The filming of "Covering the Sky 1 - A Trip to the Beidou" is progressing very smoothly.

The actor himself is acting online.

Smith and others also gradually understood what Zhang Yang wanted to express after many explanations.

The chicken and the duck said, I want 1, and he takes -1 out of the matter less and less.

Coupled with the blessing of Zhang Yang's system props 'The Director's Prestige Enhancement', no one on the set dared to refute him, and in a short period of time, the whole movie was actually completed, many days faster than expected.

And during this time, in the propaganda war, the fortune was born, which also made "Covering the Sky" among the four movies among the best, and suppressed the other three movies.

Of course.

In terms of publicity, Zhang Yang not only released shooting tidbits.

At the same time, the actors' makeup photos and some special effects finalized drawings will also be released from time to time.

Many netizens expressed their expectations for the movie, spoke one after another, and will definitely buy tickets to support it on the day of release.

Haihua City, Xuanyu Company.

In the office, Zhang Yang was receiving Guan Mingyuan.

Originally, he was supposed to have a video conference with the production staff on the special effects side today, explaining some mistakes and telling the production staff what he wanted on the special effects.

But he temporarily received a call from Guan Mingyuan, saying that he was bringing someone over to talk to him about the release of the film.

So he sent Liang Bin and others from the art team to talk to the company, and he sat in the office and waited for Guan Mingyuan to arrive.

It's past 9 a.m.

Guan Mingyuan came, and in addition to the secretary and driver who traveled daily, there was also a strange man behind him.

This person Zhang Yang has never seen it.

Forty or fifty years old, wearing a suit and tie, his appearance is ordinary, and there are some people dressed as secretaries and drivers behind him.

Guan Mingyuan, as the director of Shake Sheng, has a high and powerful position, and few bosses in China can be equal to him.

But he saw that the two of them were talking happily along the way.

[Who is this?] 】

[Someone from the issuing company?] 】

Zhang Yang was a little puzzled.

However, the movements of his hands were not slow, and his face grew.

"Mr. Guan welcomes, who is this?"

As soon as the two sides met, Guan Mingyuan stopped talking to the man.

turned his head and introduced Zhang Yang with a smile: "Let me introduce, this is Wang Lei of Huayi, Mr. Wang." ”

"Hello Mr. Wang."

Zhang Yang said hello.

[It turns out that he is the boss of Huayi. 】

Zhang Yang knew who this person was as soon as he heard it.

Huayi.

A veteran enterprise in the domestic film distribution industry.

Not only is it very powerful at home, but it is also very powerful abroad, and it has its own global distribution channels, and its name is very loud.

Zhang Yang of this company knew, but the boss hadn't seen it, so he didn't recognize it.

Guan Mingyuan introduced Wang Lei again: "This is Xuanyu's Zhang Yang, Mr. Zhang, and the No. 1 film in the history of domestic film investment, Director Zhang Da of "Covering the Sky". ”

"Haha, I've heard of it for a long time."

Wang Lei laughed and stretched out his right hand to Zhang Yang.

"Mr. Wang, I have heard your name for a long time."

Zhang Yang took advantage of the situation and stretched out his right hand.

The two shook each other's hands, and they knew each other.

led the two upstairs and asked the staff in charge of reception to arrange the secretary and others who followed behind them.

Then he took the two of them to his office, and told Lin Xiaohan to make tea.

While waiting, the three of them exchanged pleasantries and talked and laughed.

Waiting until the tea was ready, Lin Xiaohan silently closed the door and exited the office, leaving only the three of them in the room.

Seeing this, Guan Mingyuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Both, let's get straight to the point." ”

"Zhang Yang, it stands to reason that I should take you to visit Mr. Wang, but I know that you are very busy with things here, so after I explained to Mr. Wang, he was very reasonable, and the two of us came to your side.

The three parties got together to talk about the release of the film. ”

"Thank you for your understanding, I have been very busy during this time, and there are a lot of things on the movie side, so I can't do anything."

Zhang Yang raised the teacup to make a toast: "I apologize first for replacing wine with tea." ”

"Hey~ It's all about talking about business, and this kind of little thing is not worth mentioning."

Wang Lei waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for this.

"With that said, I'll get straight to the point.

For the release of "Covering the Sky", I talked to Mr. Guan a few words.

The investment in this movie is huge, and I don't take advantage of you.

On the domestic side, Huayi, as the distributor, takes 5% of the box office share, and I will contact the theater to achieve at least more than 20% of the country's film scheduling, of course, if the box office performance of the movie is good enough, I will continue to talk to the theater, and the increase in the defecation rate is not a problem.

But Mr. Zhang must be mentally prepared.

After deducting the 8.5% to be handed over and the box office within 600 million, you need to hand over 1.5% of the median number, (actually 8.3% and 1-3%, for the sake of good calculation, it is written here.) The remaining net box office revenue, theaters and theaters have to divide at least 50%, this part is unavoidable.

So in fact, Xuanyu can only get 45% of the net box office, what do you think? ”

Listening to Wang Lei's words, Zhang Yang fell into deep thought.

The conditions given by Wang Lei are indeed very superior.

After the release of many domestic movies, the theater has the least 50%, and some can even get more than 55%.

The issuing company is generally at 7%, and Huayi only takes 5% is indeed a very favorable price.

However, he personally invested 1.7 billion in this movie, and the follow-up video website of the movie can definitely only be in Watermelon Video, this part is divided, and he will definitely not be able to get it after investing 1.3 billion.

Then the income of "Covering the Sky" is only box office + advertising + peripherals + some local film support and subsidy policies.

And for the sake of the quality of the film, he didn't accept any advertising placement.

And the peripheral income of "Covering the Sky" is not easy to predict, after all, it is a fantasy film, not something like Transformers that can be made into toys or the like, so this part is almost negligible.

Follow this algorithm.

Then the box office revenue must reach at least 4.2 billion yuan before he can recover the cost of 1.7 billion yuan.

This figure is a relatively high box office income in China, and there is a little hope for "Covering the Sky" to surpass this number.

But he's going to prepare for the worst.

If there is really only 4.2 billion box office revenue in China, then foreign countries are the real profits.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked: "What is Huayi's plan to arrange for the release abroad?" ”

Wang Lei explained: "The situation in foreign countries and in China is different, the share that Xuanyu can get is definitely not as high as 45%, and the distribution fee Huayi is still calculated according to 5%, but the national conditions of various foreign countries are different, and the share that Xuanyu can get here may only be about 25%~30%, and the specific number needs to be calculated after sending someone abroad to talk with theaters and theaters." ”

"This is the approximate sharing ratio, if you think there is no problem, then I will send someone abroad to negotiate as soon as possible, and then we will sign a contract after the negotiation."
