Chapter 19 Bad movies can make so much money
"Director Zhang, this is the latest box office data for our movie."
The assistant with a slender waist and long legs clicked on the phone.
Zhang Yange looked at today's box office statistics.
So far, the total box office of "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" is 248 million, and the single-day box office has dropped to more than 30 million.
This is the normal data of most movies, in general, the box office peak is a few days before the release of the movie, and after this time period passes, the box office of the movie will decline to a certain extent.
Now this box office data, Zhang Yange is already very satisfied.
The cost of "Qingming Riverside Map" is about 100 million, and judging from the current data, making money is inevitable, which is nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less.
But...
What is the situation of the movie "Sunny Riverside", how can there be a single-day box office of more than 10 million.
Isn't there something wrong?
This movie first used fraud to deceive the audience into going to the movie, and the single-day box office at that time was only a few million.
Later, after he revealed that this was a fraudulent movie, the box office rose instead of falling, from millions to tens of millions.
Up to now, the single-day box office of "The Riverside Scene on the Sunny Day" is still more than 10 million, and the box office of this movie is about to exceed 100 million, and it may even reach 200 million or 300 million.
Why, why can a bad movie have such a high box office.
Zhang Yange couldn't figure it out.
And I heard that the total cost of this movie is only 200,000.
In this wave, the movie "Sunny Riverside" made a profit of at least tens of millions, and even hundreds of millions, and the rate of return reached hundreds of times.
He worked hard to check the information, find actors, shoot seriously, publicize the rules and regulations, and waste the boss's hard work, but he only made tens of millions.
Xu Nan, this guy, casually shoots a bad movie with a similar name, and he earns no less than him, and may even earn more than him.
Zhang Yange was sour.
Seeing Xu Nan, a liar, making money, was even more uncomfortable than losing money.
"Ahem... What is the progress of suing Xu Nan, the director, for plagiarism, and when will the court be held. ”
Zhang Yange suddenly asked.
The assistant was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "We have submitted the materials, and the court is still reviewing them." ”
"Director Zhang, as you know, it takes a certain amount of time from the prosecution to the trial, and there are many procedures to go through."
Zhang Yange frowned slightly: "Urge, go away, speed up a little, and strive to hold the court as soon as possible." ”
The assistant hurriedly nodded: "Okay, Director Zhang, I'll urge it immediately." ”
With that, the assistant was leaving.
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Yange stopped the assistant and showed an unfathomable smile.
"By the way, let them set the amount of compensation a little higher."
The assistant instantly understood: "Okay, I'll ask them to increase the amount of compensation." ”
Zhang Yange nodded with satisfaction.
Xu Nan, haven't you made a lot of money this time?
But don't forget, your movie is a plagiarized movie, no matter how much money you make, it will be mine in the end.
......
Peak Film and Television Office Building.
That is, downstairs in the rental house, a small car came.
The car door opened, and an elite man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out.
Jiang Yu looked at his surroundings, then took out his mobile phone and confirmed again that he had made no mistake.
Building C 301 is the location of Summit Film and Television Company.
I'm used to staying in the tall CBD, and I suddenly came to a residential building, and I was really not used to it.
But for the sake of business, these can be overcome.
Jiang Yu soon came to the location of Summit Film and Television and rang the doorbell.
"Ding Dong..."
"Ding Dong..."
"Here we go."
A middle-aged man opened the door.
Jiang Yu recognized him, a full-time photographer of Summit Film and Television, and it is said that he has a good relationship with his boss Xu Nan.
"Ginger always, welcome, welcome, please come in."
Liu Yang welcomed Jiang Yu into the room very warmly.
Jiang Yu was not polite, walked directly into the room, and found that this was an ordinary rental house, with three bedrooms and one living room, and the place facing the door was a three-seat sofa.
The sofa is a little darker in color, and the top edge is covered with dust.
At first glance, this is a rental house rented by ordinary people, and only the photographic equipment stacked in the corner can prove that it is a film and television company.
Xu Nan walked out of the room and said hello: "Hello Mr. Jiang, I am Xu Nan, the owner of Dingfeng Film and Television Company." ”
Jiang Yu hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands: "Hello Mr. Xu." ”
The two exchanged a few words, and Jiang Yu got straight to the point.
"Mr. Xu, if you are willing to put "Sunny Riverside Picture" on our penguin video, we are willing to pay a buyout price of 8 million."
"Eight million." Xu Nan groaned.
Jiang Yu continued: "Mr. Xu, this price is not low, according to our company's calculations, the box office limit of your movie is about 180 million, and it is almost impossible to reach 200 million. ”
"The buyout price of eight million is already very generous."
Xu Nan nodded.
He knew that the price offered by the penguins was very good.
For a movie with a box office of over 100 million, the price of the online broadcast right is about 5 million.
Of course, this is just the regular price, the producer, director, actors, and even word-of-mouth of the film will affect the price of the movie's online broadcast rights.
The box office trend of "The Riverside Scene on the Sunny Day" is good, but this is word-of-mouth.
It's hard to put into words.
Penguin Video is willing to give a buyout price of 8 million, which is indeed very good.
If it weren't for the good popularity of this movie, people might not be willing to give the price of 8 million.
"Ding Dong..."
"Ding Dong..."
Just as Xu Nan was thinking about it, the doorbell rang again.
Liu Yang hurriedly went over to open the door and welcomed a middle-aged man in a suit in.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Jiang Yupi smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you are here too." ”
Mr. Li also showed a polite smile: "Mr. Jiang, you are here, then I will definitely come." ”
Mr. Li's full name is Li Guan, and he is the manager of Kiwi Video, and he also wants the right to broadcast "The Riverside on the River".
"Mr. Xu, I don't care what the conditions of Penguin Video are, I'll just say my conditions."
"The buyout price is eight million, and if you share the price, within six months, one click will be two."
Li Guan directly prescribed his own conditions.
Buying the right to broadcast movies online is a famous brand, so there is no need to hide it.
Xu Nan smiled.
Interestingly, the buyout price of Penguin Video and Kiwi Video is actually the same.
It seems that although the competition between these video platforms is fierce on the surface, there is still a tacit understanding in some things.
Seeing Xu Nan smiling, Jiang Yu suddenly felt bad and hurriedly said.
"We can also provide a sharing model for Penguin Video, but we count member clicks, and one member clicks for two dollars."
Xu Nan asked two managers representing the video platform to sit down and deliver fragrant tea.
Then, he smiled and said, "Both, to be honest, I'm not very satisfied with the price." ”
Jiang Yu and Li Guan glanced at each other, and after making eye contact, Li Guan spoke.
"This price is already very sincere."
Jiang Yu also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Mr. Xu, this movie in your company has no well-known stars, and there is a suspicion of copycats, this price is already the limit." ”
Xu Nan smiled: "I know, but what if, I am willing to release the movie from the theater in advance." ”
