Chapter 492
"Don't forget that we have a follow-up, the second part is about the assassination that shocked the world; the third part is about my father's misery in his later years!"
Donna Round didn't understand very well, and asked curiously, "The misery of old age?"
Patty nodded, "Yes, as we all know, my father suffered from Alzheimer's disease in his later years and couldn't take care of himself. Nancy took care of all his life, but she firmly held the financial power and refused to give him medicine. Treatment, not to mention any father's friends are not allowed to come to visit, even we can only see father by taking the opportunity of the holiday."
Donna Round knew well that President Reagan's illness had caused a lot of noise back then, and the actions of his children were also exposed. Now Patty's statement is to earn sympathy for a while, and to cleanse herself Bai, people's skin is really thick beyond the sky!
Putting down the script, she simply stopped talking about the script. She was afraid that she would not be able to help but slap them a lot. Instead, she sneered and asked the most important question of profit distribution, because she also recognized the faces of several people , It is absolutely impossible to come to the door in person for hundreds of thousands of copyright fees, at most 1 million US dollars.
"How much do you think the project investment budget is? What is the investment allocation ratio? What is the profit sharing?"
Patty and the two brothers showed joy in an instant. They thought that Donna Lande had agreed to the establishment of the project by talking about the benefit distribution on her own initiative, so they immediately changed their attitudes and said arrogantly, "That's what I think, the creativity of the project It belongs to us, the copyright also belongs to us, and the script has already been written and needs to be refined and polished. From these three perspectives, it is not too much for us to ask for 50% of the total box office, right?
As for the specific investment, I don't know, but the first film doesn't need big scenes, let alone special effects, even if it invites first-line stars to star in, including their salary, the budget of 50 million US dollars is enough, what do you think? If you can't make the decision, just wait for your boss to come back and then decide! "
Donna Round felt that she had never been so angry in a few days. The anger was not because of Patty's contempt, but because they acted like they deserved it. Do you really think that the Hollywood company is open to charity? Just open your mouth and take 50% of the box office revenue, why don't you just say that New Era Pictures will pay for sponsorship! It can make her feel better!
It is important to know that Hollywood’s producers and theaters share accounts in different ratios. Among them, the income from derivatives such as DVDs accounts for a large part of the overall income of the film. The proportion is about 40~55%.
And this 50% share does not guarantee the profit of the producer. The follow-up of many series of movies is where the profit lies! Patty is very clear about this, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come up with a trilogy plan in one go!
But other aspects are pure nonsense. With a budget of 50 million US dollars, the domestic box office must reach at least 200 million US dollars to ensure that the film basically does not lose money.
Generally speaking, Hollywood film companies are very reluctant to disclose the specific production cost of a film. Even if they do, it is only a watered-down figure, because the actual cost of a film may far exceed the disclosed figure. In addition to production costs, there are more important promotion and marketing costs.
Promotional expenses for a movie can be staggering, and even a small $20 million movie can cost more than the film itself, since small-budget movies are typically romantic comedies Or children's movies and the like do not require a huge production budget, but when it comes to promotion costs, it is not that simple.
A movie with a production budget of $35 million to $75 million could easily spend half of that on promotion. In 2010, the 3D animation film "Super Villain" was released in North America, with a global box office of 320 million US dollars. Its production cost was 145 million US dollars, and the promotion fee reached 65 million US dollars. If it is a big production, the promotion fee will be even higher up,
Because film companies often spend a lot of advertising in order to recover costs.
According to Patty's filming cost of 50 million US dollars, even considering Reagan's own name, without too much hype, the publicity cost would be 25 million US dollars, so the total production cost would rise to 75 million US dollars, how much would it cost? Can money be guaranteed not to lose money? More than 200 million is just a conservative estimate!
Don't forget that this is a biographical film. Patty himself said that the first film will be relatively flat. Don't expect a big hit at the box office. Give 50% to Patty and the others, and the rest is the income of the producers and theaters, mmp, even if Donna Round suffers from Alzheimer's, she will not agree to such a share! Is this to make them lose all their pants left? There is no such proportion in the entire galaxy!
So Patty just got angry and then stopped being angry. It's not worth it. It's useless to talk to some idiots, and he was a little thankful that she had laid an ambush in advance and Yang Cheng didn't hear it. Judging from what Orange doesn't know much about, once he hears such an insulting share ratio on the spot, he might turn his face on the spot and send someone to beat the three white-eyed wolves out of the door from the top floor. Beating and cursing at the back, wishing the whole of Los Angeles knew the ugly face of this family.
God knows where these idiots whose heads were caught by the door got the confidence to visit the door to scold them. Donna Lande had already sentenced them to death, so she didn't want to talk to them anymore, so she sent the secretary to see them off!
As for Patty's swearing and dirty words, Donna Round pretended not to hear them. This was her last respect for President Reagan.
. . .
Yang Cheng, who rushed to the company after a long journey, came directly to Donna Langde's office, and missed Patty and her party who were sent out, making Yang Cheng speechless for a while, what's the situation? Are the guys getting impatient? Shake your face and leave?
"What's the situation?" Yang Cheng was thirsty, asked for a glass of ice water to take a sip, and sat across from Donna Langde and asked carelessly.
Donna Round smiled wryly and took out the script that Patty gave her just now, and narrated it back and forth. Although it couldn't be done verbatim, at least the expression on Patty's face was not missed.
Yang Cheng's face turned livid after hearing this, fuck, what did she think was going on, this is obviously a door-to-door fight against autumn wind? Do you really think of yourself as a god? Feel like a child of God? Seeing you, you have to kneel down and throw copper coins at you?
He didn't bother to think about why Patty and the others found him instead of looking for other big companies. Could it be that he felt that he was a soft persimmon so he could handle it?
It doesn't matter, anyway, I can't hold my breath, "You just let them go?"
Donna Lande said angrily, "What? Why don't you offer food and drink and agree to their request?"
After finishing speaking, he stared straight at Yang Cheng, and once Yang Cheng said yes, he immediately lifted his ass and left, so he couldn't do anything with this idiot boss.
Of course, this can never happen!
Yang Cheng sneered, "How is it possible, I can't play them to death!"
"What do you want to do?" Donna Round was really curious now.
Yang Cheng shrugged, and said with a playful smile, "Anyway, President Reagan's gimmicks are really good, why should we bring them? Isn't it good to just shoot them?"
