Chapter 210 Publishers

When Fan Zhe took the crew of "Hell Apartment" to several locations to shoot shots, Ye Jiayi also received news from 'Dimension Japan'.

Li Zerui, the person in charge of 'Dimension Japan', submitted a new report, in which he wrote that 'Dimension Japan' will have a chance to earn 6000 yuan in Japan this year through the operation of its own cultural works. million RMB.

Among them, the big head, of course, comes from the animation "Amber Sword".

Originally, Li Zerui expected the sales of discs to exceed seven or eight thousand, or even tens of thousands, and he was already very satisfied.Under the general environment of the sluggish disc market in Japan, being able to obtain such talents is enough to be regarded as the best in the near future.

However, the stamina of "Amber Sword" is still beyond imagination.

Up to now, after the release of the third volume, the disc sales of "The Sword of Amber" have reached [-].

This is the result that can enter the top [-] in the history list of Japanese animation.

Moreover, so far, the rise of the animation work "Amber Sword" has not stopped.According to the trend of animation playback, two more CDs will be released in a month or two later.Judging from the current situation, it is very hopeful to hit the sales of more than [-] yuan and rank with works of the level of "Sword Art Online" and "Fullmetal Alchemist".

So far, Li Zerui has naturally raised the profit that "Dimension Japan" can reap this year further upward.

Of course, not all of the 6000 to [-] million yuan in revenue he estimated came from "Amber". Although the work "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" was published last year, by this time of this year, it can still bring certain profits through various operating methods.

Excellent works will always have a long life.

After seeing such news, Ye Jiayi's mood naturally became better.

With such a good mood, she brought a negotiating team of about five or six people to a film and television company in Shenghai.

The name of this company is called 'Lotus Leaf Films'. Liu Jinghe, the leading actress in the movie "Hell Apartment", is from this company.

An executive of 'Lotus Leaf Films' is a classmate of Fan Zhe's executive training class at Shenghai Drama Academy.The reason why Dimension Entertainment chose Liu Jinghe was that other than being recommended by others and that Liu Jinghe met Fan Zhe's requirements, there was another more important consideration: 'Lotus Films' is a company with film distribution qualifications and also has A film and television company with relevant capabilities.

This is what Dimension Entertainment values ​​more.

Dimension Entertainment itself lacks channels for film distribution, and they also lack the corresponding qualifications. After the film is finished, it still has to be handed over to other companies for distribution.

'Lotus Leaf Films' is an established partner. If nothing else happens, they will be in charge of the film's distribution after the filming and production of "Hell Apartment" is completed.

And today, Ye Jiayi came here to discuss specific cooperation rules.

'Lotus Leaf Pictures' still attaches great importance to this cooperation.

Several executives were downstairs together, as if queuing up to greet them.

After going upstairs, sitting in the conference hall, sitting in front of Ye Jiayi, is a woman named Xu Ziting, who looks about 35 years old. She is also Fan Zhe's classmate and the president of 'Lotus Leaf Films'. manager.

"We have formulated a guaranteed release strategy, Mr. Ye, you can take a look at it, the guaranteed bottom line is 7000 million RMB..."

Guaranteed issuance is a very popular distribution method in China in the past few years.

Set a guaranteed bottom line. If the box office is lower than this guaranteed bottom line, then the film producer, that is, Dimension Entertainment, will get a share based on this guaranteed bottom line.For example, if the guaranteed bottom line is 7000 million yuan, if the final box office is less than 7000 million yuan, then Dimension Entertainment will be divided according to 7000 million yuan, and the publisher will definitely lose some.

And if it exceeds 7000 million, the issuer will get a more generous share of the excess.

Generally speaking, some producers are more willing to accept the method of guaranteed share, so that the risk will be shared too much.

For example, if Ye Jiayi chooses to accept the guaranteed share of 7000 million yuan, it means that "Hell Apartment" produced by Dimension Entertainment is destined to make a steady profit.Calculated according to the general share ratio, if the share is 7000 million, Dimension Entertainment will probably be able to recover more than 2000 million.

This means that "Hell Apartment" can recover its cost and make a small profit of several million.

And once the box office is higher than 7000 million, although the proportion of the higher part will drop a lot, Dimension Entertainment can still make some money.

Xu Ziting thinks that the condition she offered is relatively generous.

Although Dimension Entertainment has not produced an independent film before, their technical ability is undoubtedly strong, and they have experience in serial dramas such as "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", and the heroine in the film is still the main promoter of their own. of a girl.

Looking at it all together, she feels that it is not impossible to issue a guaranteed release for 'Dimension Entertainment'.

Even if it is a loss, it shouldn't be too much.The important thing is that the animations and TV series produced by 'Dimension Entertainment' have never failed.If this film is a hit at the box office, it will be released with a guarantee, and their "Lotus Leaf Films" will make a lot of money.

However, she felt that the conditions were very good, but when she heard Ye Jiayi's ears, she felt that it was still unreliable.

Ye Jiayi said with a smile: "We can accept the guaranteed release, but the guaranteed bottom line, we hope to set it at [-] million."

"Impossible!" Xu Ziting directly refused.

The guaranteed share of 7000 million means that no matter what the final score of "Hell Apartment" is, at least [-] to [-] million will be distributed.In case the movie hits the street, then the 'Lotus Leaf Films' will be miserable.

With an investment of only 2000 million, a horror film with a limited audience, a weak cast, and no charismatic stars, Dimension Entertainment challenged the big screen for the first time, and director Fan Zhe was making a movie for the first time...

These are all the reasons why Xu Ziting is not optimistic about "Hell Apartment".All the factors combined made it impossible for her to agree to a guaranteed share of [-] million.

Ye Jiayi also knew Xu Ziting's refusal.

Two hundred million is indeed a bit of a lion's mouth, and she never thought that Xu Ziting would agree.

But it doesn't matter, this is not her purpose in itself.

"Then let's talk about a normal release, no guarantee."

"..." Xu Ziting said, "Your company is very confident."

Ye Jiayi smiled calmly: "We have always been very confident in our works."
