It's been a week since I returned to Yanjing, and Li Zhe is also busy at this time, because the screening of "Nightclub" has basically ended, and it's time to share the box office.

Speaking of "Nightclub", it surprised countless insiders. Originally, they thought that such a small-budget comedy would hit the masterpiece "The Matrix 2" of the American imperialists, and it must not be able to make a splash.

But the fact is that "Nightclub" is not just a splash, it can be regarded as a small wave. "The Matrix 2" swept the domestic box office of more than 4,500 yuan in a month, and "Nightclub" was not far behind, under the strategy of word-of-mouth marketing, it not only won an average of 30% of the film schedule in the summer file, but also got a box office of more than 2,800 yuan.

This is a piece of flesh from the body of "The Matrix 2", but while shocking the industry, it also injected a shot of strength into the Chinese film industry.

It turns out that Hollywood blockbusters are not so invincible, and they are not only able to compete with movies with large investments like "Heroes", which undoubtedly makes people in the industry rub shoulders and prepare to do a big job.

……

"Mr. Li, the box office of the first phase of our "Nightclub" is a total of 28.36 million yuan, deducting the special fund for the development of the film industry, as well as 3.3% of taxes and fees, and excluding the share of theaters and theaters, our company and Huaying Group have a total profit of 11.18 million yuan."

Li Zhe listened to the accounting report, a little speechless, and asked: "Isn't this a matter of deducting costs and saying that our company can only make a profit of about 6 million yuan in the end?" You must know that this is a box office of 28 million! ”

The accountant reminded with some embarrassment: "Mr. Li, in fact, our profit is not 6 million yuan. ”

"What?" Li Zhe was a little speechless, at a cost of 2 million yuan, with a box office of 28 million yuan, the profit was not even 6 million, are you kidding me?

The accountant hurriedly explained to him: "That's the case, Mr. Li, the 11.18 million yuan is the joint profit of the investor and the distributor, of which the distributor, that is, Huaying Group, has to take the agency fee, which is generally about 10% of the net box office in the industry."

That is, only 8.5 million yuan was really taken out to divide the account. According to the proportion of our company's investment with Huaying Group, Huaying Group will receive 1.7 million yuan, and our company also needs to subtract the box office share of director Lin Weiqiang, and the final profit amount is 6.5 million yuan.

Finally, after deducting the cost of our company's investment of 2 million yuan, the gross profit of the film company this time is about 4.5 million yuan. ”

After listening to the accountant's calculations, Li Zhe was already dumbfounded. He couldn't have imagined that Mengxiang Film and Television, which was the main investor, could only make a profit of 4.5 million yuan in the big victory of "Nightclub".

"Lao Xu, tell me, how is this box office divided? How much is it? How did it end up in my hands like this? ”

Accountant Xu patiently popularized science for Li Zhe.

"There is a fixed process for our Huaguo's film box office accounting, first of all, when the box office comes out, you need to pay 5% of the total box office in advance of the special fund for the development of the film industry, as well as 3.3% of the relevant taxes and fees. As a result, the divisible box office for investors, distributors, theaters and theaters is only 91.7% of the total box office. And this 91.7% is called the net box office. ”

"Then in the net box office, the cinema will take 50%, and the related cinema chain will also take 7%, and the remaining 43% will be reserved for the distributor and the producer. The distributor charges about 10% of the net box office as a distribution agency fee, so the producer can only get 33% of the net box office in the end. And the director's box office share is also taken from this. ”

Accountant Xu looked at Li Zhe's face as he spoke, and saw that Li Zhe's face was getting more and more ugly and smelly.

After half a day, he finally held back a sentence: "Made, I must go to the cinema in the future, it's too profitable." It's like making a movie, only 33% of the hard work is done, and there is a risk of losing money. ”

Accountant Xu didn't take Li Zhe's words to heart, after all, the company only has assets of more than 6 million now, and it can't even build a movie theater.

Li Zhe shook his head and sighed.

"Forget it, don't think about these bad problems, you have to think about the next operation of the company. The next movie and TV series have to be on the agenda quickly. ”

Accountant Xu was moved when he heard this, and asked: "Mr. Li, it seems that the development plan you sent down last time only said that a movie will be made in the second half of the year, right?" It doesn't seem to mention anything about the TV series. ”

"I didn't mention it at the time, but now I add it!"

After coming back, Zhao Yinger was assigned by her to train singing skills with Lu Xiaomeng, but he knew that it was not a long-term solution to go on like this, so he wanted to shoot another TV series by himself and let Zhao Yinger star in it.

"But our company doesn't have much money to use, more than 6 million can only shoot small-budget movies even to shoot movies, where can we make money to make TV series?"

Accountant Xu directly denied Li Zhe's idea, he is a professional accountant, of course, it is impossible to let his boss do such a stupid thing.

"You can rest assured that the investment in TV series will not cost much."

Li Zhe has already chosen the TV series to be filmed, and he already has a draft in mind about how to shoot it.

Accountant Xu wanted to say something, but seeing Li Zhe's confident look, he opened his mouth and finally didn't say anything.

The scripts for the company's next movies and TV series, Li Zhe has long been redeemed from the system. However, it is precisely because of this that the points he has accumulated recently have been consumed again.

But it's clear that the points are well spent.

The screenplay of the movie is the same as "Nightclub", which is also a low-budget comedy, but its rating is much higher than that of "Nightclub", reaching the level of A. This movie is called "People in Embarrassment", but compared with "Nightclub", in addition to the increase in ratings, the cost has also increased a lot, reaching 8 million, which is about to break through the 10 million mark.

The script of another TV series is "Step by Step", which is a time-traveling drama similar to "Looking for Qin". However, unlike "Looking for Qin", this TV series is a harem drama from the perspective of a girl as the protagonist, and the score of the script is B.

For "People in Embarrassment", Li Zhe plans to hand it over to Lin Weiqiang to shoot, and the protagonists are also ready to let Bao Qiang and Xu Zheng take the role. I believe that with the successful experience of last time, they can do well this time.

However, the current problem is the investment in the film, and now their company only has about 6.5 million funds on its books, and it is impossible to invest in filming at all, so he is ready to look for investment like last time. And with the success of "Nightclub" last time, this time the original team set sail again, and it is still very simple to attract investment.

If you think of it, you can do it, and early the next morning, Li Zhe took Lin Weiqiang to Huaying Group to find the third master.
