Nine Hundred and Thirty-Three. Benefit Maximization

"Because of profit!" Wang Yifan said calmly.

Why "Mad Max: Fury Road" affects so many people's hearts, to put it bluntly, is actually a matter of interest.

The first "Mad Max: Fury Road" was too profitable.

Although it is shared among the three companies, it is still quite profitable.

Judging from the current box office, the final box office in North America is expected to reach 300 million US dollars.

The global box office is expected to reach 800 million!

How much did Mad Max: Fury Road cost to produce? First of all, the production cost is about 120 million, which is 120 million, but this is only the production cost.

For the follow-up publicity, because the movie was a big hit, more money was spent on publicity.

At least double the cost!

That's $240 million!

So the question is, how much money can this movie make?

In fact, in terms of the box office in North America alone, the box office alone cannot pay back.

But in terms of global box office, it has already been able to pay back, and it has made a lot of money.

And more profits are in the sales of peripheral products, DVD rental sales, and various brand authorizations, as well as copyrights of other channels.

These are the big ones.

Normally, even if it is jointly invested by three companies, the three companies will share the profits generated by the movie together.

But it is enough for each company to make a profit of at least 100 million U.S. dollars. Here we are talking about pure profit, and this is a short-term profit!

In the long run, the film will at least give each company tens of millions of dollars.

"But for the second part, first of all, in terms of cost, 120 million is definitely not enough. In terms of the actors' salary alone, Anne Colleen will definitely ask for a sky-high salary."

"If the box office of the second film can reach the level of the first film, then there must be some profit. After all, all aspects of copyright and peripheral sales are linked to the film's box office, but the problem is that the second film , can it reach the height of the first one? Obviously impossible. But the cost will at least double! So, how much profit will be left?" Wang Yifan looked at Lin Husheng and asked.

Lin Husheng couldn't help but also frowned.

"Do you think the box office of the second film will be much worse than that of the first? Not so?" Lin Husheng asked.

However, Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "As for, why not? The movie "Mad Max: Fury Road" itself is different from other movies, it is an R-rated movie! The reason why it can get the current The results are actually caused by many reasons. Among them, the Palme d'Or and Best Actress awards at the Cannes Film Festival gave this film a lot of points, but is the second one possible? Obviously impossible, Even if the second film is good, but because the first film is too successful, the audience will have an expectation value for the second film that cannot be realized at all."

"So, it will be difficult for the second movie to perform well at the box office, and the word of mouth will definitely not be too good!" Wang Yifan shook his head.

"So, if you serialize it, you may be able to make money, but it will definitely not be more than you imagined, and it may even not make money at all! All in all, the risk is very high, so why don't we take it easy? With the current "Mad Max ·The performance of Fury Road, we can sell it for a good price, why bother to gamble for a future that may not have much profit, and the risk is quite high?" Wang Yifan said calmly.

Lin Husheng is not stupid. Before, he also subconsciously felt that the first part of "Mad Max: Fury Road" was so successful that serialization was a natural thing.

After all, this is really not too common in Hollywood.

But he overlooked one point, that is, serialized movies, not every series makes money.

In fact, there are indeed many serialized movies in Hollywood, but it does not mean that the serialized movies are all successful.

Many serialized movies have actually failed.

And looking at those series of movies, most of the time, the first one may be a hit, but it is definitely not the peak like the first one in "Mad Max Fury Road"!

Of course, there are exceptions, such as "Jurassic Park" in the previous life, but that's another problem. The story of the novel itself has not been fully filmed, and there are still many things that were not shown in the first part. That's why serialization is so successful.

But "Mad Max: Fury Road" is different. In fact, there is nothing new to show in this movie. No, it should be said that even if it shows brand new things, it is difficult to compare with the first one.

In the first movie, it can be said that it has brought a sense of surprise and surprise to the audience.

But the second one, is it possible?

Let’s talk about the role of Felosa again. In the first film, she was brave and independent, and never thought of relying on men.

And she did it. The reason why Firoza in the first part is likable is actually because of Anne Colleen's subversive style.

And this kind of subversion, which is useful the first time, is not very useful the second time.

Secondly, Ferosa has reached the extreme of the topic of feminism, or a balance point that everyone can accept.

She is already showing her best side.

One more point can't be done, and one point less can't be done, then the second part, the role of Felosa, will most likely directly set the character created in the first part to pull the hips.

It is conceivable that because of the matriarchal society mentioned in the first part, how will the second part be filmed?

It is very likely that it will continue the plot of the first part, so the question is, what will Firosha become at this time?

Queen?

"Moreover, the price of "Mad Max: Fury Road" sold to Matsumoto Universal and Mina Group will definitely not be low, especially at this time, I think this is the choice that maximizes the benefits." Wang Yifan finally said.

Lin Husheng nodded and said, "Hey, I just feel it's a pity, but what you said makes sense, after all, the first part was really too successful!"

Of course, it is too early to talk about "Mad Max Fury Road" with Mina Group and Matsumoto Universal.

At least we have to wait until the movie reaches its peak. At that time, we can definitely kill them!

This is the benefit of holding copyright.

In fact, Mina Group and Matsumoto Universal don't know this situation and possibility?

The answer is no, they know it, and Wang Yifan dares to say that they will never be so foolish as to think that the second film can surpass the first one, nor will they really think that the box office of the second film can match the first one.

But why are they still flocking to it?

Even to let Wang Yifan kill him?

This is to say that the interests of the film are formed.

First of all, for them, many costs do not exist, or are much lower than outsiders imagine.

For example, in terms of peripherals, both of them have their own huge channels.

If you use this channel with others, then of course they will charge a high price, but if you use it yourself, it is different.
