Chapter 507 Obediently Longdling Dong (Second Update)
250 million 3 into 9, the number related to the interest is 97.5 million US dollars, and 300 million 3 into 3 is 99 million US dollars, which is an additional benefit of 1.5 million US dollars, but Joseph Monroe directly changed his face and scolded Chen Jin for being too greedy, what is this for.
Joseph Monroe is known for his greed in the film industry, but he said that the playboy is greedy, which is really Chen Jin forced him hard, because the film distribution fee here cannot be considered in terms of commercial and value interests, perhaps in terms of absolute expected value of interests, Chen Jin's methods are too spicy.
Stallone was shocked when he listened to it, thinking that the playboy's bite was only afraid that it would bite Joseph Monroe's heart and liver, because at this time, Joseph Monroe's absolute expectation was 300 million 300 percent nine, no matter whether you Chen Jin changed from 250 million to 300 million or 400 million, the main body's distribution fee share is unchanged from 300 to 9, but Chen Jin cut 6% in one bite.
Obediently Longdidong, fried green onions with leeks, 250 million US dollars into 300 million US dollars is indeed a leap, but not qualitative, if it becomes 500 million, it is different, of course, 250 million into 300 million, which also represents an increase in attendance and relative yield, to put it simply, the same day, labor costs and other expenses remain unchanged, but the income has increased.
However, this increase is definitely not to the point that the distribution fee has changed from three into nine to three into three, of course, if it is Universal and they come, this number, Joseph Monroe has already snickered, but Chen Jin's proposal is obviously the meaning of independent release, you have seen that theater pick up independent release films, do not bite hard. It's not bullying, it's the rule.
"Mr. Monroe, as for the interpretation of the word greed, I think so, under reasonable demand, the pursuit of the greatest profit is what each person or team strives to pursue, such as you, such as me." No matter what Joseph Monroe thought, Chen Jin looked calm.
"Young man, I'm not one of those fools," Joseph Monroe scoffed, "and your so-called reasonable demands are your own standards, not the rules of the industry, as I do." ”
"But, Mr. Monroe, who sets the rules of this industry, or is he really unshakable?" Chen Jin had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, looking very complacent, confident, and even proud.
The strong man decides everything, Joseph Monroe understands what Chen Jin said, he has been circling because of Chen Jin's current identity, otherwise, when Chen Jin spit out the 300 million three, he had already spat Chen Jin's face, shook his sleeves and left.
Behind Chen Jin is the Jinchen Film Group, which is not a small company, it is a large film company that invested in 15 films last year and had a box office of nearly 5 billion US dollars, and now there is a saying that the Jinchen Film Group will surpass Paramount Pictures in the future and become the largest film group in the United States.
Although Chen Jin is very disdainful, because Paramount will soon disappear, but others don't know, and he has made almost 20 films in the first half of the year, and the already released "Toy Story 1" has earned more than $396 million at the global box office, and "Tales of the Night 1" has also earned $188 million, which is an indisputable continuation of last year's success, and also makes the doubt that he will be silent this year is self-defeating.
There are almost 20 films in the first half of the year, and there will only be more in the second half of the year, this is what Jin Chen Film Group and Chen Jin himself said, if it reaches 40 films a year, and it is still so popular, it has become the largest film force in the film industry, and the distributor can rely on movies to eat, and Chen Jin is obviously not someone they can easily offend. "In that case, young man, I think we'd better go back to what we were, and leave it at that, so as not to hurt our relationship too much." Joseph Monroe suddenly smiled slightly, and answered very calmly, "What do you think?" ”
He is a general, which means that I will not give you a theatrical release, see what you do, Stallone has changed his face a little, but Chen Jin is still very calm and shrugged, "Mr. Monroe is right, however, in addition to the series of "The Expendables", in the second half of the year, I will also strive for more distribution opportunities, if, I mean, several movies, the box office of one billion dollars because of Mr. Monroe's insistence, everyone will receive about 10% less profit, I think, they will probably think that Mr. Monroe is old." ”
"You're threatening me, boy." Joseph Monroe squinted his eyes, very gloomy, obviously, this is the threat of eating fruits, if Joseph Monroe is like Chen Jin said, messing up everyone's business, once or twice can be said, but, too many times, Joseph Monroe is afraid that it will be difficult to continue in the position of chairman.
"No, dear Mr. Monroe, I'm just following your opinion, what do you think?" If you threaten me, I will threaten you, Chen Jin, this little fox, is not polite at all, and he is not afraid, because his confidence is too much, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, he is a big deal to distribute it to the world, and Joseph Monroe will definitely not release his film, but Joseph Monroe will be questioned because of this, so at the beginning of the game, although Joseph Monroe wants to seize the initiative, he has always been in a weak position.
He is not fighting alone, and Chen Jin can be said to be alone, and sometimes, it is not a good thing to have more people.
"Well, let's be honest, King, how much do you want?" Joseph Monroe stared at Chen Jin for a long time, but Chen Jin was not flustered at all, and politely added coffee to him, and then looked at him with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Monroe, for being a respectable elder." The atmosphere eased slightly, Chen Jin first came to a nice sentence, and then said the conditions, "Since you are willing to show the greatest sincerity, then we will no longer insist, this is good, 250 million, 30 into 5, what do you think?" ”
Joseph Monroe smiled, he was laughing at Chen Jin for being cunning and shameless enough, the share did rise, but the box office fell back in an uproar, it was obvious that 250 million was the most sure of Chen Jin, 300 million, and he himself was not sure.
Of course, 250 million US dollars is already a very high box office, after all, the most in a year are the kind of 350 million, 100 million is already a high box office, 200 million is already rare, as for 450 million, it is crazy to release one a year.
Joseph Monroe smiled, took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat, seemed to have a good idea, and seemed to think for a while before continuing: "That's it, young man, 250 million, three out of eight, but, as compensation, in the second half of the year, you get the independent release of the film, we must make a deal at forty percent, of course, I won't make it difficult for you, this time, the release of "Spy 1", I will accept the conditions of William Campbell's side, which can be regarded as giving you a face." ”
Stallone was already smiling, which made Joseph Monroe more sure, but Chen Jin was directly happy, laughing, and even the coffee he had just drunk almost spit out, which made Joseph Monroe have some bad premonitions.
Chen Jin finished laughing, looked at Joseph Monroe with burning eyes, and suddenly shook his head, "Dear Mr. Monroe, I think we will only talk about the release of "The Expendables 1" now, perhaps, we can also add the movie in the second half of this year, but in the case of "Spy in Spy 1", we should put it aside for the time being." Because that has nothing to do with me. "..., smart people understand smart people's calculations, Joseph Monroe saw Chen Jin's expression, he knew that he saw through himself, but he still shrugged, "It can't be said that it has nothing to do with you, if it is stiff, the film cannot be released, or the delay in the release will have an impact on you and your company's plans, and even revenue." ”
"Then I'll just arrange the schedule again, so many days a year, or even next year, what do you think, respected Mr. Monroe." Chen Jin looked at Joseph Monroe with a smile and said jokingly, but then said with a straight face: "Okay, Mr. Monroe, I think, there is no need for us to be like that anymore, what do you think?" ”
"Actually, you and I both know that if it were other films, you could indeed target Mr. William Campbell, but you have to agree to 30% of "Spy 1", because there are too many interests entangled in this movie, not only 21st Century Fox, but also Universal, Paramount, they also extorted benefits from William Campbell, and now they are watching the show, but in the end, if necessary, they will definitely put pressure on you together, you should know that in front of them, You are vulnerable, and that can never change. ”
Joseph Monroe had to praise Chen Jin for being smart enough and shrugged, "That's right, young man, you're right, but, you have to know that if you want to publish independently, without my help, it is simply impossible, and because of this, we will be under a lot of pressure." ”
This is a fact, although sooner or later the Jinchen Film Group will intervene in the distribution, whether it is in the United States or overseas, but sooner or later, this day will be a huge interest for large film production and distribution companies such as Universal, in this case, they will definitely set up some obstacles to the Jinchen Group, one of which must include the theater, therefore, for the cooperation between the theater and the Jinchen Film Group, they will block, and even threaten the theater, until the Jinchen Film Group is so strong that they can no longer control it.
