Chapter 352 VAM Agreement

Because Wang Sanri is very good at being a man, Qin Xiaolong and he want to have a good conversation.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Qin Xiaolong cut to the topic and said: "Director Wang, Sister Xia should have told you, we invited you over today, mainly because we want you to tailor a movie for Bao'er, I don't know when you have time here?" ”

"I have time now, and I just have a script in my hand, which belongs to martial arts dramas, and I personally think it's quite suitable for Bao'er."

Wang Sanri said, gesturing to his assistant Liu Ke.

"Xiao Liu, take the new script I wrote to Mr. Qin and them to see"

Liu Ke hurriedly turned on the tablet and opened the electronic version of the new script.

"This is the second part of "The Battle of the Forbidden Peak"?"

Qin Xiaolong said after glancing at the title of the play.

"Yes, the first director is Wei Qiang, I am a screenwriter, and there were a lot of things I wanted to express that I couldn't express at that time, so I always wanted to make up for the regrets of making a second part, but for various reasons, the shooting plan has been put on hold indefinitely."

"But now it's okay, I can finally realize this long-cherished wish, and I've decided on the male lead, so it's up to the female lead."

Wang Sanri quickly replied.

Qin Xiaolong probably skimmed the script, I have to say, Wang Sanri is really talented, this drama is ups and downs, confusing, and the plot is infinitely reversed, and it looks even more exciting than Infernal Affairs!

"This drama is really well written, Sister Xia, you can also watch it."

After Qin Xiaolong finished speaking, he gave the script to Dong Jingxia, and Dong Jingxia read the script with Bao'er.

"It's really good, it's very interesting, and it should be a big seller."

Dong Jingxia commented.

"Director Wang is worthy of being a great director, and I can't help but have an urge to rush into the cinema just by reading the script now."

Bao'er complimented.

"Hehe, I carefully polished this script for two years to complete, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take it out and show it."

Wang Sanri replied a little proudly.

Before he became a director, he was actually a screenwriter, and he could write a script in a week if he wanted to.

And this "Battle of the Top of the Forbidden City 2" was prepared by him in order to impact the Oscars, and he spent a lot of effort for this, which is not at all comparable to the routine scripts he wrote.

For this reason, the main actors of this play are personally talked to one by one, in order to ensure the quality of the film.

"Director Wang, I see that you say that this movie will invest about 200 million, and the male protagonists and male supporting roles are all big names in the entertainment industry, such a big investment makes Bao'er a newcomer to be the female number one, isn't this a bit risky?"

Qin Xiaolong couldn't help but ask.

He just glanced at the final cast, there are two actors, Dehua and Jiahui, the female supporting actress is Zhuzhu, and there are even Qingxia and Chaowei special cameos!

Such a lineup can no longer be said to be luxurious, it is simply luxury!

In comparison, Baoer's identity as an Internet celebrity is obviously a bit unqualified.

"I think it's quite appropriate for Miss Bao'er to play the female lead, she has an ethereal temperament, which is very in line with the image of a fairy in my mind, as long as she can perform in her true colors, there is basically no problem."

Wang Sanri said with a smile.

Recently, he has been thinking about the female number one, and the female number one he originally set was Yifei, but Yifei was filming another film, and it was too late.

Later, he changed the female number one to Da Mi Mi.

Originally, he was going to talk to Da Mi Mi about cooperation, but Dong Jingxia suddenly called him and said that they wanted to hold Bao'er in Mythical Entertainment.

At that time, the first time he saw Bao'er's photo, Wang Sanri basically made a decision in his heart, and asked Bao'er to be the female number one.

There is another point he didn't say, that is, Bao'er has always been very popular now, and let her be the first woman, which invisibly gave the movie a lot of publicity.

"Okay, I voted for this play, and I asked Director Wang to give me more guidance in the future."

Wang Sanri is the most successful commercial director, and seeing that he has so much confidence in Bao'er, Qin Xiaolong naturally won't say anything more.

"Mr. Qin, listen to what you mean, you won't be preparing to invest in the whole drama alone, right?"

Wang Sanri hurriedly confirmed.

"What's the matter, can't you?"

Qin Xiaolong replied.

"Yes, yes, but very few people in the industry do that. As long as it is a big production, there will generally be many investors, so it is also to share the risk, even if it loses, it will not lose much. ”

Wang replied on the third day.

"Director Wang, let me ask you a question, are you confident in the box office of your movie?"

Qin Xiaolong then asked.

"I have absolute confidence in my movie, but the market is difficult to grasp, it's not that there are movies with a good reputation but box office hits, so we have to prepare for the worst."

Wang Sanri hurriedly explained.

Even when directors like Ridley Scott and Spielberg are well-known in Hollywood, he doesn't think he will be able to make a profit.

"Then I don't know what Director Wang's expectations are for the final box office of your movie?"

Qin Xiaolong asked with a smile.

"I don't think there's a problem with a minimum guarantee of 500 million, normally speaking, the box office of this movie should reach 1 billion, plus the word-of-mouth fermentation in the later stage, there is even a glimmer of hope to hit 2 billion."

"Of course, this is all my prediction, and the specific box office depends on whether the audience is willing to buy it."

"After all, you should also know that many people are scolding me for being the king of bad movies now, and I'm afraid that it will affect the box office again because of this."

Wang Sanri groaned slightly.

He's not a god, he's just a human, all he can do is make a good movie to the best of his ability, and as for the final box office, it depends on his fate.

"Then I don't know if Director Wang dares to sign a gambling agreement with me?"

Qin Xiaolong spoke again.

"Sign a VAM agreement? Isn't it how Mr. Qin wants to sign? ”

Wang Sanri raised his eyebrows.

"I can be the sole producer of your drama, if the box office reaches 500 million, I will give you a commission of 20 million, if not, you won't get a dime."

"If the box office exceeds 600 million, for every 100 million, I will give you an extra 2 million commissions, and if it exceeds 2 billion, I will give you another reward of 30 million!"

Qin Xiaolong quickly replied.

According to the general return on investment of three times in the film industry, an investment of 200 million and 600 million can pay off, so Qin Xiaolong formulated such a VAM agreement.

In this way, even if the box office is really lost, there is a guarantee of 500 million, plus there is no need to pay Wang Sanri, he actually can't lose much.

Signing VAM agreements is very common in business, and Wang Sanri is no stranger to this, he has signed them several times before.

After a little silence, Wang San Ri responded.

"I can sign this agreement with Mr. Qin, but I have to add one more thing, no one can interfere during the entire filming period, and this drama must be fully dominated by me."

The most taboo thing in making movies is the intervention of laymen, and this "Battle at the Top of the Forbidden City 2" has poured a lot of effort into Wang Sanri, and he doesn't want to make it into a bad movie again.
