a challenge.
After crossing, the road ahead will be vast, and even if he fails, he can afford it!
After watching from the side for a long time, Ke Zihua gradually entered the role, and saw him knock on the table, and asked Jerry intentionally and unintentionally: "Jerry, I don't understand the truth of this, but I think profit sharing is more sincere than cash payment?" β
Jerry nodded and said with great certainty: "Although even if you get a profit share, you may not make the expected profits, but it is true that more people are willing to use the share instead of cash, which is the most sincere way to trade in the circle!" β
Then Ke Zihua fell silent, because he suddenly thought that at this time, there seemed to be a movie miracle being staged, that is, "Blair the Witch", if he remembered correctly, now this classic film that has created a lot of history is still being released.
The cost of making zuΓ² is only 30,000 euros, but it has created a super high box office of 300 million!
"I'm afraid everyone will be shocked by this, right? If I can make "Iron Man" well, shouldn't I also strive for more benefits? β
Just when he was stunned, Kevin couldn't hold his breath anymore. On the issue of asking for money or sharing, in fact, he already knew what to choose in his heart, but at the juncture of the negotiation, Kevin also habitually shirked and refused.
That's a 10% profit share!
If only it was because one of his not very clever wrists flew away. It was definitely a serious mistake on his part, and he could not allow such a thing to happen.
But Ke Zihua was stunned not in the direction of him, but raised his chin and stared at the chandelier on the ceiling, and he didn't even call Ke Zihua twice.
Kevin was so anxious that he slapped the table, and then said to Ke Zihua, who had just turned his gaze to him, "I decided." Thirty years of copyright in exchange for your 10% profit share! β
"But you have to allow us to have the right to take back the copyright of Iron Man at a certain time, for example, if you don't have plans to make a sequel in a few years, then we can pay some compensation according to a certain percentage, and then completely take back the copyright."
Ke Zihua knew that they were going to amplify the trick, "You mean, after I make the first part, if I don't make a sequel within a certain number of years, and you plan to continue filming, you can take back the copyright?" β
Without waiting for Kevin to speak. Nick, who was sitting next to him, interjected: "The interval between each sequel cannot exceed three years at most, otherwise we have the right to take it back!" β
Ke Zihua applauded Nick and praised: "Kevin, I have to say that you have a good partner, and your cooperation is really seamless." β
"I haven't even figured out how to shoot the first part now, but you guys have taken into account everything about the continuous episodes, and you still stipulate that I will do one every three years, which is really embarrassing."
"According to you, I have to give you my life every three years. And then watch you take most of the profits, regardless of whether I lose or earn, right? β
Kevin blushed when Ke Zihua said it, this was indeed too much, and Nick was too anxious. actually told them what they had studied for a long time, and the countermeasures were all said.
But it is obvious that it is not appropriate to use such a strategy to treat Ke Zihua.
However, since Nick has already proposed it, he will not veto all of them, so he said to Ke Zihua: "Three years is a bit short, after all, no one can guarantee that every part will be earned." Then extend the time to five years, what do you think? β
Now that the negotiation has become dominated by Ke Zihua, neither Jerry nor Cage can interject, but they both shake their heads at Ke Zihua, suggesting that he should not agree to such additional conditions.
Unexpectedly, Ke Zihua agreed without even thinking about it, and then said: "I agreed to your condition, should you also be courteous?" β
"How?"
So, Ke Zihua also released his big move, "I ask that the profit sharing ratio be determined according to the box office!" β
Hearing him say this, everyone felt incomprehensible, even if Cage and Jerry were not involved in the plans of the two companies, they both understood that the reason for such negotiations was because the two companies had put Iron Man on the filming schedule.
Well, they've definitely done the market research, and even the approximate budget has been made!
If this plan was just an idea in their minds, they wouldn't be sitting at the same table anyway, and no film company would be so untargeted.
So this seemingly unbelievable negotiation is actually not as magical as imagined, just a few people think about it, and then everyone starts to sit down and study the profit sharing of the movie, no matter how stupid people are, they can't do such a thing?
Afraid that Ke Zihua would suffer a loss, Jerry had no choice but to take over the topic and ask straight to the point: "What is your prediction for the box office of "Iron Man"?" β
Kevin looked at Shirley and saw that she nodded in agreement, and then said, "About 250 million to 300 million, the global box office." β
Ke Zihua said secretly: "Sure enough, as I expected, they still underestimated the value of Iron Man." β
After thanking Jerry, Ke Zihua continued: "You know, a large part of the reason why I took on this movie is because I like Iron Man, and it can be said that this is a big gamble for me. β
"So, if I raise the antchees, will you keep up?"
Everyone is a smart person, and at this time they all understood what Ke Zihua meant, that is, if the box office is lower than a certain point. Ke Zihua will give up a part of the profit share, but if it is higher than a certain value, Ke Zihua is entitled to more profits.
This is not Ke Zihua's first creation, but few people will use it. Because to do so would be to put yourself to death!
Cage couldn't help it, looked at Ke Zihua with a very strange gaze, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you think of this way?" Isn't it good to be steady? β
For the first time, he became suspicious of Ke Zihua, and there was a very big risk. If he does this again, then I'm afraid Ke Zihua will even get into it himself.
But what he doesn't know is that Ke Zihua has absolute confidence in Iron Man's ability to attract money, not to mention that even if the first part fails to meet expectations, he can still look forward to the sequel later.
For him, the most important issue now is to add more weight to himself, but everyone has a different definition of this issue.
He values Iron Man's follow-up interests, while others keep their eyes firmly on the immediate interests.
Ke Zihua gently patted Cage's shoulder. Motioning for him to believe in himself, he then told Kevin and Shirley his plan.
"The box office is less than 100 million, except for the share given to the producer, I don't want a penny!"
"If the box office is between 100 million and 200 million, then I only need 10% of the profit share. If it reaches more than 200 million, I will take 20% of the 350 million or less. β
"However, if the global box office exceeds 350 million, I want a 30% share!"
Shirley nodded to Kevin, and then said, "Although I want to persuade you too, it is clear that your plan is more beneficial to us. But I don't understand what you're trying to do here? β
Ke Zihua smiled confidently, and then said to her, "Shirley, please listen to me and tell me about my plan, okay?" β
"And?"
Shirley was a little surprised, she thought that Ke Zihua had already said all the plans. hurriedly said: "Then you say, let's listen." β
Ke Zihua continued: "If the box office exceeds 400 million, then I will get 40% of the profit share!" β
Kevin confirmed: "That is to say, when the box office reaches 400 million, you will be equivalent to getting the copyright of Iron Man for 35 years completely free, but the restriction of a sequel in five years is still there, right?" β
Ke Zihua snapped his fingers. "That's right, that's what it means, if you think it's okay, I don't have any problem."
Kevin and Shirley exchanged glances, and then said: "If that's the case, we don't have any problems, in fact, this means that you have resisted most of the risks on yourself, but instead make us almost riskless, if you can really do this, you deserve it." β
Subsequently, Ke Zihua continued: "Although it is almost impossible, I still want to say, you know that I have paid so much and deserve more discounts, right? β
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Steve interjected and quipped, "We all know you're going to tell you about your 500 million plan, haha." β
Ke Zihua smiled at him and clarified: "One thing I have to remind you is that the proportion I said is what I deserve, excluding the part given to the producer, as for the future to invite the director and actors to pay, I will be responsible, this is no problem, right?" β
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Ke Zihua continued: "Okay, then I'll talk about my 500 million plan, as long as it reaches 500 million, I will take 50% of it!" β
Kevin couldn't help but be a little funny, this kid is still a kid after all, it's so whimsical, they're talking about "Iron Man", not "Titanic", and he's not James Cameron!
Although they are all born in stunt design, and even Ke Zihua himself can do stunt performances, this does not explain anything.
So Kevin said: "Ke, I can understand your feelings, and I also appreciate your courage and imagination. β
"But you see it's almost eleven o'clock now, can we talk about something realistic, and then we all go home and sleep?"
Ke Zihua couldn't help but smile, and then said: "Okay, then I'll make a long story short, if all the Iron Man series movies I make in the future exceed 600 million at the box office, then I ask for 60% of the profit share, and I have to write these terms into the contract." β
Kevin seemed to be in a hurry to go home, and after listening to it, he stood up and said, "Okay, since you're going to have a big gamble, then I'll accompany you, just do as you say." β
"Shirley, what do you think?"
Shirley hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded lightly and said, "I have no objection." β
Seeing that the negotiations were finally completed, Kevin cheered, "Then let's draft the contract, I hope that by the end of this week, we can sign a formal contract." β
"If I can't get home before midnight, my wife will have to turn against me, today is her birthday!"
