You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 142 "The Chamber of Secrets" is the bottom painting, and the concubine Yi is on the top (1, guarantee)
"Are these teachers considered happy twist actors?" Concubine Liu Yi asked.

Shen Pain explained, "As long as they act in Twist dramas, they are Twist's own people, but their contracts are far more relaxed than our Twist contracted artists, and they have a higher degree of freedom."

Concubine Liu Yi nodded. She knew that a lot of preparations had to be done before the play started, so she and Shen Tong Ma Li came to the side of the stage so as not to disturb them.

"Sister Li, what's the play that's being rehearsed today?" Concubine Liu Yi's perception of Happy Twist is "I want to eat twist for you now", a work by Director Tian, ​​well-known hosts He Jiong and Xie Na, famous model Yu Nadu Has participated in.

Ma Li said, "Happy Twist 2006 Tease the Landlord, it tells the story of people with lofty ideals in the old magic capital during the Republic of China eradicating the old landlord of the gangster. This is already the fourth part of the Twist series."

Since starting the business in 03, the team has produced a new drama every year, and now they can barely support themselves. If they want to live a better life, the actors have to go outside to accept some film and television dramas.

"Ah, it's already the fourth one." Concubine Liu Yi was a little surprised. It's not easy to arrange a play well. Usually, it takes tens or hundreds of rehearsals before it can finally be shown on stage.

Ma Li laughed, "The script for the fifth part has also been written, and the rehearsal will start soon. Guess who directed this play."

"I don't know any drama directors." Concubine Liu Yi was confused, and then Ma Li pointed to Shen Pain beside her.

Concubine Liu Yi couldn't believe it, "Brother Teng, he's still a director?!" He doesn't look like a director!

"Look at what you said, Brother Teng directed our third play, he can direct, act, lie, write, all-rounder!" Ma Li spared no effort to praise Shen Tong.

Shen pained and stroked his hair, "Sister Yifei, do you want to know what story my new drama is about?"

"Well, I want to!"

Shen Tong pulled up a stool, and the three of them sat down, "It's about a stone, three local thieves, a hired thief, and a group of people getting mixed up..."

"Wait!" Concubine Liu Yi stopped, "Brother Teng, you sound a lot like "Crazy Stone"?"

Shen Pain was puzzled, and he looked around, "It's "Crazy Stone", didn't I say it?"

Ma Li, "I started to forget when I was only in my 20s, you didn't tell me."

"Okay, let me say it again, this drama is changed from "Crazy Stone", which was popular this year, but the plot has been changed. The movie is about jadeite, we are talking about gallstones, and the protagonist is Xie Xiaomeng, the son of the factory director. And nurse Jingjing."

"Brother Dao's girlfriend?"

"Yes, yes, have you seen it?"

"More than once." Concubine Liu Yi thought that the last time she and Yang Mi watched with Wang Quan.

Ma Li looked at her watch, "Brother Teng, the time is almost up."

Glancing at the auditorium, Shen painfully invited, "Then let's go to the audience to watch the performance."

"Uh-huh."

There were seats reserved for the three of them in the front row. Seeing that the seats in the back were almost full, Concubine Liu Yi praised, "It's really amazing that the drama has such an attendance rate!"

Shen smiled painfully, "Our happy twist is well-known in the industry, and there are many loyal audiences in the capital."

Concubine Liu Yi glanced again, "Brother Teng, your loyal audience is a bit older?"

Ma Li covered her mouth, trying not to let herself laugh.

Shen Pained, "Sister Yi Concubine, you have discerning eyes, who has the time and money to watch dramas these days, those retired old men and old ladies, nowadays young people don't like to have children, old people don't even need to bring grandchildren, don't you?" Can it only cultivate sentiment?"

Concubine Liu Yi nodded, it makes sense!
The drama lasted for two hours, but Concubine Liu Yi felt that the time passed so quickly, laughing and laughing, two hours passed.

Afterwards, Ma Li took Concubine Liu Yi to have a meal nearby. Seeing Concubine Liu Yi's excitement, Shen Pain suggested, "How about my sister, why don't you come to Mahua to play? The role of Jingjing in "Crazy Stone" has not yet been decided." Woolen cloth."

"Ah, this," Concubine Liu Yi was moved. Jingjing is actually a little bitch. She has an affair with Dao brother, Xie Xiaomeng, and even Dao brother's younger brother. This role is too challenging. "But I have to prepare for it next time." It’s going to the Spring Festival Gala.”

"What, you're going to the Spring Festival Gala, but I haven't been there yet!" Shen Tong was shocked, can anyone go up to perform sketches now?

Ma Li, "Concubine Yi, you want to sing, right? Just meow like a cat?"

"Well, I'm going to submit a program in two days," Concubine Liu Yi said with a smile, "But it doesn't have to be meowing, Wang Quan wrote me a new song."

Although Shen Pain is not a shareholder of Twist, but he is considered a veteran of the entrepreneurial venture. He really wants to keep Concubine Liu Yi to improve Twist's current half-dead state. You can see how popular the songs she sang are. The same song , It is impossible for others to sing to have such influence.

But people are going to the Spring Festival Gala, and they can't be delayed. This is a big deal, so I won't mention it anymore.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Liu Yi suddenly said, "Brother Teng, if I were to be the B role, or other supporting roles, wouldn't I have to rehearse every day?"

"Hmm!" Shen's aching eyes lit up in a blink of an eye.

An upscale restaurant in Los Angeles.

Wang Quan already knew the purpose of Charlize Theron's visit, and thought he wanted to tell him about the child, but it turned out to be about the script.

This script has been tossed around in Hollywood for ten years and no one has made it. A while ago, Warner wanted to make it, but then gave up and passed it to Sony.

Since no one has filmed it for ten years, there must be a big problem. Now Sony invites Theron to play the leading role, so she is a little hesitant.

This film has a good lineup, the male lead is the popular Will Smith, and the investment budget is as high as 1.5 million. It can be regarded as the top production that she can come into contact with. I want to get in touch with a big production with over [-] million yuan.

Wang Quan smiled, "You really think highly of me."

Why are there so many people looking for me to read the script now? Jay Chou in the front and Charlize in the back.

"Everyone says you know scripts very well, and you are an expert in this field." Theron took a sip of coffee gracefully.

In fact, Wang Quan can tell her directly, shoot, this film finally broke [-] million dollars at the global box office, ranking fourth in North America and the world, and the superwoman played by Charlize Theron is not a heroine with a weak presence in conventional hero movies , On the contrary, it is very strong, and the scenes of beating Hancock violently are extremely savage, and this role is not a loss.

However, Wang Quan still read the script pretendingly, and he also understood Charlize’s concerns. In a superhero blockbuster, the hero and heroine divorced, and the heroine got married again. Unreliable.

But you have to think about it this way, the Superman you see now is the kind of serious one, and a Superman like Hancock suddenly came, and the audience looked fresh.

Wang Quan sighed, "I'm afraid I can't finish reading a meal. I can't let me take this script."

"No," Theron said again, "Why don't you go to my house and have a look before leaving? Take a look at Juno by the way."

This child seems to be a very important link between them, although the child is not theirs.

"Yes." Wang Quan readily agreed.

Arriving at Theron's house, expecting to see her boyfriend, she says, "He's in my house."

Oh, I almost forgot that these two people are not married yet, and they will break up in two years. Wang Quan teased little Juno, and suddenly realized, "What does this child look like? Something is wrong."

Theron, "No way, I take good care of you!"

She thought that Wang Quan felt that he had not raised the child well.

Wang Quan, "No, no, look at her eyes, they seem to be Asian?"

I didn't feel it when I was just born, but now it has been more than a month, and I have grown a lot, and more facial features have been revealed, very similar to Asians.

Theron, "But her hair isn't black, but her eyes are..."

King Quan then ran aside and called Lily and asked her about the child's biological father, George.

"He, he is of mixed Chinese and American race," Lily said innocently, "Didn't I say that before?"

Kingship, "No!"

"So what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm just making sure."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Quan told Theron, "This child has a quarter of Chinese blood, and now it seems that this quarter of blood is very strong."

Theron said it doesn't matter, what happened to the yellow race, she thought about adopting black children before.

"No wonder she's so beautiful, even people of mixed race are beautiful." Theron kissed the baby's face empty.

Seeing that she and her adoptive daughter had a good relationship, Wang Quan was relieved, and then he read the script in the living room, Theron sat beside Wang Quan holding the baby, and hummed softly in her ear.

Those who didn't know thought they were a family of three.

On the surface, he read the script for two hours. In fact, Wang Quan watched the movie in the video library, then turned to Theron and said, "The script is good, you can take it at ease."

Theron saw that Wang Quan was so serious and devoted to watching it just now, and knew that he was not perfunctory, so he finally settled down.

At this moment, Juno suddenly launched an attack on her, and plunged into her chest, his small mouth clicked like he was looking for something.

Wang Quan smiled, "It seems that Juno is hungry, so I won't disturb her meal."

Theron called the nanny over and told her to nurse the baby, and she sent the regalia off.

Soon, King Power saw the news from the media that Charlize Theron and Will Smith would star in "The Superman Hancock".

In Dorothy's office, besides the entertainment news, he also saw the final North American box office data of "Escape Room".

1.086 million dollars!

This is the box office data for 10 weeks of release, almost two and a half months, at which time "Escape Room" has officially launched in North America.

In fact, the box office after one month will be very low. If Dorothy can hope that the box office will exceed [-] million, she will sell the painting, but the contract negotiated before makes her helpless and can only wait until now.

Don’t think that a long release time is a good thing. The box office of a movie can only be settled after it is officially released. Others, such as DVDs, can only be released after the release of the theater. Big companies don’t care. Small companies hope to get the money earlier, and then proceed Next step.

Although the theaters did not receive much box office during this period, the money was in their hands, and more than a month was enough to generate a lot of money.

Fortunately, the money is finally in the account now.

The distribution of accounts for theaters in the United States is basically step-by-step, divided into two modes.

One is the September [-] split, which will be lowered to [-] after two weeks, and seven to three in two weeks, that is to say, at the beginning, the film can get [-]% of the box office!
But don't be too happy, this kind of account sharing is the share after deducting the necessary expenses of the theater from the total box office, that is to say, the theater has to deduct a part to get [-] points. , without the support of a strong lawyer and accounting team, Dorothy would naturally not choose this option. She chose the second option, six to four points!

This division is the box office on the bright side, as much as the data shows.

In the first two weeks, [-]% will be allocated to filmmakers, and [-]% will be allocated to theaters.

After two weeks, the film side will be reduced by [-]%, becoming five or five points, and then four or six.

If you encounter a super blockbuster that is popular across the country, the theaters will even make concessions to [-]% or [-]%, which is exactly the opposite of the domestic film side, which is [-]% of the film.

Theaters are not stupid either. In North America, the box office accounts for only 40% of the cinema’s revenue. Most of the profits are popcorn, drinks and advertisements, which can even account for more than 80% of the profits!

Therefore, they can suffer a bit for popular blockbusters, and the most important thing is to ignite the market and attract audiences to movie theaters.

However, in order to spread "Escape Room" on a large scale, Boss Tao also made some concessions, so the film crew's share in the first two weeks did not even reach 60%.

In the end, for the more than 1 million box office, Dragon Head can receive 5120 million.

Coupled with the previous overseas copyright distribution of 1160 million and Boss Hou's 1000 million sponsorship fee, the current movie revenue has exceeded 7000 million!
After the theatrical distribution, home entertainment distribution and TV distribution will begin.

Home entertainment releases include DVD, Blu-ray, videotape, video on demand (including on planes, in hotels).

The TV distribution will be later, including various TV stations, TV networks, satellite TV and so on.

The development of derivatives is also a very important piece of fat, and the escape room can be regarded as the fire of all kinds of Luban locks.

It may take a year and a half for all these distribution work to be completed, but judging from the popularity of "Escape Room" in movie theaters, these things can be estimated at an approximate price.

In the end, the income of this movie will not be less than [-] million knives!

The profit minus the cost is the profit of the movie.

So how much does it cost?

Dorothy told Wang Quan that because they are a new team, the cost of publicity and distribution is higher than that of big companies, but fortunately, a lot of publicity work was done by Hussein. He promoted his secret room game, and by the way, " "Escape Room" was publicized, so it was quite economical.

In the final production cost plus publicity cost, she came up with a rough figure, "2800 million."

The production cost of the film is only 600 million. It seems that setting up a distribution and publicity team is indeed a big expense, but Boss Tao comforted him, "Now is the initial stage of building a framework. When the company releases more films in the future, the cost will increase." If it is evened out, the publicity fee will definitely come down."

Wang Quan did some calculations. As a director, he can at least get more than 1000 million knives. Maybe he can get 2000 million knives. [-] million RMB.

Moreover, I am still a shareholder of the company, and as a shareholder, it is tens of millions of dollars!However, the money should be used for company development and investment in follow-up projects.

Wang Quan can't wait for his new film to be released, there are still ten days left, and at this time "Latent" has finished filming, and now Wang Quan is busy working with Yu Rentai on post-production, this low-budget horror film is expected to be released in March next year~
(Is there still a monthly pass? I have to break the 4000 tickets. The next chapter will be released on Juno!)
