Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

In fact, Paul Allen also mentioned in advance why the three people came here. Of course, Bao Zixuan also very much hopes to use all means to increase the popularity of Fucaira. Although he owns some oil resources and guards the Persian Gulf artery, but

These are not enough to make the country truly prosperous and strong.

Even adding industry cannot make up for everything. If you want to make the country prosperous and the people strong, you must develop in all aspects. You can completely copy some of the experience of Dubai in the previous life and make Fucairah a tourist destination in the Middle East. Fortunately, the country is not large, so it will

Bao Shoufang is still very confident about its development.

Paul Allen brought Hollywood producers, directors and stars over to give Bao Zixuan hope. Heiyun Group may not need a large advertising budget, but Fucaira really has no reputation. If you want to develop tourism,

It must be vigorously promoted. At least let the world know that there is such a place in the Middle East. And the construction of a film and television base will also be a good tourism scene in the future. Otherwise, I really don’t know where to start developing tourism in the Middle East.

Fucairah is not an ancient civilization, and it does not have as many historical buildings as Egypt and Iraq. It has no natural scenery, so if you want to develop tourism, you can only rely on other methods.

After several people sat down in Bao Zixuan's office, George Lucas said first: "Mr. Bao, the main reason we came here this time is because Fucaira discovered the treasure of Solomon's Temple; of course, the most important thing is that it contains the Holy Grail and the Golden Ark of the Covenant.

.This is a very good film and television subject, and as a practitioner, I will definitely not miss this opportunity."

"But it's a pity that the Golden Ark of the Covenant has already been used in the first Raiders of the Lost Ark, so I want to use the Holy Grail to make a fuss."

Sure enough, it was for film and television material. After all, this incident had a great impact and attracted attention from all over the world. Once the movie is made, it doesn’t even need to be promoted, and many people will definitely go to the theater to watch it.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "This is a good thing, and I would like to thank you; I just don't know how to ask Fucaila to cooperate."

Hearing that the other party was willing to cooperate, several people at the scene were very happy. After all, the Middle East is not very peaceful. If they can get Bao Zixuan's support, there will be no resistance.

Since the Holy Grail appeared in Fucairah, in order to restore authenticity, it must be filmed on the island where the treasure was found. A series of tasks such as material supply and personnel coordination need to be coordinated by Fucairah. The film is a systematic project

, if there is a problem in any link during the process, it will cause considerable losses. They are well-known figures in Hollywood, and it is absolutely impossible for them to ruin their own brands.

Steven Spielberg said with a smile: "We first need to inspect the island where the treasure was found. And where will the main shooting location be located, and at the same time we need to transform the island. After all, there is still a big difference between reality and movies.

The difference is to give the audience a better visual experience.”

"But there is one thing that is very troublesome here, and that is the strategy of transforming the island. If the filming party funds it, a temporary venue will be built at most. There are certain limits on the funds for any film and television production, and investors are definitely not willing to lose money. But

In the future, if Fucairah wants to continue to use the facilities on the island, there will be certain risks."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan certainly understood what it meant. This was because he wanted to invest in building venues on the island according to the needs of the movie scenes. The filming party can save a lot of money, and these shooting scenes can also be used as tourist attractions in the future.

Facility use.

On the surface it is a win-win operation, but there are risks involved. If the movie is finished and no one comes to travel, it will be very embarrassing. The construction side will suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, in many cases, both parties jointly finance the construction, which can be regarded as sharing the risks equally.

Bao Zixuan didn't understand this, so he said with a smile: "What do I think it is! This matter is easy to handle. Fucaira can fund the planning and construction of the island according to the director's requirements. After all, we will benefit from it in the future. With Spear

Not everyone has the honor of having director Berg shoot a promotional video."

I didn't expect Bao Zixuan to be so easy to talk to. It seems that he really wants to deal with rich people more.

Heiyun Group has not invested in the film and television industry yet, so this time may be an opportunity. Others don’t know it, but Bao Zixuan still knows it very well; Spielberg and George Lucas rarely lose money when they make movies. Of course, Hollywood movie profits

The calculation method can even confuse Wall Street, so many people are afraid to invest easily.

But Bao Zixuan didn't think about how much money he would make, as long as he could participate; wouldn't there be opportunities for his children to grow up in the future?

Bao Zixuan said very seriously: "These are all well-known celebrities in Hollywood. I want to know what the costs are for filming a movie and what the benefits are."

Is it possible that the richest man Bao is interested in the film and television industry? Otherwise, why would there be such a question? It’s not impossible, who made this guy so rich! He may not have paid attention to it before, but now that people like them are here, they may have this idea temporarily!

Everyone is looking at George Lucas. After all, among these people, he may have the most say. The old boy is not only a director, but also a producer, and he is also the boss of a film and television company.

George Lucas: "Currently, the cost of shooting a one-step movie mainly consists of four parts."

"The first is production cost; generally refers to pre- and post-production equipment costs, personnel costs, transportation costs, art costs, special effects costs, etc. This part of the capital investment mainly depends on the type of film; for example, in science fiction films, special effects investment is the main part."

"The second is the actor's salary; first-line stars, such as Mr. Harrison Ford, have exceeded 10 million U.S. dollars. Female stars with relatively high reputations and excellent acting skills will also have a salary of more than 8 million U.S. dollars. Of course, if the script is good and the director is good, the actor can

Lower some of the salary to join. After all, as an actor, when they encounter a script that impresses them and a director they can trust, they are still happy to participate."

"Thirdly, it's the director's salary; the salary of first-line directors will never be less than that of actors. For example, director Spielberg's salary will exceed 10 million US dollars, and he will also enjoy global box office dividends. Of course, in addition to the remuneration of actors and directors

, to implement various ideas, you also need to spend money to purchase them.”

"The last is the cost of publicity and distribution; publicity generally includes posters, trailers, and behind-the-scenes production; hard advertising, terminal materials, media promotion, ground activities, premieres, hiring film critics, etc. Distribution costs mainly include copy production costs, theater public relations and

Negotiation fees, etc. Strictly speaking, the theater’s box office share is also part of the distribution cost.”

"And currently, Hollywood distribution is basically in the hands of the eight major film companies. It is difficult for other companies and individuals to get involved."

"Movie box office revenue is the most important form of revenue for movies. The success or failure of most movies depends on the box office. Part of the entire movie box office revenue, about 5%, is handed over to the film fund; the other 50% or so is distributed to theaters.

For movie theaters, less than 50% of the revenue belongs to the producers and distributors. As for the producers and distributors, the share ratios are basically not much different. This is generally the case, except of course under special circumstances."

"In addition to the movie box office, there will also be some other benefits."

"The first one is the placement of advertisements in movies. Advertising placement is a very important source of income; of course, there are many categories of this kind of advertising placement. Some are scene placements, such as filming movies in this location. Some are product placements.

, usually the manufacturer’s products will be embedded in the video.”

"The second one is the royalties from selling DVDs. The current income from this aspect is also very objective."

"The third one is the income from movie derivatives; for example, the sale of a series of derivative products such as toys, clothing, school bags, etc., which is also part of the income. It can also be related to licensing. Of course, Disney does better in these, while other companies are relatively poor.

Some; the income from movie derivatives is still quite large, sometimes higher than the box office."

In his previous life, Bao Zixuan knew some insider information about movie profits. After all, he was not an insider, he only knew a superficial knowledge. George Lucas was indeed a professional, and his analysis was quite accurate.

However, Bao is not very satisfied with the cost of publicity and distribution. For companies that have just started and small directors, the six major film companies are so strong. In fact, monopolies will exist in every country and industry; some are one company, and some are several.

company; it’s just not reported.

Bao is still very interested in the income from movie derivatives; if the movie can cooperate with toy companies to promote products, I believe sales will not be bad.
