Hollywood legendary director

Issue, issue.

As long as it can touch domestic issuance, it will not be unfamiliar to overseas issuance.

In the final analysis, this is a process of dividing the cake. I took out a project, alas, it was very good. The audience liked it at the box office. Then I asked someone to contact the theater. You take a bit, I share a bit, he eats some, a complete process After that, all the benefits that should be divided are cleanly divided, and then wait for the next cake to appear.

But why are so many studios not exploring overseas markets?

The first is the problem of funding. Not everyone has a funder who has continued blood transfusion. There are many examples of taking a wrong step and going bankrupt directly. Everyone does not want to take risks;

The second problem is the source of the film. If you only make two or three films a year, what about overseas distribution? It's a waste and it won't be necessary. It is directly entrusted to the top five, and if one is selected, it will be selected.

Not to mention, many second- and third-tier studios actually have business dealings with the Big Five, and if they cooperate for a long time, or hold shares to win, the projects they produce will flow into the hands of the Big Five, and there are many more options.

After all, most people really can't compete with the established interests, so they won't admit their fate.

Of course, there is a cost to open up overseas markets.

If you want to do it alone, it doesn’t mean that the original "issuance" fee will no longer be paid, and the party who loses interest will definitely have some actions. Furthermore, although there is no need to raise a distribution team from one region to one region, each region All need a distribution point, but also staff stationed, responsible for communicating with local distributors and theater chains.

The so-called simultaneous releases usually come in this way, and they must be contacted one or two months in advance to determine the time and schedule.

In this way, the time that should be spent will still be spent, and the money that should be thrown out to shop the channel will not be less.

Lehman asked Perlman to take over the responsibility because Liam's identity was a little more sensitive, and he was always caught out of parliament. After all, the current fireflies don't want to be targeted by all five.

He thought it over, first learn the forbearance of the Lionsgate, stay stubborn, wait for the Lionsgate to jump out to pull the hatred, then slowly reveal the intention.

Anyway, this can't be done in a short time. Don't look like it can be done by contacting the local distribution and communicating with the theater, but why should people cooperate with you?

Troublesome things that don't have much profit, usually no one wants to do it.

......

The Firefly's laying of overseas distribution networks soon began "quietly".

Of course, if you can hide from outsiders, you can't hide from your own people.

However, those who can find problems with some transfers are generally smart people, and smart people have never been big mouths.

Like Joseph...

He found out that Perlman had no reason to raise his salary for no apparent reason, and the copyright affairs had also begun to be controlled remotely, and the deputy of the team was asked to run. You should know that Perlman enjoyed the hard work before and traveled everywhere.

All kinds of unusual things are piled together, and some signals can be found.

Not to mention, Lehman didn't discuss with him at all. In fact, Lehman was just too troublesome. Furthermore, Joseph was actually not very good at issuing. He was even better at formulating company rules, daily management, or general personnel. Mobilize.

However, Lyman can say nothing, but Joseph can't think of nothing.

Perlman's private budget expenditure alone, a little calculation, you know that it is a big move.

Moreover, people ran outside again...

Joseph's heart was tense, but there was nothing strange on his face. He didn't plan to talk to Lehman because of this. He just quickly handled the matter at hand, and then left the company and went to Blue Butterfly Pictures.

Of course, the purpose of his trip was to confirm with Liam the screening schedule of "Juneo", such as choosing a schedule or something.

After Joseph arrived, Liam was holding an internal meeting to talk about the painting of "300".

After more than two months, even the daily harvest of 100,000 can not be maintained, and it should start to settle.

At this time, there is still a certain market for overseas screening of films, but only in North America.

The box office has accumulated a total of 210.7 million U.S. dollars. Excluding the distribution, production, and copy loss in the middle, as well as the theater share, it can make a profit of 41.6 million U.S. dollars without counting overseas.

After the producer’s net profit comes out, he removes the share of Zhadao’s studio and draws a part of the profit to reward the filmmakers behind the scenes. In the end, there is still US$31 million left-only the box office is calculated, and Zhadao and his studio can participate in this project. 20.5 million credited.

Fox is at least 45 million.

As for offline, Zhadao can only divide a small part of the TV buyout fee and on-demand fee. This is the bulk of Firefly's profit, and there is no possibility of letting it out.

After all, most directors profit from basic salary and box office share.This is a common rule in the industry.

To put it all together, Firefly should be able to get no less than 245 million US dollars in the "300" project for two years.

What's more, it improves the company's priority in other parties and the brand image.

Lehman hopes that in the future, there will be only a small amount of publicity expenses and a little advertising, but the audience will see that it is produced by Firefly and will most likely go to the theater to support that day.

The so-called role of a label is like this, it's like a director's name comes out and a die-hard fan buys tickets for fear that it will be too late...

After the meeting, Liam met Joseph in his office.

The two were not wordy, Joseph said directly: "Juneo is finished later, do you know?"

Oh, it turned out to be just this.

Of course Liam knew about the film schedule, and even did it too many times, without any excitement in his heart.

Compared with "Museum" which is still earning box office in the theater market, North America has saved 130 million. The production expenditure of "Juneo" is only 11 million US dollars of small-cost works, which is nothing at all.

Of course, the things that should be done still need to be done, or even done well.

Because of the low cost and the topic market where the main creative lineup is not hyped, a good and reasonable schedule is even more needed, as well as an accurate entry point for publicity.

Liam settled down, thought for a while, and took out the recent theater schedule from the drawer.

Most studios need to arrange screenings at least half a month in advance, and the theaters have to set aside time for the screen, so the major studios know the arrangements within two or three months, and even understand themselves. What kind of opponent you will face, and then calculate the pros and cons.

Some are cannon fodder, which can survive by themselves. If you are happy, you will not be so sad when you lose; some are focused on, and you must stagger the peak period with other good projects, or it is true. The market does not overlap. That's right.

The box office is a good thing, and everyone wants to pursue higher and more.

I took out the scheduling and researched it-in fact, there is not much room for research.

The moment the film is not released, the audience needs to complete any predictions before.

However, "Juneo" does not have so much demand for theater resources, and the audience is not wide. In addition, it is a story about adolescent men and women with a little humor and healing elements. It is very good to arrange it in March.

As soon as February of this year is definitely Oscar's world, relevant media will be attracted;

Secondly, the Oscars will stimulate the theater market. Generally speaking, the market in March is not bad throughout the spring, and it is much higher than in April;

Thirdly, "Museum" almost entered a period of weakness in March, and it happened to use "Juneo" to connect to the market. In addition, there is an Easter in March, and students have a holiday, which just happens to attract young people to enter...

In general, no matter how you look at it, the March schedule is a good choice.

Although other studios also have projects and need to compete, there will be competition for no matter how cold the schedule is, it is nothing more than whether there are high-competitive blockbusters.

The two discussed for a while, and Joseph said again: "Then how many screens do you plan to arrange?"

"2200 yuan, if you communicate with the theater operators in advance, you can still call it out. Recently, our movies have brought them a lot of profits, and they will care about it."

"Well, I have also discussed the additional screenings. I think the boss has a lot of confidence in this film." Joseph reminded.

But until the end, there was no mention that the company might lay down overseas channels.

Humans, they bother themselves because they are smart.

If you are too honest, who cares about such twists and turns.

Liam was taken aback for a moment. Perhaps the boss was also optimistic about this sentence, which made him change his mind again, "Actually, working hard, 2400 screens can also be negotiated. After all, is it March..."
