Chapter 507 Good boy
253 million, the interest-related figure is 9,7 million US dollars, and 330,000 US dollars, which is 99 million US dollars. Calculated, there is an extra benefit of 1.5 million US dollars, but Joseph Monroe directly changed his face and scolded Chen Jin for being too greedy. What's the purpose?
Joseph Monroe is famous for his greed in the film industry, but he said that the playboy is greedy, which really forced Chen Jin to make him hard, because the film distribution fees here cannot be considered by commercial and value interests. Perhaps, Chen Jin's methods are too spicy in terms of absolute expectations.
Stallone's heart was pounding while listening to it. He thought that the playboy's bite would bite Joseph Monroe's heart and liver, because Joseph Monroe's absolute expectation at that time was 390. Whether you change Chen Jin from 250 million to 300 million or 400 million, the main distribution fee share It's 9% unchanged, but Chen Jin cut 6% in one bite.
It is indeed a leap to turn 250 million US dollars into 300 million US dollars, but it is not qualitative. Of course, 250 million becomes 300 million US dollars, which is 300 million, which also represents an increase in attendance and relative yield. In short, it is also a day, people Costs such as labor costs remain unchanged, but the benefits have increased.
However, this increase has definitely not reached the distribution fee from nine to three-three. Of course, if they come from Global, Joseph Monroe has secretly laughed at this number. However, Chen Jin's proposal obviously means independent distribution. You have seen the film released by the cinema and didn't bite it fiercely. Drops in the mouth. This is not bullying, this is the rule.
"Mr. Monroe, I think about the explanation of the word greed. Under reasonable demands, the pursuit of the greatest interests is what everyone or team strives for, such as you and me." No matter what Joseph Monroe thought, Chen Jin looked calm.
"Young man, I'm not those fools," Joseph Monroe sneered. "Your so-called reasonable appeal is the standard set by yourself, not according to the rules of the industry like me."
"But, Mr. Monroe, who set the rules of this industry, or is he really unshakable?" With a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, Chen Jin looked very complarious, confident, and even arrogant.
The strong man decides everything. Joseph Monroe understood what Chen Jin meant. It was because of Chen Jin's current identity that he had been working around. Otherwise, when Chen Jin spit out the 300 million, he had already spatted Chen Jin's face and left.
Behind Chen Jin is Jinchen Film Group, which is not a small company. It is a big film company that invested in 15 films last year and grossed nearly 5 billion US dollars. Now there is a saying that Jinchen Film Group will surpass Paramount Pictures in the future and become the largest film group in the United States.
Although Chen Jin is very disdainful, because Paramount will soon disappear, others don't know, and he sold almost 20 films in the first half of the year. Toy Story 1 has received more than 397 million US dollars at the box office worldwide, and Legend of the Night 1 also has 180 million US dollars. The income of eight million US dollars, such achievements undisputedly continued last year's success, and also broke the suspicion that he would be silent this year.
There are almost 20 films in the first half of the year, and there will only be more in the second half of the year. This is what Jinchen Film Group and Chen Jin themselves said. If it reaches 40 films a year, and it still sells so well, it has become the largest film force in the film industry. The distributor depends on movies. There is food for food, and Chen Jin, obviously, is not the person they can easily offend.
"In this case, young man, I think we'd better go back to the original matter. That's all, so as not to hurt our relationship." Joseph Monroe suddenly smiled and calmly said, "What do you think?"
He is a general, which means to break up. I won't release it in theaters for you. What should I do? Stallone has changed his face a little, but Chen Jin is still very calm and shrugged his shoulders. "Mr. Monroe is right, but in addition to the "Deadmen" series, I will also strive for more releases in the second half of the movie. Opportunity, if, I mean, several movies, the box office of a billion dollars, because of Mr. Monroe's insistence, everyone receives about 10% less profit, I think they will probably think Mr. Monroe is old.
"You're threatening me, young man." Joseph Monroe narrowed his eyes and was very gloomy. Obviously, this was the threat of eating fruit. If Joseph Monroe messed up everyone's business as Chen Jin said, it could be said once or twice. However, if it was too many times, Joseph Monroe was afraid that it would be difficult to continue in the position of chairman.
"No, dear Mr. Monroe, I'm just following your opinion. What do you think?" If you threaten me, I will threaten you. Chen Jin, a little fox, is not polite and not afraid at all, because his confidence is really enough. He stepped back ten thousand steps and said that he would release it to Universal, and Joseph Monroe would never not release his film, but Joseph Monroe would be questioned because of this. In other words, at the beginning of the game, although Joseph Monroe wanted to take the initiative, he was actually in a weak position.
He is not fighting alone, and Chen Jin can be said to be alone. Sometimes, it is not a good thing to have more people.
"Well, to be honest, KING, how much do you want?" Joseph Monroe stared at Chen Jin for a long time, but Chen Jin was not panicked at all. He politely added coffee to him, and then looked at him with a smile. For the first time, Joseph Monroe was a little discouraged. He could only give up temporarily. Of course, let Chen Jin say first that he just wanted to take the initiative.
"Thank you, Mr. Monroe. You are a respectable elder." When the atmosphere eased a little, Chen Jin first said something nice, and then said the conditions, "Since you are willing to show your greatest sincerity, we won't insist any more. That's good, 250 million, 30%, what do you think?"
Joseph Monroe smiled, laughing that Chen Jin was cunning enough and shameless enough. The share did rise, but the box office fell back. Obviously, 250 million is Chen Jin's most sure, 300 million, and he was not sure.
Of course, 250 million US dollars is already very high at the box office. After all, the most in a year is 30 to 50 million, and 100 million is already a high box office. 200 million is already rare. As for 450 million, it is crazy to produce one a year.
Joseph Monroe smiled and took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat. It seemed that he had a good idea. It seemed that he thought about it for a long time before he said, "Well, young man, 250 million, 30% 80%. However, as compensation, if you get the independently released film in the second half of the year, we must It must be 40% of the deal. Of course, I won't make it difficult for you to do it. This time, I will accept William Campbell's terms of the release of Impossible 1, which is also a good way to give you face.
Stallone has smiled, which makes Joseph Monroe more sure. However, Chen Jin was directly happy. He laughed and almost spit out the coffee he had just drunk, which gave Joseph Monroe a bad feeling.
Chen Jin finished laughing, looked at Joseph Monroe with burning eyes, and suddenly shook his head, "Dear Mr. Monroe, I think we are only talking about the release of The Expendables 1 now. Maybe we can add movies in the second half of this year, but in the case of Impossiply 1, we'd better put it aside for the time being. Because that has nothing to do with me."
Smart people understand the calculations of smart people. Joseph Monroe knew that he had seen through himself when he looked at Chen Jin's expression, but he still shrugged his shoulders. "It can't be said that it has nothing to do with you at all. If it's deadlocked, the film can't be released, or the release will be delayed, which will affect your plans and your company, and even the income. It's loud."
"Then I'll just arrange the schedule again. There are so many days a year, even next year. What do you think, Mr. Monroe?" Chen Jin looked at Joseph Monroe with a smile and joked, but then said, "Well, Mr. Monroe, I don't think there's any need for us to do that anymore. What do you think?"
"In fact, you and I know that if it's other films, you can indeed kill Mr. William Campbell, but you have to agree to 30% of Impossible 1, because there are too many stakeholders in this movie, not only the 21st Century Fox, but also the Universal, Paramount. People, they also extorted benefits from William Campbell. Now they are watching the play, but in the end, if necessary, they will definitely put pressure on you together. You should know that you are weak in front of them, and this can never be changed.
Joseph Monroe had to praise Chen Jin for being smart enough and shrugged his shoulders. "Yes, young man, you're right, but you should know that if you want to release independently, it is impossible without my help. Because of this, we will be under a lot of pressure."
This is a fact. Although Jinchen Film Group will intervene in the distribution sooner or later, whether it is in the United States or overseas, the sooner or later of this day is of great interest to major film production and distribution companies such as Universal. In this case, they will definitely set some obstacles for Jinchen Group, one of which Fang must include the cinema. Therefore, for the cooperation between the cinema and Jinchen Film Group, they will stop and even threaten the cinema until the Jinchen Film Group is so powerful that they can no longer control it.
