The movie rating is very simple. "Infernal Affairs" is an absolutely high-scoring movie, and a full score of 2% is very reasonable.
But "The Gambler" has a lower rating than "The Tricky King"?
Jiang Yan doesn't think so.
Hence the keyword “investment proportion”.
In "The Gambler", Jiang Yan's total investment accounted for less than 5%, "Super Tricky King" accounted for one-third, and "Infernal Affairs" accounted for 60%.
The ratio between "The Gambler" and the following two movies is at least 6 times different.
As a result, the progress was not calculated proportionally, so the "investment ratio" should not be the main factor.
Then what’s left is the “profitability rate”.
"Super Tricky King" has a production and distribution cost of 5 million, a Hong Kong box office of 18 million, and overseas income of 5 million.
After all, the profit is probably more than doubled.
The production and publicity cost of "Infernal Affairs" is around 30 million, with box office in Hong Kong and Mainland China of 150 million, and overseas income has not been calculated.
After all, the profit has been more than doubled.
The total cost of "The Gambler" is 12 million. If the box office is based on the original time and space, it will be about 17 million in Hong Kong and 10 million overseas. After all, it really doesn't make much money.
If you calculate it this way, the main factors affecting the progress will basically be clear.
In this way, it would be okay to make movies that make money in the future. But if we make movies that cost money, wouldn’t the progress be set back?
So Jiang Yan will not easily define it.
He felt that he had to continue his research.
To explore, you need a few more references.
The more you take pictures, the clearer it will be.
So in general, the world building process of the system has now reached 4.74%.
It’s been exactly half a year since I started working in the industry in June, and my results are pretty good.
Next, there will be "The World", "That Man That Dog in the Mountain" and several TV series. By June of 1999, it is estimated that the progress will exceed 10%, which will definitely be no problem.
...
After thinking about the progress, Jiang Yan went home first. He had to sort out the information.
After sorting it out, if there is anything missing, you can go back and fill it in. After everything is completed, you still have to go and inspect it.
You have to start setting up an incubation base, which is a big project.
Camera, communication, screen, storage, etc.
Every technology, in future terms, can represent a track.
If we really want to cover all categories, it would be a really huge project.
The collection of various cutting-edge technologies on a small mobile phone represents the crystallization of human wisdom.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan initially only plans to make simple functional phones.
At least the chip requirements are not high, and the technology has been obtained. The next step is how to implement it.
So it depends on talents, he can't do it alone.
The most important thing in an incubation base is talent, followed by equipment. We have to follow Lao Fan's approach and let him pull the strings.
Spend money to buy equipment and build it if you can’t buy it. We have the technology and we are not afraid!
Keep people with high salary and poach people with high salary. We have money and we are not afraid!
If we really have no money, then we can go to commercial shows and accept endorsements, we can always solve it.
Let’s set a small goal first, to make the first finished mobile phone by the end of 1999.
Don’t think it’s too fast and have faith in the abilities of the Chinese people!
Besides, this is an open-book exam. If you still can't figure it out, then give up as soon as possible.
...
In this way, the two things converged into one question.
That is time travel.
Jiang Yan needs to work on the script as soon as possible.
Get the script, change the time, and then verify the factors that affect the progress while gathering technological wool.
Fortunately, the scripts arrived quickly, and there were two copies.
"Glass Bottle", Fang Silong's movie.
Jiang Yan has become famous in the film industry with "Infernal Affairs" and is also a quasi-king in the mainland.
Although the media reported that "Infernal Affairs" double-killed Fang Shilong, Fang Shilong is not stupid, and naturally he will not hold grudges against Jiang Yan.
Not only that, he also sent the script and asked Jiang Yan if he was interested in playing and making a cameo.
The intention of having a good friend here is obvious, and Jiang Yan will naturally not refuse.
The other one is "The King of Comedy", a movie by Xingye.
During the premiere, Jiang Yan had mentioned investing or becoming an extra, but I didn't expect that Mr. Xing would take it to heart.
Well, Jiang Yan thinks he is short of money.
This movie was announced to be shot a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now, which indirectly caused Uncle Da to fill the spot.
Both movies will be released in February or March of 1999. What's interesting is that Fang Silong and Xing Ye will make guest appearances in each other.
Now there is another Jiang Yan interacting with each other, which is quite interesting to think about.
But the guest appearance is not Jiang Yan’s purpose, the script is.
If you want to modify the script time entry, you have to invest money, otherwise the system will not recognize it as his own script.
So, we still have to talk.
New Year's Day, 1999, noon.
Jiang Yan first met Master Xing.
Mr. Xing is a serious man, but he is a nice person, as long as he doesn't talk about money.
But Jiang Yan has his own advantages.
"I can't guarantee that the mainland will definitely pass the review, but if I invest, it will at least have more effects. Of course, if you are willing, Mr. Xing, I can also try to bring in more institutions."
Who are you trying to pull? Beijing Film Studio, with it, mainland distribution will probably not be a problem.
However, Jiang Yan didn't say anything to death, and of course, Master Xing probably wasn't too willing either.
Sure enough, Mr. Xing said: "I am willing to invest in you personally, but if you go to the north, some markets are not easy to enter."
Of course what Mr. Xing is talking about is the Wanwan Market.
Because of the involvement of Yindu in the past, "Infernal Affairs" is still struggling in the Wanwan market and has still not been released.
However, with a box office of nearly 90 million in the Mainland, nearly 65 million in Hong Kong, and US$2 million in North American adaptation rights, this has completely established the film's status, so "Infernal Affairs" is not far behind in the Bay Area market.
But Master Xing is concerned about it, so he will naturally refuse.
So Jiang Yan said: "Okay, let's do it in my own name. You can just tell me how much the share will be."
Next, after the two briefly exchanged a few words, Jiang Yan took out 1.5 million and asked for a 10% share. It was not much, but it would be good to achieve the goal.
The production cost of "The King of Comedy" was 15 million, of which Star Master's salary accounted for 8 million, leaving only 7 million for production.
However, 7 million is enough, and the extra money will be used for publicity, so it is actually reasonable for Jiang Yan to take 10% of the 1.5 million.
Then came the conversation about the guest role. Jiang Yan didn't care about it, so Master Xing said he would make temporary arrangements when the time came.
Jiang Yan expressed his understanding. As for Mr. Xing, improvising on the spot is a reserved item.
After signing the contract with Master Xing, Jiang Yan met Fang Shilong the next day.
The last time they met, the two of them didn't say a few words.
But this time it's different. Fang Shilong attaches great importance to Jiang Yan's identity, and Jiang Yan doesn't despise this elder brother in Xiangjiang.
So when they met for the second time, their attitude was almost that of brothers.
During the chat, Fang Shilong also asked Jiang Yan about his plans for the next movie.
Fang Shilong is definitely not very good at coming to participate in the movie. He only acts in his own movies, but he is willing to make guest appearances and invest in it.
Jiang Yan also truthfully said that there are still TV series and movies in the Mainland that he wants to participate in, and there is also a movie with Hua Tsai in Hong Kong.
After everything is settled, I will try to collaborate on a Hollywood movie with Warner Bros.
Fang Shilong became excited as soon as he heard this.
I know Hollywood well!
So he talked about his Hollywood journey.
While Fang Shilong was proud, he was actually also feeling sad.
"Ayan, it's more difficult for Chinese people to enter Hollywood than imagined..."
When Fang Shilong talked about his experience, it can be summed up in one word: difficult!
Of course, if you achieve results, you will be the boss.
But whether "Uncle" can last depends on your next movie.
Even though "Rush Hour" is a hit, if the next one fails, as a Chinese, maybe even Hollywood won't be able to make it.
This is also the reason why he came back to film "Glass Bottle" first.
Firstly, I want to transform, and secondly, I want to take a break and think about my next move.
Fang Shilong said that with "Rush Hour" as a foundation, the best way is to start "Rush Hour 2", but he feels that this is a trump card, and he must try other themes first. If it doesn't work, then use "Rush Hour 2"
》Recover your value.
Jiang Yanxin said, you guessed it right, you will really know how to jump into the next Hollywood movie.
Fang Shilong finally asked Jiang Yan if he had any plans to film in Hollywood.
Jiang Yan naturally said that he had not thought about it, after all, he had too many choices.
But Fang Shilong just comforted: "You are still young, it doesn't matter if you fall."
"Thanks!"
Jiang Yan smiled.
Then they continued to play music and dance, and when it was finally over, the sex dragon got down to business.
"A-Yan, you can choose the role you like. I can't give you too much in terms of investment."
"I'm willing even if you only give me a quota of 100,000. I'm so happy that I can cooperate with my eldest brother!" Jiang Yan never hesitates when speaking on the spot.
"Haha, that's not the case!" Big Nose was very happy, and then the conversation became easy.
Jiang Yan still paid 1.5 million, but only had a 5% share.
The characters are also random, they are just guest appearances, just for fun.
The actual production costs of the two movies are actually about the same, and the biggest difference is the protagonist's salary.
The sex dragon is far higher than Xing Ye.
Star Master’s salary is 8 million, and Fang Shilong can’t even collect 20 million.
However, Mr. Xing took care of his business affairs, while the dragon in the sexual relations gave in to the profits.
The eldest brother is the eldest brother after all, so this kind of favor can be done easily.
And will Jiang Yan suffer losses?
In 1999, these two films ranked first and second at the box office in Hong Kong.
In addition, although the cost of the two films is very different, the actual profit rate is similar.
Therefore, the same investment share, similar rate of return, and the variables are controlled quite accurately.
All that's left is the movie rating.
"Glass Bottle" is not a high-rated film, while "The King of Comedy" is highly rated.
Then when the progress comes out, and we compare these two movies with the previous movies, we will be able to know some factors that affect the progress.
Let’s get some recommendation votes and make the total recommendation votes exceed 10,000!
