Chapter 504: The turbulent mid-August

"Tiny Times 2" and "When a Man In Love" were indeed greatly affected.

Under the pressure of "Pacific Rim", the two films shared a total of 53% of the screening share.

However, because of the big hits in the previous work, theaters prefer "Tiny Times 2", giving 34% of the film schedule, which also made the film win a box office of 47 million on the first day.

Guo Jingming's fans once again proved their strength.

Brother Hu and Tong Liya's "When a Man is in Love" is in tragedy.

This movie was highly expected by theaters before it was released. Needless to say, Brother Hu, the first young actor in the new generation, Tong Liya, is the young actress who has been promoted this year. Since the end of last year, whether it is a movie, a TV series, an advertisement or fashion resource, it will be piled up on her without any chance.

But who would have expected that the summer seasons "Tiny Times" and "Pacific Rim" would be launched, and it would be seriously crowded with film schedules.

The direct result is that "But Men Are in Love" is very popular.

It only had 22 million on the first day, and was twice killed by "Tiny Times".

The next day, it collected 30 million on Friday, and "Tiny Times" collected 52 million.

Fan Xiaopang's new work "One Night Surprise" released on the same day opened the door and fired a squib, with only 10.2 million yuan.

Oh by the way, there is also Brother Xiao Ming’s new Chinese Valentine’s Day film "Mad 2", which had a box office of less than one million on the first day. In addition to attending the premiere on the same day and shouting on Weibo, Xiao Ming no longer participated in the promotion of "Mad 2", because his leg injury had not healed and was inconvenient to travel.

By the 11th, "Pacific Rim" was released in China for 12 days, with a total box office exceeding 800 million, successfully surpassing North America.

It also created Liu Yifei's best results in China.

"Pacific Rim" became the first Hollywood blockbuster to surpass its North American base in China.

Media have said that this is a manifestation of the rise of the Chinese market.

It was after this weekend that the schedule of "Pacific Rim" began to decline.

The five films on the Chinese Valentine's Day also breathed a little.

"Pacific Rim" is halved, "Fast 6" is coming to an end, and the second half of August is handed over to domestic movies.

But before the market was calm, it was attracted by a lawsuit.

Zhou Xingxing sued Huayi!

The cause is the sharing of the account in "Journey to the West: The Demon Subduing".

Zhou Xingxing and Huayi initially agreed that Zhou Xingxing would share the box office by 15%, but due to remote intervention in the middle, in order to retain Zhou Xingxing, Wang Zhonglei and Zhou Xingxing reached an additional agreement: if the final box office exceeds 500 million, Zhou Xingxing would receive an additional 6% dividend.

Wang Zhonglei sent this agreement to Zhou Xingxing's email address. Zhou Xingxing was very satisfied after reading it. The two agreed verbally, but did not actually sign the contract.

Now Zhou Xingxing asks Wang Zhonglei to settle the bill and asks for an additional 6% dividend, totaling 81.6 million.

As a result, Wang Zhonglei turned against him and said that the additional agreement had not been signed and had no legal effect, so he would not be fulfilled.

Zhou Xingxing was dissatisfied and sued Huayi in court with a complaint.

"It's good now." The industry is waiting to watch the fun.

Your Huayi made so much money in "Journey to the West: The Demon Subduing", and your competitors have long been jealous.

The remote internal affairs are generally divided into two factions.

Yisan believes that since the dividends have been agreed in advance, it should be implemented in place. "Journey to the West: The Demons" sold for 1.2 billion yuan in box office, and this 80 million yuan is not a problem for Huayi.

I will pay this 80 million yuan and sell Zhou Xingxing. I can continue to cooperate with Zhou Xingxing in the future. I will earn this money sooner or later, so why not do it?

The other party feels that it should act according to the contract.

Since the additional treaty has not been signed, Zhou Xingxing should give him the original 15% dividend instead of asking for the 6% dividend that he did not belong to.

After all, 80 million is not a small amount.

"Me?" Cheng Yu'an sat aside, "I don't support anyone."

No one is right or wrong in this matter.

You said Huayi was wrong? Did Huayi act according to the contract?

Zhou Xingxing wants to sign the additional agreement soon, and Huayi dares to refuse the debt?

Is Zhou Xingxing wrong? He just thinks that if everyone works together, my box office will be worthy of you. Since I promised to score 6% more, why don’t I fulfill it now?

"How could you be so neutral?" My colleague did not pay for Cheng Yuan's concise statement.

Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Speaking of this, this matter has something to do with us. If we don't force Nini into Journey to the West, Wang Zhonglei wouldn't be so nervous, and he wouldn't be in a hurry to stabilize Zhou Xingxing with a 6% supplementary agreement."

"Then who do you think can win this lawsuit?"

"100% Huayi wins. Zhou Xingxing's claim is not supported by law, and he really did not sign the 6% dividend agreement with Huayi."

This lawsuit is still being fought, and it will not be over in less than two or three years.

The lawsuit that Zhang Yimou sued Zhang Weiping for deducting his director's share of money last year is not over yet.

"No matter how the lawsuit is, Zhou Xingxing and Huayi have broken up..."

"Do you want to work with Zhou Xingxing?" Before Cheng Yu'an finished speaking, the people below knew what he was thinking, "But his next drama is not yet settled. According to his personality, the next drama must not be separated by three or five years."

It’s not that I don’t want to work with Zhou Xingxing, but that the filming intervals are usually very long.

"Journey to the West: Demon Subduing" was not included in five years after "Yangtze River VII".

What do you know where the next movie is.

"It's okay, let's get in touch first." Cheng Yu'an knew that Zhou Xingxing would film "The Mermaid" next year, "It's okay to have a higher condition."

There are two ways to cooperate with directors or well-known actors in remote areas. One is to leave after a fixed pay, for example, Tong Liya's salary for "When a Man is in Love" is 1.3 million, and the other is the salary share model. Only popular artists such as Yang Mi, Tangtang and Hu are qualified to choose to share. Urfan received a 13% share in the name of his own studio in "The Dragon Search", plus a fixed director's salary of 5.8 million.

Xu Ke received a % dividend in "Taking Tiger Mountain with Strategy".

To put it more, bald Xu Shanzheng did not get a share in "Lost in Thailand" because he was a new director before "Lost in Thailand" and he did not have the share in his movie investment.

However, if he wants to direct or star in the "Lost" series, he should be able to get investment and share.

The battle of "Lost in Thailand" made him completely famous and promoted to the ranks of top-notch directors, and it was time to get a share.

Remotely, he has always been generous to blockbuster artists.

By the way, Cheng Yuan's current director's salary for foreign newspapers is 170 million soft girl coins, or % box office dividends.

This is almost a price that no one can afford.

Sorry, Oscars are so willful.

Ranked second in Chinese directors.

The first is Li An. After "The Young Pie", his salary increased to US$60 million, equivalent to more than RMB 300 million.

But Li An is a well-off, and behind him is the global market, which Cheng Yu'an cannot compare with.

After the Oscars, a Hollywood factory invited him to film, and offered him a price of $40 million, but Cheng Yu'an was not interested.
