I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 119 Talk About Cooperation Again
"Director Wan, pirated CDs of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" began to leak out on the market yesterday. Starting today, the box office will drop significantly." Zhang Zhao sighed with a slightly sad face.

Wan Qingshan didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, it was already half a month after the release that the pirated discs were released, which is already very good. I have to thank you, Mr. Zhang. Without your efforts to prevent piracy, it would probably take a week." Within ten days, piracy started to appear.”

When it comes to preventing theft of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness", Zhang Zhao sent almost everyone from Enlight Pictures to keep an eye on every copy.

"Director Wan, Enlight Pictures can only take a little of the credit for this. The more important thing is that you spent 200 million to prevent theft. Without money, even if Enlight Pictures puts in a lot of effort, it will be useless." Zhang Zhao replied modestly and politely. road.

Immediately, he sighed, "It would be better if the pirated version were released a little later. "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" has already reached a box office of 1 million. If the pirated version is released a little later, there is hope that it will break the 7 million box office of "Hero" A Chinese-language movie with a box office record worth tens of millions, but now that pirated copies are out, it’s definitely hopeless.”

Wan Qingshan looked at Zhang Zhao in surprise and complained in his heart, "You really dare to think about breaking the record of "Hero"!" '

Wan Qingshan never thought that "Loyalty and Loyalty" could break the 2 million record of "Hero".

Not to mention the box office appeal of the group of big-name stars starring in "Hero", he and Zhang Jin couldn't keep up.

Just take "Hero" as the first commercial blockbuster in China. No matter how much Wan Qingshan hypes "Loyal Liver and Righteousness", it will be even more popular and topical.

Before "Hero", there were no commercial blockbusters in China, and it was a martial arts commercial blockbuster. Every frame and every painting would be very novel to movie fans.

"Loyal Lives, True Braves" also has intense gun battles, explosions and fierce fighting scenes that are not seen in domestic movies. It gives the audience a sense of novelty, but it is definitely not as good as "Hero".

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, is there no company to buy the Southeast Asian distribution rights of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave"?" Wan Qingshan asked while changing the subject.

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhao immediately beamed with joy, "Haha, Director Wan, even Japanese and Korean companies have come to buy the distribution rights for your movie. How come no one buys the distribution rights in Southeast Asia?

Just two days after the movie was released, companies came to buy the distribution rights in Southeast Asia. However, these companies were all small companies, and they all came with the idea of ​​taking advantage. They offered cabbage prices, but I refused them all.

A few days ago, a large company from Southeast Asia has contacted Enlight Pictures, but the price is a bit low, so I am dragging them with them now and wait for a few more companies to come before we can talk. "

Wan Qingshan nodded, and then he thought that he would be busy during the next period of time.

"Mr. Zhang, I'll leave these matters to you. You don't need to notify me when we talk about it."

Zhang Zhao nodded, "Don't worry, Director Wan, I have hired a few professional negotiators, and they will definitely negotiate a price that satisfies you."

Immediately, Zhang Zhao remembered something and asked, "Director Wan, when the box office of "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" exceeded 1 million, you had to go to Hong Kong Island to promote it, but there was no celebration banquet for the 7 million breakthrough. Why don't we hold a box office now? The celebration banquet worth RMB [-] million can also be used to promote the movie and stimulate the box office."

"Mr. Zhang, the celebration party should wait until the movie is released.

As for stimulating the box office, Mr. Zhang, during this period, media news reports have never left "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness". The box office trend is still the same. A celebration banquet cannot stimulate the box office. "

During this period of time, there were no topical events in the entertainment industry, so after Wan Qingshan and his team's road show ended, the news media still reported on "Loyalty and Loyalty".

However, it is no longer all praise like before, there are also some criticisms, criticizing the movie for being too dark and too bloody.

But whether it's criticism or praise, this is popularity, but the box office should still fall.

Zhang Zhao reacted immediately and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I got distracted, I still think about "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" using the normal promotion method in the industry.

Director Wan, since it can't stimulate the box office, then as you said, we will hold a celebration party after the movie is released. "

Wan Qingshan nodded. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang!

When Wan Qingshan saw that the call was from Fan Bayi, he stood up and walked to the side to answer the call. He just said "uh huh" twice and hung up the phone.

"Mr. Zhang, I have something to do and I have to leave first. I'll ask you to keep an eye on Fox's purchase of exercise rights."

"Director Wan, if you have something to do, you should be busy first. It will probably take a while to reach an agreement here. I will call you after the agreement is reached."

"Mr. Zhang, please excuse me, I'm leaving first!"

"Director Wan, I'll see you off!"

Maybe it's because South Beauty suits Fan Bayi's liking, so this meeting with Wan Qingshan is still at South Beauty.

Wan Qingshan followed the box number that Fan Bayi said on the phone and entered the box under the guidance of the waiter.

Seeing Wan Qingshan coming, Fan Bayi, wearing a black thermal jacket and tight jeans that perfectly showed off his bulging figure, stood up with a smile like a flower and called, "Director Wan!"

After Wan Qingshan took off his hat and mask, he responded, "Miss Fan!"

As soon as Wan Qingshan sat down, Fan Bayi leaned over and poured tea for Wan Qingshan. At the same time, he said with a bright smile, "Director Wan, last time we had dinner, you talked about business before taking two bites of the meal, so I think we should do it this time. Let’s eat after talking!”

"Thank you!" After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he picked up the tea and took a sip. After putting down the teacup, he looked at Fan Bayi who was smiling.

"It's okay to eat after talking. It can also be used as a celebration feast."

Wan Qingshan calmed down and asked, "Ms. Fan, you said on the phone that you had thought about it and decided to open a company under the banner of Qingshan Film and Television Company. So do you agree to the conditions I mentioned last time?"

"Director Wan, if I don't agree, I think you will never agree to let me hang it under your company." Fan Bayi suppressed his smile and continued, "Director Wan, the main reason I want to talk to you this time is to say Regarding the shares, I would like to ask Director Wan how many shares you want to take."

Wan Qingshan played with the tea cup, thought for a moment, and said, "Miss Fan, the company belongs to you. If I say too much, you will definitely be dissatisfied. If I say too much, then I may feel that there is no point in holding it.

For the sake of peace, why don't you tell me what you mean first? "

Fan Bayi frowned and was silent for a moment, then said in a consultative tone,
"Wan Dao, 15%, what do you think?"

Wan Qingshan's thoughts raced rapidly in his mind, "Now that Fan Bayi has jumped out of Huayi ahead of schedule, her future development will not be the same as in her original life.

I’m not sure whether she can be the No. 1 celebrity earner for several consecutive years like she did in her original life!
However, according to her ability to work in the camp, it is estimated that she will not be far behind again.And in the future, she may develop the company and sign new people like she did in her original life, and the company will definitely make a lot of money in a year.

15%. Even if the company will no longer take commission from Fan Bayi, the newcomers she brings out should be able to make money by then.

The company in front of her earns a commission of [-] million yuan, and the company behind her earns a commission of the newcomers brought out by her.

In this case, I can probably get a few million every year.Although it's not much, it's okay if you don't care about anything.

Um!Judging from her tone just now, 15% should be a bit far from her bottom line, and it should be possible to talk it up a lot. "

After thinking about it, Wan Qingshan smiled and asked, "Miss Fan, 15% is definitely low for me."

Fan Bayi sighed inwardly, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and replied, "Then Director Wan, how many shares do you want?"

"I won't tell you how much I want. Miss Fan, let me ask you, how much commission will Huayi take from you?
After the company is launched, how much commission do you plan to take from the company? . "

Wan Qingshan didn't immediately answer how much he wanted, which made Fan Bayi frown.

"Huayi's commission for me this year is 1.5%. After the company is launched, I plan to set it at [-]%. I will fix this ratio in the future to ensure that the company is profitable."

The current Fan Bayi is not an ambitious person like "I am a rich man". When she opened a company, she just didn't want to be treated as a commodity and arranged by the company.

She also didn't expect that artists would lead artists in the future. She just thought that the company had no resources and could not sign other artists, and she would only be the only artist in the future.

That's why she increased her withdrawal rate by 0.5% and fixed it at 1.5%, just to make the company profitable and not leave Wan Qingshan without any money.

Fan Bayi fixed his commission at 1.5%, which made Wan Qingshan's eyes flash with joy.

In the future, when the practice of artists leading artists becomes popular, big-name celebrities will become resources.

Therefore, in order to retain big-name stars, many film and television companies charge very low commissions, and some even charge no commission, just to keep people in the company and develop new talents.

Fan Bayi fixed his commission at 1.5%, and from then on, Wanqingshan could get millions more every year.

"Haha, Miss Fan, with your current reputation, I think Huayi will reduce your commission to 1.5% next year. The [-]% you set for the company is considered high."

Immediately, Wan Qingshan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked directly at Fan Bayi with sharp eyes.

"1.5% of 15%, Ms. Fan, I will assume that you earn 500 million a year and the company will take away 1000 million. After excluding the company's expenses and taxes, I will calculate that the company's profit will still be [-] million.

For 1000 million, I can get 150 million. In one year, 150 million. Don’t you think this is a slap in my face?
Although Qingshan Film and Television Company is a leather company, as long as I am here, the signboard of Qingshan Film and Television Company will not be worth only 150 million a year.

What's more, the premise of this 150 million is that you can earn 3000 million a year.Miss Fan, with your current fame, you may only earn [-] million at most this year!

If you make 3000 million a year, then my Qingshan Film and Television Company’s signature is not even 50 a year.

Miss Fan, do you think it’s appropriate for you to buy the signboard of Qingshan Film and Television Company for less than 50 yuan a year? "

Wan Qingshan's aggressive words made Fan Bayi unable to refute. After thinking with furrowed brows for a moment, he asked, "Director Wan, how much do you want? Just tell me!"

Wan Qingshan took a sip of tea calmly, then the lion opened his mouth, "I want 40%!"

Fan Bayi's expression changed drastically, and his upper body trembled as he said excitedly, "Impossible! Director Wan, you took 40%, and I will give some shares to the company managers. By then, my shares may be the same as yours. Then this company is still my company!"

Wan Qingshan played with the tea cup and said aggressively again, "Miss Fan, 40%, I can only get more than 100 million a year. To put it bluntly, more than 100 million a year to buy the sign of Qingshan Film and Television Company, for me It’s already a slap in the face.”

Then, Wan Qingshan slowed down and continued, "Of course, I also understand your concerns, Miss Fan. No one wants to start a company by themselves, only to have their power seized by others. In this way, I will take a step back, 37%."

The figure of 37% is still beyond Fan Bayi's bottom line, but compared with 40%, it makes Fan Bayi feel slightly better, and his upper body is no longer shaking with anger.

"Wan Dao, 37% is impossible. This is no different from 40%. 20%, I can only give 20%." Fan Bayi said firmly.

"20%, that's impossible. It's less than 100 million a year. Then the brand name of our Qingshan Film and Television Company is too low. At least 35%."

"35% is impossible. The most I can give is 22%! Director Wan, although your Qingshan Film and Television Company's brand name is very loud in the industry, I don't need you to provide me with resources. 22% is not low."
