Chapter 442 Who is more greedy than whom
Baker scolded the little fox in his heart. He and others knew that the two remaining contracts were "Spy" and "Magic Apprentice", and "Spy" was also a spy film starring Chen Jin himself.
Not to mention that the plot of "The Impossible" is excellent, "The Impossible" is originally a reprint of the popular TV series. Such a movie is the easiest to be loved by the audience. What's more, Chen Jin himself starred.
Now Chen Jin is no longer the fledgling KING two years ago. His popularity in North America and the world is a little terrible now. Coupled with his excellent scripting ability, these productions have pushed him down the guarantee of 300 million box office.
That is to say, as long as he is the screenwriter and starred in the film, the box office is at least 300 million at the box office, which is why some film manufacturers now offer Chen Jin's script and the two-in-one price of 65 million US dollars.
Last year, "PlayerUnknown's Battle Force 2" was 310 million US dollars, "Golden Eye" was 470 million US dollars, "New York Robbery" was 390 million US dollars, and it did not go offline immediately after four weeks, and "Mr. Sweetheart", which was released for two weeks, has just ended in the fifth week, and the box office has reached 450 million US dollars. Kim.
Look at this trajectory. As long as he is the screenwriter and starring, everyone no longer doubts the problem of 300 million, and "Spy Impossible" is even more clear that this is not worse than "Golden Eye", at least it can be a draw. So, what does this mean, it means almost five The box office of hundreds of millions of dollars is even more, and as a publisher, it is easy to get hundreds of millions of dollars.
As for Magic Apprentice, it is a magic movie suitable for all ages. It may be closer to children. Children's money is the best to earn, and parents are also willing to pay to make children happy.
However, this kind of theme is not easy to identify. If the effect is good, it may easily break 500 million US dollars, but if it is not much, it may be one or two hundred million US dollars to buy a shout. For the unknown, this is a serious 800 business, and you will not judge casually.
Of course, there is also a point that puzzles them, that is, Chen Jin finally put it together with Impossible, which means that he is very optimistic about that movie, and his previous experience shows that this guy's vision is particularly poisonous, and what he sees can be said to be 100% good.
Attracted everyone's attention and looked at their eager eyes. Chen Jin was happy. He thought that from now on, you old guys should also pay a price. "I think everyone knows very well which two films are the two distribution contracts in my hands," shrugged, "Who makes me the most As for honest collaborators, I always send my message to you without hesitation.
Everyone is shameless to slander this man in their stomachs. They know that there is no use. It is the king's way to share the money. But obviously, Chen Jin has other thoughts.
No one is stupid, but Edward of Universal is still thinking about winning the final preferential treatment. He said with a smile, "KING, I think whether these two contracts should first consider our Global Company. You see, now that the business is over, everyone is more satisfied. Next, we should talk about it. It's about the past.
William Campbell of 21st Century Fox has argued with him and sneered, "Edward, you are really too greedy. KING is going to take it out for us to share, but you want to swallow it alone." What this guy said was terrible, but he hid a mystery. He wanted to set the tone first, prevent Chen Jin from making any more moths, and took the opportunity to blackmail them.
And Vladimir of Colombia smiled and said to Chen Jin, "Thank you so much for your generosity, KING. You are really the most noble gentleman in the world. However, the remaining two should be divided into five parts. You look a little embarrassed. I think you'd better solve it for yourself. I promise not. Let you have any dissatisfaction."
They are cunning. Looking at Chen Jin's plan to make a move, they want to turn things around one by one to prevent Chen Jin from succeeding. However, Chen Jin has been ready for a long time. How can they be confused by such a little trick? He grabbed the two contracts in his hands and patted them, looking complacent and confident. Everyone, I think everyone has misunderstood. What I should take out and share has been shared. In front of me, I just want to ask you if there is any greater sincerity to take over.
Greater sincerity is nothing more than to ask for more benefits. The five families are divided into two parts. At this point, it is easy to break through their alliance. If there are only five of them in the whole United States, they can also grit their teeth and stick to it. Unfortunately, what Chen Jin just said asked, the meaning is that you are not happy. He just looked for someone else.
A film worth 500 million US dollars, with this calmness, it is very likely that "Magic Apprentice" also has a strength of more than 500 million US dollars, that is, two films, which indicates that the distribution fee is more than 500 million US dollars. For those vampires, the distribution fee of 500 million US dollars, gritting their teeth, 200 million US dollars are possible. .
It can't be said that Chen Jin is not righteous. It can only be said that he is getting more and more cunning. The five people looked at each other and were a little helpless. William Campbell of 21st Century Fox frowned, but asked Chen Jin, "Dear KING, can you tell me what you think of Magic Apprentice?"
Chen Jin looked at him with a smile and glanced at the crowd, "Gentle and gentlemen, I may be able to say that I think the box office of the first film "Magic Apprentice" is at least 500 million US dollars, and even my contract has clearly stated that if the box office of this film is less than 500 million US dollars, then I will The issuance fee has been increased to 60%.
As soon as he said this, he exploded. He actually guaranteed that the box office of the film would not be less than 500 million US dollars. However, there was still a big conspiracy hidden in his words, that is, the distribution fee was increased to 60%. This was a failure. However, if it easily reached 500 million US dollars, then the distribution fee must also be from the original. The standard of 50 percent has decreased, and he has increased by 10% at a time, so the decline cannot be less.
Even if it is 40%, if 500 million US dollars is guaranteed, the issuance fee will still be earned, about 40 million US dollars is always there. However, this is a living swallow of half of the guy who began to become greedy, or even more.
Looking at him smiling cunningly like a little fox, Edward in the world knew that his good days were coming to an end. At this time, Chen Jin was already continuing to incite emotions. "This is a real adult fairy tale, but it is very suitable for children, that is, He said that he is the most perfect combination of the two. Everyone should understand what it means. When adults and children are willing to pay, this is the beginning of success. Of course, this is just my personal opinion.
"We have just discussed the profit of the film's distribution. Well, I also want to say that "Magic Apprentice" will not be less than five in my plan. Although I can't guarantee that the box office of each film will be higher than 500 million US dollars, it should not be worse. Of course, there may be surprises, such as Someone has crossed the 1 billion US dollars mark!"
"Therefore, if I have a very sincere distributor, I just want to sign the release of five films at once, and I'm too lazy to deal with it many times in the future." He especially aggravated his tone with great sincerity, and the fool knew what he wanted.
However, this is really too attractive. There are five films. If "The Impossible 1" is added, that is, six films. It is conservatively estimated that with Chen Jin's name, the total box office of 3 billion US dollars should be a problem.
A super big cake, one is tens of millions, and six are hundreds of millions. Chen Jin cunningly threw them out at one time, causing an unparalleled shock. The five families are no longer in the heart to fight. The only idea is how to grab this golden contract from Chen Jin.
Five people looked at each other again, but they turned away quickly. Everyone turned their last thoughts in their heads. Edward of Universal first asked Chen Jin, "KING, what are your conditions?"
This is what everyone pays more attention to. Chen Jin really wants to laugh, but it's not appropriate at this time. If you get cheap, you can't be too proud. This is the truth of life. He nodded faintly. "It's very simple. Whoever is the most sincere will win the contract for six movies. Of course, if he thinks that the last four movies are risky, because I don't The way to ensure that he can only choose the two in front of him.
"As far as I know, you have fully obtained the film copyright, distribution rights, etc. of The Impossible, and it is only the first one in front of you, so it is obvious that you will also have a sequel. If so, can you also consider packaging the distribution rights of the sequel of The Impossible at one time?"
This is what William Campbell of 21st Century Fox said. As soon as he said it, he exposed his ambition. He actually stared at the sequel to The Impossip, but it was normal. The first one in front of him knew success without watching it. The successful movie was not afraid of the sequel was a fool.
Chen Jin stared at William Campbell and smiled, "Well, of course, but I don't know how many sequels there will be, and I can't guarantee the box office of the sequel at all."
William Campbell shrugged his shoulders and smiled. He didn't know what he was thinking. "Of course, but we can pack it simply, that is to say, whether it's Magic Apprentice or Impossip, the number of episodes is not indicated in the contract. I think it's for you. It's more free. What do you think, dear KING!"
