Chapter 632: Returning to the Old Business

Although the entertainment insurance company is in an uproar, even many superstars who have become red and purple, such as Stephen Chow, also came over and asked: "Can I buy insurance for my movie?" ”

"......" Wang Qinian felt that the egg hurt, if even Stephen Chow's movies hit the streets, how bleak will the film market be in the future?

What's more, now Stephen Chow's movies basically don't need to be funded by themselves, they just need to release a mouth, there must be a lot of capital rushing to invest in Stephen Chow's movies. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Basically, Stephen Chow himself is already invincible, even if the movie loses, he can still get a lot of guaranteed income. If the box office of the movie exceeds the guaranteed box office, you can also participate in the sharing of the excess part of the box office of the movie.

"If I can buy street insurance, I'm going to invest some of my own money." Stephen Chow hesitated for a long time and then said.

Wang Qinian said: "When do you plan to start filming your new film "Mermaid"? ”

"I'm ready to shoot at the end of the year." Stephen Chow said.

"The Mermaid" plans to invest more than 300 million yuan, which is the highest cost in the Chinese film market.

As we all know, Stephen Chow's movie box office is mainly the box office of the Chinese film market. The box office generated by other overseas markets is negligible.

If it is someone else, it is difficult to return to the domestic market for a film with an investment of 300 million yuan. But Stephen Chow estimates that it is not difficult, and he can be called the first person in the Chinese film industry to talk about box office appeal.

Even if Wang Qinian is now making a movie himself, the domestic box office may not be able to compete with Stephen Chow.

"By the time the movie is finished and ready to be released, the entertainment insurance company should have opened." Wang Qinian said with a smile, "Assuming that according to the income of 300 million yuan, the maximum insurance purchase is 15 million yuan, and if you lose money, you can make 100% of the claim." ”

For films with an investment of 300 million yuan, after deducting various costs, 700 million box office movies can be recouped. Whether it is from the perspective of the growth space of China's film box office market, or from the perspective of Stephen Chow's box office appeal. It is unlikely that the box office will be less than 700 million yuan.

However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, what if you really hit the street?

The larger the scale of investment, the more the industry's top directors. Once you hit the street, the amount of loss will be higher.

After all, newcomers in the film industry and directors with average fame generally have works with an investment of several million to tens of millions of yuan, even if such works are lost. The amount of the net loss is also limited.

In fact, "Mermaid" is a super IP, in fact, the movie itself is really losing money. Because, in the previous cooperation with Stephen Chow, the mobile game "Journey to the West", the current monthly income is stable at about 100 million yuan. It is estimated that the annual revenue can exceed 1 billion yuan, and the income of the game is no less than the box office of the movie. What's even more enticing is that the game is not only released for a few dozen days like the movie, but has a life force of more than a few years. Normal hit games, even. Ten years later, it will continue to generate income.

For example, Legend became the most successful online game in China in 2002, and over the next decade, Legend has been adapted into countless versions, from 2D to 3D, from client to web game. From PC to mobile gaming......

An IP of "Legend", even if it has been fighting for more than ten years and changing dozens of different games, it can still continue to make money.

Other popular online games such as "Miracle", "Fantasy Journey to the West", and "Dragon Babu" also have a very long-term vitality.

A really big hit game is up and running. It's definitely more profitable than movies!

Movies are mainly a one-shot deal, and the peak income period is a release period of about a few dozens. The game is a trickle, and it was difficult for the game to become popular at first, but. A game with playability, when it becomes popular, you can earn it for a long time.

……

After Stephen Chow planned to shoot "The Mermaid", Wang Qinian also began to itch his hands and planned to shoot a movie himself. In order to consider the overseas market, Wang Qinian naturally also adopted IP!

When it comes to influence. Naturally, it is the copyright of Marvel, DC and other comic book characters in the United States, and it has world-class influence.

China also has world-class influential characters, such as Monkey King, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the like, which must be world-class. However, the problem is that these topical characters are too old and have been adapted too many times by various literary and artistic works around the world.

This is not quite in line with Wang Qinian's expectations, in order to pursue fashionable value, Wang Qinian made a selection and decided to choose to shoot - the live-action movie version of "Magic ** Catalog"!

Originally, Wang Qinian also considered the IP of his small partner, but in the end, he found that the main influence of China's IP in recent years is concentrated in China. For example, Chinese fantasy novels are limited to translation and commercial development, so most of them are only popular in the Chinese-speaking market.

Although there have been some fans overseas in recent years, these are all niche fans.

In addition to being the best-selling light novel in Japan, "Magic ** Catalog" is more importantly, the anime change is extremely successful. Moreover, there are countless fan works, and the topicality transcends national borders.

The Japanese branch of the small partner has purchased a bunch of IP adaptation rights, not specifically to purchase IP adaptation rights. Instead, the small partner company purchases a series of rights and interests of these copyrights, including the distribution rights of Chinese Simplified Chinese versions of novels, comics, animations and other related works, and after a bunch of copyrights, it is attached to the live-action film adaptation rights and game adaptation rights, and the combined purchase can save a lot of money.

For example, for the copyright of the "Magic ** Catalog" series, the small partner company paid a cost of up to 30 million US dollars.

Assuming that just the introduction of animation copyrights is estimated to be $10 million. Moreover, it can also be accompanied by a "Electromagnetic Cannon of a Certain Science".

But in the end, under Wang Qinian's questioning, the film and television and game adaptation rights of some animation works that have been popular in recent years and have topical topics.

"Magic ** Catalog" is the copyright introduced by the little partner, second only to the copyright of the Moon World.

The Moon World is the copyright acquisition of the entire series, paying $100 million, in addition, even the original author was hired by the big bag, and the copyright of the subsequent works is also owned by the partner company.

The success of the Moon World lies in its blend of history and occultism, making it not just a simple and naΓ―ve anime work, but also a huge live-action film and television adaptation.

The work "Demon Forbidden" has been good for a long time, it has a certain amount of mystery and science fiction elements. If the adaptation is good, it may be no less than the pseudo-sci-fi superheroes that Hollywood has swept the world in recent years. (To be continued.) )
