Chapter 21 Reaching Cooperation
what's the situation?
300 million just for an overseas copyright?
So what's the price? Even if I increase my investment to 100 million, the box office share in the Mainland is still my own.

"Boss Lin, are you sure you're not joking?"

"This is the result of our many discussions. We believe that this movie has great potential overseas. At the same time, we are willing to support domestic filmmakers. I hope you can make better movies."

There are a lot of blah blah, which means you are taking advantage of it.

"What about the distribution fee?"

"15 points, most movies have this ratio, and at the same time we will launch all channels to distribute this movie with all our strength." Lin Sheng said seriously.

Tang An shook his head, and said with a smile on his face, "Since your company supports independent filmmakers like us so much, then 5 points will allow me to get back a little more money, so that I won't even be able to recover the cost."

Tang An is already very satisfied with the proportion of the film's revenue distribution, even though he knows that China Film Group may get more money from overseas copyrights.

But he doesn't have that channel himself, so he is lucky to keep the domestic box office!
However, the distribution fee can still be negotiated. It depends on what China Film expects from overseas copyrights, and whether they can ignore this pitiful distribution fee.

"Five points is the treatment only famous directors like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are entitled to. Director Tang's request is too much!" Lin Sheng frowned.

Even if China Film doesn't care about the distribution fee, but the rules are there, if a new director's film can get the same treatment as a famous director, then it will not be laughed at if it spreads.

Tang An also realized that his request was too outrageous, so he immediately changed his words, "Then make a compromise, how about 8 points for Mr. Lin?"

Lin Sheng shook his head, still thinking it was too low.

Although Han Sanping gave up part of the profit to Tang An, compared to the 140 million yuan, this distribution fee is nothing.

However, as the leader of the publishing department, it is his duty to strive for a higher share for the group, and it is also a place to reflect his working ability.

After some bargaining, the issuance ratio was finally set at 10 points, which is a figure acceptable to both parties.

Finally, the release time has been finalized, and it will be fully released in the mainland on September 9.

The next step is to sign the contract.

When he wrote his name on the contract, a stone in Tang An's heart finally fell to the ground.

Later, he entrusted Lin Sheng to complete a series of procedures for the film in the name of China Film Group, and Tang An said, "By the way, Mr. Lin, can I watch the whole process of post-production of the film?
"This is no problem, but I still suggest you leave it to professionals!" Lin Sheng nodded.

"Don't worry about Mr. Lin, I just hope that I can see the finished film as soon as possible. After all, this is my first film, and there is always a special feeling!"

"You arrive at the Huairou film and television base at 8 o'clock the morning after tomorrow, and I will greet them!"

"Then I'll leave first, and leave everything to Mr. Lin!"

After everything was settled, Tang An left.

With a backpack on his back, he walked briskly out of the gate of China Film Group.

However, I ran into an acquaintance.

Zhou Tao stood aside with his hands behind his back, obviously waiting for Tang An.

He approached and looked up and down, and said in an inexplicable tone, "Boy, what did you talk to Lin Sheng about?"

"President Zhou will know about this soon. Please support a movie ticket when the movie is released!"

Tang An is in a good mood now, he didn't speak quickly with him, he left a word casually and strode towards the nearest bus stop.

In 04, the capital city was not considered congested, and it took more than two hours to drive to the Huairou film and television base in Yangsong Town, HR District.

Unlike Hengdian, Huairou Film and Television Base's biggest business is actually the post-production of film and television dramas, and it has gathered more than half of the post-production units in the country.

As for the film and television shooting business, it will take around 08 for the studios and exterior buildings in the base to be fully completed, making it a super-large film and television production center second only to Hengdian in China.

The film digital production base under China Film Group is located here, and the production base includes dozens of related supporting companies, including post-production companies.

For the arrival of him as a director, the special effects company actually did not welcome him.

No one is happy when an outsider directs an expert.

But Tang An didn't come here to point fingers, as Lin Sheng said, professional things should be left to professionals.

If he had no choice but to have a little more money, Tang An would not take on several jobs.

To put it bluntly, Tang An just came here to live and eat. Now that the money on his body is less than one penny, renting a house is at least one payment and three deposits, which is a big burden for him.

The other party didn't hesitate to give him an extra work meal. Tang An stayed in this special effects company every day and promised not to touch any equipment inside, so the other party left him to find a table to make do with and sleep for more than half a month.

Fortunately, it's summer now, otherwise I really can't stand it!

.........

China Film Group, a regular meeting of the distribution department for a week.

Director Wang Jianyuan sat on the top seat with a tired face. During this period of time, he was busy with the release of "Harry Potter", and almost ran all over the country's large and small theaters.

30% of the distribution share. Although releasing a Hollywood blockbuster is just a matter of counting money, it still needs to be arranged by the theaters.

After smoking a cigarette and drinking some tea, Wang Jianyuan glanced at the audience and said, "What good projects do you all have these days, let's talk about them!"

The team leaders looked down at the documents in front of them, but no one spoke first.

The distribution scene these days is great, the major distribution companies have almost grasped the lifeblood of the film industry, and all the producers are begging you to eat and get cards, and young models to sleep with you.

But behind the scenes, there are also difficulties of its own. Distribution requires performance. Otherwise, the dignified director will personally negotiate with the theater company?
For these team leaders, performance is the most important thing. The group's ability evaluation depends entirely on performance, which is directly related to their own future.

And those producers tend to choose the people with the best performance in the past. After all, if all the projects you handle hit the street, the theaters will naturally have concerns when arranging the films, and the producers are also worried that they will become the next one to hit the street. object.

But high-quality projects are hard to find. These days, audiences recognize big directors, big stars, and big productions. Movies that include these three types of elements are the targets of everyone's competition.

No one wanted to be the first bird, the atmosphere became quiet as usual, everyone's eyes were on the table, as if there was something attractive on it.

Looking at these subordinates who have no sense of urgency, Wang Jianyuan couldn't help feeling sad, as if he was holding a meeting in those dead state-owned enterprises.

Thinking that he went to the front line this time, running back and forth, and these people didn't do anything in the company, Wang Jianyuan felt angry for a while.

ps: Please collect and recommend tickets! ! !
