Chapter 494 Win-win Cooperation
If they hadn't confirmed the production cost to 1 million US dollars, today's negotiation means that they won nothing.

But even so, even if the box office is 55 million, according to Disney's rules, a rough calculation of 1.1% of the share will get back 1 million, deducting 1000 million in costs, that is, a profit of [-] million.

How many millions is the family divided?
In other words, only [-] million yuan is guaranteed.

Even if it breaks 500 million, after deducting the cost, the gross profit attributable to the producer will be 30 million. Even if Ningyuan and the others can get 2000%, it will be less than [-] million, which is still not paid back.

What's more, other consumptions such as tax rates have not been counted in the middle, otherwise it will be lower.

If they want to return their net income, they need at least 4 million at the box office.

Not to mention Disney, how many films in Hollywood have grossed over 4 million?

Naturally, both Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang were a little discouraged.

Although they didn't say it clearly, Ning Yuan could somewhat feel that they had objections to giving up the copyright and asking for the follow-up priority of a "castle in the air".

In fact, Ning Yuan also said this point during the previous discussion, and they also expressed that they had no doubts.

But the point is that the follow-up priority right now is conditional on giving up the copyright.

If it was his own subordinates, Ning Yuan could use the words "you will know when the time comes", but they are partners, Ning Yuan said:
"I have analyzed that there has been no such type of film for decades, and superheroes in Europe and the United States have similar characteristics, and this different setting is very eye-catching."

"Besides, it is the down-to-earth setting of the protagonist's personality. If in a fantasy movie, the protagonist is no longer the image of Wei Guangzheng, but down-to-earth, each of us can find our own shadow in it. , will this sense of substitution increase again?"

Although the words "Wei Guangzheng" and "down-to-earth" sound fresh to them, the meaning is still understandable. After hearing the words and thinking about it, it seems to make sense.

Seeing their expressions, Ning Yuan smiled and said:

"But don't forget that it's not a feature film, but a fantasy film, just like "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings". These two films have been released by Uncle Qiang, so he should be very familiar with its selling points .”

After getting acquainted, Jiang Zhiqiang said that Mr. Jiang was too born, and Ning Yuan changed his name to Uncle Qiang.

Hearing what Ning Yuan said now, Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, and finally connected the two films with the Caribbean. Han Ping was also thoughtful. The two films released this year brought a unique sense of freshness to Chinese audiences.

Especially the cool special effects amazed the audience, including Han Ping. After all, this is phenomenal.

Although the domestic box office of these two films is more than 5000 million, this is after all, in 02, the national box office for the whole year was only about 10 billion, accounting for more than 5% respectively. Before Ning Yuan came back, the annual box office exceeded 700 million When it is 5 million, 14% is [-] billion, which is quite a lot.

Ning Yuan continued:
"The characteristics of Hollywood blockbusters, first of all, are all kinds of novelty and cool eye-catching, those special effects, those wonderful ideas, all fascinate us. In this regard, we have seen all the plots in the Caribbean, have they attracted you?"

Both Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang nodded. If not, they would never have come to talk to Ning Yuan about this.

The fact is exactly the same. The mainstream audience of the Caribbean in China should actually be a little older, over the age of 30 and [-], which is also the reason why the box office in China is not high.

After all, unlike Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, especially the latter, young people prefer.

Ning Yuan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right, the plot is good, and in terms of special effects, there is no need to worry about Disney's production, and it will definitely exceed expectations. In this way, we have nothing to worry about."

Looking into the distance, Ning Yuan raised his hands up: "The box office will definitely be very high, so high that we can all make a lot of money."

Jiang Zhiqiang and Han Ping looked at each other. They were indeed moved by Ning Yuan's words, and there was a trace of expectation in their eyes, but then Han Ping seemed to think of something and asked:

"In this case, why did they allow us in?"

Ning Yuan smiled: "The authorities are obsessed, but I am a bystander."

Jiang Zhiqiang added: "Disney's spread is too big now, mainly because of financial constraints. In fact, it is because of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" that they will set up a movie with this theme, just to follow suit and seize The market, but if you move too fast, it’s easy to worry too much.”

The fact is indeed the case, the second male number in the Caribbean found the elf prince with this in mind.

It can even be said that in the first Caribbean movie, the second male lead had a stronger box office appeal than the first male lead. After all, he just carried the prestige of "Lord of the Rings" and gained a large number of female fans around the world.

Even the men couldn't help admiring how there could be such a beautiful man.

It's just that after arriving in the Caribbean, he became a disgraced little pirate and blacksmith, which made many fans dissatisfied, but even so, he was still able to play handsome, and became the face value of the whole movie. A different masculinity for the elf prince.

Han Ping was stunned, and then thought about it:
"If that's the case, the first film was successful and brought great fame. Doesn't it mean that as long as the second film's standard is not lower than the first film's, there shouldn't be a big problem in surpassing the first film's box office?"

Ning Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "The third uncle finally understands my intentions, yes, because of this, I want the follow-up priority, otherwise the first part will make money for them, and the flow of funds will open, and the second part The second part doesn’t need other people’s investment.”

Not only Han Ping, but also Jiang Zhiqiang recalled it at this time, sighed, and then said a little funny:
"It seems that we are really old, haha, but I am lucky to know you."

"Xiao Yuan is very powerful. I discovered it a few years ago." Han Ping put his shoulders on Ning Yuan's shoulders, with a gratified gaze of watching his juniors grow into talents.

But Jiang Zhiqiang immediately exposed it: "Then you still questioned it just now?"

Han Ping choked, and then said in a bad mood, "It sounds like you're at ease."

Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help laughing, Han Ping also found it funny, and then both of them burst out laughing, and Ning Yuan joined in immediately.

Not one day later, Michael called and said that the company agreed to this method, giving up the copyright, and replacing it with the follow-up priority, which is not lower than this investment.

Then, there will be a new round of detailed negotiations, drafting of contracts, and mutual audits.

The day before Christmas Eve, at Disney headquarters.

"Happy cooperation!"

The signature takes effect, and the two parties... should have reached an agreement with multiple parties, shaking hands and congratulating each other.

"boom!"

Champagne is opened to celebrate the occasion.

The three of Ning Yuan and the others looked at each other, all very excited, and Roy and the others also smiled, as if they also felt that this cooperation was a good deal.

A win-win situation.
