Big players in the film and television world

Chapter 252 Suning's Film Era

Seeing the big bosses from the entertainment industry gradually appearing in the conference room, Suning felt a little bit stuck.

The meeting was held in the conference room of Z Movie Building, led by the boss of Z Movie, the elder Wang was busy with China Star's listing and was absent, so his younger brother Wang Lao Er attended.

There is no doubt about Z Movie's status in the movie circle of h country, and the all-star lineup of "The Great Cause of a Country" is a testament to its energy.

Investment in the second installment of "Light and Darkness" therefore became extremely complicated.

Because the overseas box office of the first film was too high, the second film had to accept investment from all parties. To put it bluntly, the big bosses from all parties divided the cake. After all, China Star is just a newly emerging entertainment organization, and its influence is in the entertainment industry. Not strong enough to swallow such a big piece of cake in one go.

The first piece of cake has been divided up by Huaxing and Suning, and the second piece, they can't eat it anymore, and it's hard to eat it.

After all, no one would have thought that "Light and Darkness" would be a big hit at the overseas box office. Suning didn't want the domestic box office split as long as it was copyrighted. It was originally to make Da Lao Wang happy, because the domestic box office was 2 million yuan and the overseas box office was more than [-] million knives. The box office of "Light and Darkness" is almost profitable, but the offline and peripheral derivatives of "Light and Darkness" are even higher than the box office. It has also begun to win over Suning.

This is also the norm in the film industry. Everyone knows that the box office of the second part of this movie is expected to reach [-] million U.S. dollars, not counting peripheral derivatives. If the copyright is not firmly held by Suning, Suning's dominant position will be affected. Some influences, stuffing a little actor will be too much trouble.

"The investment I need for this movie is [-] million red coins." When talking about the funding for this movie, Suning said.

Everyone present nodded, without any objection.

The global box office of the first film of "Light and Darkness" is more than 3 million dollars worth of investment. They even think that the investment of [-] million dollars may be a little bit less. After all, according to Suning, the second film will be the first in the mainland A special effects blockbuster.

Regarding the investment share and the box office share, it is not so simple and easy to negotiate. Fortunately, the big investors invested in this movie for their theaters.

After all, for a movie, the box office share is not important, the income brought to the theater is the most important.

Popcorn, snacks, and drinks are where theaters make the most money. "Light and Darkness 2" is just a popular product.

This is business.

Suning didn't know what they were thinking, but he also knew that he couldn't refuse. It was taboo to eat alone in business, and these entertainment bigwigs also wanted to stimulate the film market through Suning's movie.

The outcome of the meeting was beneficial. According to the actual division of investment shares and box office shares, Suning was the only one. He did not invest, but only wanted 10% of the box office share of the mainland movie box office. He did not want to share the overseas box office share, and only took all the peripheral derivatives. income.

This is also the place where Suning makes the most money. If it were an ordinary investor, they would definitely reject it, but those bigwigs are all rich, and they only invest in movies for the theater, so they readily agreed.

Suning had already finished writing the script back then, and the next step was to review the film and prepare for the casting and crew.

In addition to casting, other things were done on behalf of others, which also made Suning much more relaxed.

As for the fact that director Noah of Feina wanted to buy the copyright of his adaptation of "Light and Darkness", Suning was a little embarrassed. Even if it was completely changed, the general movies of country M remained unchanged, and Batman movies still existed.

The main line of "Light and Darkness" is to imitate the second part of the Batman movie "The Dark Knight". Of course, Suning must not be able to say this. It authorized it and asked for 7% of the movie's box office and peripheral revenue.

Feina also agreed.

When leaving the Z movie building, Su Ning accidentally ran into Zhang Longtu, but Suning smiled dismissively, bumped into Zhang Longtu on purpose and left.

Zhang Longtu dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Even the most bloody man would not dare to take action against Suning. That would be to risk death.

Not to mention that Suning has now replaced him.

This also made Zhang Longtu completely afraid to mess with Suning. The domestic box office breaking [-] billion and the overseas box office breaking [-] million are two different concepts. Capital is for profit. Whoever can make money will be favored by it. Hong, has a very good friendship with the officials of Shanghai, if you don't praise him, who will you praise?
When he came to film, he also had something to ask for.

If he completely offended Suning, there would be no way for him to survive.

In a happy mood, Suning drove the Lamborghini to the Sujiaban building, walked into his trainer, and started exercising.

Now his body is not considered exceptionally talented, if he does not practice for seven days, his physical fitness will decline.

After the practice, Suning wiped off his sweat, made a cup of protein powder and drank it.

In order to look good on camera, he must gain muscle, otherwise the Night War God's armor will look ugly.

After drinking the protein powder, Suning went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After washing, there is a change of clothes in the closet in the training room. After changing clothes, Suning puts the dirty clothes in the washing machine and hangs them up.

Listening to the sound of training from the first floor, Suning smiled with satisfaction.

"After filming this movie, I think I should cultivate for a year, but that's not me!"

Suning sighed in his heart, no matter how many plans he had, it would be all in vain.

The tasks of the system can be completed with certainty in 08.

Suning owns all the copyrights of the movie "Light and Darkness". In addition to the overseas box office, Phenom's peripheral derivative contracts have been signed. Apart from the huge income in the first year, a large sum of money is recorded every year.

Especially the tarot cards with 24 English letters, which can be played and collected, as well as figures, etc., the sales volume should be very good.

On the other side, Gu Ge's company experts were naturally so regretful that their intestines turned green. They never expected that the movie "Light and Darkness" would become a global hit. In order to make Gu Ge make money for the company, they directly gave up making Gu Ge a film star. The opportunity to be a first-tier superstar, but Gu Ge is very open-minded. It is not his, and he can't get it even if he wants to. Of course, there is a sense of bitterness.

Yuan Long, a close buddy of Guge University, felt wronged for Guge. He said angrily to Guge: "The company has gone too far. In order to make more money, it directly blocked your chance to become a first-line superstar."

What can Gu Ge say, there is still a three-year contract with the company, so he can only smile wryly.

On the eve of the casting, in a hotel in Yanjing, Suning was accidentally surrounded by reporters and accepted an interview.

"Director Su, how do you feel about some directors evaluating your film as a commercial film instead of a classic film? Moreover, what is the evaluation of the director's quality?"

Facing the reporter's question, Suning replied skillfully: "It's just jealousy. I think the director is good or bad, you have to ask the audience. Movies with high tunes naturally have their existence value. This cannot be denied. For example, "Shock's "Redemption", however, classic movies are often appreciated by both refined and popular, even if there is only one era that belongs to it."

After answering, Suning ignored the group of reporters and just looked at them. The reporters automatically moved out of the way, and the crowd seemed to be dividing water.

"Director Su, what do you think of the title of the number one director in the Mainland?"

A reporter still did not give up and continued to ask questions.

As Suning walked, he proudly said: "My time has come."

This sentence made the reporters extremely satisfied, and they all prepared to use this sentence as the headline of the news.

Suning's commercial value today is enormous.
