THE SHADES OF HOLLYWOOD ACCOUNTING AND MOVIECOIN SOLUTION FOR A PROFITABLE MOVIE INDUSTRY POWERED BY BLOCKCHAIN

in ethereum •  6 years ago 

The movie industry is one of the major key revenue generator in the entertainment industry. The blockchain industry have been faced with lots of criticisms and that has slowed down the massive adoption. The fact remains the blockchain technology will go a long way in decentralization of many industries, the purpose is to provide a highly safe and free system under the control of its users. Data are under the control of the users and not the platform. Lots of blockchain projects have ventured into the entertainment industry especially the music industry, sports, etc. The sole purpose is to create a solution and most end up minting tokens for exchange of services on their platform. Moviecoin is way more beyond just token for exchange, buying and holding. Moviecoin is backed with a working project and proffers accounting solution to the movie industry. The Hollywood accounting has been grossed with irregularities on the part of the studio corporations who are responsible for the production of the movies.

Reasons Why The Hollywood Accounting System Is Flawed

The main purpose of every movie is to entertain its viewer while the movie corporation keeps their eyes on the profit. In the production of movies, financiers, cinematographers, actors, actresses, graphics designer, script writers, sound tracks, etc. the list depends on the movie plan and its budget size. Creativity, story line and high tech motion graphics are handful in the production of a movie but a proper accounting of the expenses on the budget is key for profit. Many movies have recorded huge revenue after they hit the box office and cinemas but the key players like the actors, actresses, sound track producers, etc. are most times left with nothing from the proceeds of the movie. A lot of movies as reported by rotten tomatoes have been worst hit, the likes of return of Jedi and Harry Potter recorded huge revenue worth millions of dollars, revenues over hundred percent of its budget. The problem lies in the Hollywood accounting, most studio corporations that handle movie projects. When a movie project is set up, the movie production studio is in charge of most of the resources required for execution of the project. It is responsible of the sourcing, collection, organizing and disbursement of funds efficiently for the actualization of the movie project.

It is sad to note that most movie studios indulge in shady operations which involves hiring or setting up a separate corporation that is responsible for carrying out a particular movie production. This corporation is like a management corporation that oversees of outgoing payments and incoming credits and capitals. Many Studios set up corporation which are still registered under their name, maybe a subsidiary of their studio. In most cases in order not to arouse suspicion, the corporation may be an external corporation which the studio has over eighty percent shares. These are well coordinated to avoid lawsuits as this is illegal in the sight of the law. This is just the foundation to the financial manipulation by studios through the use of management corporation to amass wealth to themselves while leaving the other key players with little or no earning. Usually the management corporation prepares the accounting books and profit is usually calculated by subtracting all expenses from the revenue generation from a particular movie project and the remaining funds are now shared as profits between the studio, the management corporations, actors/actresses, etc. It is a win for the studio which pays itself via the management corporation and still shares the left over with the movie key actors/ actresses and contributors. This is unfair and has been frowned upon by many movie stars and industry key players. Everyone in the industry have taken measures to protect themselves from loss. one key measure taken is to enter into contract agreement that gives most contributors such as actors/actresses, sound engineers, cinematographers, etc. a percentage earning calculated from the gross revenue generated before deductions of expenses.

The question is, how long will this trend continue? Even if the management corporation is an independent firm with impeccable auditing records, most top movie financiers will not accept such an agreement but rather let things play by their own rules. This explains why Return of the Jedi, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, were marred by huge losses even when the movie project made revenues worth over two hundred percent of their budget. There is a panacea to this movie industry challenge and it is an accounting system built on blockchain technology which Moviecoin is glad to present to the Hollywood movie industry.
