"Xiangjiang Cube" has swept Xiangjiang, but it is still a little short of the time it fermented.

In the next step, Yin Jun is going to sell "Xiangjiang Cube" to Treasure Island, which is also a paradise for arcade games, and the population of more than 20 million people on Treasure Island is enough to digest a large number of arcade machines.

As long as "Xiangjiang Cube" is popular in Xiangjiang and Baodao, then Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States will have a good reference, and it will naturally be easy to sell.

Of course, selling Treasure Island must be sold together with the machine's electrified board, and Europe, America, Japan and South Korea can only sell the electric board - people are not so stupid, so far away let you sell big machines in the past.

After putting this side aside for the time being, Yin Jun started the pre-filming inspection work of his first film non-stop.

Yuan Kui has already been sent by Hong Jinbao, in the face of an industry boss like Yin Jun, Yuan Kui's attitude is very respectful, after taking Yin Jun's script, he is studying it carefully, and accompanying Yin Jun to check the venue, special effects item production and other preparations.

Since January, Stan Winston's team has been working with Luo Lixian and them to make all kinds of needed props.

Including the plane that was built to real scale 1:1, including the five subway cars made in real scale.

Of course, it is impossible to manufacture airplanes and carriages according to the real ones, such as airplanes, the iron sheets on the outside are not good materials, but after customizing the cheapest and thinnest iron sheets, they find people from Kirin Construction Company to build and weld them, and the inside is even simpler, directly using wood to make a skeleton to support the plane from collapsing.

Even the tires under the airplane are made of steel, and they are painted to look like tires.

The subway cars are simpler, and I bought five scrapped railway cars on the Kowloon Railway, repainted and dressed them up, and they became new.

To say that the main special effects of "Speed of Life and Death" are reflected in the plane, subway car and the broken circuit leap, after the first two are done, the remaining broken circuit leap is Luo Lixian's job.

At present, Xiangjiang is undergoing large-scale construction, and there are roads under construction everywhere, but there is no semi-suspended road with large piles supporting dozens of meters underneath.

Luo Lixian was also ruthless, and simply found a barren vacant land in the New Territories, and invited people from the Kirin Construction Company to lay a 100-meter-long semi-suspended road, of course, the piles at the bottom were not as high as twenty or thirty meters, only about five meters, otherwise according to the ability of the Kirin Construction Company, there would be no way to repair such a difficult road in a month.

For these jobs, hundreds of their special effects personnel did not rest during the Spring Festival, and they had very little time to rest from day to night, which made Wen Jun, the production director in charge of supervision, very satisfied, and specially applied for a part of the subsidy for them.

Two days ago, Wen Jun had already taken Yuan Kui through the venue, and now that Yin Jun came over, he revisited the original route.

"The Heung Kong Metro is now building a second Hong Kong Island Line, and some tracks have been laid, but the size of the subway is not the same as the size of the train, so there is no way to be compatible. Mr. Winston suggested that we build our own shed, which resembles a tunnel, and lay a railroad in it, with cars pulling the carriages in front. Wen Jun said, "But this is still not so realistic, and there are too many changes." I went to the Kowloon Railway to take a look, and they have an abandoned route in the direction of Tsing Yi, and there is a platform there, and it would definitely be much better if a shed was built there to simulate a subway line. The Kowloon Railway is also easy to talk about, as long as we pay a part of the fee, even if we tear it down, it doesn't matter. Later, Mr. Winston agreed with me. ”

"Well, let's do it!" Yin Jun muttered, "How much time will this take?"

"It's not difficult, just use a tarpaulin to build a shed, and you can do it in a week at the latest. Wen Jun replied.

"Be a little better, be realistic, don't be afraid to spend money, Winston is very capable and experienced, let him grasp these professional things. Yin Jun admonished.

"Hehe, we know that, but he really doesn't save money, and he wants the best in everything. Wen Jun smiled bitterly, "For example, the paint of the plane, he has to use the paint used in the real plane, you said that the things that will be smashed once are used, where can you use it? Now that the movie has not started, it has used more than 20 million, and I feel distressed to use it!"

Originally, it was Shi Shaoming who was planning, but after all, he still has a lot of things to do on Kirin Satellite TV, so he just plays a role and makes decisions, and the specific things are still done by Wen Jun.

The director of production is the former scene reporter plus a little bit of producer's power, in Yin Jun's place, the position is very high, basically a supervisor, second only to the producer and director.

Since the Academy Awards have not been busy, Wen Jun has already begun the preliminary preparations, and he only threw away this side of the matter on the three days of the Academy Awards, and the rest of the time, he did not rest during the Spring Festival, and continued to make preliminary preparations to finalize the schedule of talents from all walks of life, as well as solve various problems in the special effects team.

Seeing that Wen Jun was doing a good job, Shi Shaoming simply let him do it, and he was just doing simple supervision work.

During this time, Wen Jun was also wealthy and directly had the right to communicate with Tian Jiachun.

Tian Jiachun is in charge of the finance department, don't look at Sister Le's reprimanding Yin Jun for spending money lavishly, but if Yin Jun is really going to make a movie, she also fully supports it, so as long as Wen Jun needs the money here, Tian Jiachun will directly allocate it, and only in the final cost accounting, will some audits be done.

Rao is that the money is not Wen Jun's, but it can be used by Wen Jun's hands, and the budget of about 100 million yuan has not yet started filming, and more than 20 million yuan will be used.

All the costs during the shoot, all the labor costs, all the post-production, and all the publicity, etc., have not started yet!

If it goes on like this, how can 100 million be possible?

Therefore, he also took the opportunity to say a word to Yin Jun at this time, reminding the boss, either you control the expenditure, or you increase the budget a little, otherwise it will be difficult to get it.

"Most of the budget for this film is on special effects and post-production, and the other expenses of making a film according to Hong Kong are only a small part. Yin Jun comforted, "Don't worry, post-production and publicity will not take the account of the 100 million expenses." ”

"Our movie is released worldwide, so wouldn't it cost a total of two or three hundred million?" Wen Jun said in horror.

"Not really. Yin Jun said, "When it is released overseas, the Americas are distributed by United Arts Films, and Japan, South Korea and Europe are made by their local theaters." They charge about 20% of the box office share, and all the screens, promotions, and copies are all handled by them according to the contract. ”

"20%!" Wen Jun frowned, "This is a bit high, isn't it usually 8%?"

"Do you know about this, Brother Kui?" Yin Jun asked, turning around.

When Wen Jun and Yin Jun were talking just now, Yuan Kui listened with a smile on the side and didn't interject.

Hearing this, Yuan Kui hesitated for a moment and said: "On the one hand, it takes a lot of money to copy, and secondly, there is also a lot of advertising investment. ”

"Yes!"

Yin Jun laughed, "If it's an ordinary movie, if you can get a share in Japan and South Korea, it's about 35%." And our last "Police School" won 35% in Asia, and only 32% in Europe and the United States, and the reason is also here. This time, we once again reduced the share of "Speed of Life and Death", taking 32% in Asia and only 28% in Europe and the United States, also in order to make a name for themselves again. ”

"But isn't our 'Police Detective School' already a success? Can't they see it?

"There must be bonuses, such as the number of screen releases this time, which has increased by more than 20% compared to "Police Detective School". Yin Jun said, "But "Police Detective School" is co-starred by a white man, and the heroes and heroines and villains of "Speed of Life and Death" are all serious Chinese, so it is normal for them to have doubts. If you want to dispel their doubts, I'm afraid it can't be solved by two or three movie hits. ”

"It's really difficult to make some money in Europe and the United States!" Wen Jun sighed.

"We in Xiangjiang are known as the Hollywood of the East, but it is only within the scope of the East. I want to make a real Heung Kong movie and let people all over the world recognize our brand, which is impossible to achieve in three or five years. Yin Jun said solemnly: "In order to achieve this goal, I am ready to work hard for at least 20 years." ”

Wen Jun and Yuan Kui couldn't help but gasp.

They knew that Yin Jun had a dream of entering the world, but they didn't expect Yin Jun to be so cautious and prepared to work hard for such a long time as 20 years.

Compared with Yin Jun, those filmmakers who make money today and use it today, and who swarm to follow the trend when they see which movie makes money, without thinking about the future, should really be ashamed!

"It's just that, Jun Shao, you invested in filming and production at such a large cost...... Can you guarantee the return of the capital?" Yuan Kui remembered an important question the next moment.

Foreign taxes are also very high, and it's not like you get that much of the box office cut and you can get it back.

The cinema chain will help to make a little bit of accounting so that the tax is a little less, but there is still a large amount of tax to pay.

The types of taxes are very complicated, but in general, basically about 15%-20% of box office revenue is taxes.

According to Yin Jun's share ratio, the overseas box office share can reach an average of 24%, which is very good.

Fortunately, Hong Kong does not charge taxes on overseas income, otherwise it can be directly reduced to 20% of box office revenue!

Yin Jun's shooting cost is about 100 million, and post-production may cost more, 150 million Hong Kong dollars, which should be usable.

Xiangjiang box office Yin Jun can get about 50%, but the total box office revenue is at most 20 or 30 million, which is negligible compared to the cost of 150 million Hong Kong dollars.

The important thing is the box office in other cities, especially the box office in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and Baodao.

24% of the box office share, only the global box office can exceed 136 million US dollars, can pay off.

At first glance, it doesn't seem that difficult, because the box office of "Police School" is about 170 million US dollars.

But as Yin Jun said, half of the leading actors in "Police Patrol School" are white, of course, Europe and the United States are welcomed, and your "Speed of Life and Death" is basically an all-Chinese class!

It has been a long time since Li Xiaolong dominated the box office, even Li Xiaolong's movies are a lot of white people, and Li Xiaolong is an American and an American nationality!

"If it weren't for the problem, I might have made 30 million or 50 million dollars. Facing the worries of his subordinates, Yin Jun replied lightly.

Wen Jun and Yuan Kui, you look at me, I look at you, and they are speechless for a while.

They wanted to echo Yin Jun, but when they thought that Yin Jun planned to make one or two hundred million Hong Kong dollars in "Speed of Life and Death", they felt that complimenting Yin Jun would make him even more ambitious, and if the box office did not meet expectations in the future, I am afraid that Yin Jun would be even more difficult to step down.
