Film production is the market with the most exaggerated input-output ratio.
Often small-budget comedies can earn hundreds of millions, or even billions, at the box office.
On the contrary, some big and well-produced action movies invested hundreds of millions of dollars, but they lost their fortunes.
If the investment of a film exceeds [-] million, it is already on the verge of danger.
Because the box office is about three times the actual investment in order to pay back!
in other words.
"Chasing the Dragon" invested 6 million yuan, so the box office must be at least [-] million yuan to pay back!
After all, the total box office revenue does not directly fall into the producer.
5% of the film development fund should be deducted; 3.3% of business tax; 50-60% of the theater chain, and the rest are the producers, investors, and distributors.
In other words, theaters are where the biggest profits from movies are eaten.
However, this is not what Jiangbei considers.
"Mr. Jiang, you can see from this that Director Jing attaches great importance to this movie." He Han looked puzzled, "We invited Hua Tsai for the role of Lei Luo, and his salary took up most of it."
"So...the budget we can offer is not much, I hope Mr. Jiang can understand, we are willing to give you 300 million as a salary for this movie!"
300 million!
Compared to Uncle Ge's 500 million for starring in "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Bei's salary is neither too much nor too little.
It can be seen that Wang Jing really came here with sincerity.
Jiang Bei thought about it carefully, but said nothing.
The congratulatory letter was a little nervous: "Mr. Jiang, this is the highest price we can offer. You are a friend of Brother Fa and Sister Jialing, and you are also a friend of Brother Jing."
Hong Kong people value loyalty and are well-known.
Naturally, Jiang Bei couldn't cheat, besides, he was just a young actor.
but...
"Well, Manager He, I don't want a paycheck."
Congratulatory letter:?
........................
Ps: New book old man, five changes every day, rain or shine, ask for flowers, comments, and rewards~)
.........................
Chapter 24, VAM agreement, 10% share of the box office!
"Mr. Jiang, you are joking."
He Han has been in the industry for many years, and he starred in a commercial film with 0 pay?
There really are!Not without!
But... It wasn't because he had a good relationship with the director and acted in friendship, or else he had to pay back the favor he owed.
The entertainment industry is very particular about connections, and in the subtitle special thanks column, you can often see familiar faces.
Moreover, based on He Han's experience.
Once the National Day "Let the Bullets Fly" is released, the net worth of the leading actor Jiang Bei will rise, let alone 300 million?The popular fried chicken has 3000 million people to invite!
Of course, the premise is that Jiangbei's eyes are all about money, not word of mouth, and it would be perfect to attract a wave of gold.
But... obviously Jiangbei is not.
Jiang Bei smiled and took a sip of coconut water: "I want to sign a VAM sharing agreement with Director Jing."
He Han was shocked again!
A rookie is debuting and dares to sign a VAM contract without an agency? !
This...so confident in my acting skills? !
But making a movie is not a play!
VAM contracts are very common in the entertainment industry, there are often VAM agreements between companies and artists.
"Mr. Jiang, what do you mean?"
"I am willing to star in "Chasing the Dragon" with zero pay to ensure the reorganization of the crew's funds, but I have a condition. If the box office is less than 0 million, I will not pay a cent; but if the box office is between 6 and 6 billion, I will deduct the film cost. Afterwards, the box office dividends..."
"How many?!"
He Han is a little excited!
Jiang Bei stretched out five fingers: "5%! But if the box office is between 10 billion and 15 billion, I want 10% of the box office dividend!"
hiss...
5% is not much at all!
You know, this is 5% after deducting the cost of the movie!
The investment in "Chasing the Dragon" is nearly 2 million, so the box office will be at least 6 million, and the dividend that Jiangbei wants is between 6-10 million, which is 4 million.
If: the box office is 10 billion, 10 billion-6=4 million!
What is 4% of 5 million? 2000!
This price is already slightly lower than Andy Lau, who was paid 2800 million for his role in "Chasing the Dragon"!Do not enjoy pay dividends!
可如果票房是15亿，15-6=9亿，此时江北的票房分红10%，也就是...9000万！
He Han thought carefully.
The conditions offered by Jiangbei were not excessive at all.
If the salary is less than 6 million, it means that Jiangbei doesn't get a penny.
But once it exceeds 6 million... Just kidding, who wouldn't be happy if movies make money?Everyone is happy, and the happiest are the investors and producers.
Jiang Bei was giving "Chasing the Dragon" the bottom line.
To be precise, Jiangbei will bet again, betting that "Chasing the Dragon" will explode!
There are many factors to consider in this. Is the producer high-quality?Who is the investor?Theater schedule?Capital Structure?Most importantly, who is the director? !
Wang Jing of the king of bad movies!
Before Chasing the Dragon, Wang Jing only made commercial films, which is different from a lot of directors who sell emotions and engage in literature and art.
Wong Jing only has one purpose in making movies, to make money!
This caused Wang Jing to have a bad reputation, but few people knew that he rarely made investors lose money! ! !
Unlike Jiang Wen, a big bastard in the Beijing circle, before "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen's movies all lost money and were even taken off the shelves.
But this "Chasing the Dragon" is one of Wang Jing's few films that is well-known, standing up, and earning money!
"Mr. Jiang, have you thought it through?"
He Han is just Wang Jing's assistant and manager, responsible for spreading the word.
Jiang Bei nodded.
"Mr. Jiang, wait a moment. I can't decide this matter. I need to call Brother Jing."
After half an hour.
He Han looked happy: "Mr. Jiang, Brother Jing agreed! We will finalize the date and contract details."
Specifically to sign the contract, it is estimated that he will go to Xiangjiang.
In fact, it is not a loss or a loss, but each takes what it needs.
"Mr. Jiang, "Chasing the Dragon" is expected to take 4-6 months to shoot, and you may need to cooperate with the film's announcement in the later stage; your box office dividends will have to wait until the film is released...Is this okay?"
"No."
Others are trivial matters, which are all within Jiangbei's acceptance range.
"Okay, during the filming period, your basic necessities of life in the crew will be borne by the crew." The more the congratulatory letter looks at Jiangbei, the more pleasing it is to his eyes, "Mr. Jiang, how do you think I've booked tomorrow's air ticket? The Kowloon Walled City has been built, and you have been confirmed as the leading actor. It’s also a mission accomplished.”
The two discussed the time and booked the air ticket.
Shaking hands with He Han, the two went back separately, and Jiang Bei also had to pack some clothes.
Jiang Bei immediately sent a text message back to Brother Fa.
After all, Brother Fa helped a lot to get the role of Lai Hao.
Send brother vx back in seconds.
"Congratulations, I have long thought that you are the best candidate for Laihao, and I will wait for you tomorrow in Kowloon."
Jiang Bei suddenly thought, is it time to buy a house?
Damn it, get this idea out of your mind quickly, 60 is just a thought, not to mention Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, or Hengdian, at most 60 is a down payment.
If the box office of "Chasing the Dragon" can exceed 10 billion, then... maybe you can really buy a house!
Back to the rental house.
Obviously, the door was opened.
Inside the house, Reba was helping Jiang Bei to fold clothes, tidying up and chattering.
"Stinky pig, don't wash your clothes, you slob!"
"Hey, I don't know if he has eaten, how about having dinner at night?"
"Forget it, I don't want him to drink."
Jiang Bei leaned against the door, speechless.
Reba had the key to Jiangbei's room, and she called it: help him wash clothes.
In return, Jiang Bei always secretly gave her money.
Such a considerate and good sister, who can refuse?
Who can refuse a good sister who is considerate and considerate?
A good and considerate sister, no one can refuse, right?
"Cough cough..."
"Ah! (Д)" Didn't realize that Jiang Bei had come back, Reba frightened a Ju Ling, patted her big chest, "Scared to death, walking without making a sound, disgusting."
"For dinner tonight, let's go to Tianhai Hotel! Let's do it!"
"It's so expensive. We're on the rooftop with the breeze blowing. Isn't it good to eat crayfish? Brother Bo has a new show, and Brother Jing has to go to the show."
Only then did Jiang Bei find out that Brother Bo had joined the team.
"Alright, let's have some dinner at night, and then hehehe?"
Reba blushed, and spat at Jiangbei: "Hey, you big-headed ghost."
Viewed from the side, Reba is really breathtakingly beautiful, with the clavicle of a foreign girl, her waist is so thin that she can hold it with one hand, her whole body is so white that it shines, yyds~
"Reba, I'm going to Xiangjiang tomorrow."
"Ah? Why are you going to Xiangjiang?"
"Filming."
Reba suddenly felt a little bit sad, with tears in her eyes. She can't hinder Jiangbei's better development, can she?
In the evening, the two drank beer on the rooftop.
"Brother Bei, do you know? I heard that Director Jiang's newcomer this time was selected from our team."
"Oh."
"Oh my god, (￣▽￣)~*, I'm so lucky, I'm going to be the leading role right now!"
"Oh."
"That's right! Someone in Douyin filmed Director Jiang's set footage, why do I feel... the leading role looks like you."
"Oh."
