Coquettish Rebirth

At this time, Jia Hongjian was sitting opposite Director Tao's desk in amazement. He wanted to swear, and he really wanted to follow the habit of later generations on the Internet, saying "You fucking are kidding me"!It's not like Jia Hongjian didn't have inside information about the proportion of domestic films in his previous life. In the 21st century, basically the publisher plus the producer can get a ratio of 41-42, then the publisher will get 7-10 points, and finally the producer will get more than 30 points. This is the basic rule!The most, the most, is the distributor and the producer, who will rebate a little bit by [-]% to [-]%, and then make some publicity tricks, such as selling fake tickets or something-obviously the audience is going to see movie A, But they sold them movie tickets for movie b, and even let the audience go in to watch movie a.This is tantamount to stealing the box office!The stolen box office will naturally be divided between the two parties according to the original ratio, and then the theater side or the theater side can also get a [-]% to [-]% rebate.

It's not like Jia Hongjian didn't understand the unspoken rules, but the director Tao in front of him actually told him that the ratio of accounts was only 35?Is this a joke?You must know that Jia Hongjian has assembled publishers and producers, so he can get 35%, which is still before tax!If they paid 5% of the development fund and 3.3% of sales tax, it is not certain whether Jia Hongjian and the others can get 30% of the box office!In this way, with only 30% of the income and a box office of 3 million, Jia Hongjian and the others can earn [-] million?Isn't this bullshit?So Jia Hongjian began to wonder if Director Tao was fooling himself!

Director Tao saw the doubts on Jia Hongjian's face, and of course understood what he was doubting.So he immediately began to explain, "Mr. Jia, it's really not that I lied to you. Is it good for me to lie to you? Yes?" Seeing that the doubts on Jia Hongjian's face disappeared, Director Tao hurriedly continued. "Actually, Mr. Jia, I really didn't lie to you. This is the rule in domestic movies now. Otherwise, why didn't Chen Peisi stop making movies? Wasn't he pissed off by the splitting of the bill? But it's useless for him to come, Even Zhang Yimou is useless, and Feng Xiaogang is useless. Everyone is in the early 30% share ratio. And they have to give an extra 1 to 2 points to theaters and theaters as promotional expenses... Although their promotion is actually to draw a picture Posters and so on, but it costs so much money. You want 45% of the superficial share, but you actually get nearly 43%? How could they promise to give up so much profit?"

When Director Tao said this, Director Li and Director Liu who was next to him also hurried up to agree.Even Director Li said it. "By the way. Mr. Jia, you are very familiar with Director Zhang, why don't you call Zhang Yimou and ask him?" Hearing this.At that time, Jia Hongjian began to think about it, and it was true. Not only him, but Jiang Wen was also a director, so he could ask Jiang Wen.

However, he shook his head, "Forget it, how could I not believe you, you said that 35 is 35. But in this way, our share is too small. We invested 7000 million US dollars in this film, why should they take the big money? Why don’t you come to the international market? I’m so anxious that I won’t show it in China! Tens of millions of dollars are nothing to me!” At this time, Jia Hongjian became more and more angry, he Damn it, Jia Hongjian managed to get Spielberg to China to make a movie, and he even ran into a gangster?Someone actually wanted to "rob" him, Jia Hongjian?Originally, Jia Hongjian was a little bit reluctant to let the theaters take the lead, but he thought it was an industry rule, so he endured it. Damn, how dare this group of people ask for such a high ratio?Jia Hongjian won't make this money until he's dead!Anyway, the movies and TV shows are his Jia Hongjian's idle business, just for fun, and he doesn't expect this to make money to support his family, so why does he have to lick those people's asses?

Here, when Jia Hongjian was still angry, Director Tao began to persuade Jia Hongjian with good intentions, "Mr. Jia, I actually think this matter is not impossible to fight for. After all, our movie is Spielberg, and Tom Hanks, both of them have won Oscars. Spielberg won the Oscar for Best Director in 93 with "Jurassic Park" and "Schindler's List" , and Tom Hanks won the Oscar for Best Actor by relying on "Forrest Gump". The grades of these two people are unmatched in China. Perhaps facing Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen, the theaters You can still be stubborn and confront them, but for Spielberg and Tom Hanks, the theaters may not be able to be stubborn? Really, I can talk to those theater managers?"

kindness?Jia Hongjian, who was still angry at first, woke up suddenly when he heard Director Tao's words.yes!The lineup brought by Jia Hongjian is different from the lineup of ordinary domestic movies. It can even be said that if there is this lineup, then there will be no worries about no one watching it, especially when the film itself is still a "co-production film". With a little publicity, the common people will flock to watch it curiously, not to mention that Jia Hongjian is planning to use some methods to make the whole film a collective viewing film of enterprises and institutions!

With so many resources and so many cards in hand, he, Jia Hongjian, is of course qualified to challenge the theaters. It can even be said that only he has the right to raise the price, not the theaters.At this time, Jia Hongjian nodded, "Okay, you can contact those people and see what they say. Director Tao, is this bothering you?" "Hehe, don't worry about it, Speer The films directed by Berg are all co-produced by us, and he will have half of our military medals in the future. For this film, we should try our best to straighten out the relationship!" Director Tao said with a smile.

At this moment, Jia Hongjian nodded and said nothing else.If Ye Jing was on the scene, she would definitely feel surprised, because according to Jia Hongjian's usual habits, he must have personally participated in this kind of negotiation, and this time it was obviously as if he was going to hand it over to Director Tao. How did that happen?It turned out that this was the result of Jia Hongjian's choice after careful consideration.Although Jia Hongjian has deep resources, he doesn't actually have much affiliation with the theaters, so to put it bluntly, the relationship between him and the theaters is just an equal negotiation, at least on the surface.

But if he retreated to the second line, it would be different if Director Tao came in.Anyway, Director Tao has an official status, and Director Tao will follow Jia Hongjian's suggestion in the future to get a 5% film development fund.Originally, his official status alone was enough to pressure the theaters to agree, not to mention that Director Tao still has such a condition that he can bargain with others!40% of the film development fund can be returned to the local government, which is equivalent to rebates. If movie theaters take rebates, then naturally they can share more with producers and distributors in public, right?

So, maybe the result of letting Director Tao participate in the negotiation is far better than the result of Jia Hongjian personally participating in the negotiation!He, Jia Hongjian, is not a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder. It's not that he said that the negotiation must be handled by himself, so he was willing to hand it over to Director Tao. Isn't it good to see it as an opportunity for Director Tao to please him?It's like a girl being pursued by a man, asking a man to help fix the computer or something, that's a chance for the girl to show her courtesy to the man, it's for face!It's definitely not a girl who wants to be lazy and deliberately finds a man to run errands!

Here, after Jia Hongjian handed over the matter to Director Tao, he returned to his and Ye Jing's nest first.And Director Tao started to be very busy here, Jia Hongjian's thigh had spoken, and of course Director Tao had to do his best to help!He first called the managers of the provincial theater companies across the country and asked them to come directly for the first time, and then he prepared for the negotiation!In this year, the domestic movie theater market is being consolidated. Basically, movie theaters scattered throughout the country are united to form theater companies.

Generally, companies are formed according to provincial administrative divisions. For example, the capital is a theater company, while Shanghai also has a theater company.However, this kind of theater chain company does not necessarily have only one company in a province—also in Shanghai, there are two systems, Da Guangming and Dongfang Yongle, just like the Shanghai TV station. There is an Oriental TV station.The formation of these theaters was basically started slowly after the chief designer announced the need to deepen reforms in the cultural field during the southern tour in 92.After this establishment, on the surface, a mechanism similar to that of Hollywood has been created - the movie viewing session.

The so-called film viewing meeting is to find a group of theater managers together, and then watch the reviewed films, and let them decide how many copies of the films they need to buy.Next, the distributor will make so many copies, and then send the copies to the theater chain, and finally the theater chain will send the movie copy to the theater, and the theater will start showing it.How many copies of this movie can only be shown at the same time as many copies are allocated to this theater-it is impossible to say that one copy can play two shows at the same time?After all, one copy can only be placed in one projector, and only one show can be played in a period of time.

Director Tao called to ask the people from the theater to come, not only to inform the manager of the theater to come, but also to ask the manager in charge to come too!It is important to know that in general film screenings, administrative cadres do not come, but professionals who come here—that is, those who have a better understanding of the box office and the market, and can probably know how much money the movie can make if they can watch the movie once. species of people.This kind of person is of course important to the movie theater, but it may not necessarily become the top management of the movie theater!Therefore, as long as the theater managers come, they may not be able to make a split agreement...
