If a Chinese film is released in North America, if it is a buyout of the copyright, only the copyright fee will be paid. If it is a guaranteed account, in addition to the guaranteed buyout fee, you can also make a little less money. In the case of a split method, it is always 13% to 17% of the split. The higher the box office, the higher the share given. And Hollywood blockbusters, except for 20 movies a year, which are 35% shared, the rest are also about the same price.

Shao Shuaijun looked at the huge amount of more than 20 million allocated by Lionsgate, and couldn't help but sigh: "Lao Mei's money is really easy to make, 17% of it is divided into four families, and it can also be divided into more than 20 million." If you directly open a company in the United States, shoot and invest in movies directly, how much should you earn? ”

Li Xiuxiu interrupted Shao Shuaijun's Yiyin while settling accounts: "Don't think too much, it's not realistic to make movies in the United States." Without its own roots, it still has to be exploited by American companies. When you are famous enough in the United States, make a movie that Americans look forward to, and take the initiative to talk to you about distribution and release, you can make a lot of money from Americans. ”

"Sister Xiuxiu, you look farther, in less than two or three years, I will definitely step into the ranks of Hollywood directors." Shao Shuaijun looked at the bank account displayed on the computer and smiled very happily, "By the way, is the box office statistics in Asia out?" ”

"Well, plus plus minus minus, a total of 220 million yuan, because many of them are directly buying and selling copyrights, and the money that can be recovered is about 60 million yuan, and the studio can get 15 million yuan for the four companies. Still, are you a little mentally prepared? ”

"You mean the domestic box office? Just say it. ”

"Hehe, the domestic box office is only 98 million yuan, which is not more than half of the box office in Asia and overseas." Li Xiuxiu put down her pen and looked up at Shao Shuaijun, "What do you think?" ”

Shao Shuaijun frowned: "It should be that the movie is not to the taste of Chinese, right?" Asia has been cultivated by Hollywood for more than ten years, and their tastes have begun to get used to Hollywood style. ”

"Of course not, although I have just returned to China, I have also asked, and the afternoon show of the movie theater is almost full. It's not much worse than "Crazy Racing", but it only got such a little box office, and I'm sorry for the crazy reports of the domestic media, as well as the hard publicity of Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Quite simply, the box office is compressed."

"Stealing the box office?"

Li Xiuxiu shook her head: "It's not stealing the box office, but being compressed, that is, the theater company didn't report the data truthfully." Now you understand, some people don't want to break 100 million at the box office, which is a combination to deceive us. ”

"For the 5% box office share, it's unlikely, even if the mainland box office is 200 million, 5% of the share is only a few million, as for it?" Shao Shuaijun's face stiffened, and he vaguely spied some clues.

"It's not a 5% problem, you're miscalculated. Because the part of the box office that is concealed is equivalent to leaving you behind and continuing to share it. For example, suppose there is a total of 100 million that can be used to divide the account, but now they are only taking 50 million to share, and 5% of the 50 million will be exploited by you, and the remaining 50 million will be shared by several of them and exclude you. How big do you say your loss is? ”

The higher the box office, the greater the loss.

Shao Shuaijun suddenly understood that he was still complacent because of the success in North America, and immediately fell to the bottom. With a gloomy face, he asked, "What should I do?" ”

"If I were you, I would go to Huayi Brothers to find Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei now and ask clearly." Li Xiuxiu's face couldn't see the change in emotion, "However, there is no way to change any result if you think about it, some people are wolves, and the meat in their mouths will never be let out." "Of course, it's good to ask."

"I'm going to find Wang Zhongjun! I worked so hard to make a movie, let them invest and let them share the money, and even tricked me. If you don't solve this matter, it's definitely not over! Shao Shuaijun was angry and went straight out to the headquarters of Huayi Brothers.

Looking at the back of Shao Shuaijun leaving, Li Xiuxiu suddenly smiled: "Ah Jun, you are too simple, you want to make a big cake and think about future gains, but they can only see what is in front of you and grab your food." I hope that this time I can get a lesson, don't give easily and forget to ask, you must have your own foundation wherever you go, in order to be invincible. ”

I don't know how many minutes later, Li Xiuxiu put away her smile and picked up the phone: "Hey, Wang Yixue, where are you and Ma Hu?" You go back to the company to manage for a while, I have something to do and need to go to Ben, well, okay. ”

In the afternoon, Shao Shuaijun returned.

"How's the talk?"

"The box office has indeed been compressed, and Huayi Brothers will make up for what they got and what belongs to me. As for Poly Bona and Media Asia Variety Show, what Wang Zhongjun means is that he will help me fight for it. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, I'm in a mess right now." Leaning back on the sofa, Shao Shuaijun said with a little indignation, "Anyway, I will definitely get this money back, as for Poly Bona and Media Asia Variety Show, they will never cooperate again in the future!" ”

Li Xiuxiu stood up, stretched her waist, and curvaced: "Ah Jun, if you still want to continue in the film industry, I suggest that you treat this as if it didn't happen." There are a lot of black people in the entertainment industry, who have you seen tearing their faces? As you said yourself, China is a humane society, behind Poly Bona is the central enterprise Poly Group, and behind Media Asia Variety Show is the film leader China Film Group, all of which can directly run the cinema line, tear your face with them, and don't think about showing your movie in mainland cinemas. and Huayi Brothers, don't treat them as good people, without the nod of Huayi Brothers in advance, would the box office compression be so grandiose? If you can't figure it out, if you are pitted, you will be pitted, and if you figure it out, the two kings will change their tone. In any case, you are affiliated with their company, you have to rely on them, they are not afraid of you turning their faces, and you are indeed not qualified to turn their faces. ”

"Sister Xiuxiu, I don't like to hear what you say, what do you mean I'm not qualified to turn my face, I have made a lot of money in three movies now, and the global box office of "Source Code" is 800 million, do I have no place to go if I leave these companies? Even if I leave China, I can still mix well in the United States! Believe it or not! ”

"What kind of bullish temper are you throwing at me, I'm analyzing it for you and helping you plan." Li Xiuxiu pinched her waist and roared back.

Li Xiuxiu easily did not get angry, and when this anger came, Shao Shuaijun was startled, and laughed dryly: "Aren't I in a bad mood, Sister Xiuxiu, you go on, I'll listen." ”

"Humph! Listen, the environment in the United States is not much better than that in China, and the six major film companies have almost monopolized the theater market, so don't go for the time being, and consolidate the domestic position. To develop in the country, you have also seen that there will be many things that bite each other, and you have to learn to compromise and protect yourself. ”

Seeing Shao Shuaijun listening to the lecture with an open mind, Li Xiuxiu's tone softened a little: "Ah Jun, Sister Hua is now in Yueben and is discussing a big matter, you should also hear the rumors." This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I hope you will be involved in this negotiation. ”
