This is not Lin Han's first time coming to London, but he has a completely different feeling every time he comes here.
Lin Han originally wanted to take a photo to commemorate it, but as soon as he entered the museum, he was attracted by the many exhibits, which made him forget about this incident.
Even the under-appreciated "Immortal" cost only RMB 100,000, but it grossed tens of millions of dollars at the box office in North America alone, leaving the distributor Weinstein Pictures in the dark!
The overseas distribution agreement signed between Galaxy Pictures and 20th Century Fox uses a guaranteed deposit method. Fox purchases all overseas distribution rights including theaters, networks, DVDs, and VODs. It is not a one-time buyout, but Adopting the account sharing model, Galaxy Silver accounts for 30% of the box office share in the specific account sharing ratio.
If he had enough time, he would like to visit the British Lake District or the Scottish Highlands and see the lakes and mountains and other natural scenery. Since time is limited now, he might as well just wander around London alone.
Richard led the way. He was very interested in Lin Han's movie. "This is the best Chinese movie I have ever seen. It may also be very popular in the UK. I hope to see this movie in London."
Although domestic films are not popular entertainment products overseas, Lin Han's previous two films have shown that audiences in Europe and the United States are quite receptive to this type of science fiction film!
Speaking of which, there are many must-visit places in London, but fortunately they are relatively concentrated, such as Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, London Eye, Cavalry Barracks, Buckingham Palace, Trafford Square, National Gallery, etc.!
The rich and diverse collection simply attracted Lin Han's attention. If it weren't for the vibration of his phone, he would never have left the museum so early.

According to the final statistics of this floating ratio, the film studio and the theater can each get about half!
"Hi, Lin, long time no see!" Richard Stanmer stretched out his hand to shake Lin Han's hand and said, "I just saw on BBC News last night that you were accepting the award in Paris. I didn't expect to arrive so soon. London.”
The appeal of traditional martial arts-themed movies to overseas audiences is gradually decreasing. Most Chinese movies have very few screenings in North America and are basically small-scale screenings!
Of course, this ratio is helpless. Even if the domestic box office is 100 million, the producer can only get 30 million in revenue.
Speaking of which, there are many must-visit places in London, but fortunately they are relatively concentrated, such as Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, London Eye, Cavalry Barracks, Buckingham Palace, Trafford Square, National Gallery, etc.!
But this time Lin Han chose to visit the British Museum, a place he missed the last time he came.
This is why 20th Century Fox is willing to take a gamble. They plan to release "The Matrix" on February 14, two days earlier than domestically, because it happens to be on Valentine's Day.
The Spring Festival in China is on February 16th. Spring in North America has always been an unpopular time. There are basically no science fiction blockbusters released, so it is conducive to the large-scale screening of "The Matrix" at that time!
Therefore, many people on the Internet say that if you want a movie to recover its cost, the box office must be three times the cost. Of course, if you can get more revenue from non-theatres, the box office requirements will be much lower!
Located in Great Russell Square north of New Oxford Street, the British Museum is the oldest and grandest comprehensive museum in the world. It is also the largest and most famous in the world. It has a collection of more than 13 million items. However, due to space constraints , there are still a large number of collections that cannot be publicly displayed!
"To be honest, the footage of this movie is very shocking. Maybe you can create a small record, and you can not only win the best sales, but also win the literary award and the film award."
Therefore, he increased the original special effects cost of US$15 million to US$20 million!
…
In fact, there are many films that claim to have this level of investment, but the actual money spent on the film may only be half of "The Matrix". Many other films spend the money on various big-name actors.

There is a beautiful and spacious public space here, including a lounge, cafe, restaurant, food stalls, small gift stalls, and a reading and exhibition hall in the middle!

It is said that one-third of these collections were looted, one-third were purchased at low prices, and the remaining one-third were donated.
But when we were filming "The Matrix", we only had five million in a few months, and we were so exhausted. It was really not cost-effective.
But when Lin Han's two movies were released, they targeted the broadest audience of moviegoers: foreigners. Science fiction movies are already mainstream overseas, and the science fiction atmosphere is very good. Coupled with the help of Lin Han's novels, the box office is still quite good. of!
According to the final statistics of this floating ratio, the film studio and the theater can each get about half!
The pioneer of "The Matrix", that is, the novel of the same name has become a bestseller in various countries and regions around the world. Discussions about various contents in it have basically reached their peak, creating very good external conditions for the release of the movie.
Richard led the way. He was very interested in Lin Han's movie. "This is the best Chinese movie I have ever seen. It may also be very popular in the UK. I hope to see this movie in London."
They probably thought that Lin Han was a fool who didn't understand overseas distribution. Who knew that Lin Han recruited Miao Hong, the former head of Sony Pictures' North America region, and he knew all the twists and turns.
The appeal of traditional martial arts-themed movies to overseas audiences is gradually decreasing. Most Chinese movies have very few screenings in North America and are basically small-scale screenings!
Relatively speaking, North American DVD, Blu-ray disc, TV and online on-demand revenue will be much higher than that in China. At this time, 20th Century Fox and Galaxy Pictures only need to share the share, and the share ratio is not the same as the movie box office. Same, reaching 50%!
It is certainly unrealistic to browse all the exhibits in one day, because the museum has ten branches, the Coins and Commemorative Coins Hall, the Egyptian Hall, the Ethnographic Hall, the Greek and Roman Hall, the Japanese Hall, the Oriental Hall, and the Prehistoric Hall. and the European Pavilion, the Prints and Drawings Pavilion, and the West Asian Pavilion.
It is easy to deceive Lin Han, but it is not so easy to deceive Miao Hong!
Taking a taxi to the office building of MPC Special Effects Company, Lin Han immediately saw Richard Steinmer coming to greet him.
It is easy to deceive Lin Han, but it is not so easy to deceive Miao Hong!
It is easy to deceive Lin Han, but it is not so easy to deceive Miao Hong!
Previously, Xu Jiayan was still joking about Lin Han's increasing stinginess. After filming "Immortality", he received a red envelope of 1 million yuan from Lin Han as a salary, and earned one million yuan in just a few days of filming.
Martial arts cannot be recognized by overseas audiences, but science fiction can. This greatly eliminates the adverse effects of differences in literature and art. At least everyone can understand what the movie is about.
Lin Han followed the crowd into the museum, which seemed a bit crowded. What he saw were tourists from all over the world, with different skin colors and languages. The roof of the entire hall was completely covered with glass, making it appear spacious and bright.

He stood under the large grid-shaped canopy and looked up. He felt a little dizzy, as if there was a huge spider web floating above his head.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Hollywood movie box office revenue only accounts for 30%. Generally speaking, Lin Han is quite satisfied with this ratio.

Lin Han originally wanted to take a photo to commemorate it, but as soon as he entered the museum, he was attracted by the many exhibits, which made him forget about this incident.
Just like CCTV6 spent 4 million yuan to buy the TV screening rights of "Immortal", and video websites such as iQiyi and Tencent also spent millions to buy online copyrights. This part of the money was purely provided by Galaxy The film industry earns money without any sharing with others.
Therefore, he increased the original special effects cost of US$15 million to US$20 million!
In the past, many international distribution agents wanted to buy out the copyrights directly. They wanted to buy out all the overseas copyrights of "The Matrix" for a mere US$5 million. I really don't know where the confidence came from!
This is because Lin Han’s previous fees for movie placement were much higher than expected, and he also made huge profits from auctioning the film copyrights of the two novels "The Time Traveler's Wife" and "The Wandering Earth". In addition, the budget was controlled during the filming of the film. I got pretty good, so I had a lot of money left.
Therefore, he increased the original special effects cost of US$15 million to US$20 million!

The giant stone statues of Easter Island stood in Lin Han's sight, followed by Egyptian monuments and mummies, Chinese Buddha statues, murals, and porcelain, Indian Bodhisattvas, ancient Babylonian statues with human heads and bull bodies, and ancient Greek and Roman statues. The statues of the Three Fates in the Parthenon, sculptures from the Acropolis of Athens!
Therefore, many movies in North America are still making money at the box office after being released for two or three months, because most of the box office at this time is attributed to cinemas.

In fact, this is Fox taking advantage, because the North American box office is subject to a grading agreement. In the first week, the film studio gets 80% and the theater gets 20%; the next week it becomes 70% for the film side and 30% for the theater; and then slowly changes, as time goes by, The higher the cinema share ratio, the theater can even get 60% of the box office share in the later period. This way is to encourage the cinema to show the film longer!

The competition among special effects companies is also fierce. In the eyes of Richard Steinmer, Lin Han is a big customer. In addition to "The Matrix", the next two movies also signed commission agreements.

The overseas distribution rights of "The Matrix" have long been handed over to 20th Century Fox, the top giant in Hollywood. They have broad distribution channels and rich experience, which is much better than those small film and television companies.

According to the final statistics of this floating ratio, the film studio and the theater can each get about half!
Lin Han originally wanted to take a photo to commemorate it, but as soon as he entered the museum, he was attracted by the many exhibits, which made him forget about this incident.
Taking a taxi to the office building of MPC Special Effects Company, Lin Han immediately saw Richard Steinmer coming to greet him.
Even the under-appreciated "Immortal" cost only RMB 100,000, but it grossed tens of millions of dollars at the box office in North America alone, leaving the distributor Weinstein Pictures in the dark!
There is a beautiful and spacious public space here, including a lounge, cafe, restaurant, food stalls, small gift stalls, and a reading and exhibition hall in the middle!
Just like CCTV6 spent 4 million yuan to buy the TV screening rights of "Immortal", and video websites such as iQiyi and Tencent also spent millions to buy online copyrights. This part of the money was purely provided by Galaxy The film industry earns money without any sharing with others.
Previously, Xu Jiayan was still joking about Lin Han's increasing stinginess. After filming "Immortality", he received a red envelope of 1 million yuan from Lin Han as a salary, and earned one million yuan in just a few days of filming.
The Spring Festival in China is on February 16th. Spring in North America has always been an unpopular time. There are basically no science fiction blockbusters released, so it is conducive to the large-scale screening of "The Matrix" at that time!
Located in Great Russell Square north of New Oxford Street, the British Museum is the oldest and grandest comprehensive museum in the world. It is also the largest and most famous in the world. It has a collection of more than 13 million items. However, due to space constraints , there are still a large number of collections that cannot be publicly displayed!
In other words, if the North American box office is 100 million US dollars, then the theater can take away 50 million US dollars, and the remaining 50 million will be divided between the producer Galaxy Pictures and the distributor 20th Century Fox, of which 30% belongs to Galaxy Pictures , that is, 15 million US dollars will be distributed in the end.
It is said that one-third of these collections were looted, one-third were purchased at low prices, and the remaining one-third were donated.
But when we were filming "The Matrix", we only had five million in a few months, and we were so exhausted. It was really not cost-effective.

In fact, there are many films that claim to have this level of investment, but the actual money spent on the film may only be half of "The Matrix". Many other films spend the money on various big-name actors.

But when we were filming "The Matrix", we only had five million in a few months, and we were so exhausted. It was really not cost-effective.
The overseas distribution rights of "The Matrix" have long been handed over to 20th Century Fox, the top giant in Hollywood. They have broad distribution channels and rich experience, which is much better than those small film and television companies.
Martial arts cannot be recognized by overseas audiences, but science fiction can. This greatly eliminates the adverse effects of differences in literature and art. At least everyone can understand what the movie is about.

The appeal of traditional martial arts-themed movies to overseas audiences is gradually decreasing. Most Chinese movies have very few screenings in North America and are basically small-scale screenings!
According to the final statistics of this floating ratio, the film studio and the theater can each get about half!

The rich and diverse collection simply attracted Lin Han's attention. If it weren't for the vibration of his phone, he would never have left the museum so early.
In fact, this is Fox taking advantage, because the North American box office is subject to a grading agreement. In the first week, the film studio gets 80% and the theater gets 20%; the next week it becomes 70% for the film side and 30% for the theater; and then slowly changes, as time goes by, The higher the cinema share ratio, the theater can even get 60% of the box office share in the later period. This way is to encourage the cinema to show the film longer!
It is easy to deceive Lin Han, but it is not so easy to deceive Miao Hong!
These movies are basically watched by the Chinese themselves, and not many foreigners watch them.
The competition among special effects companies is also fierce. In the eyes of Richard Steinmer, Lin Han is a big customer. In addition to "The Matrix", the next two movies also signed commission agreements.

Lin Han watched the numbers on the floors above the elevator keep changing, and he replied: "There are no extravagant expectations for the film award. I just hope that the audience will like it."
But when Lin Han's two movies were released, they targeted the broadest audience of moviegoers: foreigners. Science fiction movies are already mainstream overseas, and the science fiction atmosphere is very good. Coupled with the help of Lin Han's novels, the box office is still quite good. of!

They probably thought that Lin Han was a fool who didn't understand overseas distribution. Who knew that Lin Han recruited Miao Hong, the former head of Sony Pictures' North America region, and he knew all the twists and turns.
In addition, the distribution companies chosen by these two movies are very powerful. Instead of choosing small companies, they chose 20th Century Fox and Weinstein. These companies have dedicated distribution teams, from marketing to finalizing theaters. One set can maximize the box office potential of a movie!
Although domestic films are not popular entertainment products overseas, Lin Han's previous two films have shown that audiences in Europe and the United States are quite receptive to this type of science fiction film!
This is why 20th Century Fox is willing to take a gamble. They plan to release "The Matrix" on February 14, two days earlier than domestically, because it happens to be on Valentine's Day.

When it comes to overseas distribution, the distributor usually has a strong position, but this time Lin Han's movie is not so niche, so he doesn't need to lose money at all.
The global box office of "The Martian" has reached 700 million US dollars. The box office in China alone is not enough to support it to this point. It is a hot seller in almost every market.
…
Of course, this ratio is helpless. Even if the domestic box office is 100 million, the producer can only get 30 million in revenue.
The overseas distribution agreement signed between Galaxy Pictures and 20th Century Fox uses a guaranteed deposit method. Fox purchases all overseas distribution rights including theaters, networks, DVDs, and VODs.

The pioneer of "The Matrix", that is, the novel of the same name has become a bestseller in various countries and regions around the world. Discussions about various contents in it have basically reached their peak, creating very good external conditions for the release of the movie.
It is certainly unrealistic to browse all the exhibits in one day, because the museum has ten branches, the Coins and Commemorative Coins Hall, the Egyptian Hall, the Ethnographic Hall, the Greek and Roman Hall, the Japanese Hall, the Oriental Hall, and the Prehistoric Hall. and the European Pavilion, the Prints and Drawings Pavilion, and the West Asian Pavilion.
