Chapter 647: The box office is divided into 100 million US dollars!
When Vincent left, of course, there was no agreement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In Vincent's view, Le Yiling is a lion's mouth, but he can't help it, now that the comic book is so popular, Qilin Culture certainly has the initiative.
If Pearson Group wants to make more money, it has to share some profits with Kirin Culture, which is an undeniable fact.
However, Le Yiling's conditions were too harsh, and he had no choice but to discuss with the headquarters after he went back, and then continue to negotiate.
At this time, Vincent has completely put away his contempt for Le Yiling and his contempt for Qilin culture.
However, he didn't know that Le Yiling was far more intelligent and powerful than he thought.
Le Yiling knows that these European and American businessmen, as long as they have money, even if it is a big holiday, they will turn a blind eye, and there is no question of personal preference at all.
Pearson Group is an old publishing group, and their thirst for money is very big, so they must be reluctant to let go of this piece of fat, so they can only compromise in the end.
What's more, a single comic book is only 4 Hong Kong dollars, and the price is less than 20%, even if it is a little unsalable, it will not affect their profits at all, but will increase their profits a lot.
As long as this is clear, then this time, Pearson Group must accept the "robbery" of the Kirin culture without any negotiation.
After receiving a call from Sister Le, Yin Jun was in a good mood.
The increase in the distribution of manga monographs is a perfect chain for cultivating young people to become fans in the future, and after 10 or 20 years, let them contribute to the box office of the movie versions of these comics.
If this business is successful, even if it is a single book that only sells for 4 yuan, it will bring Yin Junduo a pre-tax profit of 27 million, and if added together, the monthly pre-tax profit of Kylin Culture will directly reach 117 million Hong Kong dollars.
Yin Jun is much more optimistic than Sister Le.
Le Yiling thinks that the addition of 18 million copies of a single book is to increase influence and not waste new printing capacity, but Yin Jun feels that the total of 26 million copies of a single book, each comic is only 2.6 million copies on average, distributed in the Americas and Western Europe, which are large and small in thirty or forty countries, and a country is only divided into tens of thousands of copies, which can still be unsalable?
Just kidding, right!?
These comics have been tested by hundreds of millions of comic fans over the decades!
If you wait for another three or five years to develop, when more than 20 comics bombard the world, you will be able to ship 200 million or even 300 million copies of a single book every two months, and that will not be a problem!
This does not include the mainland of China, if Yin Jun opens up the market here, he can expect to sell more than 400 million copies each time!
Come back to the present.
In order to expand production this time, Kirin culture also spent a lot.
For example, the environmental protection treatment of the printing plant has to add a large amount of expansion, equipment purchase, and site construction, which is 120 million Hong Kong dollars, much more than the original batch of more than 70 million.
There is also the purchase of Heidelberg printing press, and Kirin Culture has added 240 million equipment in one go, all of which are the latest and greatest machinery and equipment.
In terms of workers, in order to cope with the doubling of printing tasks, the Kirin Printing Factory has recruited another 1,800 workers, including 300 veterans who have entered the Kirin Security Department, which is a large monthly salary subsidy.
Now the Kirin Printing Factory has already become the largest single factory in Xiangjiang, with a scale of 7,000 people, which is incomparable to any factory.
Although there are about 2,800 security personnel in it, and it is not only used for the Kirin printing factory, but in fact, the more than 4,000 front-line staff are also very amazing.
In this way, at least three months is considered to be in vain, and there is no way to earn a penny.
But in the long run, such an expansion is a good thing for the entire Kirin Group.
As long as "Kirin Weekly" and the single line instinct continue to develop so strongly, then the continuous expansion is a necessary embodiment of conquering the city, and not expanding the capacity is simply a waste of the influence and attraction of comics!
Yin Jun is happy that it is not only the influence of the comic book that has expanded.
In the past two or three weeks, the box office share of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has arrived one after another.
The first to settle "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was actually Xiangjiang Cinemas, which was released a month later in the United States.
Cinemas all over the world have the same virtue, and it is impossible to settle the box office the next day on the same day, and it is impossible to settle it a week later.
If you are kinder, the settlement will start after two or three weeks, and the first week box office will generally be settled after a month.
is like a Hollywood theater chain, the box office settlement within three months, they are very professional, and it is not unusual for them to arrive in half a year.
Many small film companies in the United States have obviously made good-looking movies and money-making movies, but they have closed down because of this, because they can't get the part of the dividends they deserve, so they owe employees and other expenses, and finally end up.
When they are finished, those big Hollywood studios will buy them like saviors, so that they can also get a rich share, which is really!
At the beginning of September, "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which was released in Xiangjiang for 6 weeks, finally came to an end.
Basically, the film market in other places is also fully screened at about the same time as Xiangjiang, and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is officially completed.
The global box office of 611 million US dollars has set a new box office record in recent years, second only to "Jaws" and "Star Wars", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has become the third highest-grossing super movie in the world ever!
In fact, there are many movie theaters that want to continue to let "Raiders of the Lost Ark" play its residual heat, but this kind of super blockbuster has ruled the theater chain for too long, which is a great harm to local films, especially now that Heung Kong Film Company is blooming, even more so.
So it was forced to go offline after 6 weeks, and in fact, the number of movie theaters continued to decrease after 2 weeks.
Under such pressure, the total box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in Hong Kong reached 43.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which made countless industry insiders who had long expected it frown and made countless fans worship.
Xiangjiang is not the main battlefield of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", everyone can get a box office of more than 40 million casually, but what about our own movies?
The bottleneck of 10 million was only broken last year, and even 20 million has not yet been touched!
I don't know if anyone will be able to break this admirable record in ten years?!
In fact, the people of Xiangjiang are still a little arrogant.
In the previous life, just next year, a movie called "Modern Bodyguard" touched the ceiling of 20 million box office with a box office of more than 17 million.
In 1982, "Best Partner" was born, with a box office result of 26 million, easily breaking the record of 20 million, which is jaw-dropping.
Three years later, 1985's "Lucky Stars" reached a box office of 30 million, breaking the record of 30 million.
Another five years later, in 1990, "The Saint of Gambling" and "The Gambler" both broke the box office record of 40 million.
Four years later, in 1994, "God of Gamblers 2" officially announced that it had become the first local film to break 50 million box office, and Xiangjiang Films also reached an unprecedented peak in the past two years.
Such a very healthy development curve actually represents the continuous accumulation and vigorous development of Xiangjiang films.
Although the Hong Kong movies at that time were not as good as Hollywood's, their influence and popularity in Asia were not comparable to those of Hollywood films.
But Xiangjiang Films died by themselves, crudely fabricated, illogical, and insincere, and in just a few years, that is, after 1998, they quickly sank to the bottom, leaving them with no room to save at all.
The success of Raiders of the Lost Ark is actually multifaceted.
Lucas has not completely given up on the film yet, and has not focused on special effects and building the "Star Wars" brand.
Spielberg gradually entered a period of maturity, and Harrison Ford was at the peak of his acting skills.
In addition, the investment is very huge, and the shooting is very sincere.
And so on and so forth.
These factors are added together to create such an explosive "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
Some time ago, Yin Jun said when he was having dinner with Shao Yifu, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Wu Siyuan, Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long and others that a good movie like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a good film that comes once in ten years, even if it is the United States itself, there are not a few.
That's why its global box office is so perverted, reaching such an exaggerated figure of $611 million.
Xiangjiang Movies should not be arrogant, nor should they be ambitious, they should go step by step, only in this way can they stabilize their basic plate and fight more with Hollywood in the future.
Yin Jun didn't know what Shao Yifu thought, but except for him, the rest of the people all agreed with Yin Jun's opinion very much, and Zou Wenhuai still had a light in his eyes, obviously ready to touch Hollywood.
Not to mention the future.
Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Cinemas co-screened "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Golden Harvest is also an investor in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but they also started to settle with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" together with Shaw Brothers in mid-to-late August, and it is only the local box office, and the Nanyang box office that they are responsible for will have to wait a few more weeks.
At the box office in Xiangjiang, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" took 40%, which is the highest proportion of overseas box office share, and most of the rest of the places have 30%, or even 25%.
According to this ratio, the dividend of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in Xiangjiang is 17.4 million Hong Kong dollars.
In comparison, the box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the United States is 252 million, with a share ratio of 45%, and the successive arrival of 113.4 million US dollars is what really makes Yin Jun and Zou Wenhuai happy.
Their total investment is $25 million, and the North American box office alone can make the two of them a lot of money.
Although Zou Wenhuai only has one-sixth of the income, his income of 19 million, even after deducting all the investment and taxes, he can earn about 6 million US dollars.
Not to mention that according to this ratio, Golden Harvest's global after-tax net profit will reach 25 million US dollars.
$25 million is 115 million Hong Kong dollars.
How many movies does Zou Wenhuai have to make and release in Xiangjiang in order to earn 115 million!?
Normally, this is equivalent to the net profit of Jiahe's hard work for 2 years.
Just happened to take a ride and got such a huge benefit, why don't you say Zou Wenhuai is overjoyed and smiles from ear to ear?
Rao is now cooperating with Jiahe again because of various interests, and Shao Yifu is still a little dissatisfied with Zou Wenhuai's recent high-profile performance.
But if he is not satisfied, he will only be dissatisfied after all, and he has no way to replace Zou Wenhuai to invest in "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
Even Zou Wenhuai made a profit of 25 million US dollars, and Yin Jun's investment was four times that of him, so the harvest should naturally be four times as much.
That's $100 million!
Boy!
A movie!
What brought Yin Jun was a net profit after tax of 460 million Hong Kong dollars.
How many more?
Then Yin Jun still can't make money!?
For a while, I don't know how many people were red-eyed.
I don't know how many people want to squeeze into the film circle, and the best one can cooperate with Yin Jun!
As a result, "Police Investigation School", which is in production, has become an existence of envy and hatred in everyone's eyes.
But "Police Investigation School" is the cooperation of Yin Jun, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, and it has already been decided, and outsiders can't interfere if they want to.
Some people found Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, saying that they wanted to share the risk with them and invest in the crew of "Police School".
There is no doubt that Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai did not agree to such a clear matter of picking up cheap.
With the success of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", they are full of confidence in another movie like "Police School" that will be screened around the world!
Lei Juekun also talked to Yin Jun in private, why didn't you look for me this time for filming? You can't do this next time, we are still direct partners, your Kowloon Bus, I am still taking care of it!
However, Lei Juekun is just talking.
There are many people who are excited, but many more are waiting.
Yin Jun has no doubts about making Xiangjiang movies, but he is now making a global film with a large investment of 60 million Hong Kong dollars, which makes people feel a little uneasy.
If it is messed up, it will be a loss of tens of millions, which film company can afford to lose money?
Of course, if "Police Detective School" is a box office hit, then it will definitely be different, and even Lei Juekun will definitely join Yin Jun's next global movie.
However, Yin Jun has no plans to come up with more good movies to share with all filmmakers.
It is Yin Jun's expectation for filmmakers in Xiangjiang to make high-quality films and make money, but this does not mean that they can get something for nothing, if they don't have their own creativity, then sooner or later a country's film will be finished.
What teenagers hope more is to stimulate those who really want to make movies through "Police Detective School", so that they can also learn and make good movies with their own characteristics, so as to form a situation where a hundred flowers bloom.
Only like the Seven Hollywood Majors, you chase me to make good movies, can the Chinese film industry flourish!
