Chapter 940

Xiao Yunhai immediately understood the meaning of No. 1 chief.

Yes, it is obvious that there are more wolves and less meat in China than in Europe and America. The films made by film companies are not enough for cinemas to show, let alone blockbusters. Apart from the powerful large companies, few other companies spend a lot of money on blockbusters.

Take the battle of Red Cliff as an example. The script is obviously excellent. There is a 70% chance of making money when it is shot. However, no company is willing to take the risk to independently undertake the capital of more than 1 billion yuan.

Why? It's nothing more than worrying that the investment will not come back.

If a movie with an investment of one billion yuan wants to make a profit, the box office must reach at least 2.5 billion yuan. Otherwise, it will be a loss.

The reason for such a thing lies in the courtyard line.

In this world, whether in China or other countries, the box office quota in the first week is 57%: 43%, and the corresponding increase will not be made until the second week.

However, in the fierce market competition, the life span of a film is only two weeks. Even a super movie like Infernal Affairs has just passed three weeks. Among them, the box office in the first week accounts for more than 60% of the total box office.

The proportion of cinema lines is 57%, which naturally accounts for a great benefit. And 43% of the producers' profits, excluding publicity, distribution and entertainment taxes, are only 20% to 30% of the profits.

Although there are more and more fans and the market is getting bigger and bigger, there are not many films that can really make profits. It's good to have one tenth of them.

When chatting with Xiao Yunhai, Zhao Mingsheng often joked that he was a big capitalist who exploited these film companies.

although it was a joke, it also showed the seriousness of the problem. You know, Hanhai film and television investment company is one of the top ten entertainment companies in China. Even it feels this problem, let alone other companies.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai gave a bitter smile and said: "chief executive, since the government has discovered this problem, it must have come to a conclusion, so why ask me. You know, it's not very convenient for me to talk about it. "

No. 1 chief pointed to Xiao Yunhai and said with a smile, "you are really a slippery head. Didn't you see that I didn't even bring my secretary? I just don't want what we say today to the ears of a fourth person. Yunhai, although you are only twenty-five years old, you are actually the first person in Huaxia film and television. In addition, you are in the Bureau. You must have a unique explanation on this issue. Therefore, I hope you can like last year, stand in an objective perspective, do not have any scruples about this matter. Because it is related to the healthy development of the whole Chinese film and television industry. "

When Xiao Leshan saw that chief executive No.1 attached so much importance to Xiao Yunhai's opinions, Xiao Yunhai was still hesitating there, and he could not help but curse: "you boy, put your identity as a big capitalist back to me, and talk about the matter as a matter of fact, and don't make a fuss about it."

Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said with a wry smile, "grandfather, this matter that the chief executive asked may involve tens of millions of yuan of capital. I dare not talk about it casually. However, one thing I can be sure of is that cinemas do hinder the development of the film industry. In fact, this problem also exists not only in China but also abroad. Before that, those small and medium-sized film and television companies in the United States once boycotted cinemas for three times, but they broke them down in a very short time. We Huaxia film company is relatively gentle

At the beginning, Hollywood's small and medium-sized companies in order to obtain a larger share of film profits, united to put pressure on the eight major film companies.

If you don't change the quota, we won't show you the film.

Although the big eight Hollywood film companies are very good, they can't make enough movies for the cinema in any case. Therefore, more than 70% of the film sources still fall on these small and medium-sized film companies.

In the face of this situation, the eight major film companies use a very simple method. Find the company they lead and offer some benefits. If there are cracks inside them, the problem will be solved.

Three times in a row, none of them lasted for two days. They came fast and went faster. They didn't cause any disturbance in Hollywood, so they were settled by others. It was a disgrace to be thrown to grandma's house.

China's film and television industry has developed vigorously in recent years. Before that, the government strongly controlled the cinema, so there was no big problem.

But this year, with the entry of foreign film companies, the competition in the film market is extremely cruel. Many Huaxia companies are afraid of losing money, so they are cautious in the production of films. Although the quality of films is higher, the output is much lower. In this way, the quota problem is particularly prominent.

No one dares to make a film without increasing their profit ratio. In the long run, the Chinese film market will be over.

The No.1 chief executive gave Xiao Yunhai a look of appreciation and said: "as a shareholder of the cinema, you can say this, which shows that you are really for the sake of Chinese films, which makes me feel very happy. Some time ago, there was an extra document on my desk. More than 30 film companies, large and small, jointly submitted a letter asking the government to change the distribution ratio between cinemas and production companies, including your father-in-law Zhao Mingsheng. "Xiao Yunhai a Leng, way: "he did not tell me this matter."

"Maybe they signed a confidentiality agreement. After all, the scope of this matter is too large, the less people know, the better. Yunhai, if the government forcibly reduces the profit of the cinema, what will you do? "

Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "according to the rules, the government has no right to do so. It is likely to be resisted by all the cinemas in the world."

Xiao Yunhai is not alarmist. Once Huaxia changes the quota system of cinema lines and producers, it will cause a series of chain reactions. This is not only a matter of Huaxia, but also involves other cinemas in the world.

Once China's local cinemas open this gap, it is tantamount to forcing South Korea, Japan, Hollywood and other cinemas to change at the same time in disguise. Otherwise, no company will put the film on their cinemas. In this way, they will face no piece to let go. In addition, film companies in other countries will certainly compete to follow suit. At that time, it will certainly lead to an all-out war between producers and cinemas, with serious consequences.

Chief one nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. But if we do not, the Chinese film and television industry will never be able to flourish. There are more and more cinemas, but there are fewer and fewer films, which can not meet people's needs. And this matter can't be delayed. The longer the delay is, the greater the harm will be. "

Xiao Yunhai looked at the firm look of the No. 1 chief, knowing that he must have made up his mind, he said: "chief, what are you going to do? Will the quota system be changed directly

No.1 leader knocked on the table and said, "we need to eat one bite at a time and do things step by step. I hope you and your two partners don't do anything to stop the movie. "

Xiao Yunhai said with a bitter smile:" chief executive, I can only promise that I will not resist. If you want us to be the first to respond to the government, I'm afraid neither of them will agree. Chief, can you tell me how much profit ratio will be changed? "

"The first week is 55:45, the second week is 40:60, the third week is 30:70, and the fourth week is 20:80. Since we have to do it, we should do it at once. "

When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he took a breath of cold air. In the first week, the profit share of cinemas decreased by 12%. The government is really cruel.

Take Xinhua cinema line as an example, reducing profits by 12% is equivalent to handing over tens of billions of Chinese dollars to film companies.

In this way, the film companies are happy, and big investment movies will surely emerge one after another, but the theater owners are expected to cry.

Even Xiao Yunhai's thought of losing tens of billions a year is hard to accept, let alone those businessmen who regard money as their life.

No. 1 chief said, his eyes twinkled at Xiao Yunhai and said, "what's your attitude?"

Xiao Yunhai seriously said: "I give myself the positioning of a film maker, followed by a businessman."

No. 1 leader's face suddenly showed a gratifying smile and said: "I'm really glad that you can think so. It's said that your next film is a disaster film called "2012", which claims to break the world box office record. It seems that you are very confident. "

Xiao Yunhai said confidently: "breaking the record is not a difficult thing. "2012" uses the latest 3D technology shooting, can let the fans have the feeling of immersive. Success is inevitable, and the only uncertainty is how successful it will be. My goal is more than 15 billion dollars. "

No. 1 chief executive laughs: "have ambition."

Next, the two talked about some things about the film, and the No.1 chief executive got up to leave.

Watching his car slowly disappear in front of his eyes, Xiao Yunhai sighed: "the storm of the film industry is coming."

His shoulder, the trend can not be blocked

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "I understand. It is something that will happen sooner or later if we want to let Chinese films break free and get freedom. It's just that I didn't expect to come so soon, let alone the determination of the government. Ha ha, I'm afraid the owners of those cinemas are going to be miserable www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
