Chapter 551 The film market and Zhang Yiyi and Zhang Liang in early 2012

Mid-January 2012.

North American Film Market.

[Mission: Impossible 4] has been released in North America for nearly a month. The weak box office trend is visible to the naked eye, but the cumulative box office has exceeded million US dollars as before.

The global box office outside North America and Mainland China has exceeded everyone's expectations. So far, "Mission: Impossible 4" has accumulated more than 4 million U.S. dollars in box office.

In other words, the current total global box office of [Mission: Impossible 4] has exceeded 6 million US dollars.

For a time, Tom Cruise's acting career has ushered in a second spring.

Suddenly.

Zhang Nan's reputation as a box office mascot has become louder again.

After all, the name and status of a Hollywood superstar are really valuable and attractive.

And Tom Cruise's state in recent years doesn't look like he can rely on his own strength to reach glory again.

After all, Tom Hanks and Will Smith, who are in the same category, are not having a good time right now.

Think about it again. After Chenglong retired in a low-key manner and signed a contract with Zhang Nan's Longbow Film and Television, he actually made a successful comeback and transformed.

People have to put most of the credit for Tom Cruise's success on Zhang Nan's head.

Of course.

Tom Cruise himself had similar thoughts, so much so that he didn’t dare to say anything when Zhang Nan took advantage of him in terms of profits from Mission: Impossible 4.

You must know that Tom Cruise is not a good person. In order to make money, the bottom line is quite low. Even cults dare to play with it.

Yes.

Most of the profits from [Mission: Impossible 4] were basically taken by Zhang Nan.

The original investment in "Mission: Impossible 4" was Zhang Nan's Longbow Pictures and Paramount on a - basis. Then Zhang Nan made a two-minute cameo, and Tom Cruise received % of the box office share and %. Ten DVDs are divided into ten, and theaters receive % of the box office share.

The final box office revenue ratio is: Tom Cruise 15%, Zhang Nan 2%, Longbow Pictures 26.6%, Paramount 11.4%, theater Line 45 percent.

Among them, Tom Cruise still has 20% of the DVD share, Zhang Nan also has 2%, and the remaining 78%, Longbow Pictures and Paramount Pictures split 73%.

After all, for a movie like [Mission: Impossible 4], apart from the copyright and DVDs, there is nothing to sell around it.

You can't sell those agent equipment.

I don’t have the strength to sell it.

So DVDs are basically the bulk of the peripheral income of [Mission: Impossible 4].

Then Zhang Nan directly paid 70 million US dollars to win Tom Cruise's 15% global box office share and 20% of the video disc share contract.

Then the entire "Mission: Impossible 4" project revenue changed from what it was before to Zhang Nanfang's exclusive share of % of the box office share and % of the peripheral revenue.

Judging from the current situation of "Mission: Impossible 4", if Zhang Nan stays in the mainland again, she will work harder for "Mission: Impossible 4".

So it is easy to push [Mission: Impossible 4] from the original global box office of 6.94 million US dollars to 7 million US dollars.

Thus.

In terms of box office share alone, Zhang Nan was able to earn US$3.05 million in revenue. Excluding the US$7000 million in production fees, the net income was as high as US$2.35 million.

Then there are the peripheral benefits of [Mission: Impossible 4].

Although due to the limited subject matter, the global box office of 7 million U.S. dollars and the peripheral income of 3.5 million U.S. dollars are still appropriate.

This is another revenue of $2.681 million.

Throwing away the $7000 million I spent to buy Tom Cruise, I still have nearly $ million in profits.

In this way, Zhang Nan almost made a net profit of more than 4 million U.S. dollars in "Mission: Impossible " just by investing some money in it, and he also took the opportunity to find Liu Tianwang a blockbuster film contract, which can be said to be a success in one fell swoop. Of course.

The reason why Tom Cruise was able to accept this result was not only because of Zhang Nan's reputation as the box office mascot, but also because of his fixed salary of 7000 million U.S. dollars, plus the million U.S. dollars buyout contract given by Zhang Nan. I made a profit of nearly million US dollars, which is quite satisfying.

……

Simultaneously.

Mainland movie market at the end of January.

At this time, the box office trends of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Flying Swords" have also begun to enter a weak stage after more than a month of screening.

The single-day box office has dropped by less than five million yuan, to about three million yuan, and it is even falling rapidly.

Theaters are also adjusting the screening rates of the two films in a timely manner. The screening rates of both films at this time have been reduced to about one-tenth of what they were at the time of release, which is about 3%.

But the two films basically made a lot of money.

The cumulative box office of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has just exceeded the 500 million yuan mark, while the cumulative box office of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is even better, and it seems to be hitting the 600 million yuan box office threshold.

But if you really calculate it, the income of the two films is not very good.

Without it.

The former "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" spent 9000 million yuan to hire Li Lianlian to star, while the latter "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" spent 1.2 million yuan to hire Christian Bale to star.

According to the rules of the mainland film market, only one-third of the box office is the profit of the producer.

[Flying Swords of Dragon Gate] has a box office of more than 500 million yuan, but the actual revenue is only about 180 million yuan in profit.

[Jinling Thirteen Hairpins] has a box office of nearly 600 million yuan, but the actual revenue is less than 200 million yuan.

Then take into account the production costs and the superstar's salary, and the entire film is basically for nothing.

Of course.

This is certainly not the case.

Because of the current mainland film market environment, producers have automatically developed a special revenue-generating method.

That is, when there are no peripherals for the movie and it is difficult to see the box office, the idea is to pay for the production fee.

The leader among them is Chen Straw Hat.

Of course, there are also more fierce characters, who directly start sleeping in, laundering money, and financializing film and television. They just want money but not home. If the limelight is not right, they will run away immediately.

The best one here is Boss Jia, who is stifled by his dreams.

But there are too many who are not outstanding.

For example, Boss Shi has one hand in the stock market and one hand in the [Ip Man] series. When it is booming, it is really tempting, but when the secret is exposed, it is really helpless.

But Zhang Nan didn't care much about the ups and downs in the global film market in January. During this month, Zhang Nan focused on the two little lives that had just been born.

At this time, the two little lives also had names.

The eldest daughter was named Zhang Yiyi by Zhang Nan, which sounded nice and had some homophonic sounds.

Zhang Nan knows that he will definitely have many children in the future. After all, the total amount of his seafood market is there, one for each market, and they all start in double digits.

When there are too many, the names become difficult to remember.

Therefore, Zhang Nan even discussed the ranking of children, regardless of gender.

Therefore, the second young master was named Zhang Liang, which is homophonic to Zhang Liang. After all, if it is homophonic to Zhang Er, it would be a bit too Er.
