804 Advice (3/4)
Chapter 804 Advice(34)
Compared with the business of Hollywood imported blockbusters, which often cost RMB 7,800, or more than one billion, the market for approved films, that is, films that buy out the copyrights for distribution, does not actually have an advantage.
Moreover, most of the approved films are non-English films from niche countries, which also have a certain threshold for domestic audiences. Therefore, the approved films more often exist to fill the diversification of the market.
How to put it this way, the movie-batch market is a place where business is not big, but everyone wants a piece of the pie.
At that time, "The Expendables" led by RTV only earned 214 million in box office revenue with a film approval price of about 3.3 million yuan!
Original Time and Space, in 2016, 50 approved films earned more than 4 billion in box office...
In 2017, we went one step further, and the number of approved films continued to rise, creating two 1 billion hits, setting a new box office record for approved films in China...
"Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" and "Dangal"...
After all, there is a precedent of big sales, and everyone feels that they may be the next lucky one.
However, there are no such precedents yet.
Shen Changlin had no idea when it came to approving films.
It doesn’t make any sense…
However, he also knows which films are profitable, so he said: "There are still a few Japanese animation films that are blockbuster hits, and most of them have a box office limit..."
"Upper limit?"
"Watch it for yourself. Except for "Your Name", the box office of other Nippon animations released in the mainland, whether "Naruto" or "Conan", is basically around 100 million..."
Zhao Shan shook her head: "You can still make a profit by buying it with 2 million!"
"Two million? Do you think that after "Your Name" sells for 300 million, if we want to buy the copyright of Nippon Animation, we can get it with 2 million?"
Even any fool knows the price will go up!
Indeed, after "Your Name", the copyright price of Japanese animated films soared tenfold.
If you don’t catch anything that catches your eye, you won’t be able to win it without 20 million!
If you buy the copyright for 20 million, and then add a promotion fee, the box office will not exceed 100 million, and you will not make any profit at all.
All the work was in vain.
If there is another policy adjustment...
Fetching water from a bamboo basket is all in vain!
Zhao Shan thought for a while and said: "I don't want to buy Japanese animation movies. I think I can get a few works from countries related to the Belt and Road Initiative... What do you think?"
"sure!"
Shen Changlin nodded in agreement: "It's best to win a few films to participate in the Silk Road Film Festival...in line with the policy!"
"Well, that's what I thought!"
Shen Changlin looked at her approvingly and said, "I thought you just wanted to make money!"
"...While complying with the policy, it would be even better if we can make money!"
"...In this case, I recommend two movies, the Indian movie "Brush Glue, Dad" and "Paddington 2"..."
Hearing his words, Zhao Shan hesitated a little: ""Paddington 2" should be available for 15 million, but "Dangal" is not easy to get... This is Aamir Khan's movie, and his "Three Idiots" "Bollywood" and "I Am a God" both have box office sales of over 100 million in the mainland!"
Shen Changlin was surprised: "The domestic box office of "Three Idiots in Bollywood" exceeded 100 million?"
"No, the Douban score is as high as 99.2, and the industry is very optimistic about "Dangal, Dad"... It is estimated that the price can exceed 50 million!"
"Dollar?"
Zhao Shan was speechless: "RMB! Who would spend 50 million US dollars to buy out the rights to an Indian movie?"
"Then it's okay..."
Shen Changlin was delighted: "Even if the price triples, it's still worth winning!"
"Three times...you mean "Dangal, Dad" can have a box office of 500 million?"
"Um…"
Zhao Shan immediately stood up and took out her cell phone to contact the domestic staff.
Shen Changlin finally had a chance to chat with Nini alone!
…
Speaking of the broadcast of "Goblin", the ones who benefited the most are of course Liu Yijun and Chen Yao.
Especially Chen Yao.
There is a shortage of Xiaohua with good acting skills. She has been approached for many foreign films, including many scripts from Tianxia Entertainment...
But the company's arrangement for her was to minimize unnecessary business exposure.
In terms of movies, I took on "The Witch" from Changlin Film and Television's Hong Kong branch to try out...
The TV series includes "Unnatural Death", with Liu Yijun as the second partner, this time with Hu Ge, Wang Kai...
The popularity of the coffee skyrocketed!
The position of an actress is mainly determined based on the male actors she works with. In the past, only those 85-year-olds could get paid!
Qin Hao has renewed his contract with Changlin Film and Television for three films, starring in "Undocumented Crime", "Who is the Victim" and a customized drama for Tencent Video...
Nini…
There are also gains.
She has always followed the so-called fashion route and has always adhered to the movie star route, giving people the impression that she loves to hype!
Five years after his debut, his only masterpiece is "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".
The second female lead in "Goblin" has a lot of emotional scenes, and she does a good job in it. Her partnership with Qin Hao has attracted a lot of fans!
Nini is very grateful to Shen Changlin.
“So, if you want to quickly gain fans, the best and fastest way is to do CP business!”
Shen Changlin has a say in this - the secret of wealth in the entertainment industry: Once CP is speculated, waste can be turned into treasure!
"The problem is that many fans take it seriously. There is even a topic on Weibo about 'When will Qin Hao and Yi Nengjing get divorced?' It makes me embarrassed to see Brother Qin Hao now!"
"...CP fans are the real people!"
"Why?"
"...It is estimated that there are too many single people, but they have fantasies about love in their hearts. When there is a gap between the emotions in reality and the emotions in the imagined world, they will transfer the object of their expectations from the real world to the imaginary world. In the virtual film and television world, film and television works are sometimes very idealistic, such as the halo of the protagonist, for example, the prince can love Cinderella, etc."
Nini admired her very much: "Wow, can you give an explanation for this?"
Shen Changlin said modestly: "I studied psychology for a while..."
"Can you teach me?"
"...No!" Shen Changlin shook his head: "I won't accept a disciple easily..."
The two chatted for a while. Nini looked at the door and saw that Zhao Shan hadn't come back yet, so she asked in a low voice: "Which room do you live in?"
"What are you doing? Do you want to do something evil to me?"
"...can't you?"
"Of course no problem..."
Shen Changlin said his room number and said by the way: "Send me a text message before you come. Huang Bo is here to visit if he has something to do!"
Nini nodded, and then asked: "...Why didn't you call Brother Bo here?"
"He has to get familiar with the accent with the teacher when he gets back to his room...he doesn't have time."
"I really envy him..."
"What are you envious of?"
"You can star in Hollywood-level movies!"
Shen Changlin grinned: "You are not bad, you are the second female lead in "Venom"..."
Regarding "Venom", Nini is a little disgusted: "I have never heard of this movie."
"Have you seen "Spider-Man 3"?"
Nini nodded: "I've seen it!"
"That was the first time Venom appeared...it was the black suit that wrapped Peter..."
"Spider Summer 3" forced him to become the perfect host for "venom", and this "venom" eventually evolved into a poisonous spider suit...
Nini thought about it, then frowned: "That... is the villain?"
"Absolutely..." Shen Changlin comforted casually: "I guess the box office of "Venom" should be pretty good."
"Why?"
