Chapter 642 The Box Office Divides 100 Million Dollars!

When Vincent left, of course the two parties did not reach an agreement.

From Vincent's point of view, Le Yiling is the lion's mouth, but he can't help it. Now that the manga booklets are so popular, Kirin Culture certainly holds the initiative.

If Pearson Group wanted to make more money, it had to distribute some profits to Kirin Culture. This is an undeniable fact.

However, Le Yiling's conditions were too harsh. He had no choice but to discuss with the headquarters after returning home, and then continue the negotiation.

At this time, Vincent has completely put away his contempt for Le Yiling and the unicorn culture.

However, he didn't know that Le Yiling was far smarter and stronger than he imagined.

Le Yiling knew that as long as these European and American businessmen had money, they would turn a blind eye to any big festival, and there was no such thing as personal preference.

Pearson Group is an old-fashioned publishing group. Their desire for money is very big, so they must be reluctant to let go of this piece of fat, so they can only compromise in the end.

What's more, a single comic book is only 4 Hong Kong dollars, which is less than 20% of the selling price. Even if it is a little unsalable, it will not affect their profits at all, but will increase their profits a lot.

As long as this point is clear, then this time, Pearson Group must accept the "robbery" of Kirin Culture without any discussion.

After receiving a call from Sister Le, Yin Jun was in a good mood.

The increased release of manga booklets is a very perfect chain for cultivating young people to become fans in the future, and let them contribute to the box office of the movie version of these manga in 10 or 20 years.

If this business is successful, even if it only sells a booklet for 4 yuan a book, it will bring Yin Junduo a pre-tax profit of 27 million. If added together, the monthly pre-tax profit of Kirin Culture will be directly equal to It will reach 117 million Hong Kong dollars.

Yin Jun is much more optimistic than Sister Le.

Le Yiling thinks that adding 18 million booklets is to increase influence and not waste the new printing capacity, but Yin Jun thinks that the total of 26 million booklets, each manga is only 2.6 million copies on average, distributed in the Americas Among the 30 to 40 countries, large and small, in Western Europe, there are only tens of thousands of copies in one country. Can this still be unsalable?

Just kidding! ?

These comics are masterpieces that have been tested by hundreds of millions of comic fans for decades!

Wait for another three to five years, when twenty or so comic books bombard the world, it will not be a problem to publish and ship 200 million or even 300 million copies every two months!

This does not include mainland China. If Yin Jun can open up the market here, he can expect to release more than 400 million copies each time!

Come back.

In order to expand production this time, Kirin Culture also spent a lot of money.

For example, the environmental protection treatment of the printing factory requires a large amount of expansion, equipment purchase, and site construction. This is 120 million Hong Kong dollars, which is much more than the initial 70 million yuan in the first batch.

In addition to the purchase of Heidelberg printing presses, Kylin Culture purchased 240 million equipment in one go, all of which are the latest and best machinery and equipment.

In terms of workers, in order to cope with the doubled printing tasks, Kylin Printing Factory recruited another 1,800 workers, including 300 veterans who entered the Kylin Security Department. This monthly salary subsidy is not small s expenses.

The current Qilin Printing Factory has already become the largest single factory in Xiangjiang, with a full scale of 7,000 people, which is incomparable to any other factory.

Although there are about 2,800 security personnel here, not only for the Kirin printing factory, but in fact, there are more than 4,000 front-line staff, which is also amazing.

Calculated in this way, at least three months can be regarded as a waste of work, and there is no way to earn a penny.

But in the long run, such expansion is a good thing for the entire Kirin Group.

As long as "Kirin Weekly" and One-line Instinct continue to develop so strongly, continuous expansion will be a necessary manifestation of siege. Not expanding the capacity is simply a waste of the influence and attraction of comics!

What makes Yin Jun happy is not just the expansion of the influence of the manga booklet.

In the past two or three weeks, the box office share of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has arrived one after another.

The first to settle the settlement for "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was the Xiangjiang Cinemas, which was released in the United States a month late.

Movie theaters all over the world have the same virtue. It is impossible to settle the box office on the same day the next day, and it is impossible to settle the settlement a week later.

Be kind, the settlement will start after two or three weeks, and usually the first week's box office will be settled after one month.

For example, in Hollywood theaters, if the box office is settled within three months, they are considered to be very professional.

Many small film companies in the United States have obviously made good-looking and profitable movies, but they have closed down because of this. Expenses, finally finished.

When they are finished, those big Hollywood film companies will buy them up like a savior, so that they can also get a generous share, which is really nonsense!

At the beginning of September, "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which was screened in Xiangjiang for 6 weeks, finally came to an end.

Basically, the film markets in other places were also fully released around the same time as Xiangjiang, and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was officially announced as a success.

With a total box office of 611 million US dollars worldwide, it has broken the box office record in recent years, second only to "Jaws" and "Star Wars", and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has become the third highest-grossing super movie in the world in history!

In fact, there are quite a few movie theaters that hope to continue to let "Raiders of the Lost Ark" play its remaining heat, but this kind of super blockbuster has dominated the theaters for too long, and it is a great harm to local movies, especially in the current Xiangjiang Film Company. This is even more so when a hundred flowers bloom.

So it was forced to go offline in 6 weeks. In fact, the number of movie theaters continued to decrease after 2 weeks.

Under such pressure, the total box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in Xiangjiang reached 43.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which frowned countless people in the industry who had already expected it, and made countless movie fans worship it.

Xiangjiang is not the main battlefield of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Everyone can easily get a box office of more than 40 million, but what about our own movies?

We only broke through the bottleneck of 10 million last year, and we haven't even touched 20 million yet!

I don't know if anyone can break this impressive record within ten years? !

In fact, Xiangjiang people are still a little arrogant.

In the previous life, just next year, a movie called "Modern Bodyguard" hit the box office ceiling of 20 million with a box office of more than 17 million.

In 1982, "Best Partner" was born, with a box office score of 26 million, which easily broke the record of 20 million, which is jaw-dropping.

Three years later, "Fuxing Gaozhao" in 1985 reached a box office of 30 million, breaking another 30 million record.

Another five years later, in 1990, "The Gambler" and "The Gambler" both broke the box office record of 40 million.

Four years later, in 1994, "God of Gamblers 2" officially announced that it had become the first domestic film to break the box office of 50 million. Xiangjiang Films also reached an unprecedented peak in the past two years.

Such a very healthy development curve actually represents the continuous accumulation and vigorous development of Xiangjiang films.

Although Xiangjiang movies at that time were not comparable to Hollywood movies, their influence and popularity in Asia were not comparable to Hollywood movies.

However, Xiangjiang Films committed suicide, shoddy, illogical, and insincere. In just a few years, that is, after 1998, they quickly sank to the bottom, leaving them with no room for recovery.

The success of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is actually many aspects.

Lucas has not completely given up on movies yet, and has not concentrated on doing special effects and building the "Star Wars" brand.

Spielberg has gradually entered a mature period, and Harrison Ford is the pinnacle of acting.

In addition, the investment is huge, and the shooting is very sincere.

Etc., etc.

These factors are added together to have such a bursting "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Some time ago, when Yin Jun had dinner with Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Wu Siyuan, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others, he said that a good movie like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" belongs to the once-in-ten-year movie. There are not many films, even in the United States itself.

That's why its global box office is so abnormal, reaching such an exaggerated figure of 611 million U.S. dollars.

Xiangjiang Films should not underestimate themselves, nor should it be too ambitious, but should take a solid step by step. Only in this way can it stabilize its basic market and fight more with Hollywood in the future.

Yin Jun didn't know what Shao Yifu was thinking, but except for him, everyone else agreed with Yin Jun's opinion very much, and Zou Wenhuai still had bright eyes, obviously ready to meet Hollywood.

Not to mention the future.

Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Cinemas jointly screened "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and Golden Harvest was itself an investor in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". As a result, they and Shaw Brothers began to settle the settlement with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" only in mid-to-late August. , and it is only the local box office, and the Nanyang box office that they are responsible for will have to wait a few more weeks.

For Xiangjiang box office, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" gets 40%, which is the highest proportion of overseas box office, and most of the rest are 30%, or even 25%.

According to this ratio, the dividend of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in Xiangjiang is 17.4 million Hong Kong dollars.

In comparison, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" made 252 million box office in the United States, and the share ratio was as high as 45%. The successive arrival of 113.4 million US dollars was what really made Yin Jun and Zou Wenhuai happy.

Their total investment is 25 million US dollars, and the North American box office alone can make them earn a lot of money.

Although Zou Wenhuai only has one-sixth of the income, but with an income of 19 million, even after deducting all inputs and taxes, he can still earn around 6 million US dollars.

Not to mention that based on this ratio, Golden Harvest's global after-tax net profit will reach 25 million US dollars.

25 million U.S. dollars is 115 million Hong Kong dollars.

How many films does Zou Wenhuai have to make and distribute in Xiangjiang to earn 115 million! ?

Normally, this is equivalent to the net profit of Golden Harvest's hard work for 2 years.

It's just a coincidence that he got such a huge profit by taking a ride. How could Zou Wenhuai not be elated and grinning from ear to ear?

Rao is now cooperating with Jiahe again due to various interests, Shao Yifu is still a little dissatisfied with Zou Wenhuai's recent high-profile performance.

But dissatisfaction is ultimately only dissatisfaction, and he has no way to replace Zou Wenhuai's investment in "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

Even Zou Wenhuai got a profit of 25 million US dollars, and Yin Jun's investment amount was four times that of his, so the profit should also be four times.

That's 100 million US dollars!

Good guy!

A movie!

What Yin Jun brought was a net profit after tax of 460 million Hong Kong dollars.

How many copies?

Then Yin Jun can't make a fortune! ?

For a while, I don't know how many people are jealous.

I don't know how many people want to squeeze into the film circle, and the best ones can cooperate with Yin Jun!

Therefore, "Police Academy", which is being produced, has become an existence of envy and hatred in everyone's eyes.

But "Police School" is a collaboration between Yin Jun, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, and it has already been settled, and outsiders can't get in if they want to intervene.

Some people approached Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, saying that they wanted to share the risk with them and invest in the crew of "Police Academy".

Undoubtedly, neither Shao Yifu nor Zou Wenhuai agreed to such an obvious bargain.

With the success of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", they are full of confidence in another global movie like "Police Academy"!

Lei Juekun also talked to Yin Jun in private, why didn't you come to me when you were filming this time? It can't be like this next time, we are still direct partners, and I am still taking care of your Kowloon Bus now!

However, Lei Juekun was just talking.

Many people are excited, but more people are waiting and watching.

There is no doubt that Yin Jun is doing Xiangjiang movies, but now he is making a global movie with a large investment of 60 million Hong Kong dollars, which makes people feel a little uneasy.

If it is messed up, it will be a loss of tens of millions. Which film company can afford it?

Of course, if "Police Academy" sells well at the box office, then it will be different, and even Lei Juekun will be stalking to join Yin Jun's next global film.

However, Yin Jun has no plan to come up with more good movies and share them with all filmmakers.

It is Yin Jun's expectation that Xiangjiang's filmmakers can produce high-quality products and earn money, but this does not mean that they can get something for nothing. If they do not have their own creativity, then sooner or later a country's films will be ruined.

What the teenager hopes more is to use "Police Academy" to stimulate those who really want to make movies, so that they can follow suit and make good movies with their own characteristics. Only in this way can a hundred flowers bloom.

The Chinese-language film industry can flourish only if, like the top seven in Hollywood, you chase after each other to make good movies!
