Chapter 936
The last one, "Mystery of the World", costs even more.

Just one copyright, you must know that "Mystery of the World" has dominated the rankings in North America for dozens of weeks, and it is definitely a super IP.Hollywood giants are very interested in "Mystery of the World", but similarly, the author of "Mystery of the World" also knows the value of the copyright of this work.

Therefore, even Lin Xiao was quite surprised that Tianmeng won the film and television adaptation rights of "Mystery of the World".

Then here comes the problem, the popular IP that the Hollywood giants are still hesitating is actually taken over by the domestic Tianmeng, so it can be seen that the price paid by the Tianmeng is absolutely huge.

The production cost budget of the first "Atlantis" of "Mystery of the World" also reached the highest point among the three projects, with a cost of up to 2.5 million US dollars.

In addition, James Qin is a director who can get top salary in North America, so it is certain to ask for a share.

So here comes the question, with such a hot IP, plus James Qin, who earns at least 2000 million US dollars plus a certain percentage of the share, and the author of "Mystery of the World", how much share will he ask for, and how much adaptation fee will he ask for?
As for "Mystery of the World", judging from the current budget given by the Tianmeng, this film, on a global scale, must at least exceed 10 billion US dollars to pay back.

Of course, the peripheral and long-term other DVDs and online copyrights in the later stage can indeed make a lot of profits, but the problem is that the financing of Tianmeng only involves the box office share, and there is no other share.

And there are still only a handful of movies with a global gross of 10 billion US dollars.

So can Mystery of the World do it?
In the end, the evaluation given by Longteng Consulting is that "Mystery of the World" has huge box office potential, but because the director, author, starring, etc., must have revenue sharing contracts, so, even if "Mystery of the World" can sell well , the profits that investors can obtain will not be too high.

The production cost is 2.5 million U.S. dollars. For such a super-big production, if you want to distribute it globally and promote it globally, the cost of publicity and distribution must be at least 1 million U.S. dollars.

So here comes the problem again, the film itself has many profit sharers, even if the film can make money, most of the profits will be taken away by others, and investors can only get such a small part.

So the risk assessment of "Mystery of the World Atlantis" is, risk: extremely high!ROI: Very low.

At the same time, Longteng Consulting also gave some unkind advice. Before investing, the project party must announce the specific budget.

Such as copyright purchase agreements, such as remuneration and sharing agreements for actors, directors, etc., etc.

Because the investment budget may be constant, but the cost outside the budget is the most critical.

For example, a movie may only have an investment budget of 1000 million, but it is very likely that other actors, such as the leading actor and director, will be paid for their shares and eventually participate in the share.

In this way, it is very likely that investors are just working for these people in the end.

Obviously, for a super IP of the level of "Mystery of the World", the author's requirements are absolutely super high, otherwise, the Hollywood giants would not hesitate for so long and fail to win it.

There are so many circles in film investment, and there are Hollywood ledgers. Although such a large-scale investment is involved, it is impossible for Tianmeng to use Hollywood ledgers to deceive investors, but in the same way, it is too normal to take risks for money. But that's all.

No matter how high the box office is, they can reasonably and legally maintain losses on the books, and you can't find it out even if you check.

After watching it, Guo Shenyun was silent for a long time. He has never supported investing in the film and television industry, especially movies, not because this industry does not make money, but because he knows that every industry is like a mountain.

After reading the report of Longteng Consulting, although there are not many specific data in it, even the most conservative data still shows that the three major projects of the Sky Alliance are all pitfalls!
Yes, they are all pits!

Just imagine, with the cooperation between Hollywood and domestic film companies, how many domestic film companies take advantage of it?
For a movie, if a share contract is signed with the director, copyright owner, actors, etc. before it is released, the share may reach 40%, or even more.

So in the end, maybe the movie box office is profitable, but these people have taken all the money, and the rest, after the profits are divided, will definitely lose money.

Maybe someone will ask again, since it is likely to work for Hollywood directors, actors, and copyright owners, why does Tianmeng still know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to travel to Tiger Mountain?
In fact, it is very simple. For Tianmeng, movies do not necessarily have to make money. As long as the box office is high, which shows that the data is good, then they will make money.

Although Tianmeng Film and Television is only an investment company belonging to several major companies and is not a listed company, the performance of Tianmeng will greatly affect the stock prices of major companies.

Once the film sells well, the momentum will build up, and they will be able to make back all the losses if they increase by a few percentage points.

As for external financing, they are naturally unwilling to lose even the money, borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and then killing the chickens to get the eggs, for them there is no hesitation.

Tianchen Film and Television Fund is also confident, why?Because just this wave can make them eat for a long time, and their reputation has started, they don't need to worry about these problems at all before the investment structure comes out.

Besides, investing itself is risky.

In fact, Tianchen Film and Television Fund is very bold this time. It not only raises funds for investment companies, but also opens crowdfunding channels on the Internet.

Funding for the general public.

The publicity of the three major projects is also rampant, as if to tell everyone that, yes, investment is risky, but the possibility of success of these three major projects is quite high.

And even investment companies can't figure out the twists and turns inside, let alone the general public?

In fact, there have been many film projects in China that have been crowdfunded to the public through online channels, and there are profits and losses. Of course, for most of these models, the amount of financing will not be too high.

Because it involves guarantee issues and illegal fundraising issues.

Crowdfunding that promises to repay debt and interest at maturity has its own problems.

If you don't have a reliable guarantee company to guarantee and prove your ability to pay, why do you make such a promise?

And equity crowdfunding involves another problem, that is, the problem of risk.

Investors need to bear huge risks in this crowdfunding method, so it is usually not so attractive.

However, Tianchen's crowdfunding this time is the three famous projects, and the advertisements have already been overwhelming.

Therefore, it is still relatively popular with the public.
