World-class director in the entertainment industry

"Qin, this is something that all film and television companies must do. It's not aimed at your Black Water Dragon Flag Company. Caesar didn't lie. They rely on the income from offline discs to make money, and they have supported too many small companies."

Hearing Qin Dong's swear words and watching Qin Dong sink into deep thought, Martin couldn't help but interrupted.

He was afraid that the employer would think wildly, and it would be bad if he thought wrongly, because it was unnecessary.

"I know, Martin, I don't doubt Caesar. Just ask anyone about this kind of thing and you will know the truth. I'm complaining about why so many people are willing to buy such a shoddy movie. There are so many good movies, is this kind of disc worth buying and watching at home?"

Qin shook his head, not to mention that he thought it was a pity that he thought of the film and television industry in Hong Kong Island just now.

Seriously complaining about people who buy discs in North America.

"Boss, there seem to be many blockbuster movies and low- and medium-budget movies released in theaters every year, but there are not many. If you stay at home alone and watch these movies, you can watch more than six movies a day, and you can finish watching them in less than a month. There are still eleven months left in the year, and in these eleven months, we have to watch discs that have not been released in cinemas, and we have many such people here."

Caesar explained with a smile when he heard the words, in fact, many local people understand things.

This is the different customs of each place.

"So, this means that on your side, many people are idle every day? There are many such people, and they provide a lot of money for the disc?"

Qin Dong was stunned and asked back.

"Um...Maybe, boss, what you said is right, it can be understood in this way."

Caesar babbled and admitted this statement.

"Hey, Qin, in fact, your understanding is not entirely correct. How to put it, there are indeed many people who are idle and do not work. Some of them live on government relief, and a large part of the income from DVDs actually depends on students. Some of these students are not old enough to watch movies, while those who are old enough are very curious and like to be stimulated, so..."

Seeing Qin Dong's curiosity, Martin also smiled and said some things in the offline disc.

"Okay, let's leave it at that, Caesar, you should take the prescribed number of shots every year."

Qin Dong nodded and agreed to the shooting request provided by Caesar.

Anyway, the total of the five films is less than 300 million. It sounds like there is a high probability that they will not lose money, so Qin Dong is even less in the mood to pay attention.

Qin Dong understood Caesar's explanation to Martin after thinking about it.

Don't look at the old American economy which is the largest in the world, and the richest are also the most. Unfortunately, the proportion of the real upper class and the middle class to the total population is too small.

People who are really well-off will never watch such shoddy movies or buy such discs.

On the contrary, the poorer people will buy these, and it is precisely that among the population of North America, this part of the population at the bottom of society has the largest number of people.

On the contrary, this has promoted the development of the offline disc industry, and also supported most of the Hollywood film and television companies. These film and television companies are small companies, and this is the reality.

"Okay, boss."

Caesar nodded immediately, this matter must be made clear to the boss, otherwise he would think that he is using it for private purposes.

Those who work for others must do their part.

"Hey, Qin, can we let CAA intervene in the selection of actors in these movies?"

Martin jumped at every opportunity, and asked at once.

"Oh, Xie Te, Martin, this kind of movie that costs only a few hundred thousand, can caa also watch it?"

Qin Dong asked back speechlessly.

"Of course I like it, Qin, you don't think that the artists under our caa are all big stars, do you? We have more than a few hundred managers, let alone artists. There are a lot of small artists among them. The male and female protagonists of disc movies are also a kind of experience, for young artists, this is also the capital for them to audition for theater movies in the future."

Martin laughed and explained.

"Okay, okay, you can discuss this matter with Caesar, in short, the cost must not increase."

Qin Dong didn't know what to say, so he agreed casually.

No wonder it is said that the production crew in Hollywood is dark. Even the world's number one brokerage company like CAA is interested in scripts like Nima who cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is conceivable that this industry is considered rubbish There are countless male and female actors competing for movies, which is evident.

No wonder I heard that in the village near the Hengdian production crew, there are a lot of young handsome men and beautiful women, and many of them are crowded in a small rental house. If there is no dirty thing happening, then it is really an exaggeration of human nature.

Whether you are handsome or beautiful and enchanting, when you are not rising, when you are ambitious, you want to get up, you don't want to pay anything, you are dreaming.

Even if you insist day after day, you can only play in groups, and it may be difficult to even play tricks.

Maybe for a mere little utility, you have to pay, and the people who take advantage of it may just be the lowest-level staff in the entertainment industry.

"Tell me, what's the matter with the check you said?"

Thinking of what happened in those dark places, Qin Dong shook his head, these are everyone's choices, the road is his own choice, Qin Dong is too lazy to say anything.

Get rid of distracting thoughts and ask Martin about something serious.

"Oh, Qin, I don't know if you have a big heart, or what, don't you care about your own money? [2012 Doomsday] Ah, it will be released in July, and it will be released in August. ’s box office has been statistically summarized, and this is your 5.00% income.”

Martin complained to Qin Dong speechlessly, then took out a check from his body and handed it over:

"This is your personal achievement, so it won't go through your company."

"I forgot if you didn't tell me..."

Qin Dong took it casually and said something.

At the beginning of this movie, Qin Dong attended the premiere, and was very unhappy because of certain things. Fortunately, Columbia Company did the following things and did not make Qin Dong angry. However, Qin Dong still didn't like it in the end, so he didn't bother to pay attention This movie, even if it is my own script.

"For 4000 million US dollars, this movie has a global box office of [-] million?"

Looking at the number on the check, Qin Dong calculated the total box office and asked a question.

Because he only knows that the box office in North America is more than 1 million US dollars. As for the global box office, I really don’t know, because some countries will be screened at night, and there are many countries where it will be screened. Not all the media in North America will report it. People can't know the specific figures for a short time.

"Well, the global box office has just reached [-] million US dollars. This movie is really what you said. The theater box office is not profitable. It has to rely on offline discs and copyrights to make money."

Martin nodded, and casually praised Qin Dong's vision.

This [2012 Doomsday] was written by the great Chinese director in front of him, but this director did not shoot the movie himself, thinking that the cost of the movie was too high to make money.

And that's the reality right now.

Although the total global box office of [-] million US dollars is a high figure, even if it is placed on the box office list of global film history, it will rank high, but this movie does not make money at the box office.

With a cost of up to 2.5 million US dollars, if you want to make money, the global box office of this movie must start at [-] billion, but now it only has [-] million box office. Looking at the large number, it is indeed a loss.

Overseas box office distribution, the producer can share up to 25%, and the minimum is 15.00%. Different countries have different regulations.

The global box office is 1.6 million, Qin Dong only knows 6.4 million in North America, which means [-] million overseas.

Calculated according to the highest ratio, 6.4 million overseas, Colombian companies can share 1.6 million US dollars.

1.6 million in North America. This is a local film. According to the 8000-2.4 split with the theaters, it can be divided into [-] million. Adding up to [-] million, it seems to have paid off.

But the account is not calculated in this way. The release of a movie, especially the global release, requires the publisher to promote the cost. The higher the cost of the film, the more the promotion fee is required for a commercial film. For this kind of super large commercial film, the promotion fee starts at least 5000 million. , more than 1 million.

If these publicity expenses are added, and the total global box office of 2012 million, the investor and distributor of the movie [[-] Doomsday] is Columbia Corporation, so it must be a loss, and it still needs to rely on offline discs Movies and copyright income, etc., make money back and forth.
