Chapter 202: Dreams Never Fade
Although "Jianghu" has achieved a box office of 81.47 million yuan, it is expected that after the box office share is deducted, it will only be about 10,000 yuan.
In addition, Golden Harvest is responsible for overseas travel, due to the bleakness in the European and American markets, the overseas box office is only equivalent to 5ooo yuan, after deducting the cost of layers of channels, only more than 12oo yuan of income.
In other words, the investment income from the box office of the movie "Jianghu" is about 3ooo yuan!
Considering that the small partner company converts the salary of the director and actor into an investment of 1ooo yuan, this can also get dividends. In contrast, many investors contributed 4ooo million, but when it came to dividends, they could only get 3ooo million. The investment of four dollars pays back three dollars.
Except for the small partner company, which guarantees income during drought and flood, other investors are losing money.
Even if the 5oo yuan income from movie patches and embedded advertisements is included, and the income from TV rights and video tape rights is included, an additional 4oo yuan of income is added, and the film is still at a loss.
Although, the small partner company is guaranteed by drought and flood, and it will definitely not lose money. But Wang Qinian can't break the law that following the investment of a small partner company will inevitably make money.
After discussions with investors, the film "Jianghu" sold the rights to the TV series adaptation and the sequel to the movie.
Among them, the copyright of the TV series adaptation was purchased by BJ TV for 3oo yuan. The copyright of the sequel to the movie was bought out by Golden Harvest Film Company for 5oo yuan.
In this way, investors in the "Jianghu" movie can share an income of 470,000 yuan.
invested 4ooo yuan and made a profit of 7oo000 yuan...... Considering that this film was produced and released to the beneficiary settlement, in less than 1 year, this investment rate of return is still satisfactory to many investors.
As for the partner company, it also received a share of 11.75 million yuan. This share. It is almost an empty glove white wolf, and the risk taken is much more slight than that of other investors.
Of course, the partner company also bears the obligation to give the crew a red envelope, which is not written in the contract. Other investors can not bear it, but the partner company must bear it. Because this is the rule set by Wang Qinian, only if the rules are always obeyed, can you gain the respect of others.
If you take the lead and don't follow the rules. So...... In the future, in the circle of small partner companies, it is estimated that actors will no longer be able to invite actors to come to shoot at a low price.
Because, inviting actors to make films at a low price is not only because everyone wants to mix up fame and see Wang Qinian's face. In addition, after making money, the partner company will compensate the crew members with a part, which is also part of maintaining the prestige of the partner company.
The movie "Jianghu". also took out 2.75 million yuan in cash to reward the actors behind and behind the scenes. Among them. The employees who belong to the small partner's film and television special effects studio also shared a cash reward of 350,000 yuan because they participated in the special effects production of "Jianghu".
……
After Jiahe boss Zou Wenhuai visited the capital, it was definitely a big event for the domestic film and television industry. Even now, when Hong Kong films are in decline, Golden Harvest is still regarded as a representative of the Chinese-language film industry.
Of course, the contact between the small partner company and the boss of Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai. It was also read by the media and deciphered a bunch of information.
In fact, Wang Qinian and Zou Wenhuai were just chatting.
Although the two can talk about it, Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest, proposed 100 million yuan to invest in the company. Take 2o% equity. Wang Qinian thought carefully for a few minutes, but still refused!
After all. Not to introduce external investment, this is the strategy that Wang Qinian formulated from the beginning. Even if the introduction of external investment is faster at the beginning, it will leave hidden dangers if it is not done well in the future. Wang Qinian would rather show it slower, and he doesn't want the partner company to have problems because of infighting in the future.
Seeing that Wang Qinian rejected Jiahe's shareholding, although Zou Wenhuai was a little regretful, he was not angry at all. After all, talented people are inevitably arrogant, which does not affect Zou Wenhuai's appreciation of Wang Qinian.
At the point of shareholding, the cooperation between the partner company and other aspects of Golden Harvest is still very pleasant. For example, the sequel copyright of "Jianghu" was handed over to Golden Harvest by the partner company. A popular movie copyright, although it is impossible to completely save Golden Harvest's decline, will at least inject a dose of stimulant into Golden Harvest at this time, proving to the outside world that Golden Harvest is still a giant, and it is still declining because of Jackie Chan's departure.
After the curtain came down on the movie "Jianghu", Golden Harvest Film Company struck while the iron was hot, held a press conference in the capital, and announced that it would invest in the filming of "Jianghu II".
This movie continues to use more than seventy percent of the original crew of "Jianghu".
However, Wang Qinian did not serve as the screenwriter and director of the sequel.
Of course, Jiahe also tried to win over Wang Qinian and offered a salary of 350,000 yuan, but Wang Qinian still refused. After all, Wang Qinian of "Jianghu 2" is not sure, the shooting is better than the previous work, and he is not completely sure that he can make a profit!
Wang Qinian is afraid of ruining his reputation!
Now Wang Qinian's main reputation in the industry is that every film makes money, and if you follow Wang Qinian's investment, you can't lose money!
If this golden body is broken, it will inevitably greatly affect Wang Qinian's prestige!
And Wang Qinian's "Jianghu" feels more deeply that the capacity of the domestic box office market is still too small. The blockbuster is in this small pool, and it will look a little aggrieved.
Therefore, Wang Qinian decided to retreat strategically and take the initiative to return to small-budget movies. In a few years, the scale of the movie box office market will become larger, and then gradually increase investment in blockbusters!
Of course, a small cost does not mean that it is not a sell-out!
In fact, movies with a small investment budget can get a high box office with a small investment budget and find the blind spots of the market!
Blockbusters, almost no dark horses! It's all white horses! This is the way it should be, and hitting the street will be ridiculed and ridiculed by countless people in the industry.
And for small-budget films, no one expects a high box office, and as a result, the box office income is similar to that of blockbusters, which is naturally regarded as a dark horse at the box office!
Wang Qinian also started as a box office dark horse at the beginning, and now it is equivalent to returning to the original state!
The theme chosen by Wang Qinian is a song and dance film that has been ignored by the public, and the name of the film is "Youth Singing and Dance"! Wang Qinian's version of "Youth Singing and Dance"!
Originally, the American version of "Song and Dance Qiongchun" was a TV movie in 2oo6, which was both a movie that was shown on TV and not released in theaters. But the "Youth Musical" series still has a sensational effect in the United States. even, once let the film and television of sluggish song and dance films rejuvenate.
The so-called song and dance film is a theme that began to become popular when sound movies in the 2O era and the 2O era were just released. The earliest song and dance movies can be traced back to the first sound film "The Jazz Singer" in 1927, which itself was based on a musical, and attracted the interest of many audiences on the big screen for a long time. Later, Warner Pictures' inspirational revue "Forty-second Street" released in 1933 was even more popular.
This theme began to rise in the 2o~3o years and reached its peak in the 50s and 60s. By the 70s, it had already begun to decline, and by the 80s, it was synonymous with hitting the streets.
At present, in addition to the bizarre Indian movies, the theme of song and dance is still popular all over the world. All over the world, cabaret movies are in decline.
Of course, any once popular theme, after a long-term downturn, does not mean that the theme is completely dead.
In fact, even if it is a theme like a song and dance film, which is considered to be a street fight, in the 8o years, there was once a phenomenal movie like "Lightning Dance", and the break dance in the movie quickly swept the world. In addition, breakdance-themed film and television works have also followed the trend, and many box office results are still okay.
In the 9o and 21st centuries, many people felt that the song and dance film was dead. Except for the Indians who are still looking outside, there is no other market in the world.
But this is not the case, most of the songs and dances that hit the street are old-fashioned, and for young people, there is no sense of substitution.
But like "Youth Musical", new wine in old bottles cannot be said to be completely innovative. But more closely, the lives and dreams of the current youth have been added...... It is destined to bring this theme to life!
The "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" that Wang Qinian plans to shoot is not the same thing as the one in the United States in 2oo6. But it also puts the background in the school, and also tells the dreams of adolescent teenagers.
Dreams that never fade!
Wang Qinian is convinced of this! (To be continued) R655
