Chapter 152: Sharing the Cake (Talking about Dry Goods)
"Base Camp" is very snobbish, in fact, all the shows are the same, the guests who are popular are treated one way, and the non-popular ones are another...
The treatment is simply very different, and the entertainment industry is such a realistic circle.
The so-called 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth, life is impermanence, maybe you are still struggling a moment ago, but once you encounter an opportunity, you will turn over and become the master of many people!
It's just that I didn't expect Bai Xiaofei to rise so fast,
In just one month, he jumped directly from an unknown junior to a billion-dollar director!
It is said that when "Thai Embarrassment" was being promoted, Xu Zheng went to "Base Camp".
At that time, a group of hosts didn't take Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, and Wang Baobao in their eyes at all, especially Xu Zheng.
I casually fooled around in front and dealt with the crew of "Thai Embarrassment", and the Korean star named Zhang Ruixi in the back came out to see that they were like slaves,...
He Yi said that Huang Bo had won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, Xie Na said with disdain, "I have also won the Golden Eagle Award", and a group of people applauded...
Big brother, fools know that the Golden Eagle Award and the Golden Horse Award are not the same thing, besides, people are the actors, what did you get?
Then, "Thai Embarrassment" had a box office of 1.2 billion...
At the beginning of the broadcast of "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", when Li Yifeng, Chen Wei, and Ma Tian participated in the show, because "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" was not yet popular, they only had the background of Korean star Park Youtian's flesh, Park Youtian's 23-minute solo show, and their poor ones only had three minutes each.
Then, "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" became so popular that it was endless!
Xiaobai's "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" didn't even enter the threshold of "Base Camp"...
No, after such an analysis, I suddenly feel that "Base Camp" is an alchemy stone, the more you are not optimistic, the higher the box office of the movie!
……
This kind of thing is not as direct as Weibo, but there are a lot of people who play, especially this information is placed in the official post bar of 'Bai Xiaofei', and soon a bunch of people replied...
“… It's so shameless, I feel that "Base Camp" is the most snobbish program in China! ”
"I suddenly remembered one thing, at the press conference of the Happy Family to promote the new movie, a reporter asked: What do you think of the box office and word-of-mouth of the films you have made in the past. Sister Poe pointed to the reporter: Children. We're not the main actors in those films. We're just a supporting character..."
"Resolutely resist this kind of unnutritious show!"
"I especially want to know if "Base Camp" will ban Bai Xiaofei..."
"You think too much, with Xiaobai's current status, only he has the share of blocking this kind of garbage variety show!"
yes, a billion directors...
Although there is no clear division, variety shows are still incomparable with actors and directors, and class division is not uncommon at all!
Several hosts of "Base Camp" looked at each other, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while...
Xie Na was a little unable to suppress the fire: "No, I'm going to post a Weibo to clarify, why do you want us to take the blame every time..."
You are the host, you don't take the blame, who will take the blame?
"Forget it, let's see how Bai Xiaofei replies..."
"He shouldn't be paying attention to that, is he?"
Well, Xiaobai really doesn't pay attention to these...
He is settling accounts with Chen Baolian, don't get me wrong, he is really settling accounts!
In the big cake of "Charlotte's Troubles", which is close to 1.5 billion!
……
The box office of 1.46 billion is definitely a very good result, but this huge amount of money will not fall into the pocket of any person or company, from theaters to distribution, and then from production to investment, many aspects will share this cake.
First of all, the total box office of all films must pay 5% of the special funds for the film industry to the "special fund office", and each movie theater will pay it to the "special fund office" every month and hand it over to the state treasury.
Secondly, the total box office of all films must pay a special business tax of 3.3%, that is, various taxes are paid to the national tax and local tax, and the theater will directly deduct and pay it from the total box office.
The above two items, totaling 5% + 3.3% = 8.3%, are called "divisible box office", and the remaining 1 - 8.3% = 91.7% is "divisible box office"!
That's 120 million...
Of course, the Film Development Committee gives 10 million rewards to films with a box office of more than one billion, which is to encourage domestic films to watch for money?
The Notice on Subsidizing the Creation and Production of Domestic High-tech Format Films clearly stipulates: "ZF will reward the copyright owners of domestic 3D, giant screen and other high-tech format films that enter the market for distribution and screening, according to the box office income of the film: if the box office is between 50 million and 100 million yuan, 1 million will be rewarded; If the box office is between 100 million and 300 million yuan, 2 million yuan will be rewarded; 300 million to 500 million, 5 million rewards; More than 500 million will be rewarded with 10 million. ^”
I don't understand why the Film Bureau formulated such regulations, most countries, such as South Korea and Japan, reward award-winning films...
At this stage, many domestic films have invested so much, and the production cost often exceeds 100 million, isn't the producer worried that he will not be able to recover the cost?
Yes, if it's just the filmmakers who pay for it, they must be worried!
Don't worry, we have a special fund for high-quality films!
It is often said that eight or nine out of ten domestic films have lost money, but in fact, this is not the case, and one of the important reasons is various subsidies, support, and rewards from the state and local ZF.
It has been 21 years since the launch of the special fund for high-quality films in 1996, and the annual investment of ¥100 million+ is a lot of money for the film industry.
For example, Chen Kaige's "Zhao's Orphan" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat", including the previous "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", which one does not have the support of the local ZF?
In addition to the 8.3% indivisible box office, it is also necessary to pay 1% to 3% to China Film Digital as a distribution agency fee, referred to as "China Digital Agency Fee". Paid by the cinema chain to "China Film Digital".
Please note that this fee is not a "copy fee".
At this stage, all theaters use digital screening, and there is no such thing as selling copies directly!
Why take this money?
There are two reasons for this.
On the one hand, this is a historical legacy. In the early 1990s, when digital technology replaced film, most theaters in the country did not have the funds to replace digital cinema projectors.
To this day, at least seventy percent of the country's theaters are still using the "China Film Digital" digital projector, so it has to take a cut.
On the other hand, as of the end of 2016, at least half of the distributors of digital films in the country are "China Film Digital", if you ask why the other half has to pay?
The projection key can be made through DCP, but most of the projectors in the theater are invested by "China Film Digital", so it does not recognize the keys produced by other units, especially private enterprises.
By the end of 2017, the key to the films released in Chinese mainland was either produced by "China Film Digital", or "Huaying", or produced by the National Press and Publication **** Film Digital Program Management Center, and there was no other possibility.
At the beginning of the establishment of every theater in the country, it will obtain an 8-digit code from the National Press and Publication **** Film Bureau, which is the only identification code; The server of every theater in every theater in the country also has a unique identifier similar to the network IP address, and a special and separate key is required before any film is shown before it can be read out of the digital copy and can be screened.
To make a digital copy, "China Film Digital" charges the distributor 300 yuan, and a film distributed to cities at all levels in various provinces across the country needs about 2,000 digital copies, totaling 300×2000 = 600,000 yuan, this fee is the "copy fee", which is borne by the distributor or producer.
Two thousand years later, although films can be transmitted by satellite or cloud, because a digital movie is generally above 100G (3D is about 200G, IMAX or Chinese giant screen is about 400G), the network bandwidth of the theater is very high, and gigabit optical fiber is generally required, and the stability and security of transmission are often not guaranteed.
Therefore, as of the end of 2016, it is still mainly mail/express digital copy, which is not fundamentally different from the "running film" in the film era.
So, is it 1% or 3%?
Therefore, "China Film Digital" levied 1% on films with a box office performance of less than 600 million yuan, 2% on films with a box office of more than 800 million, and 3% for films with a box office of more than 900 million...
Charlotte's Troubles certainly falls into the latter category.
3% didn't have to run!
That adds up to 11.3%!
165 million...
Of the remaining box office, after deducting the "median agency fee" and the "indivisible box office", the cinema shares 57%, and the producer and distributor share a total of 43%.
What is 88.7% of 43%?
Thirty-eight percent left!
Why can the theater chain be divided into so many points?
738 million!
The producer and distributor can only get 555 million?
I'm sorry, our country is special, and the theater chain is awesome!
If you're not convinced, go to the United States to screen it!
The old American cinema line is weak, and it can only be divided into forty percent at most!
It should be said that China's 43% share of the producer's share of the account is the lowest in the world.
Thanks to Zhang Weiping, the proportion of account sharing at the beginning was 32%, and he increased the proportion to 43% step by step...
It's a pity that Lao Zhang is too crazy...
