Chapter 1136: Overseas Box Office Explosion (Ask for Subscription!) ）

In the past few days, "Reverse Dust" is naturally the new favorite of all the media in China, almost everything about it is described as dominating the screen, some are reporting on the box office of the movie and the significance it brings, and some are talking about directors, stars, the potential of Chinese films, etc., in short, there are all kinds of words, but the content is inseparable from the three words "Reverse Mortal Dust".

Everyone's evaluation of the movie after watching it is very good, and the relevant professional evaluation website has made a tracking evaluation of the 4 big-budget movies released at the same time, and the result is that "Reverse Dust" ranked first with a comprehensive score of 9.6 points.

In just 15 days, the number of people who entered the cinema to watch "Extraordinary Dust" has exceeded 90 million, setting a new high for Chinese films.

After Xu Yinglong turned off the computer, he dialed Su Wei's phone as soon as possible.

The phone rang twice and was picked up, and then Su Wei habitually complained: "I said big star, do we want to do it so thoroughly, the box office of the movie has exceeded 3 billion, you only appeared, do you want the whole crew to drown you with spittle?" ”

Xu Yinglong smiled and said: "Okay, let's stop talking about these useless things, I don't know what's wrong, who will play and disappear if it's okay!" ”

"Do you know the box office of our pioneering work?" Su Wei asked with a smile.

"I just watched it, it's broken three billion, not bad!" Xu Yinglong said.

"Three billion is just the beginning, our movie has only been released for 15 days, and the number of moviegoers is only 91.2 million. There's still a lot of room for improvement. Su Wei said.

"Well, this one is inevitable. However, it seems that it has not yet broken the highest box office record of Chinese films, and we still have to work hard! Xu Yinglong said.

"Don't worry. In the past two days, not only that, but our "Extraordinary Dust" will also create a new history of Chinese films! Su Wei said confidently.

"Oh, what new history?" Xu Yinglong immediately asked.

"I want to be the most popular Chinese-language film in history, not only domestically, but also internationally!"

Then Su Wei continued: """Extraordinary Dust" has begun to break various records since its release, breaking the 3 billion box office mark in only 15 days, and it is just around the corner from topping the box office champion in domestic film history. At the same time, "Against the Mortal" was also released overseas last week. It is rated R in the North American market and 16 in the United Kingdom, and the overall film schedule is okay. After landing in North America, "Extraordinary Dust" was released in 159 theaters in 49 cities in the United States and 33 theaters in 15 cities in Canada, with a cumulative box office of $13.29 million in the first week and 5 days, with an average single box office of $84,000, setting the best result for a Chinese film in the United States. ”

In addition to North America, Extraordinary's distribution is in 64 overseas markets, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam. According to our statistics. The film grossed US$2.42 million on its first day in Singapore and US$1.3 million in Malaysia, both breaking the first-day box office record for a Chinese-language film in the local market. In Indonesia, it set a record of 5.44 million US dollars on the first day, which also became the highest overseas single-day record for "Extraordinary Dust". At present, the film has been released overseas for 5 days. created a total box office of 79 million US dollars, if you count these, the total box office of "Against the Mortal" has topped the championship of Chinese films. ”

This news is really good for Xu Yinglong. immediately asked: "What is the evaluation of overseas audiences, and is there a one-sided situation?" ”

"Overall ok. There is no phenomenon that Chinese movies are frequently spit out. At present, the media rating of "Extraordinary Dust" on the website is 81 points; The Rotten Tomatoes freshness on Rotten Tomatoes has not yet been generated due to the low media rating, but it is generally not bad. In North America, people call "Extraordinary" an epic oriental magic movie. With the continuous fermentation of the movie's word-of-mouth, the box office of the movie will surely create a new record. Su Wei said.

Xu Yinglong smiled and said: "Congratulations to President Suda, this investment is a big win, and you have made a lot of money!" ”

Su Wei sighed and said: "It's okay if you don't say this, I'm a little angry when I say this, this time I was cheated, in fact, we made far less money than we imagined!" ”

"Ah, what's going on, let's not make more than a billion at such a hot box office?" Xu Yinglong said.

"More than a billion? Are you kidding! ”

Then Su Wei said again: "The box office of the movie is high, but it's a pity that we don't get a lot of money, it's a pity!" ”

Su Wei's tone was a little sour, and he could see that he was very dissatisfied!

When Xu Yinglong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What do you mean, why can't we get a lot of money at the box office?" ”

Su Wei sighed and said: "This is because we and the distribution side implement guaranteed distribution, so a large part of the box office has to be distributed to the distributor, plus there is also a share of the theater chain, so the money we can share is not as much as we imagined!" ”

"Guaranteed issuance?" Xu Yinglong's face was puzzled, obviously he didn't know anything about it.

"The so-called guarantee is a VAM agreement signed between the producer and the distributor before the release of the film. According to the agreement, the two parties confirm an amount, no matter what the final box office of the film is, the producer can lock in a high amount of income in advance, and the distributor will give priority to the part of the actual box office that exceeds this amount, and the distributor's guarantee to "Extraordinary Dust" this time is a box office commitment of 1.8 billion yuan"

"To put it simply, I don't understand, you just need to tell me how much money Starlight Entertainment can get this time!" Xu Yinglong said.

"According to the current general principle of account sharing of Chinese films, all the box office income of the film needs to pay a special business tax of 3.3% and a special fund for the film industry of 5%, and the remaining 91.7% is the box office of the film. Of the divisible box office, theaters as screening venues took 57 percent, while producers and distributors took 43 percent. From this point of view, if the guaranteed box office is 1.8 billion yuan, the distribution agent will pay about 700 million yuan to the producer, minus the investment of 270 million yuan, and the producer who signed the VAM agreement can earn about 430 million yuan, which is the money we can see and get at present! Solvay replied.

"And what about the rest of the box office? Not to mention overseas, isn't there still 1.4 billion points at the domestic box office alone? Xu Yinglong asked again.

Su Wei immediately said: "In addition to the guaranteed box office, the share ratio of the excess box office is greatly reduced for us, that is to say, the remaining billion has little to do with us, in general, if the total box office of the movie can reach 4 billion, our company can probably be about 800 million." ”

"So little?" Xu Yinglong asked in surprise.

In Xu Yinglong's view, as the investor of the film, it is reasonable to get at least half of the box office of 4 billion, but he didn't expect to get even 25%.

Su Wei smiled bitterly: "This is also something that can't be helped, who let us not have our own distribution channels, nor our own theaters, we can only be exploited by others." This is still true at home, and even more so abroad. We can basically get about 25% in China, and we can get 10% at most abroad, even if we can get $1 billion at the overseas box office in the end, we can get up to 100 million in our hands! ”

"Distribution channels and theatrical chains are so important for films?" Xu Yinglong asked in surprise.

"Of course, if a movie wants to sell high box office, in addition to its own quality, it is more important to have strong distribution channels and theaters. Our "Extraordinary Dust" was neither released during the Spring Festival nor in the summer, the reason why we can create such a good box office myth is that our film schedule has gone up, 60% of the film schedule on the first day, that is to say, 60% of the screens in all movie theaters in China are playing our movies that day, do you say the box office can not be high? Su Wei said.

"Since cinemas are so important to the box office, can we invest in building our own cinemas?" Xu Yinglong said.

"Invest in your own theater?" Su Wei asked in surprise.

"Can't you?"

"Of course you can, but the investment will be an astronomical amount, you must know that the location of a cinema can not be biased, it is best to be in the most prosperous business district in the city center, and the area should be large enough, and the decoration will go up, such a cinema investment should be calculated at least in 100 million units, and there are so many cities in the country, all built, without tens of billions of investment can not be down at all."
