"Charlotte's Troubles" is down, and the box office has almost arrived.

Wanda Pictures is one of the distributors, and it doesn't make much, just the most conventional distribution fee, which is about six percent of the total box office.

Don't think that 6 percent is outrageous, this is already a very conscientious price, Hollywood, the average distribution cost can account for 15% of the total box office!

Or is it because the domestic market is not very mature, a movie only needs to have a big star or big director to join, and the theater chain will beg to be screened...

Hollywood is different, distribution companies have a wide range of publicity channels and strong distribution capabilities, not to say that a casual acquisition of a company with distribution rights can achieve the level of six or even second-tier distributors in publicity.

If the distribution problem was really easy to solve, the later Pixar Studios and DreamWorks Animation Studios would not go around looking for distributors, the former being so aggrieved under Disney, and the latter even wanting to sell themselves to distributors...

Back to the topic, although "Charlotte's Troubles" did not help Wanda achieve a qualitative change, as the distributor, they know all the information behind "Charlotte's Troubles", which naturally includes Bai Xiaofei's investment.

The cinema chain has already injected the first payment into the hands of the issuer.

According to the relevant regulations on mainland film screening, generally speaking, 28 days after the release of a film, the theater will pay the distributor the first share, and the subsequent share will vary according to the agreement and release time.

However, when the money will be paid to the producers and other investors is unknown.

Especially for those individual investors, it is normal for the issuer to drag on for a year and a half, even for the most reputable companies, and there are endless cases of defaults and delays in payment...

Never overestimate the ethics of a studio.

This is also the main reason why Bai Xiaofei hangs the director's studio under Yongsheng.

Personal, independent studios are never a match for the big companies!

Say it's a pit!

Of course, most distributors will not pit a director with an obvious rising period, and Bai Xiaofei's account has already been recorded.

Yes, the tax at the box office of the film is 5% of the special fund for film development, 3.3% of the business tax and surcharge for every 100 yuan of box office.

Therefore, this part of the income does not need to pay additional taxes, except for personal income tax, of course...

Xiaobai invested 5 million in the name of the director's studio, and 5 million is not even a hair for Wanda Pictures!

But the 5 million in exchange for almost 120 million profit shares, this is too scary!

Nearly 24 times the return on investment...

And now there's "Knocking on Heaven's Door"...

Let's put it this way, Bai Xiaofei's personal income through two movies has exceeded most of the film and television production companies in the country!

……

For almost half an hour, Bai Xiaofei couldn't remember how much wine he drank, although most of it was red wine, but his amount of wine could only be regarded as average, at this time, there was already a feeling of being top-heavy...

You must not get drunk on such an occasion, in case you are drunk and your ugliness is revealed, Xiaobai will become a laughing stock!

"Do you want to throw up once?"

Chen Baolian, who had been invisible, appeared beside Bai Xiaofei and suggested a little worriedly.

"How do you vomit? Pick with your fingers? ”

"Well, it will feel better that way, and then you can come back and continue. That's what I've done at banquets before! ”

“…”

This woman is so cruel to herself!

Xiaobai couldn't do it, so he shook his head decisively: "I'll find a place to rest, drink some tea, and wake up my brain..."

"There's a booth over there, go over there!"

On the left side of the hall, there are several salons, separated by beaded curtains, and there should be no people.

Lifted the bead curtain and nodded to a few big guys who were chatting.

"Xiaofei is a little drunk, I asked him to sober up..."

Chen Baolian was in charge of explaining, Xiaobai sat straight in the corner and asked for a pot of dragon wells.

"Aren't you pretty good at drinking? I used to drink all my wine with Xiao Jiu! ”

“… That's beer! Besides, you only have a case of beer in your house! ”

Xiaobai was a little speechless, although he was a little dizzy, his brain was very clear...

"Okay, you sit here, and somebody comes, and you..."

"You don't have to worry about me, let's go!"

Waving his hand impatiently, Chen Baolian poured him good tea, looked at it worriedly, and rubbed for several minutes before walking out of the booth.

This kind of occasion is a great place to make connections.

Xiaobai's worst thing now is the foundation, as an agent, Chen Baolian must help him build a huge network of contacts in the shortest possible time.

She's good for that!

……

Xiaobai leaned his head on the sofa and closed his eyes.

The head hurts a little.

It should be the reason why he hasn't rested well in the past few days, otherwise, how could this little wine make him faint?

There is the sound of high heels stepping on the floor...

"Why are you back again?"

"Huh?"

"I said... I'm sorry, I thought it was my agent..."

I opened my eyes a little impatiently, and it was too big, it was not Chen Baolian, it was a slender girl.

The black evening dress should also be here for the dinner party...

It's a little familiar, but for a while, Xiaobai can't remember the name...

"Is there anyone here? Then I..."

"No, no, I'm a little drunk, sober up here, you're... Tong Liya? ”

I finally remembered who it was!

“… Right... You are, Director Bai Xiaofei! ”

"Hello senior sister!"

Xiaobai hurriedly got up and had a much more correct attitude...

This is Xiaobai's direct sister, when she was in school, Bai Xiaofei heard her name, uh, Tong Liya is the first student in Chinese opera to go out to film in her freshman year!

According to the general regulations, first-year students are not allowed to go out to film.

That drama is a TV series directed by Er Dongsheng, which is a co-production...

Gently shook it on the other party's slender fingers, Xiaobai said directly: "You can call Xiaobai..."

"Why are you here?"

"I've drunk too much, I'm a little dizzy..."

Bai Xiaofei touched his nose a little embarrassed.

Of course he knows why Tong Liya is here, on this occasion, there will definitely be female stars, Bai Xiaofei has already met Bai Mojin and Zhao Yanzi just now.

Although Wanda did not directly sign with actors, it has intersected with many brokerage companies through holding and participating in investment.

Tong Liya's personal studio has Wanda's capital.

Her husband Mr. Chen's directorial studio, Wanda stands 46% of the shares!

"Congratulations, the first movie sold a billion dollars!"

"It's just luck." poured a cup of tea and handed it to her: "I watched "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and your role in it is impressive!" ”
