In fact, many people want to know how much Dunhuang has earned in this summer file.

Peers want to use this to evaluate the investment value of 3D animation, or evaluate the strength of Dunhuang; And for some media, it is purely to make readers eat melons more deliciously.

Fortune Weekly Editorial Office.

It's a business magazine that's on par with Forbes across the Pacific, and is known for its wealth rankings, including the "World Celebrity Income Rankings."

The list was released at the beginning of the year, but it wasn't really until the end of the previous year or the beginning of next year, but in fact, they kept an eye on the people on the list, especially the key ones.

No, as soon as the curtain came down on the summer file of multiple targets to "participate in the war", the editorial department began to conduct a new round of data statistics.

Among them, as one of the big winners of the summer file, Wang Wei can't ignore it.

"Wang Wei is estimated to be 'on' the list this year!"

An editor in charge of counting Wang Wei's data suddenly raised his head and said something to the side.

An editor next to him also raised his head and said indifferently: "Old Han, aren't you talking nonsense?" He was on the list last year, so what's so strange about being on the list this year? ”

Editor Lao Han laughed twice and said, "What I'm saying is that he is probably going to be at the top of the list!" ”

There was a moment of silence in the newsroom, and the other editors looked up.

How much did Wang Wei rank in the "World Celebrity Income List" last year? Anyway, it's twenty away.

- This was once considered the biggest mistake in the previous ranking, greatly underestimating Wang Wei's annual income.

However, it will not change from "underestimated" to "overestimated" all at once, and jump to the top position.

An editor squinted his eyes and said, "Old Han, this is our annual income list, not the asset list." ”

Someone answered: "Lao Wu, even if it is on the list of assets and wealth, he can be on the list." ”

Lao Wu continued to squint, nodded and said, "It's right to be on the list, but it's impossible to be at the top of the list." ”

Editor Lao Han smiled: "Don't say it, his assets can't reach the top of the list; But with annual income, there is really a good chance of being at the top of the list. Dunhuang's achievements this year are obvious to all. ”

"The company's revenue goes to the company." Editor Lao Wu seems to have said a nonsense.

Everyone else understands what he means - the company's revenue is of course money, but many times it will be invested in reproduction or something, so on the list, the company's income will not be counted as personal income.

Lao Han shook his head and said, "It's enough to just watch his personal movie achievements." ”

"Isn't that a left-handed to a right-handed?" Editor Lao Wu muttered quietly.

Lao Han smiled again, and he didn't bother to refute it.

Lao Wu didn't continue.

Because he also knows that this is actually very common.

For example, Dunhuang's investment in making films is a corporate act, while Wang Wei's role as a producer or director is a personal act.

In other words, it is only natural for him to ask for the producer/director's salary, share, etc.

Don't you see Luo Jianzhou doing the same? He is the young owner of Tang Yu Media, but as a director, he will not take a penny less than the remuneration he should get.

It's just that Wang Wei has an absolute controlling stake in Dunhuang, which looks like "eating and taking", which is a bit dazzling.

But editor Lao Han doesn't care, the more dazzling it is, the more attention it gets.

Of course, the premise is that the data is real – or at least close to it.

After all, as a third-party organization, they do not have the ability to conduct a detailed investigation of everyone, and many times can only make some simple statistics based on public data.

Explicit assets are good, real estate such as houses, stocks, shares, and other clear information do not require much effort.

And for "floating wealth" such as income, the information is not so transparent.

This is also the reason why many celebrities are not on the list - not because they are not qualified, but because their information is difficult to be counted, or because of their sensitive identities, the media dare not count.

But it is clear that Wang Wei is not among them.

Therefore, the editors in the same office were also interested, and they helped Lao Han calculate on the side-

"First of all, the box office share of "Charlotte's Troubles", 1.4 billion in China + 600 million overseas, what is the proportion of Wang Wei's overseas box office share as a producer?"

"I don't know, it's just a good domestic box office, it's said to be 6 points, that's 84 million?"

Not only did Lao Han's eyelids jump, but the eyelids of other editors also jumped.

Although many first-line directors and gold medal producers can earn tens of millions of salaries for a single film, they ...... This is just the first one!

"And what about the various revenue shares? For example, copyright sales and DVD sales dividends? ”

Lao Han thought for a while and said: "The data on the sale of TV broadcast rights has not been announced, but according to the popularity of "Charlotte", it will not be less than 200 million; DVD sales do, so far the sales volume has exceeded 5 million, and the sales volume has steadily exceeded 100 million. ”

"I think Lao Han, your estimate is low, forget it, let's calculate it according to this number first, how many points will he take in the later income share?"

"It's said to be 5 points."

"That's 15 million, it's worth 100 million."

Lao Wu also added in and said: "Then the next is the blockbuster "The Silence of the Lambs", 1.3 billion in China + 1.8 billion overseas, this does not need to be estimated, the industry has spread it all over - Wang Wei can get 170 million just on the box office share of this movie!" ”

"Shhh...... It's more than twice as much as Charlotte. ”

"After all, it's a producer + director's share, which is normal. In fact, many people have said that if it weren't for the restrictive level, with the momentum of "Lamb", the global box office would definitely be more than that. ”

"Pull it down, if it weren't for the restricted-level theme, it wouldn't have made such a big move in the world, obediently, in the end, more than twenty-five murderers were arrested because of this movie......

"Don't go too far, continue to count the later divisions of "The Lamb". Well, it won't be lower than "Charlotte", even if it's only a share of 20 million, I'll take a look...... 300 million in total? Editor Lao Han Yu took a breath.

"The dividends of these two movies must go up, there are still many months left this year, which is enough for him to get another dividend."

"I'll talk about it later, it's the hottest "Toy Story", with a domestic box office of 750 million + overseas 1 billion, and he, as a producer, will definitely not be less than 50 million ......"

"Damn, why is Old Han Ling becoming more and more timid?"

“……”

Probably subconsciously felt that the final figure was too exaggerated, so the more he estimated, the more cautious he became.

Old Han smiled bitterly.

Some people also said indifferently: "It's almost, the box office is not the point at all, and the derivative sharing of this cartoon is the main thing." ”

The others nodded.

The real value of the film industry is not how much profit the film itself can generate, but how many opportunities it will provide for companies to cooperate with other fields -

These include TV products, theme parks, consumer goods, DVDs, books, computer games, and more, all of which reduce costs and risks, while increasing revenue.

Toy Story shows this to the fullest.

Lao Han looked down at the collected information and said: "Dunhuang did not disclose the specific amount of its income from derivatives, but analysts speculate that the sales of related goods in China will reach 1.5 billion this year based on the historical performance of its licensing partners and other animation works." ”

In North America, local media reported that the total sales of its related derivatives exceeded $100 million in the summer alone; In Europe, its peripheral toys are said to have 'dominated the toy market this summer', and in Latin America it is said to have achieved more than expected sales ......"

"So, although a lot of data is estimated, Wang Wei only pays sales dividends on the periphery, and I said that I think it will not be lower than the box office share, so no one should have an opinion, right?"

Not really.

Someone silently calculated, "That's 400 million?" ”

"Hmm......" Lao Han thought of the TV broadcast rights and DVD sales share that had not yet been calculated, and his teeth were a little sore.

Again, he had carefully estimated it.

Moreover, will there be no movie produced by Wang Wei in Dunhuang this year?

Editor Lao Wu Youyou said: "Don't forget, there is also a "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Dunhuang, does Wang Wei have any dividends in it?" ”

Someone couldn't help but exclaim: "No matter which list he is on, he is rich this year!" ”

Lao Han also bared his teeth and said: "So, when I summarize at the end of the year, if I find that he has earned one billion a year, I am not surprised at all......"

The number of one billion makes everyone's collective teeth sore.

- To say, they are in the editorial department, what astronomical wealth have not been seen? One billion is just a number for them.

However, considering Wang Wei's age in his early twenties, and making money in a year that they couldn't earn in their lifetime, everyone felt that they had lived to a dog.

"Well, there are still quite a few young people on the list this year. For example, Shen Zhenyi, who earns at least hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and Luo Jianzhou, who has just exceeded one billion at the box office, and the director is divided into at least tens of millions...... "Lao Han is determined."

"In such a comparison, someone's ability to make money is simply desperate!"

I don't know who jumped out of the sentence.

"yes, that's a desperate gap!"

After a rough estimate, it was a sigh of unison!

……

"My money-making skills really need to be improved!"

After the first account settlement of "Toy Story", Wang Wei saw that the balance in his account was only nine figures, and he sighed with heartfelt emotion.

To be honest, a producer like him, who has never missed a beat and is in power, takes a share of the box office according to the industry's highest 20% ratio, which is not too much.

But his share ratio is not higher than 10%, and the peripheral share is often a net profit share - if he was not the boss of Dunhuang, Comrade Wang estimated that he would have used some "financial means" a long time ago, and it was not impossible to make a "loss-making explosion".

Therefore, his personal income could have been even more amazing, but he was too kind to bear to "draw blood" from Dunhuang.

What? You ask him how much he earns now?

Well, Wang Wei himself doesn't know.

Not in the mortal, but really don't know.

- Several films have different share ratios, and they are all settled in installments, plus taxes or something, except for his team of accountants, no one can say exactly how much his income is.

Wang Wei only knows one thing, and now he has "only" more than 300 million cash in his account, and the peripheral dividends of "Toy Story" have not yet come down.

——Thanks to the high expectations for the peripheral sales of this work, Dunhuang has already made complete planning and design guidance for its peripheral development when the film is still in the production period, and has completed the authorized production, so the peripheral sales are completely synchronized with the popularity of the film.

As a result, the licensing and sale of peripheral derivatives has become the most profitable business related to "Toy Story".

How much can you earn?

Anyway, in the company's internal financial statements, Wang Wei saw that the box office revenue of the animated film was enough to cover all the costs - including production costs, publicity costs, and high shares for him and the production team.

Then, the peripheral income is almost pure earning.

The company's internal forecast for the global sales of its peripheral derivatives this year has fallen at a high level of 3 billion yuan!

Dunhuang will get a "small part" of it - 600 million starts.

Of course, predictions are not necessarily accurate; In fact, it doesn't seem accurate now—

Some of the other major ticket warehouses are a little worse than expected, such as the Southeast Asian market; Some are a little better than expected, such as the European market; But the response was largely expected.

Only Latin America has become a windfall.

"Toy Story" grossed 250 million yuan in Latin America, making it China Entertainment's highest-grossing animated film in Latin America.

The popularity of the movie has led to a huge increase in sales of goods, so Latin America has become the only market where the goods are out of stock.

There must be a reason for the unexpected joy, and Dunhuang is ready to spend a little more effort to figure it out, so as to develop this potential market in the future.

Of course, the result now is that relying on a "Toy Story" to support all the new projects of the animation studio is not only true, but even more than enough.

And another result is that Wang Wei just sighed that he "caught less", and he turned around and had a headache-

If he doesn't do anything, when all this year's dividends are in his account, he can't figure out that the number in his account can really become ten figures.

The problem is that money staying in the account will not be a cub, not to mention, with the tax policy of the rich in the country, the huge amount of cash lying still will only contribute to the tax.

At this time, Wang Wei was speechless and found that his spending skills needed to be improved more than making money.

Because Dunhuang has formed a relatively benign flow of funds, there is no need for him to "bring capital into the group"; The previous gold-swallowing beast Weibo technology is still a gold-swallowing beast, but with the introduction of external investors, he can't say that he will inject capital......

As for spending, uh, he really couldn't think of a posture to use to spend nine or even ten figures.

For a while, Wang Wei just wanted to look up at the sky at forty-five degrees-

never thought that he would be troubled one day because he couldn't spend the money!

This is outrageous!

At the beginning of each month, I was planning, I wanted the salted fish to turn over; At the end of every month, with tears in my eyes, this salted fish is not saved~~~
