After arranging these matters, Xing Baohua left the software park and went directly to Master Zhou's place.
After get off work, it's time to enjoy life.
Back at our little home, Master Zhou was cooking.
Seeing that Xing Baohua came back so early, he smiled and said that he thought Xing Baohua was too busy to come back today.
"Indeed, I've declined many invitations for now. Socializing with people is always mentally taxing. You have to figure out what they're saying and then have to think of things you don't mean. It's exhausting!"
As Xing Baohua spoke, he sat on the sofa, picked up a small bunch of grapes from the coffee table, and ate a few himself.
While preparing food in the kitchen, Master Zhou said, "Director Xu called me today and said that you invested in his movie, and he'll fully cooperate with you on how to make money."
Hearing this, Xing Baohua found it amusing. This Tsui Hark, his movies are huge hits all over the world. Not only does Xing Baohua make money, but he also benefits from the fame!
If the Hong Kong film company and the US distribution company cooperate, the Hong Kong film company usually gets a 20-40% cut.
The lion's share must have gone to overseas companies.
However, Tsui Hark is right. He invested in this film, so there's no need for a profit-sharing model. Whatever the box office revenue, after deducting other operating and promotional costs, is all his profit.
At this point, Xing Baohua had to seriously consider how to cooperate with some film and television companies in Hong Kong and China.
I own a company; I don't do favors for others.
Columbia Pictures needs to make money too; a 20-40% cut is the rule, they can't just give everyone a high price!
Is Xing Baohua really such a fool who just throws money away? How many films from Oriental Cinema have high box office numbers in overseas markets?
Releasing one film every two or three years is already a great achievement.
Furthermore, promotion and distribution in the United States are extremely costly. Often, the box office revenue of Eastern films doesn't even cover the promotion and distribution expenses.
So, the agreements signed with film and television companies in Hong Kong and mainland China will follow a tiered performance-based model.
What is the revenue sharing for box office revenue below one million? What is the revenue sharing for box office revenue of five million?
If the North American box office reaches over 100 million, Xing Baohua is willing to pay a high price, and he would be very happy.
This shows that films from our Eastern country have successfully gone global.
It's a pity! Only a handful of directors have achieved success. It takes several years to produce a film that grosses over 100 million.
Those that reach 30 to 40 million are truly remarkable. Most films only gross around a million.
However, the electronic version can be bought out or split in revenue.
"I'll call him later and invite him for tea. After this movie is finished, he can come to Columbia to help me film a movie."
"What movie are we filming? Am I in it?" Master Zhou asked excitedly.
