How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 242
So Robert Watt glanced at Bob Brett, took a deep breath, suppressed the frightened mood just now, first stretched out a hand, and then slowly curled up a finger, leaving only four With a finger, said: "4000 million US dollars."

"It's a little less." Bob Brett said a little dissatisfied.

Robert Watt hurriedly said: "Bob, this is already a lot, mainly because of the money, he is clean, and Zhang Nan is willing to give a 5.00% box office dividend in terms of distribution fees, which is higher than the market price." A little over three percent, it’s a bit higher, and we can still do some action here.”

4000 million US dollars plus a 5.00% box office dividend that can be manipulated.

To be honest, it was quite a lot, at least he could have a profit close to [-] million US dollars, and as the president of Disney, he could at least share tens of millions of dollars.

but……

"Can you talk to Zhang again, and add a little more. I have read the project proposal he submitted. The total investment is 4000 million U.S. dollars, and only 1000 million U.S. dollars are given. Isn't the ratio a bit incomplete? Let Zhang Nan There will be another [-] million US dollars, rounded up to [-]%, and we will help him distribute the movie, but we are under pressure to fight against so many giants in Hollywood." Bob Brett said tentatively .

When Robert Watt heard what Bob Brett said, his scalp went numb, thinking that his operation had been exposed, and quickly explained: "Bob, I can ask my brother-in-law of Zhang Nan's manager to convey this, but... ...I'm afraid there are quite a few giant CEOs who want to bear this pressure! I don't have much time over there..."

"Okay, okay, let's do it! I'll take half of the 4000 million, and you can discuss the remaining 2000 million, and then the 5.00% box office dividend, and what can be negotiated in the end. I also want half, you have no problem." Bar!"

After hearing what Robert Watt said, Bob Brett was also afraid that the night would be full of dreams. After all, this involved a clean profit of hundreds of millions of dollars, so he directly came to a conclusion, then turned his head and left, leaving only Robert Watt and the president of the distribution department in the conference room.

Robert Watt suggested: "Half for one person?"

The president of the publishing department nodded, indicating that there is no problem.

"In terms of distribution dividends, what are the best points in the superficial contract?" Robert Watt knew everything about this aspect, but after all, he was not the president of the distribution department who has been engaged in distribution, so he asked.

The president of the distribution department thought for a while, and said: "Generally speaking, the box office share that the distributor can get is mostly between [-]% and [-]%. The bigger the production and the famous project, the more the distributor can get share will be smaller.

I mean, one step in place, two percent.

But Bob wants half of it. My idea is to make it [-]% in the contract, and then give Bob one point, and we will share the remaining two points equally. "

"Is this possible? You can deduct [-]% of the black and white text?" Robert Watt was shocked. With his shameless experience in Hollywood for many years, he had never thought of this operation, because he mostly followed the rules. .

Seeing Robert Watt's reaction, the president of the publishing department smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm too familiar with this operation, there is absolutely no problem."

Looking at the rhetoric and expression of the president of the distribution department, Robert Watt suddenly realized that this distribution department, which usually does not show much and seems to have no oily water, is probably the most oily and most lucrative among so many departments in Disney. At least it is thicker than the production department on the bright side.

Because the production department seems to have a lot of funds for every project that it seems to have passed.

But there's really nothing that can be done, and the number of Disney's annual film and television projects is also very limited.

But the distribution department is different.

Over the years, Disney has released many movies both by itself and by helping others.

With the proficiency of the president of the distribution department, I am afraid that he has made a lot of money.

"Okay!" Robert Watt nodded slowly.
-
a few days later.

After getting the news from Robert Watt, and after the film distribution ability was settled, the whole film project can be said to be without the slightest question.

Zhang Nan officially renamed the project proposal for the remake of "Survival in the Doomsday" to "Rebirth in the Doomsday", and then submitted it to the Longbow Film and Television Fund to go through the process.

As long as it passes a simple review by the four major institutions of Citigroup, Morgan, Lehman and Rockefeller, this project can directly land on Wall Street, the global financial center, and then start the journey of making money.

then……

The four major organizations sent representatives to find Zhang Nan.

"Zhang, your quotation is outrageous. If you sell 30 million US dollars for [-] billion, how dare the customer buy it? How much profit can you get if you buy it?" The representative of Lehman Brothers took the lead in speaking.

After Zhang Nan heard the words, he didn't take it seriously.

The quotation of 30 billion US dollars was carefully calculated by Zhang Nan.

Because of his current box office appeal, it has already reached 60.5 billion US dollars, and with the release of this year's [Rush Hour 2], [Lord of the Rings 1], [Harry Potter 1]...etc.

The box office appeal in his hands will usher in a wave of soaring.

All of them are not in use, which is also a kind of idle resources.

And this time the [Rebirth of the Doomsday] series, because it basically kicked out all the Hollywood giants, it only joined forces with Disney, and it still only cares about distribution.

It can be said that this [Doomsday Rebirth] series, compared with the previous [Doomsday Survival] trilogy, Zhang Nan can get more profits in it, and it can almost be said to be the biggest beneficiary.

So this time, Zhang Nan plans to directly invest in the box office appeal of each film in the "Doomsday Rebirth" series with a box office appeal of 20 billion US dollars.

And according to the specifications of a blockbuster movie like "Rebirth of the Doom", in terms of box office dividends, he can find out a [-]-[-] split ratio with the theaters.

So even if the global box office of "Doom Rebirth 1" is 20 billion US dollars, there is no box office at all.

After the revenue from the box office dividends is divided with the theaters, it is a profit of 14 billion U.S. dollars.

Adding in the income from the peripherals of the film and the increase in the stock price, it is at least another 20 billion US dollars in profit.

In other words, a single [Doomsday Rebirth] series can bring at least 34 billion US dollars in revenue.

He sold the share for 30 billion US dollars, giving up at least [-] million US dollars in profit.

The return rate of the fund for the entire [Doomsday Rebirth] series must be at least 13.00%.

To be honest, Zhang Nan felt a little distressed.

But there is no way, only if you give up, you can get something.

The Longbow Film and Television Fund is still in the stage of long-term fishing for big fish. In order to make a big profit in the future, it has to lose some profits now and accumulate some reputation.
