Chapter 276 A satisfactory plan for both parties

"If that's the case, I think you don't have to worry at all. I've come up with a way. Do you think it's okay? If possible, you can follow this!" Wang Zhengfei said.

This Smith is too shameless. Now they are talking about box office dividends, not buyout. They can share 17% of the box office out of thin air. What's the risk? They are really lying out of thin air!

Generally, the selling method of movies overseas is nothing more than dividends or buyout. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. If they sell well, the dividends are naturally more cost-effective. If they don't sell well, of course, they are more favorable to buy out. Of course, for the distributor, it is the opposite of the producer.

Although "Qin Shi Ming Yue" has not been released in the United States, with its own high quality and achievements in Asia, Smith will not believe that he will agree to buy out. In the end, it can only be a dividend, but although it is a dividend, there are relatively different differences. Yes, from one percent to three percent to three percent, there are ways to do it. Anyway, how much can their issuers suppress it? In the end, the lower part is their profit.

Of course, for Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan, it is also clear for the doorway here. They are also doing it now. Can they not know about the tricks in it?

Although Star Entertainment is now only endorses the release of Star Entertainment's own company's works, they are also very clear about all kinds of ways. How can Lions Gate Pictures succeed!

"I have come up with a way, so that we can take a step back, and no one needs to pay too much!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, "Let's just divide it according to the box office results!"

"How to divide!" Smith is also interested in how to divide this.

"Let's agree that if the box office of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" in the United States is less than 20 million, we only need a 5% dividend. If it is higher than 20 million, we require a 10% dividend, more than 50 million, we require a 15% dividend, more than 100 million, and we require 20%. Dividends, if the box office is more than 150 million, we will ask for 30%. If the box office is lucky enough to be more than 200 million, we will ask for 40% of the box office!" Wang Zhengfei said an answer that he had thought about for a long time.

The proportion of this plan is from the initial 5% to 40%. This span is getting larger and larger, and even higher than international practice in the end, which looks a little scary.

Smith was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Wang Zhengfei would put forward such a plan at all. Almost immediately, he wanted to say that this is impossible. If he dares to agree, he will be fired by the board of directors when he goes back. American companies are private and not state-owned enterprises, and they want to expel individuals. It's more difficult than climbing to the sky. If they say they will be fired, then they won't be fired at all.

However, when he saw Wang Zhengfei's smiling face, he suddenly calmed down and thought about it. This plan looked really terrible from behind, but there was a premise that it was a box office sale.

If the box office performance is not good, it will naturally only ask for ten percent, or even only five percent of the box office dividends. They will never lose money, and they can even make a small profit. In fact, Smith's plan is definitely not a bottom line plan. In fact, before he came, the company had given him a bottom line plan. If it can be completed according to the original proposal, it is naturally the best. How much more money can they make? Although this may not be a high surname, it is still possible, isn't it?

And the most important thing is that the authority given by the company to Smith is far more than one percent, or even one and a half percent, two percent. In fact, it is okay. As long as it is not higher than the bottom line of the heart, everything is negotiable.

If the box office sells well, even if they divide 40% to Star Entertainment, they can still be said to have made a lot of money. After all, they say it bluntly. In fact, it is just a distribution company. The place where they really pays money do not need them to take action. In this way, they can occupy more than 10 percentage of the dividends. Where can they find this kind of good thing? Even if the dividend is 40% to Star Entertainment, the income is far beyond their imagination, and it can also be said that it is full of pots.

Gao Yan was also shocked by what Wang Zhengfei said, because Wang Zhengfei had not discussed this plan with him at all, but the time was so tight that he met Smith as soon as he arrived, and there was really no time to communicate. But did Gao Yan quickly react? This plan seemed to be a little different from Star Entertainment. After all, if you want to get a satisfactory answer in terms of dividends, you must have excellent results, but in fact, it is quite beneficial to Star Entertainment. If you can really have the box office that Wang Zhengfei said, it will definitely be beneficial, and it is very beneficial. 40% of the dividend is definitely far beyond his expectations. Even if it fails, according to the proportion of dividends, it can only be divided to five percent, which is much stronger than the price of being bought out in general. Moreover, Star Entertainment did not plan to enter Hollywood at this time, so it would be a complete surprise to be able to log in to the United States at this time.

For both sides, this plan has an explanation and will not harm the core interests. For both sides, it is a stable business, and how much can be earned is not the amount of dividend, but whether the quality of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is good enough to attract the American audience to enter. In the cinema, that is to say, the success or failure is still in Qin Shi Mingyue himself.

"Mr. Wang, this idea is very good, but I can't make decisions about such a big thing. I think I still need to call back to China to inquire. If you don't mind, let's talk about it another day!" Smith stood up and said that there were too many things involved in this problem. Forty percent of it had exceeded the bottom line given by the company. Whether it could be completed or not actually depends on the meaning of the board of directors. He did not have this right.

"Didn't the company have the right to deal with it before you came?" Wang Zhengfei asked with a smile.

Smith's face is a little embarrassed. Naturally, there is full power, but it needs to be within the scope given by the company.

Seeing Smith's expression, Wang Zhengfei understood that there must be something beyond the bottom line that Smith can handle, but where it will appear? At first glance, it can only be the proportion of the division. That is to say, 40% has actually exceeded the psychological bottom line of Lionsgate Pictures, and the psychology is dark. Scolding, this Lions Gate film industry is really not ordinary black. The four achievements exceed the bottom line. They really play an ordinary loud abacus. They don't need to do anything particularly tiring, and they can get more than a 20% share.

Wang Zhengfei sneered psychologically. At this time, Gao Yan stood up and said, "In that case, we will wait for Mr. Smith's good news in Yanjing!"

"Well, I'll go back and inform the board of directors first!" Smith got up and said goodbye.

Looking at Smith's back, Wang Zhengfei suddenly smiled and said, "This foreigner is really cunning!"

"But what about cunning." Gao Yan also said in a good mood. When it comes to this matter, it has actually been confirmed. Basically, it's not a big problem. He said to Smith before that Smith just bitten the percentage of dividends and refused to relax. He was so angry that he wanted to smash the table, and even he even wanted to talk about it several times. The next company will come to the door, or keep it for a few years, and then find a company to release it. However, Wang Zhengfei immediately put forward a solution, and it is not in vain that he specially found Wang Zhengfei. There is still a way. After this matter is solved, Xingchen Entertainment must have reached a big step and make money. Not to mention, the key is that after entering the United States, in the eyes of today's people, it is like a layer of gold. That is golden light. No matter what is under the golden light, at least it looks much more brilliant. "Let him anniper fraud like a ghost, don't you want to drink our foot washing water!"

"Hahaha, but you can't underestimate these Americans!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile, "Although they only like the one-line way of thinking, once they touch the interests, they will be as cunning as foxes, and they will never be a good bird!"

"Ye-en, I know, but how did you come up with this plan!" Gao Yan asked.

"When you were on the plane, didn't you say that you couldn't persuade him? He is like a stone in a thatched pit, smelly and hard. It's not easy to talk about them on the money!" Wang Zhengfei said, "Only in this way can both sides make concessions, but even so, the risk is still very high. If our box office of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is not high in the United States, we will lose a lot!"

"What's the loss? In fact, we have already made money, haven't we? We didn't want to enter the United States, but now that Smith came to us, we didn't lose anything, but we made a lot of money, didn't we?" Gao Yan said with a smile, "No matter what this plan says, it's much better than the buyout!"

When Gao Yan said this, Wang Zhengfei's uneasiness was much less. Thinking about it, it was true. Relatively speaking, if you buy it out, it's almost half sold and half free, which is almost a big reward for opening!

The current dividend ratio looks a little dangerous, but it's better than buying out.

"Well, that's right. Do you have anything else to do? It's okay. I'll go first. I have something to do!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.

"What's so urgent? I wanted to treat you to a meal!" Gao Yan asked unexpectedly.

"It's nothing, just to accompany Dandan to see her grandma and grandpa. Dandan grew up with grandma and grandpa since she was a child. Didn't she come to our house for the Spring Festival this year, so she didn't go back to Yanjing to visit her grandparents. It just so I'm also in Yanjing now, so I'd like to accompany her to visit. I haven't visited the two old people now. It doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it, right?" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.

"Hahaha, yes, you go and have a look!" Gao Yan said with a smile, "Then let's eat next time. You can do your own work first!"

"Well, I know!" After saying that, Wang Zhengfei went out and returned to Fu Dan's resting place. He saw that Fu Dan was very bored and playing games.

"Dandan, we can go!" Wang Zhengfei said.

"It's time to talk about flying so fast!" Fu Dan said.

"Yeah, we don't have much to say. We'll be fine soon!" Wang Zhengfei said with a smile.

"All right, let's go. I just called my grandparents and told them that I was going back. Wait a minute, we have a good fortune. My grandma said she would cook dumplings in person!" Fu Dan said with a smile. I haven't eaten grandma's dumplings for a long time. I only ate them when I was a child!"

"That's great!" Although Wang Zhengfei was a little nervous, he was still very happy in front of Fu Dan.

The two went downstairs together. Neither of them had a car in Yanjing, and even if there was a car, it would not be very good at the extent of the traffic jam. Moreover, Fu Dan said that this place was actually not far from where their grandparents lived.

The two talked and laughed all the way to Fu Dan's grandma's house.

Suddenly, Wang Zhengfei's eyes caught a glimpse of two very familiar people coming not far away, a man and a woman, leaning closely together.

Wang Zhengfei recognized at a glance that the beautiful girl was not Wang Zhengfei's ex-girlfriend, Susan, and the person she relied on was not her former boyfriend Zhang Shaoquan, but another acquaintance of Wang Zhengfei, Li Junhao (this role was guest starred by Li Junhao). This Li Junhao was Wang Zhengfei's former high school classmate. It belongs to a relatively inconspicuous person. Ordinary people will never pay much attention to him. The reason why Wang Zhengfei is very impressed is that he used to be Susan's suitor. At that time, Wang Zhengfei was naturally annoyed, but fortunately, the other party only admired Susan, because he knew that Wang Zhengfei was her boyfriend, so Wang Zhengfei was more impressed by him and had a better impression of him. However, after graduating from high school, he heard that he had been admitted to Yanjing. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect to see him here, and And it seems that the relationship between the two is quite good, and they seem to have become boyfriend and girlfriend.
