How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 375: 6.5 billion is not the peak, there is still a lot of room for growth

It has grossed over [-] million in Mainland China and topped the annual box office rankings in Hong Kong.

[Fearless] After achieving such an achievement, he directly fought hard for Li Lianlian, who was defeated in Hollywood and whose position was somewhat unstable.

Let's put it this way, with the results of "Fearless", Li Lianlian is now in Asia and has returned to the top.

The only problem is...

Li Lianlian and the producer of "Huo Yuanjia" - Xiangjiang Galaxy Pictures.

In the [Huo Yuanjia] project, we did not make much tangible profits.

Or to put it more intuitively, Zhang Nan pocketed the majority of the profits.

Because Li Lianjie's share contract in "Fearless Fearless" was purchased by Zhang Nan's Longbow Distribution Company at a low price before "Fearless Fearless" was released, Li Lianlian was in an undecided state. .

Even the producer Xiangjiang Galaxy Pictures' share of profits from "Huo Yuanjia" and Longbow Distribution Company have also cut off a lot through their own distribution channels and early bets.

Of course, since Xiangjiang Galaxy Pictures can produce the "Fearless" project.

My heart is no longer hesitant.

When the movie has been shot and is just waiting to be released, there is no shortage of courage to take a gamble.

Therefore, Longbow Distribution Company did not cut off the box office income of "Huo Yuanjia", but exchanged some of "Huo Yuanjia's" discs, DVDs... and other peripheral income from Xiangjiang Galaxy Pictures.

With Xiangjiang Galaxy Pictures and the share-sharing contract held by Li Lianlian, basically all the peripheral income from the filming of "Fearless" went to Zhang Nan.

Don't underestimate this benefit.

The reason why Li Lianlian was successful in Hollywood back then was because of the peripheral income from DVDs, discs, etc. of his movies, which are extremely generous in Europe and the United States.

Although Li Lianlian has gone downhill now, he still has some background.

Let's put it this way, the box office revenue of "Fearless" in North America was only US$2463.3 million, but the revenue from the rental and sale of discs in North America was as high as US$4051 million.

Li Lianlian earned more than 0 million US dollars from the "Huo Yuanjia" project on the basis of 3000 remuneration from the rental and sale of the movie's discs.

It's just that these profits have been cut off by Zhang Nan.

Li Lianlian felt a little regretful, but there was nothing he could do.

And if Li Lianlian is regretful and helpless, then Xiangjiang Galaxy Pictures is even more aggrieved.

They prepared the film and paid for the investment, but the final benefit was hard to describe.

Because the global box office of "Fearless" is US$7069.1 million.

However, since "Fearless" is not a blockbuster, according to market conditions, the distribution contract signed with Longbow Publishing Company is only a [-]-[-] ratio.

This is the result of the courtesy of Longbow Publishing Company.

It would be impossible for any other Hollywood distribution company to sign a sharing distribution contract with you, so Xiangjiang Galaxy Pictures has no complaints about this.

As a result, the box office dividend that Xiangjiang Galaxy Pictures can get is only US$2864 million.

Discounting the US$1200 million production cost of [Fearless], this wave of Xiangjiang Xinghe Film and Television made a huge profit of US$1664 million, a profit of 130%, which is not a small amount.

But sometimes, things are afraid of comparison.From the "Fearless" project, Longbow Publishing Company received a share of US$4241 million in box office revenue, and another US$6000-[-] million in peripheral income.

Comparing the revenue of more than 1000 million US dollars with the revenue of nearly [-] million US dollars, the gap of an order of magnitude made Xiangjiang Galaxy Pictures so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood, but there was nothing they could do about Zhang Nan.
-
Just as [Fearless] was reviving Li Lianhe's celebrity status in the mainland, Hollywood was purged of many divas, and before the 78th Academy Awards, the noise started again.

The reason for the hustle and bustle is also simple.

There are professional paparazzi who have stolen information about the [Harry Potter] spin-off film - [Harry Potter-Voldemort] from Warner Pictures.

It was nothing.

After all, the project of a [Harry Potter] spin-off film has been rumored in the grapevine for several years, and it is not surprising that it is now finalized.

But the project is not surprising, but Zhang Nan's exaggerated salary in the project is not surprising.

Tell the truth.

Although last year Zhang Nan and Disney signed a contract with a fixed salary of up to 2 million US dollars for "Pirates of the Caribbean 6.1".

But that’s Disney, which opens amusement parks, engages in real estate, and has a big family and business!

And although many people think that Zhang Nan's asking price is high, they only think that it is an accidental phenomenon caused by Zhang Nan's accumulation over the years and the sudden explosion.

But now it seems.

That horse riding is not an accidental phenomenon, but will become the norm.

We have worked so hard to make a movie here, and it would be great if we can earn 2000 million US dollars, and few people can continue to get it.

As a result, you can easily get thirty times the salary.

Who can stand this?

a time.

Hollywood, and even the global entertainment industry, have been thrown into confusion by this wave of cooperation between Zhang Nan and Warner Pictures.

During this period, some people couldn't help but ask: Is Zhang Nan's film contract really worth the money?In other words, how much is Zhang Nan's film contract worth?

Then some good people started to give answers based on the situation.

"This is a very good question, and the answer is easy to calculate, because if you look at it, it is a value of hundreds of millions of dollars, but in fact, if you remove the word "[-] million", it will be a ten-digit number. Just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculation problems.”

"According to what we know so far, although Zhang Nan received a salary of 6.5 million U.S. dollars in the [Harry Potter-Voldemort] project, it was only this amount of income. At the same time, Zhang Nan and Warner Pictures We also signed a betting agreement with a box office of one billion US dollars.”

"Then let's calculate based on the fact that the box office of [Harry Potter and Voldemort] has just reached one billion US dollars. For a blockbuster like this, the theaters and producers will share a [-]-[-] share."

"In other words, with a box office of one billion U.S. dollars, Warner can get [-] million U.S. dollars in revenue."

"Then excluding Zhang Nan's fixed salary of US$6.5 million, plus the initial production fee of US$1.5 million, Warner Pictures will lose US$[-] million."

"But that's not how it works. For movies like [Harry Potter - Voldemort] spin-offs, box office revenue generally only accounts for about one-third of the movie's total revenue. In other words, [Harry Potter - Voldemort] The peripheral income will be around 20 billion."

"Subtract one from the other, Warner Pictures' revenue is around 19 billion, not to mention the fourth installment of the [Harry Potter] series. Its impact on Warner Pictures' stock price is even more important. But even if we put all these aside, the revenue of 19 billion US dollars alone is already worth Zhang Nan's salary."

"So this paparazzi predicts here that 6.5 million is not the peak of Zhang Nan's salary. There is still a lot of room for increase in his salary."
