someone shouts.

His mood at this moment, to use a popular term in his previous life, is... so deceiving!

Due to the excessive investment in "Titanic", the lustful senior executives worked so hard that their pockets were weak and they had no extra funds to invest in other film projects. They could only go hunting outside and buy some small companies to produce.

The films they shoot are distributed and released using their own theaters... Anyway, if your own theaters are idle, they will be idle, and you can make a little bit of money.

Just in time, Halloween is here.

It just so happens that the "ghost story" used by Yi Feiyang to promote "Ghost Story" is beautiful enough.

The newly promoted Mr. Raymond of Paramount is a complete "ghost story fan" and likes to listen to some novel stories.

So, naturally, Paramount, which was worried that there was no movie to release, found Fantasy Pictures. To put it lightly, it is called, a bitch meets a prostitute, and they hit it off. To put it nicely, it is, heroes cherish heroes and help each other.

.

On behalf of Fantasy Pictures, Yi Feiyang signed a cooperation agreement with representatives of Paramount Pictures. The content is very simple, mainly to determine how the future box office will be divided.

In fact, in Hollywood, there are three models for box office sharing between film producers and theater distributors.

The first is the traditional fixed account sharing model.

Regarding the traditional model of "one-time" determination of the four-to-six share ratio of a movie's box office, there are two attitudes in the Hollywood industry. One is that only some small and micro-invested films and small film studios without much industry influence will give up adjusting the movie share ratio.

Opportunities, these studios are already very satisfied with the opportunity for their films to enter theaters, and will not take the initiative to ask for floating or changing the share ratio; the other group believes that this method is relatively safe and will still be accepted by most studios.

The second type is the box office tiered accounting model.

This model is actually suitable for some movies with high investment, excellent quality, audience expectations, and high confidence of the film studio.

The "box office tiered accounting model" represented by this year's "Saving Private Ryan" is to divide the accounting ratio into grades according to the expected box office performance of the movie. Usually the studio's share ratio will increase according to the increase in box office. For example, the movie box office

When the amount is within 200 million yuan, the issuer's share remains at 43%, the amount over 200 million yuan is divided into 45%, and the amount over 500 million yuan is divided into 47%.

"Box office performance is currently the only criterion for measuring whether a movie makes money in the United States. Only movies with truly high box office strength can have the strongest box office control. The 'box office tiered accounting model' is currently the most market-oriented floating movie box office accounting in Hollywood.

Pattern." A certain movie mogul said.

The third type is the declining distribution model.

The release time tiered account sharing model can not only extend the release time for the film side, but also give part of the box office share to the exhibitor. Therefore, it has always been considered by the industry as the most likely to achieve a win-win situation for the film side and the exhibitor.

At present, most Hollywood blockbusters in the United States are popular in this way to adjust the split ratio. The box office split between the distribution company and the theater chain is 7:3 in the first week, 6:4 in the second week, and so on. The longer the movie is shown, the more revenue the theater chain earns.

The higher the ratio.

However, when Yi Feiyang signed the account sharing agreement with representatives of Paramount Cinemas, he did not choose the above three models, but adopted a more novel or "weird" account sharing model, that is, the first week 25

% share, 35% share in the second week, 45% share in the third week, 55% share in the fourth week...

Seeing this profit sharing proposal, the Paramount representative laughed. Isn't this asking for death? You know, after a new movie is released, the box office is mostly concentrated in the first two weeks. As the release time is longer, the box office will gradually decrease.

No matter how much you split, it won't help if the box office doesn't help. What's more, the traditional split model is at least 40% or 60%, which is 40%. China Yi actually proposed that the split be 25% and 35% in the first two weeks... Haha, this is not

Do you think you have too much money?!

So, before Yi Feiyang, a Chinese idiot, could understand, Paramount representatives hurriedly signed a share agreement with him.

After signing, the Paramount representative shook hands with Yi Feiyang cordially and said to himself: "You fool!!"
Chapter completed!
