The smoke of gunpowder dissipated on May 1st, and the box office victory of the eight movies has been divided.
As of press time, although the cumulative box office of "Spending Money at the End of the Road" is more than 10 million less than that of "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team", the film is firmly in the first place, and the total box office is just around the corner, and it is the biggest winner of May Day, although the movie has a bad reputation, the box office forecast given by the professional platform is as high as 810 million.
What kind of concept is this? According to the 37.55% ratio, when the box office reaches 800 million, the filmmaker's share will be as high as 300 million. It is rumored in the industry that the production cost of "There is No Thing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" is 30 million, the two movies belong to the same magnitude, and "Hot Pot" has Yang Mi in charge, and the salary is not low, it is conservatively estimated that the production cost of "Spending Money at the End of the Road" will not exceed 30 million, plus 20 million marketing expenses (this movie is basically short video marketing except for the premiere), and the final film is expected to make a profit of 250 million.
250 million, which is an astronomical amount for ordinary people, if you earn so much money, you can travel around the world completely lying down. As a hilarious comedy, with the plot framework of "people have to spend their money before they die", as well as the starring lineup composed of Jia Bing, Xiao Shenyang, Yu Yang, and Dong Baobao, "Spending Money at the End of the Road" is definitely a first-class high-quality project.
But the downturn in the film market is a fact, the investment risk is high, the rate of return is low, and the payment cycle is long, even if it is a "small business" of tens of millions in the eyes of capital tycoons, it also requires filmmakers to show the courage to gamble, and a number of companies to jointly fund a reasonable completion. As a result, at the same time as the box office success, the capital battle behind "Spending Money at the End of the Road" also surfaced.
Behind the scenes, he was the biggest winner
Although he is also a well-known comedian, Yingda, who is behind the scenes of "Spending Money at the End of the Road", does not seem to be addicted to drama, he does not appear in the movie screen, except for his name.
Yingda is the director of the film and the biggest winner. "The End of the Road" has 4 producers and 22 co-producers, and Yingda's "Beijing Chaole Infinite Culture Communication Co., Ltd." ranks first in the list of producers, there is no doubt that Yingda is the person with the highest share and the operator of the entire movie.
It should be noted that Chaole not only participates in the production of the film through the two companies, but also takes a share of the distribution process and occupies a place in the joint distribution. This is not counting, the joint production of "Tianjin Yuanyi Culture Technology", which ranks sixth, is also inextricably linked with Chaole.
In front of the capital, the actor stepped aside
Yingda's Chaole Infinity led the project, ranking first in the list of producers, there is no doubt that the four production companies occupy the largest share, and the box office dividends are also the most, and the next three are big capitals in the film industry. In addition to Happy Twist itself being a big label in the comedy track, the director of "Spending Money at the End of the Road" Wu Rina is also signed under Happy Twist, so it is impossible for this project to get rid of Happy Twist, and the director is the core of the movie, so Happy Twist won the fourth seat.
As for the middle two, it can only be said that it is the power of capital, needless to say, China Film, the largest "Zhongzitou" film company, and Maoyan, which ranks second, not only participates in the production, but also is responsible for film distribution, which is equivalent to double insurance for the film, President Bona said in the winter a few years ago that "filmmakers want to work for the Internet" has been fulfilled again and again, and the leading actors of "Spending Money at the End of the Road" are not because they don't want to participate in the investment to make more money, but they can't squeeze in, and the actors can only stand aside in front of the capital.
Jia Bing cried and fainted in the toilet
"Crying and fainting in the toilet" is just a metaphor, but if I were Jia Bing, I would definitely regret it when I saw the rising box office.
As mentioned earlier, visionary actors, participating in a project like "Spending Money at the End of the Road", must try their best to get some share, after all, there are no first-line stars in the movie starring, everyone's salary is not high, and if you can get box office dividends, it will definitely be a lot more than the salary, and even if you don't invest real money, it's good to convert the salary into shares.
So Shanlihong Culture in the list of co-producers is the company of Xiaoshenyang, but it ranks seventh in the list of co-producers, and it doesn't really cost much to get it to him.
This account is not difficult to calculate, and Jia Bing also understands that the "Qi Delong Dongqiang" and "Shenyang Bingtuantuan" in the co-producers are both companies held by Jia Bing, and Jia Bing can also get a piece of the pie through these two. But the problem is that "Qi Delong Dongqiang" is ranked fourth, and "Shenyang Bingtuantuan" is ranked tenth, and Jia Bing does not get much more money than Xiao Shenyang.
He is the male number one, the core of the movie, and takes on most of the laughs, everyone who has watched the movie knows that Jia Youwei's role is almost tailor-made for Jia Bing, and the character image, personality and funny way can only be completed by Jia Bing, as a member of the film's "start-up team", Jia Bing is fully qualified to put his company in the list of producers, at least after Happy Twist, to get more shares.
Today's result is nothing more than two possibilities, one is that Jia Bing is arrogant and thinks that it is almost enough, and does not fight for his own interests;
In the face of today's rising box office, no matter what the possibility is, Jia Bing will regret not being at the beginning, he missed the opportunity to share more box office profits.
