"The success in the electronics industry is enough to make Eric Xu the world's new self-made top rich, but to the author's surprise, Mr. Xu has come to Hollywood again!

"Moving Forward with Weight", which touched countless people's hearts in the middle of last year, is actually Eric Xu's masterpiece, and now "Home Alone" has inherited his talent for comedy plot design, and has completely conquered countless families throughout the United States!

According to professional estimates, Eric Xu can get more than $50 million for the North American box office alone, and with the subsequent global box office and future peripheral income such as videotapes, the return rate of the film is enough to go down in the history of Hollywood films and global commercial investment......

And this entrepreneurial hero from Xiangjiang, according to professional estimates, is already worth as much as 500 million US dollars, if his company can create a few more games of the same quality as tank battles, or make another hit movie, then it is very likely that the name Eric Xu will go down in history, because he will be the first self-made super-rich man worth more than a billion dollars!"

"!" Xu Zhi couldn't help but feel a pain after reading the newspaper, this group of reporters is really awesome, they even took their own photos, but they didn't take them secretly, but they came from Xiangjiang.

And the reporters are really pervasive, even the profits of their own arcade machines have been exposed, and they can't get the positive information of the company's annual report, so they use the data of their peers to compare, although this method is not accurate, but the approximate data will not be wrong.

The key is that bullshit valuation of $500 million, valuation is always valuation, that is actually an expectation, the value determined by overdrawing future earnings, and now the arcade side of the capital is returning quickly, but even if the income from the movie is added, in the short term, without using the arcade money, it is estimated that he will not even be able to get out of 100 million dollars in cash, but the big hat of the media has been pressed hard......

......

The hot box office of "Home Alone" has naturally attracted the attention of many professional companies, especially Columbia Pictures, they have made a lot of money in the film distribution in North America, but after the huge dollar income, they also found a problem: the global distribution and subsequent peripheral distribution rights of "Home Alone" are not in their hands.

David Klein personally came to the Intercontinental Hotel to visit Xu Zhi.

In fact, after the filming of "Home Alone" was completed, the purchased house was empty, and after the professional cleaning staff cleaned up, the villa was no worse than the hotel.

But after the movie was released, all kinds of media and passers-by came to see the film, and Xu Zhi was besieged several times before he was forced to return to the hotel.

In the Presidential Suite:

David Klein looked at Xu Zhi, who was leisurely drinking coffee in front of him, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Eric, after this movie, you will become one of the super-rich people in Asia." ”

"Impossible, even if it is in name. Xu Zhi shook his head and said.

No matter where it is, the real rich family is inconspicuous, turning over the rich list of the world in later generations, more than half of the people are self-made, think about it with your feet to know that it is impossible, those once glorious families are missing?

David said: "Eric, you are still young, this is just the beginning, the harvest of this film is also one of the few in the history of Hollywood, but at present, the benefits have not been maximized, our Columbia company intends to completely promote this film to the world, and we also have a perfect channel for the follow-up video release, I don't know what Eric thinks?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "How to calculate overseas issuance?"

David said: "If you issue overseas, there are too many countries involved, and the policies of each country are different, if each region adopts dividends, it is too troublesome to calculate, so under normal circumstances, we are a one-time buyout, Eric you can directly take a sum of money, and then the follow-up has nothing to do with you." ”

This is indeed the truth, there are too many interests and relationships involved in overseas distribution, that is, even the films of Hollywood giants, except for some developed regions in Asia and Europe, many are outsourced for distribution, and in some non-developed countries, they are basically sold out to local theaters at one time, which is actually the same as Xiangjiang Films selling to other cities.

For the films of small companies, many times it would be good to have distribution companies willing to distribute overseas, and basically the results are generally that the film can only earn money at the North American box office.

Xu Zhi asked, "Then how much are you going to spend on the buyout?"

David held out 2 fingers and said, "$20 million." ”

"It's too little!" Xu Zhi frowned and said, under normal circumstances, the global non-North American box office is about the same as the entire North American box office, and the current North American box office of "Home Alone" is about to exceed 200 million US dollars, and the overseas box office should be about the same number.

Hollywood has been in business for nearly 100 years and has its own complete set of box office estimation methods, the nature of a movie, the North American box office, attendance rate, word of mouth, audience group and other data are summarized, and the subsequent global box office or video revenue can be calculated, which is also the basis for the buyout price data of major Hollywood distribution companies.

David shook his head and said: "Eric, this is already a very favorable price, overseas distribution will involve foreign local distribution companies, and they will also have a commission, which is an additional investment." ”

Xu Zhi asked again: "What about the distribution of the videotape?"

There is a difference between Hollywood's films and the mainland of Hong Kong and later generations, that is, for the production company, the peripheral income far exceeds the box office itself, for them, the box office is not used to return to the cost, but to show the results, the box office is good, then the follow-up peripheral development is the real big head.

The income of the peripherals is generally videotapes, TV broadcasts, image licensing, etc., and a special one is the toy series, such as Star Wars series, Transformers, Disney's cartoons, etc.

The main periphery of "Home Alone" is the follow-up video tape income, which is also a large income, and if the distribution company's channel promotion is in place, it will definitely exceed the box office revenue.

"Under normal circumstances, we take 30% of the video tape and TV copyright, and 50% of the derivative product. David smiled and said: "But for the sake of our long-term cooperation in the future, I can reduce the percentage of video tape and TV rights to 25%, and we will reduce the derivatives to 30%, which is the proportion in North America, and 10 percentage points each for overseas." ”
