If it is a special effects blockbuster with an investment of four or five billion, it is not surprising that more than 30% of the film will be arranged.

However, "Crazy Stone" only invested 80 million.

In terms of the starring lineup, the salary will not exceed 25 million, and most of the investment is used on the blade.

In fact, film and television investment is not simply spending money to make movies.

This is an investment project with a lot of doorways in it.

Even if Fang Xing can use 30 million to shoot "Crazy Stone", it is impossible to invest only 30 million.

Because the cake is not easy to divide.

When a company develops to a certain height, the exchange of resources is inevitable.

Therefore, "Crazy Stone" was led by Ark Culture, followed by many film and television investment companies such as Penguin Pictures and Maoyan Pictures.

If he first started filming TV series, Fang Xing often directed and acted with zero pay, because he had no money.

It's different now.

If Fang Xing doesn't take the money, it will be difficult to calculate.

Therefore, Fang Xing served as the director and producer of "Crazy Stone", and directly took 15 million plus 7% of the director's share.

This is the top standard of a great director.

Even though Fang Xing has not yet proven his strength in the film industry, from the beginning of this project, the director's share is based on the top standard.

The money seems to be left to right, but it has to be poured into this hand.

As for whether the investor agrees, there is no need to consider it.

If Penguin Pictures and Maoyan Pictures do not agree with Fang Xing's treatment as a top director, it is very simple, just don't vote.

That's how this account is calculated, so the 80 million investment in "Crazy Stone" is actually very conservative.

The reason why Fang Xing is so confident is also because he has confidence in "Crazy Stone".

If you change to other film and television companies, you usually don't play like this.

Generally, film and television companies try to increase investment as much as possible and make the project bigger.

Fang Xing is different, from the beginning of the project, the investment amount is so much, if you want to invest, you can invest, if you don't want to invest, don't force it, and even if you want to invest more, you can't even invest more.

……

Now, Fang Xing has offered Penguin Pictures a guaranteed box office contract of 2 billion, which is a bit surprising for a movie with an investment of 80 million.

Generally speaking, a movie with an investment of 80 million, without counting the cost of publicity, can basically recover the investment if the total box office can reach 320 million.

Therefore, for the film industry, it is a fantasy for a movie with an investment of 80 million yuan to offer a box office guarantee of 2 billion.

Moreover, 2 billion is not the upper limit of Fang Xing, if Zhang Changfeng can get a higher film schedule, he dares to shout a bigger number.

This kind of confidence made Zhang Changfeng marvel at the same time, but also puzzled.

Although the guaranteed box office can skyrocket the interests of Penguin Pictures, if the project fails, it will still have an impact on his leadership in the company.

Therefore, Zhang Changfeng asked again: "Brother Fang, are you sure you're not joking?" ”

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "I'm sure, I'll just say it." I only watch the film schedule and sign the contract now, if Mr. Zhang is not optimistic about my movie, it doesn't matter. I'll go to Sheng Rong to talk, the box office guarantee of 2 billion should allow Sheng Rong to give me all the scheduled films. ”

Shengrong Film Distribution Company is one of the three major film distribution companies in China, and its film scheduling resources can reach more than 20%.

There is competition and there is pressure.

Zhang Changfeng finally understood what Fang Xing meant, this is the beginning of the sword on the film arrangement, and the sky-high price guarantee of 2 billion is just for the film schedule.

As a competitor, Zhang Changfeng knows Sheng Rong too well, if Fang Xing really opens a guarantee of 2 billion, Sheng Rong will definitely agree.

Zhang Changfeng is even more embarrassed now, do you want "Halfway Marrying" or "Crazy Stone"?

Penguin Pictures has so many scheduling resources in its hands, and it has given "Crazy Stone", and the entertainment "Halfway Marry" will definitely find other distribution companies to cooperate.

Of course, there is another way, which is to reschedule one of the films.

However, both movies have already begun to warm up in the early stage, and their attitudes are very resolute, that is, they want to enter the summer file, and they must be the first batch of summer files.

Zhang Changfeng was indeed a little embarrassed, but he was not so embarrassed.

Because of the 2 billion box office guarantee, it has been guaranteed that the performance of Penguin Pictures in the summer will not be bad.

If "Crazy Stone" hits the street at the box office in the end, Zhang Changfeng's loss is that the project fails, which is a little embarrassing.

Therefore, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If Mr. Fang is really sure to sign a box office guarantee of 2 billion, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." But you can't give 25% of the film schedule, and you will be given 24% at most. ”

He wants to leave a little bit of film scheduling and test the water for a few small-budget movies.

24% is enough, Fang Xing is already very satisfied with this result.

In fact, there is another reason why Penguin Pictures wants to eat all the film scheduling resources.

That is to let Penguin Pictures focus on promoting a movie.

If Penguin Pictures releases "Crazy Stone" and "Halfway Marry" at the same time in the summer file, there are so many people, and the promotion of the two movies will definitely take care of one or the other.

Therefore, Fang's eye-catching is very simple, that is, to squeeze out the complicated entertainment "Halfway Marry", and let Penguin Pictures obediently promote "Crazy Stone".

Zhang Changfeng gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Fang is not only a good movie, but also a good hand in business negotiations. ”

This sentence is a sincere compliment, but in the case of Zhang Changfeng, he would not dare to bet so much.

Just this one movie, it was a success and soared into the sky.

Once it fails, the company's capital chain will be broken in an instant, and unless it raises funds, it is likely to go bankrupt.

It was a big gamble.

With 80 million Bo 2 billion.

It is both thrilling and exciting.

Fang Xing was very efficient, and after negotiating with Zhang Changfeng, he directly signed the contract.

The minimum box office of 2 billion and the opening of the film schedule are 24%, all written on the contract.

After signing this contract, it means that Penguin Pictures has given up the complicated entertainment "Halfway Marry".

Fanfan Entertainment soon received the news and immediately went to talk to Shengrong Pictures about distribution.

……

This action in the film industry immediately caused a lot of shock in the industry.

In a WeChat group called "Filmmaker Chat Group".

There are many people in the industry who are in this group, often chatting and exchanging news.

There is some news that is secret to the outside world, but to people in the industry, everyone actually knows it.

Chen Lidong is the production assistant of "Halfway to Marry", and when he heard the news, he immediately asked in the group:

"Penguin Pictures gave all the films to Ark Culture? Is the message accurate? ”

"Exactly, it's all given, Penguin Pictures only has one movie in the summer file."

"Is Mr. Zhang so optimistic about "Crazy Stone"? The summer schedule is all for an A-grade movie? ”

"Tell you. Fang Xing opened a sky-high box office guarantee, which made Zhang Changfeng agree. ”

"Sky-high box office guarantee? How much? ”

"Is there a billion?"

"Be bold and guess."

"Fang Xing's film investment is only 80 million, right? Is the billion box office guarantee not enough? ”

"Guess."

"1.5 billion?"

"Be bolder."

"More? Is it 2 billion? ”

"Yes, Fang Xing directly opened a box office guarantee of 2 billion, this kind of contract, Penguin Pictures is definitely willing to sign it."

"Producer Chen, you have to find another distribution company for your movie, right?"

Chen Lidong saw the discussion in the group and continued: "I'm already talking to Sheng Rong." ”

"Is Fang Xing crazy? With an investment of 80 million, dare to open a guaranteed box office of 2 billion, if you lose money, you have to sell yourself to pay back, right? ”

"It's not enough to sell yourself, but it's estimated that you have to sell the company's shares. However, with his ability, it is estimated that he will be able to pay back the money by going back to make two TV series. ”

"If you dare to play such a big game in China, there should be no one else except Fang Xing."

"There are still some, who didn't sign the gambling contract two years ago, and now he is crazy about filming to pay back."

"Has anyone seen 'Crazy Stone' in production? Tell me, what about the quality? ”

The finished film of "Crazy Stone" has been produced, and when you talk about cooperation with the distribution company, you will usually show the team of the distribution company the finished film.

Film companies need to negotiate contracts based on the quality of the film.

Therefore, there must be people in the industry who have watched "Crazy Stone", but they have signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot leak the content of the movie to the outside world.

Of course, if it's just a casual chat, it's not a big problem.

Therefore, someone in the WeChat group spoke:

"I heard from a friend who watched it, it's very good-looking, but it's hard to say how much the box office can get."

"No matter how high the quality of "Crazy Stone" is, it should not be as high as "Halfway Marry", right? Li Kexin, Zhu Yiting, and Liu Wenwen can each carry the box office, and this movie must be a summer file to compete for one. ”

"Penguin Pictures gave up "Halfway Marry", I didn't expect it."

"There is a good show to watch this summer."

……

About "Crazy Stone" squeezing out "Halfway Marrying" and eating all the scheduled films of Penguin Pictures, I don't know how it spread to Zhu Yiting's fan base.

Now it's frying.

Zhu Yiting is now one of the top twin stars in the film industry, the youngest Mr. 5 billion.

The fanaticism of fans can be called the most domestic entertainment.

Therefore, fans heard that "Crazy Stone" squeezed out the schedule of "Halfway Marry", and went straight to the rush.

On Weibo, bean sprouts and other online platforms, all fans are crazy and scolding:

[FX is really shameless, brushing means to grab a straight schedule. 】

[FX this dog thing, why did it come out and disgusting people again? ] 】

[Filming TV series to brush scores, making movies to grab films, internal entertainment tumors, when will you be able to rough the entertainment industry? ] 】

[After giving birth to a child, what movie did you run out to make? Who wants to watch a movie made by a married greasy man like you? 】

[FX rolls rough entertainment circle! ] 】

[FX Rolling Rough Entertainment +1]

Among these scoldings, there are also some passers-by who are rational and questioning:

[A movie with an investment of 80 million, can you grab a film with an investment of 150 million? ] Why am I so unconvinced? 】

[I also think it's weird, generally speaking, they are all S+ big productions, and they are qualified to grab the films. 】

According to the law of cinema scheduling, under normal circumstances, it is the opening and scheduling of special effects blockbusters that are the highest.

After all, the investment figures are there, and the theater manager generally only looks at the data to schedule the film.

As for whether the follow-up film schedule will rise or fall, it all depends on strength.

With a high attendance rate and good box office results, the proportion of natural films will rise.

If the attendance rate is low and the box office performance is poor, the film schedule will naturally decline.

Therefore.

Under normal circumstances, a movie with an investment of 80 million is unlikely to compete with a movie with an investment of 150 million.

In the movie discussion group of Bean Sprouts.com.

An industry insider stood up and posted a revelation:

"As a person who has half a foot in the entertainment industry, let's reveal a more accurate news.

"Did "Crazy Stone" steal the film? It can be said that it was robbed, or it can be said that it was not robbed.

Because in the end, Penguin Pictures only signed "Crazy Stone", and "Halfway Marry" went to Sheng Rong to cooperate.

In other words, "Crazy Stone" takes Penguin Pictures' film scheduling resources, and has nothing to do with "Halfway Marry".

"However, it would not be right to say that there was no robbery at all.

"Because Penguin Pictures originally wanted to release the two films together, if it really follows this plan, the two films will most likely share Penguin Pictures' scheduling resources equally, but "Halfway Marry" may be slightly higher.

Therefore, "Crazy Stone" can be regarded as directly squeezing out "Halfway Marry" and monopolizing the resources of Penguin Pictures.

"So the question is, how did Fang Xing do it?

The reason is very simple, Fang Xing gave Penguin Pictures a sky-high box office guarantee.

"As for the specific figures, they can't be disclosed for the time being, and they are always sky-high guaranteed.

"If "Crazy Stone" really hits the street at the box office, then fans of the TV series should be very happy, and Fang Xing really wants to sell himself to make a drama and pay back the money."

……

This breaking news post was sent out and quickly rushed to the hot search.

attracted a lot of fans, passers-by, and viewers to discuss:

[Fang Xing's guts are so fat, he dares to play like this. 】

[What was the name of the director who signed a gambling contract the year before last, but the movie was banned and he was forced to sell himself to make a drama to pay back? ] 】

[It's over, I suddenly want to watch the plot of Fang Xing's selling himself to film a drama to repay the money. 】

[Fans should also be ecstatic, maybe as soon as the pressure comes up, Fang will wake up and make money by singing songs. Maybe the concert will be held too. 】

In these discussions, Zhu Yiting and L.burst's fans are the most malicious.

Because Zhu Yiting and Fang Xing formed a head-to-head competition in the summer file, and L.burst's song was just rubbed on the ground by "China in the Lights", incompetent and angry, with nowhere to vent.

Therefore, these two fan groups scolded the hardest:

[FX's concert of this waste dog? Who will go to see it? As many games as you play, you will lose as many games. 】

[That is, FX is a waste dog, and it will only brush the list and score, and the concert will be watched for an event that costs real money to buy tickets? ] 】

Regarding the topic of Fang Xing's concert, every year, entertainment media will come out to write and eat traffic.

Because Fang Xing has dominated the music charts for many years, and he has won the three major Golden Melody Awards, but so far, not a single concert has been held.

When L.burst fans ridiculed Fang Xing's concert and no one watched it, fans who started listening to Fang Xing's songs from "Nocturne" and "Blue and White Porcelain" suddenly couldn't help it.

[Who says no one reads it?] As long as Fang Xing dares to open, as long as he is in China, I will definitely watch it. 】

[When Fang Xing sang "Nocturne", I was still in college, and now I have graduated and worked for three years. When I graduated, the four of us in the dormitory said that the first concert that Fang Xing would open would be watched together in our dormitory as long as it was in China. 】

[Upstairs, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy a ticket by then.] 】

[I also feel this way, if Fang Xing really holds a concert, the tickets may be lost in seconds. 】

[So what now?] Is "Crazy Stone" to watch or not? Or let this movie hit the streets, let him make dramas and sing obediently, don't always be unprofessional. 】
