Post-shadow Development Plan

Especially in Japan, "Goblin Slayer" won the weekly box office champion from the first week it was released, and according to the current situation, it is estimated that Japan's weekly box office champion will not change for a long time.

You must know that the box office curve of Japanese movies is completely different from the box office curve that quickly fell after the outbreak in North America.

Perhaps it is strange to describe the box office as stretching and long.However, based on historical experience alone, when a super popular movie appears in the Japanese movie market, it is very likely that it will be loved by Japanese audiences for a long time, even for several months.

Of course, there are two other reasons why "Goblin Slayer" has such a good performance in Japan. One is the popularity of Japanese-directed films in North America, and the other is that Lin Bao, the distributor, role in it.

You know, the film market in Asia is completely different from that in North America.

Due to anti-monopoly policies in North America, the Big Seven, as Hollywood giants, cannot participate in or control theaters in any form.

But Asia is different. As a Japanese film distribution and production giant, Lin Bao owns many theaters.Relying on the means of exclusive screening, the screening rate of "Goblin Slayer" in Japan has always been maintained at a very high level.

The benefits of this are obvious. Most of the audience who enter the movie theaters owned by Lin Bao will choose to watch "Goblin Slayer". Relatively unpopular movie.

But this kind of audience is completely a minority, and it can't have a decisive impact on "Brother Kill"'s continued dominance of the rankings.

"The current results of "Goblin Slayer" are very good, and the box office in Japan should exceed 100 billion yen. Boy, you are doing very well."

For the praise of Longgu's success, Qiye's heart did not fluctuate.

In view of what the old man and his son-in-law did at the "Brother Killing" celebration dinner, Qiye didn't think that he could forgive him with just a few compliments.

"According to Jiufeng's request, this is Lin Bao's list of the first remuneration that needs to be paid to [Erque Studio] after the release of "Brother Killing". You can take a look at it yourself."

Long Gu Nengcheng didn't want to talk nonsense with this guy who put on a bad face, so he signaled his secretary to take out the things and hand them over to Qiye.

Qiye flipped through it, and there were various amounts of money listed on the list, including his own final payment as the director's remuneration, and bonuses given because of the movie's popularity, and so on.

"Subaru, give this item to our family accountant, and ask him to check the amount against our previous agreement before showing it to me."

After roughly browsing, Nanaya handed this item to Ikeda Subaru who followed him.

The money involved in this is not a small amount, and Qiye will not just accept all the orders just because he has friendship with Ziyuan or Ryugu's family. In that case, Qiye Kiryu would be the biggest fool in the world.

Friendship is friendship, and business is business. If you mix the two together, you will end up with neither friendship nor business.

"If you can become an old man, you didn't come to me today just to send me a report, did you?"

Qiye held his chin and looked at Longgu Nengcheng. He was a little curious about the purpose of the other party's coming here today.

Long Gu Nengcheng pondered for a while, then he slowly said: "Well, about the budget proposal for the sequel of "Kingdom of the Sky"..."

"Is there any problem with the budget?" Qiye put away her expression, showing a businesslike attitude.

At this time, he was no longer a junior of Longgu Nengcheng, but the object of business negotiations.

"Does my previous budget proposal still feel unacceptable to Lin Bao?"

Qiye frowned slightly, that was the last line he could accept.Could it be that Lin Bao's board of directors is not even willing to pass this budget?

According to the latest budget allocation plan submitted by Seven Nights, [Er Que Studio] will work with Lin Bao on production, and the studio will get 20% of the film's box office and offline DVD share.

Ordinary Japanese directors would never dare to propose such a plan. After all, the environment in the Japanese film and television industry is dominated by capitalists, and producers are just tools to produce works.

However, Qiye doesn't think there is anything excessive about his plan. After all, he can be regarded as a world-class director, so this share requirement is not excessive at all.

It's just that Lin Bao's board of directors didn't seem to think so. They killed 10% of the share and refused to let go, and they also asked the studio to bear 60% of the production costs.

If it weren't for Qiye's director's remuneration being too high, it wouldn't be worthwhile to put it in the production cost. Qiye estimated that Lin Bao probably didn't even want to give the share, and directly fixed the remuneration.

If it wasn't for Mr. Cheng Cheng to reconcile and let the two sides slowly come to an agreement, it is estimated that Qiye may directly talk to Lin Bao and collapse.

But what the old man can do is limited after all, and he is also the chairman of Lin Bao, so he must be sitting on the side of his company, and it is impossible to unconditionally favor him just because he has friendship with Qiye.

"Ahem, anyway, the board of directors has generally agreed on the budget."

There was a trace of fatigue in Longgu Nengcheng's words, he hadn't followed a project like this for a long time.The several back and forth negotiations involved too much energy for Neng Cheng, who was already old, and he obviously felt that he was a little powerless.The two sides can quickly finalize the cooperation matters, which is the most hopeful thing at present.

At this time, Longgu Nengcheng finally had a feeling from the bottom of his heart that he was really old.

【Perhaps it's time for me to retire and give the seat to Ellie and Kiritsugu. 】

Qiye, who was sitting across from Nengcheng, didn't know what the old man was really thinking, and all his attention was focused on what the other party said.

"approximately?"

This word made Qiye's complexion serious, and he pretended to be deep and asked: "Tell me, do you have any additional conditions? Don't tell me about the gambling agreement."

If it was two years ago when Qiye was poor and white, he might have agreed to the gambling agreement.But now he may be shameless when he says that he is famous, but he is no longer that poor boy who came out of the valley.

"The cost is not a big problem. It's mainly about the post-production share." Nengcheng paused for a few seconds and said, "20% of the box office and post-production offline DVD share can be given to you, but it's just a share. Other peripheral income and role authorization of "Jingjing", all of which belong to Lin Bao."

"You want copyright?"

Qiye's face darkened.

Back then, Qiye had drawn Ilya into the studio with her own plan to shape the world view of Xingyue, in order to ensure that the studio could own the integrity of the copyright of the work.

"It's copyright income." Nengcheng said, "I know you have plans to let the characters in "Empty Realm" appear in your other works to increase popularity, so the copyright of the characters still belongs to the studio, but the income needs to be handed over to the studio. us."

"If the copyright of the character can't generate benefits in your hands, what's the difference from giving the copyright away?" Qiye snorted, "And how do you, Lin Bao, plan to get over this matter?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Neng Cheng's words showed a hint of irrefutable, "Don't forget, Ilya occupies the majority of the studio's shares, and as her guardian, I have the right to replace her Make a decision. I will sign a copyright agreement on "Empty Realm", which will clearly state that the studio will transfer other income from the copyright to Lin Baolai in exchange for 20% of the box office and later offline DVDs."

Seeing Qiye's complexion getting worse and worse, Nengcheng couldn't help reminding him.

"Boy, I know you are very unhappy, but this is Japan after all, not the United States. In the Japanese film circle, no one can refuse Lin Bao. I believe you should be very clear."
