Chapter 51: All Smart People (Ninth)

Among the six major Hollywoods, Disney is the biggest weird thing.

Most of its movies are high investment, with either high output or a huge loss.

Hollywood has the law of "life, death", and Disney dares to do this!

They don’t care. The entire Disney empire has formed a scale. The simplest example is currently Disney has 8 TV stations, 6 of which rank among the top ten in the US TV family market!

Wealthy and powerful!

The annual cash flow is as high as more than US$40 billion!

When production capabilities and IP construction do not have advantages, acquisition is the easiest, direct and powerful method.

Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm includes Fox Pictures!

In 2017, Disney officially bought several Fox industries for US$52.4 billion...

Damn, Zhen Jiba is rich, and the market value of film and television companies in China (listed) has not reached US$52.4 billion in total...

Of course, the film business has always been Disney's focus. Only with content can it be sold around the surrounding area and can it be built with a new theme park.

The total production cost of "Avengers" is as high as 220 million yuan, and the promotion and promotion have exceeded 300 million US dollars. Such a big production carries the end of the first phase of the Marvel Universe. If the global box office fails to exceed 1 billion, it will be a failure!

The entire Disney attaches great importance to this.

Especially the disastrous defeat of "Alien Battlefield"...

Import buyout refers to movies in which domestic film manufacturers buy out the film's screening rights from foreign film manufacturers at a fixed price, while foreign film manufacturers do not participate in the Chinese box office share.

Our country has very special policies in films. There are only two companies that have the right to distribute imported films, China Film and Huaying.

However, private companies can submit the film bureau to the review by buying out and pass the review and obtain the right to issue.

Imported films after buying out are the same as domestic films, enjoying about 40% of theaters' sharing accounts...

Among the quota for 64 imported films in China every year, except for the nearly 34 divided blockbusters, the remaining thirty are all bought out films.

Generally speaking, the first-line blockbusters that need to participate in the box office share will not enter the domestic market by buying out, because the price given by the film company will be very low.

With the mentality of picking up bargains, the general purchase price of buying pieces is about 50,000 to 100,000 US dollars...

Even "The Expendables" only spent $500,000 to win the buyout price!

Of course, these are the mentality I had from a few years ago.

There is no fool in Hollywood, so it is impossible to give the benefits to Chinese businessmen in vain. The buyout price of "Iron Man 3" is as high as $30 million!

As the ambition work of the Marvel Universe, "Avengers" certainly want to make up more money.

It's just that the price of $50 million is a bit outrageous...

It is now 2012, and Marvel superheroes have limited influence in China. The highest-grossing Iron Man 2 has only a box office of 179 million yuan.

For 50 million US dollars, it takes at least 150 million US dollars to make a profit, which needs to exceed one billion in RMB!

If you remember correctly, the domestic box office of "Avengers" should not exceed 600 million!

Even if Huiwen Tianxia owns the domestic video copyright of "Women's Federation", it is unlikely that it will be possible to make a profit...

Paohui decisively rejected the price code proposed by Cook Dick.

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

Cook Dick looked like he was negotiating.

"$15 million...you listen to me first."

Xu Huicai made a quote, Cook Dick was already incredible, as if he felt that his IQ was insulted...

What a fucking drama!

There are no fools in Hollywood!

Xu Hui stopped Cook Dick's performance: "What are your expectations for the Chinese box office of "Women's Federation"?"

“…more than $100 million…”

"Impossible!"

"n,n,x, you don't understand the Chinese market. It is already the second largest film market in the world after the United States. As far as I know, you already have more than 10,000 screens, and your box office potential..."

Xu Hui smiled and watched the foreigner's performance as quiet as a chicken.

I don't understand the Chinese film market?

You should really go out and inquire...

"…You have the largest diamond in the world, and the box office of $100 million is very simple..."

After finally waiting for Cook Dick to brag, Xu Hui said: "...First of all, the Marvel series is not very well-known in China. So far, the highest box office "Iron Man 2" has not reached 25 million US dollars. From the perspective of series development, it is absolutely impossible for the Women's Federation to achieve a high box office in China. Not to mention 100 million or 50 million, I think it is very difficult!"

Cook Dick is still to say something, Xu Hui waved his hand: "The box office is 50 million US dollars, only one-quarter of what you can get. I offer 15 million, which is already very reasonable. After all, we still need to spend some effort to promote this movie..."

"I need to confirm."

Cookdick opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally chose to call.

...

The location is Cook Dick's office. Xu Hui sat in the reception chair and took the ice water handed over by the secretary.

Huiwen Tianxia produces only ten movies every year. After all, there are limited directors and staff, and the co-produced ones will not exceed fifteen movies!

This number is a bit small, at least in Xu Hui's opinion.

In 2012, Chinese films ushered in violent growth, with as many as 500 movies released every year, and we must find ways to expand our film library.

A buyout is a good choice.

This time he was just a test. If it was appropriate, Huiwen would be responsible for the domestic distribution of most Disney movies...

Of course, it will definitely arouse dissatisfaction among many people, especially China Film and Television.

The biggest advantage of Zhongying is the release of imported films. Once this thing is intercepted, it means that the guys they are eating are gone.

Regarding the film bureau, China Film is of course the biological son, but Huiwen Tianxia is not wrong in doing this. It is completely in accordance with the rules and procedures. People are willing to sell the film to me and I will release it. There is nothing wrong with the film, so why should I get stuck?

Strangely, why are there so many film and television companies in the original time and space not specialize in this obvious loophole?

You can make a big profit if you sell it back!

Could it be that there is something hidden here?

At this moment, Cookdick hung up the phone, with a smile on his lips: "Well, we promised your buyout!"

"…Yeah?"

In just three minutes, I agreed?

"But, in terms of price code, I think I can talk about it again!"

“…15 million US dollars is already the limit!”

"No, listen to me. According to the terms of the accounting, if we cooperate with China Film and Television, we can only get a quarter of the box office share. Is that right?"

“…Yes, that’s right.”

"But if we hand over the movie to you in the form of a buyout, you can get a 40% box office share, right?"

Cook Dick continued to be tempted, but Paohui vaguely noticed something. Sure enough, he suggested: "Let's do this, we will share the agreed price according to the 35% box office share of each movie. What do you think?"

Maybe he felt that he didn't express it very clearly, so he continued: "That 5% is just a reward as a partner..."

“…I’m sorry, I’ll leave…”

After listening to Cookdick's statement, Paohui left the office directly.

He was afraid that he would not be able to help but take action!
