Chapter 1024: Big Investment, Big Return?

"The trick expert invests 15 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office is expected to be 34 million Hong Kong dollars.Flying Eagle plans to invest 115 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office is expected to be 42 million Hong Kong dollars.Fugui Jixiang invests 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office is expected to be 15 million Hong Kong dollars......." "If you don't look at the box office in other cities, the expected rate of return of Fugui Jixiang is high."

Qiao Feng looked at the document in his hand and shook his head speechlessly, but this is still the truth.

If you calculate the yield and it is the local yield, then these low-cost comedies are still higher than the large-investment films.

Although the box office of these films is indeed not high, their investment is also much smaller.

And those films with high box office investments, the investment is very large.

Especially in recent years, it has not been as good as before, and a group of little-known little girls like happy ghosts have fought for the box office noisily, and there are a lot of battles.

But now, the good days of attracting audiences to buy tickets with amateurs and good stories are getting farther and farther away.

Now, without stars, big stars, you don't expect to have too good a box office.

And a big star means a high salary, and a group of big stars means a bunch of high salaries and super high investment.

Although these big stars have boosted the box office of movies with a lot of popularity, they have also successfully pushed up the investment in movies.

Fortunately, often these hugely influential stars also have a lot of fame outside Hong Kong, and they can help the producer sell the film to other cities.

This is why the producer still spends a lot of money to invite big stars even though the yield is not as good as many small investment movies.

Because yield and yield are not the same thing.

There is a world of difference between investing one piece and getting three times the rate of return and investing one million to get double the rate of return.

Like Fugui Jixiang, the trick expert and the Flying Eagle Project, in Qiao Feng's memory, these three films that have been released or have not yet been released, their box office and the document in Qiao Feng's hand have more or less errors in the estimation of the box office of the three movies.

For example, Fugui Jixiang's actual final box office income was only 13 million, and the tricky expert was more than 2 million less than expected, winning more than 31 million, the Flying Eagle Project was the highest, but it was still more than 2 million short of the expected box office of 42 million, only more than 39 million.

If you look at the yield alone, Fugui Jixiang is the highest, not only has the cost recovered in the local market, but also some have earned, and the tricky experts have just recovered their costs, and the Flying Eagle Plan is directly a blood loss.

But in fact, the trick experts and the Flying Eagle plan itself are not aimed at making money in Hong Kong.

The box office in Hong Kong can recover its costs, and even the seven or eight achievements of recovering costs have met the expectations of the producers.

Like a tricky expert, the two male protagonists, whether it is Liu Dehua or Zhou Xingchi, have a huge influence in Southeast Asia, especially Liu Dehua, who is handsome, sings well, or a top star who has been popular since the early eighties, with countless fans, and the box office appeal is not covered.

And the heroines Guan Zhilin and Qiu Shuzhen are both big beauties and also have their own batch of fans.

Therefore, the cost can be recovered in Hong Kong, and the box office of the trickster expert in other places is purely profitable.

Not to mention anything else, the Taiwan market alone is enough for the producers to earn tens of millions of box office.

This is a wealth and auspiciousness that can never be compared.

Of course, wealth and auspiciousness can also be sold at the box office in other cities.

But in addition to the heroine Zhang Manyu, who is a legitimate infrared and a serious actor, others like Zhou Huimin are one level lower than Zhang Manyu.

Among the actors, Zhang Xueyou is very popular, but the singer who has just become popular is far less influential than in a few years.

Lin Zixian, it was okay in the early eighties, but this is the nineties, and it has long gone downhill.

So, there's no comparison.

And just as Fugui auspicious can't compare to the trick expert, the trick expert can't compare to the Flying Eagle plan.

Don't look at the Flying Eagle Plan, the rate of return is far worse than that of the rich and auspicious, or even worse than the tricky experts.

And the box office in Hong Kong is also a bloody loss.

However, no one would think that the Eagle Project would lose money.

Because since the early 80s, when others could only get two million or even hundreds of thousands of salaries, Cheng Long had already received four or five million, five or six million salaries, and at that time, the local box office in Hong Kong was almost not enough to support the return of the movies starring Cheng Long.

But Golden Harvest still pays a huge salary to invest in Cheng Long's movies, naturally not because Golden Harvest is stupid.

It's that people don't expect the local box office in Hong Kong to return to their original costs at all, and what people look at is the appeal of Chenglong's foreign market.

Looking at Taiwan, it is the market of South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and other countries.

Like this Flying Eagle Project, although it paid an investment of more than 100 million yuan in exchange for a box office return of 39 million Hong Kong dollars.

But if people release it in Southeast Asia and East Asian countries, they will earn back a lot of Hong Kong box office.

Like Taiwan, Taiwan's box office will definitely not be worse than Hong Kong's box office.

And this is five or six times the box office in Hong Kong.

Therefore, the document in Qiao Feng's hand predicts that the total box office of the Flying Eagle Project will be around 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

About 300 million Hong Kong dollars, if you remove almost half of the distribution and theaters, the producer's Golden Harvest can get 150 million.

Of course, what Golden Harvest can get is definitely less than half of the total box office revenue.

Because the box office distribution in the local port and the distribution in other cities are different, the proportion of distribution in other cities is definitely low, and some places are not account-sharing, but directly sell copyrights, so the income must be very different from the box office accounting.

However, it is too troublesome to calculate if it is subdivided like that, so it is calculated directly by half, and the difference will not be too much.

The investment is 115 million, and the final income is about 150 million.

Golden Harvest's net profit is almost 35 million.

Definitely a big profit.

But can Golden Harvest say that he is the most profitable movie in this Spring Festival?

Because there are also tricky experts.

Can't forget the tricky experts.

As mentioned above, the tricky experts include Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, Zhilin, and Qiu Shuzhen.

These few people are more influential than Cheng Long in Yueben, and they must not be comparable.

can be influential with Cheng Long in this comparison, and the male artist is also his junior brother Yuan Biao.

But if you cut out the book, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, Guan Zhilin, they are no worse than Cheng Long.

Like Malay, Singapore, and Brunei, they themselves are Chinese in the majority.

This is very different from the original.

There is not much cultural difference in itself, so for Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy, the acceptance of people in these places is much greater than that of Yueben.

Therefore, Cheng Long's influence in these places will not be too strong than Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi.

And the tricky experts are Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi, and the combined influence of the two is enough to make up for the gap with Cheng Long.

Therefore, in Southeast Asia and South Korea, which are much smaller than the original country, the gap between the two sides is basically smoothed, and even Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi still have a big advantage.

In this regard, the report in Qiao Feng's hand predicts the total box office of the tricky experts to be about 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

is also a half-cut division of distribution and theaters, and tricky experts can get about 50 million.

It's a whole 100 million less than the Flying Eagle plan.

But at the same time, the investment of the trick expert is only fifteen million, which is 100 million less than the Flying Eagle Project.

Therefore, the net profit of the trickster expert is about 35 million Hong Kong dollars.

It's the same as the Flying Eagle Project.

It's really not that I don't know, it's a shock.
