936. Movies are not so simple
Many movies that don’t watch big-selling movies, but in fact, the share that can be obtained by producing is very small.
First of all, the producer, how much investment and how much production cost is, that is, maybe you can do some tricks, but in fact, the gap will not be too big.
For example, a movie costs ten million!
At least, the real investment cost is eight or nine million!
Because, if you go higher, the investor's finances are not decorations.
Some people say that the production cost is 10 million, and the box office is only three times, and you can get the money directly at the box office.
But what about it?
If you really rely on box office to make a profit, triple the box office is definitely not enough.
Because the cost here is not just the production cost.
Promotional and distribution companies, if they are optimistic about movies, they will pay the promotional and distribution funds for the movies, which is also a cost.
And it is often not low.
If you count five million, then the total cost of this movie will reach 15 million, which means that the box office of the movie will cost at least 45 million.
Of course, this refers to the return of money mainly to the box office return of money.
But it depends on the distribution share.
Many Hollywood giants can even 50% of their commissions when publishing movies.
Yes, it's very exaggerating, right? But many small companies can only accept such high share.
So if this is the case, the final box office of 45 million will be calculated based on a 50% box office share. After the theaters settle, it will be returned to the distribution company for 22.5 million.
Then the issuing company must first deduct the cost of promotion and promotion advancement, which is 5 million, and there is also a 50% box office share. The issuing company can take away 16.25 million at once.
What’s left is the share of the producer, which is 6.25 million!
Of course, 50% of the issuance share will definitely kill people, but it is normal to 30%.
But no matter what, it is impossible to make a profit from the box office with three times the box office.
In fact, the distribution cost of the publisher is not that high at all, but because people have the distribution channels, unless you are a top director, no matter how well the movie is sold, it will be a job for the publisher!
Like "Mad Max: The Furious Road", it's a little better. After all, Wang Yifan is not a small character, but the distribution share is at least 10%.
Wang Yifan's pay is also divided into the box office of the movie, so he will be divided at least 20%.
So for Matsumoto Universal and Mina Group, if Wang Yifan continues to direct the sequel, Wang Yifan's salary alone will be able to kill his life.
This is why, they clearly know that if Wang Yifan directs a sequel, the success rate will be higher and the risk will be lower, but they would rather pay a high buyout fee than invite him to continue directing the sequel!
Similarly, for Wang Yifan, he was not interested in continuing to direct the sequel.
It’s not because of the pay issue, the sequel is definitely higher than the first one.
After all, the results have been made.
But the problem is that Wang Yifan dares not say anything else about the sequel to "Mad Max: The Furious Road", but his reputation will definitely be ruined.
The first one was too successful, or rather, too much touted.
Wang Yifan blushed when he heard the big movies, what made a new type of movies and other flattery.
So, will the audience's expectations be high for such movies and sequels? Sure, but the expectations are compared with the first one. When the movie is released, the high expectations will make the first one have a good reputation and the second one have a great backlash.
So, isn’t it nice to take money and leave?
I have to smash my signature.
"Hi, Wang! I'm Mick Minas of Bemon Pictures. Are Wang interested in chatting?"
A white middle-aged man came over and greeted Wang Yifan with a smile.
Bemon Pictures, Wang Yifan naturally knew that the film label of DSN Group, one of the six major Hollywood giants.
dsn Media Group is one of the six major Hollywood giants, with a very strong strength.
dsn Media Group is similar to Disney in its previous life, but it is not as strong as Disney.
Because the development trajectory of the DSN Media Group in this world is very similar to that of Disney in previous lives, they both started with animated movies.
However, Disney in his previous life had a very successful development of live-action movies, but the DSN Media Group in this world was not that strong in live-action movies.
In fact, many Hollywood giants have multiple movie labels, and they like to classify movie labels.
For example, under the dsn Media Group, there is an animation film company, mm Animation, which is the most powerful animation film company in the world.
The main feature is naturally various animated movies.
This is an animation label!
Bimont Pictures is also a film label under dsn media group.
However, the type that Beimon Film Company mainly specializes in action is a commercial production.
dsn Media Group also has brands such as Titan Pictures, Cat Pictures and other brands. Each brand's main business is different.
In fact, dsn Media Group had worked with China's companies earlier, but unfortunately, the co-produced videos were not successful in the end.
In fact, at the beginning, DSN Media Group also tended to cooperate with Huaxin, and they were very interested in the adaptation of the Jenny movie.
However, after market research, the effect was very bad, so dsn Media Group gave up. In fact, the main reason was that the one they cooperated with Huaguo companies the most was not Huaxin Group.
Later, Huaxin also negotiated with DSN Group on "Crazy Max" and "Rampant Road", but among the movies produced by DSN Group, there are few R-level movies, because DSN Group's most advantage is to create family-friendly movies and movies of all ages.
Therefore, in the end, the DSN Group did not participate in "Mad Max: The Road to Furious".
Now, "Mad Max: The Furious Road" has been rampant all the way, and has achieved both reputation and box office success. It is impossible to say that DSN Group does not regret it.
If it is not suitable for the company's development route or the brand, it means it is just an outsider.
As long as they make money projects, how could they give up for this reason?
It’s just because they misunderstood. When you read the script, you can’t see anything at all.
Simply put, this is purely a film that relies on the director's imagination.
Now "Mad Max Furious Road" has become the hottest and most successful movie this summer, and Wang Yifan has also gained fame in North America and even the whole world because of this movie.
Therefore, the dsn group will take the initiative to lean over again.
"Hello, Mike!" Wang Yifan did not resist.
After all, there is nothing to say about business and business, and Wang Yifan would not have the idea of cooperating with the other party just because the DSN Group was not optimistic about it before.
