fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 298

Checking the time, it was 9.30 in the evening. Yang Yu should have not rested at this time, so Zhang Yang simply called him directly.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Yang went straight to the point.

"I've read the script of "Tongtian", and it feels good. Xuanyu can invest, how much do you want?"

In the hotel room over there, Yang Yu was already entangled in investment matters, but now he heard it, and immediately regained his energy.

"How much is Xuan Yu going to vote?"

He tentatively asked.

The movie "Tongtian" was originally expected to cost between 8 million and 10 billion, but in the end, only 8 million was actually used for shooting.

If put in the past, this money is definitely enough to make a good CG movie.

But the light-following is really not thoughtful enough.

With the desolation of Xiao Xianrou, fantasy films are set off.

The salaries of domestic powerful actors have begun to rise, and the salaries of leading actors have greatly exceeded their expectations. Moreover, CG technology is also constantly being updated. The latest technology is not fully mastered internally, and the manpower is not enough, so foreign aid must be hired.

Even because it was the first time to shoot this type of film, many mistakes were made during the shooting, detours were taken, and a lot of money was wasted.

So in the end, after calculation, there is a shortfall of almost 2 million in the whole movie.

In the past, this amount of money could easily be taken out by Chasing Light, but later on, the investment continued, and the new movie failed at the box office. Now we can spend 8 million to shoot "Tongtian", which is all idle funds plus bank mortgage. .

Chasing Light can't get another 2 million yuan out of it, unless it breaks the company's muscles and bones.

Of course, he was not happy about chasing the light. In the end, he tried his best and raised another [-] million investment, but now he was still short of [-] million, and he couldn't get it no matter what.

The other party is either focusing on the shares of Chasing Light, or proposes a movie box office share ratio that Chasing Light cannot accept. These are the top executives of Chasing Light who are unwilling to give up, so there is really no way.

Now that Zhang Yang opened his mouth, it was a solution to his urgent need.

"Currently, the film gap is about 2 million yuan. I don't know if Xuan Yu is willing to pay this money?"

Yang Yu thought for a few seconds, and deliberately said a high price.

He was frightened.

I didn't calculate it clearly before, and it was a lot worse in the end.

Since Zhang Yang is willing to invest, he simply said more, so as to avoid the problem of insufficient funds in the future.

"2 million? Is the investment in CG movies that big?"

Zhang Yang asked softly, his tone was a bit strange, as if he had seen Yang Yu's plan clearly.

Hearing his words, Yang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

【Are you talking too high? 】

After thinking about it, Yang Yu still gritted his teeth and said, "Whether a pure CG movie can achieve a high box office depends on the quality. Only the extra funds are enough to support the follow-up shooting of "Tongtian"."

"Following Light has high hopes for "Tong Tian". You have read the script, and you should know that if the film is made, the quality will definitely not be bad. If you don't believe me, a small part of it has been made so far. If you are interested, you can come and have a look .”

"Oh? Has the footage been made into a film? Then I want to see it!" Zhang Yang said with a smile: "But I have indeed read the script, and the ability to chase the light is there, so investing money is not a big problem."

"It's just that Xuanyu wants to develop. Thousands of families depend on the company for food. Every penny has to be carefully calculated. I can't use the company's money to invest indiscriminately and not see any benefits, right?
I can take the money, but I don’t know what price I’m willing to pay for chasing light? "

Zhang Yang could clearly see Yang Yu's careful thinking.

Don't think that because he is busy filming, he doesn't know the specific situation there.

In the past few days, he has already found someone to check. The gap in "Tongtian" is currently only 2 million, and Yang Yu opened [-] million, just to leave more room.

However, Zhang Yang is not being taken advantage of.

1 million or 2 million is nothing to him, it's all small money.

It's just that there is a price of 2 million for 2 million, and [-] million for [-] million. He will never do business at a loss.

Since Yang Yu dared to say that, it depends on what he is willing to pay.

The other party's position in chasing the light is not low. In the movie "Tiantian", he definitely holds a certain decision-making power.

"cost?"

Yang Yu became silent.

Why can't I get money now with the past achievements of Chasing Light?
It is because the price proposed by others is too high, and Chasing Light is unwilling to pay.

Now that Zhang Yang said the same thing, Yang Yu was very troubled, what should he show to persuade Zhang Yang to invest.

Box office share?shares?or something else?
"what do you want?"

"It's not what I want, but what Chasing Light is willing to pay for?"

Zhang Yang asked softly.

Faced with this problem, Yang Yu was even more troubled.

After all, he is just a director, and he is really not very proficient in business negotiations. Now that Zhang Yang asks this question, he doesn't bother to think about it, and directly answers the answer that Chase Guang's senior management has discussed a long time ago.

"2 million in exchange for 8% of the box office of "Tongtian", based on the domestic animation film box office market situation and past achievements, I believe this movie can get at least 40 billion at the box office after it is released. Xuanyu is now voting 2 [-] million, and the return will be nearly doubled by then, how can this business not lose money?"

Yang Yu's words were full of confidence.

There are few animated films in China, and Chinese people should be more tolerant of animated films.

Coupled with these years, animated films have been accepted by more and more audiences, and it coincides with the current fantasy trend, coupled with the terrifying box office data of the films produced by Xuan Yu, these signs are all on the surface, and the film market is stronger than before. Up a few steps.

"Tongtian" is both animation and fantasy, it can be said that it has both, so Chasing Light is very optimistic about its prospects.

"8%? Too little!" Zhang Yang shook his head again and again: "No one knows how much box office the movie will be before it's released."

"Although your analysis is reasonable, you must be sure that "Tongtian" will earn 40 billion at the box office? There are not many movies that can achieve this box office figure."

Dragon Kingdom has a large population and a well-developed film market, but even so, there are very few films that can earn 40 billion box office relative to the total.

Even if the market is hot now, never forget the '[-]/[-] rule'.

In any group of things, the most important only accounts for a small part of it, about 20%, and the remaining 80%, although it is the majority, is secondary. This is the [-]th law.

In the film industry, 80% of the box office is taken by 20% of the movies, and the remaining 80% of the movies can only take the remaining 20% ​​of the box office.

"Babel" will be the 20%?

Who knows before it's released?

"Then what do you want? Just say it."

Yang Yu was too lazy to think about it.

Negotiation is not something he is good at, so it is better to be more direct.

"As long as you are willing to invest, the box office share can continue to be negotiated. 8% is not a fixed amount. 10%? 20%? You say a number, and I will report it back to the company and let others discuss it. What do you think?"
