Chapter 45: The First Split (2/8)
"The Fault in the Stars" was screened in North America for 68 days and was released.
The issuer immediately urged the theater to divide the account!
The cumulative box office is $152 million.
It's a big cake!
But this huge amount of money will not fall into the pocket of any person or company, from the theater chain to the industry, and then from production to investment, many aspects will share this cake.
about 35 percent of the theaters are intercepted;
The issuer takes about 30 percent - that's the rule: 15 percent of the issuance plus nearly $20 million in promotional advances...
There are bills that can be queried, and every expense can be checked: the film's trial screening public relations, capital recovery costs, hiring an investigation company, secretly checking the theater box office, various publicity expenses...
If you don't have a distribution channel, the profits will be divided in vain!
You see, $152 million is instantly only $53 million...
The rest of the money is the investor's!
Then, under the urging of the lawyer hired by Qiancheng Film and Television, the funds arrived...
Minghui Studio invested 4 million US dollars, plus 5% of Shen Ming's actor status, and took 45% of 53 million, and the first share was 23 million US dollars, which was converted into nearly 150 million yuan!
All at once rich...
You must know that Shen Ming's Minghui studio has very tight circulating funds.
This is just the first batch, and after that, there will be copyright sharing, global box office sharing...
Forty percent of this money has to be given to Milk Xiao...
Milk Xiao gave Shen Ming 11 million, 3 million to invest in "The Fault in Star Fortune", and 8 million in "District 9"...
He invested according to the level of financial constraints, not because he felt that "District 9" was more lucrative...
It's miserable now, no matter how awesome "District 9" is, it can't be like "The Fault in the Stars"...
A professional statistical agency in North America has analyzed it: the investment income ratio of "The Fault in the Stars" has ranked among the top five in the past ten years!
However, this year's "Return of the Clown It" is too awesome, with a production cost of 35 million, and the current North American box office has exceeded 300 million US dollars, and everyone's eyes are focused on it...
……
Three o'clock in the morning, on the set.
Shen Ming felt that his whole person was sublimated...
Guo Fan is a psychopath!
Don't treat the actor as a person at all!
For five days in a row, I started shooting at eight o'clock in the morning and got off work at three or four o'clock in the evening...
Don't treat the actor as a person, forget it, Shen Ming is in good health, and he has experienced this kind of tense filming before, as long as there is a gap, he will sleep upside down, which can replenish some physical strength, but Zhao Jinmai is only 14 years old...
Sure enough, the directors are all impersonal robots!
Brother Ming felt like he was depressed...
The brain is empty, making expressions mechanically, saying lines.
"Okay, it's over!"
Accompanying the director's words, the staff hurriedly ran over and helped Shen Ming uncover the helmet: "Hurry up, give oxygen..."
After taking a few big breaths of oxygen, Shen Ming pushed the staff away and turned his head to find Zhao Jinmai...
The little girl was lying on her back in the open space next to her, with her hat on her pillow, and she was already lying on her back. Already asleep...
Assistant director Yu Gang, who likes Zhao Jinmai very much, was distressed when he saw this scene, so he quickly woke her up, asked the staff to help untie the costume, and then ran to Guo Fan, who was discussing the next shooting with the photographer: "... That's all for today, director!"
“… What about the other two shots?"
Guo Fan didn't reply.
Inhumane!
"But the actor can't hold on!"
"Really?"
Guo Fan glanced at Shen Ming, who was making bucket noodles for Zhao Jinmai, and asked, "Shen Ming, is it okay?"
“… I'm okay, let the wheat finish the supper and go back to sleep!"
Guo Fan pushed down his glasses and looked at Zhao Jinmai, who was crooked on Shen Ming's body: "Okay, Sister Li, you send the child back to rest!"
Sister Li was a medical worker at the scene, and she had already fallen asleep on her stomach, and when she heard someone calling her, she stood up directly, took a stethoscope and walked over: "What's wrong?"
“… You take the baby back first!"
"Oh... Good!"
Zhao Jinmai woke up: "I won't go back, there are two more scenes, I'll sleep after filming!"
Shen Ming hurriedly persuaded: "... Obedient, children lack sleep, they will not grow tall!"
"You don't lie to me, you grow tall because the pituitary gland secretes hormones, and it has nothing to do with how much you sleep!"
“… Okay, it's okay, let's keep shooting!"
Damn, today's child knows a lot, he doesn't know what the pituitary gland is!
……
The reason why I have been working overtime to shoot in recent days is because Shen Ming, Cheng Xiao, and Peng Peng have to take leave in two days.
Attend the Bazaar Charity Dinner!
He didn't really want to go, and always felt that the so-called charity banquet was just a collective show, which was not interesting.
In fact, after Shen Ming made money, according to Shen's father's request, he would donate a fixed amount of 200,000 yuan every month to the Hope Project or local charities, all in Shen Ming's name.
Father Shen has always firmly believed in one sentence: reputation is a person's prestige, and with a good reputation, a person is already invincible!
He took this sentence as a motto, so after his son became famous, he must do public welfare!
Although there is some utilitarianism, Shen Ming has been doing...
And marketing also blows occasionally, is it necessary to attend a charity banquet?
But Yang Xin said that he must go this year!
Su Mang has been invited for two years in a row!
This year, Shen Ming has to support the field...
So what to do?
Go!
There will be a delay of at least two days back and forth, and the impact on the shooting can only be solved by working overtime...
By the way, Wu Jing came here two days ago, looked at the filming on the scene, and then signed the actor contract... Like Shen Ming, he also has a salary of 2 million, but he brings his own investment, and Dengfeng Film and Television has added 60 million funds...
So far, Shen Ming and Wu Jing have cooperated again.
The news came out, and there were all kinds of discussions on the Internet.
Public opinion is no longer as crazy and ridiculed as before, and many people are cautious and wait-and-see!
The current box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is infinitely close to 6 billion......
Created a new box office record in Asia!
Wu Jing and Shen Ming, from "Kill the Wolf 2" to "Wolf Warrior 2", this time it's finally not 2...
Even if it is a domestic sci-fi film, many people also think highly of "The Wandering Earth", after all, it is the two box office champions who work together again!
The most excited are science fiction fans, especially Shen Ming, who released several concept pictures of "The Wandering Earth" and a handsome photo of him wearing an exoskeleton device...
Immediately, a sense of sci-fi came to my face!
It's not like "Cyborg" or "Future Police" in the guise of science fiction, but it's actually a messy work that cheats money...
A bunch of production companies knocked on the side to inquire about the exact release date of "The Wandering Earth", but Guo Fan couldn't be sure, because there were too many special effects shots in the later stage, and it took time to do special effects.
……
On the 25th, Shen Ming, Cheng Xiao, and Peng Peng changed into civilian clothes and went directly to the airport from the hotel.
Peng Peng sat in the front seat and slept as soon as he got in the car.
In the back row, Milk Xiao leaned on Shen Ming's arms, and was also about to close his eyes - he stayed up all night last night.
"By the way, your money, I asked the company to call you!"
“… I knew, my mom saw it and took it all!"
"All?"
That's 60 million!
"Mom said to help me save it..."
"Left to you as a dowry?"
