It was a coincidence that Wang Meng happened to finish his work in Zhenbei Castle, and it was the end of May.

It is expected that "Painted Skin" will take another month and a half, and it will be completed in two months.

The rest needs to be completed in the studio, so Wang Meng doesn’t need to run around, and shooting in the Yuanmeng Studio is much easier.

Relaxation means relaxation in the body and feeling uncomfortable in the heart.

Wang Meng was also the first time filming in the studio. Fortunately, there are a group of Dream Special Effects. According to the Hollywood relevant personnel headed by Gu Gaoyi, they can help Wang Mengfu correct and give advice.

On May 23, Miller, the European manager of Hollywood Lionsgate, and several European theater dealers came to DreamWorks.

Wang Meng received them. These people had a cooperative relationship in "The Good Man in Three Gorges" and "This Man from Earth" and were familiar with each other.

When these people came, they conducted a simple survey of Wang Meng.

I found out... Wang Meng is not a simple person. The company's boss started from scratch and his assets are almost 100 million US dollars. He is definitely a rich man.

If capitalist countries such as Europe and the United States have money, they are the old men. These people feel that Wang Meng is at the level of "uncle".

"Hi. Wang, long time no see, you are still so handsome. I heard that you have become a rich man in China. Congratulations to your friend." Miller came up to give Wang Meng a big hug.

But Miller is a fat man, and he looks very funny when Wang Meng hugged him.

European theater dealers also greeted Wang Meng very enthusiastically.

In the conference room, a group of people held a negotiation, but it was nothing more than a share.

"Wang, you know, the maximum share of movies released in China in North America is 18%. This is a price that only famous directors can get. I can't accept your 25%."

Miller was unhappy when he heard that Wang Meng wanted a 25% percentage.

When Chinese movies are released in North America, the national teacher level can only get a 18% ratio, and more of them are buying out of three or two dates.

Wang Meng knew the energy of "Saw", so he naturally would not be willing to be 18%.

The share of North America is higher than that of domestic ones. If a large company has its own issuance channel, it can get a share of 45%-55%.

As far as domestically occurs, DreamWorks has no right to release, so every time a movie is released, they have to cooperate with Yu Dongsanye and others. Wang Meng's DreamWorks can only get a 35% share.

Now, after DreamWorks has expanded again, DreamWorks regards issuance rights as an important goal to achieve.

Only after obtaining the issuance right will the share ratio be from 35% to 45%-48%.

The previous DreamWorks had to pay a ratio of 10%-12% to the issuer, because they did not have the right to issue, and if they wanted to release, they had to share with the right to issue.

Yu Dong's company and Sanye have such rights, so the two of them have a lot of money in their previous works.

Any large company must have its own issuance rights after development, or give it a percentage of 10-12%.

Of course, anyone with the right to issue has a broad connection and publicity channel.

At the beginning of the period, Wang Meng's company did not have such strength, so he naturally had to find someone to cooperate with.

It’s different now. Wang Meng’s popularity, coupled with DreamWorks’ subsidiary “Mi Meng Media” and “Meng Zhuan Video”, are all promotional channels.

As for the theater company, Wang Meng has created a brand with several works. The theater company also wants to make money, and the most profitable film and television company now is Wang Meng’s Dream Factory.

Therefore, there is no need to deliberately contact us. Every time DreamWorks’ new film is released, many theater companies come to negotiate cooperation.

As for deliberately suppressing, haha... there are not many brainless people like this, and the environment in this life is not like the previous life. Naturally, there is no need to bet with people or even make a bloody plot stand out before it can be released.

I dare not say anything else. As long as Wang Meng said that "Painted Skin" will be released, then all the theaters in China will have eight out of ten.

It's stupid to be unable to get along with money.

Of course, Wang Meng is not a newcomer who can suppress anything at present. His influence is so powerful that ordinary people, ordinary people, even ordinary people, even ordinary people, will not dare to do so.

Therefore, at the beginning of this year, DreamWorks submitted the issuance rights to Radio and Television. It is expected that DreamWorks will reach the issuance rights in July of the Gregorian calendar.

"Painted Skin" just happened to be completed, and "Painted Skin" is the first film produced by DreamWorks to integrate hairstyles.

At that time, DreamWorks would receive a share of 45-48% of the film's box office.

And now...

Wang Meng proposed a 25% share ratio in North America, and Miller was unhappy when he heard this.

Chinese films are 18% in North America, and Wang Meng is 25% from the top. Isn’t that nonsense?

"Miller, tell me, how much do you give at most?" Wang Meng asked Miller when he knew it wouldn't be easy.

"Wang, we are friends, and I have also seen the prospect of "Saw", so I will give a 18% share ratio, which is the highest share ratio in your country at present."

Miller said.

Indeed! As he said.

Such a share ratio is what many domestic film and television companies currently dream of. Miller’s ratio is indeed his greatest tolerance for this.

It is also an exaggeration to say that the scope of tolerance is that why China has such a low proportion? It is not a domestic film that is becoming increasingly unsatisfactory.

If everyone makes money, there will naturally be more competition. If there is more competition, the share of achievements will increase.

What can you do! What can you do!

There are not many Chinese movies released in North America, and they make money. Since it is difficult to make money, there are naturally few who like to publish them. If there are fewer ones, the share ratio will naturally decrease.

This is a global difficulty, not something that Wang Meng can do at the moment.

Really, the only way is to bet like the bet mentioned in many books.

But... Any company that can be released or any big company, who will play like this? It is not necessary to bet with you.

Therefore, Wang Meng had to take out more chips, and in the future he would also rely on his own works to make money from these vampires from hairstyle vendors.

Only when they make money will they lower their heads to increase the proportion of you.

"Miller, it's different. You also saw how popular "Saw" is in Asia. Half of the actors in this film are Hollywood actors, so there is no concern that North American fans don't accept it. With the excellent plot, North American fans like this kind of film. I can say with certainty that making money is a certain amount. Man, the share you give now cannot be compared with other films in our country." Wang Meng said.

"Wang, I know, I know. So I didn't negotiate you so-called, but directly gave you the highest proportion. You can see my sincerity. Even if "Saw" is really profitable, if we opened this hole in the Lions Gate, do you know how much impact it will have on us? We don't want to be ridiculed by Hollywood, even if it makes money."

After Miller said this, Wang Meng was a fool if she didn't understand.

In short, if the Lionsgate increases its share ratio, it will break the rules, and the whole Hollywood will laugh at him.

Unless Wang Meng's "Saw" makes a lot of money, by the time of the next work, these so-called breaking rules will no longer exist. At that time, when you see a rich publisher, you will break the rules and cooperate by yourself.

It's still a prerequisite - make money.

Wang Meng is embarrassed by this. Domestic products are indeed not good at doing well. What else can you do?

"Miller, the 20% share ratio is my lowest requirement. You know, "Saw" is a very wonderful movie." Wang Meng said after thinking for a while.

"No... king..." Miller was about to speak!

"Listen to me..." Wang Meng interrupted and said, "You know, "Saw" is not a simple movie. There are at least two subsequent movies. As long as you agree, you will still be the publisher of the next two sequels. This can be written into the contract. Of course, we can negotiate the share of the next two, and each part will not increase by more than 5%. That is to say, even if the box office is out of date, I will only get a 25% percentage at most for the next movie and a 30% percentage for the third movie."

After Wang Meng said this, Miller hesitated. Obviously, according to his perspective, "Saw" is impossible to succeed. If he wins the distribution rights for the next two sequels, he will make more money.

"In addition, if the box office of the first movie is less than US$40 million, I will not increase the share of the two sequels in the next two. You know, how difficult this decision is."

Wang Meng had no choice but to use a bet that he thought was joking. The truth was that, what could it be.

However, compared to tens of millions, the increase is much better than tens of millions, and the increase is much better.

At least, Miller's expects "Saw" to get at least $20 million in North America, and 40 million seems to be high.

"Wang, I can consider it." Miller was convinced. Obviously, Wang Meng's promise was to make money with everyone.

"What about the issuance of DVD? I think we can buy out and give up to five million US dollars." Miller said.

"No, no, no. Miller, I'm not a fool, you're not a good person. NC-level movies, especially horror movies like this, know that peripheral audio-visual DVDs are the big ones, and I can't buy them out. I want a 40% share. You have ten years of sales rights. Within ten years, according to the 60% share ratio of Hollywood within ten years, you can get 20% of net income, including the next two sequels." Wang Meng said with a smile.

"No, no, we will give you a maximum of 30% of the surrounding area."

"My minimum requirement is 35%, otherwise there is nothing I can do." Wang Meng was very determined.

Miller thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "Wang, you won, you rich people like to be so petty."

"Haha..., I have a large group of people to support, you know." Wang Meng smiled.

"Then, Wang, you must have an investment in North America's publicity. For example, the publicity fee we mentioned is 5 million US dollars, you will have to pay at least 3 million US dollars in publicity."

"Impossible, at most, $2.5 million in publicity."

"Wang, you can't be without compromise at all."

"Miller, my movie is excellent, worthy of this price, and I think we still have a long way to go with it."

"Wang, at least I don't make any money at the moment, that's the future."

"Miller, your Lions Gate's courage is what I value most, otherwise you wouldn't bargain with me here. I think our cooperation will only take Lions Gate a step further. What you know is a magic movie, which is very consistent with your taste."

"Okay, the reason why I compromised like this is indeed because I am interested in your new film and the future. I have to say, Wang, you are very confident and you won."

"Haha... Miller believes me, we will make a lot of money and have a happy cooperation."

"Wang, happy cooperation."

Both of them are like old foxes, with seemingly amiable scenes, with people compromising every step and people failing every step.

Of course, it is too much to say that failure is just within the acceptable range, just a little lower.

After the bargaining with Miller ended, Wang Mengyou started to fully open her hair with the victory he got from Miller in Hollywood.
