Chapter 292 Global profits soared by 700 million
A lot of the source code has been finalized.
Especially the world box office, the box office income of 300 million US dollars is almost equivalent to 2 billion US dollars, and it is equivalent to 2 billion yuan.
Deep Space Film and Television is not the same as the box office sharing or film buyout agreement in different places, so so much money, according to different shares, there will also be different amounts of money into Deep Space Film and Television.
In this way, "Source Code" has also received a box office share of 300 million in the world except China, and a box office share of 260 million in China, so that the total score of "Source Code" has reached more than 500 million and close to 600 million, such a good share will greatly alleviate the financial pressure faced by Deep Space Film and Television.
The current financial pressure of deep space film and television is indeed too great, and many stalls are spread out to make people feel very scary, and even now some factories are very likely to be suspended if they cannot be replenished in time, and the consequences will be quite tragic at that time, and it will also make people feel that they can't look at it directly.
In this way, Chen Xi felt that they wanted to get the money, and they almost wanted to go crazy.
It's just too annoying.
Now, after a period of time, Chen Xi's source code has finally been realized.
Such a terrifying income has also become the most profitable Chinese film this year.
It's just that things are not just now, in fact, the overseas copyright of this movie and some domestic copyright sales, are not counted in the box office share, but this money is not a lot, on the contrary, there is still a certain amount, which can also make many other film companies feel envious and don't know what to say.
In the United States, in addition to the box office, "Source Code" has also received a lot of other copyright income, in fact, many movies in the United States are quite amazing in terms of copyright income. Even the box office revenue of a movie only accounts for 30% of the total revenue of the film, under such terrifying figures, it is no wonder that Hollywood blockbusters have swept the whole world, and their film investment costs can be higher and higher.
A lot of times that's how it happens.
The comparison between Chinese films and Hollywood, first of all, people's movies are basically the main box office overseas box office, but Chinese films are basically the global box office in Chinese mainland. Second, Hollywood's box office revenue is only a small part of the total revenue, but China's box office revenue is basically the entire revenue, and this gap is naturally getting wider and wider.
"Source Code" in the United States mainly sold DVD copyrights, as well as comics and TV series adaptation rights...... Comic adaptation rights Chen Xi doesn't feel interesting. This kind of thing doesn't seem to be of much use to create comics either...... Do you want to get a superhero out?
But the right to adapt TV series can be had, and "Source Code" still has a way to adapt it into a TV series, of course, a flashback in one episode will make people feel that there is no way to accept it, but the screenwriters in the United States are very awesome, maybe people can really create a story that is suitable for TV series but is inextricably linked to "Source Code"?
DVD copyright, "Source Code" directly got 15 million US dollars, which is a rather scary number, and even many people will be surprised, because this is more than a "Source Code" box office share in North America.
However, the DVD prospects of "Source Code" are indeed relatively broad. Such a movie can attract the love and attention of many fans, not to mention, the film has quite good reviews on this side of North America, and it has also received quite good reviews in Europe. And the $15 million was also obtained by selling DVD rights in North America, Europe, and Japan......
In North America, Europe, Japan, and other countries and regions, they are the main regions for DVD purchase and rental. Many people in these places are better at watching movies on DVD, and the development of high-definition Blu-ray technology in the past two years is more mature, so they will like and appreciate this movie more.
Furthermore. There are some other copyrights in North America, TV station broadcasts and other copyrights have also been sold out, anyway, Chen Xi doesn't have those channels here, these things can only be said later, these things add up, a total of 17 million US dollars sold in North America of "Source Code", a terrifying figure......
In Europe and other places, after all, most of the DVD copyrights are sold to North America, so other copyrights in these places may be more directly sold to a country or region, so in these places, "Source Code" has been sold for a total of about $3 million in copyright prices.
In China, it is mainly the sale of the TV broadcast rights of movies, and the rights to adapt novels and DVD rights in some places.
DVD copyright is not popular in China for ...... reasons Piracy is so bad that not too many people can buy expensive DVDs to watch after all.
And the video on-demand rights of "Source Code" are naturally exclusively left in Deep Space Film and Television, so far, in addition to other companies participating in the investment and the investment scale is particularly large, and things that are strongly requested, all the film and television works of Deep Space Film and Television basically leave the online on-demand copyright on the Deep Space Video website.
As a result, on the Chinese side, the price of all the rights to the source code is about $1 million if converted into US dollars......
In this way, "Source Code" still got close to 150 million yuan of revenue worldwide, and together with the previous box office share, "Source Code" finally earned 740 million yuan of horror income for Deep Space Film and Television.
A movie, earn 740 million!
When the revenue of "Source Code" was converted, the whole of China was full of people with red eyes, and many people now felt a strong sense of shock, oh my God! One movie makes so much money!
You must know that domestic films, let alone earning 700 million, even if you want to get 700 million at the box office, it is almost an impossible task.
As a result, now a "Source Code" really lets everyone see what a powerful character Chen Xi is.
...... when "Source Code" was in full swing, "Avatar" also began to come to China, and it also got quite a terrible box office in China, and "Avatar" was even as hard to find as a ticket for the Spring Festival!
In this way, "Avatar" won the box office championship without any suspense in Chinese mainland, getting a box office of 1.3 billion yuan.
In this way, domestic films were directly driven down by "Avatar" without sitting on the box office rankings of Chinese mainland films.
But Chen Xi has no complaints about this. I also feel that it should be taken for granted, "Avatar" is a movie against the sky, which has brought a revolutionary change to the film industry, and also let everyone know the development direction of future films, especially the redefinition of 3D films, which will obviously affect the film industry of mankind for decades.
This kind of movie deserves such a high status.
If it is a super bad movie such as "Fast and Furious 7", especially a movie like "Transformers 4" that scolds Chinese noses but still bombards a box office of 2 billion, it is indeed infuriating, of course, this is also the inferiority of Chinese film skills. It can't be helped, but it's infuriating.
But on "Avatar", Chen Xi does not have too much anger, this movie may not be particularly outstanding in terms of literature and art, and the protagonist as a ball rape will make some people feel a little uncomfortable, but the epoch-making things of this movie are enough to kill everything, the only pity is that this movie did not appear five years later, if it is five years later...... In the Chinese market, it is unlikely that it will not kill a $300 million.
…… Of course. "Avatar" also worries Chinese filmmakers, and some people who have strong feelings for domestic films are also worried.
Many people regard Chinese movies as synonymous with garbage, or even as Chinese football. This is obviously very unfair, they think that they can guide the country by watching some good foreign films, and use the movies of their compatriots to show their own compulsion.
Of course, there are more and more people in China who like to make bad movies opportunistically to make money. But after all, there are still some people who want to make movies well, not to mention it every year, but there will be at least one to twenty good films in Chinese-language films. Of course, this is not much, but it is by no means as unbearable as some radical people imagine.
"Avatar" gave many Chinese filmmakers a head start, so that they were surprised that our mainland market has such a high box office possibility, but also saw the wave behind it: even if the Chinese mainland box office market is the first in the world? If the quality and enthusiasm of domestic movies can't be improved, it's just making a wedding dress for others.
As a result, "Avatar" is now bringing a series of polemics in China, many people are fighting in the middle, some enthusiastic people, especially some film school students, may already have a feeling of foreign invasion in the late Ming and Qing dynasties, and they also have a special sense of mission, feeling that they have to shoulder some heavy responsibilities like the young people who wanted to save the country and survive in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China to the Anti-Japanese War (of course, no one gave them this kind of heavy responsibility, they are self-proclaimed).
In such debates, Chen Xi's name is constantly mentioned, and many people use him as an example of attacking opponents during debates, after all, "Source Code" before "Avatar" also let everyone see the strength of Chinese films.
In such a situation, many people have now paid attention to Chen Xi and want to hear his opinion on this matter, and many college students now even want to directly recommend themselves to Chen Xi and chase their ideals with enthusiasm.
In the face of these things, Chen Xi didn't say much.
He's been busy lately.
First of all, because at the 2009-2010 level, a lot of things are now going to be liquidated, especially the whole company.
In this way, the company still held an annual meeting as in previous years, and many people with important positions came to the scene to participate in such an annual meeting, which was mainly to summarize the results of last year and then began to look forward to the future.
At this time, "Source Code" was not fully completed, and it was still released around the world, but after evaluation, it was probably calculated that "Source Code" should be able to earn 5-800 million yuan in the world, which is quite a huge number.
In the face of such a thing, Chen Xi is also a big one.
Last year, Deep Space Film and Television earned a total of more than 500 million yuan in a year through a variety of film and television works and other businesses (not counting "Source Code"), such a strong profitability can be said to be quite good in other domestic film and television companies, but the problem is that last year, the company spent almost 300 million yuan just on the construction of the deep space video network, and the video website is now in this era of horse racing, even if so much money has been used, but it has not made a few splashes, And although the investment of 300 million yuan was smashed in, the real return was only less than 100 million......
This is a headache for many people,2010The video site will continue to become a black hole for swallowing money,This is obvious,Although the results of Deep Space Film and Television this year are also very large,But the video site that has only been established for a year has now become one of the first-class video sites with PPS、Youku Tudou, and has taken a leading step in self-made dramas,These things are enough。
Many things in the domestic online self-media are still in the stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the business model has not been opened at all, and in this case, the money has to be thrown down.
In addition, the construction of cinemas started in various places, in the past year, it also cost more than 600 million, but it is finally in the first-tier cities of the country, basically all of them have rolled out the cinema system of deep space film and television, and now they have not started to join, but these cinemas are basically completely part of deep space film and television......
There are other beginnings, anyway, last year's Deep Space Film and Television even lost about 300 million if it didn't count "Source Code", this is the company's first year of loss, of course, after the income of "Source Code" comes back, these can be blocked, but Chen Xi's ambition is too big, and he still has to stake land in the coming year, and the bank loan will still be repaid and then lent out immediately.
In this way, the next year will also be an extremely critical year for the development of deep space film and television, if it does not survive this year, although Chen Xi will not be ruined, but the company will be in trouble all of a sudden.
However, it is too difficult to keep the company strong under the situation of continuing to spread out, and anyone else will think that Chen Xi is really crazy!
In the face of this situation, how should I break the game? (To be continued......)
