Chapter 482 20% of the divisible box office
Lin Nan did not give a clear answer as to whether he would attend the Oscars.
If we say it now, the media may speculate on what it will be like within this year. If he knelt down then, it would be a shame.
The filming of "The Invisible Guest" was really fast, so much so that when Lin Nan and Liu Yifei returned to China, they even caught up with the celebration party of "囧囧".
This is the second domestic film with a box office of over 1 billion, and many people in the industry came to support it.
Apart from Lin Nan, Xu Zheng has the most people around him, although in everyone's opinion, the latter's foundation is a bit weak.
But no matter what, he is indeed the second director in the 1 billion box office club.
"Director Lin, congratulations."
Jackie Chan walked over with a smile on his face, holding a wine glass.
"Brother, you are too polite. I should say we are happy together. "Twelve Zodiac Signs" also sold 881 million. Plus foreign copyrights, we must have made a profit."
"What? The investment is only 300 million, but it can't be compared with your company's "囧". The cost plus publicity and distribution is up to 40 million, right?"
Jackie Chan laughed, that logo The big nose is particularly dramatic.
Lin Nan nodded and did not deny it. This was almost an open matter in the circle.
Wang Changtian's expression at this moment was very annoyed. He had made tens of millions less in publishing fees.
“When will the sequel be made?”
"What sequel?" Lin Nan asked confused.
"Xu Zheng said that there will be a sequel to "囧囧". When the time comes, it will be released by Lighting. I will get up from where I fell."
Hearing this , Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh, Wang Changtian must be resentful.
However, Xu Zheng did seem a little out of sorts. No wonder he kept glancing at Lin Nan just now.
“It’s hard to say what the sequel will be, but if it is made, it will definitely be given the light.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”

The publicity for “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” is the largest among Spring Festival movies.
This is Zhou Xingchi, a person with fans and box office.
No, Ma Yun and I held a media symposium in the capital, which seemed to be the focus of the film industry these two days.
It is said that Zhou Xingchi's emotional intelligence is not high, but that is not the case in Lin Nan's opinion.
Otherwise, why would I have said that compliment at the scene:
"I think "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is perfect, but the only regret is that Ma Yun did not play Sun Wukong!"< br>
Ma Yun was also rude: "Zhou Xingchi asked me to play the role of Sun Wukong, but I didn't agree. Because my schedule was too full and the salary was too high.
But I agreed with his idea of inviting me, Very imaginative. Because I regard myself as the Monkey King and dare to fight..."
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
In fact, the symposium between Ma Yun and Zhou Xingchi was also a step for Alibaba to enter the film and television industry.
“You also went to the scene?”
“Yes, many companies have left the invitations sent by Alibaba and Huayi at the same time. This Chairman Ma is still thinking about Take a stake in our company."
Yue Jun recalled the situation the day before yesterday and said to Lin Nan. At that time, the latter was finishing a movie in Hollywood.
"My principle has always remained unchanged. Lin Nan Pictures does not accept investment."
"That's what I answered. But that person is quite cool. It's quite interesting. He said that if he doesn't accept shares, they can buy the whole thing. , everything can be measured in money, just ask Director Lin to quote, haha..."
Before Lin Nan could laugh out loud, Yue Jun laughed first and added:
"That person said in front of the media that Alibaba will enter the film and television industry sooner or later, and it will definitely redefine the film and television industry. Everyone thinks it is funny and takes it as a joke."
Lin Nan put away his smile , I felt a little emotional.
The last time Alibaba held the "Internet Era + Film and Television Culture Industry Summit", Ma Yun's attitude was still very mild.
Now you are directly shouting that you want to "redefine the film and television industry"?
The change of attitude is too fast, the ambition is so nakedly talked about, and the film and television industry is viewed from a downward attitude!
However, this situation can indeed easily paralyze people in the circle. The film and television industry thinks that Ma Yun who can say such things is like a fool, a rich fool.
When Ma Yun looked at a group of film and television company bosses, she was probably full of disdain, like looking at a fat pig...
"Seek the skin of a tiger, and sooner or later you will be eaten alive." Lin Nan muttered in a low voice.
…………
The selection of the new four Xiaohuadan is the most talked about thing in the entertainment industry recently.
Although it feels like there are many actresses and female stars selected, the situation is actually somewhat clear.
Hua Yi strongly recommends Yang Ying. This is like a big joke. What works does she have? All he can do is frown, stare, and giggle!
But no one in the industry dares to laugh. Who dares to offend Hua Yi, who is at the height of his power, and Master Huang, who has connections all over the film and television industry? The answer is no.
The Tang people used the whole company's efforts to push their first sister up. Drafts and trolls are everywhere on the Internet, and they probably cost a lot of money.
Ni Nai is very lucky. She has the support of Feng Shaofeng's team. Even Zhang Yimou personally stood up for her, which was a huge momentum.
Yang Mi is the most stable. Compared to four years ago, her career is better and she has a better background.
No one would think of replacing Yang Mi, because it is almost impossible.
All in all, this year's "Four Little Actresses" are more commercial in nature and have a background. Their works are secondary, and they have a lot of room for maneuver!
But in other words, once you get this title, it will be of great help to the career of a new actress.
…………
Liu Yifei’s Weibo is already crowded with netizens, and the noise is very interesting.
"Producer Liu is the only one who has been promoted to the top actress. Who do you support as his successor?"
"The word 'successor' is not used well, because no one can copy her path. Where can I find another director Lin?"
...
"This is all a false name, Actually, you don’t need to take it so seriously, my friends don’t really care about it, including me at the time.” Liu Hanhan replied to a Weibo post and was instantly surrounded by netizens.
“If you say this, it will shock many people.”
"You are the only one who dares to say that, and you will kill a bunch of people."
"Director Lin, take care of her, she just tells the truth and irritates people..."
"Stop it. No, she's in charge of me!" Lin Nan joined in the fun.
“I’ll go, alive!”
……
Lin Nan stopped checking Weibo because Xu Zheng arrived.
"Sit down."
"Thank you, Director Lin."
Xu Zheng looked in good spirits, and Lin Nan didn't pay much attention to it during the celebration banquet. Looking at it now, compared to the time they met a month and a half ago, Xu Zheng is obviously more rounded.
It seems that in the past month and a half, I have been socializing a lot and eating and drinking a lot.
The other party spoke, trying his best to restrain his nervousness and speak calmly:
"Director Lin, you said you would discuss the copyright matter after returning to China last time, now?"
" You have already said that there will be a sequel. It seems that you are really determined."
"Yes, I am confident to make it." Xu Zheng nodded.
"Then what deal do you use? You should know that the cost of this kind of series of movies is not high, but the box office reputation is so good, the copyright is not cheap."
Lin Nan said with a smile, acting very casually.
But in Xu Zheng's view, the more casual the tone, the less likely Lin Nan would give him the copyright easily.
"Director Lin will give me the copyright, and don't worry about anything else. 30% of the movie's revenue will be given to the company."
Hearing this, Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, "I still I thought you would tell me how much to buy it out.”
“I can’t afford it. Even if the cost of the sequel is the same as that of “囧”, the box office will be calculated as 600 million, and the producer’s income will be the same. About two hundred million.
I can't afford that much money, so I can only promise the profits after the movie is released. "Xu Zheng was honest and told the truth.
"30% of the movie's revenue is also 30% of the producer's revenue? "
"Yes. The company doesn't have to worry about anything. And you know, movies are gambling, and there is no guarantee that the box office of the next one will be able to catch up with "囧囧"..."
Lin Nan nodded, although that is what he said, but this is " "囧" series, the reputation has been accumulated here
Even if the sequel is a bad movie, it can still trick a group of people into entering the theater...
"How about you listen to my thoughts?" Lin Nan said.
"You, you said."
"30% of the producer's revenue is too little. I will give you the copyright. In exchange, I want 20% of the divisible account of the first sequel. How about 10% of the box office for subsequent sequels?
Lin Nan's words made Xu Zheng swallow unconsciously.
20% of the total box office can be divided. 20% of the box office revenue after excluding film special funds and other expenses is almost half of the producer's income
Because the producers and distributors can only get about 43% in total, and there will be changes only if they bet against each other.
“You can think about it.”
Lin Nan said softly. He was ready to bargain, but the next second he was stunned.
"I, accept this condition."
Xu Zheng said eloquently. In his opinion, the cost of a series of movies like "囧" cannot be that high in the first place.
Moreover, with the blessing of word-of-mouth for the first two films, the box office of the following films will definitely not be low. Xu Zheng is confident that he can control the costs and make a lot of money!
To be honest, Lin Nan was surprised by Xu Zheng's decisiveness. He is indeed ambitious and ambitious!
“Where is the script?”
“I think I can do it myself.”
“Then another day, you can sign the contract.”
"Okay, thank you, Director Lin."
Until Xu Zheng left, Lin Nan still didn't recover.
The other party actually agreed to his conditions at once?
How afraid are you of him changing his mind, or how much do you value this opportunity?
"Maybe it's both..."
.........
Lin Nan returned home in a good mood and saw Shu Chang.
The two girls were chattering there, commenting on the candidates for the "Four Little Girls" on the Internet.
"Changchang, what, you still care about this?"
"I don't care about this, they are all my juniors, I started as a child star, and now I still have the best supporting actress. ”
"If you choose me, it will be me who is embarrassed, just like Sissi back then. Don't you think so, baby Sissi?"
Shu Chang's arrogant look is definitely something he learned from Liu Yifei , Lin Nan guaranteed with his head!
"Yes."
Liu Yifei moved Shu Chang's face and said with a smile, and the two started to fight again.
"Okay, as long as you are happy."
Lin Nan shook his head and sat aside to watch the battle.
