Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Although according to Wei Dake's memory, the total global box office of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in another world is as high as 29 billion yuan, and the investment is [-] million. Looking at the box office data alone, it must be more than ten times the investment. .This does not include other channels of income.

But that's not how it works out.

He put his arms around Xie Zihao's shoulders and said with a good look:

"Let me tell you! The box office income of a movie is not exclusive to the investment producer alone. It has to be shared with the theater chain first. The theater chain will cut off a big knife first, and the remaining [-]% to [-]% will be returned. We have to share the profit with the publisher, so the investor can only get [-] to [-] percent of the box office."

"This is also the reason why many people say that the movie lost money even though the box office data is not as good as expected after it was released."

It was also the first time that Xie Zihao had a deep understanding of the Taoism inside, and he couldn't help saying unexpectedly:

"Those theaters can take half of the box office revenue without doing anything, so how can they make money by making movies?"

Wei Dake explained with a smile:

"As I said just now, if there is no theater chain to share the account, then the investor should make a small profit in this case, but after being split by the theater chain in half, it will be a loss on the book, and it needs to rely on some later income. Make up. Such as video tapes, TV copyrights, and peripherals."

"If the income from video tapes and TV copyrights is not satisfactory, then the loss is certain, and the difference is just a big loss and a small loss. Of course, those large and medium-sized film companies with distribution capabilities can also promote and distribute other films on their behalf. Therefore, even if the company’s performance loses, it will not lose too much. In fact, even if they make money, they will find ways to make it look like a loss. This is also for reasonable tax avoidance!”

As a senior insider who has been in the industry for more than [-] years, Wei Dake knows that the double or triple figure that Xie Zihao said just now is quite accurate.

According to the ratio of gold pounds in this world to rice dollars in another world, it is conservatively estimated that the Lord of the Rings trilogy in this world can get more than [-] million gold pounds after it is released, and the highest should not exceed [-] million gold pounds.

Taking an intermediate value, let’s take the final box office of [-] million White Eagle gold pounds as an example, and the publicity expenses need to be deducted, so that the two of them account for a quarter of the investment amount, and in the end they can get about [-]% of the total box office. Between six and eight percent, if you do the math, it's almost doubled.

Of course, there will be income from video tapes and peripherals in the future. It is estimated that they will get several million pounds in total. It can be said that this investment is definitely a big profit.

After all, there are very few investments in the world that can double their rate of return in just one or two years, and those in the financial industry don't count.

For a film practitioner like Wei Dake, investing in stocks is like a mountain, and the risk of that is higher than investing in movies. Even if he has money, there is a high chance that he will become a leek for the vampires of Worth Green. , Rich people like them can no longer be said to be leeks, but fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

It's no wonder that Wei Dake was happy, after all, such an opportunity to earn millions of pounds is rare in his 20-year career.

Even though he has directed several successful blockbuster films over the years, there are only a few of them that can earn this figure in the end.

More is to earn him fame and status.

It's not that he doesn't want to earn more gold pounds, but that at the beginning, he said that he was mild and didn't get the right to share at all.After he has a few successful works, it is already very good to be able to participate in the investment and obtain the right to share. It is also common for people to reduce the share by means of publicity expenses, hairstyle expenses, etc., even though he knows that those capitals are encroaching on himself. interests, but Wei Dake had to choose to give up that part of the interests.

After all, he still needs to hang out in this circle, and he doesn't have the capital to break the rules and overturn the cover.

It wasn't until he made money from three or four major investments in a row in seven or eight years, establishing his reputation as an international director, that his status gradually became unshakable, and when he started new projects again, he fully reaped the benefits he deserved.

But the inventory in his stomach is limited after all, and there are many movies in his memory that are not suitable for filming at that time, so the net worth that Wei Dake has earned from movies over the years is only more than ten million pounds, which is equivalent to [-] million pounds in his previous life. Ten thousand meters yuan rich man.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these are of course unattainable achievements, but in front of those capital tycoons, he is just a little rich with some weight. On the contrary, his fame and achievements are even more impressive.

Now joining this project with Xie Zihao, it is conservatively estimated that after the release of the three movies, he will at least have three-tenths of his net worth, how can Wei Da be unhappy.

And he doesn't have to wait for all the Lord of the Rings trilogy to be released before going to split the bill.

He continued to teach Xie Zihao his experience and said:
"Let me tell you, after the first box office results of Lord of the Rings come out, we can use the box office share of the three movies to mortgage separately in the bank, and get the money to invest in other projects, such as making new movies or buying new movies. Real estate or something."

"It is already the most basic operation in the capital circle to earn two or even three points of income with one piece of money. Only honest people will use their own money to invest foolishly. Smart people use future money and Other people’s money! The premise is not to encounter an economic crisis or project thunder.”

After listening to Xie Zihao, he felt that the capital trap was too deep, and it was not something he, a newbie, could play around with.

Fortunately, he doesn't want to become a capital tycoon or something. Some operations can be handed over to the people under him. His main purpose of making money is just to maintain a better practice and living environment.

And Wei Dake is just happy to make money here.

After traveling for 20 years, he has already passed the stage of pursuing money, not to mention there is a greater pursuit now, that is the path of extraordinaryness!
Regarding the meaning revealed in the words of these two year-end friends, it seems that they are very confident in the success of the Lord of the Rings movie, otherwise they would not have such an optimistic attitude.

Sophia Cole and James Berkeley next to each other couldn't help but looked at each other, not knowing where the confidence of the two came from.

However, as a director, David Cole has basically achieved success in the films he has shot in recent years, whether it is artistic or commercial, as well as the film and television projects he participated in investment. These years, he has been well-known in the entertainment industry. As a daughter, Sophia I am quite convinced of my father's vision.

But why Xie Zihao, a young rookie actor, insisted on participating in the Lord of the Rings project and had the intention to invest when he heard about the Lord of the Rings project, she couldn't figure it out.

Not only Sophia, but also James Berkeley, who is in charge of Xie Zihao's acting career and company affairs, can't figure it out.But one advantage of this senior agent is that he knows how to advance and retreat, and he also understands some of the magic of his own boss.

So seeing that both the great director and Xie Zihao value this project so much, it shows that the Lord of the Rings movie has a high chance of being successful in the future.

The two of them didn't say much, they just gave their full support.

Soon came the day when Xie Zihao joined the group.

The Lord of the Rings crew has already made sufficient preparations, and even held a launch ceremony in Hollywood, inviting various media to come and interview.
