Chapter 562: The Task of the Film Association
Hearing this inexplicable reason, Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing.
Asians are generally not tall, 1.80 meters is very good, Jay Chou's height of 1.73 meters, if it weren't for the fact that the new generation did not have a higher acceptance than him, otherwise he would not have been looking for him.
Once again, he felt that it was a lucky thing to have an extra seven centimeters.
"After layers of screening, Japanese artists were first excluded, they were too xenophobic, and most of them chose local Japanese online games, such as Nintendo's Pokemon series, or Sony's Final Fantasy series, and their enthusiasm for us, to be honest, was not high."
"Blizzard is also a well-known company in the world, so why put it up? Mr. Lin, do you say yes? ”
"And Korean artists, the life span is too short, they don't have artists with a lot of accumulation like China and Japan, Mr. Lin, an artist like you who has been popular for four years can be regarded as the top batch in South Korea."
Lin Xiao nodded secretly, the rise of film and television in South Korea began with idol dramas, although the director is good, but there is a lack of artists who can stand on their feet.
For example, Korean singers, groups, groups, and individuals are just like fireworks, desperately exploding, they adopt a tactic of sweeping the sand in a big wave, and what they leave behind is their core.
And Zhang Dongjian and Yuan Bin have never rushed into the top three in China and Japan!
"In the end, what we decided was the title of cross-strait goodwill ambassador that Mr. Lin had just obtained." The tall and thin man looked cautious, "According to Blizzard's market research, China has never had this precedent, if this is given to the old artists, it is an 'insurance money,' but if it is given to the new generation of artists, it is a road to the future." ”
After saying so much, the master man was also tired, picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "Sure enough, Chinese tea is delicious." ”
He paused, "Mr. Lin, if you reach a partnership with Blizzard, you will get a generous contract. First of all, you're going to get half a million endorsement fees, oh, it's dollars. ”
"Secondly, all the banners and promotional posters of Blizzard's World of Warcraft conferences in the Asia-Pacific region will have your name on them, close-up."
"Finally, you'll get Blizzard's technical support, a permanent account, and a piece of gear that will never be repaired at all times."
The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth curled slightly, in the final analysis, there were actually only two.
"Is Blizzard underestimating me?" He said slowly, "To be honest, I have already received a film offer from director Bong Joon-ho of South Korea, and I haven't gone abroad yet, but it's a matter of time." ”
The master man was not angry, thought about it for a moment and said, "I think Blizzard's conditions are already very fair. ”
"Plus 1% of the annual profit in the Asia-Pacific region." Lin Xiao said lightly.
The master man frowned slightly, "Mr. Lin, this is not in accordance with the rules, the endorsement fee of nearly five million is really very high in China, and Miss Gong Li's salary for one film is only this number." ”
"If you want to pay dividends, it's not impossible, but you need to give up the endorsement fee." The master man didn't refuse, they discussed it before they came, this game, the internal comments were, either big red, or big pounce, there is no mean.
Five years to develop Warcraft, Blizzard can be said to have smashed the profits of SC and Big Pineapple, and now it can save a point is a point, as for the future profit, it is a big pie, and it is less trustworthy than cash.
"Moreover, 1% is too high, 0.2% at most."
Lin Xiao shook his head, "I can promise to give up endorsements, as for specific matters, it's better to let the lawyers talk about it." ”
"In short, I promise to endorse the World of Warcraft, and the specific dividend amount will be discussed by the lawyers, what do you think?"
"Yes." The tall and thin man nodded, "In addition, I have to remind you, Mr. Lin, the fact that the spokesperson is still in a state of suspension does not mean that our selection is the final result of the company, so we will not sign a contract before the head office officially announces the spokesperson." ”
Lin Xiao nodded.
Blizzard is very tight on money now, and they are more inclined to draw a big pie than cash, because they don't know whether Warcraft can make a profit and whether it can create more glory. If it fails, I am afraid that several projects under development will have to be closed.
However, they never imagined that this was an innovative online game that broke all online game records in half a year! Tens of millions of people around the world are online at the same time, and tens of millions of users are online! is just the ninth city that took over its agency, and immediately turned losses into profits, with an annual income of three or four billion, which is better than that of film and television companies.
A Chinese mainland is more than 200 million, looking at the Asia-Pacific region, the amount of more than 500 million, one percent is equivalent to the current endorsement fee, even if 0.5 percent, it is only a matter of two years.
No one can imagine the popularity of WOW now.
After negotiating this matter, he can directly throw the rest to the lawyer, and finally wait for the "final judgment" of Blizzard's parent company, Vidiwang Universal Entertainment. ”
In the afternoon of the same day, he left Dandong City and went to Basketzigou.
This is a ravine, a ravine in the middle of a mountain.
The Northeast has always been the forefront of the anti-Japanese war, and there are many anti-Japanese sites here, which are good choices for shooting war movies.
For example, in this ravine, there are many visible war sites, and the props team asked people to come over to arrange it a few days before the crew came, and Lin Xiao rested in Dandong for two days, which also left enough time for the props team.
The whole venue has been lively, the crew is also stationed in the surrounding mountain villages, the artists have not come forward, and a new batch of group performances has arrived, and they are looking at everything around in a new way.
There is also the last set of battle scenes here, and the filming can be completed in half a month at most.
And when Lin Xiao was shooting, in Huayi, Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhongjun were frowning, looking at a document in front of them.
The wind has been fully edited, this time it is the crew combination of Feng Xiaogang and Lin Xiao, as well as Zhao Wei, Wang Zhiwen, Zhou Xun and others joining, it is undoubtedly the most powerful blockbuster in the entire summer file!
With the student holidays just around the corner, they're also ready to get the word out.
But then they felt something was wrong.
In the past, the first thing was to contact the major theaters, but now this time, the two of them have all the same thoughts: contact Shuguang first.
The addition of the Central Propaganda Department and CCTV has made it impossible for anyone in the film and television industry to ignore this thing.
"How do you say it......" Feng Xiaogang looked at the information and muttered, "This is his film, he won't ask for too much, right?" ”
"I'm not worried about whether he's going to be ruthless." Wang Zhongjun sighed, "Now all people in the film and television industry can't do without this website, if it goes on like this, as Dawn slowly accumulates strength, sooner or later it will become his personal strong backing." ”
"Once a habit becomes a dependency...... He already has enough capital to win the title......"
Feng Xiaogang shook his head, "Actually, don't worry too much, I see, his heart is not in the country." Reaching such a point at such a young age, how can you hold your heart? Sooner or later, he'll go out and break through. ”
"Only if he sets his sights on foreign countries can he alleviate the increasingly strong dependence on video networks in China." Wang Zhongjun sighed: "How long has it been? The video network has entered the film and television industry so easily, and has become a part of the support of large and small companies, as if it should be in the film and television industry itself. ”
"It's not long coming." Feng Xiaogang said distractedly, "I think...... It should be soon...... He is in the country, and the rest of his position is based on accumulation...... This is a water mill, and I can't rush it...... If he wants to reach the superstardom level, sooner or later he will go abroad......"
"Maybe this film ...... At the end of this year...... You can see his response......"
After speaking, he patted the information, "Okay, I'll go there myself, this kid has a lot of ideas, maybe he has some good ideas." Our relationship is quite reluctant, at least give me a face to help the company save a little. ”
"Take this with you, too." Wang Zhongjun was silent for a moment, then turned around and took out a cowhide belt from a drawer.
"What is this?"
Wang Zhongjun smiled bitterly, "This is the 5% stake that I promised when Zhonglei and I went to him for help." ”
The bitterness on his face can't be eliminated, no matter how popular Lin Xiao is, he also has red stars under Huayi, and the star lineup is definitely not inferior to the trio of Dawn's War Pastoral Law.
Who would have thought that overnight, almost all the big names defected, and the chairman of Erwang and Huayi was forced to agree to a 5% stake.
5% is definitely a terrible number, and the directors of Huayi's least shares are only two or three points more than 5%, and Lin Xiao asked for 5% as soon as he opened his mouth, and they couldn't refuse.
If Dawn supports Chengtian, then Huayi's life will be even worse, and the loss will not be more than 5%.
Feng Xiaogang was stunned and shook his head, "You know, you took out more than 5%. ”
"I know." Wang Zhongjun looked at the bag and was distracted, "I don't understand, what he wants is the title of intervening in Huayi Film Library." ”
"With the identity of a shareholder, he has this qualification. Our film library, sooner or later, can't be saved, it depends on when he makes a move and how much money he pays. ”
Feng Xiaogang was silent for a few seconds and said, "Actually, putting the dawn on the dawn is also a good way to publicize, and it is very necessary for the artist's exposure." Think for the good. ”
Wang Zhongjun smiled silently, and pushed the bag over, "Take it, hand it to him with your own hands, the information is in it, just ask him to accept it, and I have been busy for half a month." I can't bear it. ”
"Maybe with this, we can change it to a five-second top."
At this moment, the basket ditch is already hot, the newcomers are full of fighting spirit, the crew is in high spirits, and they are preparing to do a big job.
Busy, busy to death.
Lin Xiao suddenly felt that after he won this honor, all kinds of things that followed made his life change.
Busier than ever.
Just a few minutes ago, he replied to Li Xuejian that after he promised to enter the Film Association, the other party immediately appointed him as the deputy secretary general on behalf of the president, and said that the letter of appointment would come down in a few days.
However, he didn't expect that what was arranged for him was not a name! It's about really having something to do!
"Mr. Lin, this year's Hundred Flowers Award will be held on October 30. The Golden Rooster Awards will be held in November. It's this time of year, and at that time, you'll be in a number of roles. ”
"In addition, there will be an academic seminar on cross-strait film and television exchanges in September, and the Film Association hopes to be led by you."
Lin Xiao was stunned, he just wanted to put on a name!
This is in a hurry to push yourself out?! Tell everyone, look, the cross-strait goodwill ambassadors are in our film association! It's the Deputy Secretary-General!
