The Director of Music Department

Under normal circumstances, a movie, especially a domestic movie, can almost pay back its cost if the box office exceeds 3 times its cost.

Of course, this statement is relatively one-sided and inaccurate.

Because this is only calculated from the revenue shared by the domestic movie box office.

But in fact, the income of the movie is definitely not only the box office, even for Huaguo.

There are also network rights, TV rights, DVD rights and so on.

As for co-productions, in this regard, there are actually more channels for income.

Therefore, it seems that co-productions seem to cost more, but in fact, there are reasons for this.

Because co-productions can benefit from more channels.

But the amount of income in this area is also linked to the box office.

When Hollywood is at its best, the box office can even account for 30% or even less of its revenue.

But note that this ratio is based on a complete distribution channel.

If it is just an independent film, then it is definitely impossible to have such a high income, and the proportion of box office income will be greatly increased.

Because the income in other aspects will be greatly reduced, especially for independent film labels, most of the time, in fact, the distribution company will first have to sever blood.

Secondly, like all aspects, the income from various channels, most of the time, is just a one-shot deal.

This is why independent labels often go bankrupt because a movie loses money.

Anti-risk ability is too low.

The giants are different. A movie loses money, and they can slowly realize part of the cost through long-term profits and offline channels.

Hollywood giants, the biggest income is often those film libraries, the richer the film library, the higher their stable income.

Even if you lose a few movies, you won't go bankrupt or something.

At the same time, Hollywood giants, because they control all aspects of distribution channels, they usually make a platter in terms of film investment.

Even movies with a high success rate are the same, euphemistically called diluting risks and sharing benefits.

But actually?

Many people may not understand. Since they know that movies will make money, why do they share them? Will the giants lack those funds?

Certainly not, but why do they still give up their investment share so generously?

In fact, this is the most correct approach.

And others can't learn it at all, because you invested in their film, which is, yes, a high-quality project.

But actually?

Investors can share benefits. For example, in terms of movie box office revenue, many people may say that Hollywood accounts, but in fact, they really don’t.

Most Hollywood tycoons no longer do this kind of thing, because their reputations are bad, and they can't attract investment.

But actually?

When investing, most foreign investors can only enjoy a small part of the income.

Box office revenue sharing, this is one aspect. Then it is divided into other channels.

The box office is divided into this side, because it is relatively transparent, so most of the time, Hollywood giants will not do anything.

But in fact, you may make money, and the giants will never lose money, because first of all, among the box office share, they will take the distribution share first.

Then divide it in proportion.

This is basically the benefit that most investors can share.

The rest of the benefits of various channels, sorry, may be distributed to investors, but the big head is basically the giants.

In other words, this is a typical chicken and egg.

The copyright of the film belongs to the giants, and the same goes for other copyrights. They will make a one-shot deal and sell it directly to their subsidiaries. The price will definitely not be too high.

So in fact, it seems that Ahri Media formed an alliance with the film industry and invested 320 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to 2 billion Chinese currency. The cost of filming "The Explorer Pok? The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is really high.

Because Ari Media is better in China, with almost all channels, but in North America, Alliance Pictures and Ari Media, in fact, are really single in terms of channels.

In addition, this cost is almost all invested by Ahri Media itself, so in fact, the cost is really very high.

Moreover, there are many hidden costs involved. For example, as a top director, Jack Curtis, his original director's salary is top.

2+2 or even more.

The 20 million US dollar remuneration is the basis, and the following 2 is a 20% share, and this share is most likely not a share of global box office revenue, but a share of box office revenue, plus a share of omni-channel revenue.

Then there is the best-selling super IP "The Explorer Polk" bought by Ahri Media. It can be said that it is impossible not to pay a part of the revenue share.

Normally, in Hollywood, scripts are indeed not worth much, but IP, especially novels on the best-seller list, definitely have to get a share of the proceeds.

Moreover, there is absolutely no shortage of buyers for a best-selling book like "The Explorer Polk", such a big IP that is most suitable for being adapted into a movie, and several Hollywood giants must have joined the competition.

It can be said that it is absolutely impossible for Ahri to win this super bestseller without bleeding.

In addition, in terms of leading roles, Cheng Hu may not be very famous, but it is difficult for him to get too high a profit in this kind of A-level production. .

The key is Steven Lee. Yes, Steven Lee is indeed not comparable to a new star like Tom Jackson, including popularity and box office appeal.

But in the same way, you get what you pay for. Steven Lee may not be treated as well as Jack Curtis, but his salary will definitely not be low.

And it's definitely at a premium.

Therefore, it seems that the cost of "The Tomb of the Explorer Poké Dragon Emperor" is only 320 million US dollars, but in fact, no matter how high the box office of this movie is, it is more for Steven Lee, Jack? Curtis works.

In the previous life, "Jurassic Park" Steven Spielberg got arguably the largest proportion of revenue.

No way, this is the strength of top directors!

Of course, in the previous life, although Steven Spielberg did get enviable benefits.

But no one said anything, because they were worth the price.

Moreover, Universal is a giant with the most complete distribution channels, so Steven Spielberg is indeed making a lot of money, but Universal actually earns more.

That's the kind of money a blockbuster movie can generate.

As long as the movie sells well, everything is fine.

This is probably why Ahri Media is willing to do this.

After all, this is the key battle for them to open up their influence!

That's why he spared no expense.

Regardless of what they say about the globalization strategy, in fact, even if "The Explorer Poké? The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" can sell well, in fact, Ahri still depends on the domestic market.

Because in North America, Ahri's foundation is still too shallow.
