Chapter 245: The movie is finalized
A week later.
The results of the audit of Taiwan Province have finally come down.
Unlike the previous "restricted" rating, this time the rating has been raised to "R12", which means that children under the age of 12 are prohibited from watching the film.
This happens to be the same rating as "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" in the previous life in Taiwan.
It's not an all-age rating, but it's an acceptable result. After getting this, there is no need to apply for review, and the next thing is to finalize the distributor and the most important movie.
Yu Xian couldn't figure out these things, couldn't figure them out, and didn't want to bother to do them. Of course, this does not mean that Yu Xian has nothing to do and is idle on the sidelines.
While Li Ling was running around for these cumbersome affairs, Yu Xian found various publishing houses in Taiwan Province to discuss the publication of "Those Years".
As early as a few months ago, Yu Xian uploaded the version of "Those Years" to the Internet and received a lot of praise. Nowadays, the "Those Years" movie has passed the review and can be released to meet the moviegoers just after it is finalized, and the "Those Years" version is one of the indispensable precious and key promotional media.
Yu Xian has multiple brilliance - the mainland "past singer", the starting point Chinese network platinum writer, the "father of comedy", the director and screenwriter of the world-popular documentary "Tip of the Tongue".
All of these are blessed together, and the sales volume of "Those Years" is destined to be extraordinary. In addition, the plot background of "Those Years" is Taiwan Province, which can be regarded as catering to the tastes of the locals. As a result, as soon as the publishing houses heard that Yu Xian was going to publish "Those Years", they competed for the copyright one after another.
In the end, under a bidding or welfare competition, Yu Xian chose one of the publishing houses and asked it to publish "Those Years" as soon as possible.
……
Time flies like a white horse, and all things are started to move, advance, and finally be completed.
Regarding the film distributor, Li Ling finally decided to sign a contract with Shengchao Entertainment, which has been cooperating with her, after many visits.
Although Shengchao Entertainment is not as famous as distribution companies such as China Film Group, Huayi Brothers, and Bona Film Group, its industrial chain and other conditions are not comparable to ordinary distribution companies.
Having said that, it is also the support of Shengchao Entertainment that Yu Xian can start from scratch and rise from the film and television industry step by step. Signing a contract with him can be regarded as a gift to an old friend.
After agreement, the distribution commission of "Those Years" was set at 16%, and the distribution cost and publicity fee were paid in advance by Pilgrimage Entertainment, and the specific expenses were settled after the DVD, box office, and online sales flowed.
Yu Xian's investment in filming the film "Those Years" was more than 12 million grandfather Mao. This does not mean that in the end, the amount of money that made Yu Xian profitable was equal to the box office minus 12 million.
The box office will first deduct 5% of the special fund for film development and 3.3% of the business tax, and then divide the account with the theater chain after tax. In Yu Xian's previous life, the producer took 43 percent, and the theater chain took 57 percent. The world has changed slightly, and the producers have a larger share — 53 percent.
Of course, this 53 percent after tax is not the final figure. Don't forget, the publicity fee is paid in advance by the Holy Dynasty Entertainment, and to put it bluntly, the money has to be deducted.
After deducting these, and then deducting the cost of the film, is the real amount of profit.
Oh yes, these profits still refer to the "producer". Yu Xian is not the only producer. Calculated all the way, it is conceivable that the share distributed to Yu Xian is only a very small part of the box office.
The industry knows this, but others don't pay attention to these cumbersome terms or processes. It is precisely because of this that there will be a ridiculous "accusation" of "billions at the box office, but you are reluctant to donate hundreds of millions". Many popular filmmakers will be inexplicably sprayed by the red-eyed water army and carry out moral kidnapping, which is a phenomenon that the public is accustomed to, but the terrible thing is that outsiders still vaguely feel that there is some truth.
Li Ling knows these things very well. Yu Xian's "Those Years" is his film debut, and it would be embarrassing to be blackmailed like this. Therefore, it is not a wrong thing to take precautions - Li Ling and Yu Xian discussed that part of the funds should be invested in the public welfare undertakings of Taiwan Province in the name of the crew of "Those Years", which is also a rare publicity channel.
……
Mid-April.
Yu Xian slept until he woke up naturally in a hotel in Taiwan Province, and after washing, he habitually turned on the computer to check the results of the new book "Breaking the Sky".
Because of the platinum contract in hand, Yu Xian's book "Breaking the Firmament" is constantly recommended, and it can even be said that it is a good recommendation position before all the starting point Chinese network is put on the shelves. The recommendation position is one of the points, and this kind of hot-blooded and cool text is also one of the key points, and under the holding of the two, "Breaking the Sky" rushed to the top of the major lists on the website without suspense, and at the same time the hot reviews were overwhelming.
The day before yesterday, the filming plan of "People in Embarrassment" has been down, and Shengchao Entertainment will provide Li Paipai Film and Television Company with 10 million shooting funds. This movie is a low-budget movie, 10 million, which is quite a generous number. As for why so much money was given, it is said that it was the result of Shengchao Entertainment being particularly optimistic about the box office of "Those Years". In other words, they believe in this emerging director who has created miracles and broken the public's perception - Yu Xian.
"People in Embarrassment" has begun to recruit actors, and as for when filming will start, Yu Xian decided to wait for the schedule of "Those Years" to be set.
"Back to the original starting point, the young face in the memory ......" The mobile phone on the bedside table rang Yu Xian's singing.
As soon as the phone rang, Yu Xian immediately jumped on the bed and picked up the phone.
Sure enough, the caller displayed on the screen was exactly what he was expecting - Li Ling.
"Hey, Sister Ling? Is the schedule for "Those Years" set? Yu Xian took the initiative as soon as he answered the phone, and he couldn't wait to get the answers to his questions.
"Hey, little salted fish, you are so fast, you won't even give me a chance to sell Guanzi?" Li Ling's voice pretended to be angry came from the other end of the phone.
"Haha, that's a must! I'm writing online articles to make a fortune, I shouldn't say anything else, routines or something, few can beat me! ”
"Cut!" Li Ling couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth twice.
"Sister Ling, tell me honestly...... Phew, tell me, I can't wait! Yu Xiansheng was afraid that Li Ling would play sexually, so he deliberately hung his appetite and immediately changed his words.
"You...... Huh! Li Ling sighed with tears and laughter, "Taiwan Province will be released on June 1st, and the mainland side will also come out, and it will be released on July 1st, and it will be released in the summer." ”
