The two-in-one chapter, the second and third updates are posted together, so I owe you three updates.

Thank you to Crazy Butterfly and Zhu Laomi for the reward. It will be no more than 3rd tomorrow. When it is on the shelves the day after tomorrow, it will be a day before it is released. It is painful to have no manuscripts stored... I was crying and asked for recommendation votes!

——

Netizens and media participated in the discussion, and also made headlines on many websites and media.

Many film critics and experts have expressed their opinions on this matter, and Roger Albert, the super critic of the Chicago Sun Daily, is one of them.

He did not go to New York to attend the New York Film Festival, so he could not see "The Little Sunshine Beauty" as soon as possible.

However, he saw some reviews from his friends and online, and at least he felt that his reputation was good.

With the two films "Buried Live" and "Super Burger King", he is very optimistic about Chen Tian's directorial career.

For this reason, he also published an article in his column titled "Justin Chen Future Powerful Director", which analyzed Chen Tian's director, screenwriter and the production cost control ability of the final film.

Chen Tian was subdivided from many aspects, and finally gave Chen Tian a strong director who could gain a place in Hollywood in the future.

But when he heard Chen Tian’s appointment with 20th Century Fox for about $100 million at the New York Film Festival, he shook his head directly.

In his heart, Chen Tian was too confident this time. He never doubted that Chen Tian could one day shoot a film made 100 million or even larger, but as Chen Tian himself thought, this required a cumulative process.

Currently, Chen Tian is a small production, and the difference between small production and large production is too big. The more important thing is that Chen Tian agreed to this agreement.

This made him feel that Chen Tian’s mind was not very mature, and he was even worried that Chen Tian would be a little inflated because of "Buried Live", "Super Burger King" and even "The Little Sunshine Beauty".

A person can be confident, but he must not be overconfident, because being overconfident means being conceited.

Roger Albert's attitude was relatively gentle, and the purpose was to hope that Chen Tian would become better, but this agreement was a bit too impulsive and hasty.

Most of the media are cynical and even belittled.

"Justin Chen would be an excellent director, but a 100 million big production. Sorry, I think it's still a bit difficult for him to complete, and I don't think it should be too reckless to make decisions sometimes.

Once this film fails, all the reputation he has accumulated will be destroyed and his directorial career will be greatly affected."

“The self-confidence-blown Justin Chen and David Ellison, who is not money at all, collided with each other, is equivalent to burning money.

20th Century Fox must be secretly happy because they got a great publicity for free.”

...

Alice and Roger, who left the Lincoln Center screening room of the New York Film Festival, also heard about this, and they are staunch supporters of Chen Tian.

However, there are too few such advocates, and most of them are looking forward to Chen Tian and David Ellison becoming laughing stocks across the United States.

When the fruit candy in the small screening hall is approaching its end, Matthew Lunt announced that the title of this film was initially set to "Operation Smith", and the specific title of the film will be announced in the future.

It was also announced that the heroine of the film was confirmed as Angelina Jolie, the hero had initially locked in Brad Pitt, and the director was Doug Reeman, the director of "The Spy".

Brad Pitt will attract countless female fans, while Angelina Jolie will attract countless male fans. The two super sexy superstar partners are enough to make countless people look forward to it.

"You can see everything you want to see in it. This will be a well-made action movie. We will spend a year building it and making it a boutique." Matthew Lunt was full of confidence in the face of reporters.

Without 20th Century Fox's own publicity, the media took the initiative to participate in the publicity after Matthew Lunt announced the film cast.

Because either Angelina Jolie and Brand Pitt are enough to get them to scramble to report, let alone two of them together.

There were even gossip tabloids who revealed Brad Pitt’s wife, and superstar Jennifer Aniston was dissatisfied with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s collaboration, and even expressed concern.

Chen Tian and David Ellison acted as supporting roles in these reports when referring to the film "Operation Smith", which in the eyes of 99:9% of people, this was a one-sided confrontation.

In the small screening room, Hailey, played by Jennifer Lawrence, crossed the wall, and a list of crew members appeared on the ending song screen.

Soon the lights in the screening hall lit up again. Although David Ellison had experienced it at the filming site and knew that the castration plot was fake, he was still scared by the castration plot in the play and was sweating in a cold sweat.

Eric Lomis and Harvey Weinstein are also not much better, while Megan Ellison and Anne Hathaway, two women present, seem to be still savoring the video.

"Justin, I don't know how to say it. Just from the film, this is an excellent thriller and suspense film. Jeff thinks he is a hunter, and Haley thinks so too, and Jeff ends up becoming Haley's prey.

The film is commendable from the beginning to the end, and I can foresee it will cause a sensation." Eric Lomis looked at Chen Tian, ​​"but it will also cause a lot of controversy."

"I know the castration plot will cause controversy. In fact, the market targeted by this film is mainly women. It is not terrible to have controversy, but the terrible thing is that there is no controversy, right?

The women's market is equally strong. If I can win it over, I think this video shouldn't be too bad."

Harvey Weinstein laughed: "Justin, it's not supposed to be, but for sure, but the release of this film may affect your image in the hearts of male fans. If it is to be released, I suggest you better do PR in advance.

For example, promote the horror of such men's pathological thoughts, and issue some investigations on some forums or websites, and then launch some employment to guide mainstream views.

Even if you cannot guide you successfully, you must make some of them go from opposition to support, which may be much better.”

Harvey Weinstein's suggestion is exactly in line with Chen Tian's own ideas. He originally thought so. If there was no early vaccination, the release of this film would indeed affect his future film performance.

After all, male fans still dominate the current film market. If the support of male fans is completely lost because of this film, it will be more than worth it.

"I fully agree with Harvey's suggestion, so let's talk about how to cooperate specifically? Let's talk about "The Little Sunshine Beauty" first, OK?" Eric Lomis asked.

"Now that Harvey is involved, we become a tripartite cooperation. Harvey takes 10% of the box office, and I want to get 20% of the box office, and 20% of the revenue such as DVD and Blu-ray discs."

Chen Tian put forward his own request, and this division protocol can only be seen from the numbers that it is not a small number.

"It's all box office revenue, not net revenue, right?" Eric Lomis asked.

If you really agree to such a share agreement, it is indeed not a small amount at a time.

The net box office revenue was almost entirely given to Harvey Weinstein and Chen Tian, ​​so MGM could earn almost only TV on demand and video tape disc revenue.

Although the profits of these two parts are large, he is somewhat worried that other employees of the company will not be able to agree to the agreement.

Harvey Weinstein, who was standing by, lamented Chen Tian’s big appetite. He was a producer and naturally knew what the normal price of this circle was.

When facing a large production costing hundreds of millions of yuan, a great director can get a prepayment of $5 million to $10 million in advance.

Then you can also get 5%-8% of the portion of the video revenue after deducting 15% of the distribution fee, and the level of the share ratio depends on the film's revenue level.

If the final video fails to exceed the breakeven point, the share ratio is 5%, and if it exceeds, it will be divided into 8% from the exceeded part.

As for directors with average income such as DVDs, their share ratio will not exceed 5%.

Moreover, these shareholdings were established after deducting the issuance fee, while Chen Tian proposed pure box office revenue.

Even if this film is solely owned by Chen Tian, ​​this share ratio is enough to surprise Harvey Weinstein.

"Yes, Eric, I know this share protocol is a bit difficult, maybe I can choose a one-increment share protocol.

On the basis of 20% of DVDs and other income, I will get 10% of the box office in the United States that exceeds 50 million.

If it exceeds 100 million US dollars, I will get 20%. However, no matter how much the overseas box office is, I only need 10%. As for the TV income, I don’t need the other 8 million US dollars I don’t need.

But I need MGM to get ahead of time. I will be deducted from the subsequent income, but MGM needs to bear other expenses."

Eric Lomis thought for a moment: "What if it's less than 50 million?"

"That way I just need to give me 10 million costs and it's OK."

Chen Tian's words made everyone take a breath of air conditioning. The cost of just taking the cost is equivalent to Chen Tian's total busyness this time and he made a wedding dress for MGM.

Even if the box office is less than 50 million, Eric Lomis believes that the final total revenue will not be a loss.

MGM only needs to spend money, no matter how much it is, it will not exceed $10 million.

This means that as long as the box office is only 50 million, MGM will get 10 or 20 million or more in vain.

Eric Lomis mainly hurt the box office of the films released in the past two years, and there are almost no movies with a box office of more than 50 million, so he thought so.

“Justin, if so, I can agree with your proposal.

If Harvey is ultimately successful in nominating the Oscar, you will receive an additional $3 million from MGM.

If you win the award after the nomination, you will be given $5 million in the main award, and the remaining awards will be $1 million."

"Eric, I don't make any sense." Harvey Weinstein shrugged.

"It seems that you have reached an agreement on the little sunny beauty, so it's time to "Hard Fruit Candy" next? Justin, you know my request, it's OK if you tell me it." David Ellison said with a smile.

He didn't care at all about how much this video could get. 500,000 US dollars was too little in his eyes. What he was thinking about now was a PK with 20th Century Fox.

Now that the whole of the United States knows what David Ellison said, he doesn't want to be embarrassed in the end.

Even if he spent 200 million US dollars to lose money, he didn't care. All he wanted was to shoot the video perfectly.

In the end, in "Fruit Hard Candy", Chen Tian and MGM reached a similar share agreement.

The starting point of North America's box office share is from 20 million US dollars to Chen Tian and 2.5% to David Ellison.

The box office reached 50 million, and 10% was distributed to Chen Tian and David Ellison 5%.

If it can exceed 100 million US dollars, Chen Tian will get 20%, and David Ellison will get 10%.

However, while Chen Tian gave up on TV on demand, he gave up his share of overseas box office revenue, and proposed a requirement of 15% of the share of DVD market revenue and David Ellison to get 10%.

Whether it is "The Little Beauty of Sunshine" or "Hard Fruit Candy", the share agreement between the two films far exceeds the share agreement between the vast majority of films.

"This is our second and third collaboration. I hope we can still work together in the next video with a happy cooperation." Eric Lomis said with a smile.

"Justin, David, now I feel it is necessary to talk about your agreement with Fox. Honestly, it is not easy to hit them, and..."

Harvey Weinstein didn't say it clearly, but Chen Tian knew what he meant.

"Harvey, I know your concerns, so I proposed that we will start shooting at this time next year, so I still have a year to improve, and my shooting plan for the next year is already there."

Anne Hathaway naturally hopes that she can become the heroine of a $100 million film, but she knows that this idea is not realistic.
