How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 833 [囧Mom]’s guaranteed release goes awry Wuling’s slogan is to create what everyone needs
Longbow Film and Television City, inside the villa.

In the living room on the first floor, Zhang Nan received a call from Xu Guangtou, who was urgently seeking medical attention.

The purpose is also very simple, for the sake of [people on the embarrassing journey of the embarrassing mother].

"Why are you anxious? Didn't you sign a guaranteed box office agreement with Hengdian Pictures? Hengdian Pictures should be the one who should be anxious!" Zhang Nan didn't understand Bald Xu's anxiety.

Because of the release of the movie "Journey to the Road", a box office guarantee agreement of RMB 2.4 billion has been signed with Hengdian Pictures.

Compared with the guaranteed issuance fee of 2.8 billion for last year's "Crazy Alien", it is 400 million yuan less.

Even though the amount is 400 million less, in fact, the 2.4 billion yuan box office guarantee agreement obtained by "Journey to the Road" is better.

Because the content of this guarantee agreement is like this.

Hengdian Pictures will provide RMB 1.5 billion in distribution fees for "Journey to the Road" at its own expense, and then directly give RMB 600 million to the producer of "Journey to the Road: Mom" ​​before the movie is released. guaranteed fee.

Wait until the cumulative box office of "Unfortunate Journey: Lost Mom" ​​exceeds RMB 2.4 billion.

Moreover, in the project "Unfortunately", Xu Zheng, the producer, not only made a guaranteed profit of RMB 600 million out of the RMB 2.4 billion in box office, but he also ensured that he would not lose any money.

Because for 30 million yuan, you definitely can’t shoot [People on the Road to the Embarrassing Mother].

Among them, the director's fee is 8700 million, the producer's fee is million, the screenwriter's fee is million, and the starring fee is million, a total of million yuan.

The smaller the guaranteed fee, the easier it is to achieve it, and the more money you can get in the future.

In terms of film production, Xu Zheng also took a serious bite.

This is a net profit of 30 million yuan in production fees.

Moreover, Like Pictures also spent an additional RMB 100 million in production fees for third-party payment for Xu Zheng during the filming of "囧囧囧马".

So with the guarantee of a minimum fee of 600 million yuan.

But of this 2.17 million yuan, Xu Zheng’s share accounted for more than half.

Therefore, although the movie "Awkward Mom" ​​claims to have a production fee of 2.17 million yuan, at least 2.17 million yuan of the 1.17 million yuan production fee was collected by Xu Zheng alone.

In the end, Xu Zheng still had the right hand, and asked Like Pictures to place the production of "囧囧路之囧Mom" in his own independent company, Daolezhen Pictures.

The total production cost of "Unfortunate Mom" ​​is 2.17 million yuan, which seems to be a lot.

Because according to the announcement, Xu Zheng served as multiple positions in "Lost on Journey: Lost in Russia" including director, producer, screenwriter and leading actor.

It doesn't look like it's worth the 100 million yuan production fee. Maybe these people won't get paid and they will act purely as a friendship.

The remaining RMB 100 million production fee...

Watching Huang Bo, Song Dabao, the worthless Jia Bing, Yuan Quan, Guo Jingfei... and others who made cameo appearances as Easter eggs in "The Lost Journey: Awkward Mom".

After calculating the initial guarantee fee of RMB 600 million, the remaining income will be divided according to Hengdian Pictures' 35% and the producers of "Journey to the Road" 65%.

Moreover, the previous "Two Tigers" starring Uncle Ge and Qiao Xiyu, the scene was no smaller than "The Lost Mother", and the final total investment was only 5000 million.

Therefore, this movie "Awkward Mom" ​​has only been filmed but has not been released yet. Xu Zheng has already made a profit of at least 1.17 million yuan and a maximum of 1.67 million yuan.

Moreover, the revenue of 1.17 million to 1.67 million yuan does not need to give Zhang Nan a % box office dividend. If we also include Hengdian Pictures’ million yuan in underwriting fees in the billion guaranteed distribution contract.

So Xu Zheng directly earned 5.67 million to 6.17 million yuan this time.

"Director Zhang, Hengdian Pictures said that it was due to force majeure, so they negotiated with me to terminate the 2.4 billion guaranteed distribution cooperation for "Journey to the Road: Lost Mom".

But...it's said that it was terminated through negotiation, but it's Hengdian Pictures, and I like the owner of the film company and one of the owners. Can I refuse? "Xu Zheng said with a bitter voice.

Zhang Nan still didn't take it seriously when he heard this.

After all, even if the underwriting fee is reduced by 1.17 million yuan, Xu Zheng's current income is only between 1.67 million yuan and million yuan.

only……

"I heard that Hengdian Pictures has invested RMB 1.5 billion in promotional expenses for [Journey to the Road: Lost Mom]. This is RMB 1.5 billion, and it is still within the current film and television industry. In this kind of environment, Hengdian Pictures doesn't feel any pain at all?" Zhang Nan asked with some confusion.

Xu Zheng on the other side of the phone had no hair on his head, otherwise he would burst into anger.

“What the hell is a RMB 1.5 billion announcement, a bunch of internet celebrities, all of them affiliated companies of Hengdian Pictures, maybe those tens of millions of fans and traffic are all cost-effective.

And it is said to be for [People in the Journey to the Lost Mother] to promote, but what the hell is to ask my [People in the Journey to the Lost Mother] to help them hype Internet celebrities and attract traffic in the opposite direction. "

"..."

Zhang Nan was a little speechless when he heard this, and said: "Then why are you calling me like this?
Under normal circumstances, I have the ability to mobilize relations and let Hengdian Pictures continue to perform the contract, but now that the movie theaters are closed, there is nothing I can do! "

"Director Zhang, I heard that your VR viewing helmets have been sold out of demand recently?" Xu Zheng on the other side of the phone suddenly changed the subject and said.

Zhang Nan nodded when he heard this and said: "It is true that the supply exceeds the demand. The remaining 700,000 units of the 1.1 million units earlier were sold out at the beginning of the month, excluding the hundreds of thousands units that I supported for the thoroughfare of nine provinces.

Now workers in OEM companies are given a helmet each, and they work overtime. The daily output has just climbed to 5300 units, but sales orders have been placed days later.

However, it should not take 10,000 days, because the current production capacity of this machine is also rising rapidly. It is estimated that at the beginning of next month, the daily production capacity will exceed 10,000, and next month, it will exceed 100,000. "

Speaking of the rapid increase in output, Zhang Nan was a little proud and excited.

We are proud of the strength of the mainland's industrial system, which is indeed a bit too strong.

Of course.

This is also affected by the global health crisis. Many factories in the mainland have shut down, freeing up productivity.

And there are many factories. In order to quickly get Zhang Nan’s VR viewing helmet to use as a work helmet, after all, in the current environment, if you are waiting to buy it from others, it is better to directly obtain authorization from Zhang Nan to make it yourself. , proactively joined the OEM chain of producing VR viewing helmets.

Among them are some top industrial manufacturers, such as Wuling, JAC, Geely and other major brands in the mainland automobile industry.

Wuling, in particular, directly uses the slogan that Wuling will make whatever everyone needs.

It's just that Wuling in the original time and space used this slogan to make masks, and this time it made an evolved version of the mask - a helmet.

But Wuling still gained a lot of public favorability.
