Chapter 256 'Looking for Qin Chuan', Chinese movies take off...
Hearing Gu Zai's excited words, Lin Chen smiled awkwardly.
As a boss, I am really incompetent.
He actually didn't even know that "The Legend of Qin" was released, but he really didn't expect that he had invited Yang Xiaofeng's family to watch "The Legend of Qin" a few days ago, but he didn't expect that the movie would be released.
"Goo Jai, what is the final box office of our movie?"
"Lin Chen, what you said is so incompetent." After hearing this, Tang Xin immediately said sarcastically, "Now even ordinary people outside know the box office of "Xun Qin Zhuan", but you don't know?"
Even Yang Xiaofeng raised his head: "Yes, brother Lin Chen, even Xinwen Lianbo showed it. "The Legend of Qin" has set a new high in China's box office history!"
"Okay..." Lin Chen suddenly felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do about it. Lin Chen had been busy these days and didn't even have a chance to watch the news.
Gu Zai chuckled and didn't mind: "Lin Sheng is the big boss, so of course he doesn't have time to watch the news."
"Lin Sheng, I'm not going to be too pretentious. Before I came, the major theater chains gave us statistics. The box office of "The Legend of Qin" was 4.2 billion!"
"4.2 billion?" Lin Chen said in surprise: "So high?"
Although Lin Chen was full of confidence in "Xun Qin Zhuan", he did not expect that the other party could create such brilliant results.
But after thinking about it, Lin Chen felt a little relieved.
After all, in this world, China has severely cracked down on piracy, which has triggered many chain reactions, resulting in the film market in this world being much better than Lin Chen's previous life.
Both the number of moviegoers and the number of screens are much larger than those in Lin Chen's previous life.
In addition, movie tickets in this life are more expensive than Lin Chen's previous life. Although ticket prices in major cities vary, on average they are about 50 yuan per movie ticket.
The combination of various factors has resulted in the fact that although it is only 2011, it has the ability to produce movies with a box office of over 4 billion.
Before "The Legend of Qin", there were already three Hollywood movies that had achieved this result.
But it is the first time for a Chinese film to have a box office of over 4 billion.
Therefore, many people regard the birth of "Xun Qin Zhuan" as a sign that Chinese movies are about to take off.
The big mountain that used to weigh on Chinese movies, Hollywood movies, seems to be almost unable to suppress the growth of Chinese movies.
Once upon a time, many filmmakers in China felt ashamed of China's film market. For such a huge country, the top three domestic film markets in terms of box office were all dominated by Hollywood films.
But this time, the appearance of "Xun Qin Zhuan" gave them hope for the rise of Chinese films.
I am afraid that in the near future, Chinese films will regain their own box office championship in the Chinese film market.
It is precisely because of this that "The Legend of Qin" has gained unprecedented popularity both among the people and the government. Even Goo Jai, who is directing for the first time, has become a super director and is sought after by countless capital.
This time, precisely because they were interested in the next two sequels of "The Legend of Qin", the theater chain especially accelerated the box office statistics and decided to share the movie with Goo Jai in advance, so as to prepare for the release of the subsequent sequels.
, get more benefits.
Having single-handedly created the box office miracle of the first Chinese movie with over 4 billion, Goo Jai still maintains his usual modesty.
He knew that the biggest contributor to everything in "The Legend of Qin" was not the starring and director himself, but Lin Chen.
Without his increased investment and his bloodshed, "The Legend of Qin" would probably just become another bad Hong Kong movie.
It was precisely because of his fancy for Lin Chen that Goo Jai came from Hong Kong in person this time, intending to discuss the box office splitting with Lin Chen in person.
Otherwise, this kind of thing actually only requires an accountant to come over. Why does Goo Jai need to come in person?
Taking a deep breath, Goo Jai said with a smile on his face: "Lin Sheng, the theater chain has told us that the share of the box office will be transferred to the company in a few days. Before we get the money, I will tell you first.
Regarding the division of accounts at the box office, by the way, do you know about the division of accounts at the box office?"
"Tell me about it."
Lin Chen actually knew a bit about it, but what he knew was the box office breakdown of the movie in his previous life. He didn't know if it had changed in this life, but he still had to listen.
"Okay, let me explain briefly." Goo Jai said.
The box office split in this world is actually the same as Lin Chen's previous life. The box office of a movie needs to be shared with multiple parties, not all of it is given to the producer.
First of all, just like Lin Chen's previous life, all film income must first be subject to a special business tax of 3.3% and a special fund for the film industry of 5%. The remaining 91.7% is recognized as the "separable box office" of a film.
In the divisible box office, cinemas and theater chains need to retain a portion of the money, China Film Digital retains a distribution agency fee, and the remainder belongs to the film producer.
In Lin Chen's previous life, this ratio was roughly around 40%. However, in this life, because there was no piracy, the film producers had a much greater say than in the previous life, so in the end the film producers were able to obtain a proportion of
60%!
"This time, the box office of "The Legend of Qin" is 4.2 billion, and the income we can get is about 2.6 billion. But this is only the income from the movie box office. Later, we will also have video tapes and Blu-ray discs of the film production, and the Internet
The copyright income from on-demand and TV broadcasts is also a lot of money, as well as overseas copyrights. Many overseas distributors have contacted us to discuss it. My people have made statistics and it is estimated that the final total revenue will exceed 4 billion!"
"Lin Chen, your investment accounts for 60% of the total investment in "The Legend of Qin". According to a rough calculation, your share is almost 2.5 billion. Of course, this is only a rough calculation, because the income from video discs is long-term income, so it may be higher.
.”
Lin Chen was not surprised by this result. He had calculated at the beginning that the return rate on his investment in "Xun Qin Zhuan" would be about 5 times, which is about the same as 2.5 billion.
Compared to Lin Chen's indifferent expression, the other three women in the room, except Gu Zai, were filled with turmoil.
No matter it was Tang Xin, Angela, or Yang Xiaofeng, they were all surprised that Lin Chen had made another 2.5 billion without saying anything!
2.5 billion! This is 2.5 billion!
How many people struggle all their lives to earn money, but Lin Chen earned it just from one movie!
After saying what he just said, Gu Zai looked very excited, and he continued to say to Lin Chen: "Lin Sheng, your share is roughly like this, but now there is one thing I want to discuss with you, and that is "
Investment in the two sequels of "The Legend of Qin"."
"Because of the success of the first film, many investors have contacted me now, hoping to participate. However, I hope to seek your opinion. If you are willing to invest, I will leave the largest investment share to you."
