Chapter 162 Accounting Standards
If "Bad Guy" wants to enter the Chinese market, he naturally has to abide by other people's rules.
According to Han Cheng, in the movie, some frontal close-ups of Nicholas Cage's fight scene in the elevator were deleted, and Tom Cruise shot Kate Beckinsale to avoid the frontal shots. Later, Heath Ledger's actions and Tom Cruise's actions to get ahead also had to delete some scenes. Apart from that, nothing was left.
After hearing the specific request, Lehman said, "Yes." His readily agreed also made the film purchasing team of China Film very happy.
After all, if they are unwilling to delete, they will have no choice but to give up the idea of introducing screenings.
"What about the details? Let's talk about agency distribution..." Then, Han Cheng talked about the regulations on account sharing of films in China Film.
This time he never thought about releasing "Bad Guys" in the form of a buy-out copyright, although the former could make them more profitable.
The reason is very simple, and there are not enough places. This method only allows China Film and Television to introduce about 15 movies each, and can be distributed separately by one party. Such a convenient method will naturally be completed from the beginning.
Moreover, buying out copyright is usually to buy movies that have been released for a long time, which will be lower. However, "Bad Guy" is only the premiere of Cannes, and of course it is not the first choice.
Next, the two sides negotiated on cooperation issues. Both sides were more sincere and the negotiations went smoothly.
After a while, the related problems were solved.
The share conditions given by China Film Group are that Europa Film Group can get a 13% share of the box office revenue of the film "Bad Guys". (ps: This ratio is dead. Foreign film companies have no choice as long as they want to enter the Chinese market.)
The ratio of 13% is naturally very strict, especially compared with the general international distribution standards (35% producers, 17% publishers, and 48% theaters and theaters). However, with the idea of making a lot of money as long as they can be screened, George and Lehman were quite satisfied.
If you are not satisfied, you can’t resist the rules. If there is a rule, it is still a rule set by a country and you can’t resist it.
However, Hollywood has always been dissatisfied with this ratio. By 2012, the share ratio was added to 25% of the total box office revenue through ruling.
It's always a matter of selling yourself, just don't be too miserable.
Moreover, in response to this phenomenon, the concept of "co-production film" has been developed.
For example, the "Great Wall" co-produced by China and the United States, and the "Wolf Totem" co-produced by China and France, these co-produced films can enjoy the treatment of domestic films if they are released in China. There is no quota limit, the accounting ratio is reasonable, and they can even enjoy the support of relevant policies.
The only point is that the copyright must be allocated to China, and the shooting conditions are also very strict.
For joint shooting like this, those who need to hire overseas creators must be approved by ****, and the proportion of foreign main actors shall not exceed two-thirds of the total number of main actors. After the shooting is completed, the producer needs to send the video to the radio and television department for review. Only after passing the qualification can he get the dragon logo for corresponding release work.
However, as long as it is successful, it can get a 43% profit ratio of the producer and the publisher. (I will talk about it myself in detail, but at least the proportion of the score account is higher. This is also the country encourages this aspect to implement it and reduce the pressure on foreign blockbusters on their own market.)
Every country with a little say has this way of resisting Hollywood movies invading the market. Oh, you say Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Australia, that's all right, the international status is pretty good, but you don't have any ideas to do anything. If you have it, just a red card to warn, who dares to be presumptuous.
Stains are a bit miserable...
......
"Happy cooperation." Han Cheng took the initiative to extend his hand and said.
After the negotiations were completed, the group was in a very good mood.
"Happy cooperation." Leman smiled and shook hands.
"If there is no problem, we will be able to be released in early June after deletion and then submitted for review and will be eligible for screening."
"Yeah, understand." George also spoke.
"Then let it be. I wish you all a happy time. We have something to do, so let's leave first." Han Cheng said goodbye.
Seeing the people from China Film Festival leave, Lehman also sighed, "It's the first time, they came to look for it."
By the way, Lehman has made four movies. Except for "Three Idiots Make a Fight for Bollywood", it was regarded as a film criticism and bought out the distribution rights and gave it to China Film Academy, but it has not been arranged to be released yet. In addition, there is no need to think about the remaining "Buried Alive" and "Raging". The quota is limited and others look down on it.
"It's a good start," George continued: "Lyman, I'll leave first, and I have to deal with the release of "Bad Guy" in France."
"Go and go."
George is really aspiring to be a career. He rarely sees him free time. He either runs here or there every day, and he doesn't know if he will be tired.
After thinking about it for a while, Lehman walked along the periphery of the beach.
He didn't ask Eva Green to come. After all, if you want to deal with business, you will definitely neglect her. Instead of letting her wander around at the banquet alone, there is no need for that.
The sand is very delicate, and it is very comfortable to take off your shoes and step on it. Looking at the dark sea in the distance, and looking at the people carnival nearby, I don’t want to participate in it inexplicably.
Sometimes, it's good to be alone.
I am enjoying this comfort, but there are always people who are disturbing me inappropriately.
"Director Lehman."
Hearing the hello, Lehman turned his head and saw Sophie Marceau coming.
As I approached, I had a faint fragrance on my body. I don’t know what brand of perfume I used. I could just buy Eva Green a bottle, it smells so good.
"Congratulations to your film for winning the jury award." She was also so polite.
"Thank you." Of course, Lehman is the same.
How can two people who have only met once? They can't chat without being polite.
"I've been to the movies and they've been very good." She continued to find the topic. Since Lehman invited her to make a movie that day, she has been a little concerned. After going to the cinema to watch the main film of "Bad Guy", this kind of thinking has become more and more obvious.
As an actor, I always hope to perform well, especially for people like her who have some pursuits.
"You haven't handed over your schedule yet," Lehman asked again.
"No."
"That happens that my script is about to be completed. I can wait a while before you can take the time to take a look."
"Yeah, OK."
"Oh, by the way, what brand of perfume do you use?"
"Dio." Sophie Marceau was surprised and replied.
"Thank you." After that, he turned around and left.
Chapter completed!
