Chapter 22 Internal Meetings
"boom!"

The cup was thrown heavily on the table, and Wang Jianyuan shouted loudly, "Why, during the few days I was away, didn't you discuss a movie?"

Everyone got used to getting angry habitually, and they all acted in panic.

Lin Sheng secretly looked at it, and decided to be the first bird.

However, before he could speak, Zhou Tao, the leader of the third group sitting across from him, spoke first.

"Director, I just finished talking with Hua Yi about director Lu Chuan's new film "Kekexil"!" Zhou Tao said confidently.

"Oh, tell me about the situation!" Wang Jianyuan signaled him to continue.

Zhou Tao nodded, and said with a smile on his face, "Lu Chuan is also an old man in our group. The low-budget "Looking for a Gun" took nearly [-] million box office last year. This time, the new film "Kekexili" after two years I am It is very important, and it took a long time to talk with Lu Chuan and Huayi's distribution department."

A lot of blah blah to show their abilities.

Wang Jianyuan didn't want to listen to such nonsense, he knocked on the table, "Get to the point!"

Zhou Tao didn't have any objections when he was interrupted, and continued, "After a week of intense negotiations, it was finally agreed that our group and Huayi will jointly distribute this movie, and the distribution fee will be 8 points. The other party hopes that the release time will be set on the National Day file! "

The two companies jointly released it, and 8 points is not bad. Lu Chuan is also a well-known new-generation director, and it is estimated that the box office will break through the [-] million mark.

"Yes, this project is expected to bring nearly one million yuan in revenue to the company. It seems that the performance No.10 in October will be the turn of the third group!"

Last year, there were only 1000 domestic films with a box office of more than 10 million. If they were evenly distributed, it was rare to have one in a month. With this big project, it was almost scheduled to be the top performer in October.

"I'm just lucky. Our department still depends on you, the director. "Harry Potter" is at least a 5000 million-level blockbuster. This project alone can bring 1500 million in revenue to the company!"

Zhou Tao spoke modestly, but he couldn't hide the smugness on his face at all. Then he thought of something, and looked at Lin Sheng who was facing him with a calm face, his tone was obviously provocative.

"I heard that you have accepted a high-quality project, Lao Lin, why don't you tell me?"

Have a good show!
Everyone's spirits lifted, and they all sat up straight and listened.

"Oh, Lin Sheng, what have you gained?" Wang Jianyuan also looked at Lin Sheng on the left.

"Director, I just wanted to report to you. I received a new director two days ago. The film has already been completed. The only thing left is the final special effects production to seek investment and distribution!" Lin Sheng glanced at Zhou Tao, also Ignore him and start introducing Wang Jianyuan.

"Semi-finished film, still need to do special effects?" Wang Jianyuan frowned.

The division of labor among the various departments of the group is clear, and the distribution department can't control the head of the production department. Wang Jianyuan is very dissatisfied with Lin Sheng's overreaching.

At this moment, Zhou Tao interjected, "I also watched that movie. At that time, I thought it had no potential, so I confiscated it. I didn't expect it to be in Lao Lin's hands in a blink of an eye."

Now Wang Jianyuan frowned even tighter. These subordinates have been doing distribution all year round, so they still have a basic vision.

Lin Sheng didn't care about Zhou Tao's interruption. He explained to Wang Jianyuan, "Director, this movie has great potential. Both the plot and the actors are very attractive."

"Tell me about the specific situation!"

"The other party's production cost is 50, we invest 300 million in special effects production, draw 10 points of the distribution fee, and the mainland box office belongs to the other party."

"Wait!" Hearing this, Wang Jianyuan immediately interrupted and asked in disbelief.

"What did you say, the mainland box office belongs to the other party?"

"Are you kidding, or the other party is your relative!" Zhou Tao interrupted again.

The leaders of the other groups also had doubts on their faces, whispering among themselves.

"What happened to Lao Lin today, this kind of thing can also be joked!"

"Lin Sheng has always been very prudent in his work, his expression doesn't look like he's joking!

"Is it true that Zhou Tao said that there is something hidden in it?"

"Director, the box office in the mainland is indeed owned by the other party!" Lin Sheng ignored their eyes and continued.

Hearing that Lin Sheng was sure what he just said was true, Wang Jianyuan was furious and patted the table heavily, "Who gave you the right to sign such a contract, don't you know that without my signature, all contracts are invalid? !"

Lin Sheng admitted it himself, and the way everyone looked at him changed. He didn't expect that he would lose his head because of the money. All contracts are invalid without the director's signature and seal. How could he even forget this.

Zhou Tao sighed pretendingly, "Old Lin, why are you so confused."

Looking at Zhou Tao who was making trouble for him time and time again, Lin Sheng was annoyed no matter how good-tempered he was, he rudely interrupted Zhou Tao's "warning".

"I don't need to worry about Team Leader Zhou if I'm not confused!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Jianyuan, "Director, the overseas copyright of this film has been sold. Mr. Chen from Colombia is willing to buy out the entire overseas copyright at a price of 140 million yuan, and all the proceeds will belong to the group."

"140."

It is not bad to recover half of the cost of overseas copyright, but it still loses half.

"Wait! You're talking about Mi Yuan?" Wang Jianyuan finally came to his senses and said in disbelief.

"That's right, it's 140 million yuan. The overseas copyright belongs to us, and the box office in the mainland belongs to the other party!" Lin Sheng said with a smile.

140 million yuan, equivalent to 1100 million yuan, even if there is no distribution fee in the mainland, there is still a profit of 800 million after removing the cost.

In comparison, the expected 100 million in Hoh Xil is insignificant.

Everyone was shocked by this figure. With an overseas copyright of 140 million yuan, China Film cannot sell a few copies in a year.

Zhou Tao also had a face full of disbelief, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately shouted, "This is impossible, how can a film without any famous director sell for 140 million yuan?"

Everyone was awakened by this shout. After all, this number is too "uncommon", especially when it is placed in a three-no movie.

However, Wang Jianyuan didn't doubt that such a thing could not be faked. He just wanted to know why Chen Guofu suddenly fell in love with this movie.

"It's like this. Director, you are not here these days. I couldn't make up my mind and went to Director Han. It happened that Mr. Chen was also there. After watching the film, Mr. Chen decided to buy out the overseas copyright!" Lin Sheng explained.

It was only here that everyone understood that the co-authorship was negotiated between Han Sanping and Chen Guofu, and Lin Sheng just took advantage of it.

For a while, everyone looked at Lin Sheng with envy. No matter whether he was taking advantage of it or not, this project will definitely be counted in his performance.

With this movie alone, the annual performance is enough.

Zhou Tao didn't expect this to be the case. Now that Lin Sheng used that movie to earn 800 million for the company, it would be humiliating to say anything else.

"Lin Sheng, you've done a good job, so that's it. After you sign the contract for me, I'll go to Mr. Chen's place myself!" Wang Jianyuan nodded and said.

"This director, Director Han has already signed a contract with Mr. Chen." Lin Sheng hesitated.

".That's good. It's safer to sign the contract!" Wang Jianyuan paused for packing up the documents, and then he returned to normal and said with a smile.
