July is the official summer season.

On the Kirin movie side, first "Happy Ghost 2" is the big head, and then Lin Lingdong has an action movie released.

Next month, "Spicy Hand Detective", jointly produced by Kirin Films and McDonald Bear Studios, will also be released in high anticipation.

This is the first and last film of Liang Chaowei before he went to Hollywood, and it is the first Kirin film work of Cannes actor and Oscar nominee Zhou Yunfa in the new year, which is very much expected.

South Korean cinema chains have paid a sky-high $5 million for buyout and distribution.

If calculated according to this ratio, they must have at least 10 million US dollars at the box office to return to their original cost, almost 80 million Hong Kong dollars, before they can start making money.

In the past, except for some blockbusters in Europe and the United States, few films in South Korea could have a total box office of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

It's also a great gamble for them.

But it's not a random pursuit, it's not a purposeless influx of crazy hot money like the 90s.

Korean cinemas are very carefully calculated and considered.

The admiration of South Koreans for Europe and the United States is more serious than that of Japan.

Zhou Yanfa won the honor of Cannes Best Actor and Oscar Actor candidate in one go, the absolute number one star in Asia, no one can compare with him, and Koreans naturally worship him.

The other, Liang Chaowei, is more popular with young people aged 18-25 than Zhou Yanfa.

Because Liang Chaowei is so handsome, and he has been touring to South Korea for two consecutive years, he has spared no effort to promote and interact, and he is sunny and generous, which has brought countless fans.

These two people are combined, and Yin Jun, the world's No. 1 screenwriter, is blessed, so it's no wonder that Korean theaters don't pay attention to it.

At this price buyout, if they play it for a long time, maybe there will be a profit surprise.

Faced with such a large amount of temptation, Yu Zheng still chose to refuse.

Even if the filming cost of "Hot Hand Detective" is only 40 million, after getting the 5 million US dollars, there is still money to be made.

Wait a minute.

Since Zhou Yanfa won the Cannes Best Actor, with the glory of being nominated for an Oscar, the outside offer is already 10 million.

If you calculate according to this, there is also Yin Jun's script fee, which is definitely not inferior to Zhou Yanfa's salary, and Liang Chaowei's salary...... The labor alone has to exceed 30 million, is the cost of shooting less than 10 million, compressed to the extreme?

This is certainly not the case.

Whether it is Zhou Yanfa, Liang Chaowei, or McDonald Bear Studio, or Yin Jun's script, they all use a low-guarantee dividend system.

Zhou Yanfa's guaranteed salary is only 1 million, Liang Chaowei is 500,000, and Mai Dangxiong and Yin Jun did not get a guarantee at all.

It means that if "Hot Hand Detective" doesn't make money, then everyone will lose money.

But if "Spicy Detective" makes money, more than 50% of the profits will be distributed to them.

Everyone thinks this dividend strategy is very reasonable, after all, this is Yin Jun's script.

Therefore, in addition to the expenses of supporting roles and behind-the-scenes workers, 30 million yuan of "Hot Hand Detective" is used for filming and post-production.

If possible dividend expenses are added, it will basically be doubled to 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and Kirin Films can barely save its capital - not including publicity and other expenses.

In the cooperation with Xiangjiang Films, in fact, many foreign cinema distributors have adopted a buyout strategy in the past, and everything is gambled with their own vision.

If you gamble correctly, you will get rich.

If you lose a bet, you lose money.

It was also after Yin Jun established the Kirin Film Company that it gradually turned into a sharing strategy.

In this way, film companies make money, distributors make money, and theaters also make money.

Everyone has to make money to make this cooperation last for a long time.

It is with this trick that future Hollywood movies dominate the world.

Those European films that only do art are not taken seriously by the theater companies, and if you lose, you will lose because you can't make money for them.

You can't even make me money, why should I use it for release?

Is it fun to lose money?

……

Compared with the "small fight" Kirin film in Xiangjiang, the two major film production companies under the North American branch of the Kirin Group are more busy.

This summer, they have a total of 12 movies to be released in July, August, and September, with an average of 4 films a month.

The first to start in July is "Mean Girls" for young men and women.

Like Asia's "Happy Ghost 2", Sophie Marceau directly attracted young people aged 15-25 in the United States and even Europe to go to the cinema again and again to watch this eye-catching and youthful movie.

Relying on the strong support of the students, in just one week, the box office of "Mean Girl" in North America exceeded 100 million US dollars!

As a youth film, the box office in North America is at best 50 or 60 million US dollars in the first week, which has doubled in one breath, which is simply unimaginable.

The source of this box office miracle is not the sudden outbreak of the box office, but the average.

From weekends to weekdays, the box office of each day is not much different, and even the most deserted Tuesdays and Wednesdays have a single-day box office of about 10 million.

This shows the power of students on vacation!!

The same is true in Europe, where the box office reported about 60 million a week, breaking the previous record of "Juno".

In four weeks, the global box office of "Mean Girls" exceeded $600 million, breaking multiple box office records again.

For the first time, Hollywood production companies began to pay attention to this category of "youth idol movies".

As a result, not only Sophie Marceau's youthful jade x image has been improved again, but the beauty and actresses of several supporting roles have also become popular, and they have the potential to become a new generation of pop idols.

They kept making film appointments one by one, and at least they all took invitations to make 3 films.

Not to mention Sophie Marceau.

Although Sophie Marceau is not yet eighteen years old, she has already proven herself with an Oscar nomination, as well as two blockbuster A-list productions.

Therefore, her agent Jenny received invitations to 18 movies in one go, 5 of which are from Europe, and there are many invitations from the seven Hollywood giants.

The highest salaries are more than $10 million.

But alas, Jenny had to refuse them all.

The reason is that Sophie Marceau is ready to follow the crew of "Journey to India" directed by David Lean to India for about half a year of filming.

"Journey to India", under the intervention of Yin Jun, changed the fate of the past.

In the face of his last directorial work, David Lean thought about it carefully, and still defected to the Kirin Group and the Disney Company.

He gave all the copyright and distribution rights to Disney, and he retained the directing and final editing rights, which already made him overjoyed.

Originally, Disney was not ready to give him the final editing rights, even if David Lean was the number one director in the UK.

But Yin Jun spoke directly, saying that the production matters were all handed over to director David Lean, and Disney could only do it.

Then David Lean also received $30 million in production funding.

That's twice as much money as the British production company promised!

And Yin Jun also said, try to do a good job, if it is not enough, it can be approved again, and the old man's last movie must be made into a classic without regrets.

Hearing this at that time, David Lane couldn't help but have a sour nose, feeling that although this young man was too old and his own age gap, he was definitely his confidant.

Because of this, David Lean spent a lot of time in the United Kingdom and the United States in the past few months, spending a lot of his heart and soul to make all kinds of preparations for "Journey to India".

After getting ready, he took the crew of more than 100 people to India.

Many people were surprised that Sophie Marceau did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and consolidate her status as a "youth jade x", and many girls of the same age felt lucky.

They feel that Sophie Marceau's year and a half away from Hollywood is the best time for them to take the opportunity to counterattack and seize her position.

Leave this matter out of the way.

Another sci-fi film with Spielberg as the producer and Yin Jun personally approving the project - "Back to the Future", was actually released together with "Mean Girl".

At the beginning, its momentum was not as good as "Mean Girl", but with the spread of word-of-mouth, with the praise of film critics, and the deep heritage and sincere emotions it has, the box office gradually began to explode.

In the second week, "Back to the Future" earned $83 million, more than the $67 million in the first week, and then another $75 million in the third week, breaking $200 million at the box office.

With the strength of these two films, Kirin Group has already occupied an advantage in the summer file in July.

But Disney and United Arts Pictures are definitely more than just these two movies.

"Top Gun", which has been scheduled for August, has released two trailers in early July, the gorgeous plane flight, the handsome and cool pilots, especially Fei Xiang's pilot style, directly detonated the attention of countless young men and women.

Tom Cruise is a handsome guy, but in Yin Jun's opinion, he is still inferior to Fei Xianglai.

The reason why Fei Xiang was not prosperous in his previous life was because he chose to develop in the Chinese-speaking circle by himself.

In this life, Yin Jun pulled Fei Xiang to Hollywood for development, coupled with the strong support of the Kirin Group, Fei Xiang certainly has a super high exposure.

Not to mention that in fact, two years ago, the movie "Speed of Life and Death" was also very brilliant in the United States, and everyone remembers this hybrid who defeated "Superman".

A large amount of publicity expenses have been spent, as well as the strong support of the US Air Force, and the emergence of various new fighters are all reasons why the weekly magazine of the movie has listed "Top Gun" as one of the important movies that must be watched in August this year.

After "Top Gun" in August, in September, United Arts Film Company will usher in another of its ace blockbusters - "Die Hard".

Although the starring role is Jack Chen, a native of Hong Kong, the director is the famous James Cameron, who became famous for "The Terminator".

After watching the rough cut film, Lianyi Film Company decided to take "Die Hard" as the finishing work of the summer file.

If it weren't for the fact that the protagonist was a Xiangjiang person, they would even want to squeeze "Die Hard" into late August, even if it had a little conflict with "Top Gun".

But Rao is like this, and they also estimated the North American box office of "Die Hard" to be around 200 million US dollars.

In this era, there are many lonely hero movies like "Die Hard", but you can solve all the bandits alone in a building, and it is such a hearty movie, but there is no movie at all.

In a way, it's like an urban version of First Blood, and then in terms of action and gunplay, it's better.

James Cameron's directing talent is really not to be underestimated!
