Placing the cup heavily on the table, Wang Jianyuan shouted loudly, "Why, in the past few days when I was away, we didn't even discuss a movie?"
Everyone was used to getting angry out of habit, and they all acted in panic.
Lin Sheng thought about it secretly and decided to be the one to take the lead.
However, before he could speak, Zhou Tao, the leader of the third group sitting opposite, spoke first.
"Director, I have just negotiated with Hua Yi about the new film "Kekexili" directed by Lu Chuan!" Zhou Tao said with confidence.
"Oh, tell me about the situation!" Wang Jianyuan motioned for him to continue.
Zhou Tao nodded and said with a smile on his face, "Lu Chuan is also an old man in our group. The year before last, a small-budget "Looking for a Gun" took nearly 10 million in box office. This time, the new film "Kekexili" after two years, I
We attach great importance to it and talked with Lu Chuan and Huayi’s distribution department for a long time before..."
There are a lot of bala bala to show your ability.
Wang Jianyuan didn't want to hear this nonsense. He knocked on the table and said, "Tell the important point!"
Zhou Tao had no objection when interrupted, and continued, "After a week of anxious negotiations, it was finally agreed that this film would be jointly distributed by our group and Huayi, with a distribution fee of 8 points. The other party hopes that the release time will be during the National Day!
"
The two companies jointly released it, so 8 points is not bad. Lu Chuan is also a well-known new generation director. It is estimated that it will not be a problem for the box office to exceed the 10 million mark.
"Yes, this project is expected to bring nearly one million yuan in revenue to the company. It seems that the first place in performance in October will go to the third group!"
Last year, there were only 10 domestic films with a box office of over 10 million. Evenly divided, it was rare to see one film every month. With this big project, it is almost guaranteed to be the top performer in October.
"I'm just lucky. Our department still depends on you, the director. "Harry Potter" is a blockbuster worth at least 50 million yuan. This project alone can bring 15 million yuan in revenue to the company!"
Zhou Tao said modestly, but the pride on his face could not be concealed at all. Then he thought of something again and looked at Lin Sheng, who had an indifferent face across from him, with obvious provocation in his tone.
"I heard that you, Lao Lin, have taken on a high-quality project, why didn't you tell me about it?"
Have fun!
Everyone was refreshed and sat up straight to listen.
"Oh, Lin Sheng, what did you gain?" Wang Jianyuan also looked at Lin Sheng on his left.
"Director, I just wanted to report to you. I received a new director two days ago. The film has been completed, and the final special effects production is still needed to seek investment and distribution!" Lin Sheng glanced at Zhou Tao and said:
Ignore him and start introducing to Wang Jianyuan.
"The film is half-finished, but we still need to do special effects?" Wang Jianyuan frowned.
The division of labor among the various departments of the group is clear, and the distribution department has no control over the production department. Wang Jianyuan was very dissatisfied with Lin Sheng's overstepping of duties.
At this time Zhou Tao interjected, "I also watched that film. I thought it had little potential so I confiscated it. Unexpectedly, it would be in Lao Lin's hands in a blink of an eye."
Wang Jianyuan frowned even more now. These subordinates have been doing distribution all year round, and they still have basic vision.
Lin Sheng didn't care about Zhou Tao's interruption. He explained to Wang Jianyuan, "Director, this movie does have great potential. Both the plot and the actors are very selling points."
"Tell me the specific situation!"
"The other party's production cost is 500,000 yuan. We invest 3 million yuan in special effects production and extract 10 points of distribution fees. The mainland box office belongs to the other party..."
"Wait!" Upon hearing this, Wang Jianyuan immediately interrupted and asked in disbelief.
"What are you talking about? The mainland box office belongs to the other party?"
"Are you kidding me? He is a relative of yours!" Zhou Tao interrupted again.
The other group leaders also looked doubtful and whispered among themselves.
"What happened to Lao Lin today? You can still joke about this kind of thing!"
"Lin Sheng has always been very steady in his work. His expression doesn't look like he is joking!
"Is it true that what Zhou Tao said is true, and there is a hidden secret in it?"
...
"Director, the mainland box office does belong to the other party!" Lin Sheng ignored their looks and continued.
Hearing that Lin Sheng confirmed that what he just said was true, Wang Jianyuan was furious and slammed the table, "Who gave you the right to sign such a contract? Don't you know that without my signature, all contracts are invalid?"
!”
Lin Sheng admitted it himself, and the way everyone looked at him changed. Unexpectedly, he was so obsessed with money that all contracts without the signature and seal of the director were invalid. How could he even forget this?
Zhou Tao pretended to sigh, "Old Lin, why are you so confused..."
Looking at Zhou Tao who was causing trouble for him again and again, Lin Sheng became annoyed no matter how good-tempered he was. He rudely interrupted Zhou Tao's "warning".
"You don't need to worry about me, Team Leader Zhou, if I'm confused or not!"
After that, he looked at Wang Jianyuan and said, "Director, the overseas rights of this film have been sold. Mr. Chen from Colombia is willing to buy out the full overseas rights for 1.4 million yuan, and all the income will belong to the group."
"1.4 million..."
Overseas copyrights have recovered half of the cost, which is pretty good, but we still lost half of the money.
"Wait! Are you talking about Mi Yuan?" Wang Jianyuan finally realized and said in disbelief.
"That's right, it's 1.4 million yuan. The overseas copyright belongs to us, and the mainland box office belongs to the other party!" Lin Sheng said with a smile.
1.4 million yuan, which is equivalent to 11 million yuan. Even if there is no mainland issuance fee, there is still a profit of 8 million yuan after deducting costs.
In comparison, the expected 1 million for "Kekexili" seems insignificant.
Everyone was shocked by this figure. With an overseas copyright of 1.4 million yuan, China Film could not sell a few movies in a year.
Zhou Tao also had a face full of disbelief. When he came to his senses, he immediately shouted, "This is impossible. How can a film without a famous director sell for 1.4 million yuan?"
Everyone was awakened by this shout. After all, this number is too "unusual", especially for a three-no movie.
However, Wang Jianyuan had no doubt that this kind of thing could not be faked. He just wanted to know why Chen Guofu suddenly fell in love with this movie.
"It's like this. Director, you're not here these days. I couldn't make up my mind so I went to see Director Han. It happened that Mr. Chen was also there. Mr. Chen decided to buy out the overseas rights after watching the film!" Lin Sheng explained.
Only at this point did everyone realize that the co-authorship was negotiated between Han Sanping and Chen Guofu, and Lin Sheng had taken advantage of it.
For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Sheng with more and more envy. Regardless of whether it was a bargain or not, this project would definitely count towards his performance.
This movie alone is sufficient for the whole year.
Zhou Tao never expected that this would be the case. Now that Lin Sheng has made 8 million yuan for the company with that movie, it would be self-defeating to say anything else.
"Lin Sheng, you did a good job, that's it, you sign the contract for me later, and I will go to Mr. Chen's place personally!" Wang Jianyuan nodded and said.
"This...Director, Director Han has already signed a contract with Mr. Chen." Lin Sheng said hesitantly.
"...That's good. It's safer to sign the contract!" Wang Jianyuan paused while packing up the documents, then returned to normal and said with a smile.
