Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 77 Issuance
One is called "To The Roof" and one is called "The Drop".

It’s all the kind of soundtrack that creates tension.

"These two soundtracks are very good!"

Following Zhao Ming's request, Zhao Jiping tried to listen.

It feels quite consistent with the plot of only having 72 hours to rescue the daughter.

Fits pretty well.

He couldn't help but glance at Gu Ming, "You are quite good at directing and scoring music. No wonder you have achieved such great achievements at such a young age."

"Hey, it's all luck."

I'm just standing on the shoulders of those who come after me.

Alas, it’s not necessarily the descendants or the predecessors.

Maybe these songs have already been copyrighted.

Thinking of this, Gu Ming hurriedly said, "I don't know much about music, so I have to ask you to help me check whether there is any copyright infringement or something. Don't think that the melody you came up with will happen to collide with someone else's, and it will end up being infringing, especially On the other side of the ocean, copyright protection is stricter, and I still want to get this film released there."

"The Bourne Supremacy" was released in 2, and "The Bourne Supremacy" has probably started production now, lest people have already made the soundtrack in advance, but it just didn't fit the first part, so they made it to the second one. use.

Caution is the boat.

If there is a risk, then withdraw.

It's my first commercial film, so I can't make too many mistakes with caution.

"Okay, I'll check it for you. Don't worry. All music must be copyrighted. If it's considered to be infringing and you can't buy the other party's music authorization, it won't be included in the movie."

As the soundtrack for a series of film and television dramas such as "Red Sorghum", "Farewell My Concubine", "Alive" and "Water Margin", he really can't accept this kind of bad sign.

It's so bad, much worse than the music being produced.

It's just like acting. It's one thing to be bad at acting, but it's another thing to be a doctor if you don't even know what CNKI is about. It's completely different from the former.

……

After more than a month.

By mid-October.

This film, which took a lot of time and effort and an investment of more than [-] million, was finally completed.

In the screening room of Daystar, Gu Ming called Han Sanpin, and the Wang brothers watched the finished product together.

Seeing the last scene, all the bosses applauded!
Especially Han Sanpin played the drums quite hard.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"It's so refreshing!"

"This movie is not much worse than Hollywood movies."

When Han Sanpin looked at Gu Ming, his eyes almost overflowed with admiration.

He really did not see the wrong person.

Compared to Brother Kai who doesn't listen to anyone's opinions, Zhang Yimou is still flying in the world of literary films, and Feng Pants mainly makes comedies.

Only a young man like Gu Ming can make films that keep up with the trends of the times.

He couldn't guarantee how much it would bring in at the box office, but he enjoyed watching it and even wanted to stand up in the middle of it and applaud a few times.

From this point of view, there is still hope for the domestic film industry!
"It is indeed an extremely excellent film!" Wang Zhonglei flattered him and went straight to the filming. "People who watch it are immersed in the scene and can't help but become nervous following the plot."

"Leave the distribution of Hong Kong Island and Wanwan to us. Don't worry, I will do my best to make this film achieve a higher box office."

"Then let's set a date and show it in the three places across the Taiwan Strait at the same time?"

Han Sanpin looked at Gu Ming, "What day do you think is suitable?"

"December 12th, right?"

No matter what, we have to stay for two months to publicize and build momentum.

You also have to choose a holiday.

The time period before New Year's Day is just right, and many students are about to go on vacation, so they can still enjoy their box office sales.

This year the Chinese New Year falls on January 1rd.

If it is released at this time, the tail can also be swept into the Chinese New Year period.

"It's the Lunar New Year period! Okay!" Han Sanpin nodded, "Then Hong Kong Island and Wanwan will be left to you. It's best to release them at the same time."

"no problem."

"By the way, the last two-thirds of this film are all in English. Is there still a chance to break into Hollywood?" Wang Zhongjun, who has not spoken much, asked.

Of course, he is also concerned about the final profit.

Just looking at the Mainland and Hong Kong Island, if you look at the revenue, the final box office total will be over [-] million.

It would be great to be able to recover 6000 million yuan by then.

This price is less than half of the production cost.

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Wang Zhonglei's words, Han Sanpin couldn't help but glance at Gu Ming.

Dun suddenly felt that Gu Ming's choice of Li Lianlian to play the leading role was really prescient.

"Romeo Deadly", which was released on March 3, was released at the end of May, with a global box office of more than 20 million US dollars.

It was even more exaggerated after it was introduced into the DVD and video tape markets.

It's been almost five months.

Its sales in the United States reached nearly $8000 million.

this number.

Twentieth Century Fox directly offered Li Lianlian a salary of US$750 million plus share of the film to star in "Kiss of the Dragon".

After Lian Lian contacted major Hollywood distributors and told them that they had an action movie starring Li Lianlian, and that two-thirds of it was shot in England and had English dialogue, the other parties were very interested in coming over to take a look.

Let Han Sanpin tell them to invite them after the film is produced.

"I've already invited them."

"The seven major distributors in Hollywood will send people over." When he said this, Han Sanpin was full of confidence.

Since they agreed to come, they will definitely come.

After all, China Film is responsible for the introduction of foreign films. Although the domestic box office is not big now, no Hollywood company can fail to see a potential market of more than one billion people.

Anyway, I just came here to watch the movie, and I don’t have to let you buy it. Who would offend myself for this?
Businessmen will never struggle with money!

"That's good. Let's watch it again then. I quite like it." Wang Zhongjun laughed, covering up his lack of confidence just now.

……

Han Sanpin still has some respect with foreign film producers.

within the next week.

MGM, [-]th Century Fox, Warner, Sony, etc., which had not been bankrupted by Wu Baige, all sent people to watch the film.

That being the case.

Gu Ming simply organized a movie viewing party and asked them to watch it together at the same time.

So that the other party knows that they are not the only ones who value this film.

In order to get better terms.

As the video begins to play.

The people sent by various companies holding a notebook all became serious and began to work.

The first third of the film is in Chinese, and although it has English subtitles, it is still difficult for them to watch.

In addition, there are not many action scenes, and it is more about the father's love for his daughter, so they are still a little disappointed.

I made a trip and found nothing.

At most, I can make good friends with China Film Group.

But after her daughter was arrested abroad, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Action scenes come one after another.

Handheld photography with just the right amount of fast editing.

As well as the decisive and decisive action design, the eyes of several people shone brightly.

Wait until the video has finished playing.

Several people gathered around Gu Ming and Han Sanpin and started talking, "Han, Gu, this film can be introduced to North America. We at Universal are willing to give you the most generous terms. We will pay for the promotion fee, and as the distributor, we will draw 40.00 from the box office." %, 30.00% distribution fee for disc derivatives.”

"Silk……"

Even if we know that this distribution fee is actually the normal commission for most films entering the US market.

Gu Ming still admired this guy for stating this condition so generously.

I am still not qualified to be an entrepreneur!
It's far worse than the other party.

You know, 40.00% is 40.00% of the total box office before tax.

With a box office of 40.00 million, after deducting tax and paying a 800% distribution fee, the producer may only have [-] million US dollars left.

As for this, I don’t know how long it will take to get the 800 million US dollars. Generally, one or two years is a normal time for the box office division to be settled.

Others also gave their own conditions one after another.

But you said it was a coincidence.

The conditions are very different from those around the world.

"too low."

Han Sanpin shook his head.

"Most of this film has English dialogue, and it is Li Lianlian's action film. I think you all know the sales of his last film in the box office and disc market. We cannot accept this condition."

"How about we only charge 15.00% for the distribution fee, and the publicity fee is additional?" A person from [-]th Century Fox put forward another proposal.

Once this condition comes out.

Gu Ming suddenly trembled.

Publicity expenses are calculated separately, which is definitely a big pitfall.

Whoever jumps will die.

Several major Hollywood giants have media groups behind them.

Publicity expenses are easy to account for.

The income from the final chapter of Harry Potter can be turned into a negative number.

When the time comes, it will completely trick you to death.

Even if you find an audit firm, it will be in vain. Nothing will come out of the audit at all. Otherwise, so many people would not be cheated, and even Wall Street would have to admit defeat.

Gu Ming didn't think he was so powerful that the other party wouldn't dare to cheat him.

Moreover.

Where's the trap?

If no problem is found, it's not a scam, it's just a Hollywood ledger.

This is how we do things!
At this time, Gu Ming and Han Sanpin discovered that two people sent by Sony were Anthony from Sony Columbia, who had invited Gu Ming to go to Hollywood, and the director of the production department of Sony Columbia Asia. They were thin and wore a black frame. Chen Guofu, who was wearing glasses, obviously had something to say.

Gu Ming and Han Sanpin looked at each other, asked their men to accompany the others, and called the two people from Sony Columbia out first.

"Anthony, we are old friends. Let's talk about anything we have."

"Yes, Director Chen, if you have anything to say, tell us and we will listen." Han Sanpin started chatting with Chen Guofu.

"Gu, if you want to take a commission from the issuance..."

Anthony got straight to the point.

"We at Sony can give us at most two more points, a 30.00% distribution commission."

"To be honest, it's partly because you are a foreign film producer, but it's mostly due to profit considerations."
