April 10 is the last day of the movie's theatrical release, and the final box office is fixed at 3.46 billion, without any suspense, it will win the 2024 Spring Festival box office champion and the number of moviegoers, breaking the box office record of the Spring Festival feature film schedule in Chinese film history, and ranking 14th in the current box office in Chinese film history.
If you add it to the box office of "Hello, Li Huanying", the cumulative box office of Jia Ling's two directorial and starring works has reached 8.407 billion, which is the highest cumulative box office female director in China, counting male directors, Jia Ling can also rank in the top 10, ranking eighth, surpassing Guan Hu, Wu Jing, Han Han and others, the pride of proper Chinese female directors!
The distribution process of the film is that the theater sells tickets through the ticketing system, and then the box office is summarized to each theater, and after the movie is released, the theater chain will complete all the box office settlements and distribute them to the film producers in proportion, and then the major producers will share the box office profits according to the previously agreed proportion.
After the release of "Hot and Hot", the next step is for the major producers to share the victory. So, how much money can Jia Ling get?
Previously, some financial media reported that Jia Ling would at least share 200 million through "Hot and Hot", but now it seems that this number may be less.
Judging from the list of producers, Jia Ling's Big Bowl Entertainment is not the first producer, only ranked fifth, but it is not an exaggeration to say that "Hot and Hot" is Jia Ling's behind-the-scenes operation, generally speaking, Jia Ling's remuneration and profit sharing through "Hot and Hot" are divided into four parts.
The first is the screenwriter and director fee. It is rumored in the industry that the production cost of "Hot and Hot" is more than 300 million, and in terms of the quality of the finished film, the movie has no action, no special effects, and no big scenes, it is hard to believe that it will spend so much money, but this is how the current film industry plays.
Referring to the details of the production expenses disclosed by Huanxi Media before, a film is divided into project planning and development, actors' salaries, director fees, other main creative staff costs, production expenses, production fees and other expenses, the production cost of "Mr. Red Carpet" is 260 million, so it is not an exaggeration for "Hot and Hot" to exceed 300 million.
Ning Hao took away 26 million director fees through "Mr. Red Carpet", and the film production fees were all funded by Huanxi Media, so the purpose of "Hot and Hot" to make Xinli Media stand on the first producer is obvious.
For Jia Ling, winning the project of "Hot and Hot" can be described as a huge profit, most of the production cost of the film can be funded by the top four Xinli Media, China Film, Ali and China Literature, for Jia Ling, the director fee will not be less than Ning Hao's 26 million, and the project planning and development (mainly script creation) will take 39 million, and the screenwriter is led by Jia Ling, plus her company's screenwriting team, so only the screenwriting and director fee, Jia Ling will pocket 66 million.
The second is the remuneration of the leading actors. With "Hello, Li Huanying" in front, Jia Ling is definitely the darling of capital trust, her value and box office appeal completely surpass Ning Hao and Andy Lau, "Mr. Red Carpet" Andy Lau's salary is 60 million, according to this number, Jia Ling will only be high and not low, we conservatively estimate that Jia Ling's salary is also set at 60 million. This means that when "Hot and Hot" was completed, Jia Ling had already taken away 66 million screenwriter/director fees and 60 million actors' salaries through several other large investors, and the total of these two parts was as high as 126 million.
The third is the sharing of actors' salaries. Jia Ling's ambitions can be seen everywhere in "Hot and Hot", for example, the restaurant "Big Bowl Fish Music" that appears in it corresponds to Jia Ling's big bowl of entertainment, Jia Ling also strives to arrange its actors into the movie, as we all know, Zhang Xiaofei is the "master of big bowl entertainment", with Zhang Xiaofei's status today, her salary will not be less than 30 million, generally speaking, the proportion of account sharing between artists and brokerage companies is four or six or three seven, through Zhang Xiaofei, Jia Ling's big bowl entertainment is full of vitality.
In addition, Bu Yu, Zhu Tianfu, Liu Honglu and other actors are also artists under Big Bowl Entertainment, and it is roughly estimated that the profit obtained by Big Bowl Entertainment through other actors will not be less than 20 million.
The fourth is box office profit-sharing. The total box office of "Hot and Hot" is 3.46 billion, and the filmmaker's share of the account reaches 1.230 billion, even if the production and publicity costs of 400 million are removed, the final profit of the film will reach 830 million. There are 8 main producers of the movie, although Big Bowl Entertainment is only ranked fifth, but as the main creator, Jia Ling should occupy a larger dividend ratio, conservatively calculated at 15%, and the box office profit of 830 million can also be divided into 120 million. Then with the profits of the first three points, Jia Ling can earn 266 million through "Hot and Hot".
In addition to making huge profits, Jia Ling is also the hottest star in the current film industry, being scrambled by major capitals, her plan has been scheduled for "Dangerous Holiday" in 2030 and her partner Fan Wei and Lin Chiling's "Two Dollars of Money is Too Embarrassing", and the second partner Yang Zi's "Turning Thoughts and Flowers" has already been filmed, looking forward to this new work, and I wish Jia Ling's future and money journey are getting more and more broad.
