Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Chen Minhao raised his head and looked at Jessica with expectant eyes.

He told himself in his heart, please start your performance.

Chen Minhao put down the knife and fork in his hand, and said with a smile, "Say it."

Jessica adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and said, ""Before Dawn" is a low-cost movie. I invested 3 million US dollars, and your company Kanghui invested 2 million US dollars. The previously agreed share ratio is 65% for me and 35% for her. After the filming is over, about 800,000 U.S. dollars will be used for publicity, excluding the post-production costs."

Although Chen Minhao knew the information very well, his eyes were full of curiosity, and he listened carefully.

He is a good actor!

Jessica continued: "If 800,000 US dollars is used for film promotion, it is actually very little. So now, Kanghui proposes a solution, and her company is fully responsible for the promotion and distribution, and finally adjusts the share ratio according to the film's box office."

Jessica took out her mobile phone, opened the memo, handed it to Chen Minhao, and said, "The specific ratio is like this, please take a look."

【Box Office Jessica Kanghui

10 million and below 65% 35%

10 million to 15 million 60% 40%

15 million to 30 million 50% 50%

30 million to 50 million 35% 65%

50 million and below 25% 75%]

Chen Minhao nodded, took the phone, and did not speak. He lowered his head and stared at the screen, frowning, as if he was thinking seriously.

Jessica did not interrupt Chen Minhao's thinking, she was very relieved to see Chen Minhao who was thinking seriously.

He didn't evade, nor did he perfunctory, instead he was thinking seriously, his previous judgment was indeed correct - Chen Minhao is really a good person.

After about two minutes, Chen Minhao raised his head and said, "I don't think this plan is particularly suitable."

Jessica froze for a moment, then said, "Why is it inappropriate?" "

In fact, before asking Chen Minhao, Jessica also asked friends in the industry.

Their feedback is that this plan is not very sincere, but it is not too harsh, and it is acceptable.

First of all, according to this plan, Jessica does not need to invest more money, which reduces the risk.

Secondly, in order to obtain high profits, Kanghui's company will definitely try its best to promote it. After the box office is high, although Jessica does not earn as much as Kanghui's company. But as long as the box office of the movie "Love Is Here" is high, Jessica, as the director, editor, producer and investor, will always benefit.

In the end, although Kang Hui's company will have a high percentage of revenue after the box office exceeds 50 million US dollars, it will make a lot of money, but it is too difficult for a small-budget romance film to exceed 50 million US dollars at the box office!

And even if the box office exceeds 50 million U.S. dollars, after deducting about 30% of the money to the theaters, she can still earn about 8.75 million U.S. dollars. After tax deduction, there are still about 6 million U.S. dollars, which is already twice her investment!

Jessica had originally planned to accept it, and now she came to ask Chen Minhao just to seek peace of mind, but she never expected that Chen Minhao would say that this plan was unreasonable.

Seeing Jessica's surprised expression, Chen Minhao knew that the fish had already bit the hook.

Chen Minhao said in a deep voice: "This plan ignores a risk. What if Kanghui's company doesn't promote "Love Is"?"

Chen Minhao's expression was serious, as if he was not talking about his contracted company, but a company that had nothing to do with him.

Jessica froze for a moment, and said, "I really didn't consider this possibility, but Kang Hui herself is also an investor in this movie, so she probably won't stop promoting it."

Chen Minhao thought to himself, of course he will vigorously promote it.

But her expression became more serious, and she said: "If Kang Hui's company sees the finished film after the film is produced, they judge that the quality of the film is not high. How little? Do you think Kang Hui’s company will work hard to promote it, or stop losses in time?”

Hearing "the quality of the movie is not high", Jessica looked a little displeased and said, "You are the leading actor in this movie, so you should have confidence in the quality of this movie."

Chen Minhao laughed suddenly, and said: "Of course I have confidence in the quality of the movie, but you can't expect everyone to have a relatively high appreciation and judgment for movies, right! Even if it is a high-quality movie, Kang The company that returns may not be able to 100% recognize the value of this movie."

Chen Minhao had no burden in his heart, and unscrupulously blackmailed his company.

Jessica's face was a little dignified. In the film industry, it is not uncommon to see cases of secret casting of pearls. I even blamed Chen Minhao a little bit just now, I really shouldn't have done it!

Jessica was a little apprehensive and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Chen Minhao said with a smile: "One more thing, if the box office of the movie does not exceed 10 million US dollars, the share ratio will not be 65% for you and 35% for Kanghui, but 75% for you and 25% for you."

Jessica hesitated, and said, "Will this Kang Hui agree?"

Chen Minhao said: "If you mention it directly, Kang Hui will definitely not agree. You can inquire about Kang Hui's reputation in the domestic entertainment circle."

Jessica held her chin and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Chen Minhao said: "You can make some insignificant concessions in some unimportant aspects. For example, if it exceeds 50 million US dollars now, then Kang will get 75% and you will get 25%. You can change it to 80% and you will get 20%. "

Jessica smiled and said, "Okay, thank you so much!"

After thanking Jessica, she left with a smile.

Chen Minhao's words had actually completely moved her.

But she was still a little worried.

Although Chen Minhao is a good person, I regard him as a friend, and he also regards me as a friend, but in the face of the differences in interests between me and his company, his behavior is actually a bit of a rip off for the current company, which makes Jessica a little uneasy.

Jessica decided to ask a few Chinese friends.

After Jessica returned to her room, she called a Huaxia friend and asked, "You know Kang Hui, how is she?"

"Of course I know. She is well-known in China's entertainment industry. Be careful when you cooperate with her. She is a thousand-year-old fox. She will eat everything, but she will not suffer."

Jessica nodded, and continued to ask: "Can you help me find out, how is the relationship between Chen Minhao and Kang Hui?"

"Oh, I don't need to ask about this at all. The relationship between Chen Minhao and Kang Hui is not a secret in China's entertainment industry. The relationship between the two of them is very bad. Kang Hui is very strong and often makes some decisions for him regardless of Chen Minhao's wishes."

After listening, Jessica showed a confident smile on her face.

As expected of me, this is what Huaxia mentioned, "Get more help if you are right, but less help if you are wrong".

Chen Minhao is really helping me! After the movie is released, I must thank him in the future!

With a lot of psychological advantage, Jessica called Kang Hui and said, "I am willing to accept the bet, but I think we need to discuss this ratio."

Kang Hui tapped the table with his fingers, and said, "What do you think?"

Jessica said: "If the box office is less than 10 million US dollars, the share ratio is not 65% and 35%, but 75% and 25%."

Just as Kang Hui was about to say yes, she thought the box office would never be less than 10 million US dollars no matter what. This is not trust in the quality of the film, but trust in Chen Minhao's box office appeal.

The strength of Chen Minhao's fans cannot be underestimated.

Needless to say, in other countries, just in China, it is not a big problem for Chen Minhao to make the box office exceed 10 million US dollars.

Before Kang Hui could speak, Jessica immediately added: "Of course, I know this plan is difficult for you to accept, but in other respects, I can make some concessions. For example, when the box office exceeds 50 million US dollars, it was you before 75%, I 25%, we can change it to 80% for you, 20% for me.

Kang Hui raised the corner of his mouth and said two words: "Deal. I will fly to Vienna tomorrow, and we will sign the contract."
