The buyout is a secret agreement between Qin Tian and them. It is not a buyout by Disney Pictures at all. Naturally, it is impossible to pay according to the tax on the US side.In many offshore companies, there are only annual management fees and a small amount of business tax, which is very low.It doesn’t matter if the box office is not high, but if it is high, there will be a big price difference between coming and going.

At the same time, if it is sold out, the agreement will naturally change.For the same release, the cut will be reduced from the original 45% to 27%, the lowest among giants. What Qin Tian talked about with them is 50% for 40 million, and [-]% for [-] million.

The reason for this is that the offshore company is indeed a subsidiary of Disney, and 5% of Qin Tian's income will be deducted later as tax. In fact, they may not have paid so much.

Cooperating with brothers is a cross-border cooperation, there is no way to operate, the profit sharing must be done according to the rules, and finally you have to pay taxes according to the tax law of the United States... Buying out is different, you can legally avoid taxes, and the small amount has no impact big.If it is a global box office of [-] million or [-] million US dollars, the tax gap is too big, at least tens of millions of dollars.

The reason why Gene said this is because the contract has not been signed yet. If Qin Tian has no confidence, he can naturally press down more. For example, there is no difference between less than 45 million and more than 5 million, and they are all calculated as 1000%. Like, don't look at the difference of 2000%, the round trip may be more than [-] to [-] million US dollars.

After all, Qin Tian’s highest booking was more than 36 million US dollars, with a [-]% share. Many of them did not approve of this at the beginning. After all, including the mainland, it may exceed [-] million or even [-] million US dollars. Such a box office There may not be a few films a year, and a Chinese film is unlikely.

After watching the finished film today, Gene has a premonition that it is not impossible to exceed [-] million. If this is the case, Qin Tian will make a lot of money this time.That's why I wanted to try to see if I could fool around. Unfortunately, Qin Tian is not stupid, so there is nothing to play.

At this time, Wang Zhongjun, together with Feng Dapao, younger brother Wang Zhongshi, and CEO Ye Ning, were also thinking about whether to choose to sell out or share. 2000 million US dollars in publicity fees, plus 45% commission, 5000 million US dollars sold out, it means that their brothers have to share 7000 million US dollars to not lose money.

That is to say, it is necessary to ensure a box office of more than 1.3 million US dollars in regions other than Greater China.This is actually really difficult, at least that's how they feel now, after all, Gene's performance today is a bit too calm, and he doesn't want to be very optimistic about the appearance of this film.

"Waiting for an answer over there now, 2000 million US dollars, plus the box office share that may take more than half a year to get, which one do you think is more cost-effective?" Wang Zhongjun asked the three of them directly.

how to say?Now because I am running theaters, my brother is actually a little short of money. Many projects have been left idle due to funding problems, or even taken away by others, such as Monster Hunt. 5000 million U.S. dollars, or 3.3 million yuan, can almost allow them to pull out two super-A productions with an investment of more than [-] million.

Chapter 0044 Copyright battle!

The production cycle of Chinese-language films is notoriously short. If you get the money now, you can almost produce two super-A productions in half a year after the payment is settled in half a year.At that time, it may not be impossible to earn more, so Wang Zhongjun has to consider, unless he can be sure that the overseas box office of Xunlongjue can exceed 1.6 million US dollars, otherwise it is better to take the money now.

Everyone knows what Wang Zhongjun is thinking about, especially since they plan to deploy small screens, the financial pressure is huge.If you choose to pump water, the future is uncertain, and now you have to spend 1.3 million yuan, which is indeed a bit unsafe.

Ye Ning naturally thought of this, so he looked at the related projects in hand, and gave professional advice on this aspect. After watching for a while, he said directly: "The filming of Lao Paoer starring Director Feng will start filming at the end of this year. There is also Fury, this is a big production, and it is about to be released now, and we have to pay for the promotion fee. Considering that we plan to spend [-] to [-] million to make two standard TV series, the financial pressure is still a bit big."

Fury is a western film invested by the brothers and Sony Pictures, and it is also an experiment for them to try to go out.It was shot at the end of last year, mainly because Qin Tian stimulated him and planned to try it out.However, the investment and publicity fees of this movie put a lot of pressure on the brothers. The production cost alone exceeded 7000 million US dollars. The repayment of up to one and a half years puts them under a lot of pressure.

Especially now that it is only two months away from the release, and the publicity investment is about to start. Although Fury is not a Class A production (Hollywood standards), the global publicity cannot be too low. Brothers need to get at least [-] million When the RMB comes out, there is a lot of pressure.

Although Lao Paoer is not a movie directed by Feng Dapao, he starred in it. Moreover, this movie is a bit unpopular and the investment is large, so not many people are willing to join the group. The brothers are responsible for more than [-]% of the investment.After all, Feng Dapao is the most special one among the brothers. Sometimes even if he loses money, Wang Zhongjun will support him. This is the real pillar of the brothers.

"In this case, let's choose to sell out. I have been studying the difference between our old version and the new version edited by Qin Tian for the past two days, and I have gained a lot. Old Paoer, to be honest, I have no idea , maybe it’s 1942 again, but the filming period of this film is not too long, I can direct a commercial film after filming, counting the time, the second part of Dragon Hunting can be done. I am sure.”

After hearing what Feng Dapao said, Wang Zhongjun began to think seriously.For martial arts, Feng Dapao is really not suitable. Modern cities, especially those involving his era, are indeed very powerful. After all, they are of the same age and they are old Beijing, so Wang Zhongjun thinks it would be good for Feng Dapao to make the second part, but Wang Zhongjun He quickly rejected the Dragon Hunting Jue. This show was really a success. It's not good to shoot too fast, and we have to wait.

"It's possible. But it's not the ghost blowing the lights. After the possible success of "Xunlong Jue", especially after Qin Tian said that it can be screened globally, I have always asked people to research this theme. I found that the theme of this theme The popularity of IP is very high. At the same time, it is not only the book Ghost Chuideng that is very popular, but also the book called Tomb Raiders Notes.

Originally, I wanted to buy the copyright, but Huanrui took the lead and planned to start filming at the end of this year. I guess I wanted to take advantage of the popularity of our "Xunlongjue" to get some votes.But they didn't buy the movie version.But... the copyright of the TV series Ghost Blowing the Lantern was bought by Yang Mi's studio, and it was exclusive.This is also the reason why we denied that the first drama was filming ghosts and blowing lights. "

After hearing this, Ye Ning and the others were also very upset.When the stars were so successful and they wanted to enter the small screen field, it was tragically discovered that the copyright of the TV series Ghost Chuideng was bought by Yang Mi Studio, and it was bought out at a high price.It seems that Qin Tian really had his eye on Gui Chudeng a long time ago.But this also shows that Qin Tian is really optimistic about this theme, which has great potential.

"Tomb Raiders' Notes? That's fine. I'll do some research. If I can, I'll try to create a new series. Now that the subject of Tomb Raiders is so popular, I'd like to buy out the copyright first. The news of the global joint screening of "Xunlong Jue" is probably spread all over the world. Anyone with a heart will follow behind to pick up cheap ones.”

Feng Dapao's words were not nonsense. Ever since Qin Tian accepted Xunlongjue, especially after the news that Xunlongjue was going to be screened globally, many people took action one after another.For example, China Film and LeTV invested in the nine-story demon tower, which disgusts the brothers, because they are all ghosts blowing lights, and the characters in it all have the same name settings, and they are simply following behind to pick up cheap.

But the copyright was not bought out, only the Xunlong Jue was bought, so others can naturally obtain the same rights at a high price.Then there are people like Huanrui, who can’t buy Ghost Chuideng anymore, so they can’t afford to buy Gui Chuideng’s Tomb Raider Notes directly. They don’t have much resources for movies, so they just make TV series.Anyway, TV dramas are also super profitable, and there is a star development model, with pearls and jade first, and now many people know how urban dramas should be operated.

So now the copyright left to the brothers is only the movie copyright of Tomb Raiders Notes, and there is still an exclusive opportunity for this.After all, the tomb notes have not been proven here.The author of Ghost Blowing Lantern, Tian Tian Ba ​​Chang, as long as he is not brain-dead, it is impossible to sell off the copyright of the film. If he had known that it would be so popular, he would not have chosen to sell the copyright of the TV series. It can only be Qin Tian who is too stupid up.

Qin Tian naturally didn't know that his brother was planning to get the tomb robbery notes at this time, even if he knew, it didn't matter.It is not difficult to make money in the mainland market, after all, this subject matter is indeed very marketable.But if you want to go international and make a lot of money, it's not that simple.

Regardless of novels, from the perspective of film and television dramas, Ghost Blowing Lantern is really better than Notes on Tomb Raiders, and it is more realistic and flavorful.Notes on Tomb Raiders is a bit of an idol drama, and there is a big difference in the sense of reality and visual impact.This is also the reason why before Qin Tian traveled, whether it was a movie or a TV series, it was basically a ghost blowing a lamp and pressing the tomb robber's notes.

Although many people attribute this to the fact that Tomb Raiders Notes are small fresh meat that will sell rot without acting skills, but in terms of setting, world view, and level, Ghost Blowing Lanterns is really richer and more detailed than Tomb Raiders Notes.Ghost Chuideng still has a heroine at any rate, and she is also arrogant, white and rich.What are the tomb notes?Let alone the dead heroine, there will only be a few men who are passionate about it, and the audience will naturally be limited.

Chapter 0045 Asian Raiders!

Regarding the choice of his brother, Qin Tian was relieved. Although this meant that he would bear the cost of 7000 million US dollars in the middle, Qin Tian was not short of money, but was short of projects.If the box office can break through 60 million U.S. dollars in the end, he can take almost 1.8% of the proceeds, 5000 million U.S. dollars, no matter how he calculates, he can earn more than [-] million U.S. dollars, not to mention his dividends in the [-] million U.S. dollars.

As soon as the agreement was reached, the promotion of Xunlongjue also started. At the same time, because of the exhibition match between Qin Tian and the national football team, Qin Tian is now very famous in Bangzi Country and Island Country. At the same time, both of them are also very interested in the stars. After all, the star effect is beginning to appear in the two places, and Qin Tian also feels that it is about time to close the net, and it is appropriate to release the announcement in conjunction with the promotion of Xunlong Jue.

Don't think that Chinese people don't watch pirated versions or free stuff. In fact, many things that happen in the mainland also happen abroad.Like PSP, PSV, 3DS, etc., whether it is a flash card or a cracking plug-in patch, they are actually made by foreign hackers, including the jailbreak of fruit phones.

To put it bluntly, if they can play games that cost a lot of money without spending money, they also want to pick up cheap games without spending money.At most, the legal supervision system there is very strict, and there are more rules and regulations in terms of intellectual property rights than in China, which is stricter.It doesn't matter if no one sues or prosecutes. Once someone sues, especially if some well-known websites are accused, the problem will become more serious.

In the beginning, it was just folk communication. Everyone knows this. After all, the characteristics of the Internet are sharing and communication.However, after it was spread on some well-known download platform cloud disk video websites without permission, Qin Tian can naturally sue.It would be fine if it was taken off the shelves and stopped disseminating as soon as possible after the prosecution. If not, it would be possible to sue.

Therefore, after Yang Mi's studio and Qin Tian formally filed a lawsuit in this regard, the impact is still great.Relevant website platforms of many island nations and Bangzi nation immediately took them off the shelves and blocked their resources.The website platform, which was not taken seriously at first, was immediately removed from the shelves after receiving the lawyer's letter.

The mainland just happened to be close to the finale, and the island country and the Bangzi country are naturally similar, not to mention that many people only started watching the stars a week ago, and they just watched the most exciting beginning. Arrived, naturally very unhappy.But, they all understand copyright. These websites and platforms are indeed not authorized, so many star fans immediately organized to introduce stars to some big video websites and TV stations.

Foreign TV stations are not domestic. They don't take the audience's petitions seriously. They take this very seriously.So after discovering that the number of petitioners was growing day by day, they also thought about it.Originally, they tried it. After all, where is the influence of quality and reputation, but the price is a bit high, and they are not very willing to introduce it.

In addition to this, there is a very serious problem, that is, there are too many embedded advertisements in the stars.Not to mention those big international brands and luxury brands, these are also tall in Bangzi Country and Island Country.But what the hell are Zhengxin fried chicken and OP mobile phones?This will hurt their national brand a little bit.They may even introduce brands from Huaxia, which they have always been on guard against.

However, when the number of petitioners and suggestions became larger and more than 50 people, these issues were no longer the focus. Some TV stations and video sites began to contact Yang Mi's studio to discuss the introduction.

In fact, they are simply thinking too much. OP mobile phones currently have no ability to break into the two countries, and even Huaxia has not yet been able to stand in the top five.As for Zhengxin Fried Chicken, it is even more difficult, because in terms of food, it is difficult to enter the two countries, and Zhengxin Fried Chicken is actually selling fame, and there is no decisive advantage in taste compared with some fried chicken restaurants in Bangzi Country. Their market is much more mature than that of the mainland, and they have already passed the stage of brand building, and have entered the era of giants competing for hegemony.

This is also the reason why those giants of the same kind did not make a move, and the international giants contributed to the flames.Especially after several major luxury giants on the French side have tasted the sweetness, they even prefer to subsidize Qin Tian's side and want more stars to be released in some regions. This is simply the best advertisement.So Qin Tian's actual income is higher than what the outside world revealed, and sometimes the placement of advertisements is too awesome.

Just like the signing of Ronaldo and Messi by Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it means that Nike and Adidas have to bear a considerable part of the salary transfer fee for the club, because they also have huge potential benefits.

After the negotiation between Xing Xingxing and Xinglongjue, the initial promotional film of "Looking for the Dragon" was also released. Under the operation of Disney Pictures, many regions naturally received the information about the global joint screening of "Looking for the Dragon" on October [-]st, even in the film schedule. , is regarded as the highest foreign language film in the same period.

The publicity in Europe and the United States is naturally dominated by Disney. Qin Tian is now a little famous there, but it is impossible to attract people to enter the venue through publicity, and he does not have such influence and weight.Not many people in Hollywood can do this, let alone him.

So Qin Tian's main propaganda locations are Southeast Asia, Bangzi Country and Island Country.At the same time, because the island country is currently the third highest box office region and has the most complicated relationship with China, it was chosen for the final battle.The first stop is Southeast Asia, which is commonly known as Nanyang.

Although there are Chinese in all countries and regions around the world, and even many countries and regions have Chinatowns or Chinese gathering areas, but when it comes to population size and scale, there are still the largest number of Chinese in Nanyang, and the combined number of several countries can even exceed two. Five million people, you must know that the total number of Chinese outside the Greater China region in the world is just over 500 million.

Therefore, Southeast Asia has always been the natural granary of Chinese-language films. In the past, a tiny place in Xiangjiang could become Oriental Hollywood, which could not escape the support of Southeast Asia. Super local box office.

In the early 90s, there was not even much room for survival of Western films. However, after the local protectionism in Southeast Asian countries, especially after the relationship with the Chinese deteriorated and various suppressions and restrictions were imposed, the connection with Chinese films here has become less and less.

Chapter 0046 The situation is not optimistic!

The so-called protectionism is not only practiced by Southeast Asian countries, but also in Bangzi countries, island countries, and even China. That is the limit on the number of imported movies.This is determined according to the proportion of theater screenings in each region, and its purpose is mainly to support the film and television industry in the country and region.

Like Huaxia, the market is getting bigger now, so there are 25 quotas for a year. At the beginning, there were only ten movies a year.However, in many countries in Southeast Asia, the film and television industry has just started, and local protectionism is very strict, so no more than [-] films can be imported in a year.

Several countries in Southeast Asia, the Philippines and Thailand are still at a certain level, especially Thailand. The film and television entertainment industry has developed well in recent years. There are even some Thai TV series and movies appearing in the mainland of China. This is a proof of their expanding influence.The Chinese-Thai co-productions that have appeared one after another are also a proof.

However, in terms of its own development level, it is very difficult to support the operation of the theater chain. After all, the most important thing in operating a theater chain is the number of moviegoers and the daily flow of people here in the cinema.There are no good movies, and works that are attractive enough are naturally very slow to satisfy the operation of the theater chains, so the bosses of these theater chains have very high requirements for those [-] movies.

Because these fifteen films are likely to be what they really rely on to support their families and make a living.The previous Chinese films or Hong Kong films naturally met their requirements. Those who were successful in Xiangjiang generally had a good box office. After all, the Chinese are the group with the most spending power here in Nanyang. The economy of the entire Southeast Asia.

Naturally, they don’t have such strong financial resources nowadays, and the wealth has begun to diverge. Although the Chinese are also rich, they have changed from the original upper class to a part of today’s, and they alone cannot support the theaters here.

At the same time, Chinese-language films entered the mid-90s, especially at the beginning of the new century, and their standards plummeted.After several serious defeats in a row, the theater giants here naturally chose more secure Hollywood blockbusters.Especially after the Marvel World came out, it has become a money-making weapon in the hands of major theaters.This is also the reason why Disney is talking about this, because major theaters around the world rely on them to provide films, and they have to sell face.

Therefore, the reason why Xunlongjue can become one of the [-] films this year is not because the brothers have the ability and connections, but because Disney's face is so valuable and their publishing ability is so strong.

As for one person's martial arts, that's because there are many people in Xiangjiang who have participated in the investment of the theater chain, plus the relationship and contacts accumulated in the past, it is still possible to operate one or two movies occasionally.After all, the laws of these countries are not perfect, and the regulatory system is not so strict. It is a good place for many people to launder money.
