Cinema companies usually pay the distribution company the first box office share 28 days after the film is screened, and the distribution company will only share the remaining box office share to the production company after deducting the messy promotion and distribution costs.

The complexity here is that if you are outsiders, even if you invite a super accountant from PwC, you can still be fooled by the underwear.

The Delaware Balance Court cannot find any problem with the production company and distribution company's left hand and right hand, just doing it back and forth for a few moves. Especially the issuance cost accounting of the issuance company, it is impossible to calculate at all. All channels are from their own companies, so the specific cost is a mystery.

Therefore, Hollywood generally likes to invest in outsiders, and everyone knows that investing in movies makes money. There may be almost no outsiders who make money. These production companies even sued those vampires on Wall Street.

This is why Wayne never wants to share profits, only box office numbers. In his opinion, people who dare to share profits are all a group of warriors. Even if an accountant tracks and calculates the entire process, a big-selling video will often lose money in profits.

There are not many examples in this regard. Now Warner Bros. is willing to ask his accountant to go to the finance department to do preliminary accounting work first, and the instructions will pay the money within half a year after the Joker's North American release is removed, which is already very efficient.

Therefore, movies have always been an industry with particularly slow investment returns. The investment time is often a year or several years, which is why Wayne chose not to invest money in movies.

“About my new project…”

Speaking of this, Wayne deliberately pondered for a moment and observed the faces of the two executives. "You should all know how much the shooting was."

The two executives looked at each other, and Jeff Robinoff couldn't help but say, "If you have any ideas, you can just say them."

Not only were they curious about Wayne's thoughts, but even John, who was not involved in the front line work, and Nina, the little assistant behind him, were also curious about what kind of film he would make next.

The glory of "The Joker" is still going on. Fools know that if they want to surpass this masterpiece, even Wayne can do it, then what he thinks is, this matter becomes confusing!

After stoking everyone's appetite, Wayne said: "Jeff, if I prepare two videos at the same time, can I hold on with the current funding situation of Warner Brothers?"

This is the main problem. The film company looks very high-end, and its financial flow is so tight that it is scary. Most of the non-sequel movies with big investments and big productions rely on financing to solve the problem.

Some medium-sized film companies, even if they are screwed up with a big investment, will face the danger of bankruptcy and being acquired at any time. Warner Brothers has developed very well in the past two years, but they can't escape this rule.

This year, Wayne knows about three big productions. The investment in "The Joker" is still the lowest, and the investment in "The Assassination Order of the Goose Pond" is the highest, and Julia Roberts, who won 20+20, will be very small in the early stage.

"Tell me, Wayne!" In the end, Kevin Tessulha took over the conversation. Jeff couldn't make the decision in this matter, and there were still some possibilities for CEO to promote the review.

"I'll just mention to you first. The specific project plan will be handed over to Warner Brothers when I come back from vacation, about October." Lighting a cigarette, Wayne took a deep breath, ready to tell his crazy plan.

"Mr. Keller of DC called me and we also had a brief conversation. One of the projects is DC's superhero. The expected preparation time for this project may exceed ten months. I need to make props, special effects, etc. in advance, and actors will train in advance!"

Sure enough! He heard that he mentioned DC Comics the first time, and Jeff Robinoff remembered Jonathan's confident face at the meeting. It seemed that the one who knows the most about this director was the manager of the DC Comics company.

Wayne continued while considering it, "This project can be maintained by using that shooting case, but the preparation time is too long, and funds need to be invested to maintain it during the period. I am still not sure about the specific production cost. This is what I have just confirmed in the past few days and it will take time to conduct preliminary investigations!"

A project that has nothing to say, not to mention the plan, and not even a script, is not in line with Hollywood's investment rules at all, but Wayne Greenberg is the one who came up with this idea.

Now the highest box office record holder in North America is also a synonym for success that has never failed! Everyone in the house knows that he is now qualified to play like this in the early stage. Warner Bros. is unwilling, and some production companies are willing to play with him!

"Okay, Wayne!" Jeff Robinoff nodded with a frown. "This can be done by your plan. It's better to call Jonathan again. We're still having time to talk about your plans for another video."

Wayne didn't expect them to take over the whole thing after slapping their heads. He has never had a mentally retarded halo since he was a child. He just told them in advance and prepared them for mental preparation.

"Kevin." Turning his head to look at the Warner Bros. He asked in confusion: "I remember Stephen King's horror novel, the film and television adaptation rights are in the hands of Warner Bros., right? That's the one that has been filmed in 1990."

The span is obviously a bit large. Kevin Tesuhara thought about it for a while and asked uncertainly: ""The Joker's Resurrection"?"

“yes.”

Frowning, he carefully determined in his mind for a while. "I have to go back and check it out before I can find out. I remember that after the film was released for two episodes, the market performance was very average, so Warner Bros. put aside the production of the sequel."

That's right, it's this horror movie. Wayne is preparing to quickly produce this remake during the preparation period of another DC masterpiece, for no other reason, just for the low production cost and high return on investment.

Compared with the difficulty and speed of shooting, this movie is the most suitable choice for him to think about it. This is just an excessive work that he went completely for the box office in order to consolidate his position in the circle, and there is no need to consider other factors at all.

Compared to Wayne's other alternatives, shooting this is too easy for him. Anyway, he has not been prepared to be a little golden man in recent years. It is better to consolidate his position in the circle while he was young.

"Okay, that's it today. I will notify the agent to communicate with you in detail." Wayne stood up and shook hands with the two executives, preparing to end the conversation. "By the way. I will go out for a trip during this period. You know, I have been working under tremendous pressure for the past three years. If I don't relax for a while, I feel that I will need to hire a psychologist soon!"

Speaking of these people, everyone laughed. Everyone knew that he was a workaholic. As long as he entered work, he would even need an assistant to take care of his daily life.

After leaving the lounge and returning to the hall, he was indeed the same as Wayne thought. These people in the circle gathered together just women. He sipped a few times. He reached out and rubbed his temples and prepared to leave here.

Another point is that if he wants to join, those people will not have fun. Even John silently left the hotel with the two executives.

"Harry!"

He called out Black Pearl not far from him, and saw her turn and wave to her. "I'm going to go back first, do you want to go together?"

The sexy and charming black pearl dressed tonight made Wayne admire him in his heart. He also comforted himself crazy, but he had drunk too much white foreign milk during this period and wanted to reminisce about the taste of chocolate.

However, the little assistant behind him obviously didn't think so. When his boss greeted the black beauty, he silently spitted at his back. "Spit, scumbag!"

"Okay, this place is boring anyway!" Harry Berry agreed very happily, and naturally took his arm. "It just so happened that there were some things I wanted to go back and talk to you, let's go!"

"Baby, you're so hot tonight!"

Feeling the hand wandering behind her, Harry Berry resisted the urge to roll his eyes and got in the car with him and rushed back to the manor. The sweeter the man spoke, the more he suffered. This is the rule she summarized...

But after getting in the car, Wayne did not continue to act excessively, but instead looked at his assistant with clear eyes. "Contact Howard tomorrow and ask him to take him to PwC's accountant team to calculate my box office share. You should pay more attention to this matter."

"No problem, boss!" Nina knew her boss so well. Women were definitely not as tempting as tens of millions of dollars, and he also liked to be a hand-off manager.

After thinking about it, she reminded her helplessly. "Can you use me to contact Ryan to let him come from New York together? He can't handle such a big investment."

"You discuss with him and form a lawyer team. Don't be afraid of spending money. This matter is much more important than you think! Let's talk slowly first, don't worry, we have time. Now, in order to tie me up, those shareholders will slowly give you more benefits!"

If Nina was not her assistant, Wayne would definitely tell everyone not to be fooled by this woman's ordinary figure and appearance!

This is a woman who has brought all the gifts from God into her mind. She is the typical woman with ordinary appearance but capable appearance. This is what Wayne said to her in his heart!

This woman with a shrewd heart and ordinary appearance can handle everything around Wayne quietly. Whether it is regularly communicating investment plans with accountants or regular consultations with Ryan on legal issues, she can get along very well with the employees in the manor. She is every employee, including the gardener who mows the lawn!

Even the women who came and went around Wayne were all full of affection for her.

"Arranging it as soon as possible, and you and Sergei will go on vacation with me in two days!"

"no problem!"
