Chapter 230 New Film and Interview (5/5)

"Participate in investment? Of course!"

“…No, I mean I invested in the production alone, and the company helped to issue it…”

Zhang Junsheng paused his feet, not knowing what to say...

"Brother Xing, it's very unkind to do this!"

You are all picked up by Yuehua. Now you want to dump Yuehua and work alone?

From Zhang Junsheng's standpoint, he knew that Zhou Xing was a very rich director and actor. Of course, such talents should stay in Yuehua!

But if people don’t care for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth!

The movie "Hundred Changes to Xingjun" only had a box office, and Yuehua made a profit of more than 150 million yuan, but as a main participant, Zhou Xing only received 20 million yuan...

He... is a little uncomfortable...

However, when the personal studio was established, the contract stipulated that Yuehua had priority investment rights!

"From participating in investment to being sole proprietorship, Brother Xing, I'm too greedy and can't go far in the circle!" Zhang Junsheng added earnestly: "And how do you guarantee that the next drama can be sold well? What if you lose money?"

"I know, but I..."

Halfway through the conversation, Zhou Xing shut up...

There is something in it!

Sighing, Zhang Junsheng asked, "What are you going to film for the next drama?"

Zhou Xing made the statement straightforward: "…Tengxun said that no matter what I shoot in the next drama, they will invest, and give me a 20 million director and actor pay, and by the way, there will be 10% box office dividends!"

“…20 million yuan in pay plus 10% dividend? No matter what they buy, they will invest?”

Zhang Junsheng was very surprised. Is Tengxun trying to lead Zhou Xing to take the team?

Is Dongyang Media not enough for you to play?

No... This is to raise the pay!

Zhou Xing has 20 million, so other actors of the same level as him, for example, Wang Bo also needs 20 million!

Otherwise, when people compare their pay, they will directly say that Wang Bo's position is not as good as Zhou Xing.

Hu Ge, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Chen Kun will have at least 15 million yuan in pay...

In this way, production funds will definitely increase!

Which small film companies must be finished...

No, this situation must be curbed. Zhang Junsheng thought for a while and advised him: "I think we should drug it by book. For the director, money is important, but working with a good team is more important!"

"Let's do it like this, you prepare the script first, let's look at the notebook first, and then discuss investment matters!"

If the book is excellent enough, Zhang Junsheng will definitely not give it to Teng Xun.

This also reminded him that with hot money pouring into the market, the friendship is far less than the actual benefits, and Yuehua needs to clean it up!

...

It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and the balcony and three cameras were set up separately, facing the middle.

Zhang Junsheng sat on a chair with his legs raised, while opposite him was Zhang Jie, the editor-in-chief of "People".

The Son of the Plane is causing trouble in the United States, so there must be an explanation, otherwise, mainland audiences will really regard him as saving the American economy...

"I heard you spent $1.2 billion in the United States last month. Can you tell me exactly what happened?"

"…Buy TV, movie online copyright, I have a software that burns after reading, and there are already 40 million registered users. So how can I leave these users behind? Online videos!"

"Then... they said you are a disruptor in the American drama industry, what does that mean?"

"Haha!" Zhang Junsheng laughed and said seriously, "I just filmed American TV series according to the model of creating Chinese TV series. Where did I get the trouble?"

“How to say it?”

"The traditional American drama is filming and broadcasting. I started filming five American dramas at once, and then went online at the same time!"

This is very similar to a domestic drama. It is sold to a TV station after filming. Zhang Junsheng is even more direct and gives them money to film!

"But, many people say that the production model of domestic TV series is very backward... Why do you still do this?"

Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "TV series, the film industry is different from the general industry. It emphasizes content as the king. Good film and television dramas, no matter how they produce them, are good!"

Zhang Jie thought about it, and then asked in a low voice: "...but doing this is equivalent to a gambling game..."

Once it fails, it means that several hundred million investments are wasted...

Just like "Win the World", it cost 500 million yuan and was banned...

Zhang Junsheng nodded: "Yes! In fact, the traditional American drama production model is also a bet on the ratings. They will produce pilot episodes before the official filming starts. They will only buy one or two seasons if the pilot episode ratings meet the standards. Relatively speaking, the burning model after reading only makes this bet bigger!"

After drinking a sip of water, Zhang Jie continued to ask: "...Why do you have to build a video website?"

"…Because you want to open up the media industry chain, video websites are an indispensable part. In China, private purchases of TV stations are not allowed in the United States, and in the United States, foreigners are not allowed to buy TV stations. Then I can only think of it separately. As long as the video website is operated properly, its influence will not be weaker than that of TV stations!"

“Many people speculate where you got so much cash…”

"Oh, I have several investments in the United States. The main one is Facebook shares and Uber shares. Both companies have not been listed yet, but the valuation is very high. I took part in a part of Facebook shares and exchanged them for about 3 billion US dollars in cash. If I want to bring this money back to China, I will have to pay at least half of the tax. It's not worth it! I'll just invest!"

"In fact, in addition to the content investment, I also bought 1,700 retail stores of Blockbuster and reorganized into the peak surrounding stores, "Kung Fu Panda", "My Master Jiang Ziya", and many dolls from "Kuiba" appeared in it..."

“How is the benefit?”

"…It's okay, the gyro toy from "Inception" sold 3.2 million units in two months!"

“…what is the price?”

"The commemorative version of the gyro for the store and online channels ranges from $80 to $130, and the ordinary style is about $10..."

Zhang Jie couldn't help swallowing...

"In Hollywood, the revenue of selling commercial film derivatives can reach nearly 70% of the total movie revenue, which is far higher than the movie box office itself. When Inception was still in production, we had already developed a lot of the same peripherals..."

After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "It's a pity that there is no concept in this regard in China. Although we authorized two processing factories to produce the same gyroscope, we sold more pirated versions..."

“The price is too high?”

"...Not high at all, the price is 8 yuan... We cooperated with theaters and sold about 200,000 units, but the imitation products sold more, and just Taobao alone, more than 8 million units!"

This is normal. Any market is constantly improving, and the North American market also experienced the same stage.

Zhang Jie finally asked a question: "Why do you have to build a media industry chain?"

"In order not to be acquired!"

“…No, who will acquire you?”
