Genius remembers for a second and provides you with wonderful novel reading.
As soon as the New Year's Day holiday passed, Xiangjiang's movie scene ushered in an earthquake.
The owner of the Golden Princess Theatre, Lei Juekun, officially announced that its Golden Princess Theatre will cancel the guarantee fee from now on, and will adopt a method of sharing with the film producer to release the movie.
As soon as the news came out, all the film companies and filmmakers were immediately in an uproar.
Xiangjiang ’s film fees have been learned from the United States and have been in practice for decades. Among the owners of the cinema, it has long been entrenched.
The bottom fee is a guarantee for the cinema owner. No matter whether your movie is good or not, I will keep it up to date.
But for the film company, it is a huge burden.
Especially for small film companies, many times their production costs are calculated, and they are still not much more than the bottom fee.
As a result, many movies were made, but because of insufficient guarantee fees, they could only be released in remote rural movie theaters to earn income.
In fact, this kind of charging the bottom fee is not a good thing for some independent theaters.
This is because although they are protected from droughts and floods, if the film is not shown and their theaters are empty, it will be even more wasteful.
This situation has caused the cinema to keep its own food and clothing, but it is impossible to make money and make big money.
The United States has already begun to implement the system of dividing theaters and film companies, but it has not been implemented in Xiangjiang.
The reason is that the theater owners want to get more income, but they are not willing to give up their current interests, for fear that the change will be worse than before.
This paradox of wanting to eat and afraid of getting burned is actually what most ordinary people think.
In fact, it is not just ordinary people. Even a hero like Lei Juekun took a long time to consider and did a lot of work before he dared to make such a decision.
On the day after Lei Juekun announced the cancellation of the final fee, Jiabao Film Company announced that their latest film, the film "Young Master Wei" co-starred by Hong Jun, Yuan Biao and Zeng Zhiwei, a screenwriter written by Yin Jun "Prestige" will be released on the Golden Princess Theatre three days later.
Ok.
Hong Jinbao, Yuan Bin, and Zeng Zhiwei must be superstars 20 years later, but they are still not enough. The superstars should be like Brother Xu and Cheng Long.
But people like to use this for publicity, and indeed they are very famous, naturally attracting a lot of eyeballs.
Zhong Fa told Yin Jun that this time the boss Lei paid a big price and gave Hong Jinbao 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and there were some discounts on the share. Hong Jinbao decided to get the Golden Princess to be released.
Hong Jinbaoguang was the guarantee for the script of "The Young Master", which cost 1 million Hong Kong dollars, manual remuneration, etc. Together, the filming cost about 800,000, and the overall cost has exceeded 1.8 million.
There are a total of 16 theaters in the Golden Princess Theater Line. Among them, the four Lei bosses are very luxurious and big names, which is not worse than Jiahelai.
However, the reason for Hong Jinbao's release of the Golden Princess this time is definitely not as simple as 1 million yuan of money.
Hong Jinbao, you say he is smart, it is indeed very smart.
From Jiahe's current attitude, he has seen that Jiahe's most popular star is Cheng Long, not him.
Even the Xu family brothers are in front of him.
Hong Jinbao never thinks he is much worse than others, especially after Yin Jun gave him two movies, so that he keeps rising, he feels that he has the ability to become the top star of Xiangjiang.
However, the fact is that Jiahe ’s resources do not fall on him. He ranked third, which proves that he ca n’t get the most no matter whether it is the schedule or the financial support. difference.
The sudden emergence of the Golden Princess theater line here is an opportunity for Hong Jinbao.
The Golden Princess cinema does not have their own film company, they can only rely on other people's movies to dominate the market, and they are the first to rely on the past. When Cheng Long and the Xu family brothers can't switch files, they must be regarded as Golden Princess. number one.
But there are 17 movie theaters in the Golden Princess Theater. Once they fully support a person, are they worried that their performance is not good enough?
Besides, you and your brother have a good relationship with Yin Jun. You can get at least one script in a year, which already has the biggest basic reliance. With Yin Jun ’s script, I went to find 10 homes. The independent theater is released online, earning two or three million is the same as playing!
If the luck is better, Yin Jun ’s script is awesome, and the Golden Princess theater line has broken out again, and the copyright of the foreign port can still be sold well. Maybe a movie can earn 10 million, then it ’s really made!
Once Hong Jinbao can earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in a movie, which movie theater in the whole Xiangjiang won't welcome him?
Even if the Golden Princess cinema line is not working, even if Golden Harvest does not welcome him, then there is the Shao movie theater line that wants to make money, and other small cinema lines!
With so many ideas, Hong Jinbao seemed to be adventurous to put the new film on the Golden Princess Theater online.
And three days later, on Thursday, January 10, the performance of "Young Master Weiwei" also proved that Hong Jinbao's ideas were correct.
With the full support and publicity of the Golden Princess Theater, this urban movie with easy, funny and fierce fighting was released together with 17 movie theaters. The box office of the first day was as high as 1.08 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking his own "Owl" The box office record of 1.01 million with Dumbo.
Then the box office was 1.02 million the next day, the box office was 1.05 million on Saturday, the box office was 1.1 million on Sunday, and the box office was 4.25 million in the first four days of the week, easily breaking the record of four days of box office!
According to the sharing agreement, the Golden Princess Theater earned 20.25 million Hong Kong dollars this week, which made Lei Juekun happy, and the pressure behind the owners of the participating theaters was also exhausted. Instead, it was for Lei Juekun. Praise and worship!
The following week, the ravely acclaimed "Young Master Weiwei" once again received 4.8 million, and the 9 million mark was broken in less than two weeks!
Taking into account that Cheng Long ’s "Laughing Fist" only broke the 9 million mark in 12 days, and now "Young Master Wei Wei" broke the 9 million box office record in 11 days, and only 17 theaters were released, better than "Laugh" There are 13 fewer boxing moves, so it has once again set a new box office record.
Of course, the box office explosion of "Young Master Weiwei" is also related to the movie ticket price skyrocketing by 9% again since January 1st this year, reaching 76 yuan.
If it keeps the same fare as last year, then its income is actually less than "Funny Trick".
But the audience can ignore these, they just cheered their favorite movie to get a very high box office, it is likely to break the long-term box office record of Cheng Long's "Laughing Fist" at nearly 13 million.
Regardless of the fare, the media wrote articles about the dispute between Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, and the dispute between Golden Princess and Golden Harvest. For a while, these movie theater lines and celebrities did not fight themselves, and the media first helped them.
...
Wireless tvb headquarters, general manager's office.
As for the Shaw film industry, Shao Yifu has given full authority to Fang Yihua to take care of it, and he only focuses on the main part.
Today, Fang Yihua came to ask whether Shaw Films would cancel the bottom guarantee fee.
With the great profit of the Golden Princess theater line in "Young Master Weiwei", the owners of the Shao's theater line who joined the theater are also a bit unsteady.
Shaw's theater line basically only shows its own movies, and then some small independent film companies can also release movies, but few can make money.
In general, the owners of these theaters joined the theater, just to the point of not being full and starving.
Even if it used to be, it was a feeling of sitting on the ground and collecting rents. It was not bothersome. Anyway, there was a lot of income in a year, enough to eat and drink.
But everything is afraid of a comparison. In the past, everyone was similar, then it was nothing. But now that they see the hot and spicy people in the Golden Princess theater line, they are wondering about it. When can we be like them?
For this reason, they all came to Fang Yihua. Fang Yihua couldn't eat any more, so they came to ask the old man's opinion.
"Huh, these people are brainless!" Shao Yifu snorted coldly, "Where's the success of the Golden Princess theater? It's not their sharing system at all, it's that they were introduced at the same time when they used the sharing system. It ’s a movie that Yin Jun and Hong Jinbao have collaborated! With the launch of such a big-potential movie, coupled with Lei Juekun ’s spare no effort, of course, you can make money! Do you try to take a casually made film? They still Divided? You can't even earn electricity! "
I have to say that Shao Yifu deserves to be the one who has made a lifetime movie, and he can see the key point at a glance.
Lei Juekun also relied on "Young Master Weiwei" to gain fame, and then those theaters and insisted on doing share with him!
And those small and medium-sized film companies will also think that "Young Master Weiwei" can earn so much, I may also be able to, so a lot of them went to the Golden Princess theater line.
It ’s a good thing to have more movies, but if it ’s all bad movies, where are you looking for profits? It's not as good as the previous era of flat fee!
"Then we ..." Fang Yihua asked.
"Wait!"
Shao Yifu said lightly, "It's not the right time. When Xiangjiang Film Company is more and more prosperous, we can also open to more companies. But now our own self-produced and self-produced movies are enough to be released. Why? Want to give more money to those theater owners? "
"Okay!" Fang Yihua could only obey after seeing Shao Yifu's decision.
...
Another movie giant in Xiangjiang, Golden Harvest, is also discussing it now.
But the direction of their discussions is different.
"... The above is Jun Shao's way of thinking about the Golden Princess Theater." Cai Yongchang said the information he had finally investigated.
Yin Jun gave Lei Juekun two ideas in total.
The first is to abandon the base fee and change to share distribution; the second is to carry out a reasonable film review system, with a group of film critics and practitioners, and ordinary audiences as a batch to cross review and conduct a comprehensive evaluation.
Hearing Cai Yongchang say it, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang really care about the second point.
"Well, Yin Jun is indeed a genius, I see, this film quality review system is very forward-looking." He Guanchang said, "Before we also had a film review, but it was far less detailed than Yin Jun thought, especially It is to allow the audience to join in, which is more conducive to making box office estimates for movies. This will not hurt the bad films. "
Zou Wenhuai, who came back from the United States to prepare for the Chinese New Year, smiled and heard, "Yeah. Actually, there is no need for an equal share agreement. Now we Jiahe and our satellite company can do it this way. If the reaction is real No, then our own movies can be modified again. "
"Good! I let them start preparing." Cai Yongchang nodded.
Jiahe's acting ability is very strong, and will never drag on the mud, which is one of the important reasons why they can sweep the Xiangjiang film industry in the 1980s and 1990s.
"How about Sanmao? His lower movie is still going to be in the Golden Princess Theater?" Zou Wenhuai said another thing.
He mentioned this, and He Guanchang and Cai Yongchang both looked down.
Hong Jinbao's "The Master's Prestige", did not discuss with Jiahe on the final fee, the release date and the number of theaters, etc., so he went to the Golden Princess theater line, which originally made Jiahe very annoyed.
As a result, "Master Weiwei" was as popular as Hong Jinbao's expectation, and it was hot, which made Jiahe very unhappy.
They should have earned this money!
But at this time it is useless to say that, so Zou Wenhuai asked He Guanchang to go to Hong Jinbao two days ago, hoping that he would not go to the Golden Princess theater line for his next movie, or that it would be released on Jiahe.
But yesterday He Guanchang said that Hong Jinbao was still hesitating. When he came just now, He Guanchang did not mention it, so Zou Wenhuai was a little worried.
"He hasn't decided yet." He Guanchang said, "But according to one of my men who asked him privately, he seemed to be ready to find Yin Jun again, grinding out a script. If the script is good, he is going to still be in Princess Jin, but He asked Princess Jin to come and set up some separate theaters to increase the number of theaters that were released to him. "
"Huh, that means that we can only pick up the mess?" Zou Wenhuai frowned even more.
"There is no way, he knows that our most important star in the future is Aaron, not him, so he looks for the back road ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Cai Yongchang's truth-seeking way," He is also ambitious, not reconciled I have lived under the influence for a long time. There is still such a super-perverted gold screenwriter in Jun Shao, which makes him more courageous. "
"You say how good it is for Yin Jun to do his real estate and comics honestly, how can he still go around in our film and television circle? Is it very profitable for him to write a script of 1 million?" He Guanchang couldn't help but Complained.
"Who knows? Maybe it's out of hobby." Zou Wenhuai said thoughtfully. "We don't have to worry, wait for Along's movie to come out. Jiahe must stabilize and see how Princess Jin does it and how it develops." Only we have the bottom. "
"we can only do this."
Cai Yongchang and He Guanchang both nodded slightly and agreed with his opinion.
To be honest, they now have a bit of regret. They didn't ask Yin Jun to write a few scripts.
With Yin Jun's scripts now all selling well, the sales of 1 million plus 15% of the profit share are nothing.
But at this time, Jiahe could not lose face, let alone Yin Jun is no longer just a screenwriter. The family's property is a little more than the three bosses of Jiahe.
In addition, there is a powerful weapon like Cheng Long on Jiahe.
If Cheng Long has been struggling to make a movie in Hollywood with a box office of US $ 30 million or even US $ 50 million, the grade will be different.
By relying on itself, Jiahe can become the first movie overlord of Xiangjiang!
It's just that they never thought about another problem.
What if Cheng Long ’s film falls short of expectations?
At that time, could Jiahe still hold the throne of Xiangjiang?
