The 30% of the box office in North America is not as increasing as the share agreement of "Buried Live".

Tom Thorneberg means that it is 30% at once, and it does not reach much box office increase at all.

If you take away 30%, the benefits that Lions Gate gets by itself are about 20% of the box office. If the publicity expenses are large, it may not even be so much.

Although Tom Thorenberg emphasized that it was 30% of the North American box office share, the overseas box office share was not much.

The cost of DVD production and distribution promotion is not a small amount. If you get 40% of the cost after deducting it, you will get it.

The Lion Gate got only about 20%, which was almost half of what Chen Tian had.

At the same time, Lions Gate bears all the expenses after "Saw" becomes a sample, and also needs to pay for director and screenwriter fees.

Such a share agreement is so crazy, so crazy that it is beyond replenishment.

Tom Thorneberg has naturally considered it because he proposed this. Now the relationship between Lionsgate and Chen Tian is at a freezing point.

The Lions Gate has to bear a lot of risks behind this crazy share agreement, but it is also not without profit.

If the quality of the final shot is as high as he imagined, then the income outside the box office, whether it is TV broadcast or DVD Blu-ray, will definitely be considerable. This is the fundamental reason why Tom Thorenberg dares to propose such a crazy share agreement.

Although the benefits are much less, it is now in an extraordinary period after all.

A low gesture made Chen Tian look back, which was what he wanted to show.

"Tom, your proposal is crazy!"

Chen Tian's tone made Tom Thorneberg smile. No one can refuse the interests.

It's just that this benefit is large enough to impress the person: "Justin. This is our sincerity. We hope you can see it."

"Well, Tom, now I'm on my way to the Dickson Theater next to Sunset Avenue, Saw will be screened in an hour in today, if you will..."

"Oh, of course I'd like to wait for me for an hour! Justin, you're my best friend!"

Tom Thorneberg hung up the phone excitedly. The news couldn't be better for him.

Although the top leaders above did not know about the share agreement he proposed, he was confident that he would convince them.

Take the suit from the hanger and quickly put it on your body.

"Justin, you're finally here!"

Wen Ziren looked at Chen Tian who was here and said that the screening time was almost up, and he was about to call Chen Tian.

"James, I asked the staff to wait for an hour, and I just received a call.

Tom Thorenberg of the Lions Gate called and he made a share offer that I couldn't refuse."

"An offer that is hard to refuse?" David Ellison looked at Chen Tian.

Chen Tian shrugged: "Yes. It's hard to refuse, at least it sounds like you may feel that their mental disorder may be in chaos."

"The North American box office is 30%. The dvd and Blu-ray disc are 40%. The Lions Gate will bear the expenses for everything in the future." Chen Tian smiled at everyone who also showed an incredible expression, "In addition, they will also pay the director fee and the screenwriter fee."

Megan Ellison shook his head: "Although I've just gotten into this industry, I know that such an offer is really undeniable.

But, Justin, that also shows the problem!”

David Ellison turned his head and asked in surprise: "Explain a question?"

"Saying the degree of their desire for Justin to work together, of course it is based on their ability to Justin and James, who are sending out friendly signals to the best of their ability."

Megan Ellison said something good, but even such a proposal still makes people crazy.

You can imagine how much sensation arises when such a proposal is exposed and may cause turmoil in the entire industry.

After all, Chen Tian is not the biggest brand, nor is he the one with the best box office. Famous directors are likely to use Chen Tian as a template to make a request.

If it really reaches that point, Chen Tian may offend many people because of this.

After all, the whole Hollywood has its own set of rules running, and no one wants anyone to break this rule.

When there is a problem with this rule, it causes one party to suffer losses, more reactions will occur, such as screenwriter strikes, director strikes, and actor strikes.

Several people also chatted and waited for Tom Thorneberg, "By the way, I went to Boston this time, and I will choose the remaining five characters for the new movie starting tomorrow.

If it goes well, filming will start next week. If anyone of you wants to accompany me to cast and then filming next week,"

"You already have the male and female protagonists?"

Chen Tian looked at Wen Ziren: "Yes, the male protagonist was met last time I went to New York. You must not have thought of who the heroine?"

Looking at Chen Tian’s proud expression, Wan Ziren speculated: “Scarlett?”

"Anne Hathaway?" Megan Ellison echoed.

Seeing Chen Tian shaking his head, David Ellison replied: "Jessica Alba?"

"None of them, it's Natalie Portman."

"Natalie Portman?" David Ellison cried, "Justin, are you sure you're not kidding? I love her Star Wars and the Killer very much."

"Hey, David, don't be excited, do you think I'm going to tell lies? This is lucky, and the script impressed her, so the pay can be almost ignored, and of course she will definitely be divided in the end."

"This is really incredible!" David Ellison sighed. He never expected that Chen Tian would let Natalie Portman appear in "This Man from Earth" almost for free.

"Wow, what's incredible? Maybe I've missed something interesting."

Tom Thorneberg walked in, and the suit was held in his hand, and the white shirt on his body was soaked.

"Tom, have you gone swimming?" Chen Tian quipped with a smile.

"I really want to go swimming now, but obviously there is something more important." Tom Thorenberg said with a smile.

I introduced the Ellison brother and sister to Tom Thorneberg, and the screening room staff began to prepare to play "Saw".

"Tom, you'd better be mentally prepared, it's even bloodier than the script seems." Chen Tian reminded kindly.

Although the bloodiness of "Saw" is very popular, not everyone can bear it.

Tom Thorenberg looked at Chen Tian and said with a smile: "Justin, we are good at this. Do you think I'm afraid?"

David Ellison laughed at this sentence: "Tom, how about we bet? If it shocks you, give me a hundred dollars.

If not, I'll give you a hundred dollars."

Tom Thorneberg doesn't care about the hundred dollars, but what he cares about is his relationship with Chen Tian. The Ellison brother and sister are now Chen Tian's partner, so he decided to play, although he thinks he can't lose.

"David, you're giving me money. I'll use this hundred dollars to treat you to drink after the show!"

"Tom, you're so confident." David Ellison was full of confidence.

The sound came out of the speaker, and Tom Thorneberg looked at the big screen. (To be continued...)
