Legendary Hollywood Producer

Roman thought about it all night, so that he didn't feel much energy when he got up the next day.

After washing, Roman walked down the stairs. Uncle Shulman was already sitting underneath, with a newspaper in his hand. Seeing Roman come down, Shulman raised his head, smiled and said hello, "Good morning, Roman, did you sleep well last night?"

"To be honest, Uncle Shulman, I didn't rest well last night, I was thinking about something." Roman shook his head and said.

"Still thinking about the channel?" Shulman asked suspiciously.

"No, I'm thinking about you, Uncle Shulman."

"Me? What's the matter? Roman."

"Don't Uncle Shulman want to know his treatment?"

Shulman smiled, "Child, you don't have to do this, I don't care about this, I'm very satisfied with your father's treatment of me."

"But Uncle Rohrmann, Manhai Entertainment has successfully taken the first step. I want to give you more. My father gave it to my father. This cannot be confused." Rohmann said seriously. He thought last night. After a long time, the idea has been very clear.

"Uncle Rollman, I want to give you 30% of Manhai Entertainment's shares."

Shulman was a little unhappy when he heard this, "Roman, you can't do this. If your father gave me 40% of the shares in Dolph Entertainment, I can accept it, it is because I and your father The company built from scratch has my hard work in it, so I can accept it with peace of mind, but this company, I have not paid anything, its success is the ability of you and your father, it has nothing to do with me, mine My conscience told me that I couldn’t accept it. At the beginning, your father insisted that I accept 5% of the shares. Relationship, so it’s not necessary to do so."

"But the channel needs..." Roman just wanted to say, and Shulman said again, "The channel can be done by anyone, because you have succeeded, Roman, if you have the funds to do so, it is nothing more than spending. Money, it’s not difficult.” Shulman said with a serious face, “Don’t hurt our relationship, Roman, we are relatives, but it doesn’t mean you need to give something, it will only make us Alienated from time to time, listen to me, Roman, it’s good to keep it like this."

"But 5 percent is still too low. It is because I understand our relationship that I want to do this, Uncle Shulman."

"Then I have to pay for this company to be qualified to talk about this, Roman, and being too aggressive in business is a big taboo. I can't see you making these mistakes."

Looking at Uncle Shulman who persisted, Roman had nothing to do. He had no choice but not to talk about shares, but only about salary, which was regarded as a normal personnel arrangement, and Uncle Shulman finally did not resist. In the end, Shulman joined Manhai Entertainment with an annual salary of 700,000 yuan as the head of the publishing department and the company's vice president. This is what Roman tried to talk about. According to Uncle Schulman’s intention, just give him 10,000 a month. Of course, Roman refused. This is not in line with the treatment of a department manager and vice president of an entertainment company with a normal income. In addition to the annual salary, he also enjoys the company’s annual revenue. 12% of the received will be used as a dividend. After the negotiation, Uncle Shulman joined the establishment of the Manhai entertainment channel after having breakfast.

In the office of Manhai Entertainment, Roman is discussing how to use the money with Mie. Because today Sony has paid over 27 million US dollars in overseas copyright fees, and a copy of the movie "Small Town Zombie" has also been sent to the UK for distribution by Dolf Entertainment.

"The company keeps 7 million in reserve, and other operations are standardized according to the contract. We have to share with the financiers." Although "Small Zombie" has been offline from North American theaters, the money will not be recovered all at once. The theater will first After cutting the profits with the publisher, Dimen Pictures, Dimen Pictures and Manhai Entertainment will divide the profits. According to the contract, after removing the theater’s share and various taxes, there is still US$31 million left, and 35% of the North American box office (this is calculated after excluding the theater revenue, the theater is about 45%). The cost of 12.32 million, and 18.68 million U.S. dollars go to Manhai Entertainment, this money will gradually arrive in Manhai Entertainment's account this month.

In addition, although "Zombie Town" has been released, it can also be authorized to sell DVDs, video tapes, and licenses to TV stations.

All of them are operated by Dimen Pictures. According to the contract, Dimen Pictures will draw 20% and derivatives 50%.

When Dimen Pictures only spent less than US$4 million, it earned US$22 million from "Small Town Zombie". It can be said to be a huge profit, and there is no need to take any risks. It is really good to do business.

Since December 10, Dimen Pictures has paid various shares to Manhai Entertainment. In the end, a total of 33.5 million U.S. dollars went to Manhai Entertainment’s account. The delivery can be completed within half a month. The reason for continuing to cooperate with Roman, otherwise this kind of box office profit splitting will be absolutely fine for a few months.

Excluding the production cost of the movie, Manhai Entertainment makes almost the same money as Dimen Pictures. This makes Roman even more aware of the importance of a channel that belongs to him, so it also speeds up the pace of establishing a channel and acquired it in one breath. Several small film distributors have channels that have completely covered most of the states in North America, and the rest is to integrate resources.

According to the investment ratio of 33.5 million US dollars, Manhai Entertainment took the 10.05 million US dollars first. After deducting some miscellaneous things, there is still 22 million US dollars, plus 17 million US dollars for overseas copyrights (some taxes and fees are deducted) A total of 39 million U.S. dollars were returned to mainland investors. In other words, they made a profit of 29 million US dollars in less than 6 months with 10 million US dollars, which is definitely a huge profit investment. Roman didn't think that he would cheat these investors too much. Otherwise, the people who united with Emperor Gate Pictures could definitely make the profit of this film a loss. But Roman doesn't want to do this. It's too ugly to eat like that. There is no need to make it like that. The trick is only at the beginning, and what is going to happen later, it doesn't matter how much it earns. Roman has his own style of life. It can only be said that it is the blessing of investors. The movie has exploded, so they can make as much as they can. Roman does not bother to do tricks and share a little profit. It is nothing to do in the future. This is Roman's confidence. Besides, these are all It's half of his own family, and Roman still wants to deal with them often.
