Chapter 134: Accounting
"Riding the Wind and Waves" was released for 28 days and was officially released.
However, it is not easy to get the profit share of "Ride the Wind and Waves" as soon as possible.
Especially Bai Xiaofei's share!
According to the contract signed at the time, Yongsheng Games will pay the director's share within half a year after the film is lower than the second half of the year.
Compared to the one-month arrival in "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven", this time seems to be a long time, but it is actually the most normal situation in the industry.
According to convention, it is very troublesome to settle the investment share of the film. It takes several years and there is no place to complain except the court. Many companies that invest in the film struggle until the company goes bankrupt, and often fail to receive the share share they deserve.
As for directors, if the production company does not want to continue to cooperate, the remuneration they should pay will often delay for a long time.
Even Lao Zhang has encountered this situation!
Fortunately, Bai Xiaofei threw out a piece of bait early, which proved that he had the ability to turn the bait into a big fish!
The official mobile game "Wulin Waizai" is officially launched in the New Year. On the first day of its launch, the number of online users directly squeezed out the server. Now a month has passed, fifteen new districts have been added, with a monthly turnover of 30 million yuan!
According to industry forecasts, the vitality of the mobile game "Wulin Wai Chuan" can be at least three to five years, and preliminary predictions can bring at least 200 million benefits!
This is just a mobile game...
Yongsheng is promoting the stage plays, dramas and other projects of "Wulin Waizhuan", and the two sides will cooperate in the future.
As long as there is cooperation, there will be no problem with sharing on time payment!
But in other aspects, such as TV copyright and network income, Yongsheng may be tampered with it, but it will also be within a range that Bai Xiaofei can tolerate.
There is really nothing to do about this. Even if Bai Xiaofei hired a professional lawyer and accountant team to supervise, he could not fully guarantee the authenticity of the final peripheral income. He could only have a vague concept.
Generally, several video websites will be publicly bid for online copyrights for popular videos.
With the current influence of "Riding the Wind and Waves", it should be no problem to sell 50 million!
By the way, the most expensive movie at present is "Monster Hunt", which sold for 60 million...
These are all mainland income. "Ride the Wind and Waves" will also be exported to more than 30 countries overseas. This overseas income basically has nothing to do with Bai Xiaofei.
Not much, after all, the overseas revenue of Chinese-language films is not very good, especially urban types...
Compared with overseas, the mainland can be subject to stricter supervision. "Ride the Wind and Waves" has just been removed, and Bai Xiaofei's studio accountants and Yongsheng checked the account details.
The accounts are very clear, and even people like Bai Xiaofei who don’t know much about finance can understand it.
"Riding the Wind and Waves" has a total of 1.8886 billion yuan in mainland China. According to the signed bank agreement, after the theater party deducts fixed expenses such as taxes and fees, Yongsheng, as the issuer, received a total of 730 million yuan in mainland China's box office share.
The production cost of "Riding the Wind and Waves" is 68 million, and advertising implants are included in the benefits.
During the release of the movie, there will be advertisements in theaters. This is called pre-movie advertisements. Generally speaking, the better the movie, more patch advertisements will come to you. The revenue of this part of the theaters will be divided into 40%, and the rest will belong to the producer.
The film advertisement for "Ride the Wind and Waves" sold almost 40 million, and the producer could only share more than 20 million.
By this calculation, the revenue of "Riding the Wind and Waves" is close to 800 million!
Generally speaking, theaters will transfer the money to the distributor in three times, but there will still be exceptions for big-selling movies. Basically, the account sharing will arrive on the third day of the movie being removed!
The issuer, Yongsheng, after receiving this payment, first settled the 38 million promotional and distribution expenses paid by Bai Xiaofei Studio, and then paid off 15% of the box office income.
Fifteen percent is 120 million, and after deducting twenty percent of taxes, there are still 100 million left!
Of course, it can be called a big profit, but compared with Yongsheng's net profit of nearly 600 million, Chen Baolian is a little jealous.
If only they had fought for it again!
Yongsheng was also a little annoyed. They thought that it would be great if they had kicked Bai Xiaofei's studio away!
No one expected that the box office of "Ride the Wind and Waves" could reach this level.
What Gu Nianxi regrets now is that especially the director Bai Xiaofei who has written a black and white text.
First of all, Bai Xiaofei's share is not calculated based on revenue, but is aimed at the overall box office. According to the share agreement, Xiaobai can get a total box office share of 10%, which is 188.6 million!
Of course, this money must be deducted from Yongsheng's income.
So, before the 800 million was heated, nearly 340 million had been separated...
The investment of 68 million yuan has brought back more than 400 million yuan, not including the income of its theater chains. This is already the most cost-effective transaction.
You should know that although the box office of "Kung Fu Yoga" in the Spring Festival exceeded 1.7 billion, its cost exceeded 400 million. In addition to the big brother's salary, the most important thing is that "Kung Fu Yoga" is filmed all over the world, especially the racing scenes inside, which almost gather the world's most luxurious sports cars, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron, Bentley... and more than 70 vehicles. It also borrowed the world's only luxury car Devel Sixteen from the Prince of Dubai...
Coupled with overwhelming publicity, this is all real RMB!
At most, its producers can only guarantee that they will not lose money. As for the profit, it depends on the surrounding area. However, with the international influence of the elder brother, "Kung Fu Yoga" can still make a lot of money, but compared with "Riding the Wind and Waves", it is definitely not that obvious!
After this comparison, Gu Nianxi wanted to die even more.
The hell is a share contract, why didn’t you pay the director’s pay in one lump sum at the beginning?
Because the cooperation with Yongsheng has temporarily terminated the film, Xiaobai is ready for a protracted battle. Anyway, Gu Nianxi cannot stop giving it to her. If it really doesn't work, let's see you in court!
Unexpectedly, the latter was quite straightforward and paid Xiaobai's share in one lump sum.
Do you want to get back together and make another profit?
...
When I received my own money, the first thing I did was to withdraw 10% and give it to Chen Baolian, and ask her to send it to the studio according to her position level. It was considered a reward. Of course, I did not forget to give the reward to the entire shooting team.
A successful film is by no means a masterpiece of a director, it requires the collaboration of an entire team!
Without the studio's joint efforts, Xiaobai would not have the time to consider the filming and production of the film. Just arguing with Yongsheng would be enough to exhaust him!
The supervisory and auditing role of professional lawyers and accountants teams is also indispensable, and capital has never had a conscience.
The filming team has always been a partner, so of course they are qualified to receive dividends.
In fact, in Yongsheng, Bai Xiaofei Studio had already rewarded the entire team when it was a box office hit by "Riding the Wind and Waves". This time, Bai Xiaofei's personal reward was awarded!
In addition to this account, Bai Xiaofei's studio participated in the production of "Wolf Warrior 2", which instantly cost 60 million!
There are also professional equipment purchases, some of which are tens of millions away.
Chapter completed!
