Chapter 1,334: The Three-Body Problem Is Finalized
Many media outlets were looking for Chen Hao in the afternoon, but they never saw him. He didn't even walk on the red carpet until the opening ceremony began.
Facing many media outlets, Chen Hao looked at their eager eyes and thought to himself, if I tell you something about the afternoon, the headline of tomorrow's front page may not be the opening ceremony of the second part of "Legend of the Galaxy Heroes".
Instead, "Three Body" will be officially launched.
China is led by Huaying and Joyous Times, and Red Dot Company has also brought in three strategic partners. A project with an overall plan of over 10 billion yuan will not involve a single 10 billion yuan of project funds after it is fully launched.
One movie has allowed Red Dot to gain a firm foothold in the industry. The next step will be its comprehensive development stage, and there are many projects to be launched. Red Dot wants to obtain some high-quality conditions for these projects, including some peripheral industries. The only thing that can be shown is Chen Hao's work. It uses potential resources to exchange for immediate resources, shortening the company's development speed from the several-year cycle of two movies to the shortest time.
Chen Hao didn't understand business matters, and he fully fulfilled his original promise. He didn't say anything about the 15% shares in his hand, and just followed the dividends. At the beginning, 5% of the capital was injected, and Yin Tianyang directly provided the advance payment. 10% of the technology was invested, which meant that he got the shares of such a large company for free.
It is said that Red Dot made a lot of money from "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" and became a hot new film company. Not to mention the risks it took in the early stage, in this regard for Chen Hao, his technology investment was just a direct investment in the work. As a director, actor and screenwriter, the three personal benefits that should be given to him were all given by Red Dot according to his worth. The combined cash salary of 20 million US dollars, and then all the income under the entire film system, he personally occupied 5% of the net profit, which included box office, peripherals, videotapes, etc. The net profit left after all Red Dot needed to pay was the company's. In this, Chen Hao could still get a 15% dividend as a shareholder, and then take out a part of it to do charity in China. This was also a kind of cooperation method that everyone tacitly agreed to at the beginning.
No matter how much money Chen Hao gets, there will always be people who think he gets too little. The work is his, and he was the one who filmed it from beginning to end, as if all the money should be earned by him alone; no matter how much money he gets, there will always be people who think he gets too much. As an individual who is mainly an actor and does not involve large-scale capital investment, it seems that Chen Hao is currently the highest-paid public figure in the world. It is said that sports stars earn a lot, but there seems to be no comparison in front of him.
Let alone earning a lot from endorsements. The competition between Coca-Cola and Pepsi ended with Coca-Cola winning. The signing fee created the highest peak of the entire celebrity endorsement. It’s just that everyone is used to Chen Hao making a lot of money every year and getting used to him constantly making history, so the reaction to this news is not as big as imagined.
The cooperation between the two parties, Chen Hao shot advertisements and posters, and Coca-Cola specially designed a special version of Chen Hao with a full sense of technology. It is not much different from the classic Coca-Cola, but the edges and corners of the bottle have a little more overall sense of technology, which makes the sales of the entire Coca-Cola directly crush Pepsi. When the contract was just signed, some people said that the sky-high price was too scary, and the star value was too high, which brought a very bad negative impact to the industry. In recent years, we have been denouncing the high price of star endorsements and star pay. This price has also directly affected the creation of many works. There are many cases where the star has a lot of reputation but the quality of the entire series is not enough. Chen Hao is a youth leader and idol. Shouldn't you set an example at this time?
Those who want to black him are always thinking about finding faults with him in various ways. They have been used to it for so many years. The only answer may be Coca-Cola's quarterly sales report and financial report. It really sells too much. The effect of celebrity endorsements is fully reflected in Chen Hao.
A bottle of beverage can be afforded by everyone, and it is also a very daily consumption in life. When you want to buy a bottle of beverage, except for those with special taste requirements, most people will still look at the brand, and there is no clear direction.
Haomen has many fans, and Coke is a popular taste. To be honest, Coke is indeed better than Pepsi. The purchasing power of three yuan is a behavior that fans do not need to do deliberately to support their idols.
In China alone, the sales growth of several hundred billion bottles this summer is completely stress-free.
What the outside world says is secondary. There are media and fans who make "official" and "unofficial" explanations and proofs. On the Coca-Cola side, the headquarters board of directors and the company's senior management all recognize this celebrity endorsement, which is also the best celebrity endorsement they have ever seen.
There is no change, just a series of endorsement advertisements, just a little change in the bottle, just the image on the trademark, and the improvement of the brand effect is simply not considered. The money sold by the global strategy, calculated according to the current situation, the endorsement fee signed by Chen Hao has long been earned back.
Recently, Chen Hao has been making a lot of money. "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" has begun to settle the box office and peripherals in batches, and Red Dot's B round of financing has also been completed. Chen Hao's shares have been diluted in a small part, and some have been discounted according to the price of this round of financing. The reduction in shareholding is expected, but Yin Tianyang also said that even at the listing stage, Chen Hao's shareholding will not be less than 8%, and he will try to keep it at around 10%.
In the past, he earned money in Chinese currency, but now he earns money in US dollars and British pounds. The money he earned began to make Chen Hao bring out the ambition he had talked about with Xiao Di before. He dared not think about first-tier cities for the time being, but he could do a small experiment in his hometown first.
The real estate developed by the Amethyst City project is a separate commercial block. All of it is not sold to the public. He will keep all the money and first own a small commercial street in his hometown.
For other things, professional financial personnel will report to him. He only needs to know his current three accounts, keep the income data of mobile phone text message reminders, and keep various email reports issued by Swiss banks.
Now all the income in his hometown is simply not included in his personal account. Except for the studio account there, the rest is all included in his parents' account. At the same time, a sum of money will be remitted to the other three accounts under this account every once in a while.
The joint account of Ma Defu and his eldest sister Chen Xue.
The joint account of Kang Yan and his second sister Chen Yu.
Chen Gang's account.
As for Qiu Yu, Chen Hao gives him a lot of benefits every year. Huya Times gives him a little bit of company shares, which is enough to offset his dedicated service over the years.
It can be said that apart from the disgusting Mario incident some time ago, there are good things worth celebrating in life and work, so Chen Hao has no idea about Red Dot's development of the "Three-Body" project. I will do my best to do it according to my ideas. If the company intends to sell the adaptation rights of the "Three-Body" novel, I can also sign it. I can not interfere with the content of your adapted script, but I must guarantee the scale of production.
In the afternoon, several bigwigs sat around the table in the conference room and talked for more than two hours in a very harmonious atmosphere. They all had their own rights and interests they wanted to fight for, but facing the absolute core Red Dot and Chen Hao, everyone put away their aggressiveness. Red Dot Company's attitude of balancing everything for the quality of the film also convinced everyone, so the whole afternoon's negotiations went very smoothly. The general direction of cooperation has been negotiated, and the rest does not need bigwigs to talk about it. There are professionals below to take charge.
The core part is whether to shoot with China as the center in the early stage.
The head of Huaying and Han Sanye flew over from China, and several bigwigs were fighting for China's interests for this movie. They hope that the leading role of this movie will still start with China. As for the most critical roles in the early stage, they dared not mention it. Now they are united against the outside world. If they don't win the victory outside, they will fight for roles, which will make people outside laugh.
At this moment when everyone is eager to look forward to Chen Hao's opening and making a decision, Yin Tianyang did not make Chen Hao embarrassed. The first sentence after everyone sat down and lit cigars gave everyone a reassurance: "In principle, we still follow the setting of the novel. There are no other requirements for Red Dot. Even if Chen Hao is not the director, he must be the general producer of the whole film, responsible for the shooting of the whole film, and has the final veto power."
Everyone has the same voice in their hearts. Of course, if Chen Hao is not the general person in charge of this film, the investment matter must be discussed carefully. Unlike now, the most important investment of the whole project is not discussed at all.
Everyone has the same understanding, so there is no need to discuss. What is there to discuss? Mr. Chen can just put in the money according to the investment ratio. No matter how much money he needs, we will definitely follow suit. Naturally, there is no need to discuss how much money we all have to invest to make this movie.
The Chinese people spent half of their minds thinking about who will play the role of Ye Wenjie during the subsequent negotiations. Who will play Wang Miao? This is a role that will definitely be created among Chinese actors. The name of "The Three-Body Problem" alone is enough to make the selected person popular all over the world before the movie starts shooting. Any actor who gets this role can be called the lucky person of the century. Is it possible for our company to recommend a successful candidate?
If Chen Hao plays the role, who will he play? Luo Ji is the most likely, right? The later roles may be changed, and they are not purely Chinese characters. But the previous Ye Wenjie and Wang Miao, especially the role of Ye Wenjie, will directly make an actress an international superstar.
Mr. Chen, will Xiao Di play this role?
