This 10% concept is completely different from that in China!
Let's put it this way, one is in the sky and the other is underground!
The domestic box office split is after deducting 5% of the film development fund + 3.3% business tax + 50% of the theater share, and then the split box office.
In other words.
The share promised by a domestic film investor is the box office share after deducting a series of surcharges, which is more than 40%.
But Hollywood is different! ! !
The share ratio between the producers and theaters is not fixed like Huaxia!
Rather, it depends on the specific agreement reached by the film company and the theater!
It depends on how strong the producer is!
In Hollywood, there are six major production film and television companies, namely: Warner, Disney, Paramount, 6th Century Fox, Universal and United Artists.
(MGM went bankrupt, and now there are only 6, but I heard that Amazon bought MGM, and the lions made a comeback...)
These six big companies have the supremacy in the American or international film market.
yyds~
No way, who made the family established early and rich and powerful.
And Warner, as one of the world's largest film and TV entertainment production companies, has the absolute right to speak in negotiations with theaters!
Natural strong Buff~
Of course, in terms of historical background, it ranks third, and the first two are Paramount and Universal Pictures.
Although it is slightly different from Disney, which holds the king of Marvel, it is still more than enough to beat a group of younger brothers.
There are two super ace IPs under its banner.
One is DC Comics, and the other is the famous "Harry Potter" series.
At the same time, Warner has also produced a large number of excellent movies, such as: "The Hobbit", "Mad Max 4" and so on...
So much to say, just one meaning.
Warner has absolute bargaining power!
Up to 70% of the film's box office can be split! ! !
(Isn't it incredible? Believe it or not, really, when Disney filmed "Star Wars: Jedi Knight", it was so strong that it wanted to receive 65% of the theater's revenue!)
In other words.
In other words, if the final box office of a movie is 10 billion, then the box office that Warner can get is as high as 7 million!
And promise Jiangbei's 10% share of the box office is 7% of the 10 million! ! !
$7000 million!
Moreover, plus the salary of 2000 million US dollars, this is already a terrifying figure!
If "Batman: The Dark Knight" rakes in 20 billion at the box office, then the box office will be 1.4 million... US dollars!
What about 30 billion?
What about 40 billion?
The point is, this is not counting the overseas box office...
Huo Wenxiyue was shocked.
Looking back at Jiangbei, he was calm and composed.
Nolan smiled happily, but he didn't realize that Jiangbei's share was higher than him and was frustrated.
"Jiang, your dividend is more than mine..."
Rowan continued.
"Not only that, we decided to give you 70% of the clown's copyright income in the movie. It is you who made this role!"
This...
This shocked Jiangbei!
A film that directs Wealth to Freedom?
You know, the grandson of the author who sang the song "Merry Christmas" earns a lot of money every year...
And the image of the clown? !
This involves movie peripherals, derivative products, pan-animation, advertising revenue, image use... This money is countless money!
Just look at Disney.
Every year, he earns a lot of money just by going to court, not to mention the image of a clown?
Warner, you are really full of sincerity!
Huo Wenxi opened his eyes wide in excitement!
Luo Wen smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang, you deserve this. This time we originally planned to hide the shooting of "Batman: The Dark Knight", but unexpectedly, things turned around and caught us off guard... This is thanks to Mr. Jiang, great performance in the audition!"
The blood of this wave of diehard fans is good!
For Warner alone, it saved at least 1 million US dollars in publicity fees!
Not exaggerating at all!
why?
Because in the United States, or in Europe, the promotion fee of a movie is far greater than that in China!
It may even exceed half of the film's investment, and more!
("Super Villain" released in North America that year had a global box office of 3.2 million U.S. dollars, and the production cost was as high as 1.45 million U.S. dollars. What about the promotion fee? 6500 million U.S. dollars!)
This has become commonplace.
Once Jiangbei's audition footage is released, isn't this a natural promotion for Warner's "Batman: The Dark Knight"?
As for Jiang Bei, the leading actor, it's not too much to get paid, right?
In the eyes of capital, Jiangbei is now a walking money-making machine.
Warner's operation is also to keep Jiang Bei, but the meaning is clear: brother, don't go, we have a good salary, come, come, come~ (flicks the handkerchief)
It's not over, there's more.
"Just now, I received a call from the Warner Film Production Department. At present, there are at least 7 theater companies, accounting for nearly 82% of the market share. They want to get the premiere rights of "Batman: The Dark Knight", and... A 90% share of the account was offered...an unprecedentedly high price!"
What the hell!
Nolan opened his eyes wide: "Fxxk!"
Jiang Bei couldn't sit still, his eyes were staring... it was all $$$$!
What does that mean?
In the United States, the first film of a movie is generally counted according to the first week, the second week, the third week, and the fourth week, so as to count the box office.
· · · Flowers · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·??
Some companies are very confident in their film, and they are very domineering when negotiating with the theaters about the first week's box office share.
If, according to 90% of the producer, 10% of the theater will split the bill.
In the second week, it will become: 80% for the producer and 20% for the cinema.
In the third week, it will become: 70% for the producer and 30% for the cinema.
In the fourth week, it will become: 60% for the producer and 40% for the cinema.
In the fifth week, it will become: 50% for the producer and 50% for the cinema.
Until the producers and theaters reach a final agreement on splitting accounts, it will remain stable.
Then again.
The theater is not a fool, so low, who the hell did it?
Hey, there are plenty of people doing it.
There are too many theater companies in the United States, why don’t you do it?Some people do it!
If this movie becomes a big hit, and your family doesn't have the right to show it, fans of the movie must go to other people's houses to watch it.
Is this the reason?
If you don't have confidence in your own movie, but want to get a high box office, and want to maximize profits, is it possible?
Have!
Then let the theaters take the lead from the beginning!Take a chestnut.
a movie.
If, in the first week, 30% of the producer and 70% of the theater will split the bill.
In the second week, it will become: 40% for the producer and 60% for the cinema.
In the third week, it will become: 50% for the producer and 50% for the cinema.
In the fourth week, it will become: 60% for the producer and 30% for the cinema.
In the fifth week, it will become: 70% for the producer and 30% for the cinema.
.. 0 0
No, maximizing profits.
But there are some movies that are not very popular in the early stage, but are very popular in the later stage, so it is a big loss.
This requires a producer with a professional film estimation team!
(The most famous example is Nolan's "Inception". After the film's premiere, the North American box office in the first week was only 6000 million U.S. dollars, but the final global box office reached 8 million U.S. dollars. No. 4 on the next year's box office list...The theaters will confess Nolan as the God of Wealth that year...cover your face.jpg.)
In a word.
Hollywood is a fair place.
As long as you have good actors, good scripts, and good production, you don't have to worry about making money.
Of course, you have to have confidence in your own movies!
And Luo Wen said that the 7 theaters gave 90% of the box office results in the first week, which means they have won market recognition!
Everyone thinks this movie is a bloodbath!
Because... the clown played by Jiang Bei is amazing!
Just imagine, the box office in the first week is 10 billion, 90% of the accounts, 9 million... I am so good...
in other words.
Jiangbei is now the patriarch of the cinema!
If he wanted to say that he didn't want to act anymore, the duck that got the theater line flew away...
Jiang Bei knew these routines so well that he didn't need to think about it at all. Looking at the "Remuneration + Dividend Contract" handed over by his assistant, the system scanned it immediately.
OK, no problem.
With one stroke of the pen, re-sign.
There's no need to push back and forth, to be humble and to be humble, this is what he deserves!
Everything is done.
Luo Wen shook Jiang Bei's hand: "Mr. Jiang, everything has been handled properly. Warner has also formally sued Time Magazine. Now, I just want to go home quietly and sleep in the dark. Then, see you on the set."
"Batman: The Dark Knight" made Rowan, the producer, very anxious.
Not to mention that Nolan didn't sleep well for a few days and nights.
He didn't sleep well either.
Jiang Bei was finally confirmed as the leading actor, and the filming will start in a week's time!
"Thank you, Mr. Rowan."
