Chapter 289

Many things in "Source Code" have been gradually determined.

This is especially the case at the world box office. The box office revenue of 20 million US dollars is almost equivalent to 20 billion US dollars, and it is equivalent to [-] billion RMB. A large part of such terrifying income will go to Deep Space Film and Television.

The box office share or movie buyout agreement between Deep Space Film and Television is different from different places, so so much money will go to Deep Space Film and Television according to different share.

Calculated in this way, "Source Code" has received 2.6 million box office share in the world except China, and 5 million box office share in China. In this way, the total score of "Source Code" is added up. The achievement has reached more than [-] million and close to [-] million. Such a good share will greatly relieve the financial pressure that Deep Space Film and Television is facing now.

The current financial pressure of Deep Space Film and Television is indeed too great. The spread of many stalls makes people feel very scary. Even if some factories cannot be replenished in time, they are likely to be shut down, and the consequences will be quite serious. Tragic, it also makes people feel unable to look directly.

In this way, Chen Xi and the others felt almost crazy for wanting to get money.

Everything is just too annoying.

Now, after a while, Chen Xi's source code has finally been realized.

Such a terrifying income has also become the most profitable Chinese film this year.

However, the matter is not limited to now. In fact, the overseas copyright of this film and some domestic copyrights are sold, which are not counted in the box office share, but the money is not a lot. On the contrary, there is still a certain amount. It can also make many other film companies feel envious and don't know what to say.

In the United States, "Source Code" has obtained many other copyright benefits besides the movie box office. In fact, many movies in the United States have quite amazing copyright benefits. With such a terrifying figure, it is no wonder that Hollywood blockbusters are sweeping the entire world, and their film investment costs can also be higher and higher.

That's how it is a lot of the time.

Comparing Chinese movies with Hollywood, first of all, the overseas box office is the main box office for their movies, but the box office for Chinese movies is basically the global box office.Secondly, the box office income of Hollywood movies only accounts for a small part of the total income, but basically the box office income in China is all income, and this gap is naturally becoming wider and wider.

The "Source Code" in the United States mainly sold out the DVD rights and the rights to adapt comics and TV series...Chen Xi felt that the right to adapt comics was meaningless, and it seemed that such things would not be of much use in creating comics... Could it be? Get a superhero out?
But the right to adapt a TV series is available. There is still a way to adapt "Source Code" into a TV series. Of course, one episode and one flashback will make people feel that there is no way to accept it, but the screenwriters in the United States are very good. Maybe they really do Can you create a story that is suitable for a TV series but is inextricably linked to "Source Code"?
DVD copyright, "Source Code" directly got 1500 million US dollars, this is a rather scary figure, even many people will be surprised, because this is more than a figure of "Source Code" in the North American box office.

However, the DVD prospect of "Source Code" is indeed relatively broad. This kind of movie can attract the love and attention of many movie fans. What's more, this movie has a pretty good evaluation in North America, and it also has a pretty good evaluation in Europe. , and the 1500 million US dollars was also obtained by selling the DVD copyrights in North America, Europe, and Japan...

Countries and regions such as North America, Europe, and Japan are the main areas for DVD purchase and rental. Many people in these places are better at watching movies on DVD, and the development of high-definition Blu-ray technology has been relatively mature in the past two years. Movies will be more liked and appreciated.

In addition, there are other copyrights in North America, TV broadcasting and other copyrights have also been sold out. Anyway, Chen Xi does not have those channels here, and these things can only be discussed later. "North America sold a terrifying figure of 1700 million US dollars...

In Europe and other places, after all, most of the DVD copyrights are sold to North America, so other copyrights in these places may be more directly sold to a country and region, so in these places, "Source Code" sold a total of The copyright price of about 300 million US dollars was gone.

In China, the main thing is to sell the TV broadcasting rights of movies, as well as the adaptation rights of novels and DVD copyrights in some places.

DVD copyrights are not very popular in China. The reason is...the piracy is too strong. After all, not many people can buy expensive DVDs to watch.

The video-on-demand rights of "Source Code" are naturally exclusive to Deep Space Film and Television. So far, except for other companies participating in the investment and the investment scale is particularly large, and things that are strongly requested, all film and television works of Deep Space Film and Television, basically On the Internet, the copyright of online video-on-demand is left on the deep space video website.

Therefore, in China, if the copyright price of "Source Code" is converted into US dollars, it is about 100 million US dollars...

In this way, "Source Code" still earned nearly 1.5 million yuan in revenue worldwide, and these plus the previous box office share, in the end "Source Code" earned a terrifying income of 7.4 million yuan for Deep Space Film and Television.

A movie earns 7.4 million!
When the income from "Source Code" was calculated, there were a bunch of red-eyed people everywhere in China, and many people felt a strong sense of shock now, oh my god!So much money for a movie!

You know, domestic movies, let alone earning [-] million, even if they want to get [-] million at the box office, it is almost an impossible task.

As a result, now a "Source Code" really let everyone see how powerful Chen Xi is.

...When "Source Code" was released in full swing, "Avatar" also began to come to China, and it also got a terrible box office in China. The difficulty of getting tickets for "Avatar" was even comparable to the Spring Festival travel season!

In this way, "Avatar" won the box office championship in mainland China without any suspense, and got a box office of 13 billion yuan.

In this way, domestic films were directly kicked down by "Avatar" in the box office rankings of mainland China's movies without even sitting on their buttocks.

But Chen Xi has no complaints about this, and feels that it should be taken for granted. "Avatar" is a movie against the sky. It has brought a revolutionary change to the movie industry and let everyone know the future of movies. The direction of development, especially the redefinition of 3D movies, will obviously affect the human film industry for decades.

This kind of movie deserves such a high status.

If it is a super bad movie like "Fast and Furious 7", especially a movie like "Transformers 4" that pointed at the Chinese people's nose and still hit the box office of 20 billion, it would really make people angry, of course this It is also because Chinese film skills are not as good as others. There is no way to do it, but it is always infuriating.

But when it comes to "Avatar", Chen Xi really doesn't have much anger. This movie may not be particularly outstanding in terms of literature and art, and the protagonist as a ball traitor will make some people feel uncomfortable, but this movie is epoch-making It is enough to kill everything. The only pity is that this movie did not appear in five years. If it is five years later... then in the Chinese market, it is impossible not to make a 3 million US dollars.

...Of course, "Avatar" also made Chinese filmmakers worried, and some people who have strong feelings for domestic films also worried.

Many people regard Chinese movies as synonymous with rubbish, and even compare them to Chinese football. This is obviously very unfair. They think that watching some good foreign movies can give them advice, and they use movies that trample on their compatriots to show their compulsion .

Of course, there are more and more people in China who like to make bad movies opportunistically to make money, but after all, there are still some people who want to make good movies. Not to mention more every year, but there will be at least one or two Chinese-language movies. Ten good films, of course, this is not a lot, but it is by no means as unbearable as some extreme people imagined.

"Avatar" gave many Chinese filmmakers a head start. While they were surprised that our mainland market has such a high box office possibility, they also saw the turbulent tide behind it: even if the box office market in mainland China is the world's No. [-] so what?If the quality of domestic movies and the enthusiasm for watching movies don't improve, it's just making wedding dresses for others.

As a result, "Avatar" is now bringing a lot of debates in China, and many people are fighting among them. Some passionate people, especially some film school students, may already have a kind of foreign enemy like the late Ming and Qing dynasties. They also have a special sense of mission. They feel that they have to shoulder some heavy responsibilities like the young people who wanted to save the nation from the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China to the Anti-Japanese War. of).

In this kind of debate, Chen Xi's name is constantly being brought up, and many people use him as an example of attacking opponents during the debate. After all, "Source Code" before "Avatar" also showed everyone the power of Chinese movies.

In the midst of such influence, many people have paid attention to Chen Xi and want to hear his opinion on this matter. Many college students even want to directly recommend themselves to Chen Xi, chasing after him with enthusiasm. own ideal.

Facing these things, Chen Xi didn't say much.

He's been a lot busy lately.

First of all, because at the 2009 to 2010 mark, a lot of things are now being liquidated, especially the entire company.

In this way, the company still held an annual meeting as in previous years. Many people with important positions came to the scene to participate in such an annual meeting. This meeting mainly summarized the results of last year and then started Take a look into the future.

At this time, "Source Code" has not been fully completed, and it is still being screened all over the world. However, after evaluation, it is probably calculated that "Source Code" should be able to earn 5-8 million yuan worldwide, which is quite a huge number. Many of the bank loans owed must be paid out from here, and many gaps in construction must be filled with this.

In the face of such a thing, Chen Xi is also the first and the second big.

Last year, Deep Space Film and Television earned a total of more than 5 million RMB (excluding "Source Code") through various film and television works and other businesses. Such a strong profitability is comparable to other domestic film and television companies. It can be said that it is quite good, but the problem is that last year, the company spent almost 3 million on the construction of the deep space video network, and the video site is now such an era of staking, even if So much money has been spent, but it hasn't made a lot of splashes, and although the investment of 3 million yuan has been invested, the real return is only less than 1 million yuan...

This is a headache for many people. In 2010, video sites will continue to become money-sucking black holes. This is obvious. Although Deep Space Film and Television has made great achievements this year, it is only a one-year-old video site. Now that it has ranked among the first-class video sites such as PPS and Youku Tudou, and has taken a leading step in self-made dramas, these things are enough.

Many things in the domestic online self-media are still in the stage of feeling the stones and crossing the river, and the business model has not been opened up at all. Under such circumstances, money has to be thrown down.

In addition, the construction of movie theaters started in various places last year also cost more than 6 million yuan. However, in the first-tier cities across the country, the theater chain system of Deep Space Film and Television has basically been rolled out. No franchise has been started, but these movie theaters basically belong to Deep Space Film and Television...

There are other things to start with. Anyway, last year’s Deep Space Film and Television even lost about 3 million if you don’t count “Source Code”. This is the company’s first year of losses. Of course, after the income from “Source Code” returns, these They can all be blocked, but Chen Xi is too ambitious, and he still has to staking land in the coming year, and the bank loan will still be repaid and then loaned out immediately.

In this way, the next year will also be an extremely critical year for the development of Deep Space Film and Television. If Chen Xi does not survive this year, then although Chen Xi will not be ruined, the company will be in trouble all of a sudden. .

However, it is really too difficult for the company to maintain its strength even though it continues to expand. Anyone else would think that Chen Xi is really crazy!
Faced with this situation, how should one break the situation?
