Chapter 366 Lay down and make money!

Ding Cheng laughed out loud. He heard that the two of them also invested in a few small-budget films, helped them read the scripts, and even recommended several actors. The box office was good and they made a lot of money.

Especially Wuyou, he left himself to shoot two more works, the results were mediocre, and later he simply became an investor, followed by Xu Wenzheng and Yu Fatty in mixed distribution and operation, and now he is also a well-known little boss.

Fatty Yu filled himself with wine, knowing that Ding Cheng only drank drinks, he raised his glass and said, "Thanks to your old man, Bona finally got a license plate, I toast you three glasses!"

After drinking three cups, Ding Cheng laughed and cursed: "It's okay to drink less, let's just have these three cups today and eat more vegetables!"

"Brother still loves me!" Fatty Yu laughed and said, "In the past few years, the quota for importing foreign language films was only [-], and China Film and Huaxia each accounted for half of the country. member."

"Now, brother, you are tough, and Bona also has ten imported shares. It is a good thing that you can make money while sitting, who is not happy?"

Ding Cheng nodded. This is also one of the benefits given to him by the higher-ups. Bona knows the basics and trusts them after so many years of cooperation.

Excluding the share of myself and Bona, there is still 30.00% left, which can be reserved for friends to invest, such as Xu Guangtou, Liu Tianwang, Fatty Wang and other big players who have the ability to distribute channels.

The Eight Immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers,
The money we earn together.

Now there are fewer and fewer clubs with stupid people and rich money. The first wave of coal bosses, the second wave of landowners, and the third wave of Internet. Now that the tide has receded and the audience is getting smarter, the safest investment is to play together.

If you have money, you will get money, if you have channels, if you have connections, if you have contacts, if you can promote more, plus the star studio...

Is the title of a movie getting longer and longer?

There are more than a dozen producers that can't be counted!
Wuyou said depressedly: "It's a pity that only the Phantom Rider is directly bought out, and the veterans and city hunters must share. Clappers and Frenchmen are not stupid!"

There is no other way, the veteran is behind CJ, who is definitely not short of money.

City Hunter is the box office champion, Philip must be optimistic about the Chinese market, is it stupid to buy out?
Only India is poor.

The difference between the approval sheet and the sub-account sheet is not only in the form of introduction, but also in the magnitude of production.In the past, the account sharing used to be the six major Hollywood film companies, with big themes, big investments, famous actors, and special effects.

Most of the sources of buy-out films are independent film studios in small countries with insufficient funds. Of course, the themes are more diverse, and many of them have political purposes and are released as promotional materials.

In the early years, 50 US dollars was directly packaged with ten approved films, which was the same as the ones picked up.

Taxes and fees are deducted from the box office, and theaters and theaters take about 40%, China Film or China Film as the main distributor takes 25%, and the final buyout party can get about 30% as an assisting distribution.

As long as one can sell 2000 million yuan, 30% will be returned after the account is divided, and it will be a steady profit.

The success of The Expendables changed the approval of the film from a blue ocean to a red ocean, and many players followed suit, only to realize that the risks far outweigh the visible benefits.The release indicators are limited, and more and more projects are in hand.

Now this business has changed from a buyer's market to a seller's market. Many film source companies are no longer satisfied with being bought out, but participate in the share through private agreements.

《爱乐之城》2.3亿元《刺客信条》1.5亿元《一条狗的使命》2亿元《你的名字》5.6亿元《血战钢锯岭》4.2亿元……

"On May 22st, there are also four films released at the same time, "The Breadwinner", "Confessions [-] Years Later", "Uncle Drew", "Fate Stay Night: Cup of Heaven"..."

"In the end, the whole army was wiped out, and no one made any money!"

"Although there are no written regulations, the number of approved films and sub-accounted films in China has always been maintained at 1:1." Fatty Yu analyzed: "Since 16, this tacit understanding has been gradually broken, and the box office has skyrocketed. After the capital bubble was squeezed out, the rivers and lakes also began to reshuffle."

"Of course, it's still dominated by Hollywood, mainly in English, followed by island animation, Indian, and Korean crimes, and then other minor language films. Last year, fifty or sixty movies were quite satisfactory, and there were no blockbusters."

Ding Cheng put down his chopsticks and looked at the information compiled by Yao Zai. Conan's [-] million and Totoro's [-] million are two dark horses.

Live-action movies in the island country have been in a downturn. Even the award-winning "Stoplifters" only made 9600 million, which is already the highest box office record.

Fatty Yu suggested: "Last year, India imported ten films, eight of which were completely dead, and only two of Uncle Mi made money. When he arrives, let's create a big publicity scene together."

Ding Cheng nodded. In fact, most of Uncle Mi's works are also divided, but this time the Phantom Rider is not the investor, and because of his friendship, he will not participate in the buyout.

In fact, regardless of the size of the film in any country, as long as the volume is large enough, it should try to divide the account if the account allocation index allows. The difficulty lies in how to make the two giants recognize the influence and volume of the film?
Of course, now because of his own reasons, Bona has the right to choose independently. Although ten are not too many, they are also a symbol of status and have extraordinary significance. No wonder Fatty Yu's face is full of red.

In particular, I shoot up to four movies a year, even if I import all of them, there is still a lot of share left, and there is too much room for operation.

Fatty Yu looked at Ding Cheng, and didn't say a lot of things clearly. In fact, in the past two months, 37 approved films have been directly sent back by the film bureau with four words: not allowed to be imported!
It is the cusp of the storm, and no one can figure out the intention of the above?
It can be said that only Ding Cheng's gold-lettered signboard guarantees harvest in drought and flood, which can be said to take everything, and basically has a green light all the way.

Seeing Fatty Yu's eager eyes, Ding Cheng laughed and said, "I don't know the details, but there is one big principle that remains the same."

"Small cost, positive energy, big feelings!"

"Very suitable for domestic audiences understand?"

"Received!" Fatty Yu slapped his thigh and said understandingly: "Sure!"

Ding Cheng shook his head seeing the two fat guys as if they had found a treasure. In fact, the approval of the film is to use the investment of the Internet University to compete for the box office of a theater movie.

It seems simple, but it has very high barriers and professionalism, and not everyone can handle it with ease.I used to think that the risks in the film approval industry were controllable, so so much capital poured in to get films.

In fact, it is a very complicated process. From the judgment of the introduction, the application for review, the determination of the schedule, to the announcement and release in just one month, including the anti-piracy in advance and the control of overseas word-of-mouth, they all face great challenges.

So it is easy to take the first step, as long as you pay more, but it is difficult to continue.

The greater risk comes from geopolitical relations. As early as when Sino-Japanese relations became rigid, island films almost disappeared on the big screen. It was not until "Doraemon Walk with Me" in 15 that they began to recover.

Last year, 10 Indian films were introduced, but the year before last there was only one "Let's Wrestle!"Dad", obviously affected by the incident on the border between the two countries.

For the introduction of batches of films, the relatively reasonable price in the market should be 5%-10% of the production cost.

"Now the most taboo in the circle is to sell Netflix's copyright in advance!"
