Chapter 81 Calculating Box Office Profits
September 1.
The official website of the Great Qin Empire:
"Our Great Qin Empire welcomes two more families. Let us grandly introduce and welcome. Liu Sisi, an artist from Yuantang Man Company, and Wang Baobao, an artist from the former Brothers Friendship Company, officially join our empire, sprinkle flowers and sprinkle flowers."
One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves.
Because there was no movement and no rumor beforehand.
In the normal entertainment industry, any thing that happens is usually full of rumors, and it will be completely exploded after a while.
Now the way of doing things in the Qin Empire has completely changed the past trend.
The media exploded in an instant, and various newspapers and online media quickly followed up, reprinted, reported on a large scale, and added their respective analysis.
Many media interviewed the companies of two parties at the first time.
...
Sugar Man Company soon made an announcement on the company's official website:
"Liu Sisi, who was also a family member of our company, has officially joined the Great Qin Empire. This is for the better future of our family. Our company has reached a strategic cooperation with the Great Qin Empire. Once again, I sincerely wish our eternal family Sisi a smooth future and a step-by-step promotion."
The Sugar Man Empire directly admitted that it did not have bad words, but instead made the media unhappy.
No war or quarrel is a peaceful business behavior, which is not something the media are happy to see.
...
Brothers Friendship Company gave the media a reason.
Because the company did not issue an announcement, a reporter tried every means to block Mr. Wang from Brother Friendship Company on the way off work.
"I can only say that our company didn't know about this before. Suddenly, Daqin Empire Entertainment Company directly helped our company's artist Wang Baobao pay the liquidated damages for the contract. According to the legality of the contract, our company could not stop Wang Baobao from leaving. Wang Baobao has always been an important member of us. The company had high hopes for him, but what should we do..."
...
The sugar man didn't get the news, and Brothers Friendship Company gave him a chance, although Mr. Wang's words seemed to have no bad words.
But what the media did, and instantly had a reason. They began to add their own opinions and reported them in a big way. What conspiracy theories are? The Qin Empire has forced its way into other companies in the circle. What is the Daqin and the Brothers Friendship Company have officially started to have a fight sooner or later.
Anyway, the title is stimulated and attracts attention.
...
Qin Dong was very casual and didn't take these seriously. He didn't want to guess or care about the two bosses of Brothers Friendship Company's thoughts.
...
September 6.
"Director Gao."
Qin Dong called the high brightness of Zhongying:
"[Those years] have been released yesterday. I hope Director Gao can urge the theater company to settle the money within one month."
"Hey, haven't I made two TV series here? I'm waiting for the rice to be cooked. I'm poor. Director Gao will help me, otherwise I will have to go to the bank to take out a loan. At that time, I have to ask Director Gao to be a guarantor for me, otherwise the bank will not give me a loan."
"Haha...Okay, thank you Director, I'll invite you to drink somewhere else."
"Hey, OK, goodbye."
...
Yesterday, September 5th, the one-month release of [Those Years] was officially released.
The total box office was RMB 423.3 million.
It once again set a new record for Qin Dong's box office.
The next day after the showdown, Qin Dong called to urge him? If he didn't urge him, he wouldn't know how long it would take to get the account.
Two TV series, one will start filming soon, and the other will start filming one or two months, Qin Dong will start filming soon in Thailand to shoot the third movie.
Unfortunately, the company only has a few million in its account.
Originally, there were 32 million yuan, so I bought six cars and rented the first floor of the company upstairs. With more people, I expanded my office area.
This time, nearly five million were directly removed.
For Wang Baobao's contract, he directly spent 20 million yuan to help the other party terminate the contract.
...
The production cost of one movie [Harde. Biography of Niuhulu] is 75 million yuan. Even if the Kyoto TV Drama Art Center invests 25 million yuan, Qindong Company will still have to pay 50 million yuan.
As for the independent production of the Qin Empire, the drama "Ruoxi and Yongzheng" has a preliminary budget of 10 million to 15 million.
With Qin Dong’s third movie [Lost in Thailand], the budget is 20 million yuan and the cost of external publicity is 30 million yuan.
This cost nearly 90 million yuan, and it is still in the autumn and winter seasons, so Qin Dong is anxious.
Now we have to wait for the box office share to be paid.
...
Qin Dong calculated that the total box office was 423.3 million [those years].
Excluding the special business tax of 3.3, 5% of the movie special funds.
There are still 388 million left.
The money is divided into 100 shares, and after deducting the theaters, the amount is 57% divided, and the amount is 8% released by China Film and Television.
Only 35% belongs to the Great Qin Empire.
About 135.8 million.
Only 135.8 million are all from the Daqin Empire Entertainment Company.
According to the original contract, Qin Dong's director fee plus the screenwriter was converted into 8% of the total box office.
That is 33864,000 RMB.
After 135.8 million was reached in the account of the Qin Empire, Qin Dong would have to give 33864,000 yuan.
In the end, the money belonging to the Daqin Empire Entertainment Company was only RMB 101.9 million.
Just this money has to be distributed to China Film and one fifth of the money. [Those years] China Film also invested one fifth of the share.
In the end, only 80 million people belonged to the Qin Empire.
After deducting the production cost of 10 million, the Qin Empire actually made only 70 million profits.
Qin Dong himself earned 33 million yuan.
Although it is all Qin Dong’s money, individuals and companies must be separated. Even if the company is a wholly owned individual who belongs to Qin Dong’s company, it must be the case.
Moreover, his private money is useful and cannot be invested in the company.
...
Of course this is the domestic box office revenue [of those years].
There are also overseas box offices, as well as other copyright revenues such as online videos, TV and movie channels.
All of these will come after.
Normally, it is released overseas relatively late, and we have to rely on China Film for operation in this regard. The Qin Empire does not have this ability at present.
The overseas box office share ratio is lower, so this kind of romance film can only sell box office in Southeast Asia.
Qin Dong is not in a hurry to copyright online video, because Yiguo Video currently does not agree to Qin Dong's investment.
Qin Dong still wants to see if there is any suitable video website. If there is really no, I won’t get involved in this industry in the future, so I currently retain other copyrights from [those years] and wait for the opportunity.
...
With the guarantee of Director Gao of China Film, Qin Dong was relieved.
The director of a leading company said that the account will be received in a month, and it will definitely be almost the same.
"Hey, Lao Xu, prepare to gather two queens."
Qin Dong stopped talking and was about to take people to Thailand.
If you are not familiar with the place abroad, you can go and go back early. After shooting it early, Qin Dong can prepare for next year's co-production film in advance. This is even more unfamiliar with more time requirements, so you must prepare in advance.
I heard that the crew over there must work eight hours a day and do not work overtime. If overtime is not available, the overtime fee will be applied in advance with a guild. Even if the application is approved, the overtime fee will be several times more than it will be so scary.
Chapter completed!
