Chapter 1530: 1538

In the twinkling of an eye, the first box office week in October passed.

As expected by the gaomen film team, the documentary "Mount Everest" achieved a reverse decline in the second week of its release from October 1 to October 7. Although it is not high, only 6% of the reverse decline, it undoubtedly proves the reputation and market potential of the documentary again.

In short, in the second week of release, "Mount Everest" received an average of $59000, another $8.21 million, and the cumulative box office reached $15.99 million.

On October 8, in the new box office week, in addition to the IMAX screen, with the support of danilis entertainment, the gaomen film team quickly rolled out 1563 ordinary screens for Mount Everest in North America.

Since the early Gucci mark, danilis entertainment has been cultivating the documentary market. Therefore, for the overall launch of Mount Everest, it is not worried about the commercial performance. On the contrary, it is very confident that after the large-scale launch, the documentary will have better market feedback.

Even, some media have predicted that "Mount Everest" is likely to break through the box office of $100 million and enter the box office Club of $100 million in North America.

From the trend of the previous two weeks, coupled with the spread of ordinary screens, this possibility is not without.

October 9.

It's another Saturday.

Simon woke up early in the morning in a hillside mansion on the Bank of Lake Como in northern Milan, Italy.

In the past week, he was in New York, working among several women with big stomachs. He occasionally talked to Sophia, who was running the four fashion weeks here. When he was teased, Simon "became angry with shame" and wanted to come and clean up the women.

Of course, I'm kidding.

I just don't want to be bound by anything. If I can't go at any time, life will be too boring.

So he flew over.

This autumn's Milan fashion week opened yesterday and is expected to last for exactly one week until next Thursday. Then, it will be the most important and final Paris fashion week.

No way, even if melisandra is already the largest luxury group in the world, the French fashion industry is still better than Italy because of many brands. Let's say fashion week. It's 7 days here and 11 days in Paris.

Of course, even if several core brands are based in Italy, melisandra now belongs to a global enterprise, with its brands all over the world, and France is no exception.

After some discord in Africa, Simon rarely went to France in recent years in order to avoid some moths.

Not this time.

Arrived yesterday afternoon and entertained with Sophia. It was a world of two in the evening. On a new day, there was no work arrangement and complete entertainment.

But it's basically watching shows everywhere.

Simon's pastime made Milan restless.

After all, a super tycoon suddenly appears in the show in Milan. For models, if they are liked, they will rise to the sky step by step. Even the brand itself, many are looking forward to being acquired by melisandra. After all, the current trend of the luxury market is very clear. If old enterprises adhere to the strategy of fighting alone, it is difficult to survive under the industrial trend of globalization. Affiliated with giants is undoubtedly the best choice.

Simon doesn't care.

The main thing is to see the girl.

Although I don't remember how much I slept, girls are like spring flowers, one after another.

Um.

Anyway, Saturday night will once again become Simon's personal time. This time, the theme is high cold beauty.

Failed topics.

Because it was found that none of them was too cold, but Simon was overwhelmed by his enthusiasm.

For example, the next day was disturbed by a "little snake" swimming upstream.

Maria Carla bogono, whose initials are MCB, was once nicknamed "snake spirit" in the circle. At present, she is still a young snake who has just made her debut for two years. She is also the only girl Simon once had an impression on yesterday.

However, considering the six in New York, Simon has no idea of further development.

After breakfast with a group of beauties who got out of bed and finally got colder again, Simon took a private plane to Finland to attend a board meeting of Nokia. He also summarized the third quarter of 1999, and then flew to London in the evening. In the evening, he took shuerxijinna to attend a banquet in Britain.

The next day, he returned to North America.

Arriving in Los Angeles and Hollywood, in addition to the steady progress of various projects, Simon went to work on Tuesday and received another report that surprised him again.

Or about the eight dragons.

After the first round of DHO broadcasting, "Tianlong Babu" was officially put on the blockbuster channel on Monday, October 4.

Then, with this Chinese martial arts TV series, even if the DHO broadcast is completed, it has not cooled down at all. Only in the week from October 4 to October 10, it has created a running income of $3.1 million in blockbuster channel.

$3.1 million, of course, can't be compared with those blockbuster movies.

However, this is a Chinese martial arts TV series that must be popular in North America. It still has no English dubbing and only subtitles.

According to the assessment of blockbuster team, the flow of this project is expected to reach $10 million in the first month. Then, considering the trend that home entertainment channels are longer than cinemas and TV, it is expected that this project will bring at least $30 million in revenue for blockbuster in the next year.

Higher, even 50 million, is not impossible.

Now, things are more fun.

Simon did not want to make money when he invested in this project. The distribution in Asia also proved that the project is far away from returning to the capital. He motioned danilis to buy European and American copyright. Simon didn't have any idea of making money. He just felt that it was a pity that such a good TV play could not be broadcast through many channels.

As for the feedback from North American audiences, anyway, there is a certain foundation of kung fu films here.

Unexpectedly, things will evolve to the current level.

Besides, what is the profit margin of this project?

According to the agreements signed with major guilds, the gross profit of family entertainment channels is calculated with reference to 20%. However, in fact, we all understand that this figure, even if reversed, is not exaggerated.

However, of course, first of all, without considering the production cost of the project itself, only the production cost of video tape / DVD and other carriers and the operating expenses of home entertainment channels.

This means that even according to the conservative revenue forecast of blockbuster of US $30 million and the gross profit level of 80%, Tianlong Babu will bring us $24 million to danilis entertainment only on the blockbuster platform in the next year.

$24 million, after deducting the production cost of $15 million, the profit is $9 million.

Of course, that's not the case.

The production cost of $15 million was originally paid by Simon himself. This time, the actual calculation method should be that danilis entertainment spent $1 million to buy out the European and American copyright of the project, and then spent $1 million on the production of subtitles. As for publicity and distribution, it is also within this $1 million. In addition, it mainly depends on some routine operations of DHO and blockbuster team.

In short, the investment is about US $2 million, not to mention the potential benefits brought by the late night theater viewing record created by DHO broadcasting, but blockbuster, which is accurate to US $24 million, minus the cost of US $2 million, with a profit of US $22 million.

In terms of return on investment ratio, the profit has doubled!

Um.

To be more precise, Simon, the unlucky investor, is still at a loss because he sold the copyright of Tianlong Babu at a low price. Together with TVB and CCTV, which are regarded as partners, although they are not at a loss, after all, the two sides have only contributed some resources, but they certainly can't profit from the North American profits of the project.

The final result is that there is only one winner in the project, danilis entertainment.

Now, the problem comes.

What's next?

Before that, because of the success of "Tianlong Babu" on the DHO platform, danilis first thought of purchasing more Chinese martial arts TV dramas. Unfortunately, after investigation, she found that most, or almost all, martial arts TV dramas are only shoddy compared with "Tianlong Babu".

Or not just TV dramas, even some classic martial arts films in Hong Kong can only be described as rough compared with the great rivers and mountains and excellent production of Tianlong eight.

There's nothing worth buying.

If you can't buy it, the best way is to invest in making it yourself.

People here have also roughly found out that as the author of the novel Tianlong Babu, Daxia Jin has more than ten series of novels that can be developed, so there is no shortage of projects.

So, do it?

After all, the $15 million investment in Tianlong eight is a sky high price in China, but it's really nothing in Hollywood.

For a small comparison, the American version of "women's high strange talk", which will be launched on Halloween at the end of the month, is the one adapted from a Korean film. The final production cost in Hollywood is $10 million, which can only be regarded as low-cost production, but the same $10 million, placed in the current Korean side, is enough to make a heavy bomb.

There is no way to compare the exchange rate advantage.

Therefore, it is also affordable to invest here.

However, we also have concerns, mainly because we are worried that the success of Tianlong Babu is only a flash in the pan. After all, if ordinary TV dramas are not shoddy, it will take about two years to start planning and finally complete according to the standard of Tianlong eight.

Two years later, who knows what the audience's taste will be like in Hollywood?

After all, even for English films, there are some themes that are no longer so popular in Hollywood every few years. Perhaps, when the next one is made, people have forgotten that this is still a popular TV play at this time.

Finally, of course, the problem comes to Simon.
