There are also many ways to share in the film and television industry, and there is a huge difference between box office sharing and profit sharing.

In fact, in the earliest days, everyone played profit sharing.

It's just that this matter was smashed by Hollywood later.

In order to sign sky-high actors at the cheapest price, the bosses of black-hearted film and television companies often agree to give profit sharing, and when the film is released and sells well, they will directly make the account a loss.

It's easy.

For example, Yisheng Media now has a cinema chain and publicity and distribution under his hands, &bsp;&bsp; he can transfer a large amount of profits to the theater chain and publicity, and then easily make a film loss.

This matter was later learned by some film and television companies in China - anyway, it is easier to learn bad than to learn.

So later, many big names will directly ask for a share of the box office.

I don't care how much profit you make, anyway, I'm based on the box office.

There are also high and low box office scores, and the most awesome ones such as Cameron's level dare to ask for 20 to 25 percent of the box office.

What is the concept of twenty-five percent?

Counting the publicity and distribution, film special funds, and related taxes and fees, the general producer can only get about 35% of the box office, &bsp;&bsp; It depends on the situation, because the theater chain and the publicity and distribution commission can be discussed.

And if a director takes another 25% of the box office, and the remaining 8 to 10% is the producer, it is equivalent to the company working for your director.

But Hollywood is really acceptable, because people have a complete system, such as not only domestic sales, but also domestic sales, and the overseas box office is generally not divided or counted separately, and Cameron's overseas box office is particularly awesome.

In addition, there are merchandise, and there are sponsorships.

Box office revenue, just like ticket revenue in a ghost town, is only a part of the revenue composition, not even the main body.

The most typical example is Disney's Car Story, with a box office of more than 200 million, more than 100 million around, and high profits from key peripherals. Generally, one-third of the box office is its own income, and the profit of the surrounding area can be as high as more than 60%.

A figure that costs more than ten yuan can easily be sold for hundreds, &bsp;&bsp;Sixty percent of the profit has been deducted channel taxes and so on.

So after the car story was filmed, it was filmed one and two, and it went all the way.

On the other hand, another Disney cartoon has a box office of seven or eight billion, and it sells more than the Auto Story, but the surrounding income is only 200 million, and the result is that it is directly stranded.

Make less money!

So Disney makes money, not at the box office but in toys, and even the theme park does not make money from tickets, but in that dedicated Disney merchandise street.

Of course, the box office is not unimportant, after all, the box office represents the base, and what is amplified is other revenues, so Hollywood can talk about box office sharing for this kind of big director.

However, there is no such a sound income structure in China, there is very little income in the surrounding areas, and it is impossible to sell it for a few dollars when going abroad - the cultural differences are too great, and the offline income is also average.

So box office revenue is the main income, and five percent of the box office is not a small number.

Those who can get more than five points in China are generally top stars.

Zhang Damu is really a tiger who can't die, with a salary of 8 million and a box office of 5%, Li Xianyun is also speechless.

I invested 1 billion, and if I sold 300 million, and just recouped the capital, I have to give you 1.5 billion, &bsp;&bsp; and then a net loss of 1.5 billion.

No wonder you opened your mouth for 200 million, and I will help you get everything.

You can see that everyone is a peer, do you still discount me?

Well, from his usual style, &bsp;&bsp; is estimated to be a really good price in his mind.

Zhang Damu can't figure it out, &bsp;&bsp;Li Xianyun wonders if he can find another big director?

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoxiao gave him a suggestion: "Otherwise, you can just dig the team." ”

Well?

Li Xianyun was surprised.

Li Xiaoxiao said, "Zhang Damu's excellence is not based on him alone, he has a high-quality team. But most of all the glory and profits are on Zhang Damu. Zhang Damu can make a film and rest for three years, but others cannot. They have followed Zhang Damu for so many years, and they understand many of Zhang Damu's ideas, and they also implement them. And you, I know you! You're definitely not one to hand over a film to the director and just ask, are you? Zhang Damu also knows this, don't look at your politeness when you were in the god-killing crew, but Zhang Damu told me that the more people who don't usually put on the boss's shelf, the more they actually attach importance to power. It is precisely because he is in control of everything that he looks generous. The reason why he asked you this price is because he doesn't want to be too restrained by you. ”

Li Xianyun thought about it and understood, "So that's the case, that's right." He's right, if he makes a film for me, he will definitely be restrained by me. After all, when I was in the god-killing crew, I had a big difference of opinion with him. ”

When I was in the god-killing crew, Li Xianyun was a typical example of your film, you are in charge, and I have my reservations.

Not for it, not against it.

At that time, he didn't support or object, but now Zhang Damu came to make a film for him, but he couldn't do this.

So Li Xianyun really wants to agree, it is estimated that Zhang Damou's proviso is that you don't appear on my set.

Li Xiaoxiao said: "So just find his team." His team still has to look for work everywhere, they have Zhang Damu's experience, and at the same time they are not the boss. You just have to say what you think, and they will execute it right away. The key price is still cheap, and the entire core team may be able to get it for one or two million, and you don't have to distribute any profits. If you feel busy, you can even use his executive director, their standard is good, I don't think it's as good as you...... people are poor. ”

Hearing this, Li Xianyun smiled, "It doesn't matter if you say it's not worse than me." I do have a lot of room for improvement on the road of film. Hmm, okay, can you get in touch with me? ”

He has the contact information of some of his team members, but he doesn't have all of them - industry taboos, and it's not good to go too far.

In fact, Li Xianyun has a technical department, and he doesn't need so many core teams, but the core team includes art directors and other artistic talents, which is the weak point of the technical department, and secondly, the technical department will be independent in the future, and it also needs talents.

Maybe we can dig them up!

The company has become bigger, and it really needs the support of high-end talents, and it can't always be cheap.

Li Xiaoxiao said directly, "Yes, you give me such a big face, how can I help you." ”

"It doesn't affect your performance in bed." Li Xianyun said.

Li Xiaoxiao laughed, "Okay, my mother will come over next month to send you that thousands of miles, right?" ”

"Hmm. If the price is cheap, I can have one of them co-direct me and give him most of the actual work. Li Xianyun added.

"It's cheaper to work for people, you're too calculating." Li Xiaoxiao laughed again: "Sure enough, your boss's growth is higher than that of the director!" ”

"But it's also an opportunity, everyone has a dream of directing." Li Xianyun is meaningful.

"That's right!"

A few days later, Li Xiaoxiao gave him an answer.

The other party accepted it.

Li Xiaoxiao found him a person called Chen Zili, originally Zhang Damu's director of photography, and later became an executive director, forty-two years old this year, has been in this industry for 20 years, has rich experience, in fact, he has directed some movies himself, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to operate blockbusters, and he has not been able to make his name.

The cinematographer is more famous than the director.

Li Xianyun specially searched for his movies, and sure enough, it was very similar to Zhang Damu's style, but unfortunately it was a small production, and it was difficult for a small production to give full play to Zhang Damu's artistic level.

Film and television art is also an art that burns money, and there is no art without money.

Therefore, Chen Zili failed to become a famous director because of this, but he is still a well-known number one person in the circle, and he is definitely not a small role.

This time I finally have the opportunity to direct a film with an investment of more than one billion, and Chen Zili is also very excited.

His demands were simple, four million plus one percent of the box office revenue, but he had to be given the most autonomy.

Li Xianyun didn't know how much of his autonomy was, so he specially called him over.

So the two sides discussed from the script to the storyboard.

Disagreements are bound to exist, the key is only in recognition.

In fact, the biggest difference between Li Xianyun and Chen Zili is about the creative concept, the two of them discussed and even debated for half a month on the content of the script, the creation method of the film, the aesthetic style, humanistic feelings, and the details of the plot in Yisheng Media, until they finally reached a unified opinion.

When the consensus is reached, everything else is fine.

Li Xianyun only modified one thing, that is, it must be profit sharing, but at the same time, he also promised to lock in the cost when it comes up, so that the profit is not easy to manipulate.

After agreeing to a bunch of other conditions, Chen Zili finally agreed to revise it to 2 percent of the profit share.

The artistic creation was debated for a full fifteen days, and the cooperation method was completed in only half a day, which basically met Chen Zili's requirements, and the proviso was that Zhang Damou's other team cores were all brought over to me.
