Chapter 696 The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh

Mainland.

In the living room of the villa in Longbow Film and Television City.

"Director Zhang, you have to help [Hong Kong 囧] this time. How can I say that [Hong Kong 囧] will also give you 10% of the box office share!" Xu Zheng asked Zhang Nan anxiously.

Without it.

Xu Zheng was really anxious this time.

Although the investment in [People on the Journey to Hong Kong] is not large, it is only 30 million yuan.

But Xu Zheng, who couldn't stand it at this time, did not make a fortune from the box office of "囧路之囧之囧" like he did in the original time and space, and his net worth increased sharply.

Most of the profits from "The Lost Journey to Thailand" were taken by Zhang Nan, while in "The Lost Journey to Thailand" Xu Zheng was more famous and earned very little money. .

Fortunately, Xu Zheng later made a lot of money with the fixed salary of 20 million yuan in "Hypnosis Master", 5% of the movie box office share, and the starring salary in "Heart Flower Road". .

And what Zhang Nan said is indeed good.

"I……"

The two to seven percent box office share here refers to a single distributor. If a movie has multiple distributors, then multiple distributors will share the two to one hundred percent. seven-thirds share.

However, the current consumption level in the mainland is also rising. After some normal consumption, the 30 million yuan investment in [People in the Harbor of Embarrassment] can be regarded as most of Xu Zheng's net worth.

Of course.

But Xu Zheng had no choice. The only person he could think of who could influence the [Mission: Impossible 5] project and China Film Group was Zhang Nan.

Xu Zheng wanted to get another 5% of the box office share, obviously not because of the distribution capabilities of Longbow Film and Television, but because he wanted to pay Zhang Nan to solve the problem of "Mission: Impossible ".

In fact, Xu Zheng's reason for looking for Zhang Nan for "The Lost Portal" was not very abundant. After all, Zhang Nan also had a profit share in "Mission: Impossible 5".

"Xiao Xu, it's not that I don't help, it's that my current situation is very embarrassing. I also have 5% of the investment share in [Mission Impossible ], which is the same as the % investment share in [Unfortunately"] Ten percent of the total box office revenue is about the same, and the palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh!" Zhang Nan said a little embarrassed.

The weight of "Mission: Impossible 5" and "Unfortunately" is about the same on Zhang Nan's part.

Now [People on the Road to Hong Kong] already has an established distributor, Guangxian Pictures, and a new distributor, Like Pictures, of which Xu Zheng is one of the partners.

After thinking for a while, Xu Zheng made up his mind, endured the pain and gritted his teeth and said: "Director Zhang, the distribution of [Journey to the Harbor] depends solely on Guangxian Pictures and my favorite pictures. If it’s not enough, can you use 5% of the box office share? Please help Longbow Film and Television.”

The normal price charged for film distribution in the Mainland is a 2% to 7% box office share.

Once "Embarrassed" failed at the box office, Xu Zheng would suffer such losses this time.

Xu Zheng is not stupid. As soon as he heard Zhang Nan's words, he knew that Zhang Nan was seeking benefits.

So when he saw that "Mission: Impossible 5", with the support of China Film Group, was so popular in the mainland film market in September, Xu Zheng couldn't sit still and approached Zhang Nan.

One was obtained in exchange for the copyright, and the other was obtained by borrowing money from Huaying, both of which cost no money.

"No problem, Xiao Xu, you also know that my support for our Chinese films has always been in place. I took over this job for Longgong Film and Television." Zhang Nanyi said righteously.

Xu Zheng: "..."

At this time, wouldn’t you say that the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh? But Xu Zheng only dared to think about this kind of complaint in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.

However, after hearing Zhang Nan's vague righteous words, Xu Zheng was still a little worried.

"Then..., [Mission: Impossible 5]?" Xu Zheng further confirmed.

"Although [Mission: Impossible 5] is a co-production and deserves support, no matter how co-produced it is, it is still a mixed-race film. How can there be [Embarrassing in Harbor], our authentic Chinese film that deserves support.

But Xiao Xu, you should also understand that in this world, how much money is spent and how much things are done.

As for the 5% box office share, I would at most ask China Film to reduce its support for "Mission: Impossible " by the end of September. It is impossible to directly download the film.

Therefore, I suggest you try to keep the schedule of "The Lost Portal of People on the Road" as close to the end of September as possible. "Zhang Nan explained earnestly.

Xu Zheng wanted to say something, but finally opened his mouth and gave up.

Without it.

The total revenue share of "The Lost City of Hong Kong" is 100%, of which he negotiated with the theater chain for 52.27% and gave the distributor 3.03% to Guangxian Pictures. In addition to the 10% that Zhang Nan initially paid for the copyright, only 34.7% is left.

And of this 34.7%, another 5% was just given to Zhang Nan.

Therefore, only 29.7% can fall into the hands of his investor.

According to the 30 million RMB cost of "The Lost City of Hong Kong", there is also a 50 million RMB publicity fee.

If he wants to make money back with this 29.7% revenue share, the total box office of "Embarrassing in Harbor" will have to reach more than 200 million to almost 300 million yuan.

If you want to make more money, you need a box office of 5.6 billion yuan.

Of course.

Xu Zheng is still very confident about the box office of "Embarrassed", let alone 5 or 6 billion. Seeing how prosperous the mainland film market is now, I feel that "Adventure" will surpass "Enchanted". "囧路之囧" is very likely to hit the box office.

However, it was precisely because of this confidence that Xu Zheng was so distressed that he did not dare to open his mouth to ask for a price.

……

After seeing Xu Zheng off, Zhang Nan called Kang Pei, the new president of Huaying.

"Mr. Kang, I have something to discuss with you." Zhang Nan said into the phone.

Kang Pei on the other side of the phone felt a full sense of accomplishment because of the box office success of the co-production "Mission: Impossible 5". After answering Zhang Nan's call, he happily said: "Director Zhang , As far as our relationship is concerned, why should we discuss anything? Let’s just talk about it.”

For Zhang Nan, who single-handedly promoted "Mission: Impossible 5" to become a co-production project of China Film Group after he took office, and Zhang Nan has the relationship left by the old president, plus Zhang Nan's own ability and celebrity status Also in place, Kang Pei was particularly satisfied and polite to Zhang Nan.

"This matter still needs to be discussed."

Zhang Nan humbly retorted, and then fully explained his idea of ​​wanting Huaying to lower the production of "Mission: Impossible 5".

Kang Pei was stunned immediately.

"Director Zhang, the reason why Tom Cruise is willing to turn the [Mission: Impossible] series into a co-production is because we can support its release in the mainland film market, and we have signed a contract with Tom Cruise. There is a contract.”
