Chapter 1080: split accounts

February 7.

The light rain started to fall in the morning.

The sky was overcast, and there was no sign of stopping.

After a brief preparatory meeting that day, Warners continued to be active, bringing in Tom Hardy for $6 million and Anne Hathaway for $4.5 million.

As soon as the main actors and actresses were confirmed, special training began immediately, while the crew was busy setting up the scene, formulating corresponding props and costumes.

Like Warner's Studio 3, it's packed with everything you need.

Batmobile, several sets of bat tights, capes, and a special Catwoman night suit that measures Anne's body, and fake firearms...

Of course, Lehman didn't pay attention to these, he went to supervise the preparation of the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" project after the establishment of the group.

In the afternoon, I just made an appointment with Fox's production department to meet tomorrow to deconstruct the script and formulate the casting. Assistant Mace knocked on the door and came in to remind him that Lionsgate President Jon Feilermei sent a notice: "Dawnbreak :( above)” financial split.

Well, after several months of drawing under "Breaking Dawn", the box office revenue from overseas is finally accounted for clearly, and it is time for the producer to share the profits.

During this period of time, the company has been spending money to expand departmental staff, expand the publicity network, sink sales channels, establish transit warehousing, set up film funds, and a large monthly salary expenditure for employees. , can only look at the reduced figures in the financial report.

So when he got the news of the money, Ryman, who had nothing to do, immediately took the accounting team to the US headquarters of Lionsgate in Santa Monica.

Familiar buildings, familiar corridors.

Before entering the office, Ryman also saw the managers assigned by series author Stephanie Meyer.

When the other party saw him coming, he quickly greeted him eagerly.

Although the relationship between Firefly and Stephanie was not very good when they bought and sold the adaptation rights, but with the success of the "Twilight" series of films, the novel is also a hot sale, which has set off a lot of people around the world. The popularity and sales of various translations in other regions also created a lucrative source of income for the author. In addition, Firefly never defaults on, conceals, or deducts the interests of the author. There are many channels for obtaining information, and Stephanie's perception of Firefly has eased.

A deliberate greeting with no friendship.

Lyman waved his hand and said, "Let's go in together."

The group entered the conference room at Lions Gate, where Jon Feilermei and the financial staff were all ready.

"Why are you here? I want to talk to you about the "Escape Plan" project in a few days."

Jon got up, walked over to Lyman, and took him to sit down, "We have set up a scene at the Aviation Center (NASA), and it's been a long time since we started. You are also one of the investors of this movie, I hope you can help us. Pull the relationship and get an affirmative answer as soon as possible. I have already sent the materials to China Film, and after the filming is over, we will know if the film meets the requirements of the film. If not, we will recover the risk of investment. It's a bit big..."

He worried: "The Chronicles of Narnia 3 and Tron: Legacy have already been released over there. Just yesterday, bad films like The Green Hornet were also introduced. If there is no accident, they will be released early. The second work of the final chapter of "Harry Potter", the "Mission Impossible 4" that has been approved... 14 credits, even the spring has not ended, and one third has been lost. I am afraid that six If there is another action on the big side, they will give up our medium-invested projects in order to invest more works for them. If it is delayed until next year or the year after, the longer it is delayed, the more difficult it is to implement the publicity schedule signed with the main creator.” Qiao En said while looking at Lyman.

Well, in fact, he also wanted to say that Marvel has a few more film appointments that are decided to release this year, because it is no surprise that China Film will give priority to introducing films with a wider box office market, creating more profit.

"My influence is like that, otherwise "Dawn" would not have been censored for many rounds or be eliminated." Lehman spread his hands, indicating that he was not that important.

"This is different. It's a matter of subject matter. The content involves vampires. They must have concerns, but "Escape Plan" is just an action-oriented film, and there will be no **** scenes."

"I try my best."

Lionsgate is right to worry about this. There is only business between the two sides, and Lionsgate has been introduced only a handful of times. In addition, in the past 11 years, each family has indeed made efforts——

In the itinerary that has been revealed, there are too many threats.

As for "The Green Hornet" mentioned by Jon, it is completely a production joke in the industry:

One day, Columbia's production executives had a whim to re-interpret "The Green Hornet" (in fact, they wanted to consume Bruce Lee), and then recruited Jaylen and Seth Rogen to form an actor cast headed by them.

However, this kind of unimproved work was naturally left out in the film market in January 2011. Even if its budget cost is high and the publicity specifications are not low, when the curious audience joined forces to contribute 33.52 million After the opening of the box office in the first week of , the word of mouth was bad, and the next week it plummeted by 47.5%, and it continued to decline.

In the face of the lack of improvement in the screening market, Colombia already knew that the resources and money they invested in could not be saved by the North American or English cultural circles alone. Even if you think about it with your ass, someone must be blamed for the failure of the film. The 120 million investment has been damaged, and Sony can be expected to have any good words.

The person in charge of the project was forced to do so, and could only rely on the law-related areas where the votes are expected to become more powerful, that is, Asian countries. As for China Film, I don't know what to think, maybe it has Jay Lun in it, and I think his fans will buy it, so they are happy to introduce it and give it to a lot of screens.

Then, it also started well, and it fell all the way. So far, it has not created a profit of 8 million US dollars. In addition to Colombia's disappointment, the responsibility for the failure must be borne by someone.

The Big Six management model is like this, and it is not uncommon for executives to lose their jobs because of KPI issues.

At present, two executives of Columbia Productions have resigned.

......

Some private conversations were exchanged.

Jon Feilermei put several thick financial documents in front of everyone.

Then, the accounting teams of several parties gathered around the table to make calculations.

Ryman flipped through it roughly. This is the $430,918,723 Lionsgate's "Breaking Dawn" created overseas, and the total regional box office status of the total is zero and one.

Since the standards for fares, activities, publicity, investment, and distribution of overseas products vary from place to place, and there are deviations from each other, the entire account after mixing it up is eye-catching.

Of course, the accounting team is only checking the accounts, and whether the deviation from the estimated target value is very small.
