The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

　　 There are a lot of movies that are not popular, and the reputation is rotten, but there are also many movies that have a good box office.

　　 But "The Legend of the Shadow Warriors" is a typical word-of-mouth and poor box office.

　　 If the box office on the first day of the screening reached 40 million, it is not satisfactory. If you can look at the follow-up trend, it fell sharply to more than 10 million on the second day, and there was not even 10 million on the third day.

　　 Seeing clearly, this film is almost cold.

　　 Three weeks have passed, and the box office has stayed at over 100 million yuan.

　　 This movie, including the announcement, has a total investment of more than 100 million yuan, and it can't be paid back properly.

　　 Not only can't return the book, the pure box office is definitely a blood loss.

　　 Generally speaking, it is impossible for the box office to get a lot of split-book producers. All the box office tax is deducted first, and then the theater and the theater will divide 50% to 60% of the income. The remaining part is the film producer and distributor, which will be distributed according to the contract, and the general distributor will get it. About 10% of the income of the producer.

　　 In general, the amount that New Mo Media can reap from the box office is only about one-third, which is about 30 million yuan.

　　Compared to an investment of over 100 million, it is a **** loss.

　　 Of course, the revenue of a movie does not depend solely on the box office. Peripheral derivatives, TV and Internet broadcast copyrights, Blu-ray discs... These are all subsequent means of returning funds.

　　In Hollywood, the box office revenue even accounts for only a small part of the revenue of a movie, and the length of time derived from it is the biggest part of the final profit.

　　 However, the situation in China is different. The income of derivatives is obviously not that high.

　　 Inadequate copyright protection is an important reason.

　　Of course, even if this part of the money is small, some costs can be recovered through these channels, especially the sale of broadcast rights, which is a big part.

　　 If it is a hot movie, this part of the money will not be very small, especially in the era when the current domestic awareness of authenticity is gradually waking up.

　　 However, the current box office results of "Magic Shadow War" basically declared that Xinmo Media would never want to recover its investment cost no matter what method it adopted.

　　 For a movie, the box office performance is fundamental. The box office is good. Not only does it have a lot of money at the box office, but also the value of marketing with various copyrights will rise.

　　 While the box office is on the street, other copyright marketing, in most cases, will not be good.

　　 Actually, if the special effects part of the movie weren't really done, the box office results would have to drop a lot.

　　 Du Zhengde was hit hard.

　　 When he participated in the post-production of the film, he was already feeling bad.

　　 The effects of the special effects were really good. At that time, he was a little relieved.

　　 is not a lot of films, the acting is bad, the plot is not good, the result is still relying on special effects to achieve results?

　　 With one last thought, he invested in post-production.

　　 As a result, when editing in the later stage, he sadly watched the film side make random cuts.

　　 It's not that he didn't make any comments, but it was useless.

　　 He still remembers what Hu Kang said to him: "You are the director, and you can manage it when you shoot. We have hired a very good editor, and there are many professionals who are checking it. Don't worry."

rest assured? Don't worry!

　　 Today's evil consequences are already like this.

　　 In fact, to be honest, the current box office results are even better than Du Zhengde initially expected. Through the comments of various parties, he can also see that the good part is all the special effects.

　　 It's a pity, I can't get back to heaven.

　　 He doesn't feel sorry for Xinmo Media's loss of investment, and the bad cooperative relationship between the two sides made him wish that the company would collapse.

　　 But what's your future?

The invitations for the directors of two commercial films that were currently negotiating were all suspended after the box office results of "Magic Shadow Wars" came out; even if it was another low-cost feature film, Du Zhengde also heard that the other party came in contact with each other. The new director seems to be making a selection.

　　 This thing is really nonsense.

　　 The original thriving career was hit hard, breaking his spine.

　　 This matter made Du Zhengde very frustrated.

　　 When he was at a loss on the road, he received a call from Fan Zhe.

　　 After working together once and having a meal in private, the two of them became a little affectionate, and occasionally interacted on social networks.

　　 On the phone, Fan Zhe comforted him, and he complained to Fan Zhe about the wicked behavior of "New Mo Media".

　　 Fan Zhe listened patiently to his complaint, and occasionally echoed a few sentences.

At the end, he finally offered his invitation: "Director Du, after the last cooperation, I think you are still very capable. On my side, I plan to do a TV drama project. How about it? Do you want to help me? ?"

　　 "TV series..." Du Zhengde still hesitated.

　　 Although it is in the low period of his career, Du Zhengde still has doubts.

　　 Back to the TV circle, next time I want to fight on the big screen, I don’t know when.

　　 What's more, ‘Dimensional Entertainment’ is just a company that does animation and special effects, and is engaged in film and television dramas? How did Du Zhengde hear about this matter?

　　 Fan Zhe seemed to have guessed his doubts, and added a sentence afterwards: "It's a magical drama, the game IP is adapted..."

　　 After saying this, Fan Zhe added: "Invest two hundred million."

　　 "Two hundred million? TV series?" Du Zhengde was a little surprised. The investment in this TV series is even higher than that of "Magic Shadow War"!

　　 In recent years, the production scale of many domestic TV dramas has become larger and larger as the market changes.

The "Langya List", which is both popular in word of mouth and achievements, reportedly exceeded 100 million in investment costs at that time; such as the recent popular "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "Yanxi Palace Strategy", the investment scale is claimed to have reached 300 million. The scale.

　　 These data are pretty scary, and the investment is much higher than that of some so-called "big cost" movies~www.ltnovel.com~Du Zhengde has never directed a drama or movie of this level.

　　 His heart moved.

　　 "Can you tell me more specifically?"

　　 "The IP of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms", I wonder if you have heard of it?"

　　 "I have heard of it, and I have played it."

　　 "Oh, that's great, it's right." Fan Zhe also didn't expect that Du Zhengde, a man in his forties, had actually played this game.

　　 It’s just a count. When "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" became popular, it was about 13 or 4 years ago. At that time, Du Zhengde was 30 years old, and it was not impossible to play it.

　　 Fan Zhe was a little surprised at this, but he was more delighted.

　　 If the director has also played this series of games, then it will obviously be of great help to the change and creation of the TV series.

　　 "70% of the investment will be put on special effects. We do the special effects ourselves. You should trust our level in this respect."

　　 "That's for sure." Du Zhengde has already begun to seriously consider the possibility of participating in this project in his heart.

　　 "The remaining, about 50 million or so of funds can be put on the shooting. You will have the right to suggest the selection of actors, and I will definitely discuss it with you carefully."

　　 "Just the right to suggest? Don't you?" He was frightened by Xinmo Media and Xiao Xianrou.

　　 "Don't worry, we definitely can't mess around like Xinmo Media, but with a large amount of investment, we have to be somewhat certain. You will definitely have a lot of right to speak. You can rest assured."

"I will think about it."

　　——

　　 There was a wave of new releases, and all the manuscripts were released. It is estimated that there will be more than ten chapters.
