After leaving the bathroom, Lin Shu saw an acquaintance walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Weng, we haven't seen each other for a while. You are looking so happy. Did something good happen?"

"Hey, what good things have happened to me! It's your good things, brother!"

Weng Li's answer made Lin Shu even more confused. He was very sure that the other party was not talking about the box office exceeding 200 million, but other than this, what other good things could he do?

"Ah? Didn't Director Han tell you?"

Why is this related to Han Sanping again? Could it be that the good thing is that he is willing to continue to cooperate with China Film Group? There is no need for Weng Li to come and talk about this.

"You really don't know? Forget it, let me tell you this! Lionsgate Entertainment in the beautiful country is interested in the overseas distribution rights of Sherlock. A few days ago, it quoted 10 million US dollars. At that time

Because you are not here, Director Han rejected them."

"Now that Sherlock's box office has exceeded 200 million, Lionsgate's quotation can only go up. Director Han made an appointment with them to continue the discussion tomorrow, and specifically asked me to inform you that you will be there tomorrow!"

Got it, Lin Shu understood everything instantly!

At present, in addition to the distribution of theater box office revenue, the revenue of movies also includes overseas distribution and offline TV broadcasts. In the future, when copyright awareness increases, there will also be online copyrights.

Most of these profits belong to the film producer, which is Lin Shu's personal studio. Now the overseas copyright has a minimum guarantee of 10 million U.S. dollars. There will also be income from TV broadcasts. The combined income of the two is probably close to hundreds of millions.

Ah!

No wonder Han Sanping agreed so readily just now. If the sequel to Sherlock is released in the summer, the box office will most likely be higher than the previous one.

Even if the movie's revenue is average, as long as you include the revenue from overseas distribution and TV broadcasts, China Film Group will still make a steady profit!

Awesome! You really deserve to be a veteran!

"Brother Weng, please tell Third Master that I will be there on time tomorrow! In addition, I will bring the script of the sequel tomorrow. Let's discuss it and sign the joint production contract by the way!"

Lin Shu said with a normal expression. Weng Li didn't feel there was any problem, so he just went back to find Han Sanping to recover.

Lin Shu not only did not feel any dissatisfaction with Han Sanping's methods, but actually admired him in his heart.

After he returned to the capital on the 2nd, he went into seclusion to write scripts, with the purpose of attracting the attention of the CEOs of film and television companies. In addition, his proposal of 50 million yuan, accounting for 50% of the film investment, was also an attempt to increase admission.

The price directly makes the other party money.

Both moves were noticed by Han Sanping, but he also recognized them. Now he used a small move, which could only be regarded as a courtesy. If Lin Shu got angry because of this, the pattern would be too small.

When Lin Shu returned to the hall, he found that some people had already left. Seeing this, he did not intend to stay any longer.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu first went to Wang Kai's circle to say hello, and then went to Han Sanping to say goodbye.

"Third Master, the celebration banquet is almost over, so I will go back first. I will go to China Film to see you tomorrow."

"Go ahead, there will be a lot of things tomorrow, so get there early!"

Seeing that there was no trace of dissatisfaction on Lin Shu's face, Han Sanping couldn't help but think more highly of this young man. Although there are not many people who are scheming and powerful, there are also quite a few.

What is really missing is that after having the first two items, you can still have a broad mind. In Han Sanping's eyes, Lin Shu already possesses these three things, and the young man's future is limitless.

……

On the 10th, it was still chilly in Beijing in early spring.

After having breakfast at the hotel, Lin Shu took his briefcase directly to the China Film Headquarters.

After arriving in a familiar office and sitting down, Lin Shu took the tea from Han Sanping and drank it in one sip. The coldness in his body was directly driven to his lower body.

"The way you drink is just a waste! Fortunately, you are still a Shanghainese, and you are not particular about it at all!"

Han Sanping blamed him, but the tone of his words was not harsh at all. On the contrary, these words made him feel more intimate than when he got along with Lin Shu before.

Lin Shu was not embarrassed when he heard what he said, "Third Master, no matter how good the tea is, you must have leisure and elegance to taste it! I ran over here so early in the morning, I was frozen and my mouth was hot.

It’s good, why do you care about its taste?”

"Okay, now that we're here, let's get down to business!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to get down to business, Lin Shu immediately stopped feeling cold. We talked about a lot of things today, including the sequel script, the first share of the box office, and the overseas distribution rights that Weng Li mentioned yesterday.

.

Every item here is related to Lin Shu's immediate income, but it cannot be vague at all.

"Third Master, do you think we should talk about dollars first?"

In Han Sanping's eyes, Lin Shu's eyes had turned into dollar bills. This made him discover another characteristic of Lin Shu, he loves money!

"Aren't we going to talk about the script for the sequel? Let's talk about dollars first?" Han Sanping asked with a smile.

"There's no rush for the script, it's just in my bag! Let's talk about dollars first. You don't know, I have been unable to make ends meet during this period. If I don't make any money, I will go to the streets to beg for food!"

Asking for food is naturally an exaggeration, but Lin Shu's request for money is true. According to the time, this first box office payment should have arrived. As a producer and distributor, asking for money is a reasonable thing.

"Okay, since you want to talk about dollars now, let's talk about dollars. Weng Li is meeting with the Lions Gate representative upstairs. I believe there will be a result soon. Let's wait for him."

Hearing this, Lin Shu also knew that he was anxious just now, so he stopped talking and just drank tea quietly and waited for Weng Li to come over.

About 20 minutes later, Weng Li, who had already obtained the results, knocked on the door of the office. After getting Han Sanping's permission, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Tell me, our Director Lin is very eager to know how much money he can have."

Lin Shu completely ignored Han Sanping's teasing. He just stared at Weng Li, hoping to get a nice number from him.

"Director Han and Lionsgate representatives made a new offer for Sherlock. In the end, they proposed to buy out the film distribution rights in Europe, America, and Australia for US$12 million. They also specifically proposed that they hope to cooperate with Lin Shu

Let’s talk.”

"With me? Why?"

Lin Shu was very sure that he had never known anyone from Lions Gate in his entire life, and now that the other party wanted to talk to him by name, this was extremely abnormal.

Han Sanping, who was sitting next to him, was also very surprised, and immediately he cast doubtful eyes on Weng Li.

"It's like this. According to people at Lions Gate, Lin Shu's promotional video uploaded on Youtube has been viewed 1 billion times."

"This move has given Sherlock a certain degree of popularity in Europe and the United States, which is why they raised the price to 12 million."

It turns out that this is what happened! After putting the video on Youtube, Lin Shu stopped taking care of it. Who would have thought that it would burst out with such huge energy in more than a month?

"It's a pity that there is still such a thing. If China Film had distribution channels for European and American movies, then this project would not have to be sold out to Lionsgate!"

Han Sanping shook his head and said with great pity.

"Third Master, that's not necessarily the case!" Facing Han Sanping's doubtful gaze, Lin Shu said quietly: "We can sell out the first part to them, and even after the first part achieves success at the European and American box office, the second part

The overseas distribution rights of the film can also be sold. But after that, we can talk about the sequel."
Chapter completed!
