China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 107 Interest Quarrel
The cost of an IMAX theater is very high, and the entire set of equipment for an IMAX theater costs 1000 million yuan!

Even if Wanda Cinemas signed an agreement with IMAX for 300 IMAX theaters and became a "close strategic partnership", the entire set of IMAX theater equipment would be reduced to 900 million yuan, which would cost 27 billion yuan!

Including other expenses, 300 IMAX theaters will cost 30 billion RMB!

And all of these will be completed in these two years.

Relying on Haotian Media's blood transfusion alone is simply not enough!

But fortunately, Haotian Media and Wanda Cinemas are high-quality assets, and now they have a high reputation, and the banks are relatively loose. It is so easy to negotiate a loan of 20 billion, and the interest is not high.

At this time, the leaders finished speaking one by one, and it was the turn of the directors to share.

It is nothing more than those few things, asking for some relaxation of standards, not to cut a knife at every turn, and asking for more support for literary and artistic films, etc.

Screenwriters, the requirements are simple, improve the status of screenwriters!

There's no way, it's all tears!
The status of screenwriters in the mainland is almost like inheriting Xiangjiang's screenwriters. As a little transparent, a screenwriter often doesn't sell much.

Normally, a script costs tens of thousands of yuan, and a movie script for a first-class screenwriter can cost up to 30 yuan, and even the top-level screenwriter can only spend 200 million yuan.

And this has grown up in recent years!
And now more and more, the producer or director thinks of a story, then asks the screenwriter to write it, and then it is used to shoot the movie. It is not completely created by the screenwriter, which means that the screenwriter is generally hired by the producer or director.

The most unacceptable thing for the screenwriter is that the script is clearly written very well, but the producer or director can change it at will. As for the screenwriter's objection, they have no right to speak at all!

Obviously screenwriting is so important, but in terms of income and speaking rights, it turns out to be a little transparent.

This question is also a commonplace.

It won't change anything for a while.

Just like the editorial department of Haotian Media, with an annual income of 50 million, it is considered the ceiling of the industry, and in the entire industry, many screenwriters are poor.

The leaders can't come up with a good way to solve it.

Because the current market is like this, it is impossible to issue a policy request that the remuneration of the screenwriter of a play should not be less than a percentage of the shooting cost.

If you dare to produce such a document, you dare to serve as a screenwriter if you don’t customize a filmmaker or director.

When it comes to the bosses of film and television companies, there are many demands, such as increasing the share ratio of producers, such as combating film and television piracy, and so on.

The ratio of the producer's share and the theater's share have always been contradictory, and this matter has to talk about Zhang Weiping!

The production company, I have to thank Zhang Weiping!
Before 2002, investors in domestic films could only get a maximum of 38% of the box office, but Zhang Weiping demanded 43% or 5% of the box office, but unfortunately there were too few blockbuster films at that time. Zhang Weiping's attitude was: If you don't sign with me, I won't let you release it.As a result, after Zhang Weiping made a fuss, the investor was able to get a maximum of [-]%, which was [-]% higher than before!

Just this year, Zhang Weiping teamed up with a group of production companies to make a major event, increasing the maximum share that investors can get from 43% to 45%!

The cinema side was once again forced to give up 2% of the box office!
Although 2% is not much, according to last year's Chinese film box office of more than 150 billion yuan, 2% is 3 million yuan!

Of course, behind this whole process is the continuous increase in the price of movie tickets. First-tier cities have risen from a minimum of 2002 yuan in 25 to 40 yuan today!
As soon as the boss of the film and television company mentioned increasing the box office share, the representatives of all the theaters quit!
After all, theater chains are asset-heavy, with high operating costs. They have to invest in new movie theaters and update equipment. The profit margin is much lower than that of film and television companies, and the debt ratio of theater chains is much higher than that of film and television companies.

In 2010, the total number of screens in mainland China was 6200, of which digital screens jumped from 2007 in 700 to 4100, and now the number of screens in the country is approaching 10000, and the number of digital screens has reached more than 7000. Behind this, theaters have invested heavily.

Every time the film and television company increases the box office share by one percentage point, it is tantamount to cutting flesh from the theaters.

The entire conference room, representatives of film and television companies and theaters, suddenly quarreled.

Li Hao smiled, he didn't care about this aspect, because Haotian Media is a film and television company, and it also owns Wanda Cinemas, so the benefits in this aspect are not much different.

Fortunately, he sits in the circle of directors, so he doesn't need to be two-faced.

The leaders all rubbed their temples with a headache. This kind of distribution of benefits is the most headache.

Looking at the time, the leader announced that the meeting was over and had a break for dinner.

Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, Wang Zhongjun and others were all blushing. Their voices were the loudest just now, and Zhang Weiping directly fired at Han Sanping who was the top one, and once again called Han Sanping a mountain sculpture in the film industry.

Everyone ate together and discussed the future development of the film.

"I see, the film market is not big, even if you include the TV series market, it's the same." Wang Zhongjun said.

"President Li, what do you think?" Yu Dong looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao ate his light meal, eating with relish: "What is my opinion, I think that in the next ten years, the total box office of Chinese movies will exceed 600 billion!"

"Hehe, 600 billion is unlikely. The total box office in North America is only 100 billion U.S. dollars, which is 690 billion yuan. The Hollywood film industry is advanced and mature, and we are still far behind. Let alone ten years, even 20 years, the total box office of our Chinese movies will not reach 600 billion! Three or 40 years is about the same!" Wang Changtian laughed.

Yu Dong also said with a smile: "It can grow to 250 billion in ten years, and we can laugh even when we sleep. Mr. Li is too optimistic."

Li Hao smiled and didn't explain much.

In his impression, he vaguely remembered that the box office of Chinese movies had reached 700 billion. He said 600 billion was conservative.

It's a pity that this kind of thing is said, and no one believes it.

No way, when Chinese movies collapsed and shrank, everyone was still impressed. In a majestic China with a population of 13 billion, the total annual box office is only 9 million. It is shocking to think about it.

But Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, and Wang Changtian all came out of that era.

Their memories of that time are particularly deep, and they are happy from ear to ear if a movie can earn 200 million.

Feng Xiaogang was awesome in 1997, why! ?Because the box office of "Party A and Party B" he filmed exceeded 3000 million, Feng Xiaogang made a huge profit of 120 million RMB!

In the 90s, a movie made millions of dollars, while other directors were still making thousands or tens of thousands of dollars at that time!
