Chapter 194: Returning to Everyday Life (4/6)
Why before 2014?
Because there was a movie in 2014 that made online ticket purchase to the extreme, it immediately triggered a trend, smashing pre-sales through online platforms and affecting the theater schedule...
Buying tickets online has increased from 40% to 80% in one year...
Ground network mode, collapsed overnight!
Later, it slowly evolved into a partner of the film roadshow, and there will be local distribution personnel responsible for arranging everywhere, contacting the live broadcast, distributing gifts, distributing materials, etc...
Shen Mengxi talked a lot about the release with Lao Wang.
Glamorous This year's Chinese New Year file is the main hit "The Big Search", directed by Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang, this movie is very bad, so bad that I can't watch it.
In those years, it seemed that there was a problem with feng shui, no matter which director he cooperated with, it was a shame for the director's career - Tsui Hark, To Qifeng, Chen Jiashang, Liu Weiqiang, without exception, contributed "Deep Sea Search", "Butterfly Flying", "Painting Wall", "Jingwu Fengyun"...
Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang are no exception, "The Great Search", the lowest-scoring work of the two directors' careers...
Therefore, Shen Mengxi decided to cooperate with Guang Xian to release "Wolf Teeth", and he didn't feel guilty at all...
......
It's time to talk about it, and he doesn't want to deal with the rest of the people...
The meeting nodded, and then came to the buffet.
Honey plum meat tastes good!
Just as he was putting it aside to eat, Liu Yifei came over and grabbed his arm directly: "Are you negotiating?"
"Can you be more reserved?"
Shen Mengxi pulled her hand down while looking around vigilantly, mainly looking at the direction of the reporter...
"What's the matter?
“... I don't understand what to eat and wipe clean. ”
"Do you believe it now that I'm loudly announcing that I'm your girlfriend?"
Shen Mengxi looked at her and suddenly smiled: "I don't believe it!"
She smiled too, and then was about to shout, "I..."
“... Don't, I was wrong, I believe it!"
By the way, he explained to the people around him who were eating melons: "We're kidding..."
If you think about it, in the quiet banquet hall, suddenly a girl shouting at the top of her voice must be eye-catching!
There's a madness in this girl...
Once ignited, dare to do anything!
"Okay, I'll take you to meet Huang Zhonglei!"
Liu Yifei paused: "What are you doing seeing him?"
"Your matter with Huayi should be solved!"
“... How so?"
"Let's just say you're my sister... Girlfriend, girlfriend..."
"Let's go. ”
The story of Lao Liu and Hua Yi is quite simple, that is, they took the benefits of others, and the promised things were not fulfilled...
Let's take a look at a set of news: On the 12th anniversary of the establishment of Huayi in 2006, Huang Zhongjun led Li Lianhua and Liu Yifei to the scene!
In 2007, Liu Yifei became the owner of "The King of Kung Fu", or will sign a contract with Huayi Brothers...
And then what?
kicked Hua Yi away and signed with the WMA William Morris agency in the United States.
The domestic one is still its own studio...
She didn't know if Hua Yi retaliated, but she definitely didn't give her a good look...
......
The next day, noon.
Shen Mengxi is checking the accounts of "Ip Man".
By the way, Liu Yifei's matter has been resolved, at least on face...
He personally stepped in...
Lao Liu didn't go home with him last night, and flew to the United States this morning, as if he was going to receive some martial arts training...
Back to the topic, the mainland box office share of "Ip Man" is 42 million, and the TV copyright, audio-visual network copyright plus 7 million...
The mainland's income is less than 50 million...
In fact, if the TV copyright of the film is introduced into the competition mechanism, it can be raised, but in China, the basic CCTV6 is relatively monopolistic and domineering, first of all, the copyright will be signed for 50 years, and then the cost will be based on a box office grade, different grades and different calculation methods, anyway, the maximum is a few million yuan, more than 10 million blockbuster TV copyrights, rare.
Although the Shanghai Oriental Film Channel is supposed to have a competitive relationship, or there are almost seven or eight provincial-level professional film channels on local stations across the country, in fact, they can be combined to jointly buy films and compete with CCTV6, but everyone has a tacit understanding not to break...
Basically, movie channels buy the first broadcast, and other movie channels buy second and third rounds...
"Ip Man" has a box office of more than 120 million, and the TV copyright has sold 5 million!
Audio-visual copyright and network copyright, quite embarrassing, if before 2005, the copyright of audio-visual products can be sold for at least 15 million!
But now piracy is popular, and basically no one reads the genuine version, and the price of audio-visual copyright has dropped to less than 1 million...
An ordinary domestic movie may not be sold for 200,000 yuan.
Internet copyright, not up yet!
There is no legislation to protect copyright on the Internet...
can sell for 1 million, which is already a sky-high price!
The box office in Hong Kong is 31 million Hong Kong dollars, 15 million for the auction, and almost 10 million for the copyright income...
Enough production cost + publicity!
The rest of the overseas rights are net earnings – close to $16 million...
Therefore, Shen Mengxi dared to increase the production cost of "Ip Man 2" to 60 million - of which Zhen Dan's salary is 20 million Hong Kong dollars...
Split accounts with Yindu four or six and recorded 10 million US dollars.
It's a big chunk of this year's income...
It's good, I'm half of the royalties for the three parts of "Moving Maze", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and "Divergent"...
Shen Mengxi was settling accounts when he suddenly heard a voice: "Boss!"
“... Why don't you knock?"
Taken aback!
“... I knocked on the door, you didn't hear me!"
"Say, what's the matter?"
"Did we make some kind of "Human Eradication Plan"?"
“... Right... That film seems to have been released, how was the box office on the first weekend?"
"Very good! The first weekend box office was $37 million, winning the weekly championship!"
Shen Mengxi was taken aback: "Really?
Quickly took out his mobile phone and prepared to call David, and then found that his phone was out of battery...
No wonder David doesn't call!
"Do you have David's contact information?"
"There's... That's what he called me!"
“... Dial it out!"
......
"Human Eradication Plan", the old beauty on the other side of the ocean is on fire!
And it's a little inexplicable!
The setting is relatively fresh: legal killing, legal anti-humanity, legal anger, jealousy, indifference...
But a lot of dystopian movies have used similar settings!
This film is not a good work, and it can almost only be regarded as a passing licensed product in terms of technical means.
According to the opinion of some film critics: is it definitely a milestone work with an excellent movie theme, such a good background, and if it is shot well, it is a bad movie!
But the audience just loves to watch the killing...
With a production cost of less than 3 million, it won more than ten times the box office in the first weekend, and the box office exploded!
"Lionsgate was going to release it next week, just in time for Halloween, and they were going to release Jigsaw, so let's release it a week early..."
"I didn't expect that the movies released this week were not very good, and "Human Erasure Project" suddenly occupied the top of the box office list!"
"Our film has a good chance of grossing more than $80 million at the U.S. box office..."
"What about overseas copyrights?"
