Global distribution, those four words sound simple, but who knows how hard it can be to do it?

Just this time, "Truman's World", why did Lionsgate watch this movie?

Every year by the Palme d'Or winners, last year's "Freedom Square", the whole of North America is not interested!

No one is optimistic about its market potential!

The United States has a European Oscar, who cares about a European award?

The important thing is that "Truman's World" has a relatively high market potential!

Although it is a Chinese-language movie, there is Zhang Ziyi, plus this movie naturally has a taste for a group of judges...

So, get the word out, a few million dollars is still possible.

What people are interested in is the follow-up DVD sales, this kind of high-quality movie genre, DVD sales are scary, and of course, there is follow-up cooperation - people have a crush on Bai Xiaofei!

Moreover, with the name of the Cannes Palme d'Or, "Truman's World" should not be a problem to sell for 40 million US dollars worldwide, and it will definitely make money!

Xiaobai also wants to invite Jim Carrey with the help of Lionsgate, except for Jim Carrey, there is really no one who can play "The Man on the Moon" well!

"Comedy is actually a judgment, every joke is a judgment, you have to judge it. Acting is different, acting is a kind of experience, an expression of emotions. ”

This kind of thing, Jim Carrey can say, Xiaobai can't say it, even if he says it, he can't act it!

In a sense, the crazy Jim Carrey can't be imitated by anyone...

"The Man on the Moon" is about Andy Kaufman, a legendary comedy comedian in American history. Despite his brilliance, his unique and insanely humorous expression is not understood and recognized by all, and it is a kind of loneliness...

Who can play this loneliness?

Of course, Jim Carrey will not agree, another say ...

……

On the plane, Xiaobai fell into deep thought.

What touched him the most about Lionsgate's execution this time was Lionsgate's ability to develop and plan film projects!

In order to ensure an annual output of 15 to 17 films, Lionsgate has a development department of only 10 people with high efficiency and accurate judgment, and needs to reserve up to 400 projects per year!

The storage item reaches 400!

Damn, it's scary!

And, as the director who showed him around, said that every Hollywood studio has a similar capacity!

Sources mainly include original projects by developers, collaborative projects with multiple independent producers that have agreed on the right to first see, packaged projects from brokerage companies, and projects that purchase the rights to adapt publications.

The creative team is required to submit a seven-page synopsis to the decision-making level, and only projects that have been unanimously approved by the decision-making team are likely to continue development until the final draft of the script is confirmed, and the finalization process for some projects can take up to two years.

In the development process of each project, the company's 'green light' committee, which is composed of the planning department, the production department, the finance department, the global distribution department, the derivatives development department, the legal department, etc., is the most important mechanism.

At the beginning of the development of each film project, it makes estimates and financial trial calculation models from the aspects of market demand, artistic value, production difficulty, budget volume, distribution and recovery, derivative output, legal risks, etc., and forms data results and submits them to the 'Green Light' Committee many times.

Each film must ensure that it achieves a profit return target of more than 15% in order to pass the 'green light' process.

If a single film cannot be ensured, multiple films must be comprehensively calculated.

"Therefore, the current Hollywood is the world of manga movies, because of the high profits!"

The director, David, said with a slight sarcasm.

Marvel, DC and Lionsgate have nothing to do with each other!

“…”

MMP, you guys have made eight films of "Chainsaw", the American version of "Little Times" - "Twilight" has made five, and "The Hunger Games" has made four, what qualifications do you have to complain about other people's comic movies?

I really want to develop a series as well!

"Kung Fu" is quite suitable...

The charter wife, the fire cloud evil god, the twelve-way Tan leg, the Hong family iron fist, and the gossip stick can all be made into a single movie!

And then there is a "Kung Fu 2"...

It's like the Marvel Universe!

However, this thing is difficult to deal with with Xiaobai's wisdom alone, and I need to find a few more screenwriters...

Especially screenwriters with big brains!

Do you want to contact Fuji Xun and ask them to do a 'kung fu' essay competition?

……

"Three Illusions of Life", the first of which is: My book (or movie) is going to be popular!

99.99% correct! It's just a mess of it!

In other words, if you feel that you want to be hot, 99.99%, you will fight!

Aside from the film market, before the box office comes out, no one knows if they will hit the streets!

In fact, before the film project was established, more than 90% of the film projects in the world came to the results through various complex calculations and investigations.

Otherwise, it won't be able to stand up at all!

The investor is sick, throw money to give you experience?

Before a movie faces the market, no one knows what will happen to its box office.

Whether it is a director or an actor, all kinds of news, all kinds of publicity, and even many movies do not hesitate to create fake news for the sake of publicity - the most cost-effective, trouble-saving and eye-catching thing is, of course, the scandal between men and women.

Of course, "Living Together in Time and Space" is not among them!

After all, Sister Ya is married, and Lei Datou is also married, so it is really inappropriate for these two to cooperate in stirring up scandals...

In fact, a movie with an investment of less than 40 million, can you still expect it to fly?

Moreover, when it was released, "Avengers 3" had only been released for a week, and it was the time when whales swallowed the box office!

However, the double producers of this drama are Bai Xiaofei and Xu Zheng, and the starring roles are Tong Liya and Lei Jiayin, who are popular with the audience.

Therefore, in addition, there are not many domestic films released at the same time, so the theater chain boldly gave 23% of the film schedule!

However, if you analyze the data from the eye, "Living Together in Time and Space" is definitely a three-day theatrical work, and the number of people who want to watch it is only 4,000...

Not even a fraction of "Later Us"!

Then, on the first day of release, the box office was 50 million...

It's okay, after all, the number of films scheduled is only half of "Avengers 3"...

Then, it was released the next day, and the attendance rate was actually higher than that of "Avengers 3" in the same period...

And judging from the box office trend, "Living Together in Time and Space" can completely explode "Avengers 3"!

As a result, on the third day, the theater increased the number of films, and "Living Together in Time and Space" lived up to expectations, breaking 100 million in a single day, and grabbed 38% of the market results with 27% of the film schedule!

Okay, this is a typical movie full of explosive points, referred to as a low-budget dark horse movie!

On the fourth day, Xiaobai returned to China and rushed directly to Shanghai to stand for the platform of "Living Together in Time and Space"...
