Chapter 482 20% of the Shareable Box Office

Chapter 482 20% of the shareable box office

Lin Nan did not give a clear answer whether he would attend the Oscars.

If he said it now, who knows what the media would hype up in the next year. If he fell at that time, it would be a slap in the face.

"The Invisible Guest" was indeed filmed quickly, so that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei returned to China and caught up with the celebration banquet of "Lost in Thailand".

The second domestic film with a box office of over 1 billion yuan, there were many people in the circle who came to support it.

Apart from Lin Nan, Xu Zheng had the most people around him, although in everyone's opinion, the latter's foundation was a bit weak.

But no matter what, he is indeed the second director to join the 1 billion box office club.

"Director Lin, congratulations."

Jackie Chan walked over with a glass of wine and a smile on his face.

"Brother, you are too polite. I should say I am happy for you. Didn't "The Chinese Zodiac" sell for 881 million? With the foreign copyright, it must have made money."

"What? The investment is only 300 million. It is nothing compared to your company's "Lost in Thailand". The cost plus publicity and promotion is at most 40 million, right?"

Jackie Chan laughed, and his iconic big nose was particularly distracting.

Lin Nan nodded, and did not deny it. This is almost a public matter in the circle.

Wang Changtian's expression at this moment was very annoyed. He lost 10 million yuan in distribution fees.

"When will the sequel be made?"

"What sequel?" Lin Nan asked in confusion.

"Xu Zheng said that there will be a sequel to "Lost in Thailand". When the time comes, let Guangguang do the distribution. I will get up from where I fell."

Hearing this, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing. Wang Changtian was resentful.

But Xu Zheng did seem a little impatient. No wonder he kept glancing at Lin Nan just now.

"It's hard to say about the sequel, but if it is really made, it will definitely be given to Guangguang."

"That's good, that's good."

…………

The publicity of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is the largest among all the movies in the Spring Festival.

This is Zhou Xingchi, who has his own fans and box office.

Look, he and Ma Yun held a media symposium in the capital, which has become the focus of the film industry in the past two days.

It is said that Zhou Xingchi has low emotional intelligence, but in Lin Nan's opinion, it is not the case.

Otherwise, how could he say that flattering words on the spot:

"I think "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is perfect, but the only regret is that Ma Yun did not play the Monkey King!"

Ma Yun was also blunt: "Zhou Xingchi asked me to play the Monkey King, but I didn't agree. Because my schedule is too full and the salary is too high.

But I agree with his idea of ​​inviting me, which is very imaginative. Because I position myself as the Monkey King, daring to fight..."

Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders see the doorway.

In fact, the symposium between Ma Yun and Zhou Xingchi is also a step for Alibaba to enter the film and television industry.

"You went there too?"

"Yes, Alibaba and Huayi sent invitations at the same time, and many companies went. This Mr. Ma is still thinking about investing in our company."

Yue Jun recalled the situation the afternoon before yesterday and said to Lin Nan. At that time, the latter was finishing a movie in Hollywood.

"My principle has always remained unchanged. Lin Nan Pictures does not accept investment."

"That's what I answered too. But that person is quite, quite interesting. He said that they don't accept investment, but they can buy it as a whole. Everything can be measured by money. Just let Director Lin make an offer, haha..."

Before Lin Nan laughed out loud, Yue Jun laughed first and added:

"That person said in front of the media that Alibaba will enter the film and television industry sooner or later, and will definitely redefine the film and television industry at that time. Everyone thinks it's funny and treats it as a joke."

Lin Nan put away his smile and felt a little emotional.

The last time Alibaba held the "Internet Era + Film and Television Cultural Industry Summit", Ma Yun's attitude was still very gentle.

Now he is directly shouting to "redefine the film and television industry"?

She changed her face too quickly, her ambition was so naked on her lips, and she looked down on the film and television industry!

However, this situation can easily paralyze people in the circle. The film and television industry thinks that Ma Yun, who can say such things, is like a fool, a rich fool.

And Ma Yun probably looks at a group of film and television company bosses with disdain, like looking at fat pigs...

"If you try to get the skin of a tiger, you will be eaten alive sooner or later." Lin Nan muttered in a low voice.

…………

The selection of the new four little beauties is the most concerned thing in the entertainment industry recently.

Although it seems that there are many actresses and female stars selected, the situation is actually somewhat clear.

Huayi strongly promotes Yang Ying, which is like a big joke. What works does she have? She can only frown, stare, and smile foolishly!

But no one in the circle dares to laugh at it. Who dares to offend Huayi, which is in its heyday, and Huang Xiaoming, who has connections throughout the film and television industry? The answer is no.

Tangren used the power of the entire company to push their sister up. There are press releases and water army everywhere on the Internet. It is estimated that a lot of money was spent.

Ni Yi is lucky. She has the support of Feng Shaofeng's team. Even Zhang Yimou personally stood up for her. It was very impressive.

Yang Mi is the most stable. Compared with four years ago, her career is better and she has a better background.

No one would think of replacing Yang Mi, because it is almost impossible.

In short, this year's "Four Little Flowers" are more commercial in nature and also compete with background. The work is secondary, and there is a lot of room for operation!

But in other words, once you get this title, it will be of great help to the career of new actresses.

…………

Liu Yifei's Weibo account is already crowded with netizens, and it's fun to be noisy.

"Producer Liu is the only one who has been promoted to a top actress. Who do you support as his successor?"

"The word 'successor' is not a good word, because no one can copy her path. Where can I find another Director Lin?"

…

"This is all a false reputation. In fact, you don't need to take it so seriously. Friends around me don't really care about it, including me at the time."

Liu Hanhan replied to a Weibo post and was instantly surrounded by netizens.

"If you say this, it will shock a lot of people."

"If you dare to say that, you will kill a bunch of people."

"Director Lin, please take care of her. She only tells the truth and is irritating..."

"I can't control it, she's the one who controls me!" Lin Nan joined in the fun.

"I'll go, alive!"

…

Lin Nan stopped checking Weibo because Xu Zheng arrived.

"sit."

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Xu Zheng looked in good spirits, and Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to him at the celebration banquet. Looking at it now, compared to the time they met a month and a half ago, Xu Zheng is obviously more rounded.

It seems that in the past month and a half, there has been a lot of socializing and socializing, and there has been a lot of eating and drinking.

The other party spoke, trying his best to restrain his nervousness and speaking in a calm tone:

"Director Lin, you said you would discuss the copyright issue last time after returning to China. Now?"

"You have already said that there will be a sequel. It seems that you are really determined."

"Yes, I am confident to make it." Xu Zheng nodded and said.

"Then what deal do you use? You should know that the cost of this kind of series of movies is not high, but the box office reputation is so good, the copyright is not cheap."

Lin Nan said with a smile, acting very casually.

But in Xu Zheng's view, the more casual the tone, the less likely Lin Nan would give him the copyright easily.

"Director Lin will give me the copyright and don't worry about anything else. 30% of the film's revenue will be given to the company."

Hearing this, Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, "I thought you would directly tell me how much money you would give me to buy it out."

"I can't afford it. Even if the cost of the sequel is the same as "Lost in Thailand", the box office will be calculated as 600 million, and the producer's income will be around 200 million.

I can't afford that much money, so I can only promise the profits after the movie is released. "Xu Zheng was honest and told the truth.

"30% of the movie's revenue is 30% of the producer's revenue?"

"Yes. The company doesn't have to worry about anything. And as you know, movies are just gambling, and there's no guarantee that the next one's box office will be able to catch up with "囧囧"..."

Lin Nan nodded. Although he said that, this is the "囧" series, and the reputation has been accumulated to this point.

Even if the sequel is a bad movie, it can still lure a group of people into the theater...

"How about you listen to my thoughts?" Lin Nan said.

"You, you said."

"30% of the producer's revenue is too little. I will give you the copyright. In exchange, I will take 20% of the divisible box office of the first sequel, and 10% of the subsequent sequels. How about that?"

Lin Nan's words made Xu Zheng swallow his saliva unconsciously.

The 20% of the box office that can be divided is 20% of the total box office after deducting special film funds and other expenses, which is almost half of the producer's income!

Because the producers and distributors can only get about 43% in total, and there will be changes only if they bet against each other.

"you can think about it."

Lin Nan said softly, he was ready to bargain, but he was stunned the next second.

"I accept this condition."

Xu Zheng said it eloquently. In his opinion, the cost of a series of movies like "囧" cannot be that high in the first place.

Moreover, with the blessing of word-of-mouth for the first two films, the box office of the following films will definitely not be low. Xu Zheng is confident that he can control the costs and make a lot of money!

To be honest, Lin Nan was surprised by Xu Zheng's decisiveness. He is indeed ambitious and ambitious!

"Where's the script?"

"I think I can do it myself."

"Then another day, you can sign the contract."

"Okay, thank you, Director Lin."

Until Xu Zheng left, Lin Nan still didn't recover.

The other party actually agreed to his conditions all at once?

How afraid are you of him changing his mind, or how much do you value this opportunity?

"Maybe it's both..."

…………

Lin Nan returned home in a good mood and saw Shu Chang.

The two girls were chattering there, commenting on the candidates for "Four Little Girls" on the Internet.

"Changchang, why, do you still care about this?"

"I don't care about this. They are all my juniors. I started as a child star and now I have the Best Supporting Actress."

"If you choose me, it will be me who is embarrassed, just like Sissi back then. Don't you think so, baby Sissi?"

Shu Chang's arrogant look is definitely something he learned from Liu Yifei, Lin Nan vouched for it with his head!

"Yes."

Liu Yifei moved Shu Chang's face and said with a smile, and the two started to fight again.

"Okay, as long as you are happy."

Lin Nan shook his head and sat aside to watch the battle.
