What Sheng Yan mentioned about the box office profit is the real net profit, which is the earnings after deducting the production costs like venue, promotional funds, and so on. After deducting all these, there's actually not much profit left.
Plus, with so many investors in one film, each investor's share is the big sum. The director probably can't make the call to give such a share.
If they can indeed give Sheng Yan six percent, it must be something worked out with the investors.
But from the start, it was the film crew being insincere, so it was normal for Sheng Yan to ask for a price increase.
If a superstar like him could be easily bought off with money, that'd be great. The key is that even money can't guarantee their cooperation.
Since they tried to use online public opinion to force Sheng Yan to join the announcement, they should be prepared to pay a painful price!
After all, if this matter were to go to court, Sheng Yan would surely win.
