Superstars Start with Krypton Gold
Chapter 344: Remuneration
"Xiao Li, let's meet again."
Harry Tiwidi finished playing polo, then retreated from the polo field and returned to the glass room.
Looking at Harry Tweedy holding a helmet and protective gear in his left hand, and a polo stick in his right hand, if it is not known that he is really 52 years old, Li Zi'an may think that he is at most 40 years old, and still has the charm Uncle type man.
"Mr. Harry Tiwidi, see you again." Li Zian got up and shook hands with Harry Tiwidi, and then smiled: "I don't know if Mr. Harry Tiwidi called me today. Is there any good news? Tell me?"
"Your intuition is accurate."
Harry Tiwidi responded with a smile, and after putting down his hand, he gestured to the assistant next to him, and the other person immediately took a step forward and placed a check in Li Zian's body respectfully. before.
saw the blank cheque in front of him, and Li froze for a moment, then looked at Harry Tweedy with some puzzlement.
This cheque was the blank cheque that Li Zi'an had left with Harry Tweedy together with the script the day before, but now it was returned intact by Harry Tweedy, but the other party said it was good news. This made Li Zi'an puzzled now.
"Mr. Harry Tiwidi, are you...?"
Li Zian picked up the blank check on the table and asked with a somewhat puzzled opening.
Harry Tiwidi smiled: "I took this script, but it was paid, and I don't want money."
Hearing the words in front of Harry Tweedy, Li Zi'an was delighted, but before he could reveal them, he heard the latter words.
"Mr. Harry Tiwidi, you... do you want to be divided?"
Li Zi'an is no longer a little white now, and after pondering Harry Tweedy's words a little, he understood the potential meaning of the other party.
"Yes."
Harry Tiwidi responded calmly.
Li Zian heard the words, he lowered his head and pondered.
Harry Tiwidi didn't want to be divided into pieces, which was beyond his expectation, but it was reasonable.
Every international first-line movie star, behind it, symbolizes the unparalleled huge appeal and influence.
If they can be joined in a movie, there will be a fairly intuitive increase in the box office of the movie, and these people, with their huge traffic, in the early stage of the movie, as long as their names are released, there is no need to deliberately promote Marketing, there will be countless media competing to report.
Because of this, these international frontiers have the capital to discuss the conditions with investors.
And some investors, in order to control the cost of early investment, many people are willing to sign share contracts with these international front lines.
Otherwise, the sky-high film rewards, which often cost hundreds of millions of dollars, really put pressure on some movie investors.
Therefore, the international frontline behavior of using the box office to settle the remuneration is a relatively common behavior in the big production film circle.
For the movie "Wrestling, Dad", Li Zi'an's initial investment budget is less than 100 million Chinese dollars, but if you want to invite Harry Tiwidi to join, then this budget will be directly expanded to 200 million.
It can be said that Harry Tweedy's one-person compensation accounted for 50% of the entire film investment.
But even so, Li Zi'an still felt very worthwhile.
Because of Harry Tividi's acting skills, popularity, influence, professional attitude and other factors, he is worth the price.
Originally for Harry Tweedy's compensation budget, Li Zi'an's psychological quotation was very high, because he was well aware of the high value of the film "Wrestling, Dad" if it was done well.
But Li Zi'an didn't expect in advance that Harry Tweedy would ask for a share. The main reason is that Li Zi'an made movies in China, and basically cooperated with the actors of the second and third lines. Never touched.
Li Zian pondered for a moment, he said: "Mr. Harry Tiwidi, how much do you think you want to share at the box office?"
"Director Xiaoli, if it doesn't count my film compensation, what is our investment in this movie?" Harry Tweedy didn't respond, but asked rhetorically.
Li Zian heard the words and said frankly: "If you get rid of the protagonist's remuneration, my estimated investment is about 700 million rupees."
The initial investment of 1 billion rupees by Li Zian included his intention to hire a second-line actor in India as the actor's remuneration. Now that the actor has joined Harry Tweedy, the budget is nearly 3 billion rupees. Naturally, we must exclude it.
"Then Li Dao, what's your expected price for the film?" Harry Tweedy asked again.
"About 1 billion rupees."
Li An answered.
"Well, the price is quite high."
Harry Tiwidi made a more reasonable assessment.
The current international first-line movie star prices generally range from 50 million to 200 million.
There is a huge price range in the middle, which is related to many factors of international movie stars, such as influence, popularity, flow, influence radiation range, ability, acting skills, word-of-mouth and many other factors.
Currently, most of the international movie stars who have been able to get 100 million pieces of compensation internationally are in China.
Because China's current film and television market is unprecedentedly prosperous, major capital giants have entered the market, so the status of China's movie stars naturally rises.
And like movie stars like Harry Tweedy, the range of influence radiation is naturally not comparable to international movie stars in China.
The radiation range of the influence of international movie stars in China is global, and it is extremely popular on all continents. Although Harry Tiwidi is also famous in the world, his influence is mainly concentrated in Asia. The manifestation of multi-value lies in his ability.
Therefore, Li Zi'an's expected price of a piece of remuneration is Rs 1 billion. For Harry Tiwidi, whose remuneration is usually around Rs 800 million, it is naturally a relatively high standard.
"Since this is the case, I want 40% of the film box office share, isn't it too much?"
Harry Tweedy pondered, and he gave his quotation.
Li Zian heard Harry Tweedy's price, and Li Zian immediately smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Harry Tweedy, 40% of the box office share is too high..."
"Too high?" Harry Tiwidi was a little stunned: "Li Xiaodao, according to the investment ratio, I want 40% of the box office share, how can it not be considered high."
Li Zian heard the words and chuckled: "Mr. Harry Tiwidi, the box office share should not be considered this way, don't you bully me young."
"The script of this movie was written by me, the crew was prepared by me, and the director is also me. If this movie is my wholly-owned investment, then these are naturally unnecessary, but Mr. Harry Tweedy, you want to enter, Then, do we have to count them? After all, my hard work is also valuable."
If the previous invitation was a strong and powerful cooperation, then it is now a sale.
Li Zi'an can clearly distinguish between the two. Similarly, Li Zi'an believes that Harry Tiwidi can also distinguish clearly.
"What’s more, I still have huge resources in my hands. The film was filmed. I have the ability to let the film be released in China. Even with my efforts, I can let the film be released all over Asia. What should I do with my channel fee? What about?"
Li Zi'an smiled as Harry Tweedy counted the chips in his hand, and the tone was calm, but Li Zi'an's smile looked more and more like a little fox.
Too smart!
Know too much!
Harry Tiwidi called out genius in his heart.
"So, if Mr. Harry Tiwidi intends to buy shares, I can only give you this number."
Li Zi'an finally finished, slowly stretched out two fingers.
"20%?" Harry Tweedy saw it and shook his head again and again: "This is too low, if our movie box office is not high at that time~lightnovelpub.net~ Then I am just busy."
Li Zian heard the words, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled: "If Mr. Harry Tweedy doesn't have confidence in the movie box office, you can still choose to pay for the settlement. What I said before is still valid."
Li Zi'an said, while reaching out to push the blank check on the table slowly towards Harry Tweedy.
"This……"
Harry Tiwidi was tangled suddenly.
To get paid, he was a little unwilling, because he was very optimistic about the value of the script, and Li Zian held the channel of the Chinese cinema line. His instincts told him that this movie had the possibility of a big box office explosion.
To be divided, the share given by Li Zi'an is too low. According to Li Zi'an's calculation and analysis from Li Zi'an's expression, his success rate in bidding up should not be very high.
So whether to divide or pay, Harry Tiwidi is really a bit undecided now.
Harry Tiwidi was thinking about it, and Li Zi'an was also thinking about it.
First of all, Li Zi'an must ensure that Harry Tiwidi joins his movie, and secondly, under this premise, he will strive for his best interests as much as possible.
Inside the glass room, the air-conditioning was "whispering" blowing.
Anya and the rest were all quietly waiting. No one was allowed to intervene in the negotiations between Li Zi'an and Harry Tiwidi.
For about a minute of silence, Li Zian suddenly laughed.
"Mr. Harry Tiwidi, I wonder if you are interested in a gambling agreement?"
"Oh?"
