Chapter 209 Publisher
When Fan Zhe took the crew of "Hell Apartment" to several venues to shoot the camera, Ye Jiayi also received news from "Dimension Japan".
Li Zerui, the head of "Dimension Japan", submitted a new report, which he wrote that "Dimension Japan" will have the opportunity to achieve 50 to 60 million yuan in Japan by operating its own cultural works this year.
The big head of them, of course, comes from the animation "Amber Sword".
Li Zerui was already satisfied with the sales of discs that he had expected to exceed 7,000 or even tens of thousands. In the sluggish environment of the Japanese disc market, being able to get such a thing is enough to be considered the best in the near future.
However, the stamina of "Amber Sword" is still beyond imagination.
So far, about the third volume has been released, the sales of the work "Amber Sword" has reached 20,000.
This is the result of being able to enter the top 50 of the Japanese animation history list.
Moreover, so far, the rise of the animation work "Amber Sword" has not stopped. According to the trend of animation playback, two more volumes of CD will be released in the next one or two months. According to the current situation, it is also very promising to increase sales of more than 30,000 yuan, and it is also very promising to rank works of "Sword Art Online" and "Steel Alchemist".
At this point, Li Zerui naturally further increased the profits that could be reaped by the "Dimension Japan" this year.
Of course, his expected profits of 50 to 60 million yuan are not all derived from "Amber". Although the work "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" was published last year, at this time of this year, it can still bring certain profits through various operating means.
Excellent works will always have a long vitality.
After seeing such news, Ye Jiayi's mood naturally became very good.
With such a good mood, she brought a negotiating team, like about five or six people, to a film and television company in Shenghai.
The name of this company is "Heye Pictures". Liu Jinghe, the heroine of the movie "Hell Apartment", comes from this company.
An executive of "Heye Pictures" was a classmate of Fan Zhe's senior executive training class in Shenghai Drama Academy. The reason why Weidu Entertainment chose Liu Jinghe was not only recommended by someone, but also Liu Jinghe himself meets Fan Zhe's requirements, but also has a more important consideration: "Heye Pictures" is a film and television company with film distribution qualifications and related abilities.
This is what Weidu Entertainment values more.
Weidu Entertainment itself lacks the channels for film distribution, and they also lack the corresponding qualifications. After the filming is finished, it still has to be handed over to other companies to publish.
'Heye Pictures' is a partner that was decided earlier. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be responsible for the release of the movie after "Hell Apartment" is completed and the entire production.
And today, Ye Jiayi came here to discuss specific cooperation details.
‘Heye Pictures’ still attaches great importance to this cooperation.
Several senior executives were downstairs together, queuing up to greet them.
After going upstairs, she sat in the conference hall. In front of Ye Jiayi, she was a woman named Xu Ziting. She looked about 35 years old. She was also Fan Zhe’s classmate and the general manager of “Heye Pictures”.
"We have formulated a guaranteed issuance strategy. Mr. Ye, please take a look at it. The guaranteed line is 70 million yuan..."
Guaranteed issuance is a very popular distribution method in China in the past few years.
Set a guaranteed bottom line. If the box office is lower than this guaranteed bottom line, then the film company, that is, "Weidu Entertainment", will be divided according to this guaranteed bottom line. For example, the guaranteed bottom line is 70 million yuan, then if the final box office is less than 70 million yuan, then the Weidu Entertainment will be divided according to 70 million yuan, and the issuer will definitely lose some money.
If it exceeds 70 million, then the issuer will get a better share ratio for the exceeding part.
Generally speaking, some producers are more willing to accept the guaranteed sharing method, so that the risks will be distributed too much.
For example, if Ye Jiayi chooses to accept the guaranteed share of 70 million here, it means that "Hell Apartment" produced by "Vidu Entertainment" is destined to make a profit without losing money. According to the general share ratio, if the share is 70 million, Weidu Entertainment can probably recover more than 20 million.
This means that "Hell Apartment" can recover the cost, and can make a small profit of millions.
Once the box office is higher than 70 million, the share ratio of the higher part will drop a lot, but "Dimension Entertainment" can still make some profits.
Xu Ziting believes that she is quite generous with the conditions she has given.
Although Weidu Entertainment has not filmed independently before, their technical abilities are undoubtedly strong, and they have had the experience of becoming popular in series like "Fantasy Three Kingdoms". In addition, the heroine in the movie is still a girl she mainly promotes.
Looking at this way, she felt that it would be impossible to open a guaranteed issuance for "Weidu Entertainment".
Even if you lose, you shouldn't lose too much. What's important is that until now, the animations and TV series produced by "Vido Entertainment" have never failed. If this movie hits the box office, then the guaranteed release will make a lot of money.
However, she felt that she had very good conditions and felt that it was still unreliable when she heard Ye Jiayi's ears.
Ye Jiayi smiled and said, "We can accept guaranteed issuance, but the guaranteed line is, we hope to set it to 200 million."
"Impossible!" Xu Ziting refused directly.
The guaranteed share of 200 million means that no matter how the final result of "Hell Apartment" is, it will be at least 60 to 70 million. If the movie fails, then "Heye Pictures" will be in trouble.
With an investment of only 20 million yuan, a horror film with limited audience, a weak cast, and not even a star with appeal. Weidu Entertainment challenged the big screen for the first time, and this was the first time director Fan Zhe made a movie...
All these are the reasons why Xu Ziting is not optimistic about "Hell Apartment". All the factors combined make it impossible for her to agree to a guaranteed share of 200 million yuan.
Ye Jiayi knew Xu Ziting's rejection.
Two hundred million, she really spoke a little bit, and she never thought Xu Ziting would agree.
But it doesn't matter, it's not her purpose either.
"Then let's talk about a normal issuance, no guarantee is required."
"..." Xu Ziting said, "Your company is very confident."
