188 Chapter 188 Big production era (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)

Some people may wonder why many Hollywood film manufacturers, after entering the new millennium, love high-investment works so much.

Almost every year, a large number of projects with an investment cost of more than 100 million or even 200 million are filmed. How many superstars are invited to join?

Don't they know that high investment is high risk?Are you afraid of failure?

They certainly know that even the top executives of the companies who have stepped down because of poor projects do not know how many, but why continue to implement this type of investment policy.

Isn’t it safer to use a small to expand?For example, ”Smart: Ghost Record” and ”Blair the Witch”.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are many such works, or are there many works that make big profits by investing in blockbuster films?

Probability and risk-reward ratio may give you the answer.

Isn’t it because the above-mentioned works are so famous that they are even used as case studies by major film companies?

This is not true for blockbuster films, which will be successful every year.

Besides, you certainly can’t imagine that, in fact, films with an investment cost of between 100 million and 150 million are the most insurable projects. They are more likely to generate more than twice the profit than movies with other levels of cost. Those who exceed this range, whether it is higher or lower, will bear some risk of loss or unsatisfactory returns.

In other words, those low-cost and small-produced movies are not necessarily risky. Even if they have been profitable, the income of a normal blockbuster movie can match the income of your five or six small productions, so the market may not be there. How to calculate the risk of accepting failure?

Anyway, as long as it is filming, there will be investment risks.

Converting to big data can be regarded as a probability question, so why not choose a way that reduces the ratio of risk to return on investment to the minimum.

This is why the era of blockbuster movies will come.

Take ”Bad Guy” as an example. A huge investment of US$100 million, plus a publicity fee of US$60 million, has also achieved very good market results.

The final box office in North America was 335.2 million US dollars. In the global market, some places have not yet been drawn. The total so far is 688.23 million US dollars, and it is still struggling to advance towards the 700 million mark.

But this box office data is enough to make any film company moved-even more so for Europa Pictures, this project is already the best result since the company was founded.

And such a blockbuster will be staged every year.

”007: Die Another Day”, ”The Matrix 2: Reloading” and even ”Finding Nemo”, which is still in theaters, have achieved market returns that meet their worth.

The first two may not be as stunning as ”Bad Guy”.After all, it's a series of movies, which is supported by fans.

But the latter is even more prominent. It has only been released for more than half a month, and it has already received 600 million in the global market. I believe that 700 million is not a problem at all, and even 800 million may not be able to stop it.

Let's talk about rewards.

Lehmann personally participated in the production of ”Bad Guy” with a split infrared and fixed salary. As for Mann Studio, it purely took part of the investment share.

The three parties jointly assumed the huge risks of production and correspondingly won huge market benefits.

Just such a work will bring an estimated income of 60 million U.S. dollars to Mann Studio-of course, this data must also be deducted from taxes and various taxes.

Although it has not been calculated in detail, it will not be less than 50 million.This is just a studio, and Lehman can earn about 10 million yuan.
