33 Chapter 33 I am optimistic about him (seeking recommendation and collection) (1/2)

”Is this gone?”

On the road, Ryan was still a little confused.

Lyman nodded, ”Well, wait for the news.”

”Not optimistic, are you?” Thomas, who was walking silently, also spoke.

Lehman nodded again, ”There are concerns.” Then he comforted: ”It doesn't matter, if this project fails, we have another choice. This work can wait until later, and we have more convincing results. After that, start again. Maybe, then, our own funds will be enough to shoot and produce.”

With that said, the three seemed to be optimistic.

But after all, there is still a slight difference, what is it?The feeling of not being optimistic seems to have brought them back to the days when they were crazy seeking release.

The look of silly visiting at home is really handsome.

Looking back, Lehman looked at the headquarters of Europa Pictures.

The modern business building is astonishingly high, more than 100 meters tall, standing up from the ground, like a strong giant standing in the city center.

When they reached the entrance of the street, the three waited silently, until Ryan waved his hand to stop a taxi, and they returned to the hotel where they were staying.

At the same time, the meeting on investment projects has not yet ended.

......

Luc Besson looked at the detailed budget statement and shooting plan, and he couldn't help being moved by the string of data on it.

Obviously a lot of thought was spent.

”Boss, are you sure to cancel the project? The risk is indeed a bit big.” The production director said.

Luc Besson put down the report in his hand and did not directly state the decision. Instead, he asked an irrelevant question, ”How about the release of Buried Alive?”

”The cumulative total of the global box office has reached...”

In the sixth week of the screening of ”Buried Alive”, the French market was already down, and the total global box office reached 14.67 million euros.

There is no doubt that this movie can make Europa Pictures profitable.

Only paid 2 million euros in copyright distribution fees, and close to 2 million euros in publicity costs, and got 8.26 million euros in pre-tax share, minus expenditures, the total profit was about 3.89 million euros.According to the fact that only a few overseas regions are still showing ”Buried Alive”, the box office that can be provided every day is more than 200,000 euros, but the proportion has dropped to 4,060.

Say something off topic.How to divide the box office revenue of theater chains and distribution companies?Mainly look at the specific movie to create income.

Generally speaking, the conventional share ratio is to adopt a model called ”9010-floor factor multiplied by 70%”.

The algorithm of this sharing is to take the weekly box office total score of a movie in a movie theater, minus the fixed expenses for theater screening, such as cleaning fees, electricity costs, daily maintenance and repairs, etc. , And then multiply by 90%, the figure obtained is the film rent that the distribution company gets.

However, this is only one of the options, and a condition must be added later, that is, the total box office does not subtract the movie theater line’s screening expenses, and it is directly multiplied by 70% (this ratio is generally between 60-70%. Yes, it depends on how to negotiate with the theaters. In short, the better the prospects of movie releases, the more favorable the negotiation between the distributors, and vice versa, the stronger the theaters.) The resulting figure is the distribution company’s share.

So publishers generally look at which of these two options has more revenue, and then choose which way to share as the commission they get from the theater this week.

Of course, it is impossible for the theaters to work in vain. Such a high proportion of share is only the first three weeks of the screening, and then from the fourth week, it will be reduced to 6040, the sixth week will be 5050, and the seventh week will be 4060. ..... Anyway, the longer the show time, the higher the proportion of the theater chain, but not all movies can last for such a long show time. Generally, it can only be done by popular or high-reputation movies. .

The theater chain depends on the revenue. If the daily output cannot keep up with the market, or is not satisfactory, even if the new movie is released, it will be cut for you and replaced by something else.

Everything is just as good as money.

That is to say, from the agreed schedule to the release of a movie, all the box office revenue, the distribution between the distributor and the movie theater, is probably a bit cheaper by the distributor, but it is almost 55 open, half and half.

”The script is interesting.” When the boss spoke, he said something that the director of the production department didn't understand. Wasn't he still talking about the income of ”Buried Alive” just now? Why did you talk about the script again?

Is the director’s ability to leap so fast?The director of the production department fell into deep thinking.

”What do you think, what about the script?”

”The subject matter is very good, very innovative.” The director of the production department nodded slightly.

”It's rare that there is a director who doesn't like to focus on the mess of family ethics, do you think it is very interesting.”
