King of Rolls' China Entertainment Tour

Chapter 298 How to calculate Yu Hao’s salary?

Hearing the investment of 4000 million US dollars, Han Sanping's eyelids twitched, his brows furrowed, in disbelief.

Forty million US dollars, that’s an investment of 3.2 million US dollars. It would take at least 9.6 million US dollars to recover the original investment. The total domestic box office in a year is only that much, right?

The first thought is that it's impossible, absolutely impossible.

Then he thought that this was what Yu Hao said, and he hesitated for a while, but his reason told him that even if it was placed on Yu Hao, this investment was exaggerated.

However, he was not in a hurry to speak. Yu Hao was able to speak out, which proved that he was definitely not talking nonsense.

After listening to Yu Hao's description, Han Sanping felt excited after listening to it. This is something that many people dare not even think about.

If someone could really do it in the movie, and add elements such as racing cars, beauties, and weapon fighting, it would make people excited just thinking about it.

If it can be photographed well, many people will definitely want to see it.

Thinking of this, Han Sanping couldn't help but be full of expectations, and he also knew that Yu Hao dared to make such a high investment.

If it can really show up as Yu Hao said, then the investment does not seem to be very large and it is acceptable.

Then he remembered something and looked at Yu Hao with a complicated look.

After a long time, Han Sanping sighed leisurely: "It would be great if all directors in our country could have your courage and courage, and our film market could be half that of Hollywood."

Yu Hao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Uncle Han, you are underestimating the development speed of our country. The market of the film industry is based on the national economy and national income.

Now we are the sixth largest economy in the world. In the future, we will become the fifth, third, and second largest economy. Can it be far behind? By that time, do you think everyone will be dissatisfied? By then, will our film market be in a bad state? "

Han Sanping was stunned for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "Although I am confident in this aspect, how long will it take to reach that level? How long do we have to wait?"

Yu Hao thought of the prosperous film market in the later period and said confidently: "We won't wait too long for this day."

Han Sanping looked at Yu Hao's firm eyes and was silent for a long time. After a long time, he smiled bitterly:

"I'm getting old, and young people like you don't have the energy anymore. I will discuss this with the group carefully this time, but you must wait for my news."

Yu Hao laughed and said: "That's natural. If we can cooperate this time, I hope Uncle Han can take people to Hollywood to understand their operations. I think there should be some gains."

Han Sanping's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he smiled and said, "I will seriously consider it."

After returning to the company, Han Sanping held a meeting with everyone to discuss. After Han Sanping finished speaking, he said seriously:

"Everyone, Yu Hao has proven his ability. This time, maybe he gave us a chance because of the face of us old guys.

If we are still like last time, I'm not sure if we will have the chance to get on Yu Hao's train in the future, so please think about it carefully. "

Everyone frowned.

After a long time, a person said leisurely: "What if Yu Hao loses? We only see his success, but what if he loses? Such a big investment requires 9.6 million to get back the original investment. This is the total amount of domestic films in one year." box office,

Yu Hao has indeed proven his strength in Hollywood, but it is a horror film, which inherently has a certain audience in Hollywood, but is there a market for racing movies?

Even if he can do the same as last time, he can only guarantee to get his money back. Is there a high probability of making money? Why do you think everyone will support this movie? "

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were full of helplessness. They were really greedy for Yu Hao's movie. If it cost 10 to 20 million, they could grit their teeth and pay for it.

However, if you convert the unit into US dollars, you must carefully consider it. After all, how much revenue does China Film make in a year?

Han Sanping knocked on the table and said: "I understand everyone's concerns, but if we miss this opportunity, do you think we still have a chance to cooperate with Yu Hao?

Favor is okay once or twice, but it won't work if it's too many. As for the crooked things? It is our Chinese market that must need Yu Hao, not Yu Hao who needs the Chinese market. Let’s think about it. "

Everyone looked melancholy after hearing this. Han Sanping was right.

But if they really vote and lose, they will have to drink from the northwest wind next year. If they don't vote, Yu Hao's movie will never take them to play again.

When everyone hesitated, Tong Gang, who had been silent, raised his hand and said: "I support investment. Yu Hao's ability is obvious to all. High returns mean high risks. If I lose, I will personally go to the leader to apologize."

Seeing this, everyone laughed bitterly, and finally, they were determined.

The specific share of the US$500 million investment needs to be discussed with Yu Hao before being decided.

Yu Hao was a little surprised by this: "Uncle Han, have you really decided?"

Han Sanping smiled bitterly and said: "That's natural, but you can't give us too little. You also know that although our China Film Group has a big business, there are many places where we cannot support our expenses..."

After saying that, he started to sell miserably.

Yu Hao couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Okay, don't worry. When the time comes, Sugon, China Film, and Warner, let's discuss it together. No one of us will suffer."

Han Sanping smiled and said: "Okay, let's get in line with international standards and see how others play."

After arranging the company's affairs, Yu Hao went back to see his parents. Lao Yu looked at the final box office of "Datang" in his hand and said with emotion:

"You kid, you always create all kinds of miracles. Now that you have broken the domestic record of "Titanic", not many people are surprised.

Now that you have established a foothold in Hollywood, I have nothing to say to you. What I have said will no longer work for you.

Finally, I just hope that you can stick to your original intention and don't imitate some people. Although the colorful world outside is good, it belongs to others. You must remember that you will always be a descendant of the Yanhuang people.

If you have the right opportunity, you can try to bring our domestic actors, they will definitely be your strongest fans. "

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know it well. I plan to let you make sequels to "Saw". According to my estimation, there will be at least ten more. Are you interested?"

Lao Yu shook his head and smiled: "No, I'm old and can't keep up with the ideas of you young people. I will be responsible for filming TV series in the company, which can be regarded as leaving you with a solid backing.

You can try to train young directors. Young men like Xia Huai are all capable and can be given a chance to try. Other directors who think they are suitable can try to recruit them. "

Yu Hao said thoughtfully: "I'll give it a try."

Within a few days, Yu Hao received a call from Liu Heping: "Mr. Yu, the book is almost finished. Why don't you come over and take a look?"

Yu Hao's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

With everyone's expectant eyes, he took the book and read it:

Young people in Los Angeles are keen on street racing. In order to solve the recent frequent carjacking cases of motorcycle gangs, the newly promoted police officer Brian acts as an undercover agent and breaks into the active motorcycle gangs here to collect evidence in the hope of bringing the criminals to justice... ………

After reading it, Yu Hao said with satisfaction: "Okay, but here..." and talked about some small details.

Three days later, Yu Hao officially took his team to Hollywood, and Mr. Han also accompanied him.

Yu Hao first asked someone to register the book and some patents for "Fast and Furious", and then contacted Jack: "Jack, my movie script is ready, and I have also found a suitable investor. Let's talk about the specific investment and filming details. thing?"

Jack smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk together."

Later, the three met in a coffee shop.

After introducing each other, Jack took the script outline and started reading it.

The more he looked at Jack's eyes, the brighter he became, and then he asked impatiently: "Yu, where is your complete script? Have you finished drawing the sub-shots? Come on, show me, I don't believe you have only prepared this. "

Yu Hao shook his head and said, "Mr. Jack, we have to wait until the investment is negotiated. It's too early now."

Jack said angrily: "Yu, you don't believe in our Warner's reputation."

Yu Hao smiled and said nothing. Do you believe in the integrity of Hollywood? It's better to believe that a sow can climb a tree. This group of people can even fool Wall Street, let alone an outsider like him.

Jack finally said helplessly: "Okay, let's talk about investment together, but this time, Yu, should your personal dividends be lowered? You only get 10%, isn't it too much? Some?

It was okay before, only two million US dollars, but now it is 4000 million US dollars. If you take another 10%, it will be four million US dollars. "

Yu Hao rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "We really can't let it go like this."

Han Sanping looked confused. He didn't understand what Yu Hao was doing. Yu Hao was not the kind of person who would suffer.

Jack said excitedly: "Yu, have you agreed to lower the dividend?"

Yu Hao raised his index finger and shook his head with a smile: "No, no, no, Jack, I just think my dividend is too low. Not to mention my first movie.

The movie "Datang" invested 20 million U.S. dollars and earned million U.S. dollars in box office in Asia. There is no statistics on the overseas box office, but it has at least million U.S. dollars in box office, which has increased times.

"Chainsaw", including the salaries of several leading actors, invested less than 800 million, and now has a box office of 6000 million. This is not all. If you include the subsequent income, there is no problem with 1.5 million, and it has also doubled by 20 times,

The salary of a front-line actor in Hollywood is between 1500 million and 2000 million, plus dividends. These are the rules for your participation in customization.

Comparing the scope of directors, although I am not a top director in Hollywood, I can still be considered a first-line director, right? Therefore, the salary of 400 million US dollars is too small for me, at least million US dollars. "

When Han Sanping heard what Yu Hao said, the corners of his mouth twitched. This was still the familiar Yu Hao, who refused to suffer any losses.

Jack's eyelids twitched after hearing this. If you follow what Yu Hao said, it would be true. In recent years, there have not been many directors as stable as Yu Hao, let alone a young director who is only 21 years old.

But if half of the US$4000 million investment is given to Yu Hao, what will happen to the crew?

Thinking of this, I can't help but want to give myself a big mouth just now, okay, why are you talking about this?

Finally, I can only explain sideways: "Yu, that's not how the accounts are calculated. An actor's salary is based on his marketability, and so is the director. The director's influence is much smaller than that of the actor."

Yu Hao chuckled and said, "Jack, do you think my market ability is insufficient?"

After the two played Tai Chi for a while, Jack said helplessly: "Yu, it's hard to calculate your salary. Let's just go with the previous 10%. I think it's quite appropriate."

Yu Hao said with regret: "Okay, who said this is my movie."

Seeing Yu Hao's expression, Jack couldn't help but feel a toothache.

Finally, the film’s investment was determined as follows. As director and screenwriter, Yu Hao would receive zero salary + 10% dividend.

China Film Group invested US$500 million and received a dividend of 11.25%.

Warner invested US$1500 million and received a 33.75% dividend.

Shuguang invested US$2000 million and received 45% dividends.

As for the publicity and distribution after the filming is completed, it will be calculated separately.

Yes, Sugon accounted for half of this investment. Warner was also worried that this investment would fail. After all, the risk was too great.

Then, I found a suitable opportunity to grandly announce the filming budget and investment of "Fast and Furious".

When the reporters in the audience heard that Warner was going to invest $4000 million in a movie and leave it to Yu Hao to shoot, everyone became uneasy.

A reporter immediately asked: "Mr. Jack, do you really want to hand over a movie with such a large investment to Yu? I'm not doubting his ability, but he has only made a Chinese movie and a horror movie. This Can he grasp the big investment?"

Jack chuckled and said: "This friend, Yu, is not only the director of this movie, he is also the largest investor in this movie. In addition, he also provided the script for this movie.

As for Yu’s ability? I have no doubt that Warner Bros. has the ability to take this risk. In addition, I believe in the ability of the director who won the Golden Bear. Thank you all. "

Everyone's eyes widened, feeling a little incredible.

Then a reporter asked Yu Hao: "Yu, did you really invest in this movie? What kind of movie is it? Is it also a horror movie? Or is it a pornographic movie?"

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Our company basically participated in the investment in my movie. This is a racing movie, racing, beauties..."

Mr. Han on the side was a little embarrassed. With so many people, no reporter asked him, but he could only smile helplessly.

Yu Hao has achieved so much, but isn't he still being questioned? he? He's quite famous in China, but in Hollywood? Nothing.

After listening to Yu Hao's description, many reporters' eyes lit up, and the hormones in their bodies began to riot. They all wanted to watch this movie about racing cars and beauties.

The next day, the headline news in Hollywood was: Warner and "Saw" director Yu once again cooperated, investing US$4000 million to shoot a racing movie.

There is an endless stream of news like this.

After seeing this news, both the audience and the actors were filled with emotion.

However, the actors seemed to be very excited. If Yu Hao's new movie can be like the last "Saw", then they will make a lot of money.

Both fame and salary will be a huge improvement.

Haven't you seen that Jim Carrey has gradually been promoted from a street fighter to a second-tier actor's salary? As a result, Zun Long became a third-tier actor, and Mark and Annie also became somewhat famous in Hollywood.
