Chapter 174 "Me and My Motherland"
Although the specific account sharing will take half a year to settle, the approximate profit figures are still out, with the box office sharing of at least US$230 million!
With the global TV broadcast copyright, home entertainment can earn at least $150 million...
Let me add that home entertainment includes DVD authorization, Blu-ray discs, etc.;
In addition, the online copyright is estimated to be able to earn US$30 million;
After deducting production and promotion costs, the Great Wall project profits are between US$100 million and US$150 million.
It does not include peripherals such as IP authorization.
IP authorization is the exclusive income of Mengxi Media, and the other items are divided into proportion with investors...
Wanda's investment ratio is US$15 million, which will earn US$25 million in dividends.
Make $10 million!
Wanda makes money by investing in a movie for the first time!
So, hold Mengxi Media's thigh as much as possible...
"Nine Tails" is a derivative movie of the painted skin series, with a market evaluation of 800 to 1.2 billion, then one billion guaranteed!
Of course it’s good to make money, but if you lose money, you can win Mengxi’s friendship - after all, it’s still unclear whether Chen Mengxi will share the cake of “Great Wall 2”.
...
1 billion guaranteed...
According to the current accounting ratio, Mengxi Media has accounted for more than 390 million in box office accounting alone!
The production cost of "Nine Tails" is 130 million...
Make more than 250 million!
At that moment, Chen Mengxi was moved!
Of course he was moved by this kind of transaction.
However, guarantee is a violation of market laws.
Moreover, later generations also proved that about 80% of the guarantee was proved by facts, and in the end they ended in unpleasant cooperation.
Usually, if the guaranteed party loses, most of them will not fulfill the guaranteed contract in the end and the money will not be paid...
Why did it become popular in later generations?
More and more out-of-industry capital, especially various funds or financial products, have entered. If they do not have projects, they can only place bets...
Later, before some movies were released, everyone was busy dividing their money.
In the past, investors were more responsible and pressured after investing in money, and the guaranteed issuance became a premium.
Since the investment, this film was originally sold for 100 million yuan, but as the film was sold, it turned into 300 million yuan, and when it was sold, it was sold for 600 million yuan.
As more and more people participate, it becomes a joint-stock project cooperation.
Such joint-stock project cooperation has led to a movie without any responsible person, and I am busy spending money before the movie is released.
This method is not good for the video!
With the help of capital, some movies have been securitized to make money outside the circle, and some actors’ pay has increased unreasonably. This has broken the industry’s rules.
Chen Mengxi knew about this, and he was very resistant!
Once such a thing is opened, it will be very difficult - if it is not released, you can share the money, who will refuse?
So, he shook his head: "The Painted Skin Series is a movie where Mengxi Media makes a fortune. We are unlikely to find outsiders to cooperate with..."
"...I just suggested it casually..." Ye Qiao quickly changed the topic: "Half a month later, "Tai Chi Hero" will premiere. At that time, you must come!"
"Let's talk about it then..."
...
Next to him, Xu Zheng was chatting with Huang Zhonglei...
Chen Mengxi walked over and said, "What are you talking about?"
"When talking about "Fuchun Mountain Residence", the movie is almost 200 million!"
"...Normal! After all, there are Liu Dehua and Yang Xiaomi... and I watched the screening schedule, and I queued more than 8,000 games every day!"
"Don't you think it's sucking?"
Chen Mengxi smiled: "I think the current film market is a film company that is capable of setting up schedules. If you want to market it properly, you can make money by lying down!"
"...But they were unlucky to encounter "The Great Wall", otherwise, the box office of over 300 million would not be a problem!"
Huang Zhonglei quickly learned from the scriptures: "So, do you think schedule is more important than the movie itself?"
"This is the case at this stage, but good schedules will definitely be fierce. Under the fierce competition, good movies will definitely have the advantage... So, practice your internal skills more..." After looking at Huang Zhonglei, Chen Mengxi asked with a puzzled look: "Why can Wang Changtian think of finding Su Youpeng to make a movie, and then "Left Ear" is a big hit. I remember Su Youpeng should be an artist under Huayi Brothers, right?"
Young man, don’t slap people in the face, and don’t reveal their shortcomings!
Leave room for others and also leaves convenience for yourself...
Huang Zhonglei was certainly angry, but he still smiled and said, "Who could have thought that Su Youpeng was quite capable?"
"Ha ha…"
"What's wrong? I'm so happy to laugh?"
When it was said that Cao Cao was here, Wang Changtian happened to come over...
"I'm talking about "Left Ear" and Su Youpeng!"
"Why did you think of finding Su Youpeng?"
Wang Changtian explained: "We first collaborated with Buffy Zhao, and then I thought of Su Youpeng. I think it is a good way for celebrities to transform into directors! In addition to the halo of celebrities themselves and a strong audience base, more importantly, they often have strong connections, which is the greatest capital for actors to be directors. When they are actors, they have accumulated a lot of connections in the circle. After becoming directors, if they have appeal and connections, they will naturally have friends from all walks of life to protect them."
"We are just a small profit, unlike Mengxi. "The Great Wall" made at least one billion, right?"
Chen Mengxi quickly shook his head: "How can there be so many? Global distribution requires global publicity. It is the first one, and our publicity cost is close to 100 million US dollars!"
"Yes, I can prove that the Great Wall alone spent nearly $40 million on advertising, posters, and trailers in North America!"
Ye Tao also came over...
"Great spirit!"
"I have a big courage. I and Wang Changtian's investment method are obviously very different from Wanda. Wanda refers to the country, stimulates capital, and is as angry as a tiger. When you encounter something delicious, you can eat it and then slowly digest it. But like Mengxi Media and Light Media, we can only try it first, and then take the second and third bites when it is delicious. If it is not delicious, then spit it out. Therefore, most of the companies we invest in are small companies... making small fuss..."
Wang Changtian was speechless: "Are you still having a small fuss?"
"You see, what is our biggest investment since we went public?"
“Purchase potatoes?”
"That was acquired by me personally, and I spent less than 3 billion yuan to buy potatoes. It's not like Wanda, direct hormones and IAMC. I heard that I am now negotiating with Nordic Cinema Group and intending to win it?"
Ye Tuo is a little embarrassed...
In the past two years, Wanda has indeed bought various things. Recently, it has acquired British yacht manufacturers, European theater operators, and has to take over Legendary Films...
It's really awe-inspiring like a tiger!
Quickly change the topic: "I heard them say that Mengxi will be the main theme commercial film during this National Day holiday?"
"Yes! "My Motherland and Me", the five directors each directed a short story... Xu Zheng is here, just ask him!"
Huang Zhonglei finally interrupted: "Is the main theme?"
"Well, through a few short stories, we will show China's pride."
"The main theme...it's not easy to sell!"
Chapter completed!
