In the next few days, Hollywood has two indicators that continue to grow.
A continuously growing number of female stars who have publicly accused Harvey of sexual assault.
When the "Zombie-Master" box office broke the 100 million mark, Harvey's female stars were publicly accused of breaking through ten people, and a total of 12 actresses came forward to denounce the injuries they had suffered.
Almost half of the 12 actresses are because someone anonymously blew Harvey ’s black material online, mentioning that Harvey once unwritten rules had these actresses. dimension.
This thing seems a bit cool in the world. Harvey did do a lot of fucking, and has not been a girl star, but most of the actresses are voluntary, or half-push. Yes, but in order to preserve their reputation, they all put the responsibility on Harvey. For Harvey, it is now that the debt is not overwhelming, and the lice are too much to hurt, but for these actresses, they are not Willing to ruin his future because of Harvey's things.
Another growing number is the total box office of "Zombiw-Master".
First Day180.5 million USD, 33 million USD the next day, 100% attendance, three days, Cinema were convinced by the strong attraction of "Zombie-Master", the amount of film continues to increase by 20%, plus Browsing The rumors of peacekeeping this film have continued to increase the popularity of this film, so the attendance rate of three days remains unchanged, which is still an astonishing 100%, and the total box office has exceeded 41 million.
On the fourth day, Cinema continued to squeeze the show, giving the film a higher rehearsal rate. The rehearsal rate increased by about 10% on the basis of the previous day, but the attendance rate decreased slightly, and the overall rate remained at 95 %, The total box office is 42 million USD, four days after the release, the box office broke the 100 million USD mark, reaching 134 million USD.
There is also good news that is expected to improve the box office. Coca-Cola and McDonald's have obtained the image use authorization of the new version of China Zombie(s) in "Plant Wars Zombie(s)Online", and have begun preparations for listing. Soon, North American market will appear Coca-Cola China cartoon Zombie(s) image, and McDonald's packages and toys, which will inevitably improve the movie's box office to a certain extent!
Lucas estimated that the movie ’s box office might break the 300 million USD mark, which subverted his understanding of the entire film industry, and what he did not even imagine was the DVD industry ’s The desire for this movie has been found by several DVD distribution companies. He hopes to get the DVD distribution rights in North America from his hands. According to estimates, if the box office can exceed 300 million USD, then in the next year Within a period of time, the total output value of DVD should also be able to exceed 100 million USD.
Lucas carefully chose one of the most reliable DVD distributors and signed a 5: 2: 3 tripartite cooperation agreement. The DVD distribution rights in North America are authorized by Muye Pictures to Lucas, and Muye Pictures gets all DVD distributions Of the remaining 50%, Lucas took 20% and DVD distributors took 30%.
It seems that Lucas has suffered a little, but in fact he is the most profitable one. Li Mu, as the copyright owner, also pays the copyright cost when taking the copyright, and DVD distributors not only have to bear the production of DVD distribution, The promotion and sales work also has to bear the risk of loss in production costs, and Lucas **** does not have to pay. Just sit down and sign a sign on the three-party agreement, and 20% of the net profit will come.
300 million USD box office space in the North American market, and 100 million USDDVD distribution space, this data has made Hollywood unable to vomit, eye looks at a 85-year-old Hong Kong movie made so much money, many Hollywood publishers began to His eyes were on Hong Kong.
The success of "Zombie-Master" made Hollywood realize that in fact there is no obvious peak and trough period in the North American film market. It seems that Christmas and summer stalls are box office peaks, but this does not mean 3. How bad the box office market is in April, May, September, October, and November. The key is to have a movie that can mobilize the audience to pay.
In order to protect income, the Hollywood blockbuster basically focuses on Christmas and summer. This has caused the embarrassment of rare productions in other time periods. although Hollywood was reluctant to move the productions to these time periods. However, during this period of time, it is possible to introduce some overseas high-quality movies at low cost overseas, and then use them to tap the box office potential of non-popular dates.
After all, Cinema is not a popsicle stand, the latter is full of streets in summer, and disappears without a trace after summer, but Cinema is in the peak or trough period, every theater, every cinema and every A seat is placed there, even if it is vacant during the trough period, it is impossible to remove it or use it for other purposes.
"Zombie-Master" is such a coincidence. Anyway, there are no movies coming out to compete, and there are not many people fighting for Cinema resources, so instead it gave "Zombie-Master" the hardware basis for the box office explosion.
Hollywood also took a practical course full of dry goods from this matter. In this case, you may wish to introduce "Zombie-Master" like Lucas and then cooperate with Muye Science and Technology to promote it. Copyright of overseas ready-made movies.
A few days ago, the Hong Kong film industry still cursed Li Mu's for low-price sweeping routines. He took away all the copyrights of Zombie(s) films in Hong Kong to make a lot of money. As a result, the money given to the Hong Kong film and television company, even the percentage he earned None at all. Simply speaking from this ratio, Li Mu is really the most treacherous profiteer in the world in their eyes.
But as the box office of "Zombie-Master" is getting higher and higher in North America, it has achieved great success in just a few days, and the Hong Kong film industry has also ushered in a new spring.
Hollywood distributors and film and television companies have found various film and television companies in Hong Kong and actively sought cooperation, hoping to reach copyright cooperation with them. The mode of cooperation is that they choose the appropriate Hong Kong film and then discuss with the copyright party. The buyout price of the North American screening rights, a buyout agreement is signed, and then the Hollywood distributor will get the film to be released in North America.
Originally, Hollywood may not be able to buy several copyrights from Hong Kong in a year, but now, Hollywood is interested in more than 50 Hong Kong movies, and many of these Hong Kong film companies have already cooperated with Hollywood. The film and television company reached a cooperation agreement. Because of the success of "Zombie-Master", the copyright price of Hong Kong movies has increased more than several times over the past.
The most representative of these is the "Infernal Affairs" released in Hong Kong last year. This film was originally called the rescue work of Hong Kong films, and the quality is very high. It is only a rare high-quality work in recent years. However, such a movie, in the eyes of Huanya before, did not have a chance to be released in North America, but this time, several movie companies of Hollywood came to fight for the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" movie, and the price was once frowned to 800. Ten thousand USD, you know, the total box office of "Infernal Affairs" in Hong Kong is only 55 million Hong Kong dollars, which is around 7 million USD.
Huanya had been on Li Mu's once before, and at a price of about 100,000 USD, he sold the copyright of a bunch of Zombie(s) films including "Zombie(s)" to Li Mu. As a result, after Li Mu was taken, the optical TV broadcast The rights have been sold for hundreds of millions, and now the North American box office has converted to more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. In contrast, Huanya is really lost to her grandma's family.
So this time Hollywood is going to buy the copyright of "Infernal Affairs". When the price was 8 million USD, Huanya hesitated instead.
In the eyes of Huanya, " Infernal Affairs "No matter the production cost, production scale and star lineup are better than" Zombie(s) "Mr." is much more powerful, and the quality and depth of the movie are quite different. If " Zombie(s) "Sir" can buy hundreds of millions of box office in North America, " Infernal Affairs 》 This kind of phenomenon-level works will not be worth another 100 million USD Is there hope? If the box office is 100 million USD Calculated, only 25% is divided, there are 25 million USD Credit, than 8 million USD It's much better to sell one at a time.
So, Huanya offered to Hollywood, the North American distribution right of "Infernal Affairs" was 30% of the box office account, with a guaranteed income of 10 million USD.
That is to say, anyone who wants to get the North American distribution rights of "Infernal Affairs" must first give Huanya a guarantee of 10 million USD, and then take this movie to be released in North America. If the box office revenue after the release reaches 33.33 million USD, according to the 30% split ratio, it is exactly equal to the 10 million guarantee amount required by Huanya. If the total box office is less than 33.33 million USD, Huanya will not refund a dime, and the loss will need to be issued. Party shall bear its own responsibility.
If the total box office exceeds 33.33 million USD, the issuer will also replenish the additional share of income to Huanya. For example, if the box office eventually reaches 100 million USD, at a rate of 30%, Huanya will split 30 million USD, in addition to the already paid Ten million USD guarantee, the issuer must pay 20 million USD to Huanya.
The reason why Huanya set such cooperation conditions is based on the successful precedent of "Mr. Zombie(s)", but the people of Hollywood are not stupid at all. They know why "Zombie-Master" is so successful, the most important The reason is that the explosive game of "Plant Wars Zombie(s)Online" is supported, plus the strong promotion ability of Muye Science and Technology, the support of Muying ticketing system, the huge concession of Li Mu to Cinema, and the various Li Mu through Muying ticketing system Kinds of promotions.
Li Mu has so many resources as a success factor, only to take "Zombie-Master" up, but on the other hand, does "Infernal Affairs" have these resources?
Of course the answer is no.
Therefore, 8 million USD one hammer trading is the highest quotation that Hollywood can give Huanya. No Hollywood company is willing to give Huanya a guaranteed share, which makes Huanya very uncomfortable, but still insists on his own price.
Huanya ’s ambitions caused the publishers of Hollywood to retreat. They were still fighting for the North American distribution rights of the film one second before, and they announced their withdrawal from the competition the next second, and then targeted To other Hong Kong movies.
Huanya thought that this was the joint price reduction practice of several Hollywood companies. It was particularly tough at first, but after seeing all these companies gone, there was no news. This made me anxious, and then went back to these companies. Expressed his willingness to make certain concessions on the original guaranteed amount and the share ratio. Previously, it was divided into 30% guaranteed 10 million USD, now it is divided into 25% guaranteed 8 million USD.
Several companies of Hollywood still do not accept it.
The negotiator of one of the companies said to person in charge of Huanya: "If you can bring Muye Science and Technology in and work together, even if you guarantee 20 million, we are willing, but if there is no Li Mu, we have carefully considered it. The 8 million USD buyout quotations are somewhat irrational. The highest buyout quotation we can give should be around 5 million USD. "
Huanya was depressed all of a sudden. Why did you talk about it and bring it back? One to eight million and one to five million, which is more scary than the stock market crash!
