Chapter 209: Publishers

When Fan Zhe took the crew of "Hell Apartment" to several locations to shoot the camera, Ye Jiayi also received a message from 'Dimensional Japan'.

Li Zerui, the head of Wedo Japan, submitted a new report, in which he wrote that this year, Wedo Japan's revenue from operating its own cultural works in Japan will have the opportunity to reach 50 or 60 million yuan.

The big one, of course, comes from the animation "Amber Sword".

Originally, Li Zerui was looking forward to the disc sales of more than seven or eight thousand, or even tens of thousands, and he was already very satisfied. In the context of the sluggish Japanese disc market, it is enough to be able to get such a post-talent, which is enough to be regarded as the best in the near future.

However, the stamina of "Amber Sword" is still beyond imagination.

So far, about the third volume has been released, and the disc sales of "Amber Sword" have reached 20,000.

This is a result that can enter the top 50 of the Japanese animation history list.

Moreover, so far, the rise of the animated work "Amber Sword" has not stopped. According to the trend of animation playback, two more discs will be released in a month or two. Judging from the current situation, it is also very promising to hit more than 30,000 sales, and to rank with works of the level of "Sword Art Online" and "Fullmetal Alchemist".

At this point, Li Zerui has naturally adjusted the profits that can be harvested by 'Wedo Japan' this year to further increase.

Of course, not all of his estimated income of 50 or 60 million yuan came from "Amber". Although the work "Fantasy of the Three Kingdoms" was released last year, by this time this year, it can still bring a certain amount of profit through various operational means.

Excellent works will always have a long life.

After seeing such news, Ye Jiayi's mood naturally became very good.

With such a good mood, she took a negotiation team, about five or six people, to a film and television company in Shenghai.

The name of this company is 'Lotus Leaf Pictures'. Liu Jinghe, the heroine of the movie "Hell Apartment", is from this company.

An executive of 'Lotus Leaf Pictures' is a classmate of Fan Zhe in the executive training class of Shenghai Drama Academy. The reason why Wedo Entertainment chose Liu Jinghe is that in addition to being recommended by someone and meeting Fan Zhe's requirements, there is also a more important consideration: 'Lotus Leaf Pictures' is a film and television company with film distribution qualifications and relevant capabilities.

This is what Wedo Entertainment attaches more importance to.

Wedo Entertainment itself lacks channels for film distribution, and they also lack the corresponding qualifications, and after the film is finished, it still has to be handed over to other companies for distribution.

'Lotus Leaf Pictures' is an early agreed partner, and if nothing else, they will be responsible for the distribution of "Hell Apartment" after the filming and production of the film is completed.

And today, Ye Jiayi came here to talk about the specific cooperation rules.

'Lotus Leaf Pictures' still attaches great importance to this cooperation.

Several executives were downstairs together, quite a bit of a queue to greet them.

After going upstairs, sitting in the conference hall, sitting in front of Ye Jiayi, was a woman named Xu Ziting, who looked to be around thirty-five years old, and she was also Fan Zhe's classmate, the general manager of 'Lotus Leaf Pictures'.

"We have formulated a strategy for guaranteed issuance, Mr. Ye, you can take a look, the bottom line is 70 million yuan......"

Guaranteed issuance is a very popular issuance method in China a few years ago.

Set a bottom line, if the box office is lower than this bottom line, then the filmmaker, that is, 'Dimension Entertainment', will get a share according to this bottom line. For example, if the bottom line is 70 million yuan, then if the final box office is less than 70 million, then 70 million will be shared by Wedo Entertainment, and the distributor will definitely lose some.

If it exceeds 70 million, the issuer will get a more generous share ratio for the excess part.

Generally speaking, some producers are more willing to accept the method of guaranteed sharing, so that the risk will be shared too much.

For example, if Ye Jiayi chooses to accept it here, it means that "Hell Apartment" produced by 'Dimension Entertainment' is destined to make a steady profit. According to the general sharing ratio, with 70 million to divide, Dimension Entertainment will probably be able to recover more than 20 million.

This means that "Hell Apartment" can recover its cost and make a few million.

And once the box office is higher than 70 million, the higher part, although the proportion of the share will drop a lot, but 'Dimension Entertainment' can still make some money.

Xu Ziting thinks that she is still relatively generous for this condition she offered.

Although Wedo Entertainment has not had an independent movie before, their technical ability is undoubtedly strong, and they have the experience of a series like "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", plus the heroine in the movie, she is still a girl promoted by herself.

Looking at it in this way, she feels that it is not impossible to open a guaranteed release for 'Dimension Entertainment'.

Even if it's a loss, it shouldn't lose too much. The important thing is that 'Dimension Entertainment' has never failed in the animation and TV series produced so far. If this one is a box office hit, then the guaranteed release, their 'Lotus Leaf Pictures' will make money.

However, she felt that the conditions were very good, and when she heard Ye Jiayi's ears, she felt that it was still unreliable.

Ye Jiayi said with a smile: "We can accept the guaranteed issuance, but the bottom line, we hope to be able to set it at 200 million." ”

"Impossible!" Xu Ziting directly refused.

The guaranteed share of 200 million means that no matter what the final result of "Hell Apartment" is, at least 60 or 70 million will be distributed. In case the movie hits the street, then 'Lotus Leaf Pictures' will be miserable.

With an investment of only 20 million, a horror film with a limited audience, a weak cast, and no star with appeal, Wedo Entertainment challenged the big screen for the first time, and director Fan Zhe made a movie for the first time......

These are all reasons why Xu Ziting is not optimistic about "Hell Apartment". All the factors add up, so it is impossible for her to agree to a guaranteed share of 200 million.

Regarding Xu Ziting's refusal, Ye Jiayi also knew it in her heart.

200 million, it is indeed a bit of a lion's mouth, and she never thought that Xu Ziting would agree.

But it doesn't matter, that's not her purpose in itself.

"Then let's talk about a normal distribution, no need for a guarantee."

"......," Xu Ziting said, "Your company is very confident." ”

Ye Jiayi smiled indifferently: "We have always been very confident in our works. ”
