"Director Feng," Liu Xusheng's face was a little dark, and he said coldly: "Private investment, or our investment company to operate, which is more secure, you should know better than me." ”
Investing in movies is not a handful of money and just handing it over, it is an indisputable fact that additional funds are made in stages, and private funds are easy to fall off the chain.
But Xicheng has never invested like this, as soon as Liu Xusheng's voice fell, he said quickly: "Please rest assured, Mr. Hades's investment is not followed up in batches at all, but in place at one time, which Director Li Junyi can testify." ”
"That's true," Li Junyi stood not far away with his arms crossed, saw everyone's eyes fall on him, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said: "All the money is in place at one time, and it hasn't been spent yet......"
"Xicheng, remember, you are an actor, why did you start to meddle in film investment," Liu Xusheng's tone was a little unkind, people who have been at the top of a large company for a long time always have a sense of superiority.
"There's no way to do it," Hee Sung shrugged, "I don't have any money to spend as an actor, I always have to find something to do to earn some pocket money." ”
This deceives the devil, and the devil does not believe it.
Liu Xusheng's original intention was to let Xicheng retreat from the difficulty, who knew that he would be ridiculed like this, and he couldn't help but be angry, "Every industry has its own rules, young people don't do things that they can't afford to bear the consequences." ”
"What rules? Can't we give the director a better treatment? "Xicheng is not even afraid of Li Xiuman, how can he be afraid of this guy who can't fight with himself.
His words were-for-tat with Liu Xusheng, and even the faces of other investors were a little unnatural. But it hit the hearts of the directors present at once.
The director appeals for his own rights, and Bong Joon-ho is not the first. Especially those powerful directors, who make a blockbuster movie, but they can only get a dime, and they will naturally not be happy.
The directors again originally thought that Xicheng's posture was a bit high, but now when they heard him, they suddenly felt that he had become their own person.
Xicheng was not afraid of offending Liu Xusheng, let alone offending these rich people present.
In life, how can no one be offended.
No matter what he does, even if he bows his head. As long as you pick a peach that is blue and blue, you are definitely an enemy.
Since you're going to be offended anyway, why not be offended, and by the way, you can leave a good impression in the hearts of these directors.
Liu Xusheng's face was pale, and even the little model was so frightened that he took a few steps back, "Director Feng, we agreed to your conditions." It's not the first time we've worked together, so why bother hurting the peace. ”
Bong Junhao has been frowning and considering the pros and cons of this matter, and when he heard Liu Xusheng's words, he immediately hesitated, "Five percent of the box office revenue? ”
"That's right," Liu Xusheng smiled strongly: "Fengdao." The brother should do this, but he took a lot of risks. ”
What he said was not vain, in the 06 years when the director's participation in dividends had not yet risen, he was able to make such a decision without discussion, which shows that Liu Xusheng is also a bold person.
Bong Joon-ho breathed a sigh of relief. Before I could nod my head, I heard someone say coldly, "Wait a minute......"
Hee Sung pretended to take out his mobile phone. Pretending to be on the phone, he hung up the phone after a while and said, "Ten percent ......."
There was a dead silence, except for the hissing sound of inhalation.
Liu Xusheng promised Bong Junhao five percent, which made others unbelievable, who knew that this kid who didn't know the height of the sky didn't even say six percent and eight percent, and directly called out ten percent of the price.
Just when everyone was still stunned, Daniel Zhang rushed over, grabbed Xicheng, and pulled him aside, "Are you crazy, this is to destroy the unspoken rules of the entire industry, and who will ask you to film in the future." ”
In fact, the director's bonus can also be called a second pay, which has appeared in Europe, America and Hong Kong in the 90s, and was initially a policy for screenwriters.
Producers expect writers to work as hard as they can, and one of the ways to encourage writers to work hard is to get them involved in dividends. Screenwriters know that if they put their heart and soul into creating a truly great film, their work will be on airplane screens and on DVD...... At this time, a large amount of profit will be generated, and the screenwriters can also get a certain percentage of dividends.
Later, the director was added, and then even the actors were involved, but this has little to do with the incentive effect.
The main investment is a small low-cost film, and there is not enough money to pay the remuneration at the beginning of filming, so the director and the leading actor will convert their remuneration into a film investment, and wait for the film to be released and share from the profits.
In South Korea, there is a strict film quota system, and general films have a minimum box office guarantee, at least investors will not lose too much, so this system is not as popular as abroad.
But in a few months, there will be a earth-shaking event in the Korean film industry, and from then on, Korean films will have to be in line with international standards, and Hee-sung's approach this year has really offended these investors, but in two months, this practice will become common, but the proportion is not as alarming as Hee-sung.
However, Daniel Zhang didn't know this, he just felt that Xicheng was a little too much today, and he erected enemies for himself for no reason.
And it's not one or two, it's the enemy of an industry!
Liu Xusheng promised to give Bong Joon-ho a 5% box office share, which has actually trampled on the unspoken rules of the industry, and 10% of Hee-sung will make many film investors die without a place to be buried.
"Brother Yongyu, rules are used to destroy," Hee Sung smiled disapprovingly, "As for no one looking for me to film, it's not simple, I'll pay for the director myself, buy the script, and invest in acting by myself." ”
Daniel Zhang was choked, he almost forgot, this kid has money and vision, how can he not film.
What's more, he offended the investment community, and at the same time curryed favor with most of the directors, except for those rich people, no one will resist him.
"But. That's too ......."
"I'm just doing what I'm told," Hee Sung said, raising the phone in his hand. Winking mischievously, "Mr. Hades is a discerning and generous investor. ”
Daniel Zhang shook his head speechlessly and decided not to care about him anymore.
Liu Xusheng didn't know that Hee Cheng had long been determined to snatch food from his mouth, and he was still dreaming that he would retreat under Daniel Zhang's persuasion, and he had already said to Bong Junhao arrogantly: "Ten percent of the box office, he is a child who just said on his lips, I will give you five percent, if you can have 10 million views." Do you calculate how much money you can get? ”
In 2oo3, Bong Joon-ho filmed "Memories of Murder", and the total box office income at that time was 42 billion, and 5 percent is 2 billion, which is more than ten times the director's remuneration.
Bong Joon-ho let go of his clenched hand and shook his head slowly, "I'm going to think about it, I'm sorry." Special Manager Liu. ”
"What? Could it be that Director Bong is still thinking about ten percent," Liu Xusheng did not hide his anger and mockery of Bong Junhao's greed, "After this village, there will be no such shop, Director Bong won't think that next time he looks for me, there will be five percent, right?" ”
Bong Joon-ho shook his head with a wry smile. "Ten percent really can't think that if Mr. Hades can really give me a five percent share, I will choose to cooperate with him."
"You ......" Liu Xusheng felt that he was despised by Chi Guoguo, and he snorted coldly: "Director Feng has to think clearly, be careful that the box office will be dismal when the time comes." Not a penny. ”
"I don't have to worry about this," Bong Joon-ho smiled slightly. Even if he completely gave up his plan to cooperate with Qingyulan, he didn't suspect that Hee Sung was playing him, but Li Junyi, who had worked with Hades, had no reason to play him.
What's more, Hee-sung is from Yonsei University, and based on this alone, Bong Joon-ho doesn't believe that he will talk about it.
The two are alumni, and there will be long opportunities to deal with each other in the future.
At this point, there was no point in staying any longer, so Bong Joon-ho and Hee-sung left the hotel, found a small café room everywhere, and began to have a formal conversation.
"Can I talk to Mr. Hades on the phone?" After Bong Joon-ho sat down, he couldn't wait.
"Hehe," Hee Sung smiled wryly, pointing to his nose, "I'm Hades." ”
"Ah!!h His face changed dramatically, and Bong Joon-ho had little way to express his surprise.
"I don't want people to know, that's why I kept misunderstanding you, Brother Junhao, don't mind," Hee-sung apologized very formally.
"You're Hades?" Bong Joon-ho still doesn't believe it, "The King's Man is really what you invested in?" Wholly owned? ”
"Yes," Hee Sung nodded and explained, "At that time, Director Lee Jun Yi approached me and asked me to play Kong Ji, but I was a little unaccustomed to this kind of heavy movie, so I refused. ”
"That's a pity," Bong Joon-ho couldn't help but sigh with emotion, with the hit of "The King's Man", Lee Joon-gi almost predictably became popular all over Asia, and this opportunity should have been Hee-sung.
"There's no pity," Hee Sung smiled and said, "I had a little spare money in my hand at the time, and I saw that no one was willing to invest, so I invested." ”
He said it lightly, but Bong Joon-ho smiled bitterly when he heard it, "Just now you said that you don't have any funds in your hands now, so how can you invest in my movie, I've already started to prepare now." ”
"There is no spare money for the time being," Hee Sung was not depressed, he had already thought about this problem, and said confidently: "But I can let "The King's Man" pay me the investment cost in advance first. ”
"Will the film production company say yes?" How can there be such a good thing, I have never seen investors get their own money from the box office income first, and it is not for nothing that the production company will drag on for two or three years.
"Yes," Hee Sung chuckled, "If he pays me in advance, then we will hand over our new movie to them, if I don't want to, I'll find another company, no matter how bad it is, I can still borrow money." ”
Bong Joon-ho thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense, but he still had a question, "How do you convince them to think that the following movie will also make money?" ”
This is the key, if the company thinks that Hee Sung will make money in the next movie, it naturally doesn't mind paying him the money that originally belonged to Hee Sung in advance.
"What's the name of the new movie?" Hee-sung replied to the question.
"I call it 'Monster of the Han River' in the script," Bong Joon-ho has the illusion that the guy in front of him is not a teenager, but a very bold mature person who can easily lead the direction of the topic.
