Yu Min's work efficiency is very high, and three days later, he invited representatives of other major theaters to watch the movie.

This is her role as a producer and head of distribution, which can save Li Yi a lot of trouble.

"This comedy movie is very mature, not bad, good laughs, and the nostalgic atmosphere is also very good."

"I like it, it's funny and warm, and the box office will definitely not be bad."

"The new songs in the movie are also very good, and I think the audience will really enjoy these easter eggs."

"Mr. Li's talent is really incomparable, my daughter likes to listen to your songs very much, I didn't expect you to even make movies so well!"

“.”

The representatives of several major theaters are very polite, after watching the movie, a rainbow fart came directly, Li Yi listened to it very comfortably, but he was not very good at dealing with this kind of scene, and he couldn't take it seriously, he just kept smiling and waving his hand in response.

After the politeness, someone immediately asked: "Are you sure that the movie will pass the review before the National Day?" I'm worried that if the tickets are all registered, and if I don't catch up by then, then things will be in trouble. ”

"Mr. Wang, don't worry."

Yu Min obviously knew that Li Yi's father-in-law could not be involved, and without waiting for Li Yi to speak, she said in a confident tone: "We at Longda Pictures have never done anything that we can't be sure of, and besides, everyone has finished watching the movie, and there are no sensitive things in it, and the final ending is also very warm and positive, and it must be no problem to pass the trial." ”

At this time, Ronda's reputation is still quite good.

got Yu Min's assurance, and everyone was also relieved.

Li Yi glanced at Yu Min, he really had to serve Zhang Yinger well when he went back, if it weren't for his girlfriend's background, Yu Min would not have been able to help guarantee him.

"I'll have to go back to a meeting and have a good conversation."

Some people are embarrassed: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Li, you also know that there are many blockbusters released on the National Day, and the film schedule is very tense, and some of them are still tasks given by the superiors." ”

"This is normal, every year on the National Day." Yu Min smiled and chatted with the other party.

When it comes to scheduling films, a meeting is naturally necessary, after all, the opinions of all parties must be weighed.

But what is certain is that they had already had a meeting before they came, and this embarrassment was just for better negotiations.

Not to mention that Yu Min knows, even Li Yi, a novice in the shopping mall, can see it.

Blue Star's film sharing model, first pay 5% of the special fund for film development, and then deduct 3.5% of the business tax, and the rest, theaters basically take 50%, and other producers, distributors and theaters will be discussed separately.

As for Li Yi, the distribution share for Longda Pictures is 6%, which is fixed, and this also includes the share for Longda Pictures.

And the representatives of several major cinemas who came over today still have the identity of the director of the alliance cinema line, which is actually a whole, wearing the same pants.

Domestic theaters, large and small, have almost been closed by Longda Pictures and Alliance Cinemas.

Looking for an opportunity, Li Yi suddenly asked curiously: "I've heard that the producer and the distributor have a bet, I wonder if the producer can also have a gambling agreement with the theater company?" ”

Hearing this, everyone was also curious.

Yu Min also looked surprised and said: "It can be, but the risk is too great, and this requires the consent of other investors in the film." ”

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "What if we Fanxing bear the losses and gains of the guarantee by ourselves?" Is that okay? ”

"Everyone, let's take a moment and give us a few minutes." Yu Min frowned, as if she was a little angry that Li Yi's thoughts were not informed in advance, and she and Li Yi walked out of the conference room.

In the conference room, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, obviously a little moved, and simply discussed with each other.

"How much do you think this movie will gross?"

"Seven or eight billion, but if you're lucky, a billion should be fine."

"The comedy market has been sluggish in the past two years, and the audience has been looking forward to a good comedy for a long time, the quality of this movie is really good, and the publicity and distribution are also good, I think the minimum guarantee must be one billion."

"It's a bit exaggerated to guarantee a billion yuan, and Teng Jingfei's "Twenty Years Old Again", that film is not bad, aren't these two movies going to fight in the ring, if one side has a bad reputation, it will definitely have a certain impact on the box office."

"That's the reason, but obviously, "Charlotte's Troubles" is funnier, and Teng Jingfei is still a bit old-fashioned."

"No matter how much he does, the higher the prediction, the better it is for us, isn't it, if you really want to bet, you have to set at least one billion, no, 1.2 billion!"

“.”

They are optimistic about "Charlotte's Troubles", however, the National Day blockbusters are piled up, the competition is very large, no matter how high it is, they think that the early billions are very remarkable, and it is also a prediction made for the sake of good publicity and distribution, and there are big names and traffic to participate.

After all, it's just a movie with a cost of 30 million.

Everyone was discussing, and Li Yi and Yu Min outside the door, one was looking at his mobile phone and was replying to his girlfriend's message, and the other took the last cigarette, threw the slender cigarette butt to the ground, and stepped on it.

Li Yi glanced at the ground and pouted, "Sister Min, you just flick cigarette ash on the ground, why do you still throw cigarette butts everywhere?" ”

It's so unqualified!

"I'll help you talk about tens of millions of dollars."

Yu Min smiled, and his expression became serious again: "Are you really sure you want to bet?" As far as I know, your stars are still quite tight on funds, and this is not a small amount. ”

The plan they discussed is that the maximum guarantee is 1.2 billion, and the floating share is 2%, which means that if the box office does not reach 1.2 billion, the 3% will be calculated separately according to the box office of 1.2 billion, so Fanxing will have to pay an additional 21.96 million.

However, if it is exceeded, it will be calculated according to the box office of the final release.

"It's up to them, if you can talk, you can bet on it." Li Yi's tone is relaxed, he is a person who is confident in the box office of two billion.

Of course, if there is self-confidence, there is self-confidence, and the minimum bet is really guaranteed to be 2 billion, then he Li Yi is really a gambling dog, unless the theater can take the theater together and give a higher floating share.

Seeing that Li Yi had made up his mind, Yu Min no longer persuaded him, raised his head to signal, instantly sank his face, and walked towards the conference room.

Seeing this, several representatives of the theater chain immediately regretted that they were too involved in the discussion just now, and forgot to go to the corner to eavesdrop on their quarrel.

One person looked at Li Yi with a smile and asked, "Mr. Li, what is the statute of the gambling you just mentioned?" ”

"It's to set a guaranteed box office on the negotiated share, if the box office does not reach the guaranteed base, then we will give you the account according to the guaranteed box office, and vice versa."

Li Yi didn't even look at Yu Min, looking like a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and looked at everyone: "What, are you interested?" ”

"Of course I'm interested, according to Mr. Li's previous estimates, is it possible that the guaranteed box office will be 2 billion?" It was the one who spoke who had previously proposed that the higher the better.

"How is that possible?"

Li Yi smiled: "Two billion is too exaggerated, this is not a bet, it is completely a money." ”

"No, no."

"That's it, Mr. Li, I'm very optimistic about your movie, I don't know about two billion, but it's easy to get 1.5 billion anyway!"

"1.5 billion is still conservative, how can you get 17.8 billion?"

This group of businessmen is really a lion with their mouths wide open.

Yu Min was afraid that Li Yi would not be able to withstand the praise and stimulation of Li Yi's youth, so he also explained the situation to him in advance.

Li is also a novice in the shopping mall, but he is not an idiot, even if he doesn't say it, he won't be fooled.

"I'm scared, I'm afraid, Producer Yu doesn't support me doing this, let's work together honestly and normally." Li Yi waved his hand.

Yu Min also "adjusted his mood" at this time, and looked professional: "Okay, okay, let's talk about the theater sharing, you have also seen the early publicity of this movie, the joint promotion of "The Voice of China", you also know how popular the audition has been in the past month or so, the prospects of this movie are still very good, you can't lose, how about 5%?" ”

For the theater chain, the lowest is 5%, and if you want to go lower, unless it is supported by the top, you can't think about it.

The other lion opened his mouth wide, and Yu Min naturally did too, and they both directly touched the opponent's bottom line.

So, the next scene is, I said my difficulty, you said your advantage, the two sides pulled for an hour, each took a step back, and finally decided on a 6% theater share.

The reason why the theater alliance can agree to 6% is largely because the film will also be released in Longda Pictures, and they are not easy to raise the price.

Li Yi dozed off when he watched from the side, feeling that this was the result of a long time ago, and the pulling of saliva seemed to be just an indispensable sense of ritual.

After talking, everyone turned their attention to Li Yi again, obviously, they were still quite interested in betting.

"You guys want to ask about the bet? That's what happened to me. ”

Li Yi thought for a while: "How about a billion guarantee, a 2% share?" ”

Several people looked at each other, a little moved, but they all shook their heads again and again, saying that it was too low.

One of them said, "1.2 billion can still be discussed." ”

Li Yi shook his head and said, "1.2 billion, that's 3%." ”

Seeing that they were going to talk again, Li Yi immediately expressed his attitude: "This is what we have discussed, and you also know that having traffic now does not mean that the box office will be high, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to see whether the movie sells or not, and the 1.2 billion guarantee is still too much of a risk for a movie with a cost of 30 million." ”

This is a return dozens of times, Li Yi is confident, but he is not a fool who stretches his neck and takes the initiative to be cut by others.

"Low cost, high return, Mr. Li, 1.2 billion is also quite risky for us."

They don't have confidence in Li Yi's films, they simply want to maximize profits while not taking such a big risk.

"So be it."

Li Yi said, "I will say a number, if it doesn't work, you won't have to talk about it", and said: "The minimum is guaranteed to be 1.5 billion, 4%. ”

At this moment, Yu Min was really surprised, Li Yi didn't say anything about this stubble, she hurriedly stopped: "Mr. Li, this matter really can't be decided with a slap on the head!" ”

Li Yi thought about it and made a hesitant expression.

Seeing this, several people didn't move on their faces, but said, "It's still too dangerous, we have to go back and have a meeting to discuss." ”

Two days later, Li Yi got a reply, and the cinema alliance agreed to do so.

Li Yi originally thought that the cinema alliance really felt that the risk was too great, so it needed to have a good meeting to discuss and evaluate the risks.

Now it seems that they do feel that it is too dangerous, but the danger is that they are worried that they will agree too quickly, and Li will also regret it?

However, the other party gave two ways to bet, with a guaranteed box office of 1.5 billion, the upper limit of 4% is the box office of 1.5 billion, and the upper limit of 3% is no upper limit.

It can be seen that the other party has been carefully calculated.

3% of this option, only if it exceeds 2 billion box office, can it earn more than the other way.

Grandma drops, this makes Li Yi embarrassed, he thinks that "Charlotte's Troubles" can exceed two billion.

But so be it. This is biased towards one's own self-confidence, rather than through market analysis and research, which is an intuition and a kind of metaphysics.

Moreover, his estimate is more than two billion, and more than a fraction is also super!

In the end, Ye Jie, who was still far away in Yangcheng, gave Li Yi great confidence over the phone: "Xiaoyi, anyway, I believe in you, no matter what decision you make, I will support you, the movie is not so fast, the momentum of The Voice is very good, several big brands are waiting to see the finished film, even if we lose at that time, we also have sufficient funds, let's do it boldly!" ”

Traitor, really a traitor!

Brother Jie didn't even watch the movie.

However, Li Yi was indeed moved, right, what are you afraid of?

In fact, he is not short of money, but he sees that he has money and does not make money, which is more uncomfortable than losing money, and he happened to hear the inside story of gambling in the industry, so he had this idea.

In the end, Li also chose to sign a 3% unlimited gambling method, and proposed that on the day of the premiere, the film schedule should not be less than 25%, and they originally negotiated a 20% film schedule, and the other party did not hesitate and agreed directly.

Both sides were afraid that the other would regret it, so the contract was signed on the same day.

When signing the contract, Li Yiyu hesitated, refused to put pen to paper, and was not afraid that others would laugh at him for being indecisive.

Until the contract was signed, the person in charge of the other party patted Li Yi on the shoulder: "Bet, we both have to take a certain risk, no matter what the final result is, it will not affect our cooperative relationship, right?" ”

How do you know I'm worried about this?

After all, the theater chain is very strong.

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Ah, yes, yes, yes!" ”

When leaving, both parties were smiling, but Li Yi's smile, in the eyes of the person in charge of the cinema alliance, was an impulsive smile for the sake of face and regret.

In fact, the box office of one billion is enough to show that they have a high opinion of this movie, 1.5 billion. It can only be said that it is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers and is blindly confident.

The movie is busy here at this stage, just waiting for the publicity and roadshow when it is released.

But Li Yi was not idle.

Because "The Voice of China" has come to the stage of the provincial competition, Li also needs to show his bottom to add attention and heat to the event.

The competition in the Beijing Division officially started, and Li Yi, together with Zhang Lei, Ye Yaodong and Zhou Siwen, served as judges.

Li Yi unexpectedly saw a familiar person, his name is Xu Junjie, who was the only one who did not forget to say hello to Zhou Siwen, who was still a "minion", at the Music House Awards Ceremony.

Isn't this an artist who has already debuted? ’

Li Yi was only a little puzzled, and he didn't think much about it, the person who can come here must not have an agent contract on him.

Subsequently, Li Yi went to Guangdong Province, Hunan Province and other places, and had enough of the "addiction" of being a judge.

At the end of August, "Charlotte's Troubles" finally passed the trial, and Li Yi's hanging heart was finally relaxed.

Li Yi was very suspicious that his father-in-law knew that he had arched his cabbage, and he was selfish and secretly retaliated!

At the same time, "Charlotte's Troubles" publicly announced that it was set for the National Day and began a series of announcements.

The Internet is also lively, and both sides are in the ring!
