Chapter 635： Surprised?
The next day, Yang Cheng, who was planning to go back to New York, temporarily diverted to New Era Pictures. Donna Lande said that she had a surprise report. Thinking of the date she and Adam Goodman yesterday, Yang Cheng was really looking forward to it.
Of course, Yang Cheng, who is now full of conspiracies by the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party, has not reported too much expectations, or that his attention is not on the company.
But still rushed to the company early in the morning and met Donna Lande who came to report in the office.
"Boss, Adam Goodman asked me to have lunch yesterday and specifically mentioned a project-"Star Wars 8"!"
After Donna Lande finished speaking, she waited for Yang Cheng's expression to change. Sure enough, Yang Cheng showed a surprised expression as she expected, but then she frowned and asked, "What's the situation? Lucas Pictures Wasn’t it acquired by Disney? It also signed a plan for the "Star Wars" trilogy. "Star Wars 7" will be released by the end of the year. Is it true that Disney has put a lot of money on its own and handed over the project to Paramount? To do it?"
Yang Cheng’s guess was unreliable. Donna Lande explained in time, “It’s not like that. The "Star Wars" series must be produced by Lucasfilm and distributed by Disney, but they seem to want to re-negotiate with the theater. proportion."
Raising an eyebrow, this is in line with Disney's usual greedy style, "So what?"
Donna Lande smiled, "The latest news from Adam Goodman shows that the major theaters in North America are quite dissatisfied with the hegemony of Disney and even Hollywood’s six major hegemonies. If Disney insists on increasing the share ratio, they will collectively refuse the "Star Wars" series to be shown in theaters."
The boss Yang Cheng opened his eyes, his face was full of weirdness, and he shook his head and laughed, "It seems that Disney made a big death this time? Tell me, what unreasonable terms did they propose?"
Donna Lande opened her hand, obviously she agreed with Yang Cheng’s statement, “Actually, I can understand that because the "Star Wars" series is strong enough to attract gold, and Disney has invested in Lucasfilm in order to recover the investment as soon as possible. With more than 4 billion US dollars of funds, it is bound to do everything possible to squeeze the use value of the "Star Wars" series, and Disney seems to be quite optimistic about "Star Wars 7", directly asking for a 60%~65% share ratio, and for this This new film has more stringent screening terms than before in order to get more box office share."
"60%~65%?" Yang Cheng cried out silently, "Disney is crazy about money?"
After a few incredible howls, he calmed down immediately, "However, their confidence is not without a source. It has been more than 30 years since the last "Star Wars" was released. I believe that the first work of this return will definitely let "Star Wars" be released. Fans of "War" are crazy, even for feelings, they will rush into the cinema to buy tickets."
Donna Lande is equally absurd, "I heard this news yesterday, and thought Adam Goodman was joking, but think about it, in the style of Disney, it is too possible to do so.
Of course, I also understand the excitement of the theaters. Once they pinch their noses and recognize it this time, and "Star Wars 7" is a big hit, before the release of "Star Wars 8", it is entirely possible for Disney to speak out and divide the accounts. Raised to a height of 70%, at that time, there will be no alternative to suicide on the theater line, which is totally no way out. "
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Didn't you say that there are still a series of terms?"
"Compared with this horrible share of accounts ratio, those so-called harsh terms have become less important. It is nothing more than requiring theaters to play the movie in its largest theater for at least four weeks, etc. If the above terms are not complied with The theater will accept the penalty. As for the penalty, Disney will charge an additional 5% of the box office revenue, so that its box office share will reach 70% this year."
Indeed, Disney has taken the shame to the extreme, up to 65% of the box office share is unprecedented in Hollywood, and even in the world, this share of accounts is extremely rare.
At present, the common practice in the mainland film market is that the domestic film party gets about 43% of the box office, and the imported sub-account film party gets 25% of the box office.
If Disney achieves such a share of accounts this time, Disney is likely to become the most powerful production company since MGM in the 1930s. This is because the five major Hollywood film studios besides Disney are very unwilling. saw.
But to say that the situation this time is the only one for Scorpion Baba, it is not always true. Similar situations have also appeared in the country, but it is not common.
For example, on the eve of the release of Zhang Yimou's "Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling" in 2011, the film company New Picture Company put forward a request to increase the share of accounts, which encountered strong resistance from national theaters.
In the end, under the coordination of , the two parties finally agreed to increase the share ratio of the film party from 43% to 45%, and can be fine-tuned according to the screening situation. There is unconfirmed news that the specific approach is "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" The box office is less than 500 million yuan, the new screen gets 45%, and the theaters get 55%; the box office is over 500 million yuan, there will be other share accounts.
This is really an exception. It was completely a brain-dead move by Zhang Weiping, the general manager of the new picture at the time. It was not a thoughtful move like Disney. Of course, there is no difference in essence between the two, both are greedy.
Yang Cheng pressed his temples and finally digested the shocking news. He spit out and asked, "So, what does Adam Goodman mean? Why did he ask you to reveal this news?"
"In fact, Adam Goodman was entrusted by the theater alliance to act as an intermediary to bridge them with other Hollywood companies except Disney, and jointly resist Disney's hegemony." Donna Lande explained. .
Yang Cheng's expression was a little weird, "Is their brains okay? Although Disney is a bit shameless, it is always a community of common interests with us. It would be nice if we don't help and stab it. We still want to unite us to boycott Disney? Although we don't want to Seeing that Disney dominates, don’t forget that if Disney’s share ratio with the theaters is reached this time, we will be able to get the same share ratio in the future. Every point is a big dollar. What reason do we have? Join this muddy water? Isn't it better to sit and watch their dog bite the dog?"
Listening to Yang Cheng's vulgar but incomparable imagery, Donna Lande was speechless, still giving her a thumbs up, "The boss said it makes sense."
Of course, thinking about it, things really can't be done as Yang Cheng said.
