……

Hearing strange noises in the house late at night is an experience that almost everyone has experienced.

Daniel smiled even more and said, "Oh, Timmy, I'm very sorry, but if you want to move, you can find Liu from Hong Kong to be in charge!" ”

said, introduced Liu Dehua to them, "Liu is the investor and starring in this film!" ”

At the same time, Wang Jing and Lin Ze were also introduced, "This is the director Mr. Wang Jing, and the screenwriter Mr. Lin Ze~" When mentioning Lin Ze, he also specially added, "Mr. Lin Ze is only eighteen years old this year!" ”

"Wow~" Those people couldn't believe it.

Timmy looked at Lin Ze and exclaimed, "Eighteen years old, God, this is incredible!" ”

In the American film and television drama industry, screenwriters have a considerable status and right to speak, especially in the production of TV dramas.

Wang Jing took the DV to pat their reactions, and said with a smile: "Azeke is not only young, he is known as a genius in Hong Kong, he has only written a few songs, but he has dominated the top few ...... Hong Kong charts"

Timmy said to Lin Ze in surprise: "Wow, Lin, you can still write songs?" ”

Lin Ze touched his nose, smiled, and changed the topic: "Ms. Timmy, do you think there will be a market for our movie?" ”

Timmy is from the Propaganda Department, "Of course there is, the movie itself is very good, and the screenwriter is so young, this is a propaganda point in itself!" ”

Daniel said: "Ah, so Timmy did you approve of signing this movie?" ”

Timmy shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Such a good movie, why don't you sign it?" She looked at Jack from the finance department, "Jack, what is your opinion?" ”

Jack nodded excitedly, "Of course, I believe he is much more terrifying than the witch of the craftsman!" ”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

After the decision was made by Palamon Pictures, Liu Dehua and the three were secretly overjoyed.

Wang Jing said on the side: "Haha, your reaction to watching the movie just now can also be used as promotional materials!" As he spoke, he shook the DV in his hand.

Jack stroked his face and said, "Oh no! ”

Timmy smiled: "Jack, for the sake of the movie, you should sacrifice your handsome image!" ”

Several people returned to Daniel's office.

Daniel called someone from the legal department, sent the contract, handed it to Liu Dehua and said, "Liu, you take a look at the contract first, if it is when we sign it?" ”

Liu Dehua looked at it, there were two contracts, one was a buyout contract, and the other was a sharing contract.

On the buyout contract, a buyout price of $2 million was signed; In terms of the sharing contract, there is a standard sharing ratio: 35% for the producer, 17% for the distributor, and 48% for the projection.

Liu Dehua glanced at the 2 million buyout contract, and his heart jumped, he made several movies this year, and the box office of those movies was only about 167 million Hong Kong dollars each, right?

This trip to Hollywood, it took a few days, tens of thousands of dollars, to make a movie, you can get 2 million US dollars, which is really incredible!

After Liu Dehua took a general look at the contract, he handed it to Wang Jing beside him, Wang Jing also looked at it, was also slightly surprised, and handed it to Lin Ze.

Lin Ze glanced at the buyout contract and didn't pay attention to it, more than 40,000 screens in the United States, 2 million US dollars, in fact, is nothing.

I looked at the contract again.

There is nothing wrong with the contract itself, except that the share is 35%......

That's too low!

As far as he knows, Hollywood box office sharing, blockbusters use split sharing, the first two or two weeks of release, the producer can get 90% of the box office, and then reduce the 10% share every week, this method ensures the interests of the producer to the greatest extent.

For films that are not satisfactory at the box office, for the sake of protecting the producer, there is a protective contract, which can get about 60% of the box office share.

For general movies, the producer can probably get about 45%~50% of the box office.

"Aze, how's it going?" Wang Jing asked.

Liu Dehua also looked at it.

Lin Ze frowned slightly, and said to Daniel: "Mr. Daniel, what is the proportion of this box office share...... Hehe, as far as I know, Hollywood's lowest share ratio is also 45%, isn't that low? ”

Daniel was surprised when he heard this, he smiled and shrugged, "Lin, that's just a standard contract prepared by the legal department, don't take it seriously, hehe, then how much do you think is appropriate?" ”

Lin Ze thought for a moment.

Liu Dehua and Wang Jing don't know the inside story of Hollywood, and when they saw that Lin Ze was right, they simply let him go, he won't come out of himself, right?

Lin Ze said: "50%! ”

"Impossible!" Daniel vetoed, "Lin, you are not famous in Hollywood, and this movie costs tens of thousands of dollars, and we still have to promote ......"

Lin Ze said: "No, Daniel, although Andy has not starred in Hollywood movies, he is very famous in the Chinese circle, and he won the MTV Film Award for Asian Outstanding All-round Artist in 96!" ”

Daniel was silent, but still couldn't agree, "50% is impossible!" ”

Lin Ze shrugged.

Daniel said, "...... 40%。 Couldn't have been more! ”

Lin Ze shook his head and said, "Although this movie is not the first DV movie, if the box office surpasses the first one, wouldn't the gimmick be even bigger?" ……”

Daniel thought for a moment.

Lin Ze said: "There is more than one film company in Hollywood! ”

Daniel's eyelids jumped.

Hollywood isn't the Palong family anymore! Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures......

Especially Warner Bros., behind which stands the same media giant Times Company!

Lin Ze said: "Mr. Daniel, we don't ask for much, let's take a step back, how about a minimum score of 45% in Hollywood?" ”

"Hmm......" Daniel groaned, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Okay, Lin, you convinced me!" ”

Lin Ze smiled, was overjoyed, stood up and walked over, stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Daniel, I believe that as a veteran Hollywood film company, the first DV movie in history, although it was won by Yijiang Entertainment, we will definitely catch up, and this movie will definitely surpass the witch!" ”

Daniel shook hands with Lin Ze and said, "I hope!" ”

The colleagues in the legal department prepared a new contract, and after Daniel signed it with Liu Dehua on behalf of Palamon, the next promotion, the arrangement of premieres, screenings and other things were led by Palamon, and Lin Ze and others only needed to assist when needed.

As Asians, they still ignore a lot of things.

They know that in the United States, there is a Christmas in December, so there is a Christmas schedule.

But I didn't expect that in fact, there is a festival in the main area where English is popular: Halloween on October 31 every year! Similarly, following the festive atmosphere, during this period of time, a convention was formed in almost all theaters to meet to show horror films.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

On October 19th, TOEFL Ramon was backed by the media giant, Wia Combe.

On the same day, some Chinese communities and forums on the Internet broke out photos of Liu Dehua suspected of living in a villa with Zhu Liqian!

The so-called picture and truth, this exposure, even if it goes viral in the circle, has been paid more attention by the Asian media.

For a time, Liu Dehua was in the United States, and Asian entertainment media reported his affair with Zhu Liqian.

Two days later, the small building that Liu Dehua was waiting for expired, and he stayed in a medium-grade hotel in Hollywood.

Halloween is approaching, and many TV and radio stations in the United States reported another news, saying that when the top management of Paramount was evaluating whether a certain film could be signed and released, they were frightened by the movie.

There are pictures and truths, and several photos of genuine Paramon executives being frightened have also been leaked, and it is said that the executives are angry and are investigating internally.

For a time, the American people reacted differently.

Curious, what kind of horror movie is it, and people who watch movies as a profession are scared?

There are also those who disdain, those high-level executives will only sit in the office, and they will be scared like that by a movie, hum......

Two days later, when a senior executive of Palamon was interviewed by a reporter, he didn't pay attention for a while, and casually talked about Yijiang Entertainment and the witch team, because of the disagreement in the box office distribution, and the matter of the lawsuit, his words and demeanor were very disdainful, and threatened that although the pioneer of DV movies is Yijiang Entertainment, they have found a DV movie that will inevitably surpass the witch, and it will premiere in the near future!

On October 25th, the ghost premiere at the Z National Theater in Hollywood!

The president of Lamont Pictures has also seen the ghost, and at first glance, he is also frightened, and his confidence is more terrifying than that of a witch!

So for this premiere, he resolutely came forward and invited many Hollywood stars, directors, and of course, most of the Chinese actors and directors who are developing in Hollywood also came.

is filming in country Z, and Fa Ge, who can't leave, also asked someone to send a flower basket!

Liu Dehua, Wang Jing, Lin Ze, as well as Zhu Liqian, Fang Jian, etc., of course, also participated in the premiere.

Not to mention Lin Ze, even Liu Dehua is the first time to see so many Hollywood stars and big names!

He secretly exclaimed in his heart, Paramon really deserves to be one of the top giants in Hollywood, and his face is big!

At the same time, there were a few special guests, that is, the president and senior management of Yijiang Entertainment.

Naturally, they did not come to congratulate, but to pour cold water!
