Chapter 259: Return on Investment (6/6)
Tangtang is the executive producer, producer, and art director of "Little Times".
Of course, she is more responsible for casting and supervising the shooting...
Guo Xiaosi finished filming "Small Times 1,2" in 70 days, and it was so awesome that it exploded!
The strange thing is that after the movie was released, everyone was scolding Guo Xiaosi or Yang Xiaomi, and no one scolded Tangtang...
There are even many people who praise her for her good investment vision!
The cost of these two movies is 20 million - the publicity + production costs are all exchanged through replacement and advertising placement, and the reason why it costs 20 million is entirely because of the cost of publicity and marketing!
The first part of "Little Times" won 406 million at the box office, and the theater shared 130 million...
The dividends are as follows: Tang Xiao Culture accounts for the majority, deducting the issuance fee of 19.5 million, and the 20 million publicity expenses paid in advance, and 79.5 million is recorded;
The profit is close to 40 million!
and Lichenguang shared ten percent, that is, 13 million;
Huanrui Century shared 8 percent, 10.4 million;
Others are distributed to a small number of investors;
Tangtang is not such a stingy person, and directly rewarded Director Guo with 20%...
Yang Xiaomi also shared eight percent of the account - she also voted a little.
Of course, she herself has been paid 3.2 million...
Speaking of investment, Tang Xiao Culture has invested a total of 30 million, of course, it has been earned back through advertising placement...
Therefore, in addition to the 20 million publicity fees paid in advance, basically 0 investment, 40 million was earned!
Moreover, this is the first one, two consecutive films, "Small Times 2: Aoki Era" will be released soon.
At least another 30 million can be earned...
According to the industry's predictions, "Small Times 2" can at least get 200 million box office...
The return on investment is amazing!
"33 Days of Broken Love" can't compare - 20 million in exchange for at least 600 million box office, "33 Days of Broken Love" investment is of course lower than "Little Times", but the box office is only half of it!
No wonder the fourth master is so popular with capital - he can help make money, of course he is welcome.
……
Tangtang pouted: "They don't dare to scold me!"
"How?"
"I have so many projects on my hands, and I need a bunch of new actors, and they are all vying to please me!"
Belch...
That's right, Tangtang's reputation in the circle is much better than Director Lu's!
Director Lu's three non-use principles: Huayi's actors don't use, Wang Jinghua's actors don't use, Taiwanese actors don't use...
From the Beijing circle, Hong Kong circle...
The Hong Kong circle is not self-conscious, but it is true that there is very little cooperation...
"Now many people want to invest in Tang Xiao Culture, and I have blocked them all..."
"What do you say?"
"Let's just say that we are not short of funds..."
"You can sell it at a premium. ”
The little couple is becoming more and more like the capital side, and the lowest business they talk about is tens of millions...
Lu Xiaoran rested for a week, and then set off on "Gravity".
……
As of July 30, 25 days after the release of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", the mainland box office exceeded 1.6 billion, and Lu Xiaoran topped the box office list in film history!
This time it's not a Chinese-language film, but more than "Avatar"...
South Korea, on the other hand, has 7.8 million moviegoers, and 80 million should not have any problems;
In terms of Japanese benzene, due to the impact of "The Wind Rises", as of July 30, the cumulative box office was 3.2 billion yen, which did not meet Toho's expectations...
"The Wind Rises" is simply a bug, Hayao Miyazaki's film, 1.2 billion yen in the first weekend...
It doesn't seem like much, but "The Wind Rises" can be released for up to half a year, and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" will have to be painted at forty-five after its release!
No why, ask is the Japanese benzene movie protection!
However, all together, it still broke $300 million in Asia - Hong Kong also won 26 million box office...
Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia add up to almost $12 million - thanks to the general failure of Hollywood blockbusters after July, "Lone Ranger", "Spicy Police Flower", "Red Flame Battlefield 2" can't support the volume, "Despicable Me 2", "Monsters University" are cartoons...
"Wolverine 2" will be released on July 26th...
In addition to the problems in this year's North American summer file, except for "Despicable Me 2" and "Monsters University", there are no big hits!
In addition to one "Iron Man 3", "The Lone Ranger", "Return to Earth", etc., are not even 100 million...
The box office of "Underworld Police" stopped at 30 million...
"The Lone Ranger" is the worst, this blockbuster with a production cost of 215 million, a North American box office of 88 million, and the global box office is currently only 230 million...
In the top 20 of the summer file, Orange made two "The Conjuring" and "Human Removal Plan", which were $132 million and $62.47 million respectively!
Shocked Hollywood...
Of course, it hasn't reached the level of joining forces to strangle - horror films are marginal themes after all, and they are not big productions.
Lionsgate was alert.
But Lionsgate has the Hunger Games series, the Divergent series, and the Black Mad Woman series, which must be earned every time it is released...
I don't really care.
……
If calculated by the return on investment ratio, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is definitely not high - it claims to have invested more than 300 million!
Coupled with 60 million ticket subsidies and nearly 50 million publicity and marketing expenses, that is a 400 million production...
Of course, it is definitely not so high, the total cost of oranges for production is less than 50 million, Xijie Entertainment has invested 80 million, and Dongbao has invested 60 million...
The biggest expense is framing, shooting, and hiring people.
After all, transnational shooting...
However, these have been recouped through advertising placement and resource replacement, and the money has been sent to those two companies - otherwise people can be so enthusiastic and don't want money to smash publicity?
You've got to make them see the actual payoff!
In the studio, Lu Xiaoran stared at Ding Yanlai and discussed shooting with Emmanuel Lubezki, while listening to Zhang Jin.
Zhang Jin is reporting to him about the box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark": "Now it is 1.63 billion, and there is still 12 million in a single daily report, and I estimate that it can reach 1.8 billion!"
“... Why not round it up, 2 billion?"
"Are we going to buy the box office?"
"I'm kidding. ”
Lu Xiaoran hurriedly turned his head: "1.8 billion is unlikely, at most 1.65 billion, tomorrow "Fast and Furious 6" and "Pacific Rim" will be released, both of which are Hollywood blockbusters with an investment of over 100 million..."
"China Film should really be asked to push these two movies to September!"
"Don't, "Raiders of the Lost Ark", we have already made money, and there will be at least two or three sequels in the follow-up, be content!"
"You don't know, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was a big hit in the three countries, and the above was very happy, thinking that this was a victory for Chinese films, and sent a document to encourage us to continue to carry forward the style and make more co-productions..."
Lu Xiaoran smiled helplessly: "Or, I will change "Gravity" into a co-production?"
Zhang Jin's eyes lit up: "Can you change it?"
"Do you think Koreans go to heaven or Japanese people go to heaven, do you believe it?"
“... I don't believe it!"
"Isn't this enough, except for China and the United States, no one in the world believes in all countries in the world filming "Gravity"!"
Zhang Jin reminded: "... Russia still has Russia. ”
"The poor all urinate blood, and they still make science fiction movies?"
Zhang Jin pursed his lips and didn't speak...
In fact, Russian films were also wide back then!
The film with the highest investment in film history is Russia... No, it was the Soviet film "War and Peace", which was shot with a total length of 1,540 kilometers, took five years to complete, and cost a whopping $560 million – in 1968.
Inflation translates to $3.823 billion today.
It is the film with the largest investment cost in the history of world cinema.
125,000 actors and 35,000 horses were used!
The most sassy thing is that they... They copied a Moscow.
True, this is a fake Moscow.
The modern Moscow was obviously unable to shoot on the spot, so the Soviet Union built a fake Moscow covering an area of 100,000 square meters in the northeastern suburbs of Moscow, including residential buildings, government agencies, cultural facilities and even a complete Kremlin, which is a unique set in the history of world cinema.
And then what?
In order to shoot the fire of Moscow, this Moscow was burned to the ground ...
