Chapter 042: Han Dong's Ambition
March 10, 2009.
"The Nameless", which has been released for more than 40 days, is officially drawn.
"Tencent Entertainment reports for you: 22-year-old cutting-edge director Fang Ziheng's debut film "The Nameless" was painted in the early hours of last night, with a total box office of 237 million, ranking third in the annual box office list of Chinese films!"
"Sina Entertainment Report: The film market is booming, "The Nameless" is a small-cost production of 10 million, and the ultra-high box office of 230 million in 40 days of release, and the cutting-edge director Fang Ziheng has become a guest of honor of major film giants in one fell swoop!"
With the film drawn, "Nobody" provided the last wave of popularity for major media.
Fang Ziheng also officially gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry as a director.
In the office, he took out the script of "Detective Chinatown", handed it to Lin Feifei and said: "The script will be printed for three points first, two copies will be brought to China Film, and one copy will be kept by you first." ”
For "Detective Chinatown", Fang Ziheng is very cautious and cautious.
He took two scripts to China Film, in addition to talking about cooperation, he also had to set up a project to back up to radio and television.
As for the rest, wait until the crew is ready to copy it to the actors.
"Okay."
Concubine Lin nodded, she didn't mention that Deng Chao and Baoqiang came to sign the contract today, and they didn't need to give them the script first.
"Sister Lin, you inform Wen Muye and ask him to take someone to Thailand to step on the spot first and contact the filming location."
"In addition, inform Hua Yi that we will go over in the afternoon!"
After explaining, Fang Ziheng went downstairs with two scripts and went to China Film Group.
Chen Yu had already called to urge him to go over as soon as possible.
It is estimated that Han Dong learned that Wang Zhongjun had found him, and he was worried that he would be cut off by Hua Yi, so he asked Chen Yucui to urge him.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Fang Ziheng drove to China Film Group alone.
Chen Yu greeted him in the hall, the two exchanged a few words, and went straight to the elevator to Han Dong's office.
"Han Dong, hello."
"Director Fang is here, please take a seat, Xiao Wang, take out my big red robe."
Han Dong said hello to Fang Ziheng, got up and walked out from behind the desk, and the three of them sat on the sofa in the hospitality area together.
"The share of "Nobody" has been calculated, I know that you are about to prepare for the second play, you will go to the finance side to go through the formalities later, and I will ask them to transfer the money to the account of Hengyu Media as soon as possible."
"Thank you so much Han Dong, I'll wait for the rice to go to the pot now!" Fang Ziheng clasped his hands together and sincerely thanked him.
In these years, box office sharing is not a simple matter, but quite troublesome.
If you don't calculate it in advance, it will take a lot of time.
In one, the theater chain below is not so stupid, and the movie will be handed over to the box office as soon as it is painted.
If the relationship between many movies is not enough, the sharing can drag you for more than half a year.
Han Dong asked the finance department to calculate the share of "Nobody" in advance, and at first glance, he was ready to pay in advance and bear the box office that the theater chain had not yet handed in.
"Nobody" has a total box office of 237 million, and it needs to deduct 5% of the special fund and 3.3% of the business tax.
After calculating the remaining 210.9 million revenues, 56% of the income from erasing the theater chain, and the net box office is still 92.796 million.
Then it is necessary to deduct the 7 million publicity costs invested by China Film and the 3 million publicity expenses invested by Hengyu.
As a result, there are 85.796 million left.
Then, it is necessary to remove 9% of the distribution fee of China Film 7.721 million.
The income that really fell into the producer's pocket was only 78.075 million.
Hengyu Media invested 5 million, accounting for 41.7% of the total investment of "Nobody".
In other words, Hengyu's final income was 32.557 million.
After deducting the cost of five million, the net profit is 27.557 million!
In addition to these, Fang Ziheng also received an additional 1.2 million remuneration as a director, editor, and starring.
The remuneration is paid by the bad monkeys of China Film, Beiying, and Ning Hao according to the proportion of investment, and it will be deducted from the income in the later stage.
Fang Ziheng prepared "The Nameless" in mid-September 08, started filming in October, and finished in early December.
and then painted in March 09, which lasted a total of six months, and I didn't even earn 30 million when I was full.
Damn it.
The total box office is 230 million, and even 15% of the proportion income has not been earned.
..........
In the office, Fang Ziheng and the three of them drank tea and chatted for a few words before taking out the script of "Detective Chinatown" and handing it to Han Dong and Chen Yu.
"Han Dong, this drama will be filmed abroad throughout the whole process, and the investment amount is quite large, so I decided to cooperate with Huayi."
"Oh.."
Han Dong's face remained unchanged, he glanced at him, and asked, "How big of a plate is Director Fang going to make this time?" ”
"60 million!"
Fang Ziheng said in a deep voice, pointing to the script analysis in the hands of the two: "This drama involves a lot of big scenes, and if it is filmed in China for 60 million, it may not be possible, so I chose to shoot in Thailand." ”
Chen Yu raised his head abruptly and looked at him in surprise.
Shooting in China, 60 million can't be done!
Bragging, right?
Hengyu Media's details, he is not unaware.
How dare you play with more than 50 million plates?
Han Dong didn't move at all, he understood the difference between China and Thailand, and knew that the prices and banknote exchange on both sides were different.
With a domestic investment of 60 million, the effect of 80 million or even 100 million can be filmed there.
He nodded and continued to ask, "How much share does Hua Yi want?" ”
"Give them 20% at most, I haven't talked about it yet, Sister Lin and I will go to Huayi in the afternoon." Fang Ziheng took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile.
With "The Nameless" as the foundation, he is more courageous.
According to his idea, in the first "Detective Chinatown", China Film accounts for 25% of the share, Huayi 20%, and Hengyu's family must occupy 55%.
Otherwise, after a movie is made, he will have to work for someone else.
Han Dong smiled, didn't speak, lowered his head and continued to read the script.
Sitting in his position, he naturally will not discuss the details of cooperation with Fang Ziheng, and Chen Yu will be responsible for these things.
Not only the investment shares, but also the issuance costs.
20 minutes later!
"Okay, good, Director Fang is talented, worthy of being an excellent director of the younger generation, and he can write such an excellent script."
After reading the script, Han Dong patted his thigh happily and said three good words in a row.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
Han Dong really didn't expect that Fang Ziheng's second play would bring him such a big surprise.
He has been in China Film for many years, and to be honest, he has always liked blockbusters, big cass.
After Li Press's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Lao Mouzi's "Hero" came out, this idea reached its peak.
It's a pity that Chen Daren's "Wuji" pounced on a dog, leaving a pretending quotation that no one could understand in ten years.
In Wu Baige, who was personally invited back by Han Dong, a "Red Cliff" was lost to his grandmother's house.
An investment of 80 million US dollars!
is equivalent to 600 million soft sister coins, and the actor's salary alone is 100 million, which can shoot a large-scale costume film.
"Red Cliff" has two parts, and the total box office can reach the cost of investment.
Han Dong's heart was dripping blood, and he had the idea of swallowing Wu Baige alive.
As the helmsman of Zhongying, he can't show it, and he doesn't dare to show it.
It wasn't until "The Nameless" came out that Han Dong saw hope and made money.
Of course, what he wants is not specific profits, but the thriving Chinese film market.
Han Dong had a lot of thoughts in his heart, looked at Fang Ziheng with appreciative eyes, and said solemnly: "Director Fang, have you ever thought about making a costume blockbuster?"
"The kind with a total investment of more than 200 million?"
