Chapter 551: Depressed Market

Yuan Yuan has a large entertainment territory, including production, distribution, theaters, games, Weibo, electronic ticketing, video platforms, etc. In the future, Yuan Yuan will also cooperate with Fantawild to launch an amusement park project, but there is one item that Yuan Yuan has not done, or has no intention to do.

made.

That's music.

The Chinese music scene is visibly declining, and no one thinks music can still make money.

In other words, compared to film and television, the three dollars and two dates earned from music are far from being worth mentioning.

But in April this year, three little ones were born.

In one fell swoop, he won two awards: the Most Popular Singer in the Mainland and the Most Popular Singer on the YinYue Live Broadcast at the 2nd YinYue V List Annual Ceremony.

The Music V Chart is not a big award in the music industry, but it does attract a lot of attention.

After winning two major awards, the three little ones also officially appeared on stage and appeared in the mainstream audience's field of vision!

Fire!

What a mess!

The three little ones quickly gathered a large number of mother fans. Even Liu Yifei came to visit the class and sang "Magic Castle" every day in the hotel room. Cheng Yu'an couldn't help but say:

"That's almost it. Play it every day. Play it every day. No song can stand up to you playing it like this. If you don't bother me, I'll almost get tired of listening to it."

"Doesn't it sound good? 'Your love in the palm of my hand turns into source energy. I stand in the center of the magic circle and gather playfully in the hall. The elements illuminate the darkness in my heart.'"

Cheng Yu'an rolled his eyes and picked up his phone to browse the information.

"What are you looking at?"

"Let me see which company these three brats belong to, and I bought them for them!"

Liu Yifei ignored him and continued singing by herself.

Cheng Yu'an doesn't really want to acquire Times Fengjun. This small company has no high-quality assets, and Cheng Yu'an doesn't like it.

This year's General Administration has had a bad start to the year, and the results of the two blockbusters that started the year in the ladder division are not very good.

"Police Diary" won Wang Jinchun the Best Actor Award in Tokyo, and the domestic box office just exceeded 2 million.

"Fireworks in the Day" won Liao Fan the Berlin Best Actor, and the film even won the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture. The media praised Diao Yinan no less than Cheng Yu'an.

As a result, the box office only exceeded 100 million yuan.

For a literary film with an investment of less than 20 million, it is already very good to have a box office of over 100 million, but "Fireworks in the Day" still lost money.

Because after it won Berlin, it tried to imitate Cheng Yu'an's literary films, used awards marketing to leverage the box office, and spent more than 20 million on promotion and distribution.

Based on this calculation, the total cost of "Fireworks in the Day" should be upwards of 40 million. If you add in the various expenses incurred by running film festivals, the total cost of this film should be around 50 to 60 million.

Although the film festival bonuses and copyright fees sold cannot completely make up for the shortfall, if you add in the domestic rewards and subsidies for award-winning films and the copyright fees from TV stations...all in all, it's a small loss.

Still acceptable.

But don’t forget, the General Administration has given you the qualifications for step-by-step account sharing, so you use your results to fool people?

There is also a ladder-sharing movie, the minority-themed "XZ's Sky", which is currently in theaters.

The qualifications for sharing accounts are given only for political reasons, and we do not expect him to make money.

Therefore, the three parts of the film review committee, especially the representatives of the theater chains, were very dissatisfied.

I thought you could rely on awards marketing to leverage the box office. Not to mention 560 million, if you took 300 million, the theaters would shut up.

As a result, the film studio suffered a small loss, the theater chain did not make much money, and two sub-account quotas were wasted.

If I had known this, I might as well have given a spot to the remote "My Girlhood". They have been working steadily, taking in 370 million in box office in 21 days. The overseas response is also good, and the remake rights have been sold to more than 60 countries and regions. How great is this?

Marketing, the data is so beautiful.

"My Girlhood" became the best-performing domestic film after the end of this year's Spring Festival.

After "Tiny Times 3" was completed, an application for tiered account sharing was submitted to the General Administration and the Association.

At the presentation meeting, Director Guo proudly showed off the box office results of "Tiny Times 1 2". The two films have a total revenue of nearly 800 million. The third film will definitely achieve greater success.

"If "Tiny Times 3" can apply for lower-tier accounting, it will definitely bring very considerable profits to the theater chain."

The purpose of tiered accounting is to mediate conflicts between producers and theaters. Representatives from theaters also account for a high proportion of the review committee.

But when it comes to real money, each theater is more sophisticated than the other.

After Guo Jingming finished his statement to the association, he went back to wait for news.

A week later, the committee notified the "Tiny Times 3" crew in writing that the association would not approve the application for "Tiny Times 3" to split accounts.

"Why!" Guo Jingming was puzzled. "Tiny Times 3" must be a big seller. This is the result unanimously determined by the film studio and theaters. In Guo's view, giving "Tiny Times 3" a step-by-step split will make the producers

A win-win situation with theaters.

The producer who is remotely responsible for "Tiny Times" knows the answer: "Because the theater chain does not believe in the subsequent revenue of "Tiny Times". In the first two weeks of the ladder split, the producer took the lion's share, and our "Tiny Times" is typical

The first one of the fan movies had a total box office of 480 million, accounting for 260 million in the first week. The second one was more than 300 million, with 170 million in the first week. The subsequent revenue of "Tiny Times" is obviously not as good as that of ordinary drama blockbusters. Naturally, the theater representatives are not satisfied.

It will allow us to get the tiered accounts.

"And if I'm not wrong, all subsequent fan films will not be able to get tiered credits, unless there is a producer who is very knowledgeable and can handle 2/3 of the censorship committee."

Guo Jingming thought about it for himself and felt that this was the truth. The producer comforted him: "After all, the theater chain's real financial interests are involved, and if they lose money on three films in a row, their qualifications will definitely be blocked.

"We have already made a lot of money with a fixed share of the revenue." The producer coaxed Guo Jingming, "If we make a feature film for mainstream audiences in the future, we will definitely get the qualification.

"In the first half of the year, I estimate that "Return" directed by Zhang Yimou will make money.

"Return" has been scheduled for May 16. It is the first film that Zhang Yimou will collaborate with remotely after the two Zhangs broke up. With such a lineup, there is no reason not to be eligible for a share of the credits.

…………

Liu Yifei stayed with Cheng Yu'an in Hengdian for a week and then left. It wasn't even a week. After being intimate with Cheng Yu'an for two days, she left her husband and went to play with her friends.

Now is the time when the weather in Hengdian is the best, neither too cold nor too hot. Many crews choose to rush to schedule at this time.

A lot of people gathered in Hengdian. Liu Yifei visited many crews in the past few days and had a great time.

The crew of "Legend of the White Fox" is also finishing up the scenes in Hengdian. It is expected to finish all the scenes in the studio on May 1st. The props and equipment are being transferred to the Western Cinema in batches. These days are very busy.

The outside world is gearing up to prepare for this year's May Day war.

This year’s May Day holiday, for a month or so, there was not a single Hollywood blockbuster.

The schedule is all given to domestic films, because the market performance has been really bad since the Spring Festival.
