My old bacon is back!

Chapter 142 Test Screening
"Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli appeared at the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala. The young couple were holding hands, intimate and loving as usual."

"It is reported that Qi Yuan Gu Hongli's chorus repertoire for this Spring Festival Gala is "I hope people will last forever."

"Qi Yuan's new album MV has been filmed and is expected to be released in the next year."

"The name of Qi Yuan's new album has been exposed, the three words "Fantasy"!"

"This Spring Festival Gala rehearsal mainly adjusts the singing and dancing programs. It is still doubtful whether Qi Yuangu Hongli's program will finally appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage."

The pair of Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli can be said to be an extremely high-profile existence in this circle.

Of course, Gu Hongli's popularity goes without saying. In the past few years since her debut, three hit albums, two hit TV series, and a movie with a box office of 12 billion have basically established her position in the same year.

Qi Yuan quickly became popular in the second half of 2020. Starting from "The Strongest Singer", his songs have become extremely popular.

Then "The Silent Truth" exploded, which made Qi Yuan's screenwriting level and acting skills also gained great recognition.

Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli sang the song twice on stage, during which the director of the Spring Festival Gala mainly adjusted the dance, lighting, and camera design.

After the rehearsal was over, Gu Hongli stayed in Shangjing. She still had her last announcement for this year on Shangjing TV.

Qi Yuan returned to Xidu and the company. A supervisor under Ren Xia had been waiting for more than half an hour.

For the release of "The Silent Truth", Qi Yuan contacted the distribution company under Gaowei Capital.

At present, Yuancheng Film and Television has not released this business sector, and it cannot be done.

Yu Caihong brought coffee to Qi Yuan, Ren Xia, and Zhou Hao, and went out obediently, closing the door behind him.

Hao Zhou held the information and said, "So far, including us, there are 7 films that have been announced to be released during the Spring Festival this year. This includes "Aliens Descend to Earth", which Tianhao claims to have invested 30 million yuan. The trailer special effects are very good. Cool, this is the biggest hit this year, and the Wolf Eye app predicts that the box office will be over [-] billion."

"The second one is "Thousand Years City" produced by Crescent Entertainment and Yida Films. It is a blockbuster in ancient costumes, with the best actors and actresses, and the battle scenes are very grand. It is also one of the big hits, and the box office is also predicted to be 30 billion+."

"Then there is "Love of Sea Fish", which Quanyou invested 1.8 million yuan in. This drama even specially bought "Big Fish" from you, boss, as a promotional track."

"The other three movies are..."

After finishing talking on the weekend, he looked at Qi Yuan worriedly.

The opponent is too strong, and the Spring Festival stalls are so big, even though the box office of the Spring Festival stalls last year exceeded [-] billion.

But I am afraid that "Aliens Descend on Earth" and "Thousand Years City" will eat up most of the box office.

How much box office can "Crazy Stone" steal from these box office monsters without a well-known actor?

The director of Ren Xia's family is called Zhang Cheng. He has been in distribution for many years and is familiar with the business.

He looked at Qi Yuan and said, "Boss Qi, let me tell you about our preferred plan."

"In fact, we are quite optimistic about this movie of your family. Everyone knows the strength of director Liu Shang. The only gap between it and other blockbuster movies in the same period may be the investment and the fame of the actors."

"So we have a guaranteed release plan here, with a minimum box office of 6.5 million. Within the box office of 5 million, the distribution is divided into 15%, between 12.7 million and 15 billion, the distribution is divided into 8.2%, and the part exceeding [-] billion is [-]% of the excess. "

For a movie, Qi Yuan, as the producer, generally gets 43% of the net box office share, and 57% for theaters and theaters.

After deducting 5% of the national film special fund and 3% value-added tax of the total box office of a film, the remaining 92% is divided between the producer and the cinema.

Take a movie with a total box office of 10 billion.

Theater revenue: 10 billion x 92% x 57%.

Producer's income: 10 billion x 92% x 43%.

The income of the publisher: it is the income of the producer × the ratio of the issuer's account sharing.

Under normal circumstances, if the distributor is more optimistic about a movie, it will sign a guaranteed share contract with the film's producer. As long as the box office eventually exceeds the guaranteed minimum, the distributor's income will be huge.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the cost of a movie is less than 33% of the total box office, it will not lose money.

The total cost of "Crazy Stone" Yuan Cheng is 3500 million, which is much higher than the cost of this movie in the previous life.

But compared to other blockbusters in the Spring Festival, the cost of this movie still seems that the movie itself may be a bit shoddy.

But as long as the box office of this movie exceeds [-] million, Qi Yuan will basically not lose money.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng's 5 million guarantee is already quite optimistic about the drama "Crazy Stone".

But Qi Yuan placed high hopes on this drama.

Therefore, he rejected Zhang Cheng's guaranteed distribution contract.

There is no guarantee, Zhang Cheng, the issuer's share ratio, is set at 8.9% according to the conventional issuance.

所以，《疯狂的石头》，元成最终的收入将会是：总票房×92％×43％×（1-8.9％）≈总票房的36％。

The distribution work of "Crazy Stone" started in full swing.

Including but not limited to copying movies, applying for movie secret keys, sending movies to theaters, doing activities in movie theaters across the country, doing publicity, setting up advertising spots, etc.

……

The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.

Qi Yuan and Liu Shang led the crew to run several popular programs for publicity.

On Weibo, Qi Yuan also contacted many friends to help promote it.

Gu Hongli: "The movie written by my husband, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone must watch it! It's super beautiful! (cute)"

Huang Jie: "My student's movie (Crazy Stone poster), everyone supports it!"

Gu Siji: "I heard that watching "Crazy Stone" with someone you like is more suitable!!"

Hu Caiwei: "I heard that Supreme Treasure doesn't play tricks and has changed to making movies? Let's all go to the cinema to support "Crazy Stone" on New Year's Day!"

He Chong: "How crazy is "Crazy Stone"? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone will know when they go to the cinema!"

Going to Beijing, New Year's Eve.

Qi Yuan led the main creators to start the trial screening of "Crazy Stone" in a theater in Yida.

The participants are mainly the film side, the distributor, and the theater side.

The main purpose of this trial screening is to show the theaters the quality of the film, and hope that they will be able to arrange more films for "Crazy Stone" when it is officially released.

The general managers of the top 20 theater chains in the country were invited to come.

In the dark movie theater, Gu Hongli sat beside Qi Yuan, holding Qi Yuan's hand.

She could feel the sweat overflowing from Qi Yuan's palm.

This is already the second time Gu Hongli has watched this movie, but she still burst into tears from laughter.

Everyone's laughter kept coming from behind, and Gu Hongli knew that everyone still recognized the quality of this drama.

Just don't know what's going to happen at the box office.
