It’s really like a mountain that’s separated by a distance!

If I hadn't entered the entertainment industry in this life, especially in Hollywood's entertainment industry, I wouldn't have known that there were evil economic companies like CAA.

Moreover, CAA has close relationships with production companies, film factories, TV stations, technology companies and brand promotion companies, providing them with strategic advice, consulting, financing, media and charity consultants and other marketing promotion services. Therefore, CAA has grown rapidly in just a few years with a new business management method. At the same time, their operating methods have also promoted some updates to the entire Hollywood film and television industry. In the end, with a new form of "First Dollar Gross", it changed the rules of the game in the entire Hollywood, and in turn, it has won more big names in the film and television industry. Of course, the rapid increase in Hollywood star pay has also led to a sharp increase in the cost of film production by major Hollywood companies.

On the other hand, for film companies, CAA has also launched a "packaging" model. What does it mean? You can find directors and actors through CAA, and you can pack them all to CAA. Even the early screenwriters, productions, photography, props, etc. behind the scenes, post-production editing and production, etc., can all be packaged. If you still need services, CAA can even help you promote and release, and those who are short of money can also help you raise funds... Of course, you will have to spend a certain price.

In a word, in Hollywood, making movies is simple and actually quite simple. As long as you find CAA with your money, he will help you get it all!

It can be imagined that in Hollywood, CAA will grow into a terrible monster, and all this is achieved because of their monopoly on artist resources.

However, Jing Jian doesn't care about this now. What he needs now is a firefighting director, so he said directly: "About 80,000 US dollars, a suitable director. The advance distribution and promotion fee of 400,000 US dollars will be specifically responsible for you CAA." Since Jing Jian, the only one left in the film company, would rather just pack it up and try out the strength and energy of CAA.

Jing Jian’s temper is not very fond of giving up halfway. Moreover, the crew of that valley has been prepared and is really interrupted, so he is irresponsible to the actors and crew members. Jing Jian is not short of millions of dollars. Besides, it is also an unexpected fortune, and it is earned by MTV filming the Elf Bird.

Anthony's eyes lit up: "It's so amazing, I deserve to be a business genius from China. Please forgive me, this is not a compliment. You really know how to do it. Film production is indeed very important, but distribution and promotion are equally important. Please rest assured that our CAA has a professional team to serve you."

Jing Jian had long heard calluses in his ears of such flattery. He was unmoved at all: "What are the conditions for packaging and issuance?"

"You guarantee 100 screens, the screening period is 3 days, and then the specific box office situation will increase or decrease. You will bear the first cooperation, preferential prices, copy promotion and other distribution costs. We will be the agent for distribution, $150,000 or 15% of the total box office, which is the highest. Don't worry, as long as the video is not particularly bad, you must pass the movie viewing standards." Anthony said.

Jing Jian nodded secretly in his heart. No wonder this Anthony spoke a lot, and that CAA did have three points.

Jing Jian is no longer a layman and knows the distribution rules of Hollywood movies. In the whole year, in addition to the eight major studios, there are a lot of good and bad movies in Hollywood independent films, not to mention overseas movies. The films that can be released in North America can be said to be less than a fraction, and the standard for scheduling films is to pass the movies!

In fact, there are only a few wonderful classic movies a year, and those bad movies that can be seen at a glance are not to be said. Among a large number of movies that are not up to date, which one is considered qualified? Which one is considered unqualified? It is nothing more than a relationship. The relationship in Hollywood is actually very simple, just to let the distribution companies controlled by large studios try their best to squeeze. To be honest, it is still lucky to be lucky to be squeezed. You don’t even have the qualification to be squeezed? Then, you should throw the movies you spend money to shoot!

By the way, it is really lucky that the movies that Seed Entertainment filmed before were qualified to be squeezed and released.

The CAA agent release not only skipped the first step, but passed the movies! It also opened a good start, with 100 screens for 3 days! What does this mean?

According to the rules of North American movie screening, generally speaking, if the box office of each screen exceeds $500 per day, the cinema can make a profit. If it is below this standard, of course it will be game over. If it exceeds $1,000 per day, the screen will definitely be added. Anyway, the standard strong will always be strong, and the weaker the survival rules of the fittest will be.

So, as long as this movie is not particularly bad, it will be $1,000 in three days! It will basically take two weeks to schedule the film, and then add at least $500 a day for 10 days, totaling 100 screens, which will guarantee a box office of $800,000.

The calculation of the share ratio is very complicated. Simply put, if a film company can get about 50% of the box office in North America, remove the agency fee of $150,000 to CAA, and then remove the lawyers, auditors, etc., the approximate income will be... ahem, tens of thousands of dollars.

Well, this movie has invested more than 500,000 yuan, and the promotion is 400,000 yuan, with a total investment of about 1 million yuan. Now it only recovers one-tenth of the cost, which seems... ridiculous, right?

In fact, it is not ridiculous at all. Because it is impossible to save agency distribution fees, lawyers and auditor fees. Otherwise, box office statistics, settlements, etc., you will be killed by the group of "big gangsters" in Hollywood. It's not an exaggeration. After finally the movie was released, in the end, not only will you not receive the box office share, but you also owe a lot of debts. Such vomiting of blood often happens in Hollywood.

Do you understand now? The 100 screens from CAA will at least make you lose all your money and will not owe any debts. It is really Amitabha Buddha.

The life-and-death line for Seed Film to recover costs will be $2 million in North America. Of course, according to the previous mathematical calculations, the share can only be more than $500,000. However, because of this barely qualified North America box office, it can release the $2300,000 after being released overseas, the sales, rentals, copyright purchases of TV station movie channels, etc. Even if the difference is more than 100,000 yuan, the annual copyright income will always be 20,000 yuan. After a few years, you will always be able to make a profit, so it is not a big deal. I am really impatient, so I can simply sell the copyright for more than 100,000 yuan.
