Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 859 2010 and 2011 of Liangtianchi Film Group
"Yesh!" Chen Hao saw that "Inception" finally overtook "Avatar" at the box office and was crowned the box office champion of mainland film history, and he couldn't help feeling excited.

Excited, Chen Hao hugged Sister Shi directly by the waist, and spun round and round.

"Ah..." Sister Shi screamed in fright, and at the same time could clearly feel the excitement of the man beside her.

"Film history box office champion, finally got it!" Chen Hao laughed.

Sister Shi hugged Chen Hao tightly and said with a smile, "Congratulations, all wishes come true!"

Chen Hao laughed when he heard the words, "Congratulations, you have to take some practical actions!"

Sister Shi looked at Chen Hao's handsome face after hearing this, and her expression changed, "No, I can't... um..."

……

Another week passed and it was December.

In the past half a month, Sister Shi has personally felt Chen Hao's strength, and every time she passed out, she couldn't help but think that it would be great if someone came to help.

She also fully understood that it was impossible for the man in her body to belong to only one woman!
Because Chen Hao was leaving North America to return to China, the annual meeting of Liang Tianchi Films could only be brought forward.

In the company's small office, Chen Hao, Smart, Kevin Feige, and Benjamin were all present.

"Let me talk about Liang Tianchi Films first!" Smart said, "The company participated in the investment and production of 2010 films in 4, namely "Thor", "Captain America", "Fast and Furious 5" and "The Twilight Saga 3"!
There are also 3 movies released this year, namely "Iron Man 2", "Dancing Out of My Life 3" and "Twilight 3"!
"Iron Man 2", with an investment cost of 2 million US dollars, and a North American box office of 3.12 million US dollars, ranked third in the 2010 annual box office list in North America, second only to "Toy Story 3" and "Alice in Wonderland"!
The box office outside North America was 3.11 million US dollars, and the global box office totaled 6.23 million US dollars, ranking No. 2010 in the global movie box office list in 7!
The company received a share of US$1.716 million in the North American box office. After deducting taxes, the company actually received US$1.6302 million.

Companies outside of North America received a box office share of US$1.0885 million, excluding taxes, and actually received US$9252 million.

Excluding the investment cost of 2 million US dollars, the company's net profit at the box office was 5554 million US dollars.

"Dancing Out of My Life 3" had an investment cost of 3000 million US dollars, and we and Disney each contributed half of the funds. The North American box office of the film was 5569 million US dollars, the overseas box office was 4531 million US dollars, and the global box office totaled 1.01 million US dollars!
Both the North American box office and the overseas box office have hit a series of new lows. After discussion, the company decided to sell the remaining half of the copyright to Disney.

This half of the copyright allowed the company to earn $3500 million, while the company still enjoyed half of the copyright profits of the first three parts of the series.

The company received a North American box office share of 1392 million U.S. dollars, and after deducting taxes, it actually received 1322 million U.S. dollars.

The overseas box office was divided into 790 million U.S. dollars. After deducting taxes, the actual receipt was 673 million U.S. dollars.

The company actually received a total of 1995 million U.S. dollars, and after deducting the investment cost, the net profit at the box office was 495 million U.S. dollars.

Finally, "Twilight Saga 3", with an investment cost of 6500 million US dollars, and a North American box office of 3.01 million US dollars, ranked No. 2010 in the 4 North American box office list!
The overseas box office was 3.925 million US dollars, and the global box office totaled 6.935 million US dollars, ranking No. 2010 in the global movie box office list in 6!
The company received a North American box office share of 1.6555 million U.S. dollars, and after deducting taxes, it actually received 1.5727 million U.S. dollars.

The overseas box office was divided into 1.37375 million U.S. dollars. After deducting taxes, the actual receipt of 1.1676 million U.S. dollars.

The company received a total of US$2.7403 million in box office revenue, and after deducting costs of US$6500 million, the net profit at the box office was US$2.0903 million.

公司今年的2部电影《钢铁侠2》以及《暮光之城3》表现极其出色，分列北美票房排行榜的第3和第四，全球票房排行榜的第6和第7！

This is unique among independent film companies, even more dazzling than the performance of Hollywood giants!
Overall, in terms of film investment and production, the company invested a total of 2010 million US dollars in the production of 4.8 films in 4.

The 3 films released won a North American box office of 6.6869 billion US dollars, an overseas box office of 7.4881 billion US dollars, and a global box office of 14.175 billion US dollars!
The company received a global box office share of 6.015195 million U.S. dollars. After deducting taxes, the actual receipts were 5.4952 million U.S. dollars. After excluding investment costs of 4.8 million U.S. dollars, the net profit at the box office was 6952 million U.S. dollars! "

Smart then added, "The company could have gotten more box office revenue in 2010, but the three A-level productions with a total investment of 3 million won't be released until next year."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words, obviously they all knew that it was "Thor", "Captain America" ​​and "Fast and Furious 5"!
"Go ahead!" Chen Hao said.

"Then there is the income from the company's distribution of films. In 2010, the company controlled or participated in the distribution of 12 films, an increase of 20% compared to last year.

After excluding publicity expenses, a total profit of 4600 million U.S. dollars, excluding taxes, net profit of 4370 million U.S. dollars.

By the way, the company's current distribution capacity has expanded to about 2500, an increase of about 200 compared to last year.

In addition, the company's film library and other copyright income, through Sony Columbia's distribution channel, the film library has brought a total of 4500 million US dollars in revenue to the company.

After deducting taxes, the company's 2010 copyright income net profit was 4275 million US dollars! said Smart.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, and he has gained a lot in terms of distribution and film library revenue. Obviously, it is also because Liang Tianchi Pictures' distribution capabilities and film library are gradually growing.

"Let's talk about the company's expenditures in 2010, first of all, the company's loans and debts, loans 1530 million, debts 5000 million, plus the company's rent, wages and other expenses 350 million, a total of 6880 million US dollars.

Counting all expenses and profits, the company's actual net profit in 2010 was US$8717 million! said Smart.

Chen Hao nodded after hearing this. It can be said that the company was fully supported by the two films "Iron Man 2010" and "Twilight Saga 2" in 3.

Especially "Twilight Saga 3", the net profit is much higher than that of "Iron Man 2".

Fortunately, it won this fiery series of movies at that time, otherwise Liang Tianchi Pictures, which opened the Marvel superhero movie universe, would have needed continuous blood transfusions.

Fortunately, the "Twilight Saga" series has the last one, and the company plans to divide it into two episodes, and another big series "The Hunger Games" is about to start.

It should be able to alleviate the huge investment cost pressure of Quantianchi Pictures.

After Smart glanced at Chen Hao, he continued, "Next is Liang Tianchi Films' 2011 film investment and production plan, the company will invest in the production of 6 films next year.

分别是投资7800万的《饥饿游戏》、2亿美元的《复仇者联盟》、2亿的《暮光之城4》、150万的《潜伏》（《阴儿房》）、8000万的《宿醉2》以及2000万的《电锯惊魂7》！
The five films will have a total investment of US$6 million, an increase of 5.795% from this year's US$4.8 million.

In addition, in 2011, the company still needs to repay bank loans of 1530 million US dollars, Marvel debt of 7000 million US dollars, and other costs of about 350 million US dollars.

In other words, the company's current known spending in 2011 will reach $6.683 million! "

Chen Hao nodded slowly when he heard the words. The investment next year will be as high as 6.683 million US dollars, which is not a small amount, especially for an independent film company, the risk is extremely high.

"Is the money in the company's account and the money that has not yet arrived enough?" Chen Hao asked with a frown.

"The company now has $6.3597 million on its books, which is $3233 million short of next year's budget.

However, the budget does not need to be allocated all at once. You can allocate part of it first, and then wait for the box office share of the movies that are released first, so that it can still be turned around. said Smart.

Chen Hao was relieved when he heard the words. He was very satisfied with not letting Chen Hao inject capital into Tianchi Films even though the total investment was as high as 6.683 million US dollars.

However, it can be seen that Liang Tianchi Pictures has been under great financial pressure. Not only will there be "Twilight 4" this year, but also "The Hunger Games" and "The Hangover 2". As a director, he started filming the low-budget thriller "Latent".

It can be seen that the company urgently needs these films that are not too expensive but have great box office prospects to relieve the huge financial pressure.

"Benjamin, let's talk about the future 3D!" Chen Hao said directly.

Hearing this, Benjamin said, "In 3, the 2010D movie projection system developed by the company sold a total of 408 sets of projection equipment, a year-on-year increase of 70%.

Among them, 200 sets were sold to mainland China, and 208 sets were sold in the United States.

The selling price of each set of 3D projection equipment is 15 US dollars, and our profit margin was 6 US dollars, but after we handed over the OEM to the mainland, the profit margin rose to 7.5 US dollars.

In other words, the company's sales in 2010 were 3060 million US dollars, and after deducting taxes, the net profit was 2907 million US dollars! "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. The big sales of 3D projection equipment were obviously influenced by the global sweep of "Avatar".

There has been a wave of 3D all over the world, and theaters around the world have naturally begun to refit. Although the cost is a bit higher, the lack of 3D will greatly affect the viewing effect.

Many movie fans who pursue sensory stimulation are likely to choose other theaters. In order to attract movie fans, the theater can only be remodeled.

However, after the modification, the ticket price of 3D will also increase a lot. In the long run, the theater still makes money.

"What I said at this time last year is that "Avatar" is likely to set off a global 3D boom, and it has now been fulfilled." Chen Hao said, "And this trend is not temporary, and will last for a long time.

Human beings' pursuit of entertainment enjoyment is endless. After experiencing the sensory stimulation of 3D, it is impossible to return to 2D.

And in the future, 3D special effects blockbusters will become popular. Marvel's superhero movie universe is the best example, and if you want the best viewing effect, then 3D is definitely inseparable.

Therefore, in the next one or two years, many theaters will definitely pay close attention to the 3D transformation of theaters, so in the future, 3D companies will still have at least 2 years of bonuses to eat.

In the mainland, it will take longer. If you want to seize this opportunity, you must make achievements. "

"I understand, Mr. Chen." Benjamin said, "This year, the sales of theaters in both the mainland and the United States have increased significantly, and there are still many theaters in both places that do not have 3D projection systems. These are our potential customers.

At the same time, in addition to the United States and the mainland, there are many island countries, Canada, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and other regions that also urgently need the transformation of 3D projection systems, and we have many potential customers. "

Chen Hao nodded happily when he heard the words, "Then we must catch these customers as soon as possible."

"The company has already formulated a corresponding plan, which will be officially implemented next year. What's more, the giant screen projection technology developed by the company has been tested after many improvements. If it is qualified, it will be put into mass production next year." Benjamin said.

Chen Hao laughed after hearing this, "Very good, well done!"

The most extreme viewing experience in the cinema is definitely the IMAX giant screen, which is more hearty than 3D, and the ticket price is also more expensive.

"Okay, Kevin, let's talk about Marvel Entertainment!" Chen Hao said.

Kevin Feige said, "Marvel Entertainment's revenue basically comes from copyright revenue, and the biggest revenue this year comes from "Iron Man 2."

In addition, influenced by the two "Iron Man" movies, as well as "Thor" and "Captain America" ​​are about to be released, including "The Avengers" is about to be filmed.

These involved superhero comics and product licensing revenues have seen a relatively large increase, so in 2010, Marvel’s total revenue for the whole year was 4800 million US dollars, more than doubled compared to last year.

After deducting expenses such as taxes and wages, Marvel's 2010 net profit was 4400 million US dollars! "

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, then looked at Kevin Fitch and said, "I have something to tell you first, if nothing else happens, after the release of "The Avengers" in 2012, I should sell some comics. Wei Entertainment’s equity.”

Kevin Fitch raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Why? Isn't the box office performance of "Iron Man" 2 very good, and "Thor", "Captain America" ​​and "Avengers" are all ready."

"Don't worry, don't get excited!" Chen Hao waved his hand, "The main problem is the production cost and distribution channels. Affected by the economic crisis, each company doesn't have much money now.

In addition, the distribution channels of Liang Tianchi Films are not large. If you want to truly and completely implement the Marvel superhero movie universe, you must have Hollywood giants to enter the game. "

After hearing the words, Kevin Fitch paused, and after thinking about it, he said, "I see."

After all, the investment cost of each film is more than [-] million, even Hollywood giants can't afford it, let alone Liangtianchi Films!
"Don't worry, I'm just selling part of the shares." Chen Hao said, "I promise not to let them affect Marvel's independent creation, I can assure you of this."

Kevin Fitch nodded and said, "That would be the best."

Just shoot laymen commanding experts!
"Okay, thank you three and everyone for your hard work this year, hard work!" Chen Hao said, "In this way, Marvel Entertainment's net profit this year will be handed over to the parent company."

Kevin Fitch nodded when he heard the words. It was like this last year. He also knew the financial pressure of Tianchi Films, so he readily agreed.

As for the future 3D, Chen Hao does not intend to draw blood, because it still needs money to invest in the production and sales of IMAX.

"Okay, thank you again for your hard work this year. This is a reward for you." After Chen Hao finished speaking, he took out three checks and handed them to the three. Money is the most direct and effective.

Smart, Benjamin, and Kevin Feige all smiled and took it directly.

Afterwards, Chen Hao took out another check and handed it to Smart, "It's the end of the year, take everyone to relax, I have to hurry back to China, so I won't participate."

"Happy to help!" Smart flipped the check and smiled after taking it.
