Chapter 563: What is fake box office? This is ticket sales

Mid-to-early June.

【006】The box office trend in the Mainland is completely weak.

The single-day box office has been unable to maintain a volume of tens of millions of yuan. It has been hovering at eight to nine million yuan a day for several days.

Needless to say.

In a few days, [006]'s single-day box office in the mainland will quickly drop to five to six million, or two to three million yuan.

Then gradually draw down.

This is a general rule in the Mainland film market and cannot be changed by anyone's will, even if Zhang Nan is involved.

Of course.

At this time, "006" has accumulated more than 2 billion yuan in box office in the mainland, once again replicating the glory of "Transformers " and solidifying Zhang Nan's position as the only one in the mainland film and television industry.

And in the global film market.

The total box office of [006] has reached nearly billion US dollars, approaching billion US dollars, but its lack of stamina has begun to appear frequently.

But now that he has returned to the mainland from North America, Zhang Nan doesn't want to focus on the film and television situation in North America.

But there is no way.

It may be due to the drastic changes in human hormones caused by pregnancy. Li Jiaxin's lack of confidence, which Zhang Nan spent money on, has now recurred.

I kept caring about how much money Zhang Nan had earned recently.

Zhang Nan could tell that Li Jiaxin was not asking questions for herself, but for the child in her belly.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Nan had no choice but to be patient and inquire about the situation in North America to explain to Li Jiaxin his earnings in the past six months.

"Let's talk about my income as an actor first!"

"This year I guest-starred and starred in movies including [The Hunger Games 1], [Avengers 1], and [006]."

“In [The Hunger Games Part 1], I played a cameo for less than one minute in the finished film, but based on one minute’s duration, I received a fixed salary of 1500 million U.S. dollars and a % box office dividend. and dividends from surrounding areas.”

"The global box office of [The Hunger Games 1] is over 7 million US dollars. If we calculate it based on 7 million US dollars, I can get 2900 million US dollars in box office dividends and peripheral dividends..." Fans of this kind of novel change For the movie, the peripherals are a bit too much, so it’s estimated to be $ million, so that’s $ million in revenue.”

"Then there is [Avengers 1]. The movie has not yet been released, but it is almost there. Now that the box office has exceeded 15 billion US dollars worldwide, subsequent growth will basically be very slow, so we will calculate it based on the box office of 15 billion US dollars. "

"I have a guest role as the protagonist in this film. I have almost nine minutes of scenes in the finished film, which is ten minutes, a fixed salary of 1.5 million US dollars, plus 5% of box office dividends and peripheral dividends, almost It can have an income of million US dollars."

"The last one was starring in [006]. MGM gave me a fixed salary of US$ million, plus % of the box office dividend and % of the peripheral income."

"The global box office of [006] is now more than 19 billion US dollars, but the follow-up is obviously insufficient. It is estimated that breaking the global threshold of billion US dollars is a bit difficult, but a hundred million dollars is irrelevant, so I will just sum it up. , when the box office is two billion US dollars."

"A fixed salary of 4.9 million U.S. dollars and a 006% box office share is equivalent to billion U.S. dollars. However, the peripherals of this movie are relatively average. It is estimated that the overall revenue will be about million U.S. dollars. Seventy percent is Billion." "Total calculation, the revenue of [] is almost billion US dollars!"

"So - my income from acting in the first half of this year was approximately US$2.529 billion. Not to mention that you only have one baby in your belly, even if you have ten, I can afford it."

Having said this, Zhang Nan rubbed Li Jiaxin's already pregnant belly and joked.

Li Jiaxin listened carefully to Zhang Nan's settlement process, but when Zhang Nan interrupted her, she immediately quit.

"Ten? You think I'm a dog!" As he said this, he patted Zhang Nan with his hand.

Hearing this, Zhang Nan grabbed Li Jiaxin's Rouyi and said with a wicked smile: "Hehe."

Li Jiaxin's face turned red with embarrassment when she saw this, and she beat Zhang Nan relentlessly.

Zhang Nan didn't dare to resist, so he could only beg for mercy: "Stop hammering, stop hammering, be careful when you get tired, the accounts haven't been settled yet."

Li Jiaxin slowly stopped after hearing this.

Zhang Nan continued to take stock.

"There are also cameos in the future but have not yet been released in [Batman 3], [Skyfall], [The Hobbit], and [Pirates of the Caribbean 007]. It is estimated that the total revenue will be quite large."

"But my personal income from acting actually accounts for a small proportion of my income now. I also have the income sharing of artists such as Chenglong, Wu Jin, Zhou Jie... and the artist sharing contract of Longbow Film and Television Fund. The income from sales, distribution of Longbow...etc. is a mess, and none of it is less than the income from my personal appearance."

While explaining the composition of his income to Li Jiaxin, Zhang Nan's cell phone rang again.

When I took it over and looked at it, I found that it was actually a call from MGM Pictures.

Zhang Nan signaled to Li Jiaxin to stop making trouble, and then answered the phone.

Li Jiaxin didn't understand English very well, but she just watched Zhang Nan's face gradually become a little weird. After finally hanging up the phone, she grimaced as if it was difficult to deal with it.

"What's wrong?" Li Jiaxin asked with concern.

Zhang Nan couldn't worry Li Jiaxin, "It's another profitable business."

Profitable business with this expression on your face?

Zhang Nan understood the confusion in Li Jiaxin's eyes and explained: "It's just that this deal is a bit risky. MGM is afraid that [006]'s global box office will decline and it will not be able to break the two billion US dollar mark globally and thus gain financial status in North America." In the market, there is a huge loss of popularity and it is difficult to operate, so I want to ask my Longbow Distribution Company to secretly increase the box office of [006]."

"Fake box office?" Li Jiaxin has been in the entertainment industry after all, and she immediately understood Zhang Nan's somewhat metaphorical expression.

Hearing this, Zhang Nan quickly waved his hand and explained again: "What do you call fake box office? Tampering with box office data and stealing the box office of other people's movies is called fake box office. MGM Pictures takes real money. Give it to me, let me cover the movie screenings, but no one will come to see it. This is not a fake box office, at most it is just a false box office."

Li Jiaxin seemed to understand, and then said a little confused: "But...why did MGM find you to boost the box office? Isn't it itself a Hollywood giant? Its distribution channels are all over the world, and they are much larger than your Longbow Distribution."

"If you can do this kind of thing yourself, wouldn't it be self-inflicted? Moreover..., Hollywood giants have infiltrated a lot of commercial espionage into each other, and the major entertainment media have also infiltrated a lot of 'informants'. If MGM really did it themselves, it wouldn't be able to hide it," Zhang Nan explained.
