Without any suspense, Greek Wedding became the only winner of the summer file after 2002.

The first day was 52 million, and the total box office exceeded 110 million!

44 million on Sunday, and the total box office reached 150 million.

After the end of the second week, the box office for the entire week was 78 million—the brewing movie-watching madness was greatly reduced under the pressure of the first two days of expression. Wan, officially surpassed The Bourne, becoming the third of the year, second only to Spider-Man and The Clone Crisis.

The total investment in production, distribution, and publicity, in addition to the 15 million publicized in the early stage of production, is less than 5 million in the later stage, which is less than 20 million in total.

Even if calculated based on the current box office, according to the agreement between the theater chain and the producer - the previous month was 8:2, that is to say, after the official release of the box office of more than 150 million, dd and share 80% of it , although according to the distribution practice, movies with an abnormal box office curve usually compensate the loser. But the North American box office net income of the two independent studios is destined to exceed 100 million!

This made all the companies and people in the industry drool.

Of the 100 million, only about one-third, that is, more than 30 million, and the remaining 60 to 70 million are all owned by DD Pictures. The outside world does not know the composition of DD's shares, but according to the news, the main shareholders Just Daniel and his lucky friend. The shares have been adjusted many times. At the beginning, David invested in capital and started the project. This is crucial, without this money, the project may have flown from Daniel's hands, as with Google, if Daniel hadn't missed out on Google, it could have started to bear fruit now. Later, as Daniel began to inject money into the film with salary and capital, this shareholding ratio is believed to have undergone a major change.

earlier this year. The news of the establishment of the Daniel Film Investment Department by dd Films is not strict, and the division of labor within dd Films is also very clear. Daniel is obviously the leader, and David is the operator. The theme of dd films will be the production and distribution of independent films. Daniel's investment business department is responsible for investing in some projects that Daniel participated in or personally optimistic about-the volume may be very large.

So, the media based on the assessment. It is guessed that Daniel's investment business department should all belong to Daniel himself, and the project needs to pay part of the service fee to the dd headquarters. And the share ratio of the two parties in the DD headquarters is likely to be around 4:6, that is, Daniel will take 60% and David will get 40%. According to this ratio, so far, David can make more than 25 million profits in this project— —Almost equal to his big prize, and now he still has a promising DD department, as well as Greek Wedding which doesn't know where the box office will go.

This should be since the new century. A very good investment in Hollywood.

But what they didn't know was that Daniel bought his investment shares from David. It is replaced by cash and shares of dd headquarters. The current shareholding composition of the DD headquarters is a very standard 5:5, half of which is Daniel, who has the right to make decisions on important matters, and David who has the remaining half, who is responsible for daily operations and decisions.

but. The project profit of Greek Wedding will not be divided according to 5:5, but will be placed in the Greek Wedding publishing team-dd, Daniel Investment Department, mb, Shanying. Including these four together. Because Daniel knew that even according to the previous life. Greek Wedding also has a North American box office of more than 200 million. If such a large amount of money is only swallowed by DD, it will cause unnecessary stimulation to other cooperative companies. Although the decision-making power of these companies is in his hands, but a father or mother needs to treat several children equally, it is impossible for Daniel to really give the proceeds of the project to dd according to the original attribution.

The interest group he created will need closer cooperation in the coming time to achieve more goals.

The current one or two billion is not that important.

In the team share, the general planner and general distribution are Daniel Investment Department, accounting for 40%; DD is the film producer, accounting for 3.50%, Shanying Company and mb each share 10%, and the remaining 5% is used for the team Personal bonuses, employee salaries, daily expenses, etc. - the last item is very large, in terms of volume, it is in the tens of millions, that is to say, these bigwigs here will have millions of incomes.

It has to be said that Daniel's handwriting is luxurious.

However, a lot of money buys horse bones. These people are his team. Enough encouragement and the pursuit of a common cause will play an indelible role in the long-term and effective operation of a team.

Moreover, according to this share, Daniel's investment department gets 40%, and half of the 3.50% of dd headquarters is also his. As for Shanying Company, Daniel invested in Shanying at the beginning, and later established an investment company and hired Raymond. After this part of the assets was transferred from Shanying, the shares of Shanying were also adjusted in the process, and continued Under the premise of capital injection, Daniel took a step back, Fred scored 15 points, and the rest of the management team shared 5 points. These 20 points must be bound to Shanying. If they leave Shanying, and cannot With Daniel's approval, these shares will no longer be held by them, and even if they are allowed to handle these shares, Daniel has priority! The remaining 80% is held by Daniel's investment company.

As for mb, Daniel owns 70%.

Therefore, in general, Daniel can share 72.5% of the income from Greek Wedding. Of course, except for the 40% of the investment department, the rest are scattered in various companies for operation.

In general, it was unfair to David to propose this plan, and of course it was in Daniel's heart.

Because he knew that even without this wave of operations, Greek Wedding would still have a potential of more than 200 million.

But in the eyes of everyone, including David, this achievement is entirely due to Daniel's genius. This is especially true for those who think that they have gotten a big deal for nothing.

But obviously, it is the worst one to be cheated. Originally, they will get more than 200 million box office investment income, but now they can only get 33%, unless the North American box office rises to more than 600 million or even 700 million achievements. It was the same as before-even Daniel didn't dare to think about it.

...

The internal accounting has not yet started, and the theater chain accounts for the screenings have been turned back one after another, and the official release of the account distribution is much slower-this also involves subsidies for the theaters, because it is clear that it will fall to 6000 in the third week. 10,000, and then spend two weeks around 40 million. These parts are divided by 8:2, and the next box office margin will not be so large, and the next month is also divided according to 7.2:2.8. The situation of theaters is not good. Not much better.

Of course, this kind of trajectory must continue to discuss with the theaters, but it is impossible to sell much profit.

Theaters can only pay for their own prediction mistakes.

Generally, if the distributor is relatively strong, the share will be 9:1 in the first week, and it will drop by 10% from the next two weeks. In this way, after deducting 10% of the fixed expenses in the total box office, the theater can get 35% of the remaining 90%. «out. It is quite normal for the issuer to get 55%.

But according to the trajectory of Greek Wedding, the publisher will get at least 70%.

In any case, this time, dd Pictures won all the battles against, theaters, and other films of the same period, which cannot be changed.

...

With the box office figures of Greek Wedding rising steadily, breaking 100 million, breaking 200 million, surpassing The Bourne, breaking 300 million, surpassing Star Wars Prequel: Crisis of the Clones, breaking 400 million... Finally, the journey stopped at the ear of Spider-Man.

Daniel's treatment on the crew of Fake God has also definitely changed.

From a big-name starring role, to a part-time investor making a fortune, then a guessing billionaire, and finally the undisputed Hollywood power man!

Because the top executives of Universal Pictures have never visited the studios of the films produced by them so frequently, and everyone can see their attitude. The producer's attitude towards big stars may be very gentle, and even show a little flattery because of fighting for them-but the basis of all attitudes is visible condescension. But now, whether it's Donna, Meyer, or Schneider, everyone's attitude has some unusual sense of equality in it.

This is power!

The composition of this power is very complicated, including Daniel's popularity and fame, box office appeal, and the inertia of never being defeated-this is the power that belongs to the category of a superstar. It also includes DD Films, an independent film studio that has just produced a 400 million-level masterpiece in North America, with a profit of more than 100 million yuan-this is the power that belongs to the field of studios. As for the close cooperative relationship with Shanying Company, which is becoming more and more important, and the new social network kingdom mb, no one is a fool. After this wave, Daniel's holding shares in both Shanying and mb will not be revealed, but It is very clear that the three companies have an alliance of interests-this is the power brought by wealth and influence across industries.

All this constitutes Universal Pictures' equal attitude towards Daniel.

In the field of studios, in Hollywood, and now DD Films, ten bases can’t compare to Universal, but all the tangible and intangible wealth and power around Daniel are already comparable to Universal. This is a well-formed interest group—a dynamic, sharp one.

A box office miracle of Greek Wedding, although Daniel quietly watched all the changes that were manipulated by him in the crew of Fake God, it actually became a milestone in the transformation of his status in Hollywood.

It took three years to finally create all of this, the corner of the country, the trump card first appeared, and this is also a new beginning. (to be continued)

ps: I’m dead, I’m especially worried that everyone thinks that all the money should belong to the protagonist, so I’m very nervous about writing, but really, things can’t be done by one person, and the benefits are not exclusive to one person. I am already very unconscionable in writing this. . fall
