At noon the next day, as Yin Jun brought a certificate of guarantee for Citibank's $20 million deposit, Lucas simply regarded Yin Jun as a relative. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The proof of the guarantee of 20 million US dollars is actually not very difficult.

Yin Jun called back to Xiangjiang and explained his situation to Chen Youhan of the commercial bank, stating that he would make another mortgage on the land after he returned, and asked him to make such a guarantee certificate with Citibank Xiangjiang Branch.

The 5 million square feet of land bought by the teenager in Tin Shui Wai has soared from 130 million in May to 150 million in June, and it has risen by about 10% in a month!!

The reason is very simple, on the one hand, the overall price increase of Xiangjiang Real Estate, and on the other hand, Derun Group has directly submitted a request to Yin Jun's housekeeper Le Yiling to acquire land for 180 million Hong Kong dollars, of which 30 million is liquidated compensation to the Zhao family in Tianshuiwei.

Yin Jun is not in Xiangjiang, but he still knows this uproar very clearly.

He felt that Derun Group was just hype.

Do you think, if they paid such a high price to buy Yin Jun's 5 million square feet of land, how much should their own 20 million square feet of land be worth at this price?

Regardless of whether the land is sold or not, at least a basic price is given, and when others want to estimate the price of this super land of Derun Group, there will be a bottom.

People are saying that Yin Jun makes a lot of money, so why not say that the purchase price of one foot of land in Derun Group is only 1.5 Hong Kong dollars?

Putting these aside, since Yin Jun's land is what Derun wants to buy with real money, the valuation of the land by Heung Kong Commercial Bank will rise again.

In addition, Chen Youhan has always supported Yin Jun, even if Yin Jun's land is not worth 100 million, he dares to give Yin Jun a guarantee of 20 million US dollars. ——Even before that, the Heung Kong Commercial Bank had given Yin Jun a mortgage line of 50 million yuan for this land.

Just like his father Chen Bicheng, Chen Youhan invests not in money, but in people.

Of course, this guarantee certificate only proves that Yin Jun can use so much money, but it does not mean that Yin Jun can withdraw so much money at once.

In fact, the first immediately available fund was only $3 million.

But that's enough for Lucas and Spielberg to make the first start-up capital.

Happy, Lucas heard Yin Jun say that he wanted the young man who followed him to be the producer of the investor, and he agreed without hesitation, which was originally one of the rights and interests of investors.

Then he also asked Yin Jun casually, "Jun, do you have any familiar oriental actresses? I can let her be a supporting role with a lot of weight!"

Spielberg's eyebrows moved, but he didn't speak.

He knows Lucas too well, and knows that this guy can't afford to be early, and looking for an oriental actress is not only to give Yin Jun a favor, but also to open up the oriental market!

Yin Jun naturally understood Lucas's thoughts, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded, "If it's not an action scene, I have the most beautiful and popular female singer in the East to recommend to you, she will make our movies have a very crazy box office in Asia, believe me!"

Lucas's old face flushed, and his careful thoughts were directly said by Yin Jun, feeling a little embarrassed.

But he and Spielberg had already investigated it yesterday, and the teenager in front of him was definitely not just a simple 17-year-old young man, he was also a genius, even a genius even more genius than Spielberg.

When Spielberg was 16 years old, he didn't dominate the Asian TV circle like Yin Jun, and then several scripts were applauded and acclaimed.

In particular, Spielberg is a family scholar and has been nurtured since he was a child, but what about Yin Jun?

Thinking of that ancient and closed country, Spielberg himself was embarrassed to compare with Yin Jun.

Therefore, Lucas was not surprised that Yin Jun could guess his mind so quickly.

But at the same time, he attached importance to Yin Jun's recommendation.

Women, most of them are vases in the movie, and their greatest use is to use the face of an angel and the figure of a devil to attract the audience to the movie.

If that oriental female singer is really as Yin Jun said, then the role is not just to add a little bit, it can be done as the second and third female leads!

Looking at Spielberg, he noticed that his old friend also nodded to himself, apparently agreeing with such a suggestion as well.

Spielberg is a young man, but he is definitely not high, he knows what to do and what needs to be done on the way to chasing his dreams.

People who can combine commercial films and literary temperament so well, except for Spielberg, no one dares to say that they are the first.

That's why he was successful, so Spielberg's status in the film industry will always be higher than that of truck drivers, even if truck drivers are the world's No. 1 and No. 2 box office record holders.

Even in 2016, Spielberg made a box office mediocre "Dream Giant" at Disney, but this movie full of childlike innocence has received unanimous praise from critics, who praised the movie to the sky.

Even Disney films, which may be facing losses, did not take the losses to heart, and actively invited Spielberg to direct at least three more movies for them.

Because they know that although commercial movies are very important, a movie that is so full of childlike innocence and has such beautiful feelings is exactly what Disney needs most.

"Dream Giant" represents word-of-mouth, a word-of-mouth that will be loved and remembered from old to young!

"Okay, now that the little things have been taken care of, let me talk about my share of the investment and the distribution of my earnings. Taking a sip of milk tea, Yin Jun said.

"Tell me, how do you want to distribute it?" Lucas said shamelessly, "if I need $20 million." ”

Yesterday he thought that 10 million dollars was enough, and now with 20 million dollars, Lucas thinks he can still eat it in one bite, because if Spielberg makes a movie, although the small cost is fine, but the more money, the better he can shoot.

Anyway, it's spending someone else's money, and Lucas is justifiable.

If the $20 million comes in, if there is any expenditure that exceeds the standard, Yin Jun will definitely have to continue to invest, right?

In this way, I don't have to worry about my production cost at all, maybe Stephen can make the movie better and more prominent!

Huo Jianning felt that his face was already stiff, this old boy was really not greedy enough as Yin Jun said.

But the significance of Yin Jun's preparation of $20 million is that he will invest all of it, otherwise he would not have issued a $20 million guarantee certificate.

Huo Jianning didn't stop Yin Jun again, since he had decided to invest, the difference between $10 million and $20 million was not too big, in meaning.

And Huo Jianning has already entered the role, what the boss wants to do, he doesn't need to doubt it, just do his job seriously.

"What is the range of the total investment in this play, and what is the proportion of your shares in the cost of script, copyright, director, etc.?" Yin Jun asked first.

"The cash is about $25 million! Lucasfilm gives $5 million in cash, and then we package the cost on our side, counting the investment of $5 million, but the copyright is not in it. Lucas said, "Stephen doesn't want a salary, he wants a dividend, 5% of the North American box office." ”

And voila!

This is the great director's comparison!

After thirty years, when the actors may not be able to catch the box office dividends, Spielberg has been able to get box office dividends.

Although this may be the reason why Lucas wants Spielberg to take charge of the film, with this precedent, the better Spielberg's filming performance in the future, the more likely he is to get box office dividends.

As mentioned earlier, box office dividends and profit dividends are completely two different things.

The box office dividend is how much money the movie sells, and you have to give me a dividend according to this money.

Profit dividends are dividends only after all expenses are removed.

The former can't be faked, but the latter has too much chance of cheating, and most Hollywood companies like to make their profits into small profits or losses, so as to avoid paying more taxes, and even the profits that investors should have will swallow them, and there are copyright owners, the same is so pitted that they don't negotiate.

In the history of later generations, "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", didn't this cheating the Tolkien Foundation? After finally leading to a lawsuit, they also stated that they would not take out "The Elf Diamond" to the film company, which is a huge loss for fans!

Oh, by the way, it's not just the Tolkien Foundation that has been pitted, isn't Peter, the director of the two series, also cheated like this?

On the contrary, speaking according to the box office share, there is nothing to entangle.

Spielberg deeply understands the trickiness in this, so he will definitely not be ambiguous if he can get a share of the box office.

In fact, why did Spielberg take more than $200 million in dividends in the first episode of "Jurassic Park"?

Isn't it because he is asking for box office dividends?

And it's a global box office dividend!!

Yin Jun doesn't mind such a dividend model, a director who can make more money for himself, giving him a high salary will only make him work harder to make movies.

The 5% dividend of the North American box office, when converted, is almost about 2.5% of the global total box office, and this money is worth it to Spielberg.

What Lucas said does not include copyright, which Yin Jun has long been mentally prepared for, which is the main reason why Lucas and several major film companies have not negotiated, and of course he will not give in to Yin Jun.

"Speaking of the revenue from the box office in the United States, excluding about 10% of the distribution company's copy and publicity expenses, it should be between 42% and 45% in our hands, right?" Yin Jun asked.

"Yes. Lucas nodded, "However, this is pre-tax income, and if you pay taxes normally, it will be at least about 40%." ”

"Taxes are reported by professionals, and accounts are also reported by professionals. Yin Jun said, "By the way, George, you wouldn't be stupid enough to register your company in California, right?"

"Hehe, of course not. Lucas smiled, and sighed secretly in his heart, Yin Jun is really not easy to fool, he even knows the highest tax rate in California.

"So, let's calculate according to the proportion of our respective investments, if there are no accidents, I should get about 28% of the box office revenue, right?" Yin Jun asked.

"Yes. Since it is a cooperation, Lucas does not hide it, "There is a special company that can do this bill, and if we do it together, the tax rate can be reduced to about 20%." ”

"Good. ”

Yin Junjaw said, "Then at the global box office, we will also divide according to this proportion...... However, can the $20 million I invest be able to enjoy a share of the derivative profits of the peripherals? such as the rental and sale of videotapes, the licensing of peripheral products, the sale of TV rights, and so on. ”

"Absolutely. Lucas nodded: "We are cooperating in earnest, and this proportion is still based on the share of investment." ”

When he said this, Yin Jun was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lucas to be so happy.

But think about it, although Lucas is holding a movie to old age, his reputation is still good, otherwise he would not have such a good reputation.

"Then that's just the last question. Yin Jun groaned, "I know George, you are not willing to sell the copyright, but I hope that if there is a follow-up production, I still have the right of first refusal." ”

"Yes. Lucas thought about it for a moment and agreed, for him, who invests not the same?

"I want to put this in the contract. ”

"Good!"

After Lucas agreed, he spread his hands with a smile: "Jun, are you sure that you are not a person who has been in this industry for twenty or thirty years and then is still a child?"

"Of course not, I've been in the business for 42 years. Yin Jun said seriously.

"Hahaha...... You're so humorous!" Lucas patted Yin Jun on the shoulder, then stretched out his hand, "So, I wish us a happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation!" Yin Jun said with a smile.

The two of them have negotiated, and then all that remains is the drafting of the contract in terms of details.

Lucas is also a man of action, and immediately called a lawyer over and drafted an agreement according to the Hollywood version of cooperation, while Huo Jianning took another lawyer introduced by Tang Shuxuan and confirmed it line by line with the other party's lawyer.

Originally, Spielberg came over today, just to confirm whether the funds could be received, and seeing that the negotiations were ready, he was ready to leave and go home to busy his own business.

Lucas likes such things as socializing, Spielberg doesn't.

But Yin Jun stopped him.

"Stephen. The boy smiled naturally, "I have a story here, I don't know if you like it or not." (To be continued.) )
