fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 104 Distribution and Sharing

The filming of "Shading the Sky 1 - A Journey to the Big Dipper" is progressing very smoothly.

The acting skills of the actors themselves are online.

After many explanations, Smith and others gradually understood what Zhang Yang wanted to express.

The chicken talks to the duck, I want 1, and there are fewer and fewer things that he gets out of -1.

Coupled with the blessing of Zhang Yang's system prop 'Director's Prestige Boost', no one on set dared to refute him. In a very short period of time, the filming of the entire movie was actually finished, many days faster than expected.

Moreover, during this period of time, in the publicity war, the emergence of Fa Cai also made "Shading the Sky" the most popular among the four films, firmly suppressing the other three films.

of course.

In terms of publicity, Zhang Yang not only released the shooting tidbits.

At the same time, from time to time, the actor's makeup photos and some special effects finalized drawings will be released.

Many netizens expressed their expectations for the film and spoke one after another. They will definitely buy tickets to support it on the day of its release.

Haihua City, Xuanyu Company.

In the office, Zhang Yang is receiving Guan Mingyuan.

Originally, today he should have a video conference with the production staff on the special effects side, guide some mistakes, and tell the production staff what he wants in the special effects.

But I received a call from Guan Mingyuan temporarily, saying that he brought someone over to talk to him about the film distribution.

So he sent Liang Bin and others from the art team to talk to this company, and sat in the office waiting for Guan Mingyuan's arrival.

More than 9 am.

Guan Mingyuan came, and besides the secretary, driver and others he brought with him on daily trips, he also brought a strange man with him.

Zhang Yang has never seen this person before.

He looked about 50 or [-] years old, wearing a suit and tie, but his appearance was ordinary, and there were some people dressed as secretaries and drivers behind him.

Guan Mingyuan, as the director of Douyin, has a high position and authority, and there are few bosses in China who can sit on an equal footing with him.

But he saw that the two had a good conversation along the way.

[Who is this? 】

[Is it someone from the issuing company? 】

Zhang Yang was a little puzzled.

However, the movements of his hands were not slow, and his face greeted him as usual.

"Welcome Mr. Guan, who is this?"

As soon as the two parties met, Guan Mingyuan stopped talking to the man.

Turning his head and smiling, he introduced to Zhang Yang: "Let me introduce, this is Wang Lei from Huayi, Mr. Wang."

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

Zhang Yang said hello.

【It turns out that he is the boss of Huayi. 】

Zhang Yang knew who this person was as soon as he heard it.

Huayi.

An established enterprise in the domestic film distribution industry.

Not only is it very powerful at home, it is also very powerful abroad. It has its own global distribution channels and its name is very resounding.

Zhang Yang knew about this company, but the boss had never seen it before, so he didn't recognize it.

Guan Mingyuan introduced to Wang Lei again: "This is Xuanyu's Zhang Yang, Mr. Zhang, who is also the No. [-] film in the history of domestic film investment, director Zhang Da of "Covering the Sky"."

"Haha, I've heard the name for a long time."

Wang Lei laughed, and stretched out his right hand towards Zhang Yang.

"Mr. Wang, I've heard of your name a long time ago."

Zhang Yang stretched out his right hand.

The two shook hands with each other, and they knew each other.

Lead the two of them upstairs, and ask the staff in charge of the reception to arrange the secretary and others to follow behind them.

Then he brought the two of them to his office, and ordered Lin Xiaohan to make tea.

While waiting, the three greeted each other, chatted and laughed a few words.

After waiting for the tea to be brewed, Lin Xiaohan silently closed the door and exited the office, leaving only the three of them in the room.

Seeing this situation, Guan Mingyuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Both of you, let's get straight to the point."

"Zhang Yang, it is reasonable to say that I should take you to visit Mr. Wang, but I know that you are very busy here, so after I explain to Mr. Wang, he is very reasonable, so why don't we just come to your side up.

The three of us got together to talk about movie distribution. "

"Thank you for your understanding. I've been very busy during this period. There are so many things in the film industry, and I really can't do it all at once."

Zhang Yang raised his teacup as a gesture of toast: "I'll use tea instead of wine to apologize first."

"Hey~ It's all about business, such trivial matters are not worth mentioning."

Wang Lei waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to do so.

"Having said that, I'll just say it.

I had a few conversations with Mr. Guan about the release of "Shading the Sky".

The investment in this movie is huge, and I won’t take advantage of you.

Domestically, Huayi, as the distributor, takes 5% of the box office share. I will contact the theaters, and at least achieve more than 20% of the country's film schedule. Of course, if the movie's box office performance is good enough, I will continue to talk to the theaters. It is not a problem to increase the film discharge rate.

But Mr. Zhang must be mentally prepared.

After deducting the 8.5% to be handed over and the box office within 6 million, you need to hand over 1.5% of the median (actually 8.3% and 1-3%, for the sake of easy calculation, this is written here.) The remaining net box office revenue, theaters At least 50% must be shared with the cinema, which is unavoidable.

So in fact, Xuanyu can only get 45% of the net box office. What do you think? "

After listening to Wang Lei's words, Zhang Yang fell into deep thought.

The conditions given by Wang Lei are indeed very favorable.

After many domestic movies are released, 50% of the theater's share is the least, and some even get more than 55%.

While issuing companies generally charge 7%, Huayi only charges 5%, which is indeed a very favorable price.

However, he personally invested 17 billion in this movie, and the video website for the subsequent release of the movie will definitely only be on Xigua Video. He will definitely not be able to get this share of the 13 billion invested by Dou Sheng.

Then the income of "Shading the Sky" is only box office + advertising + peripherals + some local film support and subsidy policies.

And because of the quality of the film, he didn't even accept the placement of advertisements.

And the peripheral income of "Shading the Sky" is hard to predict. After all, it is a fantasy film, not something like Transformers that can be made into toys. It is so tiny that this part of the income is almost negligible.

Follow this algorithm.

Then the domestic box office revenue of "Shading the Sky" must reach at least 42 billion before he can recover the cost of 17 billion.

This figure is considered a relatively high box office revenue in Longguo, and few movies can have such a high box office.

However, if "Shading the Sky" wants to reach this number, there is still hope.

But he also had to prepare for the worst.

In the 5.1 schedule, four blockbuster movies will be released together, and no one dares to say that they are sure to win.

On the contrary, the stalemate situation is more likely to happen.

Then by then, if there is not even 42 billion in China, then we can only count on foreign box office to recover the cost.

Moreover, it is also what he hopes to spread fantasy culture abroad.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Then how does Huayi plan to arrange the distribution abroad?"

Wang Lei explained: "The situation abroad and domestically are different. The share that Xuanyu can get is definitely not as high as 45%. The distribution fee of Huayi is still calculated based on 5%. However, the national conditions of each foreign country are different. What Xuanyu can get here is The share of the movie may only be about 25% to 30%, and the specific figure can only be calculated after sending people abroad to talk with theater chains and theaters.”

"In addition, how many theaters will be screened, how many films will be scheduled, and the time of broadcast, also need to be discussed. I will discuss these as long as you agree."

"This is the approximate terms of the contract. If you think there is no problem, then I will send someone abroad to negotiate as soon as possible. After the negotiation is completed, we will formally sign the contract."

　Regarding the reward of 29000 starting point coins from the reader 'Corpse Immortal Emperor'.

　　I originally wanted to add two more chapters as a thank you, but now the free part has a bit too many words, and there will be a round of recommended positions on the PC side in the next week.

　　Another one, this book is also expected to be released in 6.1. If more updates are added, the number of words in the free part will be a bit too much.

　　So wait until it's on the shelves and I'll replenish it for you!
