Entertainment: Starting from child stars

Chapter 623: The inside story of box office sharing!!

“Next is the crew lunch box. Calculating two meals a day, the price of the lunch box for each person is 20 yuan for two meals a day, 6,000 for one day, 180,000 for one month, and 900,000 for five months.”

“With the total crew of 300 employees, wages, food and accommodation, the total expenditure for filming this drama is 10.65 million;”

“So the remuneration, salary, food and accommodation for this movie, the total cost of filming a movie is just over 50 million. If I also want to get paid, according to my worth, it must be at least 20 million; the good thing is that I You don’t need to pay for your own movie, saving 20 million”

“As for the remaining cost of about 950 million, as mentioned just now, one month of special effects production costs 100 million, and 8 months is 800 million. The remaining 150 million is still needed. The salary of the post-production editor, as well as the cost of publicity”

“The cost of 100 million is basically used in this way.”

Luo Shao calculated this account clearly for all the viewers and let them know why science fiction films need to burn so much money.

“Does Xuanfa cost so much? What are the main areas of spending?”

Xie La, who didn’t understand, asked Luo Shao

“There are many, including film materials, theater promotional materials, media promotions, events, posters, etc.”

“For example, you see the stand-up posters in the cinema, the posters on the walls of the cinema, or the electronic screen trailers and posters in the cinema. These are all areas where money is spent on publicity.”

“There are also some movie promotion activities. Since it is an event, a host must be hired. At the same time, there will be security guards to maintain order during the event.”

“These are all areas where money is spent on film promotion and distribution. The exact amount depends on the situation and the scale.”

“《The promotion of”Spider-Man” cost about 100 million, which is already considered a small amount.”

“Some movies may cost two to three billion in promotion and distribution alone.”

After Luo Shao told these inside stories, the audience realized that a movie requires such a large investment. The same was true for the Happy Family. When they learned this, they were also very surprised.

“Of course, I don’t have to worry about everything. It must be someone from the company who is responsible.”

“If I came alone, I would be exhausted.”

As he said this, Luo Shao shook his head.

“Understood.”

The whole Happy Family understands, really understands why Luo Shao is under so much pressure, and finally understands why Luo Shao never releases albums. They are all so busy now, if they still release albums, then Don’t you have to be even more tired?

“Then I’m curious, why do you think a movie’s box office needs to be three times the cost of the movie to make its money back?”

Weijia asked his own question, which he also couldn’t understand.

“Simple. Luo

Shao replied Weijia:”The box office share of the movie is 5% from the film development fund, 3.3% business tax, 50% from the theater chain, and the rest is for production and distribution.””

“Take the 1 billion box office calculation; the film fund will be divided into 55 million, the business tax will be divided into 33 million, the theater will be divided into 500 million, which is already 588 million, and the remaining 412 million is for the production and distribution side”

“If the production cost of this 1 billion box office movie is 500 million, then the remaining 412 million will not even be able to recover the cost. At the same time, you still have to pay taxes on these 412 million. How much the tax is? situation, because taxes are different, it’s hard to say”

“So, if the production cost of a movie with a box office of 1 billion is 300 million, the remaining 412 million, after deducting the cost of 300 million, will deduct the tax from the remaining 112 million; the remaining box office is 20 to 30 million. The producers made money”

“Wow~”

(We will stop updating novels on this site, move to our new site: https://readwn.com////)

The audience was even more surprised now, this is too.

“So for a movie like”Spider-Man” with an investment of 100 million, wouldn’t it take a box office of 3 billion to make back the money?”

“Yes.”

Luo Shao admitted, it is indeed true.

“Just like”Transformers”, which also invested 100 million, the final global box office was more than 1.1 billion U.S. dollars; in exchange, the box office was less than 7 billion RMB.”

“Take 7 billion for calculation; 5% movie fund share is 350 million; 3.3% business tax share is 231 million; theater chain share is 3.5 billion; then these three items will share 4.081 billion of the 7 billion box office”

“From the remaining 2.919 billion, I have to deduct the cost of 1 billion, plus the taxes I need to pay; in the end, the actual profit is only a billion, not as much as you think.”

Now everyone was stunned. This is too scary.

“In this case, wouldn’t movie theaters make more money?”

My son didn’t understand either, so he asked Luo Shao

“Haha~”

Many people will have this idea

“In fact, that’s not the case. You say a movie with a box office of 100 million and a movie with a box office of tens of millions actually take about the same amount of time to play, and they both require so much time and material resources.”

“If every movie has a box office of more than 100 million, the theater will certainly make a profit from the box office.”

“But that doesn’t mean that every movie’s box office can be so high.”

“Cinema rental fees, electricity fees, and labor costs must also be calculated.”

“Although it is true that the box office is high, this is only possible when a movie like”Transformers” explodes at the box office, and movie theaters have off-season every year.”

“But during the off-season, it’s impossible for the cinema to be closed, right?”

“During the off-season, the box office is sluggish and theaters are losing money.”

“That’s why we have the so-called film schedule; for movies with a good reputation and high commercial value, movie theaters will schedule more films for this movie.”

“As the number of films scheduled increases, the box office revenue will naturally increase, and the theaters will receive more shares.”，”These are all multi-faceted and cannot be viewed superficially.”

“As I just said, it is true that the global box office of”Transformers” is 700 million, and it is true that I invested 100 million. On the surface, I made 6 billion from this box office, but in fact, after dividing it, I actually earned It’s not as much as everyone thinks. Only when you understand it, you will find that the water in this industry is not as shallow as you think. When Luo

Shao said this, he gave another example:”Of course, there are also very profitable movies.”

“For example, Thai囧 invested about 50 million, and the box office was 1.2 billion. According to the 40% box office share, that would be 480 million. After deducting the cost of 50 million and tens of millions of taxes, it would be possible to invest 50 million and earn 400 million.”

“But a small-budget, big-box-office movie like this is almost impossible to come by. When one is released, of course everyone laughs and laughs. But this kind of movie can only be found in our Chinese film industry, no, I should say in the global film industry., how many can appear?”

“Bang bang bang~”

When Luo Shao finished speaking these details, all the audience applauded.
