Entertainment: Start from the unexpected

This is not a "false account" deliberately reported by Mo Wen. He said that he hired a foreign post-production company to do the post-production costs. The price was 10 million. The money was owed first. After the Crazy Stone box office was divided, it would be

Break into the overseas account of that post-production company.

In fact, it is Mo Wen's anonymous account overseas. This account will be used exclusively to receive the fees for post-production or special effects produced by him using the system.

As long as Mowen uses the system to produce post-production movies or TV series, whether it is an order from his own earth studio or another company outside, as long as Mowen uses the system to complete the work, it will be based on the post-production company's

It is done in name, and the remuneration received will also be credited to this anonymous account.

Don't hear that this is done for the eunuch's ears and eyes.

The second step is to leave a way out for himself. If something happens in the future, the money in this account will allow him to live a very comfortable life, or Mo Wen can use this money to make a comeback.

Although it was announced that the total investment in Crazy Stone was 15 million, in fact, only 5 million was actually spent, and the remaining 10 million was just transferred by Mo Wen to his overseas bearer account.

.

In addition to expenses, this account also includes income statistics.

Currently, Crazy Stone has only been shown in theaters, so it only gets a share of the box office from the theaters.

As for uploading it to Huaxia Video Network to earn free income, or distributing it to other continents, it will take a while.

In order to ensure the income of cinemas, newly released movies have to wait a month before they can be uploaded to China Video for free viewing.

Otherwise, if everyone doesn’t spend money to buy movie tickets or go to the cinema to watch it, but waits to watch it for free on China Video, then how can the producers and cinemas make money?

With one month of release time and one month of cooling time after release, it will take two months to wait for free movies online.

In this way, viewers who want to watch but can't wait will buy movie tickets and go to the cinema to watch. Moreover, watching movies in the cinema, whether it is the viewing experience or the atmosphere, is not as good as watching movies at home on mobile phones and computers.

of.

Therefore, most people who like to watch movies still prefer to go to the cinema to watch movies.

As for the kind of viewers who don’t want to watch it, no matter how long you wait, they won’t buy movie tickets to watch it, nor will they wait until there are free resources to watch it.

Of course, there are those who go out of their way to see free resources. But such people are still relatively rare.

As for distributing it to other continents, Mo Wen has no idea at all, so he will not specifically contact the relevant departments to release overseas versions.

This Crazy Stone is originally a niche comedy movie and is not suitable for overseas distribution at all. If it is translated into a foreign language version, it will become even more nondescript.

The overseas box office revenue collected by then will not be enough for Mo Wen to pay the distribution expenses. How can Mo Wen do such a loss-making business?

Distributing overseas versions is not like distributing in China, where a movie can be released in theaters as long as it is reviewed by relevant departments.

After all, the relevant distribution departments and movie theaters are state-owned, and both producers and distributors make money when they are distributed domestically.

To release an overseas version, the relevant distribution department will need to contact foreign cinemas, and the box office will then be distributed to foreign cinema companies.

After paying taxes on the remaining box office revenue, it belongs to the producer and the relevant distribution department.

However, the box office performance of many movies abroad is not very satisfactory, and the final box office share received is not enough to cover the operating expenses of the relevant distribution department.

So later the relevant distribution departments began to change the overseas distribution methods.

The relevant distribution department will help you distribute overseas according to the requirements of the producer, and charge fees according to the region. As for how much box office share you will receive overseas, it depends on the producer's own luck.

If your movie explodes at the overseas box office, congratulations, you have made money, and the relevant distribution department will also help you get back your overseas box office share.

If your movie is a hit abroad, even if you lose money, you still have nothing to do with the relevant distribution department. Anyway, they have already charged you for overseas distribution and have made corresponding profits. They

We will only finish our work and collect your box office share from you.

No matter what, the relevant issuing departments will not suffer losses.

The distribution fee is also very expensive. If it's Zhongzhou Continent, it's fine. It's just distributed to a few neighboring small countries. The price is relatively cheap. You only charge a distribution fee of 5 million, and your movie can be distributed throughout Zhongzhou Continent.

Released in all small countries.

To distribute to other continents, the issuance fee for one continent is 20 million. If it is distributed to all the other four continents, the fee is 80 million.

If other small countries in the Zhongzhou Continent are included in the global issuance, an additional 85 million in issuance fees will need to be paid to the relevant issuance departments.

If your movie is distributed globally and the overseas box office fails in the end, the overseas box office share you receive in the end will not be enough to cover your distribution expenses.

Therefore, if there is no absolute certainty, generally producers will not distribute globally. At most, they will distribute in Zhongzhou Continent to those surrounding small countries. In this way, the distribution cost will be much lower, and the chance of making money in surrounding small countries will also be lower.

It will be much larger.

Of course, there are also speculative companies that come to producers to buy the overseas rights to movies they are optimistic about.

When the time comes, they take the copyright and go to the relevant distribution department for overseas distribution. Whether they make money or lose money depends on their vision.

Producers can also earn an additional amount of overseas copyright fees without taking risks.

It's just that although Crazy Stone has become a dark horse at the box office in China, there are no speculative companies coming to Mo Wen to buy overseas copyrights, and Mo Wen himself has no idea of ​​releasing an overseas version.

Therefore, Crazy Stone currently only earns a share of the box office revenue from theaters.

After 31 days of release in August, Crazy Stone finally earned a total box office of 1.82 billion. This was more than 300 million higher than the previous predictions.

The box office of 1.82 billion, after deducting all movie taxes, is 10% of the total box office. The total is 182 million, and there is still 1.638 billion left in the end.

These box office profits belong to the producer and the cinema, with each party accounting for the remaining 50%.
