    ""Movie Information Station", I am the host Mosquito. Today we are mainly focusing on the latest movie of the great commercial director Wan Xiaohu." Southeast Satellite TV Economic Channel is showing an entertainment information program at ten o'clock.  "Wan Xiaohu, I believe everyone is familiar with it. The 2000 movie"The Wind", which was released not long ago, set a new box office record for domestic movies. Not only does he enjoy countless praises in Asia, he also has great reputations in Hollywood.  He is not an unknown person. A "Saw" movie made him a Hollywood director supernova" The host, Mosquito, was wearing a short skirt and dress, beautiful and charming. On normal days, the wolf friends in front of the TV would be in awe.  When watching entertainment news, you can see the graceful posture of mosquitoes walking around on it.  But this time it was different. A certain wolf friend muttered in a disgraceful manner: "Can you introduce "Wanted" quickly? There is so much nonsense." There was really a lot of nonsense from the mosquitoes: "Just some time ago, Dandelion  The official website of Wan Xiaohu released news that Wan Xiaohu's seventh film "Wanted" has been approved. This time, beyond everyone's imagination, the investment in the film reached 60 million US dollars, setting a record for a Chinese film, which is 500 million US dollars.  "How many RMB!" "We know that "The Promise" directed by Chen Kaige has an investment of 350 million yuan, and the new blockbuster "House of Flying Daggers" directed by Zhang Yimou has a total investment of almost 300 million yuan. In the next one or two years, the audience will  We must be lucky to be able to see so many domestic blockbusters. " "To get back to the subject, after the "Wanted" project was approved, the cast selection was completed quickly. The popular mainland actor Chen Kun was lucky enough to be selected as the male lead, and the Hollywood actor Jesse.  Alba will play the heroine, and the famous Fa Ge will play the second male lead. As for more details about the movie, we only know that it is an adaptation of the American comic book of the same name.  I learned a story about a very ordinary urban young man who was suddenly involved in an assassination plot by the Assassin League. He finally relied on hard work to become a top assassin, and justice defeated evil As for why Wan Xiaohu wanted to make such a film.  A movie, with questions, let us enter today's 'movie scene'" After the mosquito's nonsense is over.  The camera switched to a studio, with countless reporters holding microphones, and Wan Xiaohu holding three microphones, smiling and saying something in front of the camera.  The narration sounded: "On Wednesday, February 11th, Beijing time, the director of "Wanted", Wan Xiaohu, who was located in the Magic City filming base, accepted an interview with reporters. He gave a detailed explanation of his new movie." The sound on the screen seemed to be from someone  A reporter asked: "Director Wan, "Wanted" is adapted from an American comic. Why do you want to film an American story and change it to a Chinese background?" Wan Xiaohu leaned on his chair, crossed his legs, and had three in his hand.  microphone.  His expression was very casual: "I adapted this comic not to adapt the story, but because I really appreciate the fighting scenes outlined in the comic. The story itself has been modified a lot and placed in the city of Hong Kong. Overall  "For me, the story is not important. What is important is that I want to show a very cool and exciting action scene in the movie." "Except for Fa Ge, there is no one who is influential in Hollywood. Do you think such a Chinese film?  How to face the American audience? " "In fact, it is difficult for Chinese people to have much influence like Bruce Lee. So you ask me why I only invited Jet Li, Long Ge, and others.  For people like Michelle Yeoh, I can only say that it is not necessary. And I always believe that stars are the icing on the cake For example, if you don't hire stars, you may earn 300 million at the box office, but if you hire stars, you may earn 400 million.  A movie can only get 20 million at the box office. No matter how many stars you hire, it will only get 50 million at most. If you want to rely on stars to get hundreds of millions at once, it’s impossible. Otherwise, everyone will fight for the stars, and who will?  Tell stories. " What Wan Xiaohu said was quite polite. In fact, his appeal to celebrities is not as exaggerated as the media hype.  There are too many examples in later generations to prove that star appeal is illusory. "Avatar" did not have a single star, but it was still the best in the world. "Batman" Bell Christian was invited to "The Thirteen Girls", and the result was more than 30 movies in North America.  Ten thousand US dollars, not thirty million or three million, but more than three hundred thousand!  And Johnny Depp, the "Captain" who was the highest-paid actor in the world at the time, filmed "The Lone Ranger" at a cost of US$250 million, but lost all his money as a result.  There are too many such examples.  "The story is not good, and the stars really don't have much effect, especially for an action movie like "Wanted" that relies on bullet turning as a gimmick. What sells is not the star but the scene.  The reporter asked again: "Can Chinese-language films be sold at high prices? Hollywood seems to be very blurry about the faces of Oriental people, making it difficult to identify them?"Xiaohu said with a smile: "This is a Sino-US co-production, and the story is very simple. There is no Eastern subtlety and euphemism. All the money I spend will be on action scenes and special effects. The audience is not looking for these Eastern faces, but  Watch the fight. A simple and clear story, some hot scenes, this is a commercial film. " "Director Wan, as far as I know, neither Dandelion nor Sasha Entertainment has a global distribution network. Remember, they still need to rely on large companies for distribution.  "Saving Private Ryan" produced by DreamWorks has a global box office of nearly 500 million, and DreamWorks only received a profit of 30 million. How much box office does "Wanted" need to make back its money? " Wan Xiaohu was stunned, feeling that this question was inexplicable:  "Well, I don't know where you got this data from. I think you should first check the distribution and production sharing ratio in Hollywood. In Hollywood, the distribution and production ratio, the distributor gets about 5% of the box office.  The agency fee, and the investor’s share is 30%, especially based on the floating accounts for the first week and the next week, the ratio can be as high as 50% or 60%. In other words, basically I invest 60 million US dollars and get a  With a box office of two and a half times, the profit can be saved from the box office share alone, and other audio-visual products and peripheral products are profitable. "The share ratio of the global film market involves the share of imported films and the share of local films.  The split of accounts for imported films varies from place to place, but the general rule is 35% for production: 17% for distribution: 48% for theaters, that is, 48% for theaters in the region, 35% for foreign producers and distributors, and 48% for distribution in the region.  The proportion of Fang's share of the account is 17%.  Among them are foreign producers (investors).  A 5% agency fee must be paid to the foreign issuer.  This is what Wan Xiaohu said, investors can get 30% of the box office in overseas regions.  There are still many countries and regions where films are underdeveloped. In order to purchase more foreign films, the share ratio will be higher. For example, in Taiwan, the share ratio is more than 50% for foreign producers and distributors.  At this time, the producer can even get 45% of the box office share.  The reason why many blockbusters like to start from the small box office and be released first is because the box office has a lot of distribution, so naturally they have to take care of it. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Let’s not talk about the previous account sharing ratio, after joining the WTO.  Begin to align with international practices.  First, the box office must contribute 5% of the total to the National Film Development Special Fund and 3.3% business tax.  The remaining part is divided according to the upstream and downstream accounts, with upstream distribution and production taking 43%, and downstream theaters and theaters taking 57%.  ??Of which 43% is upstream, and 15% is allocated to the issuer.  That is to say, the distributor takes 5% to 8% of the total share, and the producer takes about 35% to 38%. In fact, it may be lower, because the distribution exploits the producer more.  Starting from "Hero" in 2002, the producers Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou teamed up to achieve an unprecedented 40% share of the bill. Subsequently, Wan Xiaohu's "The Wind" also shared the bill at 40%.  This is a treat exclusive to blockbusters.  As for "Wanted Order", Wan Xiaohu has already said hello to the above, and the account sharing ratio will be increased to an unprecedented 45% share.  In order to encourage Chinese-language blockbusters, the higher authorities have begun to fight for "Wanted".  In North America, the distribution method of "Wanted" has not yet been determined. After all, the publisher has not been chosen yet.  Hollywood's account sharing is more interesting. It is a floating system (mentioned before in "The Butterfly Effect"). There are three ways to negotiate a guaranteed floor price, a fixed price and a share. The share is not fixed.  But it will be adjusted according to the release time.  Specifically, in the first week, the share ratio between producers and theaters is 9:1, and may drop to 8:2 in the second week, and then as the release time gets longer.  The greater the theater chain's share, the more it will encourage the theater chain to extend the release cycle of a movie.  “In the harvest period of the first few weeks, the producers can also divide the accounts as much as possible.  After all, the theater here can earn a lot just by selling some French fries and soda, so the split can naturally be reduced a bit.  Rather than as the reporter just said, DreamWorks only received a pitiful US$30 million for "Saving Private Ryan". First, its US$70 million cost must be recovered, and then profits can be discussed. From this point of view, the box office share is basically  No less than 100 million.  “And in Hollywood, the distributor is responsible for the publicity fees, and the producers just wait for a share and don’t worry about publicity at all.  Then we will prepare audio-visual products and TV broadcasting rights for another round of profits.  As long as the box office is two to three times the cost, no movie will lose money.  These are all protections for producers. After all, the Hollywood film industry is much more mature, unlike China, which exploits producers too harshly.  This is why Wan Xiaohu wants to use a co-production method instead of a domestic film.  After figuring out the box office calculation method, the reporter asked again: "The heroine Jessica Alba is not a big star in Hollywood. Why choose her?" Wan Xiaohu touched his chin: "Do you know, Jessica Alba is not a big star in Hollywood?"  Sika Alba’s mainland agency contract was signed in a flash??星?  And I worked with Jessica on "Saw," and even though she didn't have a lot of roles, I still think she's a rising star.  Moreover, she was also selected into the list of the top 100 sexy stars in the world by European and American magazines, and her future development is very promising.  ” Jessica Alba is not a big star in film and television, but she has shot a lot of commercials and TV series, and is now somewhat famous. And her appearance is a natural for both East and West. She is Wan Xiaohu’s goddess, and she has unlimited talents.  Stardom, it would be unreasonable not to praise such an actor. PS: Because some readers question the box office split of "Wanted", I will say more and introduce these popular science knowledge. To be honest, I am too lazy to write.  I will like to read it and try to write as little as possible in the future.
