Smuggler of Two Worlds

300 million U.S. dollars, after conversion, it is about 2 billion Renminbi.

If all of this money is invested in the production of a movie, then you want to rely on the box office to at least achieve no loss, at least the least, and the domestic box office must have a scale of 4.5 billion.

Because of domestic movies, there is almost no overseas box office revenue.

Compared to the domestic box office revenue, the so-called overseas box office is completely negligible.

The aesthetics of the East and the West are entirely different in some specific fields. Therefore, the cost of domestic films has never been considered in terms of overseas income.

If there is, it is an Easter egg. If not, it is normal.

It is a rather difficult process to split the money back through the domestic box office.

The entire box office income of a movie has to be forgotten about taxes, movie special funds, cinema share and distribution costs.

Under normal circumstances, the box office revenue that can eventually be paid back to the film producer only accounts for about 33% of the total box office revenue.

This income minus the cost is the final profit of the entire movie.

Zhang Dongjie is the most powerful director in the film industry, so in film distribution, he also has the right to speak that other directors or producers do not have.

The corresponding movie money-back ratio can be several percentage points higher than the normal money-back ratio.

But even so, even with the follow-up copyright operations, peripheral extensions, various subsidies, and business cooperation income, we want to achieve no loss under the premise of investing 2 billion Renminbi. At the box office of at least 4.5 billion!

What is the concept of 4.5 billion?

Currently, there are only two movies with more than 4.5 billion box office on the domestic film history Ranking List.

They are all movies of hot men.

Therefore, the domestic film investment of 300 million U.S. dollars is really enough to shock the eyes of all filmmakers.

Any filmmaker, as long as his intelligence is normal, will not agree to invest such a huge amount of money in a movie.

This is no longer a risky issue, it is pure suicide at all.

It is conceivable that Zhang Dongjie was shocked when he heard Jiang Fan not only agreed to his investment request, but also added more investment to himself.

“150 million U.S. dollars, Brother Zhang, I can give you an additional 150 million U.S. dollars investment. Of course, I also need to enjoy 50% of the related movie income. “

Jiang Fan repeated it, said with a smile.

Zhang Dongjie looked at Jiang Fan dumbfounded. After staying for a while, he swallowed hard, with an excited expression on his face, opened the mouth and said: “Of course there is no problem in terms of income, although The original investment in Chamber of Commerce was very unhappy, but there are clear provisions in the contract, so they must also act in accordance with the contract. But Little Fan…150 million US dollars…is it too risky?”

Don’t blame Zhang Dongjie for such a reaction. After all, it was 300 million US dollars.

Even if he is an international director, after so many years, his net worth has not reached that point.

“Brother Zhang, there is no essential difference between US$100 million and US$150 million. You said that 150 million is a big risk, but isn’t it that 100 million is not a big risk? You can rest assured and agree. I voted for you. I didn’t expect this movie to make money, but there is only one requirement, that is, the movie should be as best as possible without any flaws.”

Jiang Fan said with a smile.

Zhang Dongjie opened his mouth, his heart was filled with moving emotions.

Strictly speaking, he and Jiang Fan have only known each other for a month. Although they feel that they are compatible and admire Jiang Fan’s abilities, in a true sense, they can only be regarded as normal friend.

But this is the relationship. Facing his investment request, Jiang Fan agreed without much consideration.

And on the basis of the funds he needs, he has risen 50%!

I know what this investment means.

Also knowing that in common sense, this kind of investment is almost impossible to recover the cost, but Jiang Fan still made this choice.

This is an absolute trust in him!

Zhang Dongjie is somewhat overwhelmed by emotions. He has secretly made up his mind. In any case, he must shoot this movie to his peak level!

Never let Jiang Fan down!

Took a deep breath, Zhang Dongjie barely suppressed his emotions, and said seriously: “Little Fan, I won’t say anything extra. This movie will definitely not let you down!”

“Of course, I absolutely believe this. Otherwise, how can I agree to such an investment? 150 million US dollars, no matter what, it is not a small number for anyone.”

Jiang Fan said with a smile.

“Okay, then I will go back and let the legal counsel prepare the contract. If you have any additional requirements, you can tell me now!”

Zhang Dongjie said enthusiastically.

“There are no additional requirements. The film is a manifestation of the director’s will. The actors only play within the director’s framework. So what kind of height this film can reach, it is always your play from Brother Zhang. You don’t need to pay much attention to my thoughts, this is your movie, just do it in the direction you most want.”

Jiang Fan said.

Zhang Dongjie exhaled, and after nodded hard, he turned and left Jiang Fan’s room.

The scholar died for his confidant. Although this sentence is not very appropriate or appropriate to use here, Zhang Dongjie is indeed true, and has such a feeling!

As Zhang Dongjie left, Jiang Fan took out his mobile phone and dialed Jian Jiayi’s number.

Just after the call was connected, Jiang Fan blunt opened the mouth and said: “I need 150 million U.S. dollars, the company’s account, if I take out this money, will it have any impact? “

“One hundred and five million dollars? What are you going to do?”

“Invest in a movie.”

Jiang Fan said, put this movie The situation, the difficulties Zhang Dongjie faced, and his own thoughts, all told Jian Jiayi again.

The end of the phone fell into silence. After a while, Jian Jiayi opened the mouth and said: “Your idea is right. If you can pass this movie, you can further enhance your influence , Then the investment is not a loss. As for whether the movie itself is profitable, it is not very important.”

“If this movie is as good as you said, or even good enough to compete for Oscars, we can follow-up Continue to invest more, once you can get the best supporting actor Oscar, coupled with the trend of your sprint, then the two superimposed, it will definitely play a very beautiful chemical reaction.”

Jian Jiayi agrees with Jiang Fan’s ideas.

“Will it put pressure on the company’s funds?”

“It is only US$150 million, what pressure can there be? I will let the company’s legal affairs sign the investment agreement, this Don’t worry about it.”

“Okay.”
