for Advance Chapter
Anyway, bragging is not taxable, and if it can really replicate the success of the Thor series and the Avengers, this valuation is not outrageous, and it is even seriously underestimated.
However, the copyright and some of the leading actors must be in Wu Mingxuan's hands, and he would not give up such a project.
"What is the minimum investment for the first part?"
"If you are willing to give up the box office dividend, 130 million US dollars should be enough to make it. If you are confident in the box office, I suggest you pay 50 million US dollars as the salary. After all, you all know that it is not cheap to hire both of them at the same time."
Wu Mingxuan did not need to remind him of this, and the third master and his friends knew it themselves. But they also knew the terrifying appeal of these two kung fu superstars co-starring in a movie. Even if they were randomly filmed, the global box office would at least start at 200 million US dollars. If the box office dividends were calculated, the risk was indeed not great.
After smoking cigars, the group of people at the dinner table were talking about Wu Mingxuan's magical adaptation of Journey to the West, "The Monkey King". This is definitely an invincible idea that is far beyond this era, especially for the mainland which has not yet experienced the destruction of Marvel, it is even more shocking.
Bai Bing and Li Qin now also admire Wu Mingxuan to death. This man is really too talented. He can easily create a classic that shocks the entire industry and even the entire world. It is just a matter of words for him to promote people. No wonder he is known as a genius director who appears once every thirty years. As expected,
the world of geniuses is different from that of ordinary people. They are completely on a different thinking point, but you have to admire the imagination of these geniuses. It is really that an idea can overturn the entire industry.
Wang Zhongjun is now also very fortunate, otherwise when Wu Mingxuan sets up his own business or reaches a cooperation with others, this will definitely be the most terrible enemy.
Although he is not sure whether this project can succeed, if it succeeds, it can support a super series of any of the six major Hollywood studios. Just as Wu Mingxuan said, this is the Star Wars of the Chinese entertainment industry.
"Okay, let's stop here for today. I don't know the time. I'm going to go back and rest. Screenwriting and creation are very brain-intensive.
Third Master Wang, you should think about it carefully. Later, I and Emperor Entertainment Group will definitely invest money. The actual share that can be given is only 35%, so it is not that risky for you."
Wu Mingxuan will definitely not give up the copyright. For the first part, he would rather take the copyright plus the screenwriter and director to get dividends, rather than directly use the copyright to invest. After the first part is successful, I will tell you what it means to show off to the sky.
Under Wu Mingxuan's kind reminder, the third master quickly realized that not all of it would be given to them, but only 35%. They were mainly investing money, which was a bit sad, but Wu Mingxuan also made sense.
The investment in this project was so large, and the participants were not only from the mainland, and it was definitely inseparable from the team and technical support from Hong Kong, so such multi-party cooperation was actually reasonable.
Wang Zhongjun immediately asked Wu Mingxuan, "How much money do we have to invest for that 35%?"
"500 million, this is the bottom line, but we can give priority to guaranteeing your return on investment, mainly in terms of profitability. You should understand this.
We will make less money, but we guarantee that you will make money. If the movie is a big hit, this one alone will make more than what you have made in several years combined. This is the charm of blockbusters."
Hearing that they also guarantee a return on investment first, isn't that almost risk-free?
Jackie Chan and Jet Li, not to mention many other stars, such a lineup will cost more than 200 million US dollars to sell the movie, especially the disc market and movie copyrights, it is simply making crazy money.
"No problem, I'll make the decision. We at China Film will invest this money."
Wang Zhongjun was about to stop him, but it was too late. He could only ask the question that Wu Mingxuan had been avoiding just now: "What about the copyright of the Monkey King series?"
"Of course it's mine. If I didn't create it, could I rely on those good-for-nothings under your command?
I wrote the script, directed the cast, and prepared. Considering my copyright, and the various connections in the middle, it's not too much for me to take 8% of the film copyright income, right?
Since Big Brother and Jie Ge starred in the film for free, it's reasonable to give them 5% of the global box office each. Otherwise, everyone will be in trouble. You have to pay more, and the risk will be much greater. The income from the film copyright is the key, and the box office is only a part of it. This can enter Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. "
Master Han nodded vigorously after listening, and Wang Zhongjun had a look of regret. If he had known, he would not have fooled Master San to come. Now the most critical copyright is left by Wu Mingxuan, who is really smart and slippery.
Wu Mingxuan did not mention not to take advantage of the box office of Wu Shuang. He believed that Master San would handle it well. Otherwise, he could not let him break all the box office records in the mainland. The impact of "The Monkey King" would naturally be much worse.
Two kung fu superstars plus a genius director who just set a new box office record, how could the audience not rush to the cinema like crazy?
Li Qin naturally hurriedly followed Wu Mingxuan and left with him. She didn't dare to stay here any longer. She never dreamed that Li Xiaowan, her godmother, would leave directly after sending her here.
After getting in the car, Wu Mingxuan looked directly at Li Qin and asked, "This is the second time. Why do I always see you in such occasions every time? Have you not suffered enough or do you like to use this method to gain attention?"
"No, I didn't want to come. My godmother lied to me. She said she would thank you in person, but she left me alone there. I didn't want this either."
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, Wu Mingxuan directly lifted her face and wiped her tears with his thumb and said, "In that case, why bother with her? Why not be my goddaughter? It seems that I haven't even adopted a goddaughter yet."
"What? I want to be your goddaughter, Brother Xuan? That's not appropriate, right? You're not even one generation older than me!"
Bai Bing on the side was really defeated by Li Qin's innocence. This was such a rare opportunity. If Wu Mingxuan was willing to accept her as his goddaughter, even if there was only a four or five year age difference between them, she would happily agree. Only a fool would refuse.
"This is normal. Godfather and goddaughter look at the difference in status and identity, not the difference in age. I know Li Xiaowan. She's a famous old duck in the circle. Why bother with her? From now on, you have to listen to me, your godfather. With me around, no one can bully you."
"But I still have an agency contract with god...her, and now I'm the young Xue Baochai, which is the leading role within the top five."
"You know Bai Bing, right? She's still the adult version of Xue Baochai, a genuine second female lead. If you sign a contract with me now, you can quit directly. It's up to you. If you don't want to recognize me as your godfather, I will send you back to the crew now."
