Chapter 60: The Nameless One (Ch 60)

“The release date of Nobody has been confirmed?!”

Sitting in the car, Qi Jia was still thinking about the news that Chen Yuwen told him.

I didn’t expect Director Rao and the others to move so quickly. Qi Jia felt like it had just finished filming not long ago.

After a brief moment of trance, he couldn’t help but start to guess.

How much will this movie earn at the box office? Will it lose money or make a ton of money?

Based on what he has learned in the past few days,

First, according to the “Guiding Opinions of the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Industry and Commerce on Adjusting the Proportion of Domestic Film Revenue Sharing”,

In principle, the producer’s share of a movie’s box office revenue should not be less than 43%, while the cinema’s share should generally not exceed 50%.

But in reality, after the film is released, 3.3% of the total box office must be paid as tax, and another 5% must be paid as a special fund for the film industry.

This part is fixed, which means that even if your box office revenue is only 300 yuan, you still have to pay 24.9 yuan.

Then, of the remaining 91.7%, cinemas account for 50% and theater chains account for 7%.

After deducting the above totals and the issuer’s agency fees,

The producer will probably only get 32%-40% in the end.

This includes the actors’ salaries, crew expenses, post-production expenses, and other expenses, as well as dividends to investors.

Before the audition, he heard Director Zhao say that the investment cost of Nobody was 30 million.

According to this investment amount, the box office of “Nobody” must reach at least 150 million.

The investor can be considered to have made some profit. If the amount is lower than this, it basically means a loss.

It seems difficult to achieve this box office.

But Qi Jia believes that with the quality of Nobody and the reputation of Director Rao,

Although the movie does not have any popular stars, as long as the promotion and marketing are not bad,

So achieving this box office should not be a big problem.

After the movie has gained good reputation, and everyone recommends it to each other, the box office may break several small goals.

When he arrived at Jiaxing Media, Qi Jia went straight to Chen Yuwen’s office.

When Chen Yuwen saw him arrive, he looked impatient. He closed the door and quickly pulled the curtains.

“Sister, don’t be anxious, calm down first. This is in the company, and if I yell, it will have a bad impact.”

“What are you yelling about! Sit down now, I want to tell you about the release date of Nobody.”

“What does the release date have to do with me? Don’t we have to go out on the roadshow after the release?”

When Qi Jia heard that it was about the release date, he immediately became serious, but at the same time he was a little confused.

He only knew that after a movie is released, the creative team would select several cities across the country as roadshow locations.

It can not only promote the movie, but also give the audience a surprise of meeting their idol.

Because the roadshow cities and theaters will not be announced in advance.

If the audience wants to meet their idols, they either have to rely on luck or watch the show again and again.

This can not only preserve a sense of mystery and increase box office, but also avoid crowds and accidents.

But I haven’t heard that the roadshow will start once the release date is set?

“You forgot that when you signed the contract, one of the clauses was that when you have a work to be released,

Given your status as a third-tier artist, does the company need to invest 200,000 yuan to help you with packaging and promotion? “

After Chen Yuwen finished speaking, Qi Jia thought about it carefully and found that there was indeed such a thing in his memory.

But at that time, he was immersed in the great joy of signing the contract, and he forgot it after reading it.

Now that Chen Yuwen mentioned it, he remembered it and frowned and asked,

“Sister, isn’t 200,000 yuan too little?”

This is not because he doesn’t know what is good for him, although many families nowadays don’t even have 200,000 yuan in savings.

However, 200,000 yuan is really too little for advertising expenses.

Now is the new media era. If you want traffic, you have to spend money.

With this little money, Qi Jia estimated that at most he could just find a few big Vs on the Internet to post a few promotional messages and that would be it.

“Well, so I went to Mr. Zhao and asked him to increase your publicity expenses this time.”

Chen Yuwen had obviously anticipated Qi Jia’s reaction. After he finished speaking, he continued without waiting for Qi Jia to ask any questions.

“However, Mr. Zhao said he wanted to hold a meeting to discuss this, and he specifically asked you to attend.”

Qi Jia was surprised to hear that he was asked to attend the meeting, but he didn’t care too much.

After all, as the leading actor of the movie, the leader might want to hear his opinion.

But what made him curious was how much amount Chen Yuwen applied for?

Generally speaking, if it is not too outrageous, as the head of the branch, Mr. Zhao can just nod and sign.

But now we have to hold a meeting to discuss it, which proves that the amount must be not small.

“So sister, how much money did you apply for this time?” Qi Jia asked curiously.

Chen Yuwen calmly stretched out a finger and waved it in front of him.

“Ten million! Sister, you are so good to me. I will follow you for the rest of my life.”

“I know you’ve been craving my body for a long time. I’m going home with you tonight.”

Qi Jia felt warm inside. Chen Yuwen was so kind to him.

It’s not impossible for me to satisfy some of her strange little hobbies.

“What the hell do you want? One million! Ten million? I think you look like a ten millionaire!”

Chen Yuwen retracted his index finger, extended his middle finger instead, and made a friendly gesture to Qi Jia.

“One million, that’s not a small amount.”

Qi Jia is a person who is easily satisfied. In short, he just leaves the things he doesn’t understand to Chen Yuwen.

He then took out his cell phone and spoke to Chen Yuwen.

“Sister, I just happen to have something to discuss with you.”

“Why, do you want to ask me whether I want to use candles or whips tonight?”

Chen Yuwen raised his eyebrows and gave him an ambiguous smile.

“I received a script today. It was recommended to me by Xu Zheng. I read it and thought it was very good. I want to take it.”

“Oh, Xu Zheng recommended it to you! Let me take a look.”

Hearing that it was serious business, Chen Yuwen stopped joking and spoke seriously.

Qi Jia forwarded the script to Chen Yuwen’s mobile phone and told her the role she would play, the remuneration and the shooting time.

Chen Yuwen nodded and quickly scanned the script.

Then focus on the information about the director, screenwriter and investors.

As a professional agent, she has all the information about famous directors, screenwriters and investors in her head.

So after reading it, she quickly concluded that this script would make a lot of money!

So, Qi Jia immediately gave Xu Zheng a reply.

Xu Zheng was also very happy when he heard that Qi Jia agreed. After all, if this matter was accomplished, it would be a good thing for him as he could do favors for both sides at the same time.

After hanging up the phone, he quickly sent the WeChat business card of the producer of the movie “Better Days”.

After Qi Jia applied for friend status, the other party quickly accepted it.

The producer’s name was Qiu Mingyu, and Xu Zheng had obviously informed him in advance.

So although Qi Jia is a newcomer, his attitude is very friendly.

After a brief exchange, the two sides agreed to go to Beijing for an audition this Wednesday, which is the day after tomorrow.

After finishing the chat, Chen Yuwen leaned back in his chair and looked at Qi Jia thoughtfully.

The last time she visited him, Xu Zheng had said something nice to Qi Jia, which had already made her feel unbelievable.

This time, I even took the initiative to introduce resources to him.

She didn’t expect that this boy would have such a good relationship with Xu Zheng.

“Qi Jia, maybe we can raise the amount of publicity fees later.”
