Legendary Hollywood Director

In Burbank, where the night falls, the lights intersect to create a beautiful view of the city that never sleeps, but for most businesses or company executives, the night is the time to calculate the value of their own performance, and it is not worth spending time on the so-called beauty.

In Lionsgate's office, Jon Feilmeier is one of them, but he looks like he has encountered some trouble, his brows are frowning, his expression is not so happy when he looks at the report, and he sends out from time to time. A sigh.

If you don’t understand it, you would think that Lionsgate has had a miserable life recently, with frequent failures in projects, so I am worried, but the reality is just the opposite. How good the market efficiency is, everyone in the circle sees it, and it is not a loser.

Taking only the cooperation analysis of "Crescent Moon", the film was released on November 10, with a domestic box office of 296.6 million + overseas box office of 413 million, a global total of 709.6 million, and the highest single venue ever exceeded 35,000.

With such a record, Jon Feilermei has been in the industry for more than 20 years, and it is not that he has never seen such a blockbuster movie, but it happened to himself, and the first one is worth 400 million globally, and the second one has improved so much, it is rare see you.

The Twilight franchise's ability to make money is just too crazy for most studios, especially if it's only supported by teens and women.

So if you only talk about making money or not, even if Lionsgate only takes 10% of the channel commission, it will get 41.3 million from the box office. The home entertainment market and licensing income under this kind of performance, Jon Feilermei makes a preliminary estimate that he is also very moved——

If it operates reasonably, Lionsgate can earn no less than 90 million profits from it, and the most profitable project independently produced by Lionsgate this year is just "Black Wind Wife in Prison". Nearly 100 million yuan, not to mention some projects that work hard and lose money.

Of course, Jon Feilmei is definitely not sighing for this. He just saw the rapid and healthy development of Firefly, and he really raised some indescribable worries about his own production business.

After all, they have worked so hard to develop an overseas distribution network, and they invested so much money and energy in order to do a great job. As a result, until now they still lack film sources, and their reliance on Firefly is really disturbing.

Under the gloss, what hides is that more than 2 years have passed, and Lionsgate has not yet found the foundation that can completely gain a firm foothold in the situation of Hollywood, with its own ace series or sustainable development plan.

More importantly, the more Firefly showed off his extraordinary production ability, the more he feared that one day the partnership between the two parties would end, or that Lyman would be greedy for more and further reduce the interests of Lionsgate, the publisher. At that time, what should Lionsgate do?

These worries can be regarded as a sign of Lionsgate's lack of confidence. After all, when this happens, Lionsgate is basically unable to resist. They are the party that uses price wars to differentiate themselves, not to mention that after the stalls are spread, they have not achieved the desired results. Some changes, which are also beyond the expectations of the Lionsgate executives.

Do you want to say that they are not active? In addition to stabilizing the cooperation on Firefly's side and maintaining a good personal relationship with the top management of Firefly, they are also vigorously developing their own production business and looking for other high-quality content providers, but they are not as effective as Firefly. The project is so powerful or risk-free.

The report data spread out on the table is impressive proof—

As of 2009 till now, 5 films have been self-produced, 2 made small profits, one barely broke the bank, lost the schedule, and one couldn't even get the money back, let alone the profit, one was a small explosion, and settled. Down, it's the end of the year, but the operating income is about 140 million;

There are 8 projects involved in the production or distribution, with an average profit of around 30 million and a profit of more than 240 million, of which the cooperation with Firefly accounts for 72% of the total...

Yes, Lionsgate's reliance on Fireflies is so high, so high that Jon Feilermei is flustered. Looking at so many Hollywood studios, none of them have such a profit distribution, even if the team from DreamWorks is stationed in it. Paramount, Paramount's production business is also very dependent on DreamWorks, and it does not have such a high proportion.

As far as performance participation is concerned, Lionsgate's distribution department has almost become a subordinate unit of Firefly, helping them take care of the parts that cannot be completed, and the price is still cheap...

Of course, if you think about it this way, Jon Feilermei doesn't show this feeling at all.

He also personally received Liam at the celebration reception some time ago.

Jon Feilermei sighed, thinking that he had already changed the situation through external forces. He also discovered that it was better to overtake him by cultivating his own production talents.

That night, on the other side of the sea, Rodriguez Perlman, who was in charge of the construction of overseas channel sites, also summed up his work in the office:

"...It has been nearly 4 months since my team and I came to South America for layout, and under the implementation of the response plan, basic difficulties have been eliminated, and the liaison and distribution aspects are generally on the right track.

However, in order to avoid the trouble of the agency, and to speed up the sinking of the channel and determine the distribution process, the company should start as soon as possible and produce suitable projects.

"However, in order for the film to explode into the market power it deserves, we must consider issues such as unfamiliarity with the audience, publicity, and inadequate delivery of our overseas projects~www.readwn.com~ So we chose to obtain Films with a narrower scope are the most suitable for the preliminaries - overseas competitiveness should also take into account cultural differences, and minimize the imposition of regional culture.

From the perspective of cultural barriers, science fiction, action, adventure, romance and other dramas will be more mainstream, while comedy, horror, and family dramas are relatively difficult, and it is difficult for regional audiences to accept American slang culture.

Moreover, in the movie market, especially for some less developed regions, the audience there has a great demand for special effects movies. If they don’t pay attention to the content, the special effects are also the most satisfying for the vision. They are less picky than American audiences. According to the research, "The Legend of Loch Ness" and "Dragon Rider" are supported by the achievements of flowering outside the wall, so they did not lose too much. "

"The results of using the site to test and contact are very gratifying. Most local distributors don't care about more film suppliers. They also need enough film sources to select and compete. In addition, the recruitment of regional personnel, experienced distributors have been enriched. , a total of more than 130 employees, please accept them as soon as possible."

"In terms of finance, the operation has accumulated to this month, and has consumed more than 73 million yuan. The salaries of site installation and personnel are the bulk of the expenditure. The remaining 12 million US dollars is enough for the next step. The Coopers team formulates regulations for the use of funds, reimbursement process and other regulations for these regional sites to standardize the accounting.”

Rodriguez Perlman wrote here, stretching his waist with ease, full of satisfaction.

For this distribution network, he didn't know how many roads, how much energy and effort he spent, thinking about the scene of appearing in the circle in the future and his own promotion, he couldn't help but send emails neatly...
