In the office, Zhang Yang had already drunk several cups of tea. He had long calmed down. As a big shot who controlled all the entertainment resources in his original world, this kind of thing was a piece of cake for him.
"I should be done." Yang Mi looked at the time and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was pushed open and Sean walked in with a smile. From his expression, it could be seen that he was very satisfied with the movie.
"Director Zhang, after watching the movie, I have a question that I really want to ask. Please tell me the truth.”Tang Shengzuo returned to his previous position and asked seriously.
"Please ask, Team Leader Tang." Zhang Yang nodded.
"Is this really your first time making a movie?”Sean asked. Judging from the expression and filming techniques of the 33-day breakup, it really did not seem like the skill and experience of a new director.
"It's true." "Before I married Mimi, I was just a low-class man who hung around in society."”
"If this is really your first time making a movie, then I can only say that you're a genius.”"It's my honor to be able to work with a genius director like you," Sean praised.”
"So you're willing to help us publish it?”Zhang Yang asked.
"Well, next we need to discuss the way of cooperation.”Sean said.
After that, Zhang Yang and Sean officially started the negotiation. For a movie that was normally released, they had to pay 5% of the movie fund and 3.3% of the tax. Only after deducting 8.3% of the total box office earnings would it be considered the net box office earnings. If the net box office sales were below 600 million, there would be a 1% to 3% agency fee. If the net box office sales exceeded 600 million, there would be no need to pay.
The theater chain would take 7% of the net box office, the cinema would take 50%, and the investor and the broadcaster would take 43%. Zhang Yang and Sean were talking about the 43%. Normally, the investor would get 28% and the company would get 15%. However, there was also the issue of publicity fees.
Nowadays, the publicity fees were generally paid by the distributing company, and the investors would return it to the distributing company when the box office was settled. However, there was also a way to directly increase the proportion of the distribution party and let the distribution party do all the publicity.
Of course, there were also companies that specialized in publicity in society now. They could also join in. However, with the national signboard of the Flame Shadow Corporation, they could do a good job of publicity. It was just a matter of whether Zhang Yang wanted the Flame Shadow Enterprise to earn more or less.
Zhang Yang knew very well that the movie should be profitable for everyone. If you did not allow others to profit, then they would not play with you in the next movie. Anyway, there are so many movies every year, so it's not like they have to do it with you. Of course, some movies had very weak investors and would be completely controlled by the distribution company.
The final agreement was for the investor to take 25 points and the broadcaster to take 18 points. The broadcaster promised to give " 33 Days of Lovelorn " no less than 8 million yuan, increasing the total investment of the movie to more than 20 million yuan.
As for the release date of the movie, Sean and Zhang Yang had a huge disagreement. According to Sean," 33 Days of Lovelorn " should be released on Valentine's Day on February 14th next year. That way, the publicity would not be tense. However, Zhang Yang insisted on releasing it on November 11th.
"Director Zhang, it's already October 17th today, and there are only 25 days until November 11th. It's really tight, and the publicity might not even achieve the best results.”"Listen to me," Sean said earnestly."It'll be released on February 14th next year. You'll definitely make a lot of money."”
"No, it has to be released on November 11th. Otherwise, I can only discuss it with other distribution companies.”Zhang Yang said firmly. Everything else could be discussed except the release date.
"Why do you have to choose November 11th?”Sean asked.
"Because I want to slap the faces of those who doubt me and Mimi.”"I, Zhang Yang, am ordinary if I want to be ordinary, and dazzling if I want to be dazzling." Mimi choosing me was definitely the right choice she made in her life.”
After hearing Zhang Yang's explanation, Sean understood what was going on. However, to him, November 11th was still too early. In the end, he chose to compromise and do as Zhang Yang said. After all, he did not want such a good movie to slip away from his hands.
At the same time, in Yan Tao's office, his team members told him about Zhang Yang and Yang Mi going to Sean's office. It was no secret that they were all working in the same area.
After Yan Tao heard this, he only laughed coldly and said,"You still don't give up. You really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth.”
"Team Leader, I heard about it. Sean took the two of them to the small screening room and watched for two hours before coming out. As soon as they came out, they went back to the office.”"Do you think he will sign with Zhang Yang?"”
"Zhang Yang hasn't even studied directing before. Do you think his movies are good?”Yan Tao said.
"But they've been talking in the office for a long time.”"If they don't sign it, then Zhang Yang and Yang Mi should have left the office within a few sentences."”
