Chapter 114: Inner face
"The Matrix" is different from "The Sixth Sense" as a buyout film, it is a share-based movie.
Shared movies - As the name suggests, it is the distribution of box office revenue for a blockbuster film in other countries according to the share.
For example, when American blockbusters are screened in China (the copyright is not sold to China to increase its income) he will introduce them to China in the form of sharing accounts. Referring to the internationally accepted box office split form, the proportion of income sharing among all parties imported blockbusters is 35%, the publisher is 17%, and the screener is 48%. In order to quickly occupy the Chinese market, the producers who imported blockbusters also bear the publicity costs.
When faced with the Chinese-style accounting sharing model, foreign publishers are even more out of temper.
The box office of 100 yuan, 5 yuan is paid to the movie fund, 3.3 yuan is taxed, the theater takes 47 yuan, the theater gets 13 yuan, and the producer and publisher get the remaining 31.7 yuan. So how can I divide this 31.7? China Film waved its hand and took 17 yuan, and the rest is rewarded to you.
The remaining box office still needs to be divided into three companies: Matrix, Warner and DreamWorks.
In the North American box office, the share share of the publisher is as high as 55%. At the same time, the marketing expenses and copy production expenses that are usually borne by the publisher abroad are also borne by the producers in China. The profits taken away by the American producers and publishers in the end are only tens of millions of dollars, and the larger part is divided by Chinese publishers and theaters.
Compared with the two items, no wonder Hollywood does not attach importance to the Chinese market. They also urgently want to open up the Chinese mainland market. Unfortunately, China is not South Korea, and threats and coercion are useless, so they can only slowly take action. Therefore, this time, joining the WTO has become the focus of attention from many parties.
Regarding "The Matrix", Chen Tian only focused on practicing the anti-pirated program, and did not take other things seriously. He was more concerned about "Infernal Affairs".
In this era, Hong Kong has only been back for two years, and the regulations on co-production of China-Hong Kong films have not yet been revealed. Therefore, in order to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to be released in the mainland, all the funds for this film come from the mainland, that is, Chen Tiandu instructed Kong Yiji to reorganize the "Matrix-Wushuang Film and Television Company".
Every step of filming is from the script being submitted for review to the expected release threshold, but nothing is left off.
As soon as he got off the plane, he was picked up by Kong Yiji in a low-key manner. "Old Chen, let me tell you something. Han Sangen was promoted at the beginning of the year, do you know?"
"Hmph~~" Chen Tian hummed from his nostrils, leaning against the back seat of the car, and was sleepy, and he said with half-squinted eyes: "What a great official? I thought he was already the biggest, and there was no way to be promoted."
"Hey, when did you get old calendar? They are now the second-in-command of China Film and are mainly engaged in the production process of the group. It is our current management." Kong Yiji explained: "This time the introduction of "The Matrix" was also his first move. It is said that China Film and Television is hooking up with China International Trust and Investment Company. These two are one with power, relationships, and the other with money and capital. They must be a big deal. A few days ago, I asked me if it is possible to deal with you."
"Oh?" Chen Tian thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of the reason, so he lay down and took a rest.
"Hey, why didn't you continue asking?"
“Hmph~~”
Kong Yiji turned around and saw Chen Tian shut his eyes and went to bed, "Hey, don't sleep, I said, Mr. Han San wants to introduce you to the Directors Association, and you come back and call him, will you call him?"
Chen Tian heard this before he opened his eyes slightly and said, "Come on the phone."
Han Sanpin is also a famous Chinese director who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy's directorship and is a serious Chinese director. His representative works include "Yunshui Yao" and "Jing Ke Assassination of Qin King". In May 1999, China Film Group Corporation was established, and Han Sanpin became the vice chairman and deputy general manager of the group, focusing on the production process of the group. His task is to allow China Film to reorganize business, asset integration and reform the property rights system in accordance with the development requirements of the enterprise system.
China has been an official country for thousands of years, which has led to the lack of confidence in facing the government even if it is rich, especially his next movie is still tempted by others, because in the future he is familiar with, "Infernal Affairs" was stuck and approved in the mainland. Now, we need to make a good relationship.
It is too exaggeration for Hollywood media to say that he is a hermit.
In fact, Chen Tian is not against socializing, otherwise he would not have been to the bar with Vin Diesel and others. He just thought more about it after becoming famous, and he really didn't rely too much on others when he held the "future" and the Americans were simply party animals, so he didn't want to participate in too much meaningless socializing.
But now that he has returned to China, "The Matrix" has been storming in science fiction around the world and is quite proud. The media has to praise Chen Tiandu, leading the new trend in the field of science fiction films. What's more, it has given Chen Tiandu the title of a master of science fiction films in China. The media praised the sales of movies that were even more popular, and Chen Tiandu naturally became a hot commodity.
Some social engagements that are avoided will come one after another. People like to add the word "circle" to whatever Chinese people call it.
The entertainment industry was not called this name before. The older generation prefers it to be called the cultural circle, as well as the TV circle, the film circle, and the director circle. A circle is a good proof that everyone likes to join in. If you want to be in the Chinese film circle, you can’t be too independent. You must integrate yourself into it. You can praise me and I and you, and you can only get benefits with harmony.
Chen Tian has already rushed out of this circle and is world-famous, but now he is back, and seems to be walking back. But after all, he is a director and cannot blindly pursue commercial masterpieces. He always wants to make some movies he likes.
In his heart, the status of "Infernal Affairs" is no worse than that of any blockbuster.
Logically speaking, he held a magical weapon in his hand, and Dake held his head up, and acted like "I'm the best in the world" and rushed around in the entertainment industry. Then he was ridiculed by others, and then slapped back in the face with a thunderbolt. Finally, he jumped on his horse and whipped it, pointed out the country, and became the king.
But the fact is that human feelings are like a net, and when they are touched, they will wait for a chance. Without that confidence, you will not be able to get rid of them at all. People carry people in the flower sedan chair. If others respect you one foot, do you have to beat them back with a stern face? People who understand will choose to accept others’ foot and then respect them back.
For example, when I came back to film this time, it is an example.
How old is Mr. Han San? I personally recommend you a junior to the Directors Association. This face must be given. Old Beijingers like to pay attention to personal appearance, but you can't give it to me if you don't give it to me.
"Is it the Third Master? I am Chen Tiandu."
A very kind voice came from the opposite side and said with a smile: "It's Tiandu, this is back home, right? When did it arrive, there is no information. It's better to go and pick it up in advance if you report it."
"Oh, don't let me get rid of it. I'm not going to be like going home this time. You are a senior. If I come to pick me up in person, I'm afraid I'll be so scared that I'll even walk with my legs."
"Haha, it should be. After all, you are also winning glory for the country. From "The Sixth Sense" to "The Matrix", it has become famous all over the world. Everyone sees your efforts, and now it is praised in China. It is definitely not bad to be released in mainland China. There are only hundreds of directors in China that can make a splash."
"I really don't dare to take this as a stinky foot. I just praised the foreigners and took advantage of it. There are so many Chinese masters, so it's not my turn."
