Originally, Sun Jianqi's team really had the idea of ​​​​riding the donkey to find the horse. They wanted to establish a foothold in the country first, and then decide whether to switch to a better special effects company based on the situation.

Just wait until "Infernal Affairs" grosses 3.6 billion at the box office during the National Day season.

Sun Jianqi suddenly realized something. He was not riding a donkey to find a horse at all, but had joined a company with exaggerated strength and potential.

The current situation is that Nebula Special Effects already has the strongest special effects software and hardware foundation in China, but what is lacking is a stable team of special effects engineers.

In terms of film production, "Infernal Affairs" has already told him by sweeping the Golden Bottle Awards that as long as Fang Xing wants it, there is nothing he cannot win.

"Infernal Affairs" has a box office of 3.6 billion, of which the film studio can get a share of the box office, which is almost 1.3 billion.

Of course, the 1.3 billion box office will be distributed to several film and television companies that participated in the investment according to the investment ratio.

Among them, Fang Xing's personal income in "Infernal Affairs" was the actor's 25 million film salary, plus the director's 7% share.

Therefore, Ark Culture still takes the lead, with total revenue of nearly 1 billion.

That is to say.

The 350 million that Nebula Special Effects burned last year could be tripled with just one movie of "Infernal Affairs".

After Sun Jianqi saw "Infernal Affairs", he understood why Fang Xing was so courageous.

It’s really an Ark Culture movie, and the TV series’ profits are terrible.

Moreover, with the popularity of "Infernal Affairs", the popularity of several Ark Culture actors in the movie has indeed skyrocketed, their celebrity status has soared, and the quality and prices of endorsements and business activities have also skyrocketed.

The subsequent economic benefits will be sustainable.

This does not include the revenue from the online release of "Infernal Affairs".

"Infernal Affairs" was released online in December, two months after its release.

However, the repayment time for online screenings is three months, and this revenue has not been recorded yet.

It is foreseeable that the online box office of "Infernal Affairs" will not be low, at least a profit of several hundred million.

therefore.

When Sun Jianqi discovered that "Infernal Affairs" was doing well at the box office, he had already discussed it with the team and wanted to renew his contract.

In fact, they have begun to worry that Ark Culture will not renew the contract.

For this reason, Sun Jianqi did not dare to show too much initiative.

Negotiation is a very deep knowledge.

Sun Jianqi and his special effects team joined the company. In the final analysis, they still hope to get higher salary and more generous treatment.

Special effects artists also have to earn a living, and salary must be the first factor in negotiating a contract.

At the negotiation table, if one of the parties has no choice, it will inevitably be at a disadvantage in the negotiation.

A month ago, Sun Jianqi wanted to talk about renewing his contract, but he didn't dare to be too proactive. He could only endure it and occasionally communicate with Cheng Hongru.

As a result, he learned that Cheng Hongru was in contact with some of the top special effects artists in the country.

Cheng Hongru didn't hide it either. He said frankly that a company as big as Nebula Special Effects would not stop running just because a team resigned.

Because of the short-term contract, Sun Jianqi can take his team to leave at any time.

But Cheng Hongru can't.

He is the president of Nebula Special Effects and there is no way he can leave.

Moreover, the software and hardware capabilities of Nebula's special effects have now reached the domestic first-class level. Unless he gets kicked in the head by a donkey, it will be impossible for him to leave.

Therefore, although Cheng Hongru had a good relationship with Sun Jianqi in private, he and Fang Xing were on the same side in terms of interests.

Cheng Hongru did not hide Sun Jianqi's contact with other special effects artists, but he would not stop his work because of this.

If only.

Sun Jianqi still has a choice. He can go to another special effects company and have less autonomy, but the treatment will not be bad.

However, other special effects companies will definitely not develop the company according to his ideas, and by then he will just be a special effects artist in the special effects company.

It wasn't until he saw the finished film of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" that he realized that he had fallen into passivity on this matter.

"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, which is next month.

Promotional activities have begun, and the finished film has been produced and started being sent to movie theaters in major cities across the country.

Copies of the movie are delivered to all cinemas across the country before they are released.

However, these copies are encrypted, and the key will not be valid until the day of the release.

Moreover, the key will expire when the movie is downloaded, and the key will only be extended when it needs to be extended.

Therefore, the finished film of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" has already been released.

Nebula Special Effects and Nebula Animation have a lot of business dealings.

Even many of the special effects in this animated movie were produced by Nebula Special Effects.

Therefore, Sun Jianqi can see the finished film.

After watching the film, he felt that the box office of this animated film would not be low.

Sun Jianqi has been a special effects artist for so many years and knows a lot about movies.

I won’t say that the vision is 100% accurate, but it is 80% certain.

Therefore, he feels that the box office of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is likely to be a hit.

Coupled with the Ark Culture animated film, there is a precedent.

The first two animated films both grossed more than 2 billion at the box office.

This time "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" will start at least 2 billion. If the reputation is good, the box office can be very high.

Sun Jianqi now really wants to sign the contract before "Nezha". When "Nezha" is released, once the box office performance is good, he will be even more passive.

With the current strength of Ark Culture and Nebula's special effects, the software and hardware are all top-notch in the country, and the film production level is ridiculously strong.

At an even rarer time, Nebula Special Effects is a newly emerging special effects company.

This kind of company has strong software and hardware capabilities and great potential.

When top special effects artists come over, they will have the opportunity to do their own thing.

In addition, Fang Xing is willing to spend money. As long as Sun Jianqi dares to take people away now, there are many special effects artists who are willing to add Nebula special effects.

a year ago.

Fang Xing needs to hire Sun Jianqi with a contract that is so loose that it has almost no restrictions.

one year later.

It's no longer needed.

therefore.

At this meeting, the contract discussed was a standard special effects industry contract.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fang Xing did not deliberately lower his treatment, and his boss will not give him any more special treatment.

In fact, Sun Jianqi's team joined Nebula Special Effects and received special treatment, which will make the original employees of Nebula Special Effects somewhat complain.

For this reason, Fang Xing asked Cheng Hongru to give the original employees of Nebula Special Effects a salary upgrade.

Now, Nebula special effects have completed software and hardware upgrades.

If you want to renew the contract, it is a standard contract.

Regarding the negotiation of the contract, Fang Xing does not need to personally participate, as the company's professional department is responsible.

The general direction of the contract is determined and is based on industry standards.

Even so, Sun Jianqi's vice president position also comes with options, and the salary is not low.

In fact, if Sun Jianqi was willing to join Nebula Special Effects sincerely and sign a long-term contract a year ago, he would have received a higher salary.

However, at that time, Ark Culture had only produced one movie, "Crazy Stone", which had good potential, but its strength was still uncertain.

Signing a long-term contract at that time had certain risks.

After all, the Nebula special effects a year ago were only second-rate in China.

High risks and high returns are the same in any industry.

Sun Jianqi also discovered not long ago that in just one year, he had become a passive party.

Moreover, if it is delayed for another month, it may become even more passive.

The strength of Ark Culture far exceeded his original expectations.

…

The Golden Bottle Awards Ceremony is over and "Nezha" has started its promotion.

Since animated movies do not have real actors, only voice actors, and some voice actors don't like to do publicity, and the voice actors' publicity results are relatively average, so when it comes to publicity, Fang Xing can only be influential if he leads the team himself.

The promotion of animated movies is very different from that of live-action movies.
