Entertainment: Beginning with Child Stars

Chapter 623 The Inside Story of Box Office Share!!

“Then there is the crew box lunch, two meals a day to calculate, the price of each person’s box lunch, two meals a day is 20 yuan, a day is 6,000, a month is 180,000, 5 months is 900,000.”

“The 300 employees of the whole crew, the salary, food and accommodation combined, the total expenditure after filming this play is 10.65 million;”

“Then the film’s salary, salary, food and accommodation, and the total cost of filming a play is more than 50 million; If I also want to get paid, according to my value, at least 20 million; Fortunately, my own film does not need to be paid, saving 20 million. ”

“The remaining cost of about 950 million, as just said, a month of special effects production, a month to spend a hundred million, 8 months is 800 million; the remaining 150 million; but also to the post-editor salary, but also to do the cost of publicity.” 」

“The cost of 100 million is basically used like this.”

Luo Shao calculated this account for all the audiences, so that they could know why science fiction films need to burn so much money.

“Does it take so much to publicize it?” What are the main aspects of the spending? ”

Xie Li, who did not understand, asked Luo Shao.

“A lot of ah, film materials, theater promotional materials, media publicity, events, posters, etc.”

“For example, if you see the posters in the cinema, and the posters you see on the walls of the cinema, or the electronic screen trailers in the cinemas, the posters, these are the places where the publicity costs money.”

“There are also some film promotion activities, since it is an event, it is definitely necessary to invite a host, and there will be security guards to maintain order and so on.”

“These are the places where the film is advertised, and the specific amount of money depends on the scale.”

“The publicity of ‘Spider-Man’ used about 100 million, which is already a small amount.”

“Some movies, just in terms of publicity, may cost two or three hundred million.”

After Luo Shao told these insider stories, the audience knew that a movie had to invest so much.

The same is true of the Happy Family, who were equally surprised when they learned of this.

“Of course, I don’t have to worry about it all, it’s definitely the company’s people who are responsible.”

“If I come alone, I’ll be exhausted.”

Luo Shao shook his head as he spoke.

“Got it.”

The Happy Family all understood, really understood, why Luo Shao was under so much pressure, and finally understood why Luo Shao always did not release an album.

Now that they are all busy like this, if they still release albums, they must not be more tired.

“Then I’m curious, why is it that the box office of a movie can only be returned if the cost of the film is three times the cost?”

Wei Jia asked his own questions that he could not understand.

“It’s simple.”

Luo Shao replied: “The box office share of the film is 5% of the film development fund, 3.3% of the business tax, 50% of the cinema line, and the rest is the production and distribution.” ”

“Take the 1 billion box office; The film fund will be divided into 55 million, the business tax will be divided into 33 million, and the theater will be divided into 500 million, which is already 588 million, and the remaining 412 million is the production and distribution side. ”

“If the production cost of these 1 billion box office films is 500 million, then the remaining 412 million cannot even be returned; at the same time, you have to pay taxes on the 412 million; if you pay taxes, depending on the situation, because the taxes are different, it is difficult to say.”

“Then, if the production cost of a film with a box office of 1 billion is 300 million, the remaining 412 million, excluding the cost of 300 million, the remaining 112 million is deducted from tax; the rest is 20 or 30 million box office is earned by the producer.”

“Wow wow”

The audience was even more surprised by this, which was also too.

“Doesn’t a movie like Spider-Man, which invests 100 million, have to pay 3 billion at the box office to get its money back?”

“That’s right.”

Luo Shao admitted that it was indeed true.

“Just like ‘Transformers’ is also invested 100 million, the final global total box office is more than 1.1 billion US dollars; It is less than 7 billion rmb box office. ”

“Take 7 billion; The 5% film fund share is 350 million; the 3.3% business tax share is 231 million; the theater share is 3.5 billion; then these three items are divided into 4.081 billion of the 7 billion box office. ”

“The remaining 2.919 billion, plus the cost of 1 billion, plus the taxes I need to pay; in the end, in fact, the profit is more than a billion, not as much as you think of billions of dollars.” 」

Everyone was screaming, and it was terrifying.

“Wouldn’t cinemas be more profitable in that case?”

Er didn’t understand either, and asked Luo Shao.

“Oh wow”

A lot of people will have this idea.

“In fact, it is not the case, you said that the film with a box office of 100 million, and the movie with a box office of tens of millions, in fact, the time of playback is similar, and it is all about so much time and material resources.”

“If every movie has more than 100 million at the box office, the box office taken by the cinema will of course earn.”

“But it’s not that every movie can have such a high box office.”

“The rental cost of the movie theater, the electricity fee, and the labor cost must also be calculated.”

“Although it is true that it is a high box office, it is only profitable to meet a box office explosion like ‘Transformers’, and every year the cinema has an off-season.”

“But in the off-season, it’s impossible for a movie theater to be closed, isn’t it?”

“In the off-season, the box office is sluggish, and the theater is losing money.”

“So this is the so-called amount of film; A movie with a good reputation and high commercial value, the cinema will give the movie a little more. ”

“The number of films has come up, and the box office revenue is naturally high, and the cinema can get more share.” “These are multi-faceted and cannot be seen on the surface. ”

“As I just said, “Transformers” worldwide box office of 700 million is not wrong, I invested 100 million is not wrong, on the surface of this box office, I made 6 billion, but in fact, divided down, in fact, I did not earn as much as everyone thinks, only after you go to understand, only after you understand it, the water in this line is not as shallow as you think.”

Luo Shao said here, another example: “Of course, there are also very profitable movies. ”

“For example, Tai 囧, with an investment of about 50 million yuan and a box office of 1.2 billion; According to the 40% box office share, there are also 480 million, and then deduct 50 million costs and tens of millions of taxes, that can invest 50 million to earn 400 million. ”

“But like this kind of small-cost big-box office movie, it is almost unattainable, out of one, of course, everyone laughs and giggles haha, but this kind of in our Chinese film industry, no, it should be said that in the global film industry, how many can appear?”

“Snap Snap~”

When Luo Shao finished saying these insiders, all the audience members applauded.
