MTL - Rebirth Starts at 7 Million-Chapter 204 brush presence
Chen Junmiao made it very clear about the movie's dividends, but in fact she didn't understand why the movie theaters paid more than the producers, and the producers still licked the movie theaters.
She told Cao Shuai her doubts and said that she really didn't know much about this.
After thinking about it, Cao Shuai gave his own answer. Cao Shuai felt that the movie theater could get more money because the movie theater had to bear high ground rent and labor costs, as well as daily expenses such as equipment maintenance and operation. The participating theaters will also take a cut and submit it to the theater chain.
It seems that the movie theater has won the "big head" in the box office share, but in fact the profit is shabby.
On the other hand, it is those directors who want to get a higher rate of film placement on the show side by reducing their final dividend ratio.
After all, the producer can only make money if the amount of film production increases. If the amount of film production does not increase, what will the producer do to make money?
And the box office dividends, the average movie theater can't talk about it, mainly because the theater chain is talking with the producer.
During this time, Cao Shuai has been busy with the cinema, and he has a fairly clear understanding of the cinema chain and its subordinate cinemas.
Generally speaking, there are three main types of cinemas in cinemas affiliated to cinemas:
One is a vertical direct relationship, that is, an asset relationship. For example, Yida Cinemas, the vast majority of cinemas are their own land projects in commercial real estate invested by Yida Group, and the cinemas are wholly owned by the parent company.
This kind of theater chain has a very strong control over the theaters. For example, the film arrangement of the theaters under the Yida Cinema Line is directly arranged by the theater chain. The theater manager does not have the right to arrange the film. In fact, he is a store manager, and his main job is to serve the audience well.
The other is the relationship of vertical direct subordination + joining, which is the path taken by Xingyuan Cinemas and Jinyi Cinemas.
Part of the cinema ownership of this type of cinema chain is the cinema chain invested and constructed by the parent company of the cinema chain itself, and the other part is the franchised cinemas. The franchised cinemas are not the same as the cinema chain ownership.
The film arrangement of this kind of theater line is also directly arranged by the theater line, and the theater manager does not have the right to arrange the film. However, the owner of the investment theater can decide to make the film according to the requirements of the theater line, but in most cases, the theater owner only An investor would not care about filming.
The last type is pure franchise theater chain. This kind of theater chain is generally composed of cinemas in various regions. The cinema can freely choose whether to join different local theater chains.
The structure of this kind of theater chain is very loose. Generally, theaters will join which theater chain to see which theater chain gives them good conditions and treatment, and the theater chain will try its best to strive for high-quality theaters to join itself in order to rank for its own performance. theater line.
These three cinema chains basically constitute the cinema market of Huaxia.
The leader among them is naturally Yida, and they naturally have the right to share the cake in the entertainment industry.
And Xingyuan Studios came to the top with the investment of Xingyuan parent company and Penguin, and the scale of the theater chain has been ranked in the top five in the country. The status of the theater line of this scale is already very high, so those directors will come to curry favor with Cao Cao handsome.
After figuring out the relationship between theaters, movies, and even the entertainment industry, Cao Shuai's mind became active. Judging from this situation, Xingyuan Studios is already the maker of the rules, or at least the party that can use the rules. .
That being the case, Cao Shuai knew what to do. As a user of the rules, he should have a sense of existence first, and then he would be able to share the cake.
Thinking of this, Cao Shuai looked at Chen Junmiao up and down and said, "Xiao Chen, how much money do you think you can invest in a movie to have a more important role?"
Chen Junmiao's heart jumped faster and faster when she heard the words. She hesitated for a while and said, "The roles that are more important than... should be the top five in the show, and they should account for 10% of the investment."
"10%? Xiao Chen, you used to be the front desk of the company, and you can be regarded as the face of our company. If it becomes popular in the future, it would be good for you to be an image spokesperson for some of the company's products."
Now that he had decided to do it, Cao Shuai directly contacted the headhunting company to recruit a little-known broker in the industry, and then handed Chen Junmiao over to her.
In the next half month, Cao Shuai met with more than a dozen directors and read the script outline they prepared.
To be honest, most of the scripts Cao Shuai, a layman, seem to be quite stupid. There are only a few that can catch your eye. Among them, Cao Shuai is most optimistic about the movie called "National Witness". He feels the plot of this movie. very interesting.
But unfortunately, the director has already decided that the heroine will be played by the little aunt in the love apartment, and the rest of the roles are not suitable for Chen Junmiao.
In desperation, Cao Shuai could only go to Luo Fan with the other films he had chosen.
Luo Fan doesn't know much about movies. He only knows some very popular movies and movies he has seen.
The few movies that Cao Shuai brought over happened to be not particularly popular, but there was a movie he had watched called "The City's College Entrance Examination".
Luo Fan has almost forgotten the plot of this movie, but he always remembers the way the actor in it plays and sings "Snail" with a guitar.
Luo Fan felt that if he could remember some plots, it should not be a bad movie.
So Luo Fan took out the script of "The City's College Entrance Examination" and said, "Let's do it! Try to get a more likable role."
Cao Shuai nodded, took the script and left.
Later, Cao Shuai met with the director. The director's surname is Zhong and he is from HK. He has cooperated with Wang Jing several times.
Cao Shuai still knows Wang Jing fairly well. He has seen all the films he collaborated with Xing Ye, Cao Shuai, especially "King of Destruction" Cao Shuai is still deeply impressed.
There is also "God of Gamblers". Gao Jin is Cao Shuai's favorite movie character. His current mobile wallpaper is still Gao Jin.
Maybe it's because of Love House and Wu! Contrary to his usual tough attitude, Cao Shuai spoke in a calmer tone.
During the conversation between the two, Cao Shuai learned that Director Zhong planned to invest 30 million yuan to make this movie, and Cao Shuai took the opportunity to propose a stake and a role.
Originally, Director Zhong planned to follow the path of combining the old and the new with the old, bringing the old with the new.
Who does the newcomer use? And there is still investment, and you can also get a higher number of screenings in Xingyuan Studios, why not do it?
So Zhong Dao resolutely agreed.
In the end, Cao Shuai took 10% of the shares with 3 million shares, and obtained an additional female No. 2 seat.
After Cao Shuai told Chen Junmiao about this, Chen Junmiao was very excited. She never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to play the second female lead in her life.
Cao Shuai smiled and simply encouraged Chen Junmiao to let her play well and forget about it.
After all, Xingyuan's action this time is just to create a sense of presence in the entertainment industry and to prepare for this big cake in the future. It doesn't matter if the movie is successful or not.
