Chapter 131: God Teammates
February 14th.
"Wow Wow Robot: Zhiyong Rescue", two weeks after its release.
The latest box office data yields: 5.812 billion.
surpassed the No. 1 "War Dragon 2", won the first place in the box office list, and set a new record for the box office of country Z.
This achievement has sparked heated discussions in the film and television circle of country Z, and netizens who love this movie have shouted "powerful", "wow wow mighty", and "I have a share of the box office contribution", and the response was very enthusiastic.
It has even attracted the attention and reports of foreign media.
The release cycle of a blockbuster is generally about a month, and even two months or three months for the longest.
"Wow Wow Robot: Wisdom and Courage Rescue" has only been released for half a month.
As for its final box office, various experts have commented and speculated.
"The box office in the first week accounts for about 40% of a movie, and the box office in two weeks can account for 70%, and there is not much potential to be tapped later, but if we assume that "Wow Wow" has 30% of the potential left to be tapped, then the final box office of "Wow Wow" may be 8.3 billion...... A terrifying number. ”
"8.3 billion? Impossible! This is equivalent to about 300 million viewers, entering the theater to watch, but the population coverage rate of the Z country cinema line is not even 50%, most of the rural areas, townships, there are no theaters at all, a movie to make more than 50% of the movie-watching population into the theater, it is almost impossible, and the follow-up box office is only 1 billion at most. ”
"Who says it can't be? The average ticket price of "Wow Wow Robot" is 38 yuan a piece, 8.3 billion divided by 38, but it is just that 218 million people can go into the theater to watch, that is, one of every three people who are qualified to enter the theater will buy a ticket, and the box office can reach 8.3 billion, not that it can't be done! ”
"Regardless of whether it can be done or not, the total box office of "Wow Wow Robot" in the mainland will exceed 6.5 billion, creating a new box office record that is difficult to achieve, which is almost a sure thing."
"A rookie director who has just graduated from college and is less than 24 years old, a technology company that has only been established for more than a year, the two have joined forces to create an amazing box office record, which makes people have to sigh: This era is the era of young people after all."
……
After breaking the record at the box office.
Chen Jin called Shi Xiaotao and asked a few questions.
"Xiao Tao, how many billions do you think this movie can reach in the end?"
"Uh~"
Shi Xiaotao thought for a while and said: "I don't think it's too much of a problem with 7 billion, I don't dare to think about it any more, and, because this movie is good, recently, many film distribution agencies from many countries have come to us to talk about and cooperate, and want to introduce this movie, including country M, Japan, cold country, Southeast Asia, Europe, Xiangjiang, Australian window, treasure island...... More than 50 countries or regions want to introduce it, and we are stepping up the production of overseas dubbed versions. ”
"If it can be released on a large scale overseas and win 3 billion overseas box office, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"So, wouldn't the global box office reach 10 billion?"
"Yes, "Wow Wow Robot" will not only become the first domestic film to break 1 billion dollars at the box office, but also the first Z country film in the world film market to break 1 billion dollars...... We have comprehensively surpassed "War Dragon 2" and brought the Z country movie to a new height. ”
Shi Xiaotao said in a calm tone, her heart was also very calm, although these achievements made her feel very proud, but more of it was pressure, feeling the weight of the burden on her shoulders, and carrying the expectations of countless Chinese people.
When she is in her twenties, she is not allowed to lie on the credit book and eat the old book, she can only continue to create greater brilliance.
Her next work, even if the box office is less than 3 billion, may be seen as a failure.
With the first halo in the country in the directing industry on her head, she is not allowed to hand over an unqualified answer sheet.
……
"10 billion at the total box office?"
Chen Jin took a breath, he didn't expect that making movies would be so profitable.
So how much money can he share in the 10 billion box office?
Shi Xiaotao calculated it for him.
The first is the mainland box office, based on the current box office of 5.8 billion, the first step is to pay 5% of the special fund for the film industry to the special fund office, plus 3.3% business tax.
After the total box office of the second step minus the taxes payable in the first step, the net box office obtained is minus 600 million, and if it is greater than 3, then 1% of the distribution agency fee will be paid.
After the first two steps are completed, the remaining net box office, theaters + theaters will take 57%, and the producer and distributor will take 43%.
Shi Xiaotao did not have a distribution agency in his hands, so he directly took out 100 million yuan to buy out and completed the publicity and distribution of the movie.
After all the reductions are subtracted, the box office revenue belonging to the producer is 2.164 billion.
Among them, Chen Jin took 1.082 billion (50% share) + 58 million (1% total box office share), which is equal to 1.14 billion.
The remaining 1 billion is the remuneration of Shi Xiaotao and other investors.
Chen Jin calculated in his heart and said: "Xiao Tao, you said that you invested a total of 300 million in this movie, according to this distribution formula, if the box office of "Wow Wow" is less than 2 billion, will you not only not make money, but also lose a lot?" ”
"Well, yes."
Shi Xiaotao nodded: "It will probably lose 20 million, but the profit of a movie is not only the box office in the cinema, it can also develop a lot of peripheral products and collect copyright royalties from third parties; Put on the shelves of the film and television library of smart TVs, let the audience pay for on-demand, etc...... In the end, it can be achieved to protect the capital. ”
"So...... As long as the box office of "Wow Wow" is not less than 2 billion, it will be considered a success. ”
In addition, the overseas market is a big supplement, and it can also bring certain benefits.
If the box office is 2 billion, not only will you not lose money, but you can also make a little profit.
But now that the box office of "Wow Wow" is running for 6 billion, the resources invested by Shi Xiaotao and her parents can be exchanged for at least three times the return.
It can be said that the bittersweet is coming.
As for the next step, Chen Jin asked: "What do you plan to arrange next, and what movie are you going to make next?" ”
"I haven't thought about it yet, I plan to take a good rest for a month first, and then think about it after resting."
"In this way, you don't have to think about it, your next movie will be "Wow Wow Robot 2"!" Chen Jin said suddenly.
"Ah~! Mr. Chen, the sequel to "Wow Wow", are you still looking for me to cooperate? ”
Shi Xiaotao was surprised and delighted, her inner plan was actually to make a sequel to "Wow Wow Robot", but she didn't dare to open this mouth, there are too many famous directors who are eyeing the IP of "Wow Wow", and there are definitely people who go to Mr. Chen to talk about cooperation in private, Shi Xiaotao feels that with her background and connections, the big IP of "Wow Wow", she is very likely to be unable to keep it.
But she didn't dare to directly ask for the production rights of the sequel to "Wow Wow", she was afraid that in Mr. Chen's heart, she would leave the impression of being greedy and insufficient, after all, a movie that can bring tens of billions of benefits, can it be begged?
can only find a suitable time to test Mr. Chen's attitude.
didn't expect Mr. Chen to take the initiative to speak and directly give her the production rights of the second part.
"I don't like to change partners from one place to another, and I'm more at ease with you."
"Moreover, the sequel to "Wow Wow 2", I hope you start construction as soon as possible, it is best to start construction in March and complete it by the end of the year, and it will be released in time for next year's Chinese New Year!"
"You have a lot of work to do and you're pressed for time!"
"And in "Wow Wow 2", a very important role will be added, a robot character that is almost as important as Wow Wow, and it will occupy quite a lot of scenes! Moreover, it will also be the second robot product to be launched by Xinghai Technology Company! It will also be available as soon as the end of the year. ”
"So, I hope you finish this movie before Xinghai Technology releases this product."
"Finally, the old rule, give you anime character materials + post-optimization once! You just say can you God teammates once and complete this cooperation? ”
Chen Jin asked.
"Mr. Chen, there is no problem at all!"
Shi Xiaotao immediately assured, his face extremely excited.
In this cooperation, she doesn't actually need to show the level of a "god teammate", she is slightly smarter than a pig, and she is not so pitiful.
was taken by Xinghai Technology and the mysterious god team, if the box office of the movie "Wow Wow Robot 2" does not reach 5 billion, she Shi Xiaotao should commit suicide by caesarean section, and she is 100% a "pig teammate".
So this cooperation is stable!
