The Director of Music Department

Many don't watch big-selling movies, but in fact, the producers can get very little share.

First of all, the producer, how much investment, how much production cost, that is how much, maybe can do a little trick, but in fact, the gap will not be too big.

For example, a movie costs 10 million yuan to produce!

At least, the real investment cost is ** million!

Because, if you go further, the investor's finances are not decorations.

Some people say that if the production cost is 10 million yuan, the box office will only need to triple, and the direct box office will be able to pay back.

But actually?

Really relying on the box office to make money back, triple the box office is definitely not enough.

Because the cost here is not just the production cost.

For publicity, if the distribution company is optimistic about the movie, they will advance the film for publicity and distribution funds, which is also a cost.

And often not cheap.

Let's count five million, then the total cost of this movie will come to fifteen million, that is to say, the film's box office must be at least forty-five million to pay back.

Of course, the payback mentioned here mainly refers to the payback at the box office.

But it also depends on how much the distribution share is.

Many Hollywood giants distribute movies, and the commission can even be increased by 50%.

Yes, it's an exaggeration, but many small companies can only accept such a high share.

So if this is the case, the final 45 million box office will be calculated based on 50% of the box office share. After the theaters settle, 22.5 million will be returned to the distribution company.

Then the issuing company has to deduct the cost of the promotional advance payment, which is 5 million, and 50% of the box office share. The issuing company can take away 16.25 million at once.

The rest is the share for the producer, which is 6.25 million!

Of course, 50% of the distribution share is definitely a rip-off, but the normal 30% is also required.

But no matter what, this time, with three times the box office, it is impossible to get back the money from the box office.

In fact, the distribution cost of the distributor is not that high at all, but because they control the distribution channels, unless you are a top director, otherwise, no matter how well the movie sells, you are still working for the distributor!

Things like "Mad Max: Fury Road" are better, after all, Wang Yifan is not a small character, but the publishing share needs to be at least 10%.

And Wang Yifan's film salary is also divided into the movie box office, so at least another 20% is shared.

So for Matsumoto Universal and Mina Group, if Wang Yifan is allowed to continue directing the sequel, then Wang Yifan's salary alone will kill him.

That's why, they clearly knew that if Wang Yifan directed the sequel, the success rate would be higher and the risk would be lower, but they still would rather pay a high buyout fee than invite him to continue directing the sequel!

Similarly, for Wang Yifan, he is not interested in continuing to direct the sequel.

It's not because of the pay, the pay, the sequel is definitely higher than the first one.

After all, the results have been made.

But the problem is, the sequel to "Mad Max: Fury Road", Wang Yifan dare not say anything else, but the word of mouth will definitely rot.

The first one was too successful, or rather, it was overhyped.

What a great movie, what created a new type of movie, Wang Yifan blushed.

So, will the audience's expectations be high for such a movie and sequel? For sure, but the expected value is compared with the first one. When the movie is released, the high expected value will make the first one a good reputation, and the second one will have a big backlash.

So, wouldn't it be nice to take the money and leave?

You have to smash your own signboard.

"Hi, Wang! I'm Mick Minas from Beamon Films, is Wang interested in chatting?"

A middle-aged Caucasian man came over and greeted Wang Yifan with a smile.

Beamon Films, Wang Yifan naturally knows, is a film label under the DSN Group, one of the six major Hollywood giants.

DSN Media Group is a very powerful giant among the six Hollywood giants.

DSN Media Group is similar to Disney in the previous life, but it is not as strong as Disney.

Because the development trajectory of the DSN media group in this world is very similar to that of Disney in the previous life, both started from animation films.

However, Disney in the previous life was very successful in the development of live-action movies, but the DSN media group in this world is not so strong in live-action movies.

In fact, many Hollywood giants have multiple movie labels, and they like to classify movie labels.

For example, under the DSN Media Group, there is an animation film company MM Animation, which is considered to be the most powerful animation film company in the world.

The main focus is naturally various animated films.

This is an animation label!

Beamon Films is also a film label under DSN Media Group.

However, the main genre of this Beamon film is an action-type commercial production.

DSN Media Group also owns Titan Films, Cat Films and other labels, and the main business of each label is different.

In fact, DSN Media Group had cooperated with Huaguo's company before, but unfortunately, none of the co-produced films were successful in the end.

In fact, at the beginning, DSN Media Group also tended to cooperate with Huaxin, and they were very interested in the film adaptation of the Jenny.

However, after market research later, the effect was not good, so DSN Media Group backed down. In fact, the main reason was that Huaxin Group was not the company they cooperated with the most in Huaguo.

Later, "Mad Max: Fury Road" was actually discussed by Huaxin with DSN Group, but among the films produced by DSN Group, there are very few R-rated films, because DSN Group's most advantageous and best at is Make family movies, make movies for all ages.

Therefore, in the end, DSN Group did not participate in "Mad Max Fury Road".

Now, "Mad Max: Fury Road" has gone berserk all the way, and it has a good reputation at the box office. It is impossible to say that DSN Group has no regrets.

If it is not suitable for the company's development route and brand, it is just an outsider.

As long as it is a profitable project, how could they give up for this reason?

It's just because they misread it. When you read the script at the beginning of "Mad Max: Fury Road", you couldn't see anything at all.

Simply put, this is purely a film based on the director's imagination.

Now "Mad Max: Fury Road" has become the best-selling movie of this summer, the most successful movie, and because of this movie, Wang Yifan has become famous in North America and even in the whole world.

Therefore, the DSN Group will take the initiative to approach again.

"Hello, Mick!" Wang Yifan did not resist.

After all, in business talk business, there is nothing to say about this kind of thing, and Wang Yifan will not give up the idea of ​​cooperating with DSN Group because he was not optimistic about it before.
