Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 42 Han Dong's Ambition

2009, June 3.

"The Unknown", which has been in theaters for forty days, is officially released.

"Tencent Entertainment reports for you: 22-year-old cutting-edge director Fang Ziheng's debut film "The Unknown" was released in the early hours of last night, with a total box office of 2.37 million, ranking No.3 in the annual Chinese movie box office list!"

"Sina Entertainment reported: The movie market is booming. "Nobody Known" was produced at a low cost of tens of millions. It raked in a super high box office of 40 million in 2.3 days after its release. The new director Fang Ziheng has become the guest of the major movie giants in one fell swoop!"

As the film was released, "The Unknown" provided the last wave of enthusiasm for the major media.

Fang Ziheng also formally gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry as a director.

In the office, he took out the script of "Detective Chinatown", handed it to Lin Feifei and said, "Print out three copies of the script first, and I will bring two copies to China Film Group, and you will keep one copy first."

For "Detective Chinatown", Fang Ziheng was very cautious.

He brought two copies of the script to China Film, and in addition to discussing cooperation, he also had to set up a project to back up a copy for the radio and television.

As for the others, wait until the crew is ready to copy to the actors.

"Ok."

Concubine Lin nodded, and didn't mention whether Deng Chao and Bao Qiang came to sign the contract today, whether they need to give them the script first.

"Sister Lin, tell Wen Muye to take someone to Thailand to scout the location and contact the shooting location."

"Also, inform Huayi that we will go there in the afternoon!"

After explaining, Fang Ziheng went downstairs with two scripts and went to China Film Group.

Chen Yu had already called to remind him to come over as soon as possible.

It is estimated that Han Dong learned that Wang Zhongjun had looked for him, and was worried that Hua Yi would cut him off, so he asked Chen Yu and Cui Yi to remind him.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Fang Ziheng drove to China Film Group alone.

Chen Yu greeted him in the lobby, the two exchanged a few pleasantries, and went straight to the elevator to Han Dong's office.

"Hi Dong, hello."

"Director Fang is here, please sit down, Xiao Wang, take out my Dahongpao."

Dong Han greeted Fang Ziheng, got up and walked out from behind the desk, and the three of them sat together on the sofa in the reception area.

"The share of "The Unknown Man" has been calculated. I know that you will be preparing for the second film soon. You will go to the financial side to complete the formalities. I will ask them to transfer the money to Hengyu Media's account as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much, Director Han, I'm just waiting for the rice to cook!" Fang Ziheng folded his hands together in sincere gratitude.

These days, box office sharing is not a simple matter, but quite troublesome.

It will take a lot of time if you don't calculate it in advance.

In one, the theaters below are not so stupid, they hand in the box office share as soon as the movie is drawn.

If the relationship of many movies is not enough, the share can drag you for more than half a year.

Director Han asked the financial department to calculate the share of "Nobody's Name" in advance, and prepared to pay in advance at a glance, and bear the box office that the theaters have not yet handed in.

"Nobody's Name" has a total box office of 2.37 million, and it needs to deduct 5% of the special fund and 3.3% of business tax.

Calculated, there is still 2.109 million income left, after erasing 56% of the theater income, the net box office is still 9279.6 million.

Then we have to deduct the 700 million publicity costs invested by China Film Group and the 300 million publicity costs invested by Hengyu.

In this way, there are 8579.6 million left.

Next, 9 million of China Film’s 772.1% distribution fee needs to be removed.

The income that really fell into the pockets of the producers was only 7807.5 million.

Hengyu Media invested 500 million, accounting for 41.7% of the total investment of "The Unknown".

In other words, Hengyu's final income is 3255.7 million.

After deducting the cost of 500 million, the net profit is 2755.7 million!
In addition to these, Fang Ziheng also received an additional 120 million as a director, editor, and starring role.

The remuneration will be paid by the bad monkeys of China Film, Beijing Film and Ning Hao according to the investment ratio, and will be deducted from the income later.

Fang Ziheng prepared "The Unknown" in mid-September 08, the filming started in October, and it was completed in early December.

Then in March 09, I finished the painting. It took a total of six months, and I didn't even earn 3000 million yuan.

Oh shit.

The total box office was 2.3 million, and even 15% of the proportional revenue was not earned.

In the office, the three of Fang Ziheng drank tea and chatted for a few words before taking out the script of "Detective Chinatown" and handing it to Han Dong and Chen Yu.

"Han Dong, this drama will be shot abroad, and the investment amount is quite large. I decided to cooperate with Hua Yi."

"Oh"

Director Han's expression remained unchanged, he glanced at him, and asked, "How big is Director Fang going to make this time?"

"6000 million!"

Fang Ziheng said in a deep voice, pointing to the analysis of the script in the hands of the two: "This drama involves a lot of big scenes. If it is shot in China for 6000 million, it may not be able to get it done, so I chose to shoot in Thailand."

Chen Yu suddenly raised his head and looked over in surprise.

Shooting in China, 6000 million still can't handle it!
Bragging, right?
It's not like he doesn't know the details of Hengyu Media.

Dare to play more than 5000 million plates?

Han Dong didn't move at all. He understood the difference between China and Thailand, and knew that the prices and banknote exchange were different between the two sides.

With an investment of 6000 million in China, the effect of 8000 million or even [-] million can be shot there.

He nodded and continued to ask: "How much share does Huayi want?"

"I'll give them 20% at most. I haven't discussed the specifics yet. Sister Lin and I will go to Huayi in the afternoon." Fang Ziheng took a sip of tea and smiled lightly.

With "The Unknown Man" as the base, he is more courageous.

According to his idea, for the first "Detective Chinatown", China Film Group will have a 25% share, Huayi will have a 20% share, and the Hengyu family must have an exclusive 55%.

Otherwise, after a movie is shot, he will have to work for someone else.

Han Dong smiled, did not speak, and continued to read the script with his head down.

Sitting in his position, he would naturally not discuss the details of the cooperation with Fang Ziheng, and Chen Yu would be in charge of these matters.

Not only the investment share, but also the issuance fee will be discussed later.

20 minutes later!
"Okay, okay, Director Fang is full of talent, he is worthy of being an excellent director of the younger generation, and he can write such an excellent script."

After reading the script, Director Han happily patted his thigh and said three good words.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Dong Han really didn't expect that Fang Ziheng's second play would bring him such a big surprise.

He has been in China Film for many years, and to be honest, he has always preferred blockbusters, Da Cass.

After Li Yin's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and Lao Mouzi's "Hero" came out, this idea reached its peak.

It's a pity that Chen Daren's "The Promise" turned into a dog first, leaving behind a pretentious quotation that no one will be able to understand within ten years.

It was Wu Baige who was personally invited back by Han Dong, and a copy of "Red Cliff" was lost to grandma's house.

An investment of 8000 million US dollars!

It is equivalent to 6 million Ruanmei coins, and the actor's salary alone is 1 million, which is enough to shoot a large-scale costume film.

"Red Cliff" has two parts, and the total box office can reach the cost of investment.

Dong Han's heart was bleeding, and he had the thought of swallowing Wu Baige alive.

As the helm of China Film Group, he cannot and dare not disclose it.

It wasn't until "The Unknown Man" came out that Dong Han saw hope and made money.

Of course, what he wants is not specific profits, but the momentum for the Chinese film market to flourish.

Director Han was full of thoughts, looked at Fang Ziheng with admiring eyes, and said solemnly: "Director Fang, have you ever thought about making a blockbuster ancient costume movie?"

"The one with a total investment of over [-] million?"
