How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 422: Seventy-percent is where I come from

"Jin Zi, what do you want to choose?" Zhang Nan asked Wu Jin.

Wu Jin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Listen to you, you have seen a lot of storms. Even the six major Hollywood film and television giants can't beat you. Seventy percent of my salary is the company's commission. You definitely don't know how to do it." Make me suffer."

After hearing what Wu Jin said, Zhang Nan slapped his head and almost forgot about this.

Yes.

As a contracted artist of Longbow Film and Television, Wu Jin's income is paid by the company.

In the first two years, the commission rate was as high as 90.00%, and it was all income.

Then in the third and fourth years, the commission drops to 80.00% of full income.

After six years of signing, it will be adjusted to [-]%.

On the surface, this 5.00% ratio is still high compared to other brokerage companies that charge a maximum of [-]% or [-]%.

But other artists not only have to pay a commission to the agency, but also need to give a 20.00% commission to the agent who helped negotiate the film contract.

Longbow Film and Television does not have an agent to make the difference.

So in real terms, if Longbow Film and Television's artist contract lasts until the end, it's still pretty good.

Of course, after many top artists reach a certain level, they will choose to set up their own studios and take most of their income into their own hands.

But at this time, this studio model has not yet become popular in the mainland.

Secondly, compared to working alone and contracting with Longbow Film and Television, there is a huge difference in resources.

Let's put it this way, since Wu Jin signed a contract with Longbow Pictures, he basically has no worries about film appointments.

Even Wu Jin had snatched many of Li Lien Lien's film contracts before.

In the past few years, Li Lianlian and Chenglong have no chance to film in Hollywood.

But Wu Jin and Zhou Jie relied on Zhang Nan's relationship to always get filming appointments as long as they wanted to film.

Because in the current Hollywood, there are really not many film and television companies that dare not sell Zhang Nan's face and do not want to please Zhang Nan.

Moreover, in order to maintain the operation of the company, the film and television companies in Hollywood need to shoot several projects every year.

So who should I shoot for?

If you sell Zhang Nan a favor, you might be able to bring the company a share of a top major project starring Zhang Nan, which would be hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue!

Of course.

This kind of project is basically of average quality, relatively small in level, and will receive a discount in terms of remuneration.

Given Wu Jin and Zhou Jie’s status, the final film could only fetch a few million dollars.

But the quality is not enough, let’s make up for the quantity!
This kind of fixed small-project movie is originally shot very quickly. In addition, the Hollywood film industry is becoming increasingly mature. The fastest projects can be completed in one or two weeks.

So in the end, even if 3000% was taken away, Wu Jin could still get nearly [-] million US dollars in one year from just [-]% of the salary.

In addition to 7000% of the movie peripheral income, [-]% of endorsements, [-]% of advertising fees, appearance fees... and other miscellaneous income, the total of [-] to [-] million US dollars is stable.

This income is quite acceptable even in Hollywood.

Because many of Hollywood's top celebrities, once they are out of fashion, they can't bear to take on small productions, and their income is probably not as good as theirs.

And if it were placed in the mainland...

Let's say that.

After starring in "Huo Yuanjia", Li Lianlian of the original time and space successfully stabilized his status as a mainland star, and successively filmed "The Ranger" and "The Vocational Certificate" in 2007.

And through the "Vote Certificate", he earned a salary of 4.65 million yuan.Including miscellaneous income, the annual income is [-] million yuan, occupying the top spot in the mainland movie star rankings.

This can be regarded as Li Lianlian's peak income after the turn of the millennium.

In 2006, the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar was 6000:[-], even based on the minimum amount of [-] million US dollars.

Wu Jin's annual income last year was as high as 4.56 million yuan, which is almost the same as Li Lianhe's peak income of 4.65 million yuan this year.

But Li Lianlian's peak income lasted just one year, but Wu Jin obviously won't stop.

……

"Then choose the full share. After all, they are so generous, even the 20.00% box office share, which is a limit-breaking ratio." Zhang Nan did the math in his mind and chose the option to maximize profits.

Based on the US$1 million box office of the original "Hurricane 2.26", with this 20.00% box office share, Wu Jin will be able to get a salary of US$5650 million on the bright side.

What concept is this?
Johnny Depp in the original time and space only received 4 million US dollars in "Pirates of the Caribbean 5500".

That’s the [Pirates of the Caribbean] series!

So no surprise.

After waiting for the release of "Rescue 1", Wu Jin took advantage of the "Rescue 1" salary boom.

It is estimated that he can directly break out of the declining action movies and directly enter the Hollywood 2000 million salary club by relying on his past experience.

Of course, it’s okay if you fail.

Because there will be [Hurricane Rescue 2.3] in the follow-up.

It can be said that the protagonist of the "Hurricane Rescue" series has basically booked a place in Hollywood's 2000 million salary club.

Because Liam Neeson, the protagonist of "The Rescue" in the original time and space, went all the way.

……

Here Zhang Nan and Wu Jin gave a plan for selecting the remuneration. Over there, the people from France [-] TV were deeply relieved when they saw that it was a full share plan.

Because at this time, the cost of the "Hurricane Rescue" series has skyrocketed due to Zhang Nan's guest appearance, so it is a particularly good situation to be able to reduce the lead actor's salary in the early stage.

"Happy cooperation!" Luc Besson saw that the matter was settled and immediately began to encourage him enthusiastically.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Nan also reached out his hand in cooperation.

After chatting for a while, the people from France [-] TV Station began to withdraw, and Zhang Nan also planned to leave.

As a result, Luc Besson asked in confusion: "Zhang, you've already come to France, why don't you go to your French Rose? But that's not a gentleman at all."

still go?

Zhang Nan directly covered his aching waist and said, "That's where I came from in the morning."

Luc Besson: "..."

Good guy!
Wanted to tease you, but ended up becoming a clown?

Zhang Nan saw that Luc Besson was speechless, thinking that the other party didn't believe it, so he continued to explain: "And he was up all night. It would be too gentleman to go any further. Gentleman is a two-dimensional buzzword on the Mainland Internet. Luc, do you understand?"

The corner of Luc Besson's mouth twitched.

I didn’t really understand it at first, but looking at you like this, I understood it instantly!

Then Luc Besson turned away.

This situation reminded him of the feeling he had when he called Zhang Nan the morning after the premiere of "The Fifth Element" and was answered by Sophie Marceau - being shown off.
