Chapter 476 The wings are hard and want to fly, favor one over the other(1/2)
‘Lost in Thailand’, after all, it’s still far away.
There is also a New Year holiday before the Spring Festival, and there is a National Day holiday before. Last year, Vientiane released the "Charlotte Troubles" and made a lot of money.
How could it be that most of the original cast members were unheard of? The shameful iron fist.
I must want to eat a piece of fat.
...
"Mr. Jiang, don't hurry this."
Chi Mo naturally said, "The movie has not been finished yet. Let's talk about the quality after the filming is finished. After all, it is not a series. If you don't watch it after watching it, it will be a pity."
"Hong Kong rumor is the third part of the Hug series after all. The youth of several generations have grown up watching Hong Kong movies, so it's relatively safer, right Mr. Jiang."
"Mr. Chi, I'm too modest."
Jiang Zhou chuckled, "No one in the industry knows Mr. Chi's ability, I don't know who Iron Fist script, but it's very funny to read some of the behind-the-scenes clips, right? Is that enough, right?"
"Comework, funny is half the success."
"Mr. Chi would better say it."
Jiang Zhou insisted, and Chi Mo shrugged, "I will definitely find Wanxiang when I release it. After all, the animation cooperation with Huanya is quite pleasant. Even if some other distribution companies give preferential benefits, Wanxiang's distribution capabilities are even stronger after all, so don't worry."
Jiang Zhou did not argue or deny it, but outsiders didn't know how he thought in his heart.
"If the box office share is accounted for, Mr. Jiang first said, how much box office reference value can Vientiane use!"
The ball was thrown back to Vientiane.
"Mr. Chi, what are the predictions?"
Piqiu kicked back again, Chi Mo smiled, "I said the prediction is not useful, but the box office of 'Charlotte' directly exceeded 1.5 billion from zero. The 'shamed iron fist', with the actors' fame, will be 1.8 billion or 2 billion, no matter how much."
"Anyway, I predict this, so the share ratio of the box office reference value cannot be too low."
"Mr. Jiang should report a number."
Hearing the words, Jiang Zhou seemed to ponder carefully, "1 billion! This reference value is not low."
Chi Mo refused to say anything, "Maybe it's not low. After all, at least the prediction of box office is predicted. Maybe it's possible that big pounces can be defeated, so I won't talk about it."
"After the production is finished, let's talk about it later."
"Besides, Vientiane release itself accounts for a certain amount of box office share, and it makes a lot of money."
"After all, the distribution and promotional fees are all paid by our producers, right?"
Chi Mo shrugged and felt sad, as if he was smiling bitterly.
This is like the vegetables in the vegetable farmland. They have to go through multiple links to finally reach the supermarket and vegetable market. The distribution company is between the producer and the theater. Although it has a specialty in its profession, it can be distributed through all channels.
But the share of the share is a certain proportion of the box office, and this share is actually a waste of money, because in most cases, the promotional and distribution costs are borne by the producer.
However, this is also because people have become bigger. For example, the proportion of people who can buy it is very high.
After all, a simple production company has to pay a price without distribution channels and connections.
The price is to share the profit.
...
“It all rises little by little.”
Jiang Zhou refused to argue, "If Jiuzhou becomes bigger and stronger in the future, it will be able to structure distribution and other film companies will be charged the same."
Chi Mo nodded, that's for sure.
There are specialties in the profession, the theater has a general management company, and some issuing companies, but they are not specialized.
Producers, such as Kyushu Rongzi, have scripts to find directors and actors, and the crew can shoot them if they are OK, and finally make the movie. However, if they want to release it, they need huge manpower and material resources all over the country.
The issuer needs to copy, apply for a key, schedule the schedule, send the copy to the theater, do publicity, purchase advertisements, negotiate the accounting ratio, and sign a contract with the theater (many of this part is signed by Huashu).
There are also physical work. Cinemas around the country do activities, publicity, advertising space in cinemas, gaze at podiums, and ticket monitoring, etc. These work are professional work. Generally, production companies cannot do it. Only some larger companies will include production and distribution business, such as Vientiane World Entertainment Thunder, etc.
Jiuzhou does not have this ability yet.
Tianyu Distribution Media does not produce film and television dramas, but only publishing business, and specializes in distribution work, TV series or movies.
Many people in Jiuzhou New Century secretly acquired Tianyu's equity and became shareholders, and they made an issue in disguise.
The Jiuzhou movie was handed over to Tianyu for distribution, so he divided the distribution into disguised ways, and at the same time he could earn extra big profits in the stock market.
If Jiuzhou holds a certain proportion of the equity of Vientiane, there is no need to consider delivering and issuing it.
There will always be a penny that flows back.
"The steps are too big, don't think about it now."
Chi Mo shook his head directly. Jiuzhou's current profit is actually quite considerable, and Starry Sky's profit is also the same. There is a lot of funds on hand. To be honest, if you really want to set up an issuance channel or acquire an unlisted small issuance company, it is actually possible, but it is not necessary.
A distribution company that is too small has insufficient channels across the country, and most of them are just empty spaces.
Another thing is that Jiuzhou’s production sector has not yet reached a certain scale. Although the revenue ratio is very high, they are all popular films.
Don’t do it until a certain size and scale are completely formed and the management and operation are completely standardized.
Jiuzhou Culture can hold the shares in general.
In the future, Starry Sky Pictures may be included in its subsidiaries, and Tianyu distribution will be included in its subsidiaries. If you invest in or buy some theaters, from production to distribution to terminal release, Kyushu Culture will have everything under it.
But the investment in theaters is too great.
It would be fine if nothing happened. The cost of a cinema can be recovered in more than ten years. In the future, except for maintenance, the rest is pure profit, which is a long-term investment.
But if you encounter an epidemic or something, then you will be over. If the theater is not open, you will have to pay back the loan.
Built in full, no one did that.
So Chi Mo had just planned to build a commercial plaza in Hangzhou before, and it would be enough to have an industrial guarantee. The whole country would become bigger and stronger, and it would be hard to say if it was.
Maybe it's not going to be successful, but the victory lies in stability.
...
"Mr. Chi, please report a number."
After three rounds of wine, Jiang Zhou still did not give up, so Chi Mo said nothing, "1.5 billion! This value is a reference, can everyone accept it?"
Can you sister.
Jiang Zhou was speechless.
In fact, the "Hong Kong Empress" needs to be based on the reference value of 800 million. Vientiane feels it is a bit high, and 500 million is still the same. There must be a ratio of value-added, right?
Therefore, although Vientiane supports the shooting of "Hong Kong Empress" and has also made transactions for the Hong Kong circle.
However, there has not been any specific details with Jiuzhou, but only a preliminary draft of the intention document.
After the "Lost in Thailand" is completely filmed and the production is completed in the later stage, the reference value and purchase ratio will be finally confirmed after the review of Vientiane Viewing.
800 million is the reference value Chi Mo had previously embraced the Hong Kong circle, and the wishes of Vientiane were up to 600 million.
Although the reference value is only 200 million, it is quite a lot of money when it comes to the box office share.
Who doesn't want to make more money?
Now, the "Shy Iron Fist" will be filmed in two or three months, and the production will be very fast. The National Day holiday will be released first, so naturally we must talk about Iron Fist first.
It can have a box office reference value of 1.5 billion, but it’s all about it.
Not to mention whether the Iron Fist will finally arrive, even if it can, how much additional value-added box office can be left?
"Mr. Chi, I have no sincerity."
Jiang Zhou was a little dark-faced, "This meal is really a waste of time. You have to give Vientiane some room for value-addedness. How about the 800 million value reference, it's not low."
"Brother, let's talk after the filming."
Chi Mo raised his glass. It was meaningless for the two of them to argue here. Although it was normal to bargain, I haven't even seen the goods yet, so I'm going to have a lot of trouble.
"After the iron fist is finished, I will invite Vientiane to watch and evaluate it as soon as possible, so don't worry."
"Even if you say 800 million now, Wanxiang will make a fuss when he sees it's a bit funny and it will make a fuss. You have to finish watching the goods so that both sides can have a conversation."
"Yes, I'll get this cup."
Jiang Zhou raised his glass and chuckled.
Today's goal has been achieved, and Chi Mo's avoidance attitude has already shown a lot.
If Mr. Luo of China, he should be secretly looking for a new issuing company. Few people will disclose this kind of news and will only be disclosed after the final acquisition. Therefore, it will take time to investigate. About a week, there should be some insights.
Jiuzhou's wings are hard and he wants to fly after all.
...
After lunch, Chi Mo went directly to Jinyue venue. When he came to Kyoto, he always had to visit the branch, and then discuss the company's development plan and discuss it.
Huanya Luo Chaofeng and Wanxiang Jiang Zhou all have urgent invitations to have dinner, something is wrong.
Chi Mo vaguely understood in his heart that he must have noticed something, but he didn't care much about it.
To be continued...
