Chapter 985 - Grow big with a small one

It only took more than two hours to subscribe from 1,000 to 5,000, and when Zhang Chu got up the next morning, the subscriptions for these chapters were already moving in the direction of 30,000, and this speed did not slow down at all!

Once refreshed, it can rise a lot, and it keeps growing!

It seems that everyone is very interested in the content of the Worm Valley in southern Yunnan, there are almost no bad reviews, and a few of them have been drowned in the book reviews, and there is almost no splash.

When he woke up, it seemed that the word ghost blowing the lamp had once again occupied the Internet, and his mobile phone was full of reminders.

There are from his father Zhang Bowen, Gu Xinxue, the editor of Nanhai Publishing Company, Wei Wenlin, a high school friend, and a few friends who have not been in contact with each other who have participated in the event before, and more are some classmates.

"Stinky boy, have you finished blowing the lamp and writing? Show me, I'm not even in the mood to go to the bookstore to open today!"

"This volume is very well written, the characters have improved compared with the first part, and their purposes have become much clearer, but their respective personalities have not changed, and the iron triangle combination of Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang is becoming more and more harmonious. When are you going to get it published?"

"In society, I Brother Chu, people don't talk much. Among your many books, my favorite is the ghost blowing the lamp! Please update it quickly, I'm urging you to update it for the first time. Five chapters is really not much, look at my sincere eyes, ten is better every day. ”

"I woke up this morning and saw the ghost blowing the lamp update, and I feel like I've finished reading it in a few minutes, it's not cool!"

"Looks good, really good!"

"Ask for updates, ask for manuscripts!"

Zhang Chu replied to these people in an orderly manner, I really want to be beautiful if I want ten more a day, today's five watches are just because of the beginning, and then I will start updating normally, and it is estimated that there will be more people urging the update.

Thinking of this, he was quite happy.

Everyone likes this work to urge the update.,I've never seen anyone urge a book I don't like.,I wish the book would disappear as soon as possible!

It was a wonderful feeling, and at the same time it made him feel a little guilty, and the readers were so anxious that they must not be let down now.

Now Zhang Chu doesn't have much manuscript in his hand, he has to go to the school after breakfast now, and the final exam will start next week, but now there is no teacher of any subject who is marking the key points or revealing the content of the exam, everything depends on the students' consciousness.

He put his backpack in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt and sped towards the campus of Yan University, similar to a teacher who lives outside the school, and has to rush to school by himself every day.

While waiting for the traffic light, Zhang Chu casually turned on the radio in the car, he just didn't want to be quiet.

"Hello everyone, this is FM93.2, Yanjing is sunny today, the highest temperature is 35 °C, the lowest temperature is 22 °C, let's briefly review the news events that happened in the last 24 hours......

The two anchors, male and female, alternately broadcast international and domestic news, in addition to those big events, there are also entertainment news.

"Farewell My Concubine" lasted 17 days, and the box office exceeded 800 million yuan, surpassing "Megatron" to become the highest-grossing movie in the summer so far. ”

The movie "Gone with the Wind" was launched, and Sun Jieqiong played the role of the lady of the Republic of China. ”

The variety show "The Amazing Race" announced a new lineup, and the global race sparked heated discussions among netizens. ”

"Yida Pictures announced that "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" will be screened in advance tomorrow afternoon, and most of the screenings have been sold out, and the box office is expected to exceed 50 million!"

It turns out that the box office of "Farewell My Concubine" has reached 800 million yuan, which is a very good result among this year's domestic films, even if it is not as popular as the very suspects, but it definitely makes the producer, the distributor and the theater chain make a lot of money!

The cost of the film has been recovered before the release, and all the box office is equivalent to a profit, according to the current general rules for the box office sharing of domestic films, Zhang Chu may break 100 million before tax just by virtue of this "Farewell My Concubine".

Of course, the box office of 800 million yuan cannot be directly taken out for distribution, this figure must be consistent with the data released by the Office of the National Film Industry Development Special Fund Management Committee (commonly known as the Special Fund Office), and only this number is the basis for the producer, distributor, theater chain, and theater parties to divide the account.

What cat's eye movie, what time.com's real-time box office data, these are not authoritative, you must look for the special funding!

Each film must pay 5% of the special fund for the film industry to the special funding office, and 3.3% of the business tax must be paid like the national tax and local tax, and this 8.3% belongs to the indivisible box office.

According to the current 800 million yuan of "Farewell My Concubine", the box office of 66.4 million yuan is not counted, and the divisible box office is 733.6 million yuan.

Because the box office exceeds 600 million, China Film Digital will charge a distribution agency fee, that is, a 3% agency fee, which will deduct another 22 million.

In the end, the 711.6 million yuan was shared by the producer, the theater chain, and the cinema, of which the cinema exclusively enjoyed 50%, the cinema chain 7%, and the producer and distributor together accounted for 43%!

If the cinema and the cinema are the same company, for example, Yida has both a cinema and a cinema chain, so you can get 57%.

Of course, if the producer and the publisher are the same company, then it gets 43% of the total.

The most terrifying thing is Yida Pictures, which has almost all of its production, distribution, cinemas, and cinemas, and its own company is responsible for each field, so its share ratio is the highest, reaching the point of shock!

"Farewell My Concubine" is jointly produced by Hanlin Culture Media Co., Ltd. and Director Xu Ji's studio and two other entertainment companies, the four of which together form the producer, and the distributor is Guangguang Media.

This time, the contract obtained by Guangguang Media is 15 percentage points, and these 15 percentage points refer to 15% of 711.6 million, and the agency fee for the distribution of this literary film is 107 million yuan.

The producer got 7.116X (43%-15%) = 199 million, almost 200 million yuan.

The 200 million yuan will be distributed by the four companies according to the proportion of capital contribution, Zhang Chu's Hanlin Culture Media not only invested 15 million yuan into it, but his adaptation rights are also counted, so it is more than the other three, and he can get almost half!

How many books do you have to sell to make 100 million?

However, the operation of capital such as making movies made 15 million yuan quickly earn 100 million, although it still has to pay taxes, it is definitely about as fast as grabbing money.

The film market is unpredictable, many rich people and companies have invested in it, and there may be very little money or even capital protection, let alone making a lot of money like Hanlin Culture, which is almost impossible.

If it weren't for investing so much, Zhang Chu would not have been able to help promote it for so long, and he went to Cannes to build momentum for it, and now it seems that everything is worth it, and the return on investment is almost the highest in the year!

The most terrifying thing is that now "Farewell My Concubine" has only been released for less than 20 days, and Guangguang Media has been operating to postpone its release for a month, and its good reputation makes it have no suspense that its total box office will exceed 1 billion.

In addition to the box office, there are other ways for producers such as Hallym Culture Media to recover funds.

According to the theme of the film, audience expectations, cast, and final box office, TV copyrights and Internet copyrights can range from millions or even tens of millions.

The TV projection right mainly depends on CCTV six sets, its price is not high, it is generally good to have 3 million or 5 million, and now "Farewell My Concubine" is the first domestic film with the Palme d'Or, plus the box office is also very high, and it may eventually talk about 8 million.

In terms of network copyright, iQiyi, Tencent Video, and Youku Tudou are the main buyers, which can be divided into exclusive copyright or non-exclusive copyright.

This is actually very easy to understand, if it is exclusive, the whole network can be seen on this one website, and non-exclusive is that several websites can be seen, and the price of non-exclusive is usually about 15% of the exclusive copyright.

In the past two years, the online exclusive broadcast price of the popular film "One Step Away" was as high as 30 million yuan, and now this one cannot be bought at all.

There is a simple standard for the price of video websites, if the box office exceeds 100 million and there are big names involved, the exclusive cost is generally more than 10 million.

The purchase amount of film copyright with a box office of more than 1 billion will be as high as 50 million, or even 80 million, and it is not uncommon for that kind of phenomenal blockbuster to break 100 million!

The copyright budget of each video website is tens of billions, and winning the exclusive broadcast rights of popular films has a driving effect on their new member registration, "Farewell My Concubine", a movie that is destined to leave a name in film history, is definitely not a small number of views, so the competition will definitely be very fierce.

In addition to these revenues, movies can also be screened in various chains of on-demand theaters, private theaters, hotels, bath city foot spa shops and other places, all of which require genuine authorization, and the odds and pieces can add up to fifty or sixty million.

"Farewell My Concubine" does not have any advertising placement, this part is weaker than modern movies, but it finally got a government subsidy, although it is only 10 million, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.

Overseas income is the strength of "Farewell My Concubine", it depends on whether foreign audiences like it, maybe they can earn foreign exchange when the time comes!

At least they not only sold the rights to screen the film in North America, but even sold the network broadcast rights in North America to Netflix, and sold the exclusive broadcast rights of North American movies to CBS.

This money does not need to be shared with the distributor or the cinema, but only the part of the producer, so it is also a huge amount of money!

Maybe Zhang Chu's after-tax income will exceed 100 million by then, this kind of movie with a double harvest at the box office and word-of-mouth is really rare, and it is impossible to find it!
