Chapter 1726 Asia’s First Heavenly Group
The Xiangjiang film industry, which Wang Jiawei talks about so much, has entered July and is even more exciting.
"Hunting Cannon 2", released in late June, has been overcoming obstacles in North America and Europe, and the box office performance of the first episode has continued.
The same goes for the box office in Asia.
Because Eddie Murphy came from Hong Kong and can speak fluent Cantonese, the Chinese people do not regard him as an outsider.
In addition, Eddie Murphy has become a top action star in Hollywood in recent years, second only to superstars such as Stallone, and more popular than the governor who has not yet exploded. Therefore, in Japan and South Korea, it is also There are also countless fans.
Yam Da-wa's reputation has been completely opened up through the last movie "The Sky Cannon", but he is still at a slight disadvantage in the movie.
It's just that Yam Dahua plays one of the leading actors in a movie like this, which is already a victory.
After all, it is not that common to see an Asian as the leading actor in a major Hollywood production.
Except for the films of the Kirin Group, no Hollywood film company is willing to let a Chinese be the leading actor.
Therefore, within two weeks of its release, "Tianpao 2" took in a global box office of US$250 million, which is not surprising.
According to the estimation of the evaluation agency, it is not a problem for "Hunter 2" to win a global box office of US$500 million.
This has been very successful. After including all the publicity expenses, the production cost of "Boom 2" is only 50 million US dollars.
If you include the later peripheral copyright fees such as video tapes and TV screenings, the net profit of 130 million US dollars is more than enough.
Don't look at the fact that Hollywood makes so many movies throughout the year, but in fact, it is impossible for a movie to earn more than 100 million U.S. dollars in more than 50 movies a year.
And the profits from overseas markets have to be taken into account. Otherwise, based on the North American box office alone, there would be 10 movies with profits exceeding US$100 million a year. They would all be laughing.
Starting from "Daoma Dan" and ending with "Hang Tian Pao 2", Kirin Film's two movies in June have made a good start for Kirin Film's movie strategy in this summer season.
However, the two films combined do not have the same level of expectations across Asia as "Happy Ghost 3", which will be released in mid-July.
As the mainstay of the "Happy Ghost" series, the Happy Girls group has completely broken away from the movie, and in turn has become a boost for "Happy Ghost".
Young people all over Asia are waiting for the release of movies starring their idols.
The power of the student party cannot be ignored.
Last year, with the release of "Happy Ghost 2", the Happy Girls group earned 200 million Hong Kong dollars across Asia. Everyone saw it, and I don't know how many people were jealous.
This time, just one year later, "Happy Ghost 3" has made a comeback, showing the absolute confidence of Kirin Films.
Even "The King of Flowers 2" was moved to August, giving "Happy Ghost 3" a month's release time.
Its only rival now is "Mr. Zombie 4", which was released in early August.
The time left for "Happy Ghost 3" is 17 days from the first weekend plus two weeks.
I don’t know if “Mr. Zombie 4” can set another record, but “Happy Ghost 3” is very confident.
Kirin Movies even spent tens of millions of dollars on advertising, directly advertising in the prime time slots of the three major TV stations: Kylin TV, ATV and TVB.
The young and beautiful Happy Girl group sang and danced, or directly broadcast the opening credits of "Happy Ghost 3"...
The appearance of these scenes fascinated the students who were already on vacation.
On Friday, the first day of the opening weekend, the attendance rate for the first show was as high as 90%, which is the best expression of the audience's love for "Happy Ghost 3".
"Happy Ghost 3" did not disappoint everyone.
Even though Yin Jun is no longer the screenwriter, Wang Jinghe and several screenwriters are already familiar with this, and there is nothing wrong with letting the five girls in the Happy Girls group show their charm.
As expected, "Happy Ghost 3" grossed HK$300 million across Asia in the three days of its first weekend!
You know, "Happy Ghost 2", which was released on July 1 last year, only had HK$180 million in its first weekend.
Although this is because Kirin Asia Cinemas has been integrated and the number of screens has increased by at least 30%, the more important reason is that after so many years of running in and developing, the female group of Happy Girls has reached the time to bloom brilliantly. .
The box office revenue of HK$280 million in the second week further proves this point.
The Happy Girls girl group is now the number one group in Asia, bar none.
Young people all over Asia are succumbing to their charm, just like the thigh era more than 20 years later.
More than that.
With such strong box office appeal and such high popularity, the Happy Girls girl group cannot take time off.
At the beginning of the second Monday, major performance companies across Asia sent invitations one after another, asking the Happy Girls to go to their places to participate in commercial performances and advertisements.
In fact, this kind of invitation already existed before the start of "Happy Ghost 3". However, the asking price of Chen Jiaying, deputy director of Qilin Culture, was a bit high, which was even higher than last year, so most companies were a little hesitant.
Now seeing the incredible box office success of "Happy Ghost 3", they no longer hesitated. Knowing that the Happy Girls group is unrivaled in popularity, they naturally chose to compromise.
Facing their invitation, Chen Jiaying did not hesitate and agreed directly.
Firstly, because everyone has been cooperating, it is better not to do things like temporary price increases.
Secondly, it is the summer vacation in July, and the popularity of the Happy Girls girl group is so strong. It is just a good time to create greater cohesion among the students, so that when they grow up, they will also become Happy Girls. .Fans of the girl group have been continuously supporting the five girls.
So, while discussing the specific contract with them, Chen Jiaying immediately took them to Baodao and performed for three to five days first.
Baodao has a very complicated perception of the Qilin Group.
Overall, it is definitely negative, but the Kirin Group has too much influence in cultural media. The United States and the United States have to help them speak for them. Baodao cannot completely block them and can only ignore them. ask.
In addition, Qilin Culture has a deep foundation in Baodao. China Television has been cooperating with them before, and there are many people who have interests in them in the film industry, performance fields, advertising planning, etc.
Under such circumstances, Qilin culture continued to develop in Treasure Island, and they could not stop it.
However, Baodao still wants to save face. They announced that Kylin TV's broadcast does not comply with Baodao's regulations, so people are prohibited from installing it. As for whether they will check it after it is installed, that is another matter.
However, Xiangjiang's Kirin Film Company can still release films in Baodao Cinemas on a profit-sharing basis - after all, after checking this, what about Disney and United Artists Film Company in the United States? Do you dare to ban them from entering Baodao Market?
All in all, Baodao can only bury its head in the sand. Especially in the past two years, the Chang family has been under increasing pressure. The United States Liaison Office has become more and more powerful, and even they are too lazy to care about such a trivial matter.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kylin TV has arranged 5 days of performances in Baodao since the Asia tour at the beginning of last year, and all the venues were sold out.
The tour at the beginning of this year even lasted a week in Baodao, and the three cities were still full, and they made a lot of money.
That's why the Happy Girls girl group can break into the Baodao market so easily. Including the album released last year, it sold more than 3 million copies directly in Baodao!
Yin Jun was a little surprised when he heard this. No wonder Baodao is known as the second largest gathering place for otakus after Japan.
In the past, the Chinese singer who sold the most single album was Zhang Xueyou's "Kiss Goodbye", which only sold more than 4 million copies in one year.
But in one year, the Happy Girls group sold more than 3 million tapes in Baodao alone, and 10.8 million in Asia, second only to Teresa Teng's two albums - "Teresa Deng" and "Lee Teng".
But this is enough to make them proud, because they are the people behind the world's first queen.
From a certain perspective, they are the number one diva group in Asia!
In the past two years, Japan, South Korea and even Taiwan have imitated the Happy Girls group and launched their own girl groups, and they have spent a lot of effort.
But these girl groups were born at the wrong time and met the Happy Girl Group created by Yin Jun. Not only did Yin Jun give them great support in songs, but also in the movies "Happy Ghost" and Happy Girl Group They complement each other and bring out the best in each other.
There are also various tours, fan meetings, etc. held every year, which are also important reasons for increasing the stickiness of fans.
Not to mention that the Happy Girls girl group has more than 15 advertising endorsements for super first-tier and first-tier brands, which ensures their maximum exposure and can appear in front of young people anytime and anywhere, making them more impressive.
Each of these advantages are comparable to those of girl groups.
From a general perspective, Xiangjiang Entertainment is at its peak right now, and together with Happy Girls, the girl group naturally has a bit of a lead over others. Which girl groups do you want to compare with them?
For such a popular happy girl group, three to five days in Treasure Island is considered a short time. Countless young men and women are calling on them to stay a few more days.
Naturally, this follow-up performance will be performed and urgent negotiations will be held at the same time.
According to this plan, the Happy Girls group will have to tour for at least two to three months.
But for some reason, Wen Bixia personally found Chen Jiaying and asked her to compress the time within two months, and it must be completed by mid-August at the latest.
Chen Jiaying didn't understand what Wen Bixia meant, because Wen Bixia has always been a strong woman who works hard.
Among this group of girls, her favorite is a girl like Wen Bixia, who can obviously make money easily with Yin Jun by filming movies and commercials, but she keeps moving forward with her own efforts.
Normally, Wen Bixia is only worried about not working enough and not making much money, so why would she take the initiative to reduce her performance time?
Wen Bixia didn't say the reason, but she was very determined.
Chen Jiaying had to consider the opinion of the little princess.
Wen Bixia never puts on airs, but that doesn't mean she has no power.
Who Yin Jun will prefer between Chen Jiaying and Wen Bixia, Chen Jiaying can think of it with her little finger.
With no other choice, Chen Jiaying could only disrupt her previous plans and start to compress her time.
First of all, Baodao will only appear for 5 days, without adding a day.
This made the young people and students of Baodao howl.
Even fans in countries such as Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Singapore are a little frightened, fearing that their performance time will be reduced.
For this reason, fans are actively calling on the performance organizers in their own countries to ask them to try their best to provide more performances. Everyone will definitely support it with the greatest sincerity.
It’s the uncle who spends the money.
In order to satisfy them, the performance promoters competed for time and almost got into a fight, which was both funny and horrifying to watch.
It is no exaggeration to say that a girl group with such influence is the number one in Asia! !
