It's no wonder Aunt Wen was tricked by Lin Nianhe, as there was no similar precedent to reference before.
The profit-sharing ratio proposed by Lin Nianhe was actually based on the future ratios between movie theaters, distributors, and producers, and she even took a bit more.
She wasn't sure whether the movie would be a hit, but she never engaged in one-off transactions—
If it succeeded, she'd feel terrible and upset, feeling like she had lost a hundred million;
If it failed, she'd still be distressed and upset, because it would be difficult to sell the next movie.
Anyway, she wouldn't narrow her own path.
With such a revenue share, it seemed like she and Sie Yufei would only get one penny per movie ticket, but the film itself had a low cost, including equipment wear down to at most two thousand dollars.
Selling twenty thousand tickets would break even.
If they couldn't sell... she would afford the loss, Lin Nianhe could afford it.
