Chapter 411 "Goblin" Set to Release

"Brother, the box office of Painted Skin 2 broke 50 million on the first day, and reached 120 million in the first three days of the weekend. The results are better than those of Along with the Gods. It's a big hit!"

Listening to the excited voice on the other end of the phone, Wu Yuan smiled and shook his head.

He knew the box office results of Painted Skin 2 on the first weekend earlier than Liu Yifei, but he still smiled and said, "It's so amazing. It seems that choosing Director Kai Ge to take over this series is the right choice."

In this life, the box office market of Chinese mainland movies is even better than that of the same period in the previous life, and it has almost doubled.

Take Let the Bullets Fly, which was released in 2010, as an example. The box office of this movie on the first day was 30.18 million, and the box office on the second day exceeded 40 million. The highest single-day box office was 60 million, and the total box office in the first week was about 170.2 million.

And Aftershock, which was released in the same year, had a box office of 36.2 million on the first day, broke 160 million in four days, and a box office of 180 million in the first week (seven days).

It is only 2009 now, and the box office of "Painted Skin 2" broke 50 million on the first day, and the box office of 120 million in three days of the weekend, which is undoubtedly almost doubled compared with the original time and space.

Such a good box office result is of course not only due to the quality of "Painted Skin 2" itself, but more importantly, it is because Wu Yuan has opened up the mainland film market.

Otherwise, according to normal time and space, when "Painted Skin 2" was released in 2012, the box office on the first day could be 70 million, which is even more exaggerated.

But does this mean that "Painted Skin 2" is really better than "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Aftershock" in 2010?

Not necessarily.

The main reason why "Painted Skin 2" can achieve such a good box office result in 2012 is that the film market is bigger, and more people choose to go to the cinema to watch movies, which makes the box office of this movie so good.

Otherwise, Guo Xiaosi's "Tiny Times" would easily have a box office of hundreds of millions. Does it mean that the movie is a masterpiece?

How much box office a movie can get in the end depends on its quality, but more importantly, it depends on whether the movie market is big when it is released. To put it bluntly, it depends on whether the bad money is good.

After Wu Yuan woke up from his dream, his greatest contribution to the Chinese-language film market was not winning several major European awards or shooting many blockbusters in Hollywood.

The greatest contribution he made was to accelerate the development of the mainland film market!

After being stimulated by many excellent movies such as "Your Name", "Painted Skin" and "Gravity", many Chinese people who were not interested in going to the cinema to watch movies were brought into the cinema.

The current domestic film market is about one or two years faster than the original time and space!

Don't underestimate these one or two years!

In 2009, the total box office of mainland movies in the original time and space was only 6.2 billion.

By 2010, this number became 10.172 billion.

In 2012, it even grew to 17 billion!

This is the result of the original time and space. After Wu Yuan came out of nowhere, the total box office of mainland movies has reached 8 billion before the end of this year. There are still Lunar New Year movies released on the 12th, 18th and 28th in the last month. The total box office of mainland China in 2009 is expected to reach 10 billion!

"Along with the Gods" and "Painted Skin 2" are leading the charge!

"The final box office performance of "Along with the Gods" reached 460 million, ranking first in the mainland movie box office rankings this year!"

"It's not even the first place yet. "Painted Skin 2" is released again. With the popularity of the previous work, "Painted Skin 2" looks more powerful than "Along with the Gods". It is possible to break 500 million box office!"

"According to this calculation, this year, our Light and Shadow Times alone may be able to take 1 billion box office, accounting for one eighth of the total box office in the mainland!"

"Although the company does not produce many movies every year, we take the boutique route. One movie is equivalent to ten movies from other film companies!"

Wu Yuan said to Liu Yifei proudly on the phone.

Although Light and Shadow Times only produces three or five movies a year, the quality is high. Excluding unprofitable art films such as "Ocean Heaven", two commercial films alone can earn the company more than 300 million net profit!

In addition to the company's TV series business, it can also earn nearly 100 million a year, and the agent business is becoming more and more one of the biggest money-makers.

Roughly speaking, Guangying Times can earn about 400 million to 500 million a year, and after paying taxes, it can keep 400 million.

Guangying Times' cinema brand does not make much profit, and most of the profit has been reinvested in the expansion of cinemas.

The mainland film market can develop better than the original time and space, and Wu Yuan's Guangying Times cinema has also contributed a lot to it.

Otherwise, there will not be enough cinemas to support it. Even if the audience wants to watch, they can't find a place to watch it!

In the past two years, the income of Guangying Times Cinema has basically been used to continue to expand. At present, more than 60 cinemas and 16 franchised cinemas have been opened in China, and the pace of expansion is still continuing.

As for Guangying Kuaibo, this thing is still a money-losing business. It has to spend tens of millions a year to maintain the servers needed for domestic site operations.

After building sites in South Korea, Southeast Asia, and Japan, this money will have to be doubled.

Wu Yuan is already arranging financing for Guangying Kuaibo. Although he has made a lot of money, it is impossible for Guangying Kuaibo to get its money back in the short term. It is not possible for him to keep investing in this bottomless pit alone.

But when Wu Yuan thought of Guangying Kuaibo, he thought of something that the company told him when they called him two days ago.

"Xixi, the post-production of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" has been completed, and the company plans to premiere it on New Year's Day, January 1st."

"tvN and Guangying Kuaibo will be broadcast simultaneously. It will be broadcast in the form of Friday dramas for the time being, with two episodes broadcast every Friday, and it will be broadcast in two months!"

In South Korea, dramas broadcast on Mondays and Tuesdays are called Monday and Tuesday dramas, dramas broadcast on Wednesdays and Thursdays are called Wednesday and Thursday dramas, dramas broadcast on Fridays with two episodes in a row are called Friday dramas, and dramas broadcast on Saturdays and Sundays are called weekend dramas.

Among the above broadcast methods, except for Friday dramas, which are broadcast in two episodes, the others are broadcast in one episode every day.

And each episode is about an hour long, and the length of the episode is controlled at around 20 episodes.

In addition, there is another form of TV drama broadcast in South Korea, which is broadcast every day from Monday to Friday, and each episode is 30 minutes long. Most of them are indoor situation dramas or emotional dramas.

This kind of daily drama can be shot for hundreds of episodes, just like the foot binding of an old lady, it is long and smelly.

The broadcasting method and type of this kind of Korean TV series are actually learned from RB, and even the name is learned from RB.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Since "Goblin" is a drama that is going to enter the Korean market, Wu Yuan must of course arrange the broadcast of this drama according to the Korean TV drama broadcasting rules.

"Okay, no problem." Liu Yifei's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother, then do we have to go to Korea for promotion?"

"Yes." Wu Yuan sighed.

Originally, he planned to finish the post-production of "Interstellar" at one time after coming to the United States, and he would not do anything else.

But the broadcast and promotion of "Goblin" is very important to the company's next development strategy, and he has to cooperate with the promotion.

"Let's meet in Seoul at that time!" (End of this chapter)
