Chapter 338: Mr. Lake
In terms of special effects, it is indeed a problem, and the current special effects technology is completely in the Rahu stage, let alone Huaxia.
The Grim Reaper is coming, how much does it really cost? The key is this special effect, to be honest, it is impossible to do it without looking for an overseas special effects group, and what special effects do you want to do with 50 million? What special effects can be made? The special effects cost 10 million, and the overseas group said that they would charge you 100 million, how dark they are and don't know yet?
So in this matter, I have to ask Mr. Steve for help, although Mr. Steve is not the boss in the field of entertainment, but at least I know such a person, whether he can invite overseas special effects groups at a cost of 50 million, it depends on Mr. Steve.
Originally, the Apple conference on October 20 was postponed to October 29th, for a very simple reason, because of the game creativity given by Ye Han, they want to develop all of them, and promote mobile phones, and at the same time, Ye Han accounts for 50% of the share, 20% for development and designers, and 30% for Apple.
According to the Cheng dΓΉ of six dollars for a piece of software, this is a lot of potential money.
So on October 27th, Ye Han flew to the United States, and the first thing he did was not to find Mr. Steve, but to find Robert Tony Jr.
Regarding a character where the Grim Reaper came, Ye Han gave Robert Tonny Jr., about Iron Man, Ye Han plans to start with comics, in this way, the copyright is in his own hands, Iron Man's comics are not in a hurry, just find a comic book master to name it when the time comes.
After picking up Robert Tony Jr., Ye Han found that the other party's expression had improved a lot, and he was doing assembly line work in a steel company. So there are some vicissitudes on the face, but at least full of energy. Looks like I've quit that thing, almost a year. The two met again, and little Robert Tony looked at Ye Han with a smile and said, "I've been waiting for you, Ye!" β
"Okay, I'm going to finish the matter at hand today, let's go on a trip abroad with me." Ye Han patted him on the shoulder, and then led him to Apple.
When he arrived at Apple, Mr. Steve expressed his current mood with a warm hug.
Ye Han told Mr. Steve about the main purpose of his visit. For this matter, Mr. Steve agreed, he knows several giants in Hollywood, and it should not be difficult to invite special effects companies at a price of 50 million.
October 28th!
Ye Han went to Jiazhou, where Sun Yue was there, to discuss the global release of his new show, since Ye Han also came to the United States. So it's just right, let's go over together.
After arriving in Jiazhou, Sun Yue was already waiting for Ye Han at the airport, and then took Ye Han to a high-end hotel.
"Mr. Lake is coming over soon. He is a well-known theater tycoon of the United States, and one-fifth of the entire United States is owned by him, occupying 70% of the shares. If we can say what we can say about him, then the Grim Reaper will be released throughout the United States. At the same time they have resources that we can't match, if your movie is really good. It doesn't take any hassle to follow and can be released worldwide. β
Sun Yue said this, Ye Han, who was sitting next to him, nodded, and then said, "What is your attitude towards the global release?" β
Hearing this, Sun Yue looked at Ye Han and immediately couldn't help laughing: "Since those years, I have known that my only way out is to support you and support you unconditionally, we are already a prosperous and a loss, I don't want your movie to be a big hit, but at least one point, you must be able to recover the cost, and when the time comes, we will not be sad if we lose on the same stage with the other party, we are afraid of being suppressed, and if the cost cannot be recovered at that time, it will be unlucky." β
Ye Han's initial investment is 100 million, and if it is needed later, the price will be increased, for a movie released worldwide, the cost of 100 million? It's completely low-cost, released worldwide, this kind of movie must meet the taste, it must have special effects, and who doesn't know about special effects in the industry, is to burn the gold cave, no matter how much money you burn, you can eat it.
About twenty minutes later, Mr. Lake came, with an assistant, and was punctual without a minute, but not a minute earlier.
"Hello, Sun Yue, hello Ye Han." Mr. Lake greeted the two of them in pure Chinese, and the two naturally replied with smiles on their faces.
Then he pointed to the person on the side and said: "This is the finance minister of our company, and he is also my assistant, and he is responsible for today's negotiation." β
Mr. Lake said this, and Ye Han and Sun Yue's expressions changed slightly, and they were all handed over to their subordinates to be responsible, so that is to say, the other party came prepared today, if he really wanted to negotiate, then it should be his own negotiation, although Mr. Lake is a theater tycoon, but Sun Yue is not an ordinary person, Huaxia is no longer the original Huaxia, it has become a global power.
Compared with the value, Mr. Lake may not be able to compare with the entire Wanda, at this moment, Wanda surpasses the current Apple in the world ranking more than ten times, so he is fully qualified to sit down together and negotiate together, but the other party asked the assistant to negotiate with Ye Han and Sun Yue, from this attitude, the other party seems to have any ideas.
"Okay." Sun Yue immediately smiled, and a little Lake's assistant said, "I'm Jixun, Mr. Lake has an important meeting today, so we only have twenty minutes." The other party had a completely businesslike attitude, and Ye Han couldn't help frowning.
"Well, in that case, I'll open up and say that the films produced by Wanda Film and Television Producers, as well as the well-known first-line directors in China, Mr. Ye Han, want to be released simultaneously around the world, and we hope that your company can rotate movies three times a day in all its theaters."
Sun Yue said.
Mr. Lake nodded, with a light smile on his face, he couldn't see any attitude, and Ji Xun also nodded and said: "There is no problem with this, but we need to pay 100 million cash as the cost, that is to say, if the box office does not reach 200 million, then this 100 million will be the compensation given to us, and we demand 60% of the global box office share." β
He said.
It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, Sun Yue's face changed instantly, and Ye Han was not much better.
Pay 100 million in compensation first? That is to say, if the other party agrees to their request, then if they can't earn 100 million, they will ask Ye Han to make up the money to the other party, and if it is reached, this 100 million can be returned to Ye Han, to be honest, for some projects that are not valued, this request will be made, but few people will agree.
And what is even more excessive is another thing, that is, 60% of the global box office share!
What does this mean, that is, they will also be given 60% of the box office in China, which roughly means that the movie will be released in Wanda, and the cumulative box office will be assumed to be 10 billion, then Ye Han can get a share of 450 million, and the other party will want Ye Han's 60% share, that is, a box office share of 270 million.
If you can't get money from the theater, then you can take the money from Ye Han.
In this way, Ye Han's hard work can only get a box office share of 180 million, and in exchange for a global release.
According to Ye Han's thoughts, he thinks that when the Grim Reaper comes, he should be able to get a box office of 3~500 million US dollars in the world, counting his lowest 300 million, that is, the global box office of 1.8 billion, and he will take 45% (after tax) to get about 800 million, but he will give the other party more than half of the profit.
At that moment, Ye Han couldn't help but sneer.
"Mr. Lake, have you come sincerely?" Sun Yue's face suddenly turned cold, and he sat there, looking at Lake.
At this time, Mr. Lake shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry, the main person to negotiate today is Jiexun, not me. β
Putting aside the relationship, this Lake is an old fox.
At that moment, Sun Yue looked at Jiexun and said: "Mr. Jixun, I don't know why you made such an unreasonable request, but the only thing I want to say is that we will not accept this kind of contract, the only thing we can accept is that we can pay 100 million insurance money, but the global box office share is still 43%, and our biggest concession is after tax." β
He said.
After tax, it is already very good, plus 100 million insurance money, the other party will definitely not lose much.
But Ji Xun shook his head and said, "Then I'm really sorry, we can't continue to work together." β
After saying this, he looked at Mr. Lake and said, "Boss, we can go." β
Lake nodded, then stood up.
It's just that at this time, Ye Han suddenly smiled, took a sip of red wine and said: "Mr. Lake, if there is no mistake, someone has already given you a good price, two billion dollars for the movie, how much is the share given to your company?" Would I like to find out? β
He said.
The fool can't see that this Lake must have a ghost, and as for who it is, he can think that it is Huang Jian's bad move with his toes.
"Well, you are very smart, but the world values money, I can't reveal any news to you, I can only say that the other party is willing to give us enough compensation, you are a talent, but the reward given by the other party is greater than a talent."
It was rare for Mr. Lake to say such a long sentence.
Immediately left.
After he left, Sun Yue scolded fiercely: "Fake! This group of damned American imperialists, seeing the money, opened their eyes. β
"It's not their fault, if I'm not mistaken, Huang Jian gave the other party at least 10% of the total box office share, in fact, they didn't have any attitude of wanting to cooperate at all when they came, even if we agreed to them just now, they would definitely put forward more demanding requirements, hum."
Ye Han couldn't help but sneer.
"But I'll make them regret it!" This sentence was said in Ye Han's heart. (To be continued......)
