"We must come up with means to weaken the partner company! This is the purpose of Shanshan Entertainment, if we can't do it, then, we will withdraw our investment and stop funding Shanshan Entertainment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoColombia's films, there will also be a Chinese distributor! On the phone, a middle-aged man said in a domineering tone.
"Understood!" Xu Shanshan responded, "Within this year, Shanshan Entertainment will invest in three films. Next year, there will be more than ten, and we will have enough hole cards to attack. It can not only serve the purpose of sniping the movie of the little partner's company, but also achieve profitability! ”
"Yo Xi!" Sony's top management initially gave orders in Chinese, but when excited, Japanese couldn't help but blurt out.
Hung up the phone.
Xu Shanshan couldn't help but shake her head, and her heart changed to that decades ago, she was enough to be a traitor as a dog. However, this idea was thrown out of her mind in a blink of an eye, after all, at least she received funding from Sony to set up Shanshan Entertainment. Now you have to rely on Sony, and when your wings are hard, you can turn your face at any time.
When "Jianghu 2" was released, Xu Shanshan, the owner of Shanshan Entertainment Company, was a little helpless, although Shanshan Entertainment Company had just obtained the film distribution qualification, but it missed a good opportunity to snipe "Jianghu 2".
In fact, Xu Shanshan has a very powerful hole card in her hand - the movie version of "Spider-Man". Originally, "Spider-Man" was a classic character in Marvel Comics, but it was later conceived by Sony and bought the copyright. Since then, Marvel has been very embarrassed, and the Avengers and other movies can't use the role of Spider-Man.
After the little spider broke away from Marvel, it was highly praised by Sony at first, and its popularity increased instead of saying. But later, it lost the support of Marvel's original book, and its popularity also declined.
Marvel sells the rights to classics, which is also a helpless move. In the early years, Marvel relied mainly on the comic book business. In recent years, Hollywood adaptations of superhero movies have been selling well, and Marvel has seen others use their own copyright adaptations to make money, so they also make movies themselves. Afterward...... Naturally, it's hitting the streets! After the heavy loss, I had to sell some copyrights to make up for the loss.
Until later. Disney bought Marvel, a giant specializing in superhero comic book rights, and only then did it stop selling its superhero rights.
Of course, this year's "Spider-Man" is one of the more powerful imported films in 2002. is slightly weaker than "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", but it is a blockbuster on the same level as "The Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars Eve 2".
In other words, among the imported films in 02, there are many overseas blockbusters - "Harry Potter", "The Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars Eve 2", "Spider-Man" and so on. Of course. The box office performance in China is only about 40 or 50 million yuan.
On the one hand, it is because of policy suppression, lack of publicity, and poor scheduling. In addition, it is also related to domestic audiences who have just accepted these superpowers, magic type movies.
You must know that the Hollywood imported films in the past few years are still realistic themes such as "True Lies", "Titanic", "Saving Private Ryan", and "Who Am I". But all of a sudden, Hollywood began to change. It mainly adapts novels, comics, and game fantasy themes.
The domestic audience has not yet kept up with the rhythm, and the reflection is half a beat slower. Therefore, the box office of these films is far less popular than the previous "Titanic". But the continuous introduction of these films, within a few years, domestic audiences began to keep up with the rhythm of Hollywood. Even...... Genres that audiences in North America are tired of watching, such as "Pacific Rim". But China's box office market is surprisingly good. So much so that later Hollywood movies became more and more flattering and stammering with China, when the script was written. He went to China for review. If China's review fails, many Hollywood blockbusters that have to consider the Chinese market will even be stillborn.
Later, Hollywood blockbusters hit new highs at the box office in the Chinese market, and the cold in the North American market, in essence, because the films are increasingly considering the Chinese market.
Of course, the current Hollywood blockbusters are completely dumped on the Chinese market, and after they are sold once in the world, they will be sold again in China by the way. It is impossible to create a film specifically for the tastes of Chinese audiences.
"Mr. Xu, the small partner company is vigorously engaged in the issuance business this year, and Yu Dong called this year the first year of the issuance of the small partner company. Their two most focused release projects this year are "Jianghu 2" and "Legend of Tianmai"! Spider-Man can be used to snipe Celestial Pulse Legends! It is said that the small partner company won the distribution right of "The Legend of Tianmai", and even signed a guaranteed 10 million yuan sharing contract. In other words, if the box office is less than 50 million yuan, the partner company will pay the producer! Shanshan Entertainment Company executives said respectfully, "In addition, the small partner company has invested in Chen Kaige's music-related movie "With You", which is expected to be released in the second half of this year! ”
"Huh?" Xu Shanshan thought for a long time and said, "Okay! "Spider-Man" is used against "Legend of the Celestial Pulse"! In addition, the movie "The Next Superstar 2" was used to snipe Chen Kaige! ”
"Boss, Gao Ming!" Flattery from the staff.
Xu Shanshan is also smiling, the release of "Spider-Man" did not sign a guaranteed contract, which is equivalent to directly giving Shanshan Entertainment a blood transfusion and sending distribution profits.
As for "The Next Superstar 2", it is estimated that it will not lose money, not only to make money, but also to hit the opponent's investment projects. Let Xu Shanshan feel that Shanshan Entertainment Company is getting better day by day, and the partner company is declining day by day.
Of course, this is just an illusion!
Not to mention the huge profits brought by the game business, the small partner company is just the movie itself. The little partner company is much stronger than Shanshan Entertainment.
……
At the end of May 2002, the box office revenue of "Jianghu 2" exceeded 100 million yuan! Let the partner company enter the box office club of 100 million yuan.
Although, the film partner company is only a distribution, not an investment in production. But anyway, seventy percent of the team in it are their own people from the small partner company.
The big hit of this film has also made the value of many actors under the hands of the small partner company get a comprehensive improvement in the system.
For example, Li Jie's current salary for movies is no less than 5 million yuan, and the salary for TV series is 40,000 yuan per episode. This kind of salary is already a first-line in China. Higher salaries than him are often co-produced blockbusters with overseas capital investment and targeting the global market.
In addition, Yang Weiwei, a grassroots actress who is popular in the small partner company, although she does not have a background in the three major art universities, she is not asked about her background, and now she is also red and purple, and her salary is at least 3.5 million. In addition, she has received a bunch of advertising endorsements, and has become a first-line actress with an annual income of more than 10 million.
And Gao Yuanyuan's value has also risen sharply because of his participation in the column "Jianghu", with a salary of 2 million, almost no less than Jiang Qinqin. What is touching is that "Jianghu" originally invited Jiang Qinqin to participate, but she missed the opportunity. If she participates in this blockbuster, her value will definitely rise a lot, compared to Jiang Qinqin's intestines that he has regretted.
Of course, now Gao Yuanyuan has also officially signed a contract and joined the small partner company. The small partner company promised her that the annual income would be at least 1 million yuan per year, and the company would make up for the shortfall. In addition, there is an equity incentive of 1/10,000 of the small partner companies every year. The brokerage contract lasts for ten years, which means that the partner company has won a very powerful actor.
Of course, the small partner company is now able to sign more and more stars, in essence, because of the company's strength, which is more and more recognized by the industry.
After all, under the small partner company, there are more and more celebrities worth tens of millions, such as Yang Weiwei, Gao Yuanyuan, Huang Xiaoming, Li Jie, Chen Kun, these five people are all popular in the small partner company. From an unknown newcomer to a first-line star.
If the annual income exceeds one million, there shall be no less than ten partner companies.
According to the ranking of the domestic entertainment industry at this time, with an annual income of one million, it can already be ranked within the top 100. With an annual income of tens of millions, you can rank in the top 20!
In the entire entertainment industry, almost no one denies the star-making ability of the little partner company!
"This year's guaranteed target in the big film market is 25% of the box office market share. The total box office of our own invested films, or released films, should occupy 25% of the domestic market! Yu Dong said excitedly at the celebration meeting of "Jianghu 2".
Of course, if the total box office is 1 billion, 25% of the box office share is 250 million box office. Since the beginning of this year, the "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" and "Jianghu 2" of the partner company have combined to have a box office of nearly 180 million.
Considering that the partner company will have a few movies released in the future, to achieve this goal, although it cannot be said that it is easy, but it is too difficult to merge. (To be continued.) )
