You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 178
Seeing Zhou Jianhui and Lu Dalu outside the set, Jiang Yan probably understood.

Movies and copyright matters are basically fine.

Sure enough, after Jiang Yan took off his makeup and chatted with the two, Zhou Jianhui broke the news.

The right to adapt "Infernal Affairs" is 200 million US dollars, and the adapted project can have no more than 20% of the investment.

Jiang Yan expressed his satisfaction.

After the original time and space in 03, the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" have not been sold for this amount, so he is not considered to have buried him.

It is now December 12, and Hong Kong's "Infernal Affairs" is still showing in many theaters, and the box office has already broken 13 million Hong Kong dollars, which has become a Hong Kong record.

It has been almost a month since it was released in the mainland, and the extension key has been obtained. So far, the box office has broken 8500 million.

Coupled with the 200 million US dollars in copyright income, as well as overseas income in Southeast Asia, Jiang Yan's investment in "Infernal Affairs" has fully recovered, and he has also made a lot of money.

Even if you calculate it carefully, the 3000 million investment in the best partner film company has already returned its capital.

So, it’s not bad, at least there is no need for blood transfusions from the stock market.

In addition, Jiang Yan still has 20% investment in the North American adaptation of "Infernal Affairs".

Don't expect profit or something, the finished product may be different from the original time and space, and the box office may also be very different.

What Jiang Yan wants is to advance the progress.

"Infernal Affairs" gave 2%, and I don't know how much the North American version of "Infernal Affairs" can give. . .

In addition, Warner also expressed its willingness to operate the Oscars.

For winning the Oscar, Jiang Yan basically has no hope, but he still attaches great importance to the nomination.

These days, domestic film and television practitioners hardly understand the operation process of the Oscars.

The Oscars require public relations operations, which cost money. The old Mouzi later suffered losses in this regard, so "Hero" failed.

So after that, those who know the rules of the game will use this to make a profit in a certain year in the future.

An Oscar nomination, at this time, is a huge addition to Jiang Yan himself.

Although the gold content of a nomination is far less than that of Cannes and other awards, Jiang Yan can also use this to establish a certain identity.

This is a manifestation of status, and this bonus is enough for one or two years.

It's okay, it's useful.

After talking about "Infernal Affairs", we then talked about film cooperation.

To put it bluntly, this is to send money. Warner Bros. Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner, has actually been cooperating with small film companies in the past few years, co-investing and co-distributing. If the quality is not good enough, the CD will be used. It should be regarded as impressive, and many small film companies have made a lot of money.

So Jiang Yan just happened to catch up.

However, giving money also depends on the person. Jiang Yan used music to attract attention, and also used the strength of "Infernal Affairs" to arouse the other party's interest, so he made this opening.

So the next step will be easy, Jiang Yan will write the script, follow your Warner Bros. path, and everyone will make money together.

Of course, there is only one chance to cooperate vigorously, and in the end it still depends on the quality of the film.

Otherwise, even if Jiang Yan is the major shareholder of Warner Brothers, he can't get everyone to unconditionally support him to continue wasting money.

Fortunately, this is not a problem, Jiang Yan has a lot of high-grossing films.

After talking about the movie, we finally talked about the music cooperation.

For Jiang Yan, I will handle the movie, and I will leave the music to you. Anyway, the quality of the song is there, so just don't spoil it for me.

So the discussion on distribution and personal brand building was very fast. The only thing that got stuck was the cooperation period and specific cooperation details.

This has to be grinded, isn't Lu Dalu's people here, let them grind, anyway, Jiang Yan's request is there.

. . . . . .

On the issue of cooperation, the two sides continue to negotiate at the same time.

Jiang Yan's "Red Ling" is also being filmed intensely.

The total duration of the "Red Ling" MV is still about 5 minutes, but the filming is more cumbersome than "Wukong".

There are more scenes, the plot is more solid than "Wukong", and there are more emotional dramas. . .

Fortunately, Zhang Shuang is no longer the Zhang Shuang he used to be.

Jiang Yan is not the same Jiang Yan as before.

So in the end, it only took more than four days to get everything done.

The quality is also much better than the previous mv.

And Jiang Yan also gained 0.1% progress, and the total progress has reached 3.94%.

Without hesitation, after the filming of "Chi Ling" was completed, Jiang Yan entered the new script immediately.

[Ding, the entry is successful, the construction is successful, waiting for activation. 】

"The Gambler 1999", this is Xiangjiang's new movie, and it has already started filming in Xiangjiang today.

Andy Lau starred in this movie.

After Hua Tsai's "Infernal Affairs" became popular, his net worth skyrocketed, and he has at least one nomination for Best Actor in next year's Academy Awards.

Coupled with his own popularity, now that he is asked to make a movie, 1000 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough to win.

However, the big investor in "The Gambler 1999" is Yongsheng, which is one of the five film contracts that Andy borrowed money to repay the debt.

Seeing that Hua Tsai is very popular now, Yongsheng naturally wants to release a new movie quickly to make money.

And the salary is calculated based on Hua Tsai's current net worth, that is to say, in addition to the debt repayment, Hua Tsai has to pay 200 million.

But Hua Tsai is just as benevolent. He said before that the financial crisis can lower the salary. Yongsheng did not agree at that time.

So now, he can't do such a thing even more.

The two sides went back and forth, and finally made a decision to Tai Tai, and the salary was still 800 million, which was regarded as repayment of the debt, but they also gave [-] points of share, and then everyone was happy.

Therefore, in "The Gambler 1999", Yongsheng accounted for 80%, the best partner film company accounted for 20%, and the total investment was nominally 1200 million. In the end, Jiang Yan estimated that he earned less than Hua Tsai, not even 5%.

But still the same sentence, it doesn't matter if you earn more or less, as long as you can advance the progress.

The other is to insert two artists under the banner, mainly Wang Hui.

Now Xiangjiang movies are still in the altar, as long as mainland actors show their faces, their value will increase when they return to the mainland.

As for Zhou Zhiruo, there are really not many suitable roles for this girl, so I won't spend too much now.

Of course, if she wanted to act, Jiang Yan would not stop her.

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help thinking about the manager's problem.

The agent is still very important. The positioning and future development of the actor, and the handling of various chores will generate income for the company.

The strength of an agent almost directly affects an artist's stardom.

So Wu Yong still lacked too much, mainly due to his inexperience.

So he himself proposed a substitution before.

But if you change someone, who will you change?
In this day and age, there are few experienced people in the whole country.

Even if there is, it can't compare to Wu Yong. Wu Yong is at least one of his own.

It was a bit difficult, Jiang Yan felt that the two of them had to discuss it carefully when they found time.

. . . . . .

The filming of "Red Ling" is over, and the discussions with Zhou Jianhui are also over.

The final plan is that Jiang Yan and Warner will cooperate for three years.

Within three years, Jiang Yan promised to release two Chinese albums, and Warner also promised to release two foreign language albums for Jiang Yan.

And the two foreign language albums are in the form of one plus one. If the first junior college has good grades, then the second one can continue to be strongly supported.

In this regard, except for the channel, Warner picked up the rest for nothing.

After all, Jiang Yan's music is all done by himself.

So Warner seems to have taken advantage of it, and Jiang Yan has made money for three years, but Jiang Yan is sure about going international.

When the first foreign language album comes out, Warner will probably regret it, and Jiang Yan is earning blood, because the proportion of foreign language albums and Chinese is very different. After all, there is only one person in the world who believes that Jiang Yan's foreign language songs will explode. , that is Jiang Yan himself. . .

In addition, all Jiang Yan's affairs related to the singer in the past three years have been packaged to Warner.

Regarding Jiang Yan's personal brand packaging, Warner will negotiate with Wu Yong and others within half a month to finalize it.

All in all, it is to truly make Jiang Yan the king of pop in the Chinese music scene.

Zhou Jianhui said to himself: "When the next album is released, you will be the king of heaven."
