China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 414 A well-designed movie award
Everyone knows the theory that when there are no competitors in the market, the popularity must drop. If there are several strong competitors in the market, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention and popularity.

Therefore, this National Day period lacks popular films that can compete in the arena. Therefore, although the box office market of this National Day period is okay, it is not as good as everyone imagined.

It's already October, and another thing is getting busy, that is, the first annual Film Awards. The final registration is now in full swing. According to the rules, the deadline for registration is 11:30 on November 24.

So now we are in the last two months of the countdown, and there are many movies that have been signed up after a lot of 'tangles'.

Why 'tangle'?Because they have to pay part of the copyright fees and box office revenue.However, if you can really win a prize, if nothing else, the bonus alone will be very tempting.Because 70% of all revenue from the Annual Film Awards is used to distribute bonuses, and 30% is used for operations.

According to the rules of this award, if the total net income of the film awards is 5 million, then 3.5 million of them are bonuses, and the first basic award is deducted from this 3.5 million, which is the nomination award.

That is to say, there will be a bonus for being nominated, and a reward of 50 for being nominated. In theory, there are 24 awards, and there are 10 nominations for each award. This alone will cost 1.2 million.

当然，这50万的基础奖金里面制片方只能得60%，即30万。剩下的20万中专业评委分走75%即15万，再就是非专业评委占20%即4万，最后是观众占5%即1万块。

The remaining 2.3 million is given to the winners of the 24 prizes, and the weight of each prize of these 24 winners is different, so the prize money allocated to each prize is different.

For example, the annual Film Awards divides the 24 awards into four weights, namely the six first-tier awards (Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Film). One is the most important weight and can be allocated 40% of the total bonus, which is 9200 million.

The second level award is 30% of the total bonus, the third level award is 20% of the total bonus, and the fourth level award is 10% of the total bonus.

The six prizes in each category do not distribute the corresponding bonuses equally, but the bonuses are different according to different weights.

比如第一档中的依次又有最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳男演员、最佳女演员、最佳剧本、最佳剪辑依然从大到小的权重不同，依奖为最佳影片25%的权重即第一档总奖金9200万里头的2300万，最佳导演20%即7200万里的1840万，最佳男女演员均为15%即每个奖都拿到1380万，而最佳剧本与最佳剪辑共25%即每个奖为12.5%即每个奖可以拿到1150万。

Of course, the bonus here does not deduct the dividends from professional judges, non-professional judges and audiences.For example, the total prize money for the Best Picture Award is 2300 million, but the producers can only get 60% of it, or 1380 million, and the judges and the audience share the remaining 40%, or 920 million.

The 920 million divided between the judges and the audience is divided into three weights: professional judges (75%), non-professional judges (20%), and audiences (5%).

The other awards in this category are also calculated in this way, which ensures that each award has a substantial bonus while being consistent in weight.

Of course, there is another question. When a winner wins an award, does the bonus belong to the producer or the individual winner?
Regarding this issue, the Film Awards Organizing Committee also discussed a distribution plan. The specific method is as follows:

80% of the bonus for each award belongs to the production company and 20% belongs to the individual, and will be distributed uniformly by the organizing committee.

This setting is to ensure that the bonuses are given to the producers while also ensuring that individuals can also receive bonuses. Perhaps people may think that many awards are individual awards, why should 80% be allocated to the producers?
In fact, these huge bonuses are generated by the producers contributing part of the copyright fees and box office, so most of the bonuses must go to the producers, otherwise they would not be able to subsidize the interests of the producers. It’s not fair to win an award individually.

Faced with such a strict, reasonable and fair distribution plan, it is actually too tempting for some movies. How big of a temptation is there?If a movie receives 10 nominations, the producer of the movie can receive 10 million for these 300 nominations alone.

If the movie wins a Best Picture award, that would add another 1380 million, for a total of 1680 million.If he wins a few more awards, then just in terms of bonuses alone, one movie can earn tens of millions in revenue.

The income of tens of millions, this is not the box office of tens of millions, the box office of tens of millions has to be divided with others, these tens of millions of bonuses are pure income.So is it a big temptation for the producers?Big, extremely big.

Is that a big temptation for the judges?Same big.

For example, if you are a professional judge and you vote for nominations for 10 movies, and all 10 movies are nominated, then you can share the 15 nomination bonus. Of course, this may be shared with hundreds or even thousands of others. The judges will share it together, but you can also get hundreds of dollars for each nominated film, and 10 movies can get thousands of dollars.

Maybe this is not the biggest temptation, but there are still points, and the real award voting later is when the big points will be divided.For example, if your vote for the Best Picture Award is successful, then the prize money distributed to the judges for this film may be 690 million. At this time, you can share the 690 million with hundreds or thousands of judges, which will make a huge profit. No matter what, there are thousands of bonuses.

Although these may not seem like much, a few hundred here, a few thousand there.But among the 24 awards, as a professional judge, you can basically tell who has the best quality and the highest probability of winning. Basically, it is still possible for you to win 60% of them. If the 60% probability is not reached, It proves that you, the judge, are unprofessional.

If you win 60% of the votes, then the income of a judge from the entire award will be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

This only assumes that the overall net income of the Film Awards is only 5 million, but the online copyright income, part of the box office income, advertising naming income, and film broadcast income from the awards night for so many movies...how can it be only 5 million? What about net income?

The organizing committee of the annual Film Awards will also disclose all income from the film awards and introduce a third audit firm for supervision and fairness.

The organizing committee clearly stated that it would only charge 30% of the total income. This disclosure made everyone involved at least feel that it was fair.

The judges and producers are all smart people, and everyone can do calculations. As soon as the award rules for the Annual Film Awards were announced, many people calculated the benefits.

Therefore, the final registration is about to close. At this time, the enthusiasm for the participation of the jury and the audience is also unprecedentedly exciting. Everyone is looking forward to whether their algorithm is correct.

The design of He Fang and Tuanhuo Company actually refers to two things. One is the design of lottery draws, and the other is the setting of Champions League bonuses.

Especially with the Champions League bonus setting, why do all players feel proud of reaching the Champions League and winning the trophy?

It’s because as long as you reach the Champions League, you will have income. Then how much is the income in the group stage, how much is the income of the top 16, how much is the income of the top 8, how much is the income of the top 4, how much is the income of the finals, and how much is the income of the champion. How many.

These are all on one level, and the higher you go, the higher the income. The settings are very reasonable and very attractive.Some teams rely on the income from the Champions League to maintain part of the team's operations. Once they fail to enter the Champions League, their team's income will drop sharply in the second year, and they will have no money to buy people and operate the team, and they will fall into crisis.

This mechanism is very good. If we move this mechanism to the film awards, wouldn’t it make major production companies and film workers greedy for it?

Not only can you get rich prizes, but there are also so many professional judges around the world who vote to show the authority and professionalism of this award. This is the real combination of fame and fortune.

"Director He, your award design is really awesome. Who in the film industry can resist the temptation? Anyway, I was the first one to sign up." Wang Jing came to visit the crew of "Ghost in the Shell" Where did you tell him?
