Under normal circumstances, a movie, especially a domestic movie, can only make a profit if the box office exceeds three times the cost.

Of course, this statement is still relatively one-sided and inaccurate.

Because this is only calculated from the profits of domestic movie box office share.

But in fact, the revenue of the movie is definitely not just the box office, even in China.

There are also online copyrights, TV copyrights, DVD copyrights, etc.

In this regard, co-production films actually have more channels for profit.

Therefore, it seems that the cost of co-production is higher, but in fact, there is a reason for this.

Because co-production films can gain profits from more channels.

However, the amount of revenue in this area is also linked to the box office.

When Hollywood was at its best, it could even make the box office account for only 30% of the revenue or even lower.

But note that this ratio is based on the existence of a complete distribution channel.

If it is just an independent movie, it will definitely not be able to have such high returns, and the proportion of box office revenue will be greatly increased.

Because other aspects of profits will be greatly reduced, especially for independent film labels, most of the time, the first thing to do is to be severely drawn by the distribution company.

Secondly, the income from all aspects and channels is just a one-time transaction.

This is why independent brands often go bankrupt because of a movie that loses money.

The ability to resist risks is too low.

Giants are different. A movie loses money, and they can slowly cash out and recover part of the costs through long-term profits and offline channels.

Hollywood giants have the largest revenues, and they are often those film libraries. The richer the film library, the higher their stable income.

Even if you lose a few movies, you won’t go bankrupt or something.

At the same time, Hollywood giants control the distribution channels in all aspects, so they usually do platters in the investment of movies.

Even movies with high success rates are the same, which is called diluting risks and sharing benefits.

But what about it?

Many people may not understand. Since they know that movies will make money, why do they still have to share them? Will the giants lack the funds?

Surely not, but why do they still give up their investment share so generously?

In fact, this is the most correct way to do it.

But others can't learn it at all because you invested in their movies, yes, it's a high-quality project.

But what about it?

Investors can share benefits, such as movie box office revenue. Many people may say that Hollywood books, but in fact, they really don’t.

Most Hollywood giants no longer do such things because they have a bad reputation and can no longer invest.

But what about it?

When investing, most foreign investors can only enjoy a small part of the returns.

The share of box office revenue, which is one aspect. Then there are the share of other channels.

The box office is divided into this because it is more transparent, Hollywood giants often don’t do anything.

But in fact, you may make money, and the giants will never lose money, because first of all, they will take out the distribution share first.

Then divide it into proportions.

This is basically the benefit that most investors can share.

Sorry, the remaining interests of various channels may be divided into some sacrificing investors, but the big one is basically the giants.

In other words, this is a typical example of laying eggs by borrowing chickens.

The copyright of the video belongs to the giants, and the same is true for other aspects of copyright. They will do a one-time transaction and sell it directly to their subsidiaries. The price is definitely not very high.

So in fact, it seems that Ali Media has formed an alliance with the Film Company, investing 320 million US dollars, equivalent to 2 billion Chinese coins. The cost of filming "The Tomb of the Explorer Poke Dragon Emperor" is really high.

Because Ali Media is better in China and has almost all channels, but in North America, the Alliance Film and Ali Media is actually very single in terms of channels.

In addition, this cost is almost all invested by Ali Media itself, so in fact, this cost is really very, very high.

Moreover, there are many hidden costs involved, such as Jack Curtis, who is the top director, the pay he originally directed was top-notch.

22 or more.

The blade pay of 20 million US dollars is the basis, and the next 2 is a 20% share. Moreover, this share is likely not a global box office revenue share, but a box office revenue share, plus an omni-channel revenue share.

Then I also have to buy the best-selling book "Explorer Poke" by Ali Media. It can be said that it is impossible to share the profit without paying a part of the profit.

Normally, scripts are not worth a lot of money in Hollywood, but IP, especially novels on the bestseller rankings, are definitely going to share the profits.

Moreover, there is absolutely no shortage of buyers for best-selling books like "The Explorer Poker" and the most suitable IP for adapting into movies. Several major Hollywood giants will definitely join the competition.

It can be said that it is absolutely impossible for Ah Li to win this super bestseller without heavy bleeding.

In addition, Cheng Hu is not very famous in terms of starring roles, but it is difficult for him to get too high profits in such A-level productions. At most, he will get some pay and share the money, so he doesn't have to think about it.

The key is that Steven Lee, yes, Steven Lee, is indeed not comparable to a new star like Tom Jackson, including popularity and box office appeal.

But same goes for it, Steven Lee, maybe he is not as good as Jack Curtis, but his pay will definitely not be low.

And it must be a premium.

Therefore, it seems that "The Tomb of the Explorer Poke Dragon Emperor" costs only US$320 million, but in fact, no matter how high the box office of this movie is, it is more of a worker for Steven Lee and Jack Curtis.

In his previous life, Steven Spielberg, who received the largest share of profits in "Jurassic Park".

There is no way, this is the strength of the top director!

Of course, although Steven Spielberg did get jealous returns in his previous life.

But no one said anything, because they are worth the price.

Moreover, Universal is a giant and has the most complete distribution channel, so Steven Spielberg is indeed very profitable, but Universal actually gains more.

This is the profit that big-money movies can create.

As long as the movies are sold, everything is easy to say.

This is probably why Ali Media is willing to do this.

After all, this is the key battle for them to turn on their influence!

That's why I spared no expense.

Although they talk about the globalization strategy, in fact, even if "The Explorer Poke Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" can be sold well, in fact, what Ali has to rely on is still the domestic market.

Because in North America, Ah Li’s foundation is still too shallow.
