Chapter 314 Benefit Distribution
The hard and sweet Valentine's Day has passed like this. The originally deserted He family back garden has a little more spring. I believe that in summer, birds will sing and flowers will scent here. As long as potatoes don't always treat this place as a toilet.
Another week has passed in the dullness, and the film market has not had a particularly big ups and downs. The only highlight is probably the introduction of the film "Fate Express 3". The sequel movie replaced the box office champion of "Dragon and Phoenix" for two consecutive weeks, easily topped the top with a score of 24 million in three days. "Dragon and Phoenix" dropped one place, with a single weekly report of 19 million, and the cumulative box office of more than 80 million yuan. If you are lucky, you will not be a problem.
The third place is "Crazy Racing". This comedy movie is still strong this week. Its weekly box office results of 15.5 million ranks third in the box office list, with a cumulative box office of more than 90 million. Ning Hao is very likely to become the youngest billionaire director in China. "Night Store" follows closely, ranking fourth with 15 million ranks fourth. His stamina is obviously not as good as "Crazy Racing". The lack of screening scale is a flaw.
After half a month of release, "Night Store" has now reached 47 million yuan, and it is only a short time to break 50 million yuan. There is definitely no problem with its stable performance next week. At the same time, Du Wen has increased Xi'ao's implanted advertising fee to 1 million yuan as he promised, and the rest has been paid to Shuimu Forest account. What he originally said was that the movie box office of more than 30 million yuan is worth one million yuan, but unexpectedly, it is now nearly 50 million yuan, which is also worth the money.
Also thought the value for money was National University of Technology 36524 convenience store, which was even better than Xi'ao. Not only did the share in the province steadily increase, but even several pilot stores opened in surrounding provinces and cities were very popular. Everyone knows that this is the store where He Mu filmed "Night Store". Of course, 36524 was of great help to "Night Store". Almost every store posted large movie posters, guiding many people to enter the cinema to appreciate the movie, so that "Night Store" has outstanding performance in Hebei Province. During the same period, "Dragon and Phoenix" and "Crazy Racing" were not as good as it was. I wonder if this is a regional advantage.
In addition, He Mu also fulfilled his promise and raised Yang Qing's director's salary to 1 million. It was a delusion for a director born in the 1980s to make his work appear in theaters. Unexpectedly, he could succeed and get a million yuan reward that he had never expected. This is the happiness he had never expected in his despairing bad film director career. What's happier is that the famous international agency Caa extends an olive branch to him. This world's largest agency has two-thirds of Hollywood's first-line stars, and has signed artists such as Wu Yusen, Lu Chuan, Ning Hao, and Xu Zheng in China. The signing of by them undoubtedly shows that Hollywood filmmakers are affirming and optimistic about him.
He Mu originally wanted to take Yang Qing for his own use. In the future, the company could shoot more low-cost comedy films with input-output than the best. However, since he had a better place to go, He Mu could only bless him. Moreover, Caa only does celebrity agency business and does not do anything else, so he wanted to shoot movies and also had to find domestic film companies. "If you have a good script in the future, don't forget Shuimu Forest. This is definitely a place that allows you to show your talents."
"It must be certain."
After Yang Qing left, Chen Li walked in and after two days of bargaining. The final distribution of interests of "Very Perfect" was finally confirmed. Here I will introduce several other partners first.
Perfect Time and Space. The famous domestic game companies, the famous "Perfect World" and "Zhu Xian" were developed by the company. They are very wealthy and have entered the film industry since last year. cj Entertainment Co., Ltd. is the top five in the Korean entertainment industry. The top five in the box office of Korean film history, such as "The King's Man" and "Shiwei Island" are all produced by the company, which is equivalent to the domestic Huayi Bona. South Korea's Xijie Entertainment Company is also a powerful Korean film company. The company is an important shareholder of American Dream Factory. It has the right to publish Dream Factory movies in many Asian markets and has invested in filming movies with high reputations such as "Scandal" and "Murder Memories".
Compared with the above three companies, Shuimu Forest has the weakest strength and the least outstanding, so it has the least voice. After several negotiations, Chen Li has won relatively good conditions for the company, and it is still an investment of two million. Shuimu Forest is responsible for the most trivial shooting work, and has also obtained the mainland distribution rights for the movie, but it is not exclusive. Several investors believe that Shuimu Forest is a small company. Even Chen Li thinks it is best to bring China Film and Television when it is released. Shuimu Forest still has some distribution blind spots nationwide. In order to maximize the box office, it is necessary to use the distribution channels of the National No. 1 Film Company.
In addition, in terms of film revenue distribution, it is initially planned that domestic box office revenue (producer revenue) Shuimu Forest accounts for 15%, Zhang Ziyi accounts for 35%, Perfect Time and Space 30%, and the two Korean companies each account for 10%. Compared with Shuimu Forest's investment, the proportion of revenue he accounts for is very large. However, Shuimu Forest only enjoys the share of box office revenue in the mainland, and other copyright transactions and overseas revenue cannot be divided. With Zhang Ziyi's international influence, this part of the profit may be considerable, but Shuimu Forest cannot enjoy it. But this is good, the share of the mainland is high, and Shuimu is more confident in recovering costs. As for how to distribute overseas revenue, Chen Li is not clear about this, and he did not attend the subsequent meeting.
The next day, He Muzhang Ziyi issued a joint announcement to promote her cooperation in the new film "Very Perfect", and Shuimu Forest will also become one of the investors of the film. At the same time, the film also brings together Korean idol So Ji-seop and mainland actress Jae Bingbing, and the lineup is strong. This news also explains the reason why He Muzhang Ziyi was dating that day, and it turned out to be preparing for the new drama.
Thinking of He Mu and Cheng Long parting ways, some media suspected that He Mu and Zhang Ziyi had communicated well long ago. No wonder He Mu was unwilling to cooperate with Cheng Long. I heard that Wang Lihong was living a miserable life in Yunnan. In comparison, it was easier to talk about love with Zhang Ziyi.
He Mu smiled and did not respond to this statement, but he had to respond to Tao Quduo's questions.
"Old He, I have resigned from the tiger and wolf and ran to find you. How could you let me go?" Tao Quduo said sadly.
He Mu Zhun said in a serious manner, "Old Tao, you definitely hope that your film debut will make a big splash, right?"
"certainly!"
"So do you think you have revised the current script? Have you written the storyboard script? Do you have a score for actors? This drama has very high requirements for acting skills."
"I, I..." Tao Quduo sighed after several "mes" and said, "Just fool me, forget it, I will perfect the script, write the storyboard script, and then look for the candidate for the heroine, and you can shoot your "Very Perfect" with peace of mind."
"Good brother, thank you for your understanding. This time it was indeed a bit sudden. I didn't expect Zhang Ziyi to be so anxious to shoot this movie, otherwise I would definitely shoot your movie first." He Mu said happily.
"Stop coming, remember to don't take on other scenes after filming this drama. Mr. Chen has already taken it to the project."
"It must be certain."
After seeing Tao Quduo away, He Mu welcomed Wang Mingfei again, "Fei, why do you think of playing with me?" He Mu hasn't seen this old friend for a long time since he finished "One Snake 147", and he doesn't know what this talented woman is busy with recently.
"I'm not looking for you to play, I'm here to find a job." Wang Mingfei sat carelessly opposite He Mu.
The incident of He Mu establishing his own business and founding Shuimu Forest has caused great shock in his circle of friends. Although he was also a shareholder of Hulang before, he was not as shocked as he is now. It shocked that some friends dare not get too close to him. After all, being with such an excellent person will be a little stressed, unless this person is confident enough and excellent enough. Wang Mingfei is like this. She is also a very talented person, so when facing He Mu, she has no pressure and says whatever she wants.
"I saw that you and Zhang Ziyi invested in a movie together in the news. I want to ask if you need an assistant director?" Wang Mingfei made it straight to the point.
He Mu stood up and walked quickly to Wang Mingfei, "Fei, you have helped me a lot. There are many investors in this film, and there are two foreign companies. Each of them has to provide a supervisor, either to be a co-producer or to be an associate director. I have no one in my hands. I am worried about who to let me go, but you hit the gun and welcome you Director Wang."
Wang Mingfei was fainted by He Mu's joke, "No, it's such a coincidence, why do I feel that happiness comes too suddenly and is a bit unreal?"
"It's so real. I haven't seen the director yet. I'll take you there when the time comes. The director is also a woman. You should have something to talk about, so that's it."
Wang Mingfei originally wanted He Mu to help her with an errand, but she turned out to be her help. The two of them thanked me and thanked you. After pretending to be polite, He Mu asked, "You have been an assistant director for three or four years, and you are singing and photography. What do you want to do? You really want to develop in an all-round way."
"I also know that greed and chew too much. My ultimate goal is to be a director and the best female director in China. So I am learning so much now and I am accumulating experience. One day I will create a movie with the imprint of Wang Mingfei. You have to invest in me at that time. I am too young and in the eyes of investors, I will think it is unreliable. Only people like you dare to give young people a chance."
He Mu solemnly patted Wang Mingfei on the shoulder, "You young people are the future and hope of Chinese movies. Little kid, come on."
