Chapter 117 0116
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Shi, the filming of this film has already been completed, and now the post-production has also been completed. It's just because the actors used are not big-name actors, so the release...may be a little later." Zou Wenhuai said very tactfully. out.
"If Mr. Shi doesn't mind, I can recommend a better movie to you, and if you sponsor it, you can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Shi Zhijian sighed, took out a match, lowered his head and put his hands together, lit the cigarette that Zou Wenhuai had handed him before, took a leisurely puff, and put on a disappointed expression.
"Manager Zou, I'm not going to hide it from you, I'm here today just for the movie "The One-Armed Swordsman". I really hope that the movie made by my idol can be released as soon as possible!"
Zou Wenhuai was even more moved, and he said that he must leave Mr. Shi's phone number and let Director Zhang get to know him better. As the saying goes: Qianjin is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find!
"But I don't know if there is any other way?" Shi Zhijian scratched the bridge of his nose with his tail finger while holding a cigarette, and looked at Zou Wenhuai longingly.
"this……"
Zou Wen thought that there was something I could do. Shao Daheng was not optimistic about Zhang Che, and there was nothing I could do.
"If... I mean if..." Shi Zhijian hesitated, and even bowed to flick the ashtray into the ashtray, "I bought out this movie with money, er, I heard that your company spent two dollars on the filming of this movie." Is it 100,000? I will take out 200,000 and buy it out, and then your company will help you screen it in your theaters. After deducting the theaters’ share, we will split the remaining box office. I get 8, and your company gets 2. How? ?”
"Uh, is there such a good thing?" Zou Wenhuai glanced at Shi Zhijian in surprise.
Shaw Brothers has integrated filming and release, and has its own theaters to show its own movies. Now Shi Zhijian is willing to spend 200,000 yuan to bear the full cost of film investment, while Shaw Brothers only needs to provide theaters. No matter how bad the box office is, it can’t lose money How much money, on the contrary, if the box office is good, you can make a lot of money, no matter how you calculate this kind of business is very cost-effective!
Zou Wenhuai thought of this, but immediately kept his composure and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid this will be difficult to do!"
Who is Shi Zhijian? Although Zou Wenhuai quickly hid his surprise, Shi Zhijian still noticed it.
Zou Wenhuai picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, thinking how to bargain with Shi Zhijian to make him bleed more.
Although Zou Wenhuai admires Shi Zhijian very much and considers him a confidant, business is business, and when it is time to be treacherous, he must be treacherous.
In fact, let this "confidant friend" spend money to buy a lesson, and it is good to know that the world is dangerous!
"This is Mr. Shi. Our company has never been bought out by outsiders. Besides, this movie is a big production and big investment. Although our boss Shao is not confident in this movie, I still have confidence in it. , so, there is nothing I can do to help!"
After Zou Wenhuai finished speaking, he carefully observed Shi Zhijian's reaction, fearing that if he spoke too harshly, he would slap him to death and kill the other party's idea of buying out.
Shi Zhijian let out a long sigh, bent down and crushed the cigarette in the ashtray, looked at Zou Wenhuai and said, "Since Manager Zou is in such a difficult situation, I won't force him anymore!"
Zou Wen said badly and wanted to leave, and hurriedly said: "Actually, I can't be too absolute. I think Mr. Shi is full of sincerity, not to mention that you are a fan of Director Zhang. Well, let's do it, I will try my best to help you." Say and make peace!"
Shi Zhijian was overjoyed, "Then I'll have to trouble Manager Zou!"
"Wait a minute, I'll give Mr. Shao a call first! After all, it's business-related, so I'll call outside, Mr. Shi, don't you mind?"
"Of course I don't mind, please!" Shi Zhijian got up and watched Zou Wenhuai go out.
...
Zou Wenhuai left the office, instead of looking for a phone in another room, he ran to the bathroom, found a squat pool in it, closed the door, took out a cigarette in his pocket, lit one, checked the time on his watch, and smoked slowly. up.
Just kidding, how could he really ask Daheng Shao for such a good opportunity?
Originally, Shao Daheng was upset because of this movie, so he ran over and said that there was a fool who wanted to spend 200,000 to buy out the movie. After deducting the theater line share, the rest of the money would be 80% of the money. This kind of stable income Who wouldn't do a deal without compensation?
Why don't you tell Shao Daheng after you've negotiated the deal, which can be regarded as making up for your mistakes.
So Zou Wenhuai began to think about how to tell Shao Daheng how hard it was to find such an investor, and how hard it was to persuade him to make a buyout decision. Credit is exaggerated.
Almost five minutes later.
Zou Wenhuai came out of the bathroom, washed his hands, tidied his hair, pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, patted some water stains on his forehead, grinned his teeth and made some facial expressions in front of the mirror. After calling Shao Daheng on the phone, his mouth was dry and he tried his best to express himself, and he felt that he was almost done, so he returned to the office again.
...
In the office, Shi Zhijian was sitting drinking tea, while Hu Juncai was twisting his buttocks on the sofa.
Seeing Zou Wenhuai coming out, Hu Juncai hurriedly sat up again, while Shi Zhijian put down the tea and looked at him expectantly.
Zou Wenhuai took out a handkerchief and wiped the "sweat" on his forehead, then sat down again, and said to Shi Zhijian: "Mr. Shi, you are very lucky. I discussed this with Boss Shao. The column requested a change..."
"How to change?"
"Boss Shao said that 50% of the box office will be taken away from the theaters, and the remaining box office must be divided between 30 and 70%! We get three, and you get seven!"
"Uh, this..." Shi Zhijian hesitated.
Zou Wenhuai's heartbeat quickened, but he remained calm, fearing that Shi Zhijian would not be able to hold on and would leave again.
Who knows——
"Okay then, Sanqi is Sanqi! After all, the cinema is also yours, and everyone needs to earn money to eat!" Shi Zhijian patted his thigh and made a decision.
"Wow!" Zou Wenhuai breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Shi, I can tell you responsibly that your decision is absolutely right!"
Shi Zhijian got up and shook hands with Zou Wenhuai: "Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
"Lawyer Hu, prepare the signing materials!"
...
Hu Juncai has been with Shi Zhijian for so long, and he is used to all kinds of contracts, so he drafted a movie buyout contract without spending much time. After Zou Wenhuai and Shi Zhijian made further discussions and adjustments, the formal contract was finalized. .
Shi Zhijian represented the instant noodle factory, and Zou Wenhuai represented the Shaw Brothers film company. The two signed and pressed their seals on the buyout contract of the "One-armed Swordsman" movie.
The two shook hands again and congratulated each other: "Happy cooperation!"
Since then, according to the contract, Shi Zhijian spent 200,000 cash to become the owner of the movie "One Armed Swordsman". He can freely add the promotion of his own factory, and then put it in theaters under Shaw Brothers. release.
In this way, Shi Zhijian provided the movies, Shaw Brothers provided the theaters, and the theaters took 50% of the box office, and the remaining 70% of the box office.
According to the calculations of the previous life, the local box office of this drama in Hong Kong is as high as 1.29 million, and the overseas box office is also 2.27 million, for a total of 3.56 million.
According to the contract, after deducting 50% of the box office from Shaw Cinemas, there is still 1.78 million left, and Shi Zhijian takes 70% of the proceeds, which is almost 1.2 million!
In other words, excluding the investment of 200,000, Shi Zhijian made a net profit of 1 million this time! By the way, they also advertised their own instant noodles! In the future, we can open up overseas markets in one fell swoop!
"What a deal!"
Shi Zhijian praised.
...
Shi Zhijian took Hu Juncai away.
Zou Wenhuai couldn't wait to call Shao Daheng——
"Mr. Shao, let me tell you some good news first! I negotiated a good deal!"
