Chapter 20: Preview Screening
"Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli appeared at the rehearsal scene of the Spring Festival Gala, the little couple held hands, intimate, and their love was as usual."
"It is reported that Qi Yuan Gu Hongli's chorus repertoire for this Spring Festival Gala is "I Wish People a Long Time".
"The MV of Qi Yuan's new album has been filmed and is expected to be released after the year."
"The name of Qi Yuan's new album is exposed, three words "Fantesi"!"
"The rehearsal of this Spring Festival Gala mainly adjusted the singing and dancing programs, and it is still doubtful whether Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli programs can appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the end."
The pair of Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli is now in this circle, which can be described as an extremely high-profile existence.
Needless to say, Gu Hongli's popularity is needless to say, in the past few years since her debut, three hit albums, two hit TV series, and a movie with a box office of 1.2 billion have basically established her status in the same year.
Qi Yuan quickly became popular in the second half of 2020, starting from "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter", his songs are highly sung.
followed by the explosion of "The Silent Truth", which made Qi Yuan's screenwriting level and acting skills also gain great recognition.
Qi Yuan and Gu Hongli sang the song twice on stage, during which the director of the Spring Festival Gala mainly adjusted the dance, lighting, and camera movement.
After the rehearsal, Gu Hongli stayed in Shangjing, and she still had the last announcement of the year on Shangjing TV.
Qi Yuan returned to the Western Capital and returned to the company, and a supervisor under Ren Xia had been waiting for more than half an hour.
For the release of "The Silent Truth", Qi Yuan contacted the distribution company under Gao Wei Capital.
At present, Yuancheng Film and Television does not distribute this business segment, and it cannot do it.
Yu Caihong brought coffee to Qi Yuan, Ren Xia, and Zhou Hao, and went out obediently, bringing the door by the way.
On the weekend, he held the information and spoke: "So far, counting us, there are a total of 7 films announced to be released during the Spring Festival this year, including Tianhao's claim to invest 500 million in "Aliens Coming to Earth", the trailer special effects are very cool, this is the biggest hit this year, the wolf eye app predicts, the box office is 3 billion or more." ”
"The second is "Chitose City" produced by New Moon Entertainment and Yida Pictures, a costume blockbuster, the actor and actress are pressing, the war scene is very grand, one of the same big hits, the box office forecast is also 3 billion +."
"Then there is "Love of Sea Fish" with an investment of 180 million yuan in the whole game, and this drama also specially bought the boss's "Big Fish" as a promotional track."
"The other three films are ......"
After the weekend was finished, he looked at Qi Yuan with a worried face.
The opponent is too strong, and the Spring Festival stall plate is so big, although the box office of the Spring Festival stall broke 10 billion last year.
But I'm afraid that "Aliens Descend to Earth" and "Chitose City" will swallow most of the box office.
How much box office can "Crazy Stone", a play without a well-known actor, snatch from the mouths of these box office monsters?
The director of the Ren Xia family is called Zhang Cheng, he has been doing distribution for many years, and he is familiar with it.
He looked at Qi Yuan and said, "Boss Qi, let me tell you about a plan that our side is more inclined to." ”
"Your family's drama, in fact, we are quite optimistic, and everyone knows the strength of director Liu Shang, the only gap with other blockbusters in the same schedule may be investment and actor fame."
"So we have a guaranteed distribution plan here, with a box office of 500 million guaranteed. Within the box office of 500 million, the distribution share is 6.5%, 500 million to 1.5 billion, the distribution share is 12.7%, and the part exceeding 1.5 billion is 8.2% of the excess part. ”
For a movie, Qi Yuan, as the producer, can generally get 43% of the net box office account, and 57% for theaters and theaters.
The total box office of a movie, after deducting 5% of the national film special fund and 3% of the value-added tax, the remaining 92% is divided between the producer and the theater chain.
Take a movie with a total box office of 1 billion to calculate.
Cinema revenue: 1 billion×92% ×57%.
Producer income: 1 billion×92% ×43%.
The income of the distributor is the ratio of the income of the producer × the distribution of the distributor.
Under normal circumstances, if the distributor is more optimistic about a movie, it will sign a guaranteed sharing contract with the producer of the film, and as long as the box office eventually exceeds the guaranteed amount, then the distributor's income will be huge.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the cost of a movie is less than 33% of the total box office, it will not lose.
The total cost of "Crazy Stone" is 35 million, which is much higher than the cost of this movie in the previous life.
But compared with other blockbusters in the Spring Festival file, the cost of this movie still seems that the movie itself may be a little shoddy.
But as long as the box office of this drama exceeds 100 million, Qi Yuan will basically not lose.
Therefore, Zhang Cheng's 500 million guarantee is already quite optimistic about the drama "Crazy Stone".
But in this play, Qi Yuan has high hopes.
Therefore, he rejected Zhang Cheng's guaranteed issuance contract.
There is no need to guarantee the minimum amount, and Zhang Cheng's share ratio of the issuer is set at 8.9% according to the regular issuance.
Therefore, in "Crazy Stone", Yuan Cheng's final income will be: 92% × 43% of the total box office × (1-8.9%)× ≈ 36% of the total box office.
The release of "Crazy Stone" began in full swing.
This includes but is not limited to copying films, applying for film keys, sending films to theaters, doing activities in cinemas across the country, doing publicity, and setting advertising spaces.
……
The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.
Qi Yuan and Liu Shang led the crew to run several popular programs for publicity.
On Weibo, Qi Yuan also contacted many friends to help publicize.
Gu Hongli: "The movie written by my husband, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone must watch it!" Super pretty! (Lovely)"
Huang Jie: "My student's movie (Crazy Stone Poster), everyone supports it!" ”
Gu Siji: "I heard that it is more suitable to watch "Crazy Stone" with the person you like during the Chinese New Year!! ”
Hu Caiwei: "I heard that Supreme Treasure doesn't play sticks and remakes movies?" Everyone went to the theater on the first day of the Lunar New Year to support "Crazy Stone"! ”
He Chong: "How crazy is "Crazy Stone"? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone will know when they go to the cinema! ”
Shangjing, Chinese New Year's Eve.
Qi Yuan led the creators to a theater in Yida and opened the preview screening of "Crazy Stone".
The participants are mainly filmmakers, distributors, and theaters.
The main purpose of this preview screening is to show the theater side the quality of the film, hoping that when they are officially released, they will be able to schedule more films for "Crazy Stone".
Among those invited were the general managers of the top 20 cinema chains in the country.
In the dark movie theater, Gu Hongli sat beside Qi Yuan, holding Qi Yuan's hand.
She could feel the sweat overflowing from Qi Yuan's palms.
This is the second time Gu Hongli has watched this movie, but he still laughed and burst into tears.
Everyone's laughter kept coming from behind him, and Gu Hongli knew that everyone still recognized the quality of this play.
I just don't know what will happen at the box office.
