Chapter 384: Batch Film (Fourth Update)

In the past, the batch of films was bought for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the box office of one or two hundred million was sold, and a million profits!

Today's batch environment is becoming more and more difficult.

Most buyers see the wholesale as a way to make money, and Berlin, Cannes, and Toronto are flooded with a large number of Chinese buyers.

It should be from "The Expendables" the year before last, bought 500,000 yuan, won a box office result of more than 200 million, and directly detonated the batch film market!

This Nima is so easy to earn!

As a result, in just the past three years, the price of batches has increased fivefold!

Take "Source Code" as an example, originally Yuehua was ready to take it for 500,000 yuan, and then Dongyang Media shouted 1.5 million, and Zhang Duolong directly increased the price by 2 million US dollars...

The summit side was shocked...

2 million US dollars, according to 13% of the box office, the mainland box office is close to 16 million US dollars, they can get such a high account, and they happily agreed...

Yuehua doesn't have any opinions, anyway, they don't expect to eat with films.

Moreover, throughout this year, except for one "The Expendables 2", which won more than 300 million at the box office, most of the batches of films are one-day theatrical tours...

By the way, "The Expendables 2", the box office broke 300 million, but the copyright fee was as high as 8 million US dollars.

Coupled with the investment in publicity and distribution, I really didn't make much money!

Source Code is a big gamble!

$2 million is nothing to Zhang Junsheng, but for the third brother, the meaning is different...

After "Border Storm", the third brother suspended the production of the film, and they couldn't understand the current market environment, why did they break one billion at every turn?

Chen Yu found a business opportunity, that is, to act as an intermediary: some outsiders take money to invest, but they don't know much about the situation in the circle, and it is normal to be trapped.

Brother San set up a consulting company to help outsiders inquire about the real situation of the project, and earned more than 20 million yuan in half a year!

Only then did I have the confidence to press 2 million and bet on "Source Code"...

They succeeded, and according to the current market, the box office of "Source Code" can at least exceed 100 million!

"No Other Love" has a passing reputation, but it is too literary...

Or that the subject matter is too niche - the theme of extramarital love...

Although the shooting is very beautiful, the plot is really a bit excessive.

The box office trend is not very good, the box office was as high as 360 million in the first two weeks, and it fell directly to 44 million in the third week, even if you get the key, it is difficult to break through 500 million...

Yuehua's box office expectation for this movie is 800 million, which is a bit overestimated Zhao Wei's influence!

Thanks to the fact that there are no blockbusters released in September this year, the only "Captain America", the box office and film schedule are not too high.

The first part of "Team America" has a mainland box office of 68 million yuan...

Before the official debut of "The Avengers", the only thing Marvel movies could play was "Iron Man"!

But Yuehua missed "Source Code", and Zhang Junsheng was still quite angry.

If you can miss Source Code now, you might be able to miss Wrestling Daddy in the future!

……

At the end of the Venice Film Festival, Yuehua's "The Sea of People" won the best director, and Ye Dexian of "Sister Peach" won the Venice actress...

Chinese movies are raising their eyebrows again!

"The Sea of People" also found a lot of buyers at the Toronto Film Festival, selling for about $3 million, not making much money, and losing a lot of money despite the publicity fee - in recent years, there are very few film festival films of this type who are willing to take over...

The most reported in China is "The Legend of the White Snake", Boss Yang spent $2 million to have a big party, "White Snake Night", invited a bunch of international film companies, made preliminary contacts, and sold about $8 million of copyright...

This is true, the DVD sales of "The Legend of the White Snake" in North America are very good, surpassing "Ip Man", and the revenue of North American DVDs is almost $10 million, but unfortunately, Yang Gongzi miscalculated the situation and sold it directly to Netflix for $200,000.

Li Lianjie has a group of regular fans in North America...

None of this is the point.

Because of Zhang Junsheng's ban, "Saidek Bale" couldn't find a buyer to take over!

Taiwanese media all kinds of grievances!

Directly spray Zhang Junsheng as a sinner who stirs up cross-strait relations. ’

Some netizens also scolded Zhang Junsheng...

Eh, thanks to Zhang Junsheng in Africa these days, he didn't pay attention to Weibo at all, otherwise, I would really be depressed...

In fact, even if Zhang Junsheng is not blocked, it will be difficult to find a pick-up man in "Saidek Bale"!

"Sai" spent 140 million yuan when the production was completed, and the distribution cost of a film accounted for about 30% of the total investment, how many producers are willing to spend more than 40 million to take over an author's film with such a large investment?

Wei Desheng is not Ma Xiaokang!

In the original time and space, the box office of "Saidek Bale" was not very good!

A bunch of people are still aggrieved: Why is the box office of such an excellent movie as "Saidek Bale" so miserable?

"Braveheart" is also miserable at the box office!

The simplest reason is that this film is non-commercial, so no matter what market it is, it can't compare with the box office of the top commercial blockbusters!

Not only the mainland box office, but also the mainland and overseas box offices of "Saidek Bale" are very poor.

……

Yuehua, office.

Zhang Junsheng looked at the report very calmly and replied casually: "Don't worry about the comments on the Internet, everyone knows that I am radical!"

“… Tell them, shut up as soon as possible, otherwise, I will ask all Taiwanese filmmakers to make a public statement, otherwise they will not be able to enter the mainland to make money!"

"It's just Xu Ruoxuan now,"

Tang Ningyu nodded: "Okay, I'll let them pass the word secretly." ”

"By the way, and that soft shock, last year's East Film Festival, did he drop his tie because of the title?"

“… Yes, but he has a good relationship with Dongyang Media, and he has a lot of movies to be released recently. ”

"Really, they are all blocked, you tell them, just these two for the time being!"

"It's not good, there are several dramas this year, "Love" and "Blood Drops"... It's all cut, and it's hard for the theater to do..."

Zhang Junsheng smiled: "... Am I missing that bit of box office revenue?"

“… Okay, do as you say!"

Zhang Junsheng changed the subject: "Starting next year, there will be as many as 64 foreign-language films released in China, and we will not only focus on the United States, but also introduce films from Tai, India, Japan, and Spain!"

“… France, and France..."

"As I said before, Luc Besson's Europa Pictures will not compensate us for 50 million euros, and French films will not be allowed to appear in Yuehua Cinemas!"

"But Wanda signed a contract with Luc Besson..."

"What does Wanda want to do? I wasn't the only one in Luc Besson's Pit, there was also Zhongying!"

At the beginning, Yuehua cooperated with Europa Pictures and invested 50 million euros in the early stage, including 10 million euros from China Film...

Zhang Junsheng and Luc Besson tore apart, Hollywood knew about it, and Wanda also cooperated with Luc Besson.

Do you think Lao Lu will be grateful for this?
