After the post-processing of the movie is completed, in addition to reporting to the General Administration for the release qualification, there will generally be movie watching conferences organized by major theaters.

The premise is the work directed by a great director or a movie starring a big star.

The production company usually invites peers to evaluate together, and then theaters will determine the number of screenings released in combination with the promotion of the movie and star cast.

However, in recent years, with the large-scale entry of capital, watching movies has become a movie-buying club. The original "My Girls' Generation" was handed over 800 million yuan to Wanda.

This time, Zhou Xingchi's "The Mermaid" was held for the filming meeting, and a bunch of them rushed in, including Fang Jianhao.

"How is the movie?"

Although Chen Lin had already known the quality of "The Mermaid" in advance and its amazing box office results, he still had to pretend that he didn't know anything.

"It's not bad, it's just not as funny as those movies in Zhou Xingchi before."

Fang Jianhao told the truth.

"How much does he offer?"

Let's just get to the point.

The reason why Fang Jianhao called was to try his boss's tone. After all, everyone in the circle knew that Chen Lin's vision was always surprisingly accurate!

This is the current situation. Many well-known directors have sold their money as soon as they have appeared, and even more so is Zhou Xingchi.

Hey, this appeal is not inferior to Chen Lin!

In the original time and space, Zhou Xingchi's "The Mermaid" is handed over to the light.

In fact, after Zhou Xingchi entered the mainland, all the movies were basically from Huayi Investment. "Kung Fu" and "Yangtze River 7" include "Journey to the West" three years ago

However, Zhou Xingchi himself suffered a loss in Huayi!

In the original "Journey to the West", Zhou and Huayi agreed that the box office was 500 million. Once the box office dividing line of 500 million is exceeded, Wang Zhongjun is willing to pay Zhou Xingchi's floating profits according to the floating ratio.

The total cost is 113 million, Huayi invested 770,000 yuan, and Zhou Xingchi's Xinghui Company invested the remaining 360,000 yuan.

In other words, Zhou Xingchi can get a reward of nearly 60000 yuan, and then minus 36000 yuan in cost. "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" brings Stephen Chow only about 20000 yuan in income.

Later, the movie was released and the weekly box office reached nearly 800 million. Of course, Zhou Xingchi stopped doing it and wanted to sign a share contract with Huayi.

Brother Wang didn’t know what he was doing, but he didn’t agree. He also said that 500 million refers to the net box office revenue, not the box office figure!

The two even made a fuss in court.

Of course, Huayi won the lawsuit in the end, and Wang Zhonglei also left the very famous saying, "The judge understands movies more than Stephen Chow!"

hehe!

Absolutely lose the big picture due to small things!

Stephen Chow's personality is vindictive, so of course he would not choose to cooperate with Huayi this time!

In the first movie-watching event, only Wanda and Light participated. Wanda gave a contract template at that time, saying that he wanted to buy out the business for 1.3 billion yuan.

The investment of "Mermaid" is close to 300 million, and the one that occupies the majority is definitely Light. Next is Xinghui and its overseas companies.

If Wanda's 1.3 billion buyout is agreed, the two companies will make 100 million.

Neither Da Lao Wang nor Zhou Xingchi would be satisfied and refused decisively.

The news soon spread, and then the second movie-watching meeting, which was at the movie-watching meeting that Fang Jianhao attended, five companies worked together to buy out the exercise rights of "Mermaid" for 1.5 billion yuan.

Zhou Xingchi was excited, so he decided to speak loudly, opening his mouth for 200 million yuan!

200 million yuan, this is a bit lingering, and several companies are a little hesitant.

These five companies naturally include Chen Lin’s studio Zhao Liying!

"Chen Lin, do you think we can accept the price of 200 million?"

Fang Jian was not sure, so he called Chen Lin.

“…I’ll calculate it first.”

Not to mention 200 million, or 300 million buyouts, studios can make money!

But if you really buy it out for 300 million yuan, you won’t make much money, and the theaters will have to wait at least half a year to share the accounts.

There is not much working capital on the studio's books. In 2016, Chen Lin is still preparing to do a big move.

If you buy out the business with a real 200 million yuan, that is to say, Chen Lin needs to pay Zhou Xingchi a total of 680 million lights to win the exercise. If, according to the memory of his previous life, the Mermaid's final box office achieves 3.3 billion, it can bring at least 300 million net income to the studio!

"If Zhou Xingchi agrees to buy out of the 200 million yuan business, we can consider..."

"It's not us, it's five companies, including Light, Alibaba, Wanda and New Classics Media..."

Fang Jianhao was shocked. He didn't expect that Chen Lin wanted to eat such a large piece of cake alone!

Not to mention that the risk is too great, the key is that if you really make a profit, Zhao Liying's studio will be completely targeted by those big capitalists.

"Well, please contact Da Lao Wang and say that I am optimistic about "Mermaid". I personally am very willing to guarantee a 200 million yuan guarantee. If he doesn't agree, forget it..."

Chen Lin thought about it and decided to eat this cake with Guang.

"Don't we consider Ali?"

Fang Jianhao was wondering why Chen Lin made the decision to cooperate with Light.

"Tsk...Ali, those people have no idea of ​​making movies, and I don't like them very much. As for Wanda, their theaters have made a lot this time, so they should be satisfied!"

"Mr. Chen, it's not impossible to do it alone. We can start directly from Zhou Xingchi! I heard that he is a very fond of money, and I'm sure he can press the price below 1.8 billion!"

"Don't, let's be more low-key, build high walls and be king!"

“That publicity…”

Fang Jianhao has promised that Wang Changtian will definitely agree to Chen Lin’s proposal.

The project "Mermaid" will be handed over to Light and Zhao Liying's studio.

"The main topic is 'We all owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket'. Also, we will write soft articles on Huayi and Zhou Xingchi, including the HK couple Xiang Huaqiang and Zhou Xingchi's grudges, which aroused netizens' sympathy for Zhou Xingchi. By the way, we will compare Zhou Xingchi's photos when he was young and now on major forums and websites..."

Everyone owes Stephen Chow a movie ticket, which is definitely the best marketing of the year in 2o16.

As for the two that followed, Chen Lin deliberately added. "The Legend of the Gods" is scheduled for the summer, Chen Lin has decided to start sniping from now on!

"Do you like Zhou Xingchi very much?"

After finally waiting for Chen Lin to hang up the phone, Ying Bao asked curiously.

"It's okay, his comedy movies are really unique, why did he suddenly ask this?"

Chen Lin felt a little inexplicable.

"Then why did you owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket? I thought you admire him very much!"

"Haha, that's a normal commercial marketing method, just like the 'Ange who broke his wings in his previous life, he was not a Chinese person'. It makes the topic hot, I dare say that the box office results of "Mermaid" will make you dumbfounded!"

As the main box office players at the moment, the 8o and 9o generations have almost all grown up watching the free works of Zhou Xingchi.

Zhou Xingchi brought them countless joy, and they gave Stephen Chow a movie ticket today.
Chapter completed!
