After the plane took off, Bracker and Brian Burke were still quietly discussing the issue of funding.
Shen Lian's mind suddenly surged with the idea of injecting his own capital.
"Mission Impossible 4" will be the pinnacle of the entire series at the box office and word-of-mouth in the future, and even create a new era of agent action movies, without any questions about it, it is a classic movie.
And after he replaced Tom Tom to star, maybe the box office in North America will have a certain decline, and he is as proud as Shen Lian, and he has to admit that in terms of box office appeal in North America, he is not worthy of lifting shoes for Tom.
But in the Asian market, Shen Lian is absolutely sure that the box office will not be lower than that of "Mission Impossible 4" in his previous life.
As for the issue of funding, although the broadcast fees of "You from the Stars" and "The Hundred Sons of Qin Shi Mingyue" have not yet been paid, counting the endorsement fees of major brand advertisements and the remuneration of starring in "Source Code" and "Single Men and Women", Shen Lian's funds in his hands exceed 30 million yuan.
In addition, PO Chaoting's dividends and the Three Kingdoms Kill issued a year to bring him more than 15 million profits. Shen Lian's liquidity is still abundant.
Brackebird and Brian Burke were not seated next to them, only the two of them were engaged in a heated discussion, and the Shen Lian Lord Dòng sat next to Brackerbold.
"Hi, Gilbert. I've heard Brian say you're doing a great job, it's wonderful. Burke praised Shen Lian first.
"Two, are you worried about the funding of the movie?" Shen Lian got straight to the point.
After glancing at Bird, Burke continued: "Yes, the budget of the movie does deviate a little, but we are trying our best to find a way, you just need to play with your heart, you don't have to worry about the funding." "It's very reluctant, but in front of the crew, the top management must not reveal a trace of weakness.
Shen Lian glanced at Burke, and then said softly: "I can solve it, it depends on whether the company is willing to accept it." ”
"You're short of money now, can't I just come out with this money?" Shen Lian felt that he must take advantage of this opportunity to win part of the investment, this is a godsend, even if he didn't discuss it with Zhang Ting, Shen Lian knew that this was a sure win.
"Our funding gap is not a little, but a big one." Bird spoke.
"Ten million dollars, and I don't want my own basic salary." Shen Lian said very directly.
Shen Lian's previous contract with Paramount was $6 million plus 2% of the box office in Asia.
In this way, Shen Lian's investment amount reached 16 million US dollars, more than 10% of the investment amount of the entire movie.
"What I want to say is that Hollywood has unspoken rules in Hollywood, not that we will accept any capital that enters ......," Burke said after a moment's hesitation.
"I will not interfere with any arrangement of the filming work. I'm still doing my job. Shen Lian then promised. confirmed that "Mission Impossible 4" will definitely be a blockbuster movie, which is also an important reason why Shen Lian dares to make such a promise.
"$20 million in funding, plus your basic salary and a commission after taxes at the Asian box office. In exchange for a 15% cut of the global box office. Burke offered.
"Hey, Burke, you're kidding." Shen Lian was not a fool, and he could immediately see that Paramount was calculating himself.
The budget of the film is about 140 million, and he paid a full $26 million plus 2% of the Asian box office, and his stake should be at least 19.2%.
"The operation of capital in Hollywood is different from that of Wall Street. The dollars outside are not necessarily equivalent to our dollars. To be honest, Gilbert, you are so actively involved in the film, and you also have great expectations for the film, and you are confident that you will help the film open up the Asian film market, especially the Chinese film market, without the big impact on the North American box office. If your performance in this movie makes us believe that relying on you, we can make enough profits in Asia, your chances of participating in the series of "Mission Impossible" in the future will be much greater. Burke began to set Shen Lian up.
Unlike Shen Lian, who is full of confidence in "Mission Impossible 4", Burke is not so confident in the box office prospects of "Mission Impossible 4".
"Since we have common interests, our cooperation should be based on the principle of fairness and openness, and the difference between 15% and 19.2% is not ordinarily large. That's $5 million! Shen Lian spread his hands.
"Hehe, since you are interested in investing, then these differences are all discussed." originally thought that Shen Lian would intend to have some rights in the crew, but Shen Lian made it clear that he would not interfere in any matters, which made Burke feel a little relieved.
At least when Brother Tom was filming, he had a lot of rights for the crew during filming, and he was absolutely all-encompassing. There have been some problems with the director's crew
If Shen Lian still maintains his current identity as an actor while ensuring his commercial appeal, then Burke is not opposed to accepting his investment.
"Of course, filming in Moscow lasts about two weeks, and as long as the conditions are negotiated, I can go back to China to raise funds immediately after the scene in Moscow is completed." Shen Lian said.
I have already decided in my heart that even if there is only a 15% commission, I must participate in the investment of "Mission Impossible 4".
In the previous life, the global box office of "Mission Impossible 4" exceeded 1 billion US dollars, and after deducting various taxes and theater commissions, the profits accounted for by investors exceeded at least 400 million US dollars.
Even if it is only 15%, it can reach at least 60 million US dollars, and investing in this alone can triple this part of your assets.
Returning to his seat, Shen Lian immediately began to discuss this matter with Chen Hang beside him.
"I don't know what you think, what you say, how we do it." After years of getting along, Shen Lian's decisions were a great success, and Chen Hang had become accustomed to obeying Shen Lian's orders.
"But I probably don't have that much cash in my hand. And this cash is going to be invested in "Introduction to Architecture". This is a big problem. "The problem of money, Yongyuǎn is the most headache.
The cash flow in hand is just over 45 million, although the broadcast contract has been signed between Jiangsu Satellite TV and BD, but before the official broadcast, they will only give themselves a deposit of 15% at most, that is, about 12 million.
$10 million can't be scraped together, let alone $20 million.
