Chapter 537: King of the Box Office
January 10th.
The total box office of the movie "Thai Embarrassment" officially exceeded 1 billion, and this film not only repeatedly set new records for the box office of domestic films, but also became the first domestic film to exceed 1 billion at the box office.
In the following days, Lin Xiaoguang, who is also a producer and director, appeared on the covers of many media, but he never dreamed that as a pure entertainment star who was not the "main theme", he would appear again in the "News Network" on January 13 and be interviewed by CCTV reporters.
Lin Xiaoguang is really flattered by such an affirmation, because in his eyes, no matter how high the box office is, "Thai Embarrassment" is not such an outstanding movie.
If you take Hollywood movies as the object of comparison, "Thai Embarrassment" is just a comedy genre film that does everything in place.
However, the extremely hot box office, as well as the surging praise and slander from the outside world, only made Lin Xiaoguang lose for a short time, and did not really make him dizzy.
In the past few days, Lin Xiaoguang has been busy with the preparation of the movie "Hypnosis Master" in the company, and after the celebration banquet of "Thai Embarrassment" broke 1 billion, Lin Xiaoguang no longer has any celebrations, and there is basically no need.
Because Lin Xiaoguang knows very well that the limit of "Thai Embarrassment" has been reached, no matter how much it is promoted and celebrated, there is no way to rise at the box office, so it is better to go with the flow.
Sometimes the company is bored, Lin Xiaoguang goes to Xu Zheng's director's office to talk about the new movie, and takes his wife and children to his mother-in-law's house to eat at night.
In four or five days, after Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng discussed, they redrew up a cast list.
Almost several of the main roles already have ideal candidates, and they have been fine-tuned according to the characteristics of the actors compared to the original book.
After handwriting a list of actors, Lin Xiaoguang came back from Xu Zheng's director's office, and it happened that Liang Guoer also came to deliver the materials, so Lin Xiaoguang asked her to take A4 paper and print it out.
"Guo'er, help me print out three copies of this list, one for me, one for Lao Xu, and one for you to keep, and help me find their contact information. ”
Liang Guoer took Lin Xiaoguang's list, tapped the keyboard quickly with her hand, and said as she tapped: "Xiaoguang, do you really want to invite a Hong Kong actress to shoot the female number one in the movie "Master of Hypnosis"?"
Lin Xiaoguang leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and said faintly: "Otherwise, the script has been refined by Ren Peng several times, and from the script, the role of the female number one is indeed suitable for an actress from Hong Kong!"
Liang Guo'er opened her mouth, but stopped talking.
Even if Liang Guoer didn't say it explicitly, in fact, Lin Xiaoguang also understood the meaning of Liang Guoer's words, she just wanted to recommend Cheng Yanxi or Zhao Liying to play the female lead in the movie "Hypnosis Master".
But the female No. 1 Ren Xiaoyan is a female patient who has lived in Hong Kong for a long time, claiming that she can perform supernatural ditching, and her speech is difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction, and she knows how to fight back against the therapist.
The so-called one side of the water and soil raises the other side, Cheng Yanxi is always a native of the womb girl, as for Zhao Liying, she doesn't look like a woman in Hong Kong.
After repeated discussions with Xu Zheng, in order to make the role more appropriate, Lin Xiaoguang, like Xu Zheng, believes that the role of Ren Xiaoyan should be played by an actress in Hong Kong.
So at the beginning, Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng discussed back and forth for a few days before selecting two actresses, Karen Mok and Charmaine Sheh, as candidates.
However, Lin Xiaoguang is more inclined to Charmaine Sheh, while Xu Zheng is more inclined to Mok Wenwei, and in the end, Lin Xiaoguang persuaded Xu Zheng to finalize this female number one.
"But...... As far as I know, the investment in the movie "Hypnotic Master" is as high as 40 million, if you hire a TV coffee like Charmaine Sheh, it is better to choose the actresses of our own company, both of them have made a box office movie, at least there will be no problems in preserving the capital. ”
"Don't worry, Guo'er, although the total investment of "Hypnosis Master" is 40 million, our light and shadow company has only invested a few million, even if it is all lost, I can still help those investors earn it back. ”
"Even if I pounce on this movie, as long as I open my mouth to continue making comedies, a lot of people will wave money and ask me to cooperate!" Lin Xiaoguang knew what she was worried about, smiled, and said proudly.
"Of course I believe you, it's just that you know it in your heart!" Liang Guo'er sighed secretly.
The box office of "Thai Embarrassment" has only passed 1 billion in a few days, how could Liang Guoer not believe that Lin Xiaoguang could earn another 40 million?
If the movie "Master of Hypnosis" was directed by Lin Xiaoguang, Liang Guoer would not worry about this at all, she just didn't believe in Xu Zheng's ability as a director.
After a long screening, "Thai Embarrassment" was fully drawn on January 22, with a total box office exceeding the 1 billion mark, as high as 186.43 million!
"Thai Embarrassment" also won the box office champion from 2011 to 2012, and it is also the box office champion in 2011.
After filming several movies such as "People in Embarrassment", "Those Years", "Love of the Hawthorn Tree", "33 Days of Broken Love", Lin Xiaoguang finally won his first annual box office championship, and he is one step closer to the "big director"!
"The annual box office champion was released, and the well-known director Lin Xiaoguang won the 2011 annual box office champion with "Thai Embarrassment"!"
"The melee of the Lunar New Year stalls has come to an end, and "Thai Embarrassment" has won the championship of the Lunar New Year stalls even after beating films such as "1942" and "The King's Feast"!"
"The next Lunar New Year master, how far is Lin Xiaoguang from sealing the small cylinder?"
"Supporting the domestic "Embarrassment" series of comedies with his own strength, the king of a new generation of comedy?"
"Lin Xiaoguang has become the box office king of the new generation of domestic film market with the release of many movies such as "Thai Embarrassment"!"
……
With the discussion of the media and the people about "Thai Embarrassment", the New Year file is also coming to an end, but the Spring Festival file is not yet coming.
The domestic film market has entered an unprecedented off-season.
From the end of January to the beginning of February, there were only a handful of movies released in theaters, and they could only wait until Valentine's Day, February 14, in the middle of the month, to start fighting again!
However, after "Thai Embarrassment" was released, Lin Xiaoguang did not audience the film market anymore, and the only thing he cared about was how much money he could get for such a big box office of "Thai Embarrassment"!
After all, Lin Xiaoguang appeared as the first producer of "Thai Embarrassment" this time, and his light and shadow company accounted for 30% of the investment share, which is definitely not a small amount.
However, the share that Lin Xiaoguang can get is actually far less exaggerated than the outside world thinks.
First of all, 5% of the money for "Thai Embarrassment" will be distributed to the film fund, that is, about 50 million will be handed over to the Office of the National Film Industry Development Special Fund Management Committee.
According to the latest film industry policy subsidies, films with a box office of more than 500 million will receive a reward fund of 10 million, and "Thai Embarrassment" will also receive tens of millions of production subsidies.
The box office received the film fund fee, paid the tax, and the rest of the money was divided among the filmmakers, theaters, and cinemas.
Although I am not very happy, but in our country, paying taxes is the glorious obligation of every movie.
The 3.3% tax of "Thai Embarrassment" is 36.86 million, and this fee will be paid to the local tax bureaus to which the theater belongs.
"Thai Embarrassment" paid the fund fee and paid the tax, and the rest of the money was divided among the filmmaker, the theater chain, and the cinema.
According to the convention, the theater is divided into 50%, that is, the remaining 91.7% of the 1.087 billion, half of which is owned by the theater, and nearly 510 million is the income of the theater.
Since the six major publishing companies did not succeed in raising the share ratio from 43% to 45% at the end of the year, "Thai Embarrassment" still shares according to the proportion of 43%, and whether it is over 300 million or 800 million, this sharing ratio remains unchanged.
Then, the cinema chain (note: the cinema chain is not the same as the cinema, the cinema chain is similar to the "middleman" between the producer and the cinema, and it is indispensable) can get 7%, which is 68.7 million.
A few big films can get 43%, about 440 million.
Removed the cost of 83 million, and the film "Thai Embarrassment" can leave a gross profit of 360 million.
Then, Lin Xiaoguang finally got nearly 30%, that is, a net income of 108 million.
