Chapter 463: Add another point of box office dividends and peripheral income
But despite Robert Downey Jr.'s appearance fee of more than 200 million US dollars per minute, Marvel Studios at its peak was a little unable to bear it, and desperately wrote Iron Man to death.

This wave of direct offers of 1600 million US dollars per minute to Zhang Nan is really sincere.

Of course.

The offer from Marvel Studios seems to be very high.

But if you really put it into perspective, Marvel Studios is lucky.

Because Zhang Nan's current appearance fee is fixed at 3000 million US dollars for eight hours, no matter how much or how little the filming.

However, Marvel Studios' approach of raising the unit price but breaking it into small pieces was able to use more than 1000 million to recruit Zhang Nan's reputation to promote their movie.

"Let's talk to Marvel Studios." Zhang Nan shook his head and said to Old Luke.

When Old Luke saw Zhang Nan's shaking head and these words, he was almost dumbfounded, and asked hurriedly and confusedly, "Zhang, this condition is very good, 1600 million US dollars per minute! You can film a 1-minute scene , it’s almost as good as a whole movie in Hollywood’s 2000 million salary club, it’s really not low.”

"I know it's not low, and the conditions are even very generous, but haven't you seen that if we negotiate according to these conditions, then every Marvel Pictures movie in the future will definitely only cost 1 minute, 1600 million The price in U.S. dollars is used to increase my popularity. Calculated in this way, my current appearance fee of 3000 million U.S. dollars is still a drop." Zhang Nan explained.

Old Luke was well aware of Zhang Nan's explanation, but he couldn't resist the fact that the conditions offered by Marvel Studios were indeed very generous!

Zhang Nan also saw Old Luke's thoughts and continued: "I asked you to talk to Marvel Studios, not to reject them, but to add another one.

That is a 1-minute scene. Not only does it have a fixed price, but it also requires a 2% dividend from the movie’s global box office and a [-]% dividend from the movie’s peripheral income. [-] minutes means doubling the price and [-]%. Dividends.

The conditions for this addition are not difficult, and the amount is not large, just a [-]% share. "

"It doesn't sound like much, but if Marvel Studios invites you to make a 120-minute cameo, wouldn't it mean that while all the profits from the movie's box office, peripherals, copyrights, etc. are given to you, they also owe you 20.00%? Overall profit?" Old Luke muttered.

Zhang Nan directly retorted to Old Luke's muttering: "Can you still call for a guest appearance in 120 minutes?"

Old Luke was speechless by Zhang Nan's rebuttal.

indeed.

Nowadays, many movies are less than 120 minutes long including the opening and ending, and most of the starring scenes in a movie are only a few 10 minutes. If it really reaches 120 minutes, it can still be regarded as a cameo, rather than starring.

"This condition should be negotiated. I think Marvel Studios has a strong intention to cooperate. But if this condition is added, the unit price of one minute's film may not reach 1 million US dollars, and the maximum can only be reached 1600 US dollars." Ten thousand US dollars, and there is a high probability that it is not even possible." Old Luke warned in advance.

Zhang Nan nodded directly after hearing this, expressing his understanding.

After all, for a movie with a box office of over 100 million dollars, one percent of the box office dividend is 100 million U.S. dollars, and [-] percent of the peripheral dividend is about [-] million U.S. dollars.

So when the unit price is adjusted from a fixed price of 1600 million US dollars per minute to a profit sharing situation, the unit price will naturally be reduced by 1 million US dollars.

but……

"I can understand this, but didn't you say that Marvel Studios has a strong intention to cooperate, so you can talk to Marvel Studios without retreating first? If the talks really can't go on, then we can retreat further. My final bottom line is a fixed salary of no less than eight figures and tens of millions of US dollars, and the basic bottom line is US$1200 million per minute." Zhang Nan expressed his thoughts to Old Luke.

Old Luke nodded upon hearing this, expressing his understanding, and stood up to leave.But after getting up, Old Luke must have had his feet on the ground, and his IQ was on a high ground again. Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and asked: "Zhang, by adding such a condition, are you optimistic about Marvel Studios' movie universe plan?" ah."

Are you optimistic?
Of course I’m optimistic!
There will be so many movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the future that the box office will basically not be less than 3 million U.S. dollars, and there will be a lot of movies with a box office of [-] billion, [-] billion, or [-] billion.

There are even movies that have exceeded one billion and two billion US dollars at the box office.

It can be said that a one percentage point box office dividend represents at least US$300 million, which is basically a profit of US$600 million, US$800 million, or even US$1000 million or US$2000 million.

And one percentage point of peripheral income is almost the same as one point of box office income.

In other words, for the two conditions Zhang Nan added, the starting unit price is 600 million U.S. dollars in revenue, and the upper limit can be explored to the appalling level of 4000 million U.S. dollars - the box office of "Avengers 4" is 28 billion. So one point of peripheral and box office dividends is 800 million US dollars, which adds up to 600 million US dollars, which is the same as the price of Johnny Depp's starring role in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

But Zhang Nan would not reveal this idea to anyone.

So in response to Old Luke's question, Zhang Nan vaguely explained: "It's good to be optimistic!"

"What does it mean to be optimistic?" Old Luke kept asking because he believed in Zhang Nan's vision along the way, so if Zhang Nan was really optimistic about Marvel, then he planned to buy some of Marvel's stock price in advance.

Zhang Nan glanced at Old Luke, and naturally saw what he was thinking, and could only explain angrily: "Be more optimistic about Marvel Studios. After all, the momentum of the major Hollywood giants has been a bit sluggish in recent years. It's time for a new one." The film and television companies came forward.

But I am more optimistic about Robert Downey Jr. During the filming process of [Harry Potter and Voldemort 1], I felt that after the ups and downs of this guy, he has been polished to be quite outstanding, and he will be able to stand out, which is probably a high probability It can become the two Toms and one Will of the next era, and Marvel Studios has secured Robert Downey Jr., so it is considered promising. "

After listening to Zhang Nan's explanation, Old Luke nodded.

……

mid-December.

Many film and television companies in the North American Film Market saw the success of "Quantum of Solace" and "The Twilight Saga" and felt that the market was picking up a bit, so they released a few movies.

Then...no more, just pounced.

Many film and television company bosses turned pale with fright.

As for the mainland film market, "If You Are the One", Feng Xiaogang's last box-office hit comedy, continues to be released during the Lunar New Year, and its cumulative box office has reached 3 million yuan.

But this is not the focus of the mainland film market in January.

The highlight of the mainland film market in January is that "Red Cliff" was released, and it did not have a box office miracle.

This means that China Film’s 6.8 million yuan investment in the [Red Cliff] project has been lost.

Han Sanpin's face is not too rosy either.
