Chapter 142: Beautiful Girl
"Charlotte's Troubles" has been released, and the box office has almost arrived.
Wanda Pictures is one of the publishers and does not make much money. It is just the most regular distribution fee, which is about 6% of the total box office.
Don’t think that 6% is outrageous, this is a very conscientious price. Hollywood, the average distribution fee can account for 15% of the total box office!
It is because the domestic market is not very mature. A movie only requires big stars or big directors to join, and theaters will ask for screenings...
Hollywood is different. Distribution companies have broad publicity channels and strong distribution capabilities. It does not mean that just acquiring a company with issuance rights can achieve the level of six major or even second-tier publishers in promotion and distribution.
If the distribution problem is really easy to solve, the later Pixar Studios and DreamWorks Animation Studios would not go around looking for publishers. The former is so frustrated under Disney, and the latter even wants to sell itself to publishers...
Back to the topic, although "Charlotte Troubles" did not help Wanda achieve a qualitative transformation, as the publisher, they understood all the information behind the scenes of "Charlotte Troubles", which naturally included Bai Xiaofei's investment.
The theater chain has injected the first payment into the hands of the issuer.
According to the relevant regulations on the screening of mainland movies, generally speaking, twenty-eight days after a film is released, the theater party will pay the distributor the first share of the share. The subsequent share will change with the agreement and release time. Most of the films can get all the box office share within one week of the release.
However, when the money is in the hands of the issuer, it is unknown when he will pay it to the producers and other investors.
Especially for those individual investors, it is normal for issuers to delay for a year or two. Even the companies with the best reputation, there are endless things to be liable for debt and delay payment...
Never overestimate the moral standards of a film company.
This is also the main reason why Bai Xiaofei put the director studio under Yongsheng.
Personally, independent film companies are never the opponents of those large companies!
You can just trick you!
Of course, most publishers will not cheat a director with a significant rise period, and Bai Xiaofei's share of the accounts has been recorded.
That's right, the tax on the movie box office is deducted by 5% of the movie development special fund for every 100 yuan box office, 3.3% of the business tax and surcharge...
Therefore, this part of the income does not require additional tax payments, except for personal income tax...
Xiaobai invested 5 million in the name of director studio. For Wanda Pictures, it is not even considered a root cause!
But the 5 million yuan is exchanged for a profit share of about 120 million yuan, which is so scary!
Nearly 24 times the return on investment...
Now there is "Knock on the Door of Heaven" again...
Let’s put it this way, Bai Xiaofei’s personal income through two movies has exceeded that of most film and television production companies in the country!
...
After about half an hour, Bai Xiaofei could not remember how much wine he drank. Although most of it was red wine, his alcohol content could only be considered average. At this time, he felt like he was too heavy...
You must not get drunk in such an occasion. If you show your ugly appearance after getting drunk, Xiaobai will become a laughing stock!
"Do you want to vomit once?"
Chen Baolian, who had been invisible, appeared beside Bai Xiaofei and suggested with some concern.
"How to vomit? Do you use your fingers to pick it?"
"Well, it feels better this way, and then I can come back and continue. I used to do this when attending banquets!"
“…”
This woman is so cruel to herself!
Xiaobai couldn't do it, so he shook his head decisively: "I'll find a place to rest, have some tea, and wake up my mind..."
"There are booths over there, you go over!"
There are several salons on the left side of the hall, separated by bead curtains, so there should be no one.
He lifted the bead curtain and nodded to several bigwigs who were chatting.
"Xiao Fei was a little drunk, I asked him to sober up..."
Chen Baolian was responsible for explaining that Xiaobai sat straight in the corner and asked for a pot of Longjing.
"Aren't you very good at drinking? I used to drink all the wine from my house with Xiaojiu!"
"...That's beer! Besides, you have a box of beer in your house!"
Xiaobai was a little speechless. Although he was a little dizzy, his brain was very clear...
"Okay, you're sitting here, someone comes over, you..."
"You don't have to worry about me, go quickly!"
He waved his hand impatiently, Chen Baolian poured him some tea, looked at him worriedly, and took a few minutes before he walked out of the booth.
This is a good occasion for making connections.
Xiaobai’s worst thing now is his foundation. As an agent, Chen Baolian must help him establish a huge network of personal connections in the shortest time.
She is very suitable for doing this kind of thing!
...
Xiaobai leaned his head against the sofa and closed his eyes.
A little headache.
It should be because I haven't had a good rest these days, otherwise how could this little wine make him faint?
There is the sound of high heels stepping on the floor...
"Why are you back?"
"ah?"
"I said...I'm sorry, I thought it was my agent..."
I opened my eyes a little impatiently. I was so embarrassed that I was not Chen Baolian, but a slender girl.
The black evening dress should also be here to attend the dinner...
It looks familiar, but for a moment, Xiaobai couldn't remember the name...
"Is there anyone here? Then I..."
"No, no, I'm a little drunk. Sober up here, are you... Tong Liya?"
Finally remember who it was!
"…Yes…you are director Bai Xiaofei!"
"Hello, senior sister!"
Xiaobai quickly got up and his attitude became much more correct...
This is Xiaobai's direct senior sister. When she was in school, Bai Xiaofei had heard of her name. Uh, Tong Liya is the first student in the Central Academy of Drama to go out to film in her freshman year!
According to general regulations, freshmen are not allowed to go out to film.
That drama is a TV series directed by Er Dongsheng, and it is a co-production film...
After gently squeezing the other party's slender fingers, Xiaobai said directly: "You can call Xiaobai..."
"Why are you here?"
"I've drunk too much, I'm a little dizzy..."
Bai Xiaofei touched his nose a little embarrassedly.
Of course he knew why Tong Liya appeared here. In such an occasion, there would definitely be female stars. Bai Xiaofei had just met with Bai Jin and Zhao Yanzi.
Although Wanda did not directly sign an actor, it has intersected with many brokerage companies through holdings and participating in investment.
Tong Liya’s personal studio has Wanda’s capital.
Wanda has 46% of the shares in her husband Mr. Chen’s director studio!
"Congratulations, the first movie sold a huge amount of one billion!"
"It's just luck." Pour a cup of tea and hand it to her: "I watched "Taking Tiger Mountain in Telling", and your role in it is profound!"
