Chapter 705 Thunder Tiger Is Also in a Hurry
Li Xiuman left Xiangjiang gratefully.
His affairs are easy to manage. He has no pursuit in singing, and he will go to the United States to study in the United States soon. After returning, he will start a S.M company.
Based on the friendship between Yin Jun and him, when Li Xiuman opens the S.M company, give him 10 million US dollars, give him full decentralization and support for the global music market in Asia and the United States, and obtain more than 60% of the shares, it should not be considered Is it too much?
Yin Jun never thought of such a feat as single-handedly single-handedly winning the thigh era, but the establishment of such a pleasing beauty and girl group is a good thing for the music industry itself.
Not only can you hold this future first-day Asian group in the palm of your hand, but it can also stimulate Hong Kong and mainland singers and groups to work harder.
The last remaining foreign actor is a little bit difficult.
Eddie Murphy was originally an unknown person. Although he played very well in "Police Academy" and made everyone remember him, he still didn't look good enough in the entertainment environment of the United States.
In the past few days, Eddie Murphy called back to his previous variety show, but they ignored him at all, which made him a little frustrated.
For black buddies, what they like most is to enjoy life after being famous and earning money, but Eddie Murphy finds it difficult to even become famous, so let alone the future.
Under such circumstances, Eddie Murphy stayed in Xiangjiang, vaguely revealing that he wanted to hang out with Yin Jun.
Anyway, Xiangjiang is also known as the Hollywood of the East. There are not a few foreigners acting here. He feels that he should be able to gain a firm foothold here.
Yin Jun had a headache.
He doesn't know how Eddie Murphy has spent the past few years, but he must have honed his acting skills in small American movies and TV series, and then became a blockbuster in "Beverly Hills Detective" in 1984, becoming a The top-grossing super movie that year earned a huge box office of 230 million U.S. dollars in North America.
Of course, Yin Jun will not let go of the "Beverly Hills Detective" series of movies, but if Eddie Murphy stays in Xiangjiang, Yin Jun is worried that he will not be able to sharpen his acting skills and temperament .
But Eddie Murphy was resolutely unwilling to go back, Yin Jun could only discuss with him, and then signed him into Qilin Culture, and asked him to prepare to go to various filming sets in Xiangjiang that had suitable roles.
For this reason, the contract signed by Kirin Culture and Eddie Murphy is still at a disadvantage. It is so far, because according to the contract, Eddie Murphy will be fully managed by Kirin Culture in the next 10 years.
Eddie Murphy was very happy, because Yin Jun gave him a fixed annual salary of 300,000 US dollars, plus the share of each movie, and the odds and ends would not be less than 500,000 US dollars a year. Jun will make up for him.
And this income is not static, it will increase by 20% every year, and it will reach as much as 3 million US dollars in the tenth year. This is the rhythm of becoming three millionaires a year!
If it weren't for the fact that Yin Jun's contract was only signed for 10 years, Eddie Murphy would have wanted to say Jun Shao, can you give me a 20-year contract.
Yin Jun's first acting opportunity for Eddie Murphy was in a movie in New Art City.
Taking this opportunity, Lei Juekun found Yin Jun's office and complained.
"What do you think Mecca and the group are doing? Returning the Seven Monsters of Xinyi City? What a nonsense!" Lei Juekun said, "The company has been established for more than a year, and it has produced a lot of movies, but what a box office hit. No top-notch movies have come out! Young Master Jun, you said that I am a film company, how could it be so difficult?"
"Stop it!"
Yin Jun exposed him mercilessly, "Although the movies in New Art City don't cost tens of millions, they are at least five or six million at the box office, right? Adding in the box office in Shanghai and overseas, you earn two dollars a year." Thirty million in net profit, and that's not counting the profit of your Golden Princess Theater, isn't it enough?"
"What's the difference?" Lei Juekun said plaintively, "Look at Hong Jinbao, look at Wu Siyuan, they keep getting scripts from you, and the box office is tens of millions, so they are very famous. Overseas sales are much better than our movies! My family has a big business and only earns 20 to 30 million yuan, but their small-cost workshops have more than 10 million yuan in net profits, and their lives are much more nourishing than mine!"
Lei Juekun was right about this point.
Regardless of how much he earns, he actually has a lot to pay.
There are hundreds of employees in New Art City, and hundreds of employees in the Golden Princess Cinema Line. Although he is not required to do everything personally, it is often tens of millions of filming expenses and various expenses, which make Lei Juekun feel to the pressure.
Just this month, Shi Tian spent 1.5 million on a film, but only received 2.4 million at the box office in the end. Even if Shanghai Overseas was added, the loss would exceed 800,000, which made Lei Huo a little uneasy.
Hong Jinbao and Wu Siyuan are operating on a small budget. They only get less than 800,000 yuan to make movies on weekdays, which means they earn hundreds of thousands, which is not much.
Then after getting Yin Jun's script, he invested more than 3 million yuan, but he was able to earn more than seven or eight million yuan in the end.
In one year, 10 to 20 million is about the same. Do you think it can make Lei Juekun feel balanced?
The point is that Lei Juekun feels that the relationship between himself and Yin Jun is not bad compared to these two actors. The two are still business partners. Without the help of Kowloon Bus, they can have Can it support such a huge circle of traffic lines today?
In a blink of an eye, Shao Brothers and Jiahe invested 30 million Hong Kong dollars in Yin Jun's movie "Police Academy". At the beginning, I don't know how many people laughed at Shao Laojiao and Zou Bold as idiots, and dared to invest so much money in it. make a movie.
Calculated according to the value of Yin Jun's script is also 30 million, that is 90 million investment, need 270 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office to pay back.
"You think you are Li Xiaolong?"
I didn't know how many people were saying this sentence at the beginning.
Because among the Chinese in the world, only Li Xiaolong's "Enter the Dragon" has a box office of 230 million U.S. dollars, and other Xiangjiang filmmakers have a box office of more than 10 million at most, and the global box office is 6,000 to 7,000 with a buyout instead of a share. Wan, no more.
Even if Yin Jun's screenwriting talent is outstanding, it can't be said to reach 270 million!
But when the movie is made, everyone can see what the result is.
It only took 2 weeks for the show to be profitable, and the next few weeks were purely for nothing.
Some media are already estimating whether the three companies can earn 100 million or 200 million?
A movie made a profit of 100 to 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and Lei Juekun felt drooling just listening to it.
In fact, he is not without opportunities. If he was willing to invest in the shares, Yin Jun would not favor one over the other, but 30 million is too much, and Lei Juekun always felt that it was unreliable, so he just mentioned it to Yin Jun and stayed there. play dumb.
Now, Lei Juekun wanted to slap himself.
If you invested 30 million in the beginning, at least double the return now, right?
How cool is it to earn 30 million in less than half a year?
This time, Lei Juekun is determined not to have this old face, and must get a good script from Yin Jun.
After spending so long, being beaten on the ground by Shaw Brothers and Jiahe in turn during the summer vacation, there is still no sign of rising. Lei Juekun has lost confidence in the Seven Monsters of New Art City.
He decided to follow the model of Hong Jinbao and Wu Siyuan. Yin Jun's blockbuster films will be used to gain fame and brand names, and the Seven Monsters of New Art City will slowly make their films until they can succeed one day.
"Young Master Jun, just give me Lao Lei a clear sentence, can you support me?" Lei Juekun simply asked for help, "I heard that you are very dissatisfied with Shao Lao's model. But Our new art city is not an old-fashioned film company, but very innovative. You also know that I am the one who canceled the basic fee, and it is also my responsibility to give the employees under the company the freedom to create. My idea, such a company is no worse than Golden Harvest, right? You gave Golden Harvest a good script, and you also gave New Art City one, isn't that too much?"
"A script of 5 million, and then it has to be included in the investment cost, Lao Lei, are you willing?" Yin Jun asked him.
"Yes!" Lei Juekun had already thought about it, no matter how much money he had, he was willing to do it. I can't be inferior to Jiahe, right?
"Then the heroine also wants me to decide." Yin Jun continued.
At this point, Lei Juekun frowned a little, "Jun Shao, who are you going to use as the heroine?"
"Don't worry, Zhao Yazhi, do you think it's okay?" Yin Jun said.
"OK!"
Lei Juekun breathed a sigh of relief.
When making a movie in Xiangjiang, if even Zhao Yazhi can't be the heroine, who can be the heroine?
"The last condition." Yin Jun said, "I have a total of three scripts for this movie. We will invest in these three together. As for whether you want to do it yourself later, I will not participate."
"No problem." Lei Juekun also agreed.
It's not the first time he's making a movie, and he knows that movie sequels are the worst, and they're often worse.
Yin Jun said to give them three scripts, which proves that he is sure of the box office of the three films, which is a good thing!
Unable to bear it, Lei Juekun asked Yin Jundao, "Young Master Jun, why is my script cheaper than Jiahe's?"
"Because they are global-oriented films, the production investment is relatively high." Yin Jun said, "This film for you can get a good box office in Asia, but it may not be so in Europe and the United States."
"How much box office can you estimate?" Lei Juekun asked.
"The box office of Xiangjiang is about 30 million!"
"Enough! Enough!"
Lei Juekun burst into laughter.
Xiangjiang has a box office of 30 million, and the overseas box office can be at least 40 million, so Xinyi City can at least have a profit of 15 million!
Look, making a movie with Yin Jun's script is such a rich prospect!
