"Greek Wedding" became the only winner of the post-2002 summer season without any suspense.

52 million on the first day, with a total box office of more than 110 million!

44 million on Sunday, with a total box office of 150 million.

After the end of the second week, the box office for the whole week was 78 million - the brewing movie-watching madness was greatly reduced under the expression of the first two days of the week, but the next week, even if it had said goodbye to the madness, it still brought the total North American box office to 230 million, officially surpassing "Spy" and becoming the third of the year, second only to "Spider-Man" and "The Clone Crisis".

The total investment in production, distribution, and publicity, in addition to the 15 million yuan for the early production and publicity, and the distribution cost invested in the later stage of using the profit of the screening is less than 5 million, that is, less than 20 million in total.

Even at the current box office, according to the agreement between the theater chain and the producer - the previous month was 8:2 split, which means that the box office after the official release of more than 150 million yuan, DD and IFC share 80% of it, although according to distribution conventions, films with too abnormal box office curves usually compensate the loser to some extent. But the North American box office net revenue of the two independent studios is destined to exceed 100 million!

This makes all the companies and people who work drool.

And among the 100 million, IFC is only about one-third, that is, more than 30 million, and the remaining 60 or 70 million are all DD Pictures, DD's share composition, the outside world does not know, but according to the news, the main shareholders are only Daniel and his lucky friend, the shares have been adjusted many times, at the beginning of David with capital shares, open the project, this is very important, if there is no money, this project may fly away from Daniel's hands, and Google, if Daniel did not miss Google, Now it's time to start reaping the rewards. Later, as Daniel began to inject capital into it with salary and capital. This shareholding ratio is believed to have changed significantly.

Earlier this year, the news of DD Pictures' establishment of Daniel's Film Investment Division was not rigorous, and the division of labor within DD Pictures was also very clear, with Daniel clearly in charge. David is the operator, and DD Pictures will focus on producing and distributing independent films. Daniel's investment division is responsible for investing in projects that Daniel has participated in or is personally optimistic about - which can be very large.

Therefore, based on the assessment, the media speculated that Daniel's investment division should all belong to Daniel himself, and the project needs to pay a part of the service fee to the DD headquarters. The ratio of shares between the two sides of the DD headquarters is likely to be around 4:6. That is, Daniel accounts for 6 percent, and David gets 4 percent, according to this ratio, so far, David has made more than 25 million in this project - almost equal to his share of the award, and he now has a promising DD headquarters, and "Greek Wedding", which does not know where the box office will go.

This should be a very brilliant investment in Hollywood since the beginning of the new century.

But what they don't know is that Daniel bought his investment in Blogger from David. It was exchanged for cash and shares of DD headquarters. At present, the shareholding composition of the DD headquarters is a very standard 5:5, with Daniel half having the right to decide important matters, and David having the remaining half, responsible for day-to-day operations and decisions.

However, the profits from the "Greek Wedding" project will not be divided 5:5, but will be placed into the "Greek Wedding" publishing team - DD, Daniel Investments, MB, and Mountain Eagle. Including these four together. Because Daniel knows that even according to the previous life, "Greek Wedding" has a North American box office of more than 200 million, such a large amount of money. If it is just DD swallowed, it will cause unnecessary irritation to other partner companies. Although the decision of these companies is in his hands, a father or mother still needs to treat several children equally. It is also impossible for Daniel to really give the proceeds of the project to DD according to the original vesting.

The interest group he created will need to work more closely together to achieve more goals in the future.

The current two hundred million is not so important.

The team is divided into Daniel Investment Department, which is the chief planner and total issuance, accounting for 4 percent; DD is a film producer. Accounting for 3.5 percent, Shanying Company and MB each get 1 percent, and the remaining 5% is used for the team's personal bonuses, employee salaries, daily expenses, etc. - the last item is very large, according to the volume, it is tens of millions, that is, these bigwigs here will have millions of income.

It cannot be said that Daniel's handwriting is luxurious.

However, these people are his team, enough encouragement, with the pursuit of common cause, will play an indelible role in the long-term and effective operation of a team.

Moreover, according to this share, Daniel's investment department gets 4 percent, and half of the 3.5 percent of DD headquarters is also his. As for the Mountain Eagle Company, Daniel borrowed Mountain Eagle to invest in Blogger, and later established an investment company, and hired Raymond, this part of the assets was transferred from Mountain Eagle, and in the process, the shares of Mountain Eagle were also adjusted, under the premise of continuing to inject capital, Daniel took a step back, Fred took 15 points, and the rest of the management team shared 5 points, these 20 points must be bound to Mountain Eagle, if they leave Mountain Eagle, and they can't get Daniel's approval, These shares will no longer be held by them, and even if they are allowed to dispose of them, Daniel will have priority! The remaining 80% is held by Daniel's investment firm.

As for MB, Daniel owns 7 percent.

Therefore, in total, Daniel can personally share 72.5% of the income from "Greek Wedding", of course, except for 4% of the investment department, the rest are scattered in various companies and run by the CEO.

Overall, it was a bit unfair for David to come up with this plan, which was certainly in Daniel's heart.

Because he knows that even without this wave of operations, "Greek Wedding" can have a potential of more than 200 million.

But in the eyes of everyone, including David, they thought that this achievement was entirely due to Daniel's genius. This is especially true of IFC, which thinks that it has won a big bargain for nothing.

But obviously, the worst thing to be cheated is IFC, originally they will get more than 200 million box office investment income, now they can only share three-three, unless the North American box office rises to more than 600 million or even 700 million, IFC can be the same as the original - even Daniel dare not think about it.

……

The internal accounting has not yet begun, and the theater account sharing of the screening has been turning back one after another, and the account sharing of the official release is much slower - this also involves subsidies for the theater chain, because it is clear that the third week will fall to about 60 million, and then grind for two weeks around 40 million, these parts are all divided into 8:2, and the next box office margin is not so big, and the next month is also divided according to 7.2:2.8, and the situation of the theater chain is not much better.

Of course, this trajectory must continue to be discussed with the theater chain, but it is impossible to sell much benefit.

Theaters can only pay for their own predictions.

Generally, if the distributor is stronger, it will be divided by 9:1 in the first week, and it will drop by 10% in the first two weeks of the next week, so that in the total box office, after deducting 10% of the fixed expenses, the theater chain can get about 35% from the remaining 90%. The issuer gets 55%, which is relatively normal.

But according to the trajectory of "Greek Wedding", the publisher will get at least 70% more.

In any case, this time DD Pictures vs. IFC, against theaters, and against other movies in the same schedule, the situation of winning all of them is irreversible.

……

With the rising box office figures of "Greek Wedding", it has exceeded 100 million, exceeded 200 million, surpassed "Spy", broke 300 million, surpassed "Star Wars Prequel: The Clone Crisis", and broke 400 million...... Finally stopped at the ear of "Spider-Man".

Daniel's treatment on the crew of "The Impostor" has also clearly become very different.

From big-name starring, to part-time investor who made a lot of money, then to a speculative billionaire, and finally to the unquestionable Hollywood power!

Because the top of Universal Pictures has never visited the studios of its films so frequently, their attitude is in everyone's eyes. The producer's attitude towards the big stars may be very gentle, and even a little flattering because of the struggle - but the basis of a qiē attitude is visibly condescending. Now, however, whether it's Donna, Meyer, or Schneider, there's something unusual about the attitude of each of them.

This is power!

The composition of this power is very complex, including Daniel's popularity, box office appeal, and undefeated inertia - this is the power that belongs to the category of a superstar. It also includes DD Pictures, an independent studio that has just produced a North American 400 million blockbuster and made more than 100 million dollars in profits, which is a power that belongs to the studio field. No one is fooled by the close cooperation with Shanying's company and MB, the new social network kingdom, and after this wave, Daniel's controlling stake in Shanying and MB will not be revealed, but it is very clear that the three companies have an alliance of interests - this is the power brought by wealth and influence across industries.

This qiē constitutes Universal Pictures' egalitarian attitude towards Daniel.

In the studio field, in Hollywood, and now DD Pictures, ten bases are not as good as Universal, but all the tangible and intangible wealth and power around Daniel are already a fight with Universal. It's a formed interest group -- a vibrant, sharp group.

A box office miracle of "Greek Wedding", although Daniel quietly watched this change manipulated by him in the crew of "The Impostor", it really became a milestone in the transformation of his status in Hollywood.

It took three years to finally cast this qiē, a corner of the country, and the trump card appeared, which is also a new beginning. (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm dead, I'm especially worried that everyone thinks that all the money should be the protagonist, so I write very worriedly, but really, things can't be done by one person, and the benefits are not exclusive to one person.
