Chapter 189： big production era
Some people may wonder why many Hollywood movie makers, after entering the new millennium, are so fond of high-investment works.
Almost every year, a large number of projects with an investment cost of more than 100 million or even 200 million are filmed, and several superstars are invited to join at every turn?
Don't they know that high investment is high risk? Are you not afraid of failure?
Of course they know, and even the top executives of various companies who have stepped down because of poor projects don't know how many, but why continue to implement this type of investment policy.
Isn't it more secure to be small and broad? For example, Smart: Ghost Records, and another example, Blair the Witch.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are more works of this type, or are there more works that invest in big movies and make big profits?
Probability and risk-reward ratio may give you the answer.
Isn't the reason why the above-mentioned works became famous and even used as case studies by major film companies because their success is too difficult to replicate?
Blockbusters, on the other hand, are more successful every year.
Besides, you can't imagine that, in fact, the film with an investment cost of between 100 million and 150 million is the safest project, and it is more likely to earn more than twice the profit than films with other levels of cost. If it exceeds this range, whether it is higher or lower, it will bear some kind of risk of loss or unsatisfactory return.哽噺蹓帽奇奇 Novel 蛧|w~w~
In other words, those low-cost, small-production movies are not necessarily risky. Even if they can always make a profit, but the revenue of a normal blockbuster can exceed the revenue of five or six small productions, the market may not be there. Accept the risk of failure, and how do you calculate it?
Anyway, as long as it is a film, there will be investment risks.
Converted to big data, it can be regarded as a probability problem, so why not choose a method in which the risk and investment return ratio is compressed to the lowest level.
That's why the blockbuster era is coming.
Take the bad guys as an example, the massive investment of 100 million US dollars, plus 60 million US dollars of publicity expenses, has also achieved very good market results.
The final box office in North America is 335.2 million US dollars. In the global market, some places have not yet been drawn. So far, the total total is 688.23 million US dollars, and it is still struggling to reach the 700 million mark.
But this kind of box office data is enough to make any film company move. This is especially true for Europa Films, which is already the company's best result since its inception.
And such blockbusters are staged every year.
007: Die Another Day, The Matrix 2: Reloaded, and even Finding Nemo, which is still in theaters, have all achieved market-worthy returns.
The first two may not be as stunning as the bad guys. After all, it is a series of movies, and it eats the support of fans.
But the latter is more prominent. It has only been released for more than half a month, and it has already obtained 600 million in the global market. I believe that over 700 million is not a problem at all, and even 800 million may not be able to stop it.
Let's talk about returns.
Lehman personally participated in the production of Bad Guys in the form of a bonus and a fixed salary, while Mann Studio purely accounted for a part of the investment share.
The three parties jointly assumed the huge risk of production, and correspondingly won huge market benefits.
Just such a work will bring an estimated income of 60 million US dollars to Mann Studio. Of course, this data must be deducted from taxes and various taxes.
Although it has not been calculated in detail, it will not be less than 50 million. This is just a studio, and Lehman can make about 10 million personally.
And after all the movies are released all over the world, the major cinema chains will pay the dividends to Europa Films, and then the final three accounts can be calculated, and then after deducting the original investment of 15 million, the net profit income will be 3,000. More than 5 million US dollars.
Very profitable, isn't it? And he still took the least part, think about Paramount and Europa, these two are the real big ones.
The latter is still a long-term meal ticket. Even if the payment is completed, the offline market will continue to bring benefits. Of course, it is not comparable to the current one, but at least it is better than stability. Disney’s annual company report is so good-looking every year. , inseparable from the huge film library of others. Snow White, which was shot in 198, is still making money as of now.
And the return of this movie is higher than that of no burial alive. After all, the production cost of burial alive is only a few hundred thousand, but it earns tens of millions, but looking at the actual situation, the two are incomparable.
As long as a blockbuster is successful, it is true that several small-production films combined may not be comparable.
Since they are all taking risks, why not take a little more and earn a little more?
High investment, high risk, high reward.
Low investment, high risk, not necessarily high return.
It's you, how do you choose?
This is also the reason why Paramount Pictures is very unhappy that Tom Cruise got such a high share in the Mission: Impossible series, but has to squeeze his nose to cooperate, and it is also the reason why Europa Pictures released some of the proceeds to Lehmann~www. novelhall.com~ is only for the premise of continuing to maintain cooperation.
Interest is what they have in common.
As long as you can make money, anything can be negotiated.
Think about it, a bad guy, although Paramount Pictures and Europa Pictures have not fully disclosed their internal profit figures, as long as you do a little calculation, at least they have gained a net profit of more than 100 million yuan. This is after deducting costs and taxes. The result is actually only higher.
After all, is it reasonable to avoid tax? Everyone knows it. There are too many slapstick operations in large companies, which is not something that an honest person like Lehmann can imagine.
More importantly, the added value of such a successful blockbuster is also very considerable.
Even if the operation of related copyrights is put aside, how should the company calculate the income of the stock price increase because of the good news?
The market value is high, there can be no harm. There are not too many examples of movie companies whose stocks have risen or fallen because of the volatility of the film market.
At least, this time, the shareholders of Paramount Pictures are happy, and so is Shirley Lansing. The fastest update of Qiqi novel https://
Such good results finally blocked the mouths of those people.
Perhaps these potential factors are also the reasons why those film manufacturers insist on investing in big productions. The success of such a project is enough to raise the performance level by a whole lot, and the huge returns in return will also become the company's next production. back.
It's a relatively benign cycle.
After painting in North America, Paramount Pictures, while happy, also remembered to hold a celebration party.
Originally, they were going to hold it when it broke 100 million, but it was rejected by Lehman.
By now, everything is almost settled. Lehman has no excuse to continue to live up to Paramount's goodwill.
