Back at home, Li Qing began to code words and continued to write novels.

Writing novels has become a habit, writing every day, and there is no period of vacation.

In other words, as a writer, every day is a vacation period, so there is no such thing as a vacation.

After writing 3,000 words, Li Qing went to bed.

The next day, around ten o'clock, the telephone rang.

"Hello, I'm Li Qing!" Li Qing said.

"I'm Zhang Xinyu, guess what, yesterday's first-day box office data?" Zhang Xinyu said.

"Beauty, let's just say it. My brain is simple, some complex questions, I can't guess! Li Qing said.

"It's so boring!" Zhang Xinyu also lost the taste of humor, and said directly: "A total of 153 theaters were released yesterday!" ”

"Qinglong Film Company, if there are not 300 movie theaters, how can there be 150 theaters?" Li Qing asked puzzled.

"Quite simply, making a movie is actually the equivalent of a marching battle. A good movie is equivalent to a strong army; And the previous trailer, a lot of publicity, is equivalent to a demonstration, opening up channels; And on the premiere day, it is equivalent to a confrontation between the two armies. And the first collision between the two armies, do you say that you will make a desperate bet and put all the hole cards in your hand and all the capital into it? ”

Zhang Xinyu asked.

"No!" Li Qing said.

When the two armies clashed, they often camped with each other, confronted each other for a long time, constantly tested each other, and constantly looked for flaws, and then fought a decisive battle and fought together.

That kind of first encounter, where all the hole cards are used, and the Armageddon is almost non-existent.

"That's not it." Zhang Xinyu said: "On the premiere day, don't take it too seriously, maybe the box office data is not too high; On the premiere day, to put it bluntly, it is to test the market and test the audience's reaction, and if the audience is satisfied, it will be released in other theaters one after another; If the audience is not satisfied, or the business feels that the development potential is not large, it may reduce some of the ...... Not every movie makes money! ”

Li Qing nodded and said, "Then let's talk about the box office data, right?" ”

"The attendance rate is above 60%, and most of the movie tickets are sold, which is a high figure! Among them, thank you for your reputation, the reputation of the fish god, but it has attracted a lot of customers! Zhang Xinyu said.

"No, it's only 60 percent, I thought it wasn't 100 percent, at least 80 percent, 90 percent!"

Li Qing said dissatisfied.

"My little ancestor, you really don't understand this business. In Donghua, the average attendance rate is about 30 percent, and most of those below 20 percent are in a state of loss. Of course, some cinemas far away from the business district, some remote areas, even if the attendance rate is low, it doesn't matter! ”

Zhang Xinyu had to tell some common sense, "I originally estimated that the attendance rate was about 50 percent, but with the addition of your factor, the attendance rate changed to 165 percent!" ”

As a businessman, you have to learn to take advantage of the vastness, and Li Qing is a living advertisement.

In the name of the fish god, he has accumulated a large number of book friends; And now it is perfect to convert these book friends into consumers of the film.

"Of these, 36 are 3D cinemas, and more than 100 of them are 2D cinemas. The price of a 3D movie is between 40 and 80 yuan; And the price of 2D movies is between 20 and 50 yuan! Zhang Xinyu said, "The final box office revenue, the premiere box office is between 10 million!" ”

"It's not going to be that much!"

Li Qing immediately felt a toothache.

He worked hard to write a book for a year, and after deducting royalties, his income was only seven million yuan; But a movie, a day is 10 million, does this still make people live?

Sure enough, those who write novels are not as good as those who make movies.

Writing a book, you can earn a few bucks by relying on manuscript fees; You can shoot a movie, easily, it's 10 million.

"Ten million, is it more?" Zhang Xinyu was dissatisfied: "Ten million, not much at all, it can only be said to be very conservative." I was a little conservative in my previous estimates, Qinglong Film Company, some of the theaters below, failed to be released; There are also some theaters in allies that have not been released in time, which has led to a somewhat small data. If I'm bold, the data is definitely more than that, double, quadruple, in normal! ”

"What's the approximate box office revenue?"

Li Qing suddenly asked, a lot of data, told him, he didn't understand, what he said was in vain, say something clearer, such as Huaxia coins.

"It's hard to estimate, most movies are released for fifteen days, and by one month, the box office data is about two or three hundred million!" Zhang Xinyu said.

"The cost of filming the movie is only 2 million, but the box office is 200 million, which is a hundred profits!"

Li Qing looked at the data and said in surprise again.

"I can't say that, the cost of film shooting is only two million, and the low cost is realized, mainly because our Qinglong Film Company provides supporting services, to put it bluntly, many of the actors' props are one-stop services, and it doesn't cost much!" Zhang Xinyu said: "Many actors, directors and other expenses are used to share and settle, which also saves costs. As for the special effects of the movie, it costs a lot of money, but in the Snow Mountain Flying Fox, it is mainly realistic, and there are not many scenes of special effects, and it costs less! In fact, this is the benefit of monopoly, the benefit of one-stop, and the maximum cost savings! ”

This is the benefit of a monopoly and the difference between a low-budget film and a low-budget film.

Small-budget movies are often made by some private individuals, with little investment, and they can't afford to hire big stars, resulting in many movies of average quality, and there is no possibility of even being released.

However, low-cost movies are due to the huge scale of the film company, which has formed a monopoly advantage and formed a one-stop service, which has led to a very low cost.

For example, if the movie "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" is an ordinary small company, or a private shooting, inviting some famous actors and directors, it may cost more than 10 million; In renting some venues, renting some costumes, props, etc., it may cost two or three million; It may cost another two or three million to make some special effects; In the purchase of some copyrights to novels, there may be another three or four million gone;

In addition, the lack of run-in between actors, or lack of acting skills, etc., may prolong the filming time, which also leads to an increase in filming costs.

Probably at least, the cost of filming is around 30 million.

However, Qinglong Film Company, filming "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", invited some well-known actors and directors, only need to pay a small amount, or even no fees, and directly use them as remuneration, saving a lot of costs. And these well-known directors and well-known actors also like this sharing model, this sharing model, the amount of money made, is far more than simply extracting dead wages and making more money.

And special effects, with a dedicated team, are also money-saving; As for the costumes, venues, props, etc., there is also a company, so there is no need to rent it, and it is also to save money.

As a result, the cost of filming was only two million.

This is the scale of business, the cost advantage formed; Low cost and high return brought by monopoly.

"So in the end, how much money can I make?" Li Qing asked. ???

"After the box office comes out, first of all, the National Film Development Special Fund will take 5%, and the film business tax will take 3.3%, and the rest will be our share with the distributor, theater chain, and theaters. Cinemas can earn 5%-10%; while cinemas earn 50%; The rest of the producers can take 35%, of which 15%-20% goes to the actors and directors; The rest is the producer's net income. And your 3% is also deducted from the producer! You can make about 9 million, and if you add the copyright income from the previous purchase, it will be about 10 million! ”

Zhang Xinyu counted the accounts.

More than 10 million, film income, writing income before the explosion.

But Li Qing was even more amazed by the speed at which Qinglong Film Company made money.

"The theater is yours, the theater chain is also yours, and the producer is also yours, and the three major profits are all affiliated to Qinglong Company. About 70% of the proceeds are yours! Li Qing said, "I finally understand, what is a movie tycoon!" ”

PS: There is a lot of data queried, and it is a little slow!
