China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 173 Goodbye Pier
ten o'clock in the morning.

Lu Yuan came to the headquarters of China Film Group alone. When it comes to the mainland film market, China Film Group is definitely a topic that cannot be avoided.

There is no way around it, not only because of the special nature of China Film and Television, but also because China Film and Television Star Cinema is the largest theater chain in the country.

In 05, 06 and 07, China Film Star America won the national box office championship for three consecutive years.

Last year, Chinese movie stars produced a box office of 3.64 million, accounting for 13.06% of the box office of urban theaters nationwide.

From project establishment to filming to distribution and screening, every aspect of a movie will affect the final benefits of the movie.

No major mistakes can be made in every link.

After the film is produced, the top priority is to schedule the films in theaters. The proportion of films scheduled has a considerable impact on the box office.

If the film scheduling ratio is too low, even if it is a well-received and well-received movie, its final box office will be affected.

Star Media currently does not have the ability to distribute movies.

Today, the general box office split ratio in the domestic film industry is about 38-43% for producers, 4%-6% for distributors, 3-7% for theaters, and 50-52% for theaters.

Of course, this ratio requires deducting in advance the 3.3% business tax and surcharge, and the 5% national film industry development special fund.

For example, if the box office of the movie "Cohabitation in Time and Space" is 830 million, then 9170 million in taxes and special funds must be deducted first, and the remaining [-] million will be divided.

The producer (Xingchen Media) can get 43 million with a 3943% top rate split.

Then, after deducting the 25% corporate income tax, the final profit is 2957 million.

3000 million investment, [-] million box office, and loss.

Therefore, investing in movies is a high-risk business activity. 80.00% of domestic movies produced every year lose money based on box office alone.

Of course, some movies do not make money at the box office. Domestic copyrights, overseas copyrights, film subsidies, ZZ tasks, etc. are all factors that affect income.

No matter what happens with other movies, if Star Media wants to make money, the main channels are box office and copyright.

This is also the main revenue of most private film companies.

With an investment of 3000 million, if the box office ends up being less than [-] million, the movie will definitely lose money!

Halfway through 08, only four domestic films have exceeded 7 million, including "Yangtze River [-]", "Slam Dunk", "Red Cliff" and "The Kung Fu King".

It is so difficult to recover the cost of an investment of 3000 million, let alone an investment of 3000 million US dollars.

And this was one of the reasons why Mr. Han invited Lu Yuan to meet.

After all, China Film Group also shoulders the important task of revitalizing the Chinese film market. Feng Xiaogang's promotion to a first-line director is inseparable from Master Han's support.

In addition, it was Han Sanjue who brought out the Chinese New Year movies.

After he became the chairman of China Film Group Corporation last year, he successively launched high-cost commercial films such as "The Promise", "The Promise" and "Red Cliff".

Xingchen Media's generous move just hit China Film's heart.

Only by making blockbusters can the domestic film market be revitalized!

When Lu Yuan followed the secretary to the chairman's office, Han Sanping was still working at his desk.

"Director Han, Lu Yuan is here."

Hearing this, Han Sanping paused, looked up, then stood up with a smile on his face and said.

"Lu Yuan, I've heard people mention you for a long time, and today I finally met you in person."

"Yes, he looks like a talented young man."

As for Lu Yuan, he had indeed admired his name for a long time. His daughter had never been star-chasing before, but recently she became obsessed with Lu Yuan.

The stereo at home plays Lu Yuan's songs every day.

He really doesn't appreciate those English songs, but he quite likes Lu Yuan's Chinese songs, especially the songs that praise family love in the second album.

"Come on, sit down first."

With that said, Han Sanping led Lu Yuan to the nearby reception area.After a while, the secretary made two cups of tea for the two of them.

Ordinary people cannot enjoy this kind of treatment.

The secretary to the board of directors is not an ordinary secretary, but a core executive of the group.

"I read the book you sent me. The script is good, especially the setting of the time and space cycle. It's brilliant."

After a few pleasantries, Han Sanping got straight to the point and talked about "Source Code".

"And the idea is good. The Peacekeepers have roles for yellow, white, and black people in the script, and the international market is fully taken into consideration."

"I have no other intention of calling you here today. I just want to have a chat with you."

"If you have financial difficulties, you can ask at any time. I dare not challenge other guarantees, but with the authority of several million US dollars, I can still make the decision."

It is a fact that the Chinese filmmakers have great careers, but they also have a lot to eat. A few million US dollars is indeed not a small amount.

That is Lu Yuan. If it were anyone else, Han Sanping would not be so easy to talk to.

He admired this boy quite a lot.

Young man, full of courage, to his liking.

Without saying hello, this guy spent 2500 million to support young directors, and sent the plan to China Film.

In addition, Lu Yuan’s international influence cannot be underestimated.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan's signature, how could the Hollywood giant Universal Pictures cooperate with a film and television company that had just been established and had no production experience at all?
"Thank you, Director Han, for your support. If you say that, then I will open my mouth?"

"Go ahead."

Han Sanping chuckled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip calmly.

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Currently, "Source Code" still has a funding gap of about 2-300 million. It would be great if China Film could help solve it."

Hearing this number, Han Sanping glanced at Lu Yuan with interest.

good boy.

Co-author, he also underestimated the strength of Star Media.

If 2-300 million US dollars is placed on Lu Yuan, is that also called a funding gap?
As far as he knew, Star Media’s capital chain was very healthy and it didn’t even have bank loans.

If Lu Yuan was really short of money, just because of his face, he would ask the bank for a loan of tens of millions, just like it was a joke. The bank would definitely be rushing to lend money.

"That's 300."

Han Sanping mentioned the investment matter calmly. Although he didn't say anything else, he had already remembered some things in his heart.

"Thank you, Director Han, for your support!"

Lu Yuan clasped his hands together and politely expressed his gratitude.

Afterwards, the two parties talked about agency distribution.

Give it to peach and give it to Li.

In terms of distribution, Han Sanping directly gave a top-quality ratio, and Star Media was ultimately able to get 43% of the box office share.

[That is, box office * (100%-5%-3.3%) * 43%, I will not repeat them again]

Both movies are the same.

As for the book "Cohabitation in Time and Space", Han Sanping didn't mention investment at all.

With the quality of the script of "Overtime", the director's ability, and Lu Yuan's appeal, it is not too difficult for this movie to recover the cost and make a small profit.

When investing in this situation, the situation changes.

That is not support, but sharing the cake.
