Hollywood has no airtight walls, and soon the news that Disney and Shen Lin will reach a cooperation will spread among the six major studios.

This project cooperation is a normal business deal.

I had previously considered working with Warner, but they were not sincere enough, so I replaced Disney.

On the surface, others can't pick out any thorns.

But Chen Lin knew very well that Warner Bros.'s senior management, including Christopher, would inevitably feel unhappy.

I can't tell you when I will jump out and bite him!

There is no moral standard for businessmen!

If the project of Interstellar is going well, Warner Bros. may choose to watch due to Disney's face, but once they encounter trouble, such as conflicts between directors and actors, they will definitely jump out and take the lead.

I've seen through it long ago!

Just like when "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" was released, a shooting broke out, and major mainstream media reported the news that it was the same!

Time passed day by day, just before Zhao Liying was about to return to China, after more than ten days of tug-of-war negotiations, Chen Lin finally reached a consensus with Disney Film and Television.

Chen Lin himself received one-fifth of the film's investment of $30,000, and served as director, screenwriter and executive producer.

Total personal salary is $350,000.

These are actually the first content to be finalized in the negotiations. After all, Chen Lin also has experience in directing feature films.

What needs to be negotiated the most is naturally the share of the profit after investment.

The entire project of "Interstellar" has a total of three parties: Disney Film, Zhao Liying Studio and Light Media.

In order to ensure that it can be released as scheduled, Disney introduced AIA to take out insurance.

Third-party completion guarantee for the video.

The so-called third-party guarantee is actually the "pay                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        �

This is the most missing link in the establishment of Chinese film projects, and it is also one of the reasons why dishonesty is prone to occur during the opening of the show.

For example: If the producer and the investor said that the starring actor of the movie was Mr. Ge, the investor would be happy and gave a lot of money. But later the producer said that Mr. Ge was sick and changed to a third-tier actor, and the investor's money had already been invested, what else could he do? He was "kidnapped" like this.

Also, the actor was "kidnapped". The actor signed a contract and the money was not received. The producer took the contract to fool the money. Of course, it was the best to fool the money. If he didn't get the money, the actor's schedule would be settled.

Insurance companies in the United States are similar to Alipay, and investors put their money in insurance companies.

They arrange for actors to read the script. After agreeing, the money will be transferred from the insurance company to the actor's account. If they do not agree, the labor fee for reading the script for a few hours is deducted from the account. The labor fee is very expensive, but it is not a fraud. In addition, once the movie is paid, the insurance company will pay, so the budget review at the beginning is very strict.

Hollywood is divided into first-, second- and third-tier film companies, and the industry is divided into three parts: brokerage, production and theater, which greatly protects everyone's interests.

In addition, insurance companies will strictly review copyright issues. Even if the music in the drama is humming, they have to pay, and record companies will also come to review the film.

The person who has shown his face in the video will have to hand over the photo ID and contract to the insurance company.

Even the extras have had dozens of paper contracts.

Frankly, there are only news and weather forecasts that are free to use because this is something that "God" decides.

Insurance companies can protect the movie until it is released. As long as it can be released, they will bear all lawsuits in the future.

To be honest, Chen Lin doesn't like to introduce third parties because many things during filming need to be reviewed by the other party, but this is the most common film production system in Hollywood and cannot be fought against by individuals.

The investment composition of Hollywood movies is very complex and often involves pre-sales. If there is no guarantee from a third-party insurance company, including overseas merchants with prepaid fees, why should we believe that the movie can be released? If the film is abandoned halfway, wouldn’t their investment be wasted?

There are absolutely no shortage of such examples, so a third-party insurance system emerged.

In short, this is a very complex and complete system and an important guarantee for the normal operation of the Hollywood film system.

Even so, it would definitely not be particularly comfortable for the director to have a third-party review stuck on it, but let alone the current situation, even Spielberg and James Cameron have to operate their own movies under this system.

According to the news obtained by Chen Lin, after Time Warner learned that Chen Lin reached a cooperation with Disney, the Great Thunder canceled several senior executives of Warner Brothers!

What a rare opportunity, I was so mixed up by these idiots!

As for how Disney responds, it is a business secret. Chen Lin doesn't care. He just needs to pay attention to the benefits he can get.

According to the agreement, light accounts for two-fifths of the investment, about $60 million, and should enjoy two-fifths of the revenue share of the film. From the surface of the signed share agreement, this is indeed the case.

Two-fifths of the global box office net income of the film and two-fifths of the copyright transfer fee for TV and Vcd. These are the benefits that can be obtained in terms of light. By the way, there are also the peripheral income in China. Disney has generously assigned all the benefits to Light - they also know that it is difficult to earn the surrounding area in China!

As Chen Lin said before, all of the above are visible short-term returns. The appreciation of the contract stipulates that Disney must pay it within half a year after the video is lowered.

The other peripheral returns of the film have nothing to do with the light that occupies the largest investment amount.

Chen Linze enjoys 5% of the surrounding income with his identity as a screenwriter and director, and this time it takes five years!

At the same time, he also invested $30,000 to account for one-fifth of his short-term returns.

Of course, once the five years arrive, Shen Lin must automatically give up the corresponding copyright, and Disney will have the full copyright of the film, including the sequel copyright.

Foreign investors cannot obtain all copyrights, this is the most default rule in Hollywood.

Of course, Chen Lin can object, but this touches Disney's bottom line!

Not only Disney, but all Hollywood film companies will not allow simple investors to enjoy the copyright of the film.

In fact, Chen Lin is already very happy to be able to reap the surrounding benefits for five years!

As for the copyright, he never thought he could keep it!

You should know that some videos, only looking at box office or peripheral revenue, are completely a loss-making item, such as "The Shawshank Redemption", but as long as the restart is announced, you will definitely gain a lot of support!

Therefore, as long as the copyright is in hand, the film company can obtain long-term profits!

The reason why the traditional Hollywood six majors can become giants is not only because they have complete channels, but also because they have thousands of copyrights for videos.

The copyright can be shared among the six major groups, and even Hollywood second-tier film companies can be used, but let it go.

He is not qualified yet!

Chen Lin didn't originally intend to make a fuss in the copyright. What he wanted was the box office and the share of TV and Vcd copyright. If the film could get the expected profit, it would be enough to make a lot of money for Light and Zhao Liying's studio!

Of course, Chen Lin will not overestimate Disney's credibility. The agreement naturally involves the team of accountants hired by Light to participate in the preparation, shooting, production, publicity and payment collection process of the film.

In fact, Chen Lin also paid a lot. Not only did he take the initiative to compress his salary, he also signed a 12 agreement with Disney, which means that Disney has priority investment and exercise for his last two films.
Chapter completed!
