Chapter 159 Joint issue [two in one](2/2)
Eric Lomis glanced at Tom Thorneberg and Nicky Rocco, and all three of them understood what each other was thinking.
Eric Lomis pondered for a moment: "Justin, this is an excellent film. A true science fiction film.
It's completely different from the science fiction thriller we thought, but you know that it's really hard to have more than $100 million in this film."
"I know it's difficult, but it's not possible at all." Chen Tian himself knows how difficult it is to have a high box office in science fiction films like "This Man from Earth".
All three of them looked at Chen Tian, and they could hear a little bit of confidence in the box office from Chen Tian's tone.
"What if the box office of The Matrix 3 is bad? What if we use the science fiction film that only has special effects to highlight the film?
At the same time, it initiated the enthusiasm of fans to participate. I think you also felt how interesting John's words were.
You must also want to know whether John's words are true or not. But you will definitely not be able to fully understand them once, right?
Those who really love it will definitely not be stingy about going to the theater a few more times, right?”
Tom Thorneberg nodded: "Justin, we know that this can drive the box office, but it is still not enough to prevent you from running naked."
"This requires publicity, bigger publicity. NBC Radio will help us promote, and it is prime time."
Eric Lomis didn't expect that Chen Tian would contact NBC Radio himself: "NBC Radio's prime time promotion? That would cost a lot of money?"
"They gave me one million dollars." Chen Tian replied with a smile.
"NBC gave you one million? Justin, how did you do it?" Nicky Rocco couldn't believe it.
Generally, they are selling trailers on platforms like NBC, but it is still in prime time. It is impossible to win without three or four million.
However, Chen Tian did not spend money, but instead got some money from NBC.
"Nata's MV is on NBC to play. I will add a trailer of thirty seconds to the end of the MV.
Now I am also planning to give Scarlett's MV to NBC, which is a free gift this time, and maybe a long-term cooperative relationship can be established.
In addition, I will cooperate with World News Weekly, although they are supermarket tabloids.
But you must know how wide their coverage is, and they will continue to report on the news of immortality in the newspapers."
They didn't expect that Chen Tian had already thought about the publicity plan so much, which undoubtedly saved them a lot of time.
Chen Tian continued: "Don't forget to tie up the promotion with "The Matrix 3" to raise them and belittle us. Or highlight our characteristics, and then actively pull Nata and my fans into the film.
The most important thing is word of mouth, we need good word of mouth promotion from the media."
If you really follow Chen Tian’s publicity and invest a lot of advertising on the plane and on the Internet, outdoor billboards and radio, the box office will be greatly improved.
The three of them had agreed yesterday and the three companies jointly released the video.
This will undoubtedly maximize the influence and exposure of this film, and this film is destined to take a long line, and once it goes long line, it accumulates box office bit by bit.
Then the box office of this film is definitely a number that can be expected when it goes offline, although it may be a little far from 100 million yuan.
This film fully shows Chen Tian’s directorial skills, although it is based on the script adapted from the original work.
Eric Lomis has already figured it out. He told Chen Tian privately that MGM could spend one million or even five million to boost the box office, so that he could fight Chen Tian more reliably.
"Justin, the three of us have already figured out that we want to jointly release this video." Tom Thorenberg brought it up.
"Co-issuance? You three are together?" Chen Tian didn't expect that this would be the result.
Tom Thorneberg nodded: "Yes, we've already figured it out. But Justin, you know that this video is destined to be a niche.
Those who like it will like it very much, but those who don’t like it, so the box office will definitely not be as optimistic as those of "Hard Fruit Candy" and "Buried Live".
The three of us release together can maximize its publicity, and we hope you won't lose the bet.
We will give you a 40% share of DVDs and other income. If you have a box office of over 20 million in North America, you will get 5% and over 50 million in 10%.
If it exceeds 100 million US dollars, 20%, overseas box office will be 10%, and TV on demand will be 10%.
Our three companies bear all the publicity costs, and we will give you the adaptation costs and screenwriter and director fees, and we will give you 10 million in these two aspects.
Justin, look at this proposal, I know there is a gap between this proposal and our agreement on Saw.
But Justin hopes you can understand, after all, the audience of this film is a little small."
When they were chatting yesterday, they came up with several share agreements.
After watching the video today, they felt that DVD sales would not be too high, and the box office was the big one.
So Tom Thorenberg proposed the idea of sharing DVDs up to 40%, and the possibility of a box office of $100 million is really unlikely.
Even if it reaches 100 million, the three of them will only give Chen Tian 20 million, so that the three of them can share more than 10 million.
Tom Thorneberg made a rough estimate. After removing all the expenses in this film, the three companies in this film, and if the profits are good, there should be no problem for each profit to get 30 million.
Although it is not a large number, it is also objective.
What's important is that the reputation of this film they can foresee might be great, and that's what they want to see.
Chen Tian thought about it and found that the joint issuance of the three companies can indeed expand their influence as much as possible, which is what he needs.
Although the income is predictably incomparable to "Buried Alive", the reputation you get is the most important.
"OK! I agree! I hope the cooperation is pleasant, I really don't want to run naked, so you..." Chen Tian shrugged with a smile.
"Don't worry, the three of us will show the greatest sincerity to promote. If you run naked, we will mobilize people to block everyone's sight." Nicky Rocco said with a smile.
