Chapter 698: Benchmark Figure
Wang Ye said that letting the audience choose their favorite programs to go to the Spring Festival Gala sounds quite feasible, but is it really possible?
Even if a program of "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala" is held, even if it is chosen by the audience in the end, it only represents the wishes of a few people, and does not represent the national audience.
Director Xue was a little hesitant, hesitating whether the idea Wang Ye said would work.
Wang Ye couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that Director Xue had been hesitating, but he could understand Director Xue, when he reached his position, he basically lacked the spirit of hard work, and he didn't feel like taking risks, just thinking about keeping the little thing in front of him.
This is also a common problem for people like them, the complex and changeable workplace has worn off the edges and corners of their youth and become more and more smooth.
Wang Ye didn't try to persuade Director Xue, saying too much would make it back, and maybe it would affect the relationship between the two.
It didn't take long for Wang Ye to leave, Director Xue nodded, and did not stay, he was very confused now, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Wang Ye.
Early the next morning, Wang Ye flew back to the magic capital by plane.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Wang Ye suddenly received a call from Director Xue.
"Brother, can you elaborate on your last offer?"
"Proposal?"
A month has passed, and Wang Ye has not reacted for a while, what is the proposal that Director Xue said.
Since he came back, he has been busy with the promotion of "Kung Fu Panda" all day long.
As early as more than ten days ago, "Kung Fu Panda" had been drawn in North America, and the final box office was locked at $250 million.
Forty days after it was released in Huaxia, it was also the next painting, and the box office was fixed at 980 million, which was not so interesting as Wang Ye's estimated box office of 1 billion, but no one criticized Wang Ye about it.
There are also people within the company who propose that the company take out the money to fill the vacancy, but Wang Ye did not agree, he felt that if he did not reach it, he would not achieve it, and sometimes it would not lose a kind of beauty.
Since I didn't meet my expectations, it means that my work is not as good as I imagined, and there is still room for hard work, just work hard next time.
Although it did not reach one billion, there was no media that came out to criticize Wang Ye.
What a terrible thing it is for an animated film to achieve a box office of 980 million, and who would have thought that one day an animated film could achieve such good results.
In those days, almost all the media were reporting the news that "Kung Fu Panda" achieved a box office of 980 million.
And that's just the domestic box office, if you add the North American box office, how much is that?
So far, it has achieved a high box office of $3.8, and some so-called professionals estimate that the global box office of "Kung Fu Panda" will eventually be around $700 million.
If it can achieve a global box office of 600 million US dollars, according to the proportion of sharing with Huaxia Cinemas, as well as the agreement signed with Luc Besson.
At that time, the agreement with Luc Besson was that he would take over all the overseas distribution, but he would take 15% of the overseas profits, including box office profits and DVD revenues, but not copyrights.
Now that the overseas box office is only out of the North American box office, according to the signed agreement, it can probably be divided into 180 million with the theater chain, and Luc Besson will take 15% of it, about 27 million US dollars, and the remaining 153 million US dollars will all be Wang Ye's.
Coupled with the box office share in mainland China, so far, Wang Ye has earned 1.6 billion yuan with this movie alone.
Removing the production cost and the mainland publicity cost of about 1 billion, that is to say, Wang Ye has not only recovered the cost, but also earned 600 million.
Isn't it very profitable?
Do you also want to make movies?
And that's just the box office revenue, but also the movie merchandise and DVD revenue, and then the various rights haven't been bought.
Liu Sijun basically didn't return to China during this time, and he has been staring at the surrounding areas of the movie abroad, and he called Wang Ye last time.
The look of excitement is no different from that of a three-year-old child.
This is not to blame him, because the movie peripherals are too profitable, and as of the moment he called, the revenue from the movie peripherals has reached 400 million US dollars.
With this movie alone, Wang Ye has made a lot of money and made a lot of money.
Liu Sijun also became a billionaire all of a sudden because of this movie.
Luc Besson is also very energetic now, and is currently promoting the release in other overseas regions, striving for an early release, so that he can also earn more.
It may be that just the overseas movie box office share can allow him to earn back the overseas publicity and distribution costs, and then the DVD revenue share becomes his net income.
Of course, Wang Ye earns more, and it is conservatively estimated that the movie "Kung Fu Panda" can bring him a net income of 700 million US dollars.
Who can do it in China at the moment?
Wang Ye still believes in making a lot of money in a muffled voice, and his wealth is not exposed, not to mention that there is so much money, he doesn't want to publicize how much money he has earned, so let those media guess.
This is only the interests on the surface, Wang Ye filmed "Kung Fu Panda", and achieved such good results abroad, so that countless people abroad can understand Chinese kung fu and Chinese culture again, which makes Wang Ye very satisfied.
There is a heavyweight leader who said in public.
Chinese culture is the spiritual lifeblood of the Chinese nation and the spiritual pillar of the Chinese people.
The 5,000-year-old traditional culture is an inexhaustible and precious resource for artistic creation.
How to let domestic films go out and go to the world is a question worth thinking about for all filmmakers.
To promote domestic films, especially animated films, we must always strengthen cultural self-confidence, adhere to cultural positions, inherit Chinese cultural genes, and carry forward the spirit of Chinese aesthetics.
The characters of "Kung Fu Panda" have both the essence of tradition and transcend the limitations of tradition, the spirit of fearlessness and indomitable spirit, and the chagrin and anxiety of ordinary people.
Therefore, it is easy to form a resonance with the new generation of moviegoers. Culture going out is not only the going out of exhibitions and performances, but also the going out of concepts, concepts and philosophies.
The process of "Kung Fu Panda" being prepared for 3 years, producing for 3 years and being loved by the audience today proves that under the prosperous market, filmmakers must endure loneliness and keep the bottom line.
Wang Ye was suddenly made into a benchmark figure for Chinese films to go global.
This is both encouragement and spur, and this identity also makes Wang Ye feel pressure and motivation.
I know that I can't just make movies to make money in the future, but also think about how to promote the long history and culture of China to people all over the world.
At first, Wang Ye was quite complacent, thinking that the leader valued him, but later found out that the leader was just using him to send a signal to the outside world, a signal that the government would increase its support for films, and a signal to encourage Chinese films to go out.
