Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 27 Profit Sharing Ladder
The two of them discussed the plan in detail in the lounge area, and Wang Laoer over there also discussed the distribution model and release date with Manager Lei.

They have scheduled it for release on August 8, a few days before Valentine’s Day!
After the work was done, Wang Laoer and his investors left!
When leaving, Wang Laoer deliberately glanced at Fang Hong, feeling a little resentful.

A few months ago, this person was trying to curry favor with him and explained to him what art was. He did a good job and they had a good relationship. But now they are like strangers.

I guess he didn’t agree to be listed under his name. How stingy!

It was his illusion that they had a good relationship. Fang Hong never considered him a friend or anything like that, just a stranger.

Besides, if he didn’t give him a name, Fang Hong would think he was stingy!
After Fang Hong and Chen Zhixi had discussed it, they sat back in their previous seats.

Now there are only three people left in the office.

"Boss Lei, we just discussed and decided to choose the first option, which is to promote it ourselves, but we have another plan, please listen to it."

Chen Zhixi paused and continued:

"Take 10 million as the standard. If the box office reaches this number, the agency fee will be reduced to 8%; if the box office reaches 1.2 million, the agency fee will be reduced to 6%; if the box office reaches million, the agency fee will be reduced to %."

That is to say, if the box office is 5 million, China Film can take more than 5 million.

The box office reaches 8 million, and China Film can take more than 6 million!
If it reaches 1.2 million, China Film Group can take away more than 7 million!
Each time you move up a level, although China Film's share is less, you can still earn more than one million. This is without China Film's advance funding for advertising, and is equivalent to pure service fees.

In other words, the higher the box office, the more China Film earns, and the more Fang Hong and others earn as well. It's a win-win situation.

Of course, if the standard of 12 million is not reached, then we have to follow China Film’s method and divide it at %!
It can be said that Chen Zhixi's proposal did not fix the model and her thinking was still very active, making her worthy of being called the "Queen" later on.

If only Liu Tianxian had this talent!
Of course Fang Hong had feelings for Liu Tianxian. It was impossible for him not to have any feelings. He was not a eunuch, and his heart was calm when he saw a beautiful woman.

When I kiss, my little brother still jumps!

But without strength, it’s all empty talk. If you say you don’t need material foundation, then if you ask Liu Tianxian to marry a loser, will she be willing?

Now that the plan was on the table, the two looked across at Manager Lei who was thinking with his head down.

After figuring out the key points, Manager Lei was quite impressed and said, "It's an excellent plan. I'm just curious, can your movie box office really reach the standard you mentioned?"

No one plays this way now. Everyone tries to keep the share as low as possible and uses a fixed share method!
Because no one knows how their movie will perform. If it is not good, lowering the share can reduce losses and earn more.

"We don't know whether we can achieve our goal or not, but I am confident in my movie," said Fang Hong.

"It's a good thing for young people to have confidence, but they should not be out of touch with reality," said Manager Lei.

It’s not easy to expect to get a box office of over 50 million or even 100 million for your first movie.

It is quite difficult to make over 100 million in the market now, with just a few blockbusters!
"As long as Mr. Lei agrees to our plan, please let us give it a try!" Fang Hong said this beautifully.

"That's great. If I don't agree, I'll be hindering your efforts." Manager Lei smiled and shook his head.

"You're too kind." Fang Hong said.

Manager Lei leaned back in his chair and sighed, "I'm suddenly very interested now. I want to see what you guys are filming."

"The hard drive is here. Mr. Lei can view it at any time." Fang Hong gestured.

"Okay!" Manager Lei slapped his thigh, stood up and said, "Let's take a look!"

If you can sit in this position, you don’t have that much free time to watch movies. A movie lasts one or two hours, or two or three hours, and a whole day will pass by just watching some movies.

Basically, I just watch the trailers and previews, and if I think it's good, I'll schedule the film based on the cast and investment size.

Just have an idea in your mind!
But when you meet those big directors and big investments, you still have to look at them, because they have such status and strength, and it would be disrespectful if you don’t look at them.

In fact, the quality of those big directors is unstable. You have no idea whether it is a good movie or a bad one unless you watch it.

The three of them came to the screening room, and the staff took Fang Hong's hard drive to screen it.

The screening room is not big, just a small screening hall that can seat a dozen people, but the infrastructure is very good and the seats are all single leather sofas.

The three of them sat side by side, the lights in the screening room dimmed, and the movie began to play on the screen. There was no opening credits, and the main film started directly. The male protagonist appeared on the stage on a bicycle and began to tell his story.
Manager Lei looked at the protagonist on the screen, then turned to look at the young man next to him. He asked curiously, "Who directed this movie?"

"I directed it." Fang Hong said.

Manager Lei looked at him deeply. Directing and acting by themselves, are all young people nowadays so capable?
Then Liu Tianxian appeared, and Manager Lei was quite surprised!

This girl also played the female lead in Wang Laoer's movie just now, and they happened to meet each other.

After about an hour and a half, the movie was over.

"I didn't feel anything at the beginning, but I was moved all of a sudden by the end." Manager Lei commented and nodded, "The movie is good!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Fang Hong said.

"It's just that your movie is a bit rough, and it looks stiff and not smooth." Manager Lei said.

"Currently this is just a rough cut, and the fine cut has not yet been completed," Fang Hong explained.

"So that's it."

Manager Lei didn't say much. It was already very good to be able to achieve this, and we shouldn't be too demanding.

He also couldn't evaluate the market potential of this movie, because there has never been a successful youth campus-themed movie on the market.

A good story does not mean good box office, these are two different things!

There are too many good films that are critically acclaimed but not box-office hits, and there are too many bad films that are box-office hits but not box-office hits.

Besides, the only celebrity in this movie is Liu Tianxian, while the others are all unknown, which means they have no box office success.

"What's your name?" Manager Lei asked.

"Fang Hong!" Fang Hong replied.

"Xiao Fang, don't say that I don't give you a chance. I will give you a chance and let you try your best." Manager Lei said.

The plan is not excessive, but rather forward-looking and can motivate people. You know, those big directors, no matter whether the film is good or bad, will try to reduce the profit margin to around 5%, or even less!
It is still a fixed pattern, that is, no matter how much the box office is, it will be this number.

"Thank you, Mr. Lei!"

Fang Hong took his hand and held it affectionately.

"I've given you the chance. I hope to see a surprise." Manager Lei pulled his hand away. He was not used to being too intimate.

If it was the beautiful lady next to me, I would still be able to adapt to it, because opposites attract!

But Chen Zhixi would not be like this. She changed her career because she couldn't stand the "opposites attract" worldly ways.

"Let's work hard!" Fang Hong said again.

"Okay, without further ado, how long will it take you to finish editing this film? Let's set a date for the release." Manager Lei took out the screening schedule.

"It will be finished in a month at most. How about setting the release date as August 8?" Fang Hong said.

It is July now. By that day, not only will the editing be completed, the sound will also be matched, and the color will be adjusted. It will be different from what you see now!
Hearing this, Manager Lei looked up and asked, "Do you know whose movie will be released on this day?"

"I don't know, it's just that this day is close to Valentine's Day, which makes it convenient for us to hype it up." Fang Hong said.

"Let's change the date and avoid homogeneous competition," said Manager Lei.

They are all youth films, and the heroines are all Liu Tianxian. What's going on? It's like a fight for love.

"We are not afraid of competition, we are just afraid that no one will compete with us."

Fang Hong's words revealed confidence!
