Fan Zhe is looking forward to playing the beta version of Taiwu Picture Scroll 2 in a week's time, but before that, he still has a work report to hear.

Ye Jiayi approached him and talked about the benefits of the movie "Hell Apartment".

At present, "Hell Apartment" has basically been offline from major theaters, and the total box office is fixed at 380 million yuan.

At present, the domestic film market is already a huge box office that can be compared with North America. All kinds of movies with a box office of two or three billion yuan are frequently released, which was unimaginable a few years ago, let alone a monster with a box office of more than 5 billion yuan like "Wolf Warrior 2".

In this environment, the box office of "Hell Apartment" of 380 million yuan is not very remarkable.

It's just that it can't be counted that way.

Nominally, "Hell Apartment" is just a movie with an investment scale of 20 million, in exchange for nearly 20 times the box office, which is already quite an excellent achievement.

At the very least, it can definitely be considered a success.

“…… The division of box office profits between us and Lotus Leaf Pictures has come to an end, and in the past week, the relevant payments have been received one after another. ”

"After deducting the funds for the theater chain, deducting taxes and fees, and then calculating according to the distribution share ratio between us and Lotus Leaf Pictures, we have recovered about 96 million yuan through the box office."

At the same time, the copyright of derivatives, online on-demand, and TV station broadcast rights were all sold, and the total income reached 50 million yuan. According to the agreement, 20% of the profits in this area belong to Lotus Leaf Pictures, and we can harvest 30 million yuan here. ”

"On the movie "Hell Apartment", our total income in China has reached more than 126 million, which is very generous compared to our investment."

"Of the 126 million profits, 10 percent, or 12.6 million, belong to the Lotus company. The profit we really got was about 114 million. ”

"At the same time, we are currently promoting the release of this work overseas. It is expected to be released on a small scale in North America and Europe, but there should be a relatively large scale in Asia. Our copyrights in Europe and the United States were all sold in the form of buyouts, and we sold for 5 million dollars. In Asia, it operates on a box office share basis, and the film is expected to be released worldwide after the year. ”

This is again tens of millions of yuan in income.

"Overall, on the movie "Hell Apartment", we can probably make more than 150 million profits."

After listening to what Ye Jiayi said, Fan Zhe couldn't stop nodding.

In fact, Wedo Entertainment's investment in the project "Hell Apartment" is only 3 million.

The real rate of return has reached 50 times!

Even according to the nominal investment of 20 million, it is 7.5 times the rate of return.

This is real profiteering!

Fan Zhe is also quite complacent, this is the first movie he directed!

To be able to have such a result, in fact, even he did not expect it.

At the beginning, he started the filming of this movie with the idea of practicing his hands. At that time, he didn't really think much about profits, just tried it, purely practiced. Even in his heart, he was ready to lose money in the end.

As a result, I didn't expect to earn so much.

However, after thinking about it again, Fan Zhe felt that it was quite painful in some things.

"Lotus Leaf Pictures, when our film was released, did it still have a little dirty with us?"

"Hmm."

"That'...... We're so bad. We take risks, make films, distribute them. The publicity cost they invested was not high, and as a result, they cut off more than 100 million of the film's profits! It's so unpleasant......"

This is indeed very unpleasant, and it is also the most uncomfortable place for many companies in the industry that do not have distribution channels.

A lot of money was invested and a lot of effort was expended to make a movie. If it fails, the issuer will not lose much; If it succeeds, the theater is grandpa, the distribution is dad, and in the end, there is not much profit left for the producer.

Large distribution companies, which are the upstream of this industrial chain, are naturally able to exploit producers.

Wedo Entertainment suffers at this point.

At the beginning, if Lotus Leaf Pictures did its best to do a good job in distribution, why was "Hell Apartment" so bleak in the early stage of release? If the box office exploded in the early stage, will the final box office be much higher than now?

No one knows this, but it doesn't prevent Ye Jiayi from thinking so.

In this case, it is really uncomfortable to give so much money to Lotus Leaf Pictures according to the contract.

It was this discomfort that gave her an idea.

"Fan Zhe, I want to buy a distribution company."

Hearing Ye Jiayi's thoughts, Fan Zhe didn't hesitate at all, and directly agreed: "Okay." ”

His idea is very simple, in the future, Dimension Entertainment will inevitably make a lot of movies. In the cultural and entertainment industry, movies are undoubtedly the most influential and profitable category, the top cultural products, and the most important battlefield for 'dimensional entertainment' in the future.

Establish your own distribution channel, and you will not encounter such a thing as being disgusted by the distribution company in the future, and at the same time, the profits generated by the film can be attributed to your own hands as much as possible.

Building a distribution channel from scratch is slow and difficult. The better way is to directly acquire a issuing company, which is more appropriate.

For Fan Zhe to agree so readily, Ye Jiayi was not surprised. She continued: "I already have a goal, Xinmo Media, do you remember this company? ”

"I remember that when Du Zhengde filmed "Shadow War", he invested and produced it for this company."

"They are a company that integrates investment, production and distribution, founded ten years ago, and had good performance at the beginning, but since "Shadow War", a series of failures have seriously affected their capital chain. They have raised funds many times, but they still have not curbed the decadence of the company, and many shareholders have withdrawn their capital. I probably calculated that we could take this opportunity to buy this company. Although they are not very good at making films, the distribution channels are still relatively perfect. ”

"How much will it cost?"

"If it had been acquired four years ago, it would have been at least six billion. Now, their assets have shrunk very seriously, it is said that most of the film copyrights have been sold to them, and the distribution channels have also shrunk, and it is estimated that they may be able to win about 1.5 billion yuan after the acquisition of the full capital. ”

"1.5 billion?" Hearing this number, Fan Zhe raised his eyebrows, "We...... Is there so much money? ”

There are revisions in the previous chapter, "Martial Arts Grandmaster" has been filmed continuously, and it is divided into two parts and launched, thanks to the reminder of [Chocolate Bones], I feel that this is indeed more reliable.
