Chapter 121 Issues

"Knock on the Door of Heaven", Bai Xiaofei signed a contract with guaranteed bonus points.

As a screenwriter, director and starring, his salary is 3 million. This money is guaranteed and can be received first. How much money can be earned depends on the box office!

If the box office is 200 million, Bai Xiaofei can get a share of two percent;

If it exceeds 300 million, then three percent will be;

After 500 million, there is a box office share of 5% and after that, every 100 million increase will be a share of 100 million, with the upper limit being 1.5 billion...

In addition, Director Bai Xiaofei's Studio is also one of the producers of "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" and enjoys three percent dividend benefits.

You see, the cake has been prepared before the movie has been released!

Therefore, if a movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan cannot reach 300 million yuan, it will be a loss.

Filmmaking itself is a very risky thing, which is different from selling a house.

No matter how restricted the purchase of a house or how macro-controlled it is, as long as the urbanization process does not stop, the buyer of a house will always be at a disadvantage...

Chen Laoba sold his house for half his life, and his understanding of the entire industry is far beyond what ordinary people can know.

However, movies are different from selling houses. You spend a lot of money to shoot a work, but the audience doesn’t like it. What can you do?

For producers, if the publisher is willing to be the sucker and release it at the guaranteed time, they are of course willing to do so!

...

We must talk about the relationship between the publisher and the producer.

The producer has the right to decide all matters in filming, including the investment of the script, hiring directors, photographers, actors and sending film producers to represent it to manage the filming funds, review the shooting funds and control the entire process of filming.

The issuer goes to copy, apply for a key, schedule the schedule, send the copy to the theater, do publicity, purchase advertisements, negotiate the accounting ratio, sign a contract with the theater, etc.

Finally, the film was sold out, and the investor deserved part of it and gave it to the issuer as an agent fee.

Many box office losses are awful, and as long as the issuer is not an investor, he will basically make a profit!

The issuer makes money not based on the box office. People have to get the money first and then help with the issuance!

Of course, Yongsheng Pictures has the ability to publish!

The domestic film industry is still in a brutal period, which is different from Hollywood.

In the whole of Hollywood, only those companies have non-issuance capabilities.

So, DreamWorks is still being ruined...

The so-called distribution ability means having the ability to let theaters schedule films for you.

This thing is accumulated from works one by one.

Ah Li is so arrogant that the movies she made still have to be jointly released. Why?

They don’t dare to eat alone either!

Of course, the issuing companies are not all that reliable, the most obvious example is glamorous!

It actually cheated the producer's money!

The issuance cost is difficult to control, because for laymen or film companies, this part of the money issuing company may not give you a detailed account.

Some unreliable publishers will make this part of the fee very high. After deducting it, of course you will have no money to share. How to make it high? For example, some free things are calculated as billable, and some rewards are given to theaters, especially for private ones. If you give them or not, you will have no account to check. Many of them are like this.

Yongsheng was planning to work with the big brothers in the industry for the release of this movie "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven".

He also started out by selling a house, so Chen Laoba found Da Lao Wang.

After watching the movie, the person in charge of Wanda studied it carefully and then concluded that this is a movie with great potential for dark horses!

The so-called dark horse videos, especially domestic ones, must have comedy to some extent!

Either it is a pure comedy or it is rich in a lot of comedy elements to create the artistic image of "little characters".

"Crazy Stone" and "Lost in Thailand" are obviously real comedy movies.

Although "33 Days of Love Break", "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", "Beijing Falls in Seattle" is a romance film, at least more than half of the storyline in the film will make the audience laugh.

We can call it "love light comedy".

Another point is that the plot uses a lot of Chinese local elements, which is consistent with the current social hot issues and online cultural information.

The plot setting and character dialogue, especially the use of dialects, regional scenes, unique folk customs, etc. are in line with the unique living conditions and social language of the Chinese!

Obviously, "Knock on the Gate of Heaven" is this type of movie!

The big old man knew that Chen Laoba was not short of money, so he took 500 million yuan at one time.

A movie with a cost of less than 50 million yuan in promotion and distribution is guaranteed to be 500 million...

Chen Laoba was very moved...

...

For Xiaobai, it doesn’t matter which company is responsible for the issuance of "Knocking on the Door of Heaven".

He is not the producer.

Anyway, he sold well at the box office, so he won all his fame and fortune.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not selling well, just treat it as accumulating experience!

As for what is, "guaranteed release is actually a gambling act. If the box office gambling performance cannot be completed, the "story bubble" behind it will burst in minutes. Under the pressure of performance gambling and the uncertainty of movie box office, buying box office, stealing box office, and various fancy box office tricks will come into being. Those who are injured are medium and low-cost movies, and they are facing being squeezed out during the schedule and even being stolen from the box office.'

Or "the guaranteed issuance does not conform to the laws of normal market development."

Has a half-dollar relationship with him?

He is just a director, not a big shot.

It’s not him who ruined Chinese movies, he is considered a scallion!

So, he didn't care much about what Chen Baolian said, and just said, "Just leave it to the company for handling."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shan asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's continue, where did you just talk about?"

“…Say you want to take us to the world…”

Zhang Shan looked at Bai Xiaofei speechlessly...

Daily bragging!

In fact, Xiaobai has been a little bit arrogant recently. When he first debuted, even if he was upset by the young man named Huang, he would not recommend the staff to let him get out...

As his status rises, inadvertently, Xiaobai is dealing with things and will be different from before.

There is no way, two lifetimes have never been so successful!

At the age of 23, the screenwriter of the Eleventh Film, starring and director.

Just ask if you are afraid?

"It's a pity that the judges of San Sebastian international films have no vision. Otherwise, "Knock on the Gate of Heaven" will be able to win an award no matter how many times you go around. Let's hype it up and become an international actor and an international director!"

"Yes, what you said makes sense!"

Rolling his eyes, Zhang Shan continued to support the role helplessly...

"I told you, I originally wanted to sign up for the Houston Film Festival, I'm so embarrassed..."

“…Why?”

"It's too low, it's not easy to promote if you win the award..."
