Chapter 935 Return on Investment and Shipment
Of course, it should not be difficult for "The Man from Macau 3" and "Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon" to make back their investment at the box office, even if the cost of the Spring Festival release is relatively high, but the return is certain.
However, Shen Lang is an insider and knows some news. Putting aside "The Mermaid", this movie will definitely make a lot of money. "Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon" is okay, but "The Man from Macau 3" is not very comfortable.
"Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon" is very easy to make back its investment. Now the cumulative box office of more than 380 million in three days is almost back to the investment.
It is definitely not as advertised. The investment of 450 million in the movie is impossible. Many movies like to exaggerate the publicity to give the audience confidence.
The biggest stars in the movie are actually Gong Huang and Guo Tianwang, and the pay of these two is not too high.
What, Gong Huang's pay is not high, of course, compared with ordinary female stars, her pay is definitely high, the awards are too exaggerated, but how to say it, capital looks at popularity, payback, and box office ability.
Although she has a high status, it is impossible to say that her salary will increase without a bottom line. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say so, her box office ability may not be as good as that of the 85 flowers.
At her age, she has fans, but they are also rational. Unlike the fans of the actresses, there are a group of underage people who support her without thinking. How can you compare?
Today's 85 flowers are at least still in the era of traffic, and can at least resist a box office of 10 or 20 million. Gong Huang is a top-tier star and has a super high national popularity, but she may not be able to carry it.
Her salary is likely to be around 13 million. Of course, this is actually much higher than the current 85 flowers. Yang Mi is only over 10 million. This is a respect for her status. Capital will not expect her to resist the box office, but only expect her to increase the upper limit of the movie, which can only be done with national popularity.
As for Guo Tianwang, his salary is just over 20 million. After all, Guo Tianwang is famous, but he can really be said to be a synonym for good quality and low price. His salary is actually not high. It is about 15 million now, and it can even be reduced a little.
Do you think it is too little? Maybe not as good as Yang Mi? It is not calculated in this way. Yang Mi quoted 10 million. Many people may not want to use it, but Guo Tianwang may not lack resources at this price. The cost performance is invincible.
His current salary for "Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon" is not as high as the salary of Yuzhou Dan in the previous "Havoc in Heaven". The salary of Yuzhou Dan in the previous movie is 26 million, and that of Chow Yun-fat is 40 million, not a penny less.
But it may also be related to this being his first time to play Sun Wukong. If the box office can achieve the same results as the previous one, the salary will definitely increase.
If this movie can achieve the box office of the previous one, the income may be even higher. As for Feng Shaofeng, Xiao Shenyang and the like, their salaries are not high.
But when thinking of Feng Shaofeng, Shen Lang's face is a little strange. He should be very uncomfortable when promoting "The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon" this time.
The publicity and promotion are making trouble, deliberately using this point to compare with Shen Lang. Why, it is still for "My Girlhood"
It can be said that after "My Girlhood" topped the list, every subsequent movie used it to talk about things.
"Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon" once boasted that it would definitely break the record of film history and break 3 billion.
Many movies will promote this, it doesn't matter, but one time, I don't know if it was intentional or a mistake, a paparazzi asked directly, there are gossip rumors, Ni Ni broke up with you and got together with Shen Lang, please ask if you know this news.
Of course, this topic was not continued, he pretended not to hear it, and the host took over and didn't talk about other things, but this was definitely hot.
In other words, there were too many things that could be in the news during the Spring Festival, and this news did not ferment particularly.
Shen Lang didn't know this information at first, it was sent directly to him by Nazha. She is a good brother, and it is very normal for her to confront and mock herself. Shen Lang didn't take it seriously.
Tang Yan didn't even look for Shen Lang because of this. She might not know it yet, or she wouldn't care if she knew it. There are too many scandals among celebrities.
The pay for "Journey to the West: The Three Strikes of the White Bone Demon" was not high, which was under control. It is normal to have a sequel, but "From Macau 3" is the opposite.
The sequel of this movie is quite dangerous. The box office seems to be not low, but it is difficult to make back the investment so far.
You see, what kind of people are the actors? The first one to bear the brunt is Chow Yun-fat. His pay is really calculated according to Hollywood, 5 million US dollars.
Especially since this is a sequel, the first two "From Macau" movies have made money, and it is necessary for the sequel to have a higher pay than the normal pay.
Just like the sequel of "Detective Chinatown", nowadays, Baoqiang and Shen Lang's pay must be increased by about 10 million on top of the normal pay.
Then there is Zha Zha Hui, his pay is clearer. He raised his pay to 20 million because of the big sales of "From Macau 2".
Then there is the God of Songs. His status is there, how can his pay be low? What's more, there is also King Liu, who has invested a little, but his pay cannot be low either.
As for the rest, they are all familiar faces, Liu Jialing, Chun Ge, most of the investment in this movie was spent on the salary, 100 million is not enough.
Of course, according to the current box office trend, it is no problem to make a profit, but the sequel will be difficult. If this movie breaks 1 billion, who would not want to increase the salary for the next one?
This is the actor's idea, but for the capital, no matter how good the box office is, it will not earn as much as the actors, what's the point.
Especially the "Macau Wind and Cloud" series is the main focus of Chow Yun Fat. In addition to his salary, he also wants a share of the box office. This is completely working for him. The problem is that his current appeal has been declining year by year.
There is another reason. The reputation is bad. Now this series of movies is full of complaints, and it is difficult to follow up.
Today is the fourth day of the Chinese New Year. Although there may be a wave of box office in the evening, looking at the current trend, except for "The Mermaid", all are falling.
This is also the evidence that many people think that it can surpass the box office of "My Girlhood". "The Mermaid" is predicted to be 250 million today, which is not worse than yesterday. Now it has broken 1 billion, and the main point is rapid.
Shen Lang studies the box office of movies and occasionally communicates with the editor. People often ask him about his ideas. "Sewing Machine Band" must have more exchanges in the post-production.
Although Shen Lang has a finished product, he suddenly took it out and had to explain it. It is better to edit it according to the finished product.
The editing is also quite curious. This director has his own opinions. In fact, editing is not as difficult as imagined. The difficulty lies in the entanglement. Should this be kept? Is this connected with the previous one? But Shen Lang's is definitely fast.
As for Lin Fengxia and Yang Mi's mother, women just chat, and they can chat about family matters. Shen Lang has a discussion about the topic now, which is Tong Liya. Yes, his sister in the play
On January 30th, at the end of last month, Tong Liya was shipped.
