Chapter 627: The Grandmaster's Biggest Shortcoming
Early the next morning, Fang Zhengying came to the grandmaster's house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Husband, are you really planning to make a movie?"
The grandmaster nodded and said, "Anyway, there hasn't been anything going on lately, and making movies is also a good investment project, if the movies can be liked by the audience, then this is a very profitable business." ”
What the Grandmaster said was not unfounded.
In this world, film has become a fairly mature investment business, and the global film market is basically unified.
In the previous life, because the Chinese film market was not mature enough, although the box office of Chinese films grew rapidly, even exceeding the North American box office, the Chinese film market was actually out of touch with the world's mainstream film market.
Among them, the most obvious is the box office sharing and the imperfection of the film rating system.
In a mature film market, the box office of the film should be divided in a reasonable way, that is, the sharing ratio between the producer, the distributor and the cinema chain and the theater is divided in different proportions according to the length of the film's broadcast date and the size of the box office decline.
For example, for a very promising movie, in the first week, the ratio between the producer and distributor and the theater and theater chain is usually 70:30, that is, in the first week of the film's release, 70% of the box office revenue is owned by the filmmaker, and the remaining 30% is owned by the theater and theater chain.
In the second week of release, if the box office does not plummet and is within a reasonable decline range, then in the second week, the sharing ratio will drop to 60:40, and the box office in the second week will get 60% and the theater will get 40%.
Then the next week it will become 50:50, and the next week it will continue to fall.
The specific division should be adjusted according to the actual situation. Anyway, it's not a fixed ratio, and in the end, the box office share ratio of a film is about five or five points.
This is a very mature box office distribution principle, which can basically ensure the respective interests of the film and the theater.
In the previous life, the Huaxia film market was not like this, and the box office sharing of Huaxia in the previous life was really unreasonable. It is a fixed distribution ratio, no matter how well your box office performs, as long as your film is released, then whether it is the film or the theater, the box office share will be fixed......
Therefore, in the previous life, the global film market was not unified, because the sharing ratio of various countries was different, and some countries even made various restrictions on imported films, so it was a very dangerous thing to invest in films.
Because if you want to invest in a movie, you must not only consider the quality of the movie, but also devote a huge amount of energy to consider the film market policy of a certain country.
But in this life, because the global film market is basically unified, investors of a film only need to consider whether the film can be made well and whether it can be accepted by the audience.
Movies in this life have become a commodity that is common all over the world, so as long as investors are sure to make good movies, then they can basically get great returns.
Of course, no investor can guarantee 100% successful investment, after all, whether a film can really be accepted by the market will not be concluded until the film is produced and released.
But once a movie can really become the darling of the market, then investors are waiting for huge returns.
The film market in this life is not comparable to the film market in the previous life.
The film market in this life is basically about twice as much as in the previous life, because of the huge box office of Dahua, the film market in this life is much stronger than in the previous life.
In other words, in a previous life, if a movie could reach a billion dollars at the global box office, then in this life, that number would basically become two billion dollars......
The extra billion dollars are all the interests of Hongguoguo!
For these basic things, when the Grandmaster decided to make a movie, he did research on the free time of the past few weeks, and when he found out that the film market in this world is really much stronger and more reasonable than in his previous life, he has already decided to prepare to make a movie.
The reason for this decision is that one is that he has taken a fancy to the huge film market in this life, and the other reason is that the grandmaster's mind has a huge number of classic movies that have been tested by the market in his previous life.
Of course, one of the most critical factors is that in the pocket system and prop system, there is also a "Cinematic Skills" skill tree and a golden prop "Golden Camera" worth 1 million negative reputation points are still idle and useless......
The "Film and Television Skills" skill tree contains all skills related to film and television, such as directing, screenwriting, creativity, advertising, and variety shows.
Two years ago, when the Grandmaster filmed those two commercials, because the system had not yet been turned on, he did not use the skill tree and golden props, but relied on some shooting skills learned from doing tasks in the infinite world to shoot those two commercials that caused a sensational discussion.
Now the grandmaster has a lot of positive and negative reputation points, and it is useless to be idle, so it is completely possible to light up the skill tree of "film and television skills", and then use the "golden camera" to upgrade one of his skills to the grandmaster level, and the remaining skills in the skill tree can be fully upgraded with the countless positive reputation points that are now numerous.
These positive prestige values are also idle, and they are just right to use. Even if all the skills in the skill tree are upgraded to the Grandmaster level, these massive positive reputation points will not be exhausted.
Therefore, in terms of the preparation, shooting and post-production of the film, the grandmaster will never worry.
If there is any huge shortcoming in the Grandmaster's investment in films, it is distribution.
Film is a very large industry, from the beginning of production, to publicity, to release, to the development of the periphery and the follow-up of online video on demand, TV station playback, DVD sales and a series of operations, it is a very systematic work, now the grandmaster is not worried in other aspects, the only thing to worry about is the very important publicity, that is, the channel.
At this point, the grandmaster is really helpless. At present, the world's largest distribution companies are all clustered in Hollywood, and if a film wants to get the best box office in the world, it must be distributed through these six largest distribution companies.
However, some time ago on the plane from Los Angeles to Sydney, Doug . Johnson agreed to help introduce the six major distribution companies, and said with certainty that as long as the Grandmaster's movies are good enough, then Doug . Johnson was able to convince any of the six companies to do the global distribution of the Grandmaster's films.
Of course, this premise is that the movie made by the grandmaster must be good enough.
Maybe others can't guarantee this, but this is really nothing for the grandmaster......
