Chapter 365 The Water Bearer

Chapter 365 The Water Bearer

In North America, generally speaking, if a movie has a good box office, according to the current situation, as long as it exceeds tens of millions of dollars, the producer [production and distribution] can take about 60% of the box office;

If the box office is not impressive, the theaters usually only take about 45% for their own interests.

The theater chain will have a guarantee algorithm. To vacate a theater to play a movie, they must guarantee how much revenue they can achieve in this theater. After reaching this profit, the theater chain can only talk about the share after guaranteeing the capital preservation.

If it's a bad movie and the theaters can't keep their capital, then I'm sorry, the producers don't even think about splitting a dime. question mark.

For film production companies, as long as the box office is still considerable, they can get about 40%-45% of the box office share. This ratio depends on how much the distribution company contributes and whether it is strong.

Take "Ghost Story" as an example. The filming cost was just over 10,000 U.S. dollars, but the publisher's publicity fee exceeded 20 million U.S. dollars.

Moreover, the income of more than 13,000 times advertised by this movie is pure nonsense. If the announcement cannot keep up, it is impossible for a movie to get a high box office simply by word of mouth.

Moreover, the word-of-mouth of "Ghost Shadow Records" is not very good. It is the publisher's interpretation of what is called navy marketing, and the massive positive reviews cover up the negative reviews.

This method will be carried forward in the Chinese Congress, and it will even be done more thoroughly. Is it not good to cover up what is covered up and just delete the post?

Do not delete?

Lawyer letter warning.

The high box office of "Ghost Shadows" can be said to be negligible to the producer, and it is purely due to the clever tricks of the publisher.

Usually, only directors and film company owners with box office guarantees like Spielberg and George Lucas can get the highest percentage of box office share, and they can also get good peripheral shares.

20th Century Fox does not have this kind of worry about fighting for a share, and it is one of the top seven, so it can naturally get the highest box office share from the theaters.

The "Home Alone" project is my own son, and there is no such thing as a share with the producer. In the future, more than 60% of the box office share in North America will fall into my own pocket.

Because of this foundation, coupled with the pressure of lack of money, Nanyi started to have crooked ideas.

The budget for "Home Alone" has been released, and the investment will not exceed 12 million US dollars. Based on the total production cost and publicity expenses of 25 million US dollars, the global box office is estimated to be 300 million US dollars.

A general calculation of the global box office share should be about 40%. The expected revenue of 20th Century Fox is 120 million U.S. dollars. After deducting expenses and operating costs, the net income before tax is between 85 million and 90 million.

Make a premium for this project, issue a capital-guaranteed film and television fund with a total amount of 60 million US dollars through the Scarlett Fund, and promise an annualized return of 15%-40%, depending on the situation, the return rate of return after maturity is By highest or lowest.

This is equivalent to borrowing a sum of money with not low interest. Of course, it is impossible to use the money for film production, but to invest the money in high-risk and high-yield projects.

"Film and TV" is just an excuse. In fact, with the current popularity of the Scarlett Fund, there is no need for any excuse. As long as the capital preservation fund is launched, it will definitely be rushed to subscribe.

Nanyi needs this reason to let leeks know about the concept of film and television funds first. After the capital-guaranteed film and television fund is redeemed, they can start anew on Wall Street and launch high-risk and high-yield film crowdfunding projects.

Choose a good-sounding and tempting name, make a high premium, and not use it for fraud. The funds raised will be put into the pocket, and the rest will be really invested in filming.

Assuming that the shooting cost of a film is 100 million U.S. dollars, 20% of it is valued at 40 million or even 50 million U.S. dollars; if the crowdfunding is successful, the investor will already have a book profit of 20 million U.S. dollars.

With a total investment of 100 million yuan, I only need to spend another 60 million yuan, but I can occupy the "foresight expected income amount" that originally required an investment of 80 million yuan to occupy, and I have saved 20 million yuan invisibly.

If the investment fails, the investor can reduce their own risk; if the investment succeeds, it depends on the ability of the accountant to drive up the cost and reduce the return rate of crowdfunding funds.

Since 20th Century Fox itself has distribution capabilities, it can increase the publicity and distribution costs of crowdfunding projects and transfer profits from production to distribution.

As long as this "new stove" maintains a relatively high return on investment success ratio, this model can continue. If you invest in 10 films and 6 of them are profitable, the leeks will be very happy.

After all, who can guarantee the success of every investment they make?

Although the crowdfunding of popular films will reduce Nanyi's own income, it also reduces a lot of risks. If it is a low-cost film, it can even start the project at zero cost.

If crowdfunding can achieve a virtuous cycle, 20th Century Fox will be able to launch more low-cost youth films, horror films and other projects. These projects have a high probability of being small and big.

The increase in the company's annual income can provide employees with benefits and enhance the cohesion of employees. The company has also entered a virtuous circle, and the valuation will become higher and higher. When the time is right, it can be listed.

If everything can be completed before 1989, the company can be sold to the upstarts in Japan. The red sofa decoupled from 20th Century Fox, and stood on the shoulders of giants to develop rapidly.

In the 1990s, they made money by making films, and in the 21st century, they can carry out capitalized operations. In the first ten years, they exploited several waves of Middle Eastern capital; in the second decade, they can focus on those restless Huaguo media capital.

Global allocation?

I let you match, I let you match, let me rot all the meat in my own pot, don't even think about fleeing abroad.

"Ali, Alibaba, Alibaba is a happy young man..." After thinking through the problem, Nanyi happily hummed a song.

"Mars, Mars, magical Mars, one day, I will see you, ugly Martians pretending to be kind." Nan Ruofeng echoed and hummed a song, then rubbed her belly, "Dad, I'm tired again I'm hungry again, it's time for us to eat."

Nan Yi frowned and said: "It's still early, it's only past six o'clock, Dad gave you the opportunity to get in touch with these things, so that you can have a job at a young age, you have to know how to be grateful. Don't worry, we will be ten o'clock Zhong will go to eat again and work overtime."

"But I'm hungry." Nan Ruobing refused.

"Hey, bear with it for a while, work hard, and you will be rewarded." Nanyi flipped through the documents in his hand and said, "I'm really hungry, so I'll eat biscuits to satisfy my hunger."

"It's not delicious if it's dry, Dad, I'm still young, I can't go hungry."

"Okay, okay, you guys born in the 1970s are really a beat generation, and you can't stand such a little bit of suffering." Nanyi closed the documents in his hand and tidied them up again.

"Father, you are talking nonsense. Those born in the 1980s are the beat generation. We born in the 1970s are the sun at six o'clock in the morning. They are full of vigor and blooming flowers."

"Oh, when the post-80s grow up a bit, they will fight back and say that you post-70s can't keep up with the times and are out of date."

"Father, can I say that you guys born in the 1960s are behind the times?"

"No, I haven't heard how to sing in the song. We born in the 60s are the new generation of the 80s, kid. Now is our era, and your era has not yet come. Wait until Dad retires and you take over the power baton. "

"Hmph, I don't believe it. If it is passed on from male to female, the power stick will definitely be handed over to my younger brother. Besides, I..." Nan Ruoying said sadly.

Nan Yi stroked Fu Nan Ruo Fing's head, and said, "Silly girl, don't think too much, you are father's own, and you must have a share of Nan's family property. However, it's not time to think about inheriting it yet. We want to make this cake bigger together, the bigger the cake, the more you can get."

"Well, thank you Dad."

"Thank you, silly girl." Nan Yi hugged Nan Ruofing out of the glass room, "What do you want to eat?"

"French baked snails."

"Snails are so cute, how can we eat snails, let's eat roasted rabbits."

"No, rabbits are cuter. When I'm full from eating snails, I'll take a sign to protest eating rabbits."

"Okay, Dad supports you, our family will start raising rabbits, once it becomes illegal to eat rabbits, the price of rabbits will skyrocket, even if we raise less, we can still make a lot of money.

In this world, illegal business must make more money, and the privileges that only a few people can enjoy will be more precious and valuable. "

"for example?"

"If there is any good example, you can see that something has changed from a high threshold to mandatory and obligatory, then you can basically judge that this thing must not be much better.

In a pool, there are few people who drink water at the beginning, but there are many people who carry water, and those who drink water can drink more water; Years, people who drink water can still drink to their fullest.

But one day when these water bearers can no longer move, and they are about to become water drinkers, it looks terrible, no new water bearers come in, what should we do at that time?

Okay, a little question of the day, if you were the one managing the pool, what would you do to solve this problem? "

"Dad, I'm really hungry. I'll think about it when I'm full, okay?"

"No problem, just think about it slowly."
