Chapter 2855 Capital Enters the Market!
Entering the second week, the popularity of "Let the Bullets Fly" has not dropped at all.
First of all, because many small and medium-sized theaters have increased their support for the filming of "Let the Bullets Fly", among which the Kiwi Theater has added 500 screens, so "Let the Bullets Fly" has penetrated into third- and fourth-tier cities. More people can also watch "Let the Bullets Fly", a good movie that caused a sensation in the film industry.
Then also because of the good reputation.
No matter which website it is on, everyone has expressed their liking for Jiang Wen's down-to-earth spirit, and they are even more appreciative of Jiang Wen's words of "making money while standing up" in the movie.
The story is good, the actors are strong, the conflicts in the plot are also very interesting, plus the handling of the filming, etc., it has a taste of a man of iron and blood, which makes the audience who are used to watching domestic shit, shit, and fart movies shine, and they will naturally support it "Let the Bullets Fly".
So, on Monday, "Let the Bullets Fly" had a box office of 79 million; on Tuesday, "Let the Bullets Fly" had a box office of 8,000 trillion... On the weekend, it broke out again and cut 330 million at the box office, and the cumulative box office in the second week reached 700 million!
Including more than 400 million in the first week, the box office was 1.126 billion in 10 days of release, and the average daily box office exceeded 100 million.
Baoyu Group laughed so hard that they even woke up from their dreams!
Originally, they were optimistic about Jiang Wen's film, but they just thought that Jiang Wen's film was likely to exceed 600 million box office.
Unexpectedly, in just ten days, it had a box office of 1.126 billion, becoming the first domestic film to break the box office of 1 billion, and also a series of record holders for domestic films.
Although the box office of "Avatar" is really unattainable, but with "Let the Bullets Fly" as the foundation, are you afraid that Jiang Wen's films will not be able to reach new highs in the future?
In contrast, Jiang Wen was not proud of anything, he still appeared in front of people coolly, neither arrogant nor humble, but fit the image of Jiang Wen in people's eyes.
But in fact, Jiang Wen was still very happy, and immediately began to prepare his new script. It is said that this story adapted from a real case in the Republic of China is what Jiang Wen has always wanted to shoot.
He had immediately invited Uncle Ge to play the role, and he did not forget his promise to Cheng Yunyan and sent her an invitation. As for whether to go or not, that is Cheng Yunyan's own business.
Xiao Qi heard what Cheng Yunyan said, although it was a pity that Cheng Yunyan did not appear in such a big production, but remembering that she was never a person who was greedy for fame and fortune, naturally he followed her heart.
Because the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" will definitely break 1.5 billion yuan, compared to the cost of 340 million yuan so far. Already made a lot of money.
This is only the box office in mainland China. Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States all have more or less box office returns, or in the form of buyouts. Anyway, at least 100 million yuan of net profit will be recorded. .
Afterwards, DVD, Internet, TV rights, etc., at least 50 million, although not as developed as those in Europe and the United States, but at least much better than previous years.
For this reason, Baoyu Films also deliberately added 50 million publicity capital to make this flame even more vigorous.
But this is at least almost 600 million yuan. It has completely won the throne of the film with the highest ratio of input and output in the history of Huaguo.
Of course, "Let the Bullets Fly" is number one if the changes in commodity prices and currency purchasing power are excluded, otherwise "Shaolin Temple" will always be a monument that cannot be surpassed by later movies!
Seeing Baoyu Group earning so much money, the queen sister felt a little enthusiastic, and called her husband to act like a baby, asking if she wanted to invest in Jiang Wen's new film as well.
Xiao Qi has heard from her that Jiang Wen's new film is expected to cost 200 million yuan to shoot, plus overspending expenses, promotional expenses, etc., it will cost at least 300 million yuan.
Honestly. Xiao Qi admires Jiang Wen's talent very much, but he has also heard of Jiang Wen's bad temper.
Jiang Wen's desire to control on the set is well known, but this is nothing. But Jiang Wen was comparable to Cameron in wasting money, which made Xiao Qi a little worried.
Cameron's wasting money is a waste of money, but he never plays any fakes. He didn't say what kind of art film to make, and how much connotation it should have. Cameron has been the king of commercial films from beginning to end.
But Jiang Wen is not!
He is still an old man at heart. I always hope to express some profound truths, which is reflected in all his works. The movie "The Devil Is Coming" was banned for this reason.
Don't look at "Let the Bullets Fly" is so popular now, but Jin Bangleng has told Qiao Guoer that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is very dissatisfied with some allusions in "Let the Bullets Fly". If he still does this for a movie, he won't be stingy to call back the right to modify and edit directly, and let him know what the final editing right is.
Xiao Qi was worried that once Jiang Wen was successful, he would be a little swollen, thinking about making an earth-shattering movie, but this time it turned out to be a bad one.
But seeing Qiao Guoer's enthusiasm, Xiao Qi could only agree with the actress to participate in the investment.
In fact, Baoyu Group wanted to take over all the investment, just like this time, but I don't know if it was because of the wind that it suddenly changed its mind and pulled everyone to invest together.
So Kiwi Film and Television accounted for 50 million, Guangguang accounted for 50 million, Bona also accounted for 50 million, and the remaining 150 million was Baoyu.
In Xiao Qi's opinion, Baoyu Group is not thinking about losing everyone together, but thinking that if something really goes wrong, then these groups will go to talk about love and run relationships together, which will always make the other side raise their hands A little bit, among other things, Xiao Qi behind Qiao Guoer is enough for the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to weigh in.
It's not a big deal, Xiao Qi admires Bao Yu's reaction and bearing, if it's an actress queen sister, it's no wonder she's willing to give up her share of the investment!
Speaking of the rapid popularity of "Let the Bullets Fly", of course not only the current big film and television companies, but also those capitals who have so much money that they can't find a place to spend it!
The business in the past two years has not been very easy. Thanks to online platforms such as Xiaoyao Mall and Taobao.com, small and medium-sized enterprises can live better. More companies and factories related to foreign trade have long been struggling. Always want to find a new industry to invest in.
In addition, the coal bosses in western Shanxi, the small oil bosses in the north, the mining bosses in the northwest... and other local tyrants also don't know how to use their money.
It just happened that "Avatar" was born first, and Huaguo's box office reached more than 4 billion yuan. They never thought that a movie could make such money!
Then there was "Let the Bullets Fly", which was filmed and directed by the Hua people themselves, and became a hit at the box office. 1.126 billion box office hit in 10 days, and its cost was only 200 to 300 million, how much money does it have to make?
These outsiders certainly don't know whether Huaguo films will make money after the success of "Avatar". It doesn't matter half a dime at all.
They also don't know that classics like "Let the Bullets Fly" are hard to come by in three to five years, and 90% of Huaguo's movies are still losing money!
All they have to do is see that "Avatar" and "Let the Bullets Fly" make a lot of money!
filming. It's nothing more than finding a good book, a good director, some good actors, and more theater support!
And these things, as long as you have money, you can do anything!
Of course, fundamentally speaking, their thinking is quite correct.
Making a film is what they think it is.
But the point is that none of them are that easy!
Good book?
Do you know what a good book is? Can a good book make a good movie?
good director
There are only a few good directors in Huaguo, and they all have their own fixed partners. Can you get them by rushing in?
good actor
There are quite a few good actors in Huaguo, but you have to be very particular about which drama you will cooperate with, and you must not put him in it just because he is a big name. That's not okay!
Looking for theater support?
This is easy. If you do all the first three items well, then of course the theaters will support it.
But if you can't do it, then no matter how much money you put into it, no matter how much you lower the allocation ratio, the theaters won't be so stupid and keep giving you good schedules!
However, those local tyrants who have money but have no place to spend it and want to gain both fame and fortune have long been unable to control so much, and many of them are not very familiar with the film industry at all. Just fell in!
Waving banknotes in their hands, they are looking for good books, good directors and good actors everywhere.
In the end, I encountered the most indispensable thing in the Huaguo film industry is the brokers, those who swindle money with their mouths, so I don't know how many people have been fooled by those old fritters. Sprinkle a lot of banknotes into it.
In the past few days, the rumors in the film circle have become more and more high-profile.
Someone spent 200 million to create a martial arts blockbuster, and then someone spent 300 million to create a popular blockbuster in Huaguo... Whether it is Mr. Xu, Zhang Guoshi, Feng Baoya, or Wang Jing, Du Boss, Lin Lingdong These directors are all related to these investments.
In terms of actors, it was even more direct real money and silver.
Jiang Wen's film salary is 50 million RMB!
Cheng Long's film salary is 50 million RMB!
Li Lianjie's film salary is 50 million RMB!
Zhou Xingxing's salary is 50 million RMB!
Uncle Ge's salary is 30 million RMB!
Zhou Yingdi's film salary is 30 million RMB!
...
It's not just the remuneration of these first-tier big names that has been rising repeatedly, but also the second- and third-tier stars. Also because of this upsurge, the salary has soared.
Many actors are happy to sign the contract, it doesn't matter whether the movie is successful or not, as long as I can get paid!
The most ridiculous thing was that someone came to Qiao Guoer with an offer of 30 million yuan for a movie.
This shows how ignorant these people are!
Anyone who knows a little bit about the film and television industry, who doesn't know that Qiao Guoer is the most powerful woman in the film and television industry now?
He has the largest kiwifruit theater chain in Huaguo, and has huge film and television resources. How can he appear in a movie again?
Qiao Guoer told Xiao Qi about this as a joke, but the young man knew that the chaos in the film industry had already started ahead of schedule!
The chaotic phenomenon of hot money pouring into the film industry starting from "囧带" in the previous life, unexpectedly appeared in this world ahead of schedule because of my support for "Let the Bullets Fly"!
I really don't know if such a thing is good or bad for Huaguo movies!
Because the boy remembered the Hong Kong movies back then, it was because the hot money from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia poured in, which directly made Hong Kong movies very vain and chaotic. Everyone only made movies for making money, without any seriousness at all. mean.
Of course, everyone already knows the final result.
Hong Kong movies have been in direct decline since then, and even after nearly 15 years, there is no sign of recovery at all!
This is something that cannot happen in China! (~^~)
