supergiant age

Chapter 666

It is an established fact that he will play one of the protagonists in "Infernal Affairs", and Yi Shuihan has no intention of making any compromises in this regard.

This is an extremely important step for him to gain a foothold in the film industry, and he is also confident that he can do it!
But from Liu Haoyu's point of view, Yi Shuihan still has some shortcomings, especially in the field of movies!

Although he had a good performance in "Shocking Killer", the temperament and age of that character are more in line with Yi Shuihan.

However, the two protagonists in "Infernal Affairs" are both extremely deep characters in their thirties. Whether Yi Shuihan can control it is a big question.

But looking at Yi Shuihan's attitude, Liu Haoyu obviously knew that he didn't intend to compromise on this aspect!
Liu Haoyu didn't have a deep understanding of Yi Shuihan's other qualities after being in contact with him for a very short time, but he already has a deep understanding of the aspect of never wavering after making a decision.

Stubborn...and perhaps arrogant!This is Yi Shuihan's impression of Liu Haoyu.

If it weren't for the excellent script of "Infernal Affairs", Liu Haoyu even thought that there would be no chance for further negotiations.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Haoyu frowned and said: "I hope to have a simple audition later. If your performance satisfies me, we can continue to cooperate... If the difference is far, then there is no way!"

Yi Shuihan can understand a director's request for the protagonist, his proposal is not too much, Yi Shuihan is also confident that he can get his approval!
"Good!" Yi Shuihan nodded and said!

The next thing to talk about is the most critical thing-remuneration.

Taking Liu Haoyu's upper salary as a reference, his income in "Theft in the Shadow" is 800 million, which is 1000 million film salary plus 800 million profit sharing!
And "Theft in the Shadow" also won the same good box office, Liu Haoyu's value has also been most truly reflected, the 800 million is definitely worth the money!

The last film was a commercial success, which added to the director's worth, and Yi Shuihan also had an estimate.

As long as his psychological price does not exceed 500 million, Yi Shuihan can accept it.

"It doesn't hurt to talk about money, let's talk about salary next!" Liu Haoyu looked at Yi Shuihan and said with a smile, "Generally speaking, my salary is fixed salary plus profit sharing, this time I want to try a New mode..."

"What mode?" Yi Shuihan said calmly.

"I'm directing with zero pay this time...this can reduce the financial pressure!" Liu Haoyu said seriously: "But I want 20.00% of the box office revenue!"

"Is it the box office revenue share? Not the profit share?" Yi Shuihan asked in a deep voice, looking into Liu Haoyu's eyes. Those gray eyes were deep and dark, making it hard to see the emotions in them.

There was a trace of disdain on the corner of Liu Haoyu's mouth, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Of course it's still the box office share!"

Yi Shuihan suppressed the anger in his heart, how dare he open his mouth like a lion!
What is the concept of 30.00% box office revenue sharing!That is to say, the studio will give the other party [-]/[-] of the income from this movie!

Based on the cost of 1000 million, as long as the cost is paid back, they will have to pay Liu Haoyu 2000 million!

If the net profit is 4000 million, then you have to pay him [-] and [-] million!
Then if the profit is 6000 million... then he will have to pay [-] [-] million, how dare he think!
"Director Liu isn't joking, is he?" Yi Shuihan chuckled lightly, but his voice was extraordinarily dignified. He already made a sincere offer.

"I never joke about this! In fact, this is a win-win way for both parties, isn't it?" Liu Haoyu also said with a smile: "No one can estimate the box office of a movie before it is released. , that's the best thing, you earn a lot of money, I earn a small amount of money, but if the box office fails, my salary will also be reduced, and you will be less stressed, right?"

Yi Shuihan sneered from the bottom of his heart, this Liu Haoyu really regarded him as a young man who didn't know much about the world.

"To tell you the truth," Yi Shuihan added some water to Liu Haoyu, and then said casually after filling himself up: "I have full confidence in this movie."

Looking at the careless Yi Shuihan, Liu Haoyu's eyes were fixed, and he unexpectedly felt a little pressure from this young man who was several decades younger than himself!

But he is an old Jianghu after all, he took a sip of water and said: "It's a good thing for young people to be confident, but this film industry is like a blue sea and a deep pool, even a dragon may drown!"

"Then if that's the case, why don't I take this risk for you, boy? One-buy price, 2000 million, no matter what the box office is, it has nothing to do with your income!" Yi Shuihan narrowed his eyes slightly, showing his sharpness!
The pit he dug before is here!Since making a movie is risky, why don't you just get a fixed salary?No profit or loss will affect your income.

If someone is willing to offer a fixed salary of 2000 million before getting into this script, he will be very excited!

But in the face of such an excellent script but weak Yi Shuihan studio, he developed even greater ambition...or greed!

It is also based on the mentality that I proposed to buy the script before.

"That's unnecessary! If I'm always so stable, I'm worried that my old bones won't have the motivation!" Liu Haoyu stared at Yi Shuihan and said softly.

"A fixed salary of 1000 million, plus a [-]% profit share!" Yi Shuihan backed down a step!
Profit dividends are not equal to box office dividends, but dividends after deducting costs.

In other words, if the profit is 600 million, Liu Haoyu will have an income of 2000 million; if the profit is [-] million, he will have [-] million.

This is a relatively fair way of sharing for both parties, but it is obviously not in line with Liu Haoyu's appetite!
"No!" Liu Haoyu said firmly, "This is too risky for me!"

If you don't want to take risks and want high profits, how can there be such a good thing, even a big director has no such possibility!

……

The negotiation between the two parties is still going on, Liu Haoyu is insisting, but Yi Shuihan refuses to give in, and the negotiation has reached a deadlock.

In the process, Yi Shuihan discovered his appetite and ambition - he was optimistic about this movie and wanted to make more profits.

There is nothing wrong with man's profit-seeking nature, but his appetite is also too great.

Is he the only director in China who can shoot "Infernal Affairs"? How ridiculous!

Yi Shuihan sneered in his heart, becoming more and more dissatisfied.It was clear that he had ulterior motives since he proposed to buy the script before, and now he is fooling around as if he is an outsider.

Although he is a great director and old Jianghu, he is not a fool with a lot of money.

Since we can't reach an agreement, we won't cooperate!Let's see who regrets it then!
