"Knocking on the Door of Heaven", Bai Xiaofei signed a contract with a guaranteed plus share.

As a screenwriter, director, and starring actor, his salary is 3 million, this money is guaranteed, you can get it first, and then how much you can get depends on the box office!

If the box office is 200 million, Bai Xiaofei can get a two-percent share;

If it breaks 300 million, it will be 3%;

If it breaks 500 million, there will be a 5% box office share, and after that, every additional 100 million will have a 1% share, and the upper limit is 1.5 billion...

In addition, Bai Xiaofei's director studio is also one of the producers of "Knocking on Heaven's Door" and enjoys a three-percent dividend benefit.

You see, before the movie is released, the cake is already ready!

Therefore, a movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, if the box office cannot reach 300 million, it is a loss.

Filmmaking is a risky thing in itself, not the same as selling a house.

House, no matter how limited the purchase, no matter how macro control, as long as the urbanization process does not stop, the buyer will always be in a weak position...

Chen Laoba has sold houses for half his life, and his understanding of the entire industry is far beyond what ordinary people can know.

However, movies are not the same as selling a house, you spend a lot of money to make a work, and the audience doesn't like it, what can you do?

For the producer, there are distributors who are willing to be wronged and guarantee the distribution, of course they are willing!

……

I have to talk about the relationship between the publisher and the producer.

The producer has the right to decide all matters related to the filming, including what kind of script to shoot, hire directors, cinematographers, actors and send film producers to manage the production funds on its behalf, review the shooting funds and control the whole process of filming.

The distributor makes copies, applies for keys, schedules, sends copies to theaters, advertises, buys advertisements, negotiates account sharing ratios, signs contracts with theaters, etc...

In the end, the film was sold out, and the investor was entitled to a part of it to the distributor as an agency fee.

Many box office fiascos, as long as the distributor is not an investor, it is basically a steady profit!

The distributor makes money not according to how much the box office shares, people have to get the money first, and then they will help the release!

Yongsheng Pictures certainly has the ability to distribute!

The domestic film industry is still in a period of recklessness, which is not the same as Hollywood.

In the whole of Hollywood, there are only a few companies with non-distribution capabilities.

So, DreamWorks is still being played with waste...

The so-called ability to distribute means having the ability to let the theater chain schedule films for you.

This thing is accumulated one work after another.

Ahri is so hanging, the movie still has to be jointly released, why?

They don't dare to eat alone!

Of course, not all publishing companies are so reliable, and the most obvious example is glamorous!

Actually pit the money of the producer!

The distribution cost is difficult to control, because for the layman or the filmmaker, this part of the money distribution company may not give you a detailed account.

Some unreliable issuers will make this part of the fee very high, after deduction, of course, you have no money to share, how to be high? For example, some free things are counted as billing, and some rewards are given to theaters, especially for private ones, whether they are given or not, and how much they are given are not accounted for. And so on and so forth.

With the release of "Knocking on Heaven's Door", Yongsheng was originally ready to cooperate with the big brother in the industry.

also started by selling a house, Chen Laoba found the eldest king.

After watching the film, the person in charge of Wanda studied it very carefully, and then came to the conclusion that this is a movie with great dark horse potential!

The so-called dark horse films, especially the domestic ones, must have comedy to some extent!

Either it is a pure comedy, or it is rich in a lot of comedy elements to create the artistic image of the "little people".

"Crazy Stone" and "Thai Embarrassment" are clearly real comedies.

"33 Days of Broken Love", "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", and "Beijing Fell in Love with Seattle" are romance films, but at least more than half of the storyline in the movie will make the audience laugh.

We can call it a "light comedy of love".

Another point is that the storyline makes extensive use of local Chinese elements, which is consistent with the current social hot issues and online cultural information.

The plot setting and character dialogue, especially the use of dialects, scenes with regional characteristics, and unique folk customs, are all in line with the unique living conditions and social language of Chinese!

It's clear that Knocking on Heaven's Door is a movie of this genre!

Da Lao Wang knows that Chen Laoba is not bad for money, so as soon as he makes a move, it will be 500 million.

The cost of a movie plus the publicity is less than 50 million, and the guarantee is 500 million...

Chen Laoba is very excited...

……

For Xiaobai, it doesn't matter which company is responsible for the distribution of "Knocking on Heaven's Door".

He's not a producer.

Anyway, the box office sold well, and he gained all his fame and fortune.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't sell well, it's just about accumulating experience!

As for what's the guaranteed release, it's actually a kind of gambling, and if you can't complete the performance of the box office bet, the "story bubble" behind it will burst in minutes. Under the pressure of performance gambling and the great uncertainty of the movie box office, buying the box office, stealing the box office, and various fancy box office water injection tricks came into being. Those who are injured are all low-budget films, facing being squeezed out of the schedule and even being stolen at the box office. ’

Or what to say: "Guaranteed issuance does not conform to the law of normal market development." ”

Have a half-dime relationship with him?

He's just a director, not a big guy.

It's not him who spoils Chinese movies, what kind of green onion is he!

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to what Chen Baolian said, and only said, "Just leave it to the company to deal with." ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Shan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, let's continue, where did you just go?"

“… Say you're going to take us out into the world..."

Zhang Shan looked at Bai Xiaofei speechlessly...

Daily bragging!

Actually, Xiaobai has been a little floating recently, and when he first debuted, even if he was unhappy with the little fresh meat surnamed Huang, he would not suggest that the staff let him get out...

With the rise of status, inadvertently, Xiaobai is dealing with things, and he will be different from people and things as before.

No way, in two lifetimes combined, I have never been so successful!

Twenty-three years old, one of the screenwriters, leading actors and directors of Eleven Films.

Just ask if you're afraid?

"It's a pity that the judges of San Sebastian International Film have no vision, otherwise, "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" will be able to win an award after a few laps outside, let's hype it up again, and we will become an international actor and an international director!"

"Yes, you have a point!"

Rolling his eyes, Zhang Shan reluctantly continued to praise...

"I'm telling you, I originally wanted to sign up for the Houston Film Festival, but I'm embarrassed..."

“… Why? ”

"It's too Lo, it's not easy to publicize if you win the award..."
