How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 99
As for Disney and [-]th Century Fox, after seeing this single-week box office data, some of the dissatisfaction with Zhang Nan's decision to hastily release "Modu Martial Arts" on September [-] disappeared immediately.

The eyes of both parties looked at Zhang Nan with green light—it was the color of US dollars.

You must know the production fee of [Magic City Martial Art Museum], but they haven't even spent 5000 million US dollars.

And the box office of the first week of 1.8 million U.S. dollars, even if it is half as much as the theaters.

The 50.00% share is as high as 9000 million US dollars, not only earning back the investment, but also almost doubling it.

You must know that September is an unpopular schedule, and it can make such a box office hit.

And it's only the first week.

Then if [Magic City Martial Arts] is put in the summer vacation...

Thinking of this, Disney and [-]th Century Fox feel heartache.

Then——If your heart hurts, then act.

Yes.

The movie here has not been drawn yet, and even the first week has just ended.

Disney and Twentieth Century urged Zhang Nan to start the project of the third [Wuguan] series.

Facing such enthusiastic Disney and Twentieth Century Fox.

Zhang Nan directly put forward the request to bring capital into the group.

After all, this is the third part, and the entire [Wuguan] series can't be played without him.

In addition, Zhang Nan has enough background now, no matter what he has the strength to step into the level of bringing capital into the group in this project, and obtain greater profit returns.

Faced with Zhang Nan's request, Disney and [-]th Century Fox hesitated.

But looking at [Magic City Martial Arts] who was still raking in money in the film market, he finally agreed with gritted teeth and tears.

However, in terms of how much money will be brought in and how much profit will be accounted for, Disney and Fox said that it depends on the final box office of "Modu Martial Arts".

This made Zhang Nan very upset.

With a firm attitude, he stopped the negotiation with Disney and Fox about bringing capital into the group of the "Martial Arts" series.

The reason why the reaction was so intense was because Zhang Nan knew it very well.

Don't look at [Modu Wuguan]'s momentum is so strong now, with a single week of 1.8 million US dollars, even if the first week's box office accounted for the minimum standard of one-third of the total box office, the final box office will still be 5.4 million US dollars.

If calculated according to the ratio of one-fourth, it would be 7.2 million US dollars, which is even higher than the 2 million US dollars in [Jurassic Park 6.18].

But my family knows my own affairs.

[Magic City Martial Arts]'s box office in the first week is so impressive, it contains a lot of water, it can't be taken seriously, a lot of it is the effect of his golden fingers.

And even though his Golden Finger had fully exerted its box office appeal within a month, the effect was more first and then less.

With such a strong box office momentum, at most the first two weeks will last, and it will not last for a month, and the box office of [Modu Martial Arts] will show itself.

So in this case, it is natural that the sooner the terms are negotiated, the better for him.

Therefore, such things as bringing capital into the group should not be discussed slowly, but should be struck while the box office is booming, and finalized in one wave.
-
The following week.

[Modu Martial Arts]'s box office performance in the global film market, although it has declined compared to the first week, it is still impressive.

The weekly box office has controlled the decline to a relatively excellent standard.

A small drop of 30.00% four, and another 1.2 million US dollars was collected, pushing the total box office to 3 million US dollars.

Seeing this situation, the major box office forecasting agencies are the least optimistic about [Madou Martial Arts], and they all estimate the total box office of [Madou Martial Arts] at around 5 million US dollars.

Somewhat outrageous, it directly gave a box office prediction of 8 million box office against last year's box office champion [Independence Day].

During this period, Disney and [-]th Century Fox naturally paid close attention to the daily box office development of [Modu Martial Art Museum].

Seeing that [Modu Martial Arts] is making so much money, this series is a gold mine, where can I sit still, and directly send someone to restart the negotiation.

And Zhang Nan began to decisively use a tough attitude, end the negotiation, and thank guests behind closed doors, all for the current effect.

So he pretended to reject it a few times. Seeing that the second week was coming to an end, the box office momentum of [Modu Martial Art Museum] was about to be revealed.

Zhang Nan hurriedly stepped forward to continue negotiations with Disney and [-]th Century Fox.

Taking advantage of the negotiation, Zhang Nan finally negotiated a plan in which he would be the director, starring role and producer, plus 5.00% of the total investment of the project.

Got the third part of the [Wuguan] series, and the result came out with a 30.00% bonus of [-]% of the global box office.

Don't look at the income here is only 30.00% of the total box office[-].

But you have to know that the box office profit of a movie is almost split between the producer and the theater.

In other words, the producer can only take 50.00% of the box office as profit.

Zhang Nan's 30.00% five ratio is more than the two producers Disney and Fox combined.

Of course, the profit of a movie is not only box office, but also other aspects.

Box office profits account for at most 70.00% of a film's profits.

In some movies, box office profits even only account for 30.00% of the movie's total profits.

In fact, Disney and Fox have also proposed a cooperation plan with Zhang Nan to split the total profits of the third "Martial Arts" series.

But Zhang Nan refused.

Don't look at the higher share ratio of the latter plan.

But the total profit of a movie is too easy to account for.

For example, the original time and space [Harry Potter] series.

After the general ledger is calculated, the horse rider actually loses money, can you believe it?

But that's the truth.

So when Zhang Nan talked about the profit in the cooperation, he only believed in the box office data.

Because although the Hollywood giants are fierce, the theater alliance is not bad.

Box office data is the basis of the profits of theaters, and it is difficult for Hollywood giants to manipulate.
-
then……

The contract was signed this weekend.

The single-day box office of [Modu Martial Arts] dropped sharply on the next Monday.

That kind of drop can't be regarded as a cut in the middle, but a cut from the heel.

It is reflected in the single-week box office, that is, 1.8 million in the first week, 1.2 million in the second week, and 0.3 million in the third week.

Yes, there is a decimal point and a zero before the three.

To be honest, this data stunned the experts in Disney and [-]th Century Fox who have been studying box office data for many years.

It's outrageous, they have never seen such a situation after so many years of working in the industry!

The immediate reaction of many experts was whether the data was wrong.

But it's a pity.

After checking several times, the data given by the theaters were correct.

Based on this data, these experts calculated the final box office of [Modu Martial Arts].

And the answer obtained is in huge contrast with the previous prediction.

Not to mention the most optimistic 8 million, it is not even the more conservative range of 7.2 million to 5.4 million.

But 4 million on a horse is hard!

Maybe 3.5 million will not be reached.

Because the box office drop in the third week of [Modu Martial Arts] is a bit too scary.

If there is still such a decline in the fourth week, [Magic City Martial Arts] can be directly drawn.

After getting this result, the executives of Disney and [-]th Century Fox looked at the newly signed contract in their hands, and their minds were a little dazed.

It took a long time to realize it, and then looking at the total box office dividend agreement on the contract, the corners of each one's eyes twitched wildly.
