Although there is still a big gap between it and top film companies such as Huanyu Film and Television, with the size and strength of Huarui Film and Television, it must be more than enough to distribute a small-budget film like "Night Club".

If you can negotiate and hand over the movie to them for distribution, it will be a good choice for Fang Bo.

"Manager Song, I don't know how much your company is willing to pay to buy out the domestic screening rights of "Night Club"?"

"3 million." Song Huaiyuan said a very tempting number in a flat tone.

Fang Bo couldn't help but fall into a momentary distraction.

3 million, that sounds like a lot of money.

The total production cost of "Night Club" is less than 400,000 yuan, which is enough to shoot 7 "Night Club" and more!

Fang Bo's parents have been busy in the noodle shop for half their lives, and they haven't even earned 1 million, and he spent a few months making a movie, and now with a little head, he can turn 400,000 into 3 million!

Regardless, this seems like an offer that cannot be refused.

For a moment, Fang Bo even felt that he had already said yes.

But he still didn't.

Fang Bo's silence made Song Huaiyuan think that he was dissatisfied with the price, and said: "Director Fang, with all due respect, although I personally appreciate your directing level, there are indeed some problems with "Nightclub". ”

"A single scene, a simple costume, and a lack of box office appeal due to the lack of big-name stars will affect the box office expectations of this movie."

And according to the content presented in "Night Club", the production cost of the movie may not exceed 1 million, so 3 million is already a very sincere price. Fang Dao, I hope you can think about it again. ”

After that, Song Huaiyuan was mentally prepared to listen to Fang Bo's price increase.

In fact, although he said so just now, 3 million is not his bottom line price.

He is indeed more optimistic about the box office prospects of this movie, of course, hundreds of millions are too far away, but it is still very possible to gain 20 or 30 million box office.

So before making this call, he reported to the president of the company about "Night Club", and the buyout price he proposed to the president at that time was 5 million!

As long as it can be bought within 5 million, even if it adds millions of publicity and distribution costs, the box office of 20 or 30 million will be profitable, not to mention that it can continue to operate in the future.

Therefore, as long as Fang Bo doesn't refuse, it's a big deal to discuss.

But Fang Bo's answer greatly surprised Song Huaiyuan.

"Manager Song, I believe in your sincerity, but I prefer to cooperate in the form of split account issuance rather than buying out."

Fang Bo's silence just now was actually his inner hesitation, whether to choose to earn a buyout fee and settle in his pocket, or choose to share the account to fight for the expected box office revenue.

The former is of course very stable, and the income of exchanging 400,000 for 3 million is also very attractive, while the latter has many uncertain risks, after all, whether the box office of a movie is more or less, no one can say before it is released.

But after thinking about it, Fang Bo finally chose the latter.

Although his worst plan before was to wait for the film festival to end, if no one really cared about it, he would sell the film at a low price of one or two million, if he thought about it, 3 million was already completely acceptable.

But now that the opportunity is in front of him, judging from his box office estimate of "Night Club", it is undoubtedly too safe to choose only three or four million buyout fees.

Anyway, the total cost of the movie is less than 400,000, even if the box office after the release is unsatisfactory, even if there is a total box office of several million, it is impossible to lose money after sharing, and it is definitely possible to make a small profit of hundreds of thousands.

Horizontal and vertical is the difference between small profits, big profits, and very profits, and it is worth taking a little risk.

Hearing that Fang Bo was going to divide the account, the hesitant person suddenly became Song Huaiyuan.

From Fang Bo's point of view, account sharing is a risk, but from the perspective of Song Huaiyuan and Huarui Film and Television, a buyout is a risk.

He took the risk and offered a sincere price, thinking that Fang Bo would definitely accept it, it was nothing more than a little price, but Fang Bo took the initiative to ask for a split account, which made him not expect.

Song Huaiyuan didn't give an answer immediately, but asked curiously: "Director Fang, are you so optimistic about "Night Club"?" ”

After making a decision, Fang Bo suddenly felt much more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Manager Song, why do you ask me this question, of course I am very optimistic about the movie I made myself." ”

"What's more, aren't you also optimistic about this movie, otherwise, you wouldn't have offered a buyout price of 3 million."

"That's just as well." Song Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Director Fang, it's not easy for me to make a decision on the matter of account sharing and issuance, so it's better for you to give me a little time and let me think about it again." ”

"No problem." Fang Bo didn't urge him to agree immediately, and said with a smile: "Manager Song, it's not a few days before the award ceremony, it's better to wait for the award ceremony, how about we talk about it in detail after the award ceremony?" ”

Song Huaiyuan was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "Director Fang, you are really optimistic about this movie, then I wish you an award in advance." ”

"Manager Song, accept your auspicious words."

agreed to talk after the award ceremony, Song Huaiyuan was about to hang up the phone, and suddenly thought of another thing, "By the way, Director Fang, from a personal point of view, I want to remind you of one thing." If a distribution company wants to buy foreign rights from you during the festival, try not to agree to it first. ”

"Foreign copyright?" Fang Bo noticed this word and wondered, "Is there any special reason?" ”

"You are still a newcomer, and foreign copyrights can't be sold at a price, so instead of selling foreign copyrights at a low price at this time, it's better to wait for the movie to be released in China. If the box office results and the audience's reputation are not bad, at least the price can be raised. ”

"That's the case, I understand, Manager Song, thank you for the reminder."

Hanging up the phone, Fang Bo let out a sigh.

Finally, the first distributor has come to the door, and regardless of whether the final result is a buyout or a split, at least the distribution of the film is no longer a problem.

……

That afternoon, the female reporter posted Mr. Wu's interview online.

With the fame of his father Wu Shaolin, Wu Xiaofei's popularity is not low, and the topic is about the Yanjing Film Festival, which is even more attention-grabbing.

Criticizing the lack of artistic value of competitors' films, Wu Xiaofei's words are undoubtedly controversial, but "Dream Chaser" was hyped up by Huanyu Film and Television, and all kinds of professionals are praising this movie, so even Wu Xiaofei seems to have become a big director.

In contrast, the fledgling Fang Bo is obscure.

Therefore, even if Wu Xiaofei's words are thorny, they are considered to be the points of his predecessors, and few people refute him, but many people agree with his statement, asking Fang Bo to pay attention to the depth of the movie, assume the responsibility of a filmmaker, and so on.

Fang Bo, who was lying on the gun, was helpless, even if he was criticized by others, it was nothing, but Wu Xiaofei made "Dream Chaser" like that, he didn't reflect on what was wrong with his movie, but put a pig's nose in the onion and pretended to be an elephant.

However, Fang Bo, who is not famous, has no channel even if he wants to speak out, so he has to calm down and follow the people on the Internet.
