"If that's the case, I think you don't have to worry about it at all, I thought of a way, you can see if you can, if you can, you can follow this," Wang Zhengfei said. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info [all in *library $ book*.ss.\]
This Smith is so shameless, now they are talking about box office dividends, not buyouts, they can divide 17% of the box office out of thin air, what risk do they have, it's really nonsense out of thin air
Generally, the way to sell movies overseas is nothing more than dividends or buyouts, both methods are pros and cons, if the sales are good, then the dividends are naturally more cost-effective, if the sales are not good, of course, it is more beneficial to buy out, of course, for the distributor, it is the opposite algorithm to the producer.
And now, although "Qin Shi Mingyue" has not yet been released in the United States, but with its own high-quality quality, as well as the achievements made in Asia, if you want to say that you will agree to buy out, Smith will not believe it, and in the end it can only be a dividend, but although it is a dividend, relatively speaking, there are various differences, from one to three into five, there is a way in this, anyway, how much can they lower the distributor, and the final part of the depression is their benefit.
Of course, for Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan, for the door and door in it, it is also a door clear, and they are also doing it now, can they not know about the cat in it?
Although Xingchen Entertainment is now only endorsing and distributing Xingchen Entertainment's own company's works, they are also very clear about various doorways, how can Lionsgate succeed
"I thought of a way, so that we each take a step back, and no one needs to pay too much" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, "Let's just divide it according to the average box office results."
"How to divide" Smith also came to be interested, how to divide this.
"Let's agree that if the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue" in the United States is less than 20 million, we only need a 50% dividend, if it is higher than 20 million, we ask for a 10% dividend, higher than 50 million, we ask for 15% of the dividend, higher than 100 million, we ask for 20% of the dividend, if the box office is higher than 150 million, we ask for 30 percent, if the box office is fortunate to be higher than 200 million, we ask for 10% of the box office" Wang Zhengfei said an answer that he had been thinking about for a long time.
The share ratio of this plan has increased from 5% to 10% at the beginning, and the span is getting bigger and bigger, and even higher than the international practice in the end, which is a bit scary to watch.
Smith was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wang Zhengfei to propose this kind of plan, almost immediately, he wanted to say, this is impossible, the dividends, if he dares to agree to come down, he will go back to be fired by the board of directors, American companies are private and not state-owned enterprises, to fire an individual, almost more difficult than to ascend to the sky, they said to fire, then the dismissal will not talk about face at all.
However, seeing Wang Zhengfei's smiling face, he immediately calmed down and thought about it, this plan does look very terrible from behind, but there is a premise, that is, in the case of a box office hit.
If it is a poor box office performance, then naturally it will only ask for 100%, or even only 5% box office dividends, they will definitely not lose, and even make a small profit, in fact, Smith's plan is definitely not a bottom-line plan, in fact, before he came, the company had given him a bottom-line plan, if it can be completed according to the original proposal, it will naturally be the best, how much more money can they make, although this possibility is not high, but it is still possible, isn't it?
And the most important thing is that the company's authority to Smith is far more than one percent, or even one and a half percent, two percent, in fact, it is possible, as long as it is not higher than the bottom line in the heart, then everything is negotiable.
If the box office is a big hit, even if it is divided into Xingchen Entertainment, they can still be said to make a lot of money, after all, they are to put it bluntly, in fact, it is a distribution company, and where they really pay money, they don't need to make a move, so they can occupy more than one percent of the dividends, where to find this kind of good thing, even if the dividends are given to Xingchen Entertainment, the income is far beyond their imagination, and it can be said that it is full of money.
Gao Yan was also taken aback by what Wang Zhengfei said, because Wang Zhengfei had not discussed this plan with him at all, but the time was so tight, he met Smith as soon as he arrived, and there was really no time to communicate, but Gao Yan quickly reacted, this plan looks a little unfavorable to Xingchen Entertainment, after all, if you want to get a satisfactory answer in terms of dividends, it must be a good score, but in fact, it is quite beneficial to Xingchen Entertainment, if you can really have the box office that Wang Zhengfei said, That's definitely advantageous, and it's very beneficial, Cheng's dividends are definitely far beyond his expectations, even if it fails, according to the proportion of dividends, it can only be divided into five percent, which is much stronger than the price of being bought out under normal circumstances, and originally Xingchen Entertainment had no intention of entering Hollywood at this time, so if it can log in to the United States at this time, it will be a complete surprise.
For both parties, this plan has an explanation, and it will not damage the core interests, for both parties, it is a business that will make sure that there is no loss, and how much you can earn is not how much this dividend is, but whether the quality of this "Qin Shi Mingyue" is good enough, and whether it can attract American audiences to enter the cinema, that is to say, the success or failure is still on "Qin Shi Mingyue" itself.
"Mr. Wang, this is a very good idea, but I can't make the decision on such a big matter, I think I still need to call back to China to consult, if you don't mind, this meeting will be another day" Smith stood up and said, this problem involves too many things, Cheng has exceeded the bottom line given by the company, whether it can be completed actually depends on the meaning of the board of directors, he does not have this right.
"Didn't the company have full authority to deal with it before you came?" Wang Zhengfei asked with a smile.
Smith's face was a little embarrassed, and he naturally had carte blanche to deal with it, but it needed to be within the given range of the company.
Seeing Smith's expression, Wang Zhengfei understood, naturally there must be something that exceeds the bottom line that Smith can handle, but where will it appear, at first glance, it can only be in the proportion of sharing, that is to say, Cheng has actually exceeded the psychological bottom line of Lionsgate, and the psychology cursed, this Lionsgate Pictures is really not ordinary black, the achievements are more than the bottom line, their wishful thinking is really not ordinarily loud, they don't need to do anything particularly tiring, You can get more than 10% of the share.
Wang Zhengfei sneered psychologically, and at this time, Gao Yan stood up and said, "Since this is the case, then we will wait for Mr. Smith's good news in Beijing."
"Okay, then I'll go back and inform the board first," Smith said, standing up to say goodbye.
Looking at the back of Smith leaving, Wang Zhengfei suddenly smiled and said: "This foreigner is really cunning."
"But what about cunning." Gao Yan was also in a good mood and said, when it comes to this matter, it has actually been confirmed, basically it is not a big problem, he talked to Smith before, Smith just bit the dividend ratio of one percent and refused to let go, he was angry and wanted to smash the table, and even he wanted to simply talk about the collapse several times, wait for the next company to come to the door, or seal it for a few years, and then find a company to release it, but Wang Zhengfei immediately proposed a solution, and it was not in vain that he specially found Wang Zhengfei. There is still a way, after this matter is solved, Xingchen Entertainment must have gone to a big step, not to mention the money earned, after the key entry into the United States, in the eyes of today's people, it seems to be plated with a layer of gold, that is golden light, no matter what is under the golden light, but at least it looks much more brilliant on the surface, "Let him be treacherous like a ghost, it's not to drink our footwashing water"
"Hahaha, but you can't underestimate these Yankees" Wang Zhengfei said after laughing, "Although they only like that one-line way of thinking, but once they touch the interests, they will be cunning like foxes, and they will definitely not be good birds."
"Well, I know, but how did you come up with this plan?" asked Gao Yan.
"Even when you were on the plane, didn't you say you couldn't convince him? He is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, in terms of money, it is not easy to move them" Wang Zhengfei said, "Only in this way can both sides give up a step, but although this is the case, the risk is still very high, if the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue" in the United States is not high, then we will lose a lot"
"What's the loss, we've actually made it, haven't we? We didn't want to enter the United States, but now that this Smith has come to the door, we don't have any losses, but we have made a lot of money, right" Gao Yan said with a smile, "No matter what this plan says, it's much stronger than a buyout."
As soon as Gao Yan said this, Wang Zhengfei's anxiety was much smaller, and it was true to think about it, relatively speaking, the buyout, it was almost half sold and half given, and it was almost a big opening reward
Now this dividend ratio looks a bit dangerous, but it is better than a buyout.
"Well, yes, is there anything else? It's okay, I'll go first, I still have some problems," Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"What's so urgent, I wanted to invite you to dinner," Gao Yan asked a little surprised.
"It's nothing to accompany Dandan's girl to see her grandparents, Dandan grew up with her grandparents since she was a child, didn't she go to our house for the Chinese New Year this year, so I didn't go back to Beijing to visit my grandparents, and now I am also in Beijing, so I just accompanied her to visit, after all, I haven't visited the two old people now, no matter how you look at it, it's unreasonable, right?" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"Hahaha, too, you can go and have a look," Gao Yan said with a smile, "Then let's eat next time, you can go and get busy yourself"
"Well, I know" Wang Zhengfei walked out after speaking, returned to Vo Dan's resting place, and saw Dan Vo playing a game very bored.
"Dandan, we can go," Wang Zhengfei said.
"You're going to be flying so soon, you're going to talk," Danh Vo said.
"Well, we don't have much to say, it'll be fine soon," Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go, I just called my grandfather and told them that I want to go back, wait a minute, we have a mouthful, my grandmother said that she would cook dumplings herself" Dan Vo said with a smile. "I haven't eaten the dumplings made by my grandmother for a long time, and I only ate them when I was a child."
"That's great" Although Wang Zhengfei was a little apprehensive in his heart, he was still very happy in front of Danh Vo.
The two went downstairs together, neither of them had a car in Beijing, and even if there was a car, it would not be very good in terms of the degree of traffic jam of this pit father, and as far as Dan Vo said, this place is actually not very far from where their grandfather lives.
The two talked and laughed all the way to Grandpa Vo's house.
Suddenly, Wang Zhengfei's eyes caught a glimpse of two very familiar people walking not far away, a man and a woman, leaning together very intimately.
Wang Zhengfei recognized it at a glance, that was not Wang Zhengfei's ex-girlfriend, Susan, and the person she relied on was not her previous boyfriend Zhang Shaoquan, but another acquaintance of Wang Zhengfei, Li Junhao (this role is played by Li Junhao), this Li Junhao is Wang Zhengfei's former high school classmate, belongs to the relatively inconspicuous person, ordinary people will never pay much attention to him, and the reason why Wang Zhengfei is very impressed is that he used to be Susan's suitor, at that time, for Wang Zhengfei, it was naturally annoying, But fortunately, the other party just loves Susan, because she knows that Wang Zhengfei is her boyfriend, so she didn't do anything very good and say anything inappropriate, which is relatively unique among Susan's many suitors, Wang Zhengfei is more impressed by this, and his impression is also better, but later after graduating from high school, I heard that he was admitted to Beijing, but I didn't expect to see him here, and it seems that the relationship between the two is quite good, and it seems that they have become boyfriend and girlfriend.
