In the face of Zhang Hongbing and the mainland's kindness, what was Yin Jun's reaction?

Agreed, of course!

It's just that how to agree and how to do it is a technical job.

"What we are preparing is to introduce the box office sharing system of Xiangjiang, and after counting the box office, we will give you the box office that should belong to the Kirin movie, and everything will be in accordance with the rules of the market. "Zhang Hongbing is the head of the way.

Yin Jun's face was subtle when he heard this, and he asked directly, "Who thought of this method?"

"Me!"

Zhang Hongbing said with a smile, "I discussed with the people of Zhongyuan Film Company, and I think it's time to change the backward film market system in the domestic mainland." This division is the first step to learn from Hong Kong. ”

Zhang Hongbing is a person working in Xiangjiang, and as a person working in the front line, the mainland will give full consideration to their opinions.

In addition, everyone knows that Zhang Hongbing and Yin Jun have a good relationship, maybe this is what Yin Jun proposed, so the above cultural departments directly agreed.

Zhang Hongbing came over today, but in fact, he was just to discuss the details.

But unexpectedly, Yin Jun shook his head directly, "What do I want their box office share for?" Director Zhang, who doesn't know that the movie theaters in the mainland are notoriously chaotic? Let's not talk about the baba movies in the countryside, nor the movie theaters in the town and county, but only the movie theaters in the big cities, how professional are they in the box office statistics? If I count on the box office share, I'm afraid it may not be higher than Xiangjiang. ”

Zhang Hongbing was stunned, he said in disbelief: "Jun Shao, you also know it, right? The box office of this year's "Shaolin Temple" has exceeded 100 million in the mainland! This is RMB! Which movie in Xiangjiang can be higher than it?"

"The success of "Shaolin Temple" is true, but it is only such a film. Yin Jun looked at him and said, "Then tell me, how much share did the Central Plains Film Company get?"

Zhang Hongbing was surprised, and he was a little puzzled, "I don't know, don't they take much?"

"I can't say too much, after all, they are supported from above. Yin Jun said, "They took a share of about 8 million yuan, which was converted into 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to their net profit in the past three years." But compared to the more than 100 million yuan box office in the mainland, do you think this amount is reasonable?"

"Huh?" Zhang Hongbing couldn't understand, "Then how do they enthusiastically promote this mainland box office sharing system?"

Yin Jun smiled.

Now he knows the intentions of the Central Plains Film Company.

To say that the Central Plains Film Company, a state-supported company, is actually not very easy.

For many years, they have relied on the support of the mainland to survive, and the merger of Phoenix and the Great Wall is that they feel that if they don't work hard, they may really hang up.

However, even after the merger, they didn't make much money, and they worked hard to make many movies every year, and they had to rely on Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai to buy out the distribution of foreign cities to make some money.

In fact, they all know that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest are betting on both sides and buying the right to issue is simply losing money, and they belong to the kind of money that spends money to buy impressions.

So earning 30 million Hong Kong dollars in three years is actually quite a lot.

Only this "Shaolin Temple" made the Central Plains Film Company raise its eyebrows.

They didn't just earn 30 million yuan in the mainland, that's a small amount.

"Shaolin Temple" was released in Asia for a total of 12 weeks, that is, about three months, and earned a total of nearly 500 million at the box office, because the copy was provided by Yin Jun, so the share was 60%, and then after deducting taxes and so on, the share was a net profit of 230 million Hong Kong dollars.

That's not all, "Shaolin Temple" was also screened in Europe and the United States by Dinis and Lianyi Film Company, and earned a total box office of 80 million US dollars in one go, in which as the copyright owner of the film, the net profit of "Shaolin Temple" is 120 million Hong Kong dollars.

The sum of the two is HK$350 million.

According to Yin Jun's agreement with them, these profits are half of that of Zhongyuan Film Company, that is, 175 million Hong Kong dollars.

That's almost 6 times the box office from the mainland!

The profit of "Shaolin Temple" is the sum of the profits of all the previous films of Zhongyuan Film Company!

How can they be upset, you say?

Although the predecessors of the Central Plains Film Company were mainly engaged in making art films, this did not prevent them from being interested in making money.

Especially in a place like Xiangjiang, you really know what is called "money is heroic courage".

Not to mention anything else, with money, they can make their own movies, and they can be much more confident.

But you have another word.

No one is too much money.

The mainland's "Shaolin Temple" is so popular, saying that 100 million is less!

According to everyone's estimates, even if you don't count the countryside, if you just count the movie theaters in the town and county, this box office figure should be doubled!

A box office of 200 million!

Even if it's not 200 million, according to the official box office of 100 million, as a producer, you have to get 30%, right?

So much can't you?

Good.

If I support the development of the mainland, I will take 15%, this figure is absolutely interesting, right?

But still no!

It's just a box office share of 7%, which really makes anyone who makes movies a little chilling.

Therefore, Yin Jun understands that this group of people approve of "The Lion King" as a box office share, which is to push themselves out, let themselves help them charge into battle, and set up the rules!

But how easy is it to set such rules?

In Yin Jun's impression, I am afraid that it will not be until more than ten years later, when the unit theaters in those places are officially stripped of their operations, that the concept of box office sharing will appear.

It is really formal, but it will have to wait for more than ten years, after 2008.

However, this is not absolute, even in 2020, there will be box office stealing, and there are more bad things about movie screenings!

Purely for now, this is not to say that you are stealing the box office, it is purely justifiably grabbing the box office, and after stealing the box office, you will not be able to fall well.

People will say, "What's wrong with letting the poor people watch movies?

This will leave a lot of people speechless.

But this is definitely a very ridiculous fallacy.

It's the same as blaming "why you didn't sell anything and couldn't give it to the poor."

You must know that a commercial society is a commercial society, and business is just a business, which needs to generate costs, transactions, and profits before it can be sustained.

Business and philanthropy have nothing to do with each other.

I'm going to make money, it doesn't matter how I do charity.

However, if you are doing charity and you have ruined your career, for example, if you can't sell all the things today, you will donate all the things, and if you can't sell them tomorrow, you will continue to donate...... Aren't you pushing yourself to a dead end?

Is it fair just for the poor for free, so for those who spend the money?

Could it be that other people's money is blown by the wind?

Didn't you earn it by hard work?!

Therefore, Yin Jun definitely disagrees with such thoughts and words.

But the boy is also very smart, he won't say these questions to his face at all, even if he is the same as the people in the Central Plains Film Company, he doesn't think so.

In the face of Zhang Hongbing's question, he replied like this: "Some domestic systems, especially those related to business behavior, are not so perfect at present, we can wait a few more years, and wait until everyone is used to business operations, then everything will be logical." At that time, it should be a good choice to implement box office sharing. ”

Yin Jun obviously answered the wrong question, but Zhang Hongbing was also smart, and he saw that Yin Jun avoided the important and light.

Since Yin Jun is reluctant to mention it, there must be a reason.

When it comes to making movies, not to mention the entire Xiangjiang, even the whole Asia, and even the world, there are few who can be more proficient than Yin Jun.

After a deep sigh, Zhang Hongbing asked, "Then what do you want to do? You also know that the above is about the heart, and this is also a good opportunity for your film to enter the mainland market!"

Golden opportunity?

Yin Jun smiled in his heart.

Now is not a good opportunity.

You just have to look at what movie they choose to know the good or bad of the chance.

The Lion King is a cartoon!

It's not a traditional movie in Xiangjiang at all!!

So this time it's just a special care, and if you really want to make a breakthrough in Xiangjiang Films, it will have to be when the situation is at its most stalemate next year.

"I think it's better to follow the old rules of the mainland. Yin Jun said slowly, "I'll sell copies and collect money with copies." ”

Zhang Hongbing knew about the copy, and frowned when he heard this, "That's ...... Jun Shao, you may be a little bit of a loss, right? In the mainland, it's not so standardized......"

He was embarrassed to say that those people took the copies and did it themselves, and they didn't care about the impact at all.

However, this is a family ugly, so it can only be a hint to remind Yin Jun.

"I know. Yin Jun nodded, "So I'm going to sell 2,000 copies." ”

"2,000 copies?"

Zhang Hongbing understood what Yin Jun meant, this is to make enough money, and he is too lazy to share it with the box office in the mainland.

For Yin Jun, this is definitely the most cost-effective way.

There are more than 2,000 cinemas in the mainland!

Including counties and townships, at least there are more than 10,000.

Of course, the scale of many counties and towns cannot be compared with big cities, and the equipment is also very simple, but their flow of people, that is, the number of moviegoers, is definitely quite a lot.

Most of the movie tickets for two or five cents are sold here.

Yin Jun only sells 2,000 copies, and he should only count the first, second and third-tier cities, so he should not be greedy.

After all, movie theaters in counties and townships also need to be copied before they can show movies.

If those big movie studios bought copies of Yin Jun and supplied them to their own cities, then the remaining share of the counties and towns would be eaten by themselves.

On the one hand, you can make money in the city, and on the other hand, you can make money in the county and township, which is very good.

What we have to see now is how Yin Jun calculates the cost and profit, and how much does a copy sell!
