Chapter 1098 Profit Is Heart-Warming

"Shaolin Temple" has such good results. It has already reached a record box office of 6.92 million within four days of its opening. Even Yin Jun himself did not expect it.

That day, Sister Le asked him to refute the media. Yin Jun persuaded Sister Le to wait a few more days and see. This drama would definitely be a box office hit.

After all, according to the box office results on the first day, except for Hong Kong, several other countries responded well and are very popular.

It was precisely because of the good box office data from other places that Sister Le accepted Yin Jun's explanation and prepared to take a look before talking.

Even if Xiangjiang fails, if the box office is big in other places, then Qilin Film Company will have its own explanation: You see, everyone can sell well, but Xiangjiang cannot sell well. This proves that the taste of Xiangjiang movie fans is different from that of most people. Movie fans are different, so we can’t say more about that.

But I never expected that "Shaolin Temple" would be so magical. Just relying on word of mouth and word-of-mouth, it would receive such high praise, attract so many viewers, and complete such a huge success even though it failed at the box office on the first day. reversal.

But if you think about the previous life of "Shaolin Temple", it was shown in less than 10 theaters and still managed to get more than 16 million yuan at the box office. This is enough to illustrate its excellence.

In fact, Yin Jun doesn't really expect Hong Kong to be a hit at the box office this time. What he cares about is whether it can be a hit at the overseas box office.

As a result, "Shaolin Temple" really lived up to expectations. It achieved good results at the overseas box office on the first day. In the following days, just like Xiangjiang, it relied on its extremely strong reputation and the director's excellent level of filmmaking. , it quickly formed a strong viewing effect among movie fans, and it was able to reach a box office of more than 100 million in the last week, which is really amazing.

Although Qilin Culture invested as much as 50 million Hong Kong dollars in advertising and invested in 3,000 copies, the total investment was almost 70 million Hong Kong dollars, but with such a first-weekend result, "Shaolin Temple" is destined to " will become a big hit and bring enough benefits to Qilin Culture.

Do not misunderstand.

These investments are all borne jointly with Zhongyuan Film Company.

Yu Zheng made it clear to them in advance that since both parties receive half of the box office share, these investments will also be borne together.

If you don't want to, the money will be included in the final division. If you lose money, then we will bear it, but you don't want to divide it. If you make money, then you will still deduct the points.

At Zhongyuan Film Company, general manager Tan Kunzhen finally chose to agree.

Anyway, after they received Yin Jun's 10 million sponsorship, they had already repaid their investment. The mainland is so popular now, and they want to get a lot of profits. They don't have much confidence in the foreign box office.

But if Yin Jun pays for the promotion and production of copies first, it will be a great publicity for "Shaolin Temple" in any case, and it will also be of great help to the two Shaolin Temple stories that will be filmed in the future.

As a result, they did not expect that Shaolin Temple would become more and more popular in the mainland, not only in Hong Kong and throughout Asia, but also in Hong Kong and Asia.

After one week, the total box office exceeded 112 million Hong Kong dollars. What is this concept?

What represents the least is the box office closing of 300 million Hong Kong dollars!

Because it is responsible for all publicity and copying costs, Kirin Film Company has signed contracts with major theater chains for almost 60% of the box office share. After calculation, it will get a pre-tax income of 180 million Hong Kong dollars. After deducting taxes and other expenses, it will be 140 million Hong Kong dollars. It's well and truly in the pocket.

After this calculation, after excluding the 70 million promotional copy costs, there is still 70 million that can be shared equally between Qilin Film Company and Zhongyuan Film Company, which is also 35 million!

One movie earned RMB 35 million in overseas revenue. What a huge surprise!

Not to mention that Yin Jun has a larger theater distribution network overseas. Disney and United Artists Film Company combined, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the top three theater chains in the world.

Therefore, the next step of screening in global regions should be at least no less than the share income of HK$35 million, right?

If you are lucky, the total net profit of 100 million Hong Kong dollars is not an exaggeration!

Oh my god, a movie can make a huge profit of 100 million Hong Kong dollars. What a great achievement is this?

For a time, many people at Zhongyuan Film Company felt a little regretful.

If we had known that "Shaolin Temple" was so profitable, why would we have signed Yin Jun for the next two movies? Can we just do it ourselves?

But such an idea was immediately scolded by more intelligent people.

"What do you know? If it weren't for Yin Jun's large investment in advertising and copying, would we have achieved this result?"

"Also, don't forget, as long as we fall out with Yin Jun, the next movie in Xiangjiang will be played in 12 cinemas at most. There is no way to guarantee this number. How long will it take to sell the movie? A box office of tens of millions? And our Zhongyuan Film Company only produces this series of movies? If we have to offend the largest film company in Hong Kong and the most powerful person in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, how much benefit will it bring to us? "

"Yes, Yin Jun helped contact theater chains in Asia. Even if "Shaolin Temple" has the capital to achieve good results, it does not mean that we can get the same theater chain support next time. If Yin Jun wants to cause trouble in the middle, Can we continue to be successful?"

"Don't even think about the theater chains in Europe and the United States. How can we be so capable that we can negotiate overseas distribution one by one? If we sell the copyright alone, we might as well cooperate with Yin Jun, and we will get the same amount! It’s much better than offending Yin Jun!”

"Yin Jun didn't treat us badly, right? For the next two Shaolin martial arts-related movies, each movie still had a sponsorship cost of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and the overseas box office was still half and half. We basically just contributed a little bit, There is no risk or effort. Why can't we continue to cooperate with such a stable and profitable thing? This is not possible if people are not satisfied with it!"

"..."

With the analysis of these people, those hot-headed people finally came to their senses and were secretly glad that they did not offend Yin Jun for the immediate benefit.

Now Yin Jun's strength is no longer limited to Xiangjiang, but has begun to build an entertainment empire all over the world. If you want to get involved in this circle, offending Yin Jun means that your future is not bright and you will be finished in minutes.

The people of Chung Yuan Film Company, despite being backed by the mainland, are already in an invincible position, but they also know where the stage for movies is. Compared with the vast world overseas, relying solely on the development in the mainland, It cannot bring glory to oneself at all.

How many people who work in movies don’t want to receive all kinds of glory?

Even Feng Buckya, who was determined to differentiate himself from others and said, "I'm just a movie maker," didn't end up throwing himself into the arms of competing for various awards?

Regardless of whether there are prestigious or not prestigious awards, he will participate in them with a shy face. Naturally, he will win many awards, and even a Golden Horse Award for Best Actor. This makes Feng's buck teeth so bad that he earns several times more than his movie. Hundreds of millions makes him happy.

From the persistent efforts of another heartthrob, Leonardo DiCaprio, you can see that an actor's persistence for the highest award can turn him into a crazy persistence.

Therefore, in fact, as long as you, as a filmmaker, still have pursuits in your heart, you will not focus on money, especially when you have no worries about money.

…

The strange atmosphere at Zhongyuan Film Company was suppressed, but on the other side, Jet Li in Huajing was about to explode.

The cause lies with Wen Jun.

Fatty Wen sometimes gets bad and is really scheming.

Li Lianjie made such a big fuss at the Shichahai martial arts team that day. Wen Jun, who had an informant there for a long time, naturally knew the whole story.

But he did not call Jet Li to comfort him immediately. Instead, he chose the morning of New Year's Eve and waited until the box office results of "Shaolin Temple" were released across Asia before calling Jet Li in this name.

In name, it was to congratulate Li Lianjie on his box office success, and to send New Year blessings, but look at what Wen Jun said, which one didn't fan the flames?

"Congratulations, Ajie, we are such a hit at the box office. Master Jun has already said that he will definitely give you another big hit!"

"Haha, besides, it's Chinese New Year here, let me tell you another good news. Do you know what Master Jun paid you for your two new films? One million Hong Kong dollars! In Hong Kong, except for Cheng Long, , Zhou Runfa, Fei Xiang and others, few actors can get it! The key is that you still guessed the first movie to be released!

Oh, by the way, when Master Jun gave this price, "Shaolin Temple" had not yet been released. If you sign the contract after this, I will definitely give you more! But don’t worry, a generous person like Mr. Jun will definitely not treat you badly. As long as the box office is good, you will definitely get a big red envelope! "

Li Lianjie was on the phone and could only answer with a wry smile.

When Wen Jun finally hung up the phone, Li Lianjie's face was already full of anger.

"A salary of 1 million Hong Kong dollars! They never told me!" Pulling aside Huang Qiuyan, who was also listening on the phone, Jet Li lowered his voice and said angrily, "They are going to give me tens of thousands of dollars to spend." Really!? Is this too much? If Brother Jun hadn’t told me, I would still have been kept in the dark!"

"Didn't Master tell you? Don't think about money anymore. You just have to prepare for training and acting seriously now. Only when all three movies are finished, we will have more capital to negotiate the price." He also listened to the call. Huang Qiuyan could only advise softly, "So, don't get angry because of this and delay the business. Only if you succeed can you have everything, you know?"

"Well, I know, I won't mess around."

Li Lianjie took a deep breath, the unyielding and anger in his eyes were equally obvious.

He understands the truth, but this feeling of being bullied is really infuriating!
