Chapter 1033 1.9 Billion on the First Day (44)
The reason why Shen Xudong is unwilling to deal with Yang Zi and Huang Shengyi is not only because he dislikes them, but also because they have an unusual relationship with Shi Jianxiang.
After Yangzi met Shi Jianxiang, he quickly established a publicity company "Huo Entertainment". In addition to promoting himself and his wife Huang Shengyi, Huo Entertainment also promoted movies invested by Shi Jianxiang.
However, Yangzi can't do anything except make money...
He is serious about making money, and he is also good at it. He spent more than 30 million to hire Han Shanping to be the producer of the movie "The Kingdom of the Qing Dynasty"; he spent 55 million to hire Li Lianlian to star in "The Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai"
12 million to buy a domain name that has been registered by someone else...
These three items add up to a total of 97.38 million.
Of course, these three items only exist in the draft. As for whether they will be successful or not, it’s hard to say!
However, both parties involved, Han Shanping and Li Lianjie, said they had no knowledge and did not take any money...
Where did the money go?
If the contract is true and the response of the parties is true, then there is only one possibility: the party who signed the contract cleverly made up a name and used the names of Han Shanping and Li Lianlian to steal 85 million...
Then Shi Jianxiang ran away...
This money…
Anyway, he said he was going back, but who knows?
Hey, it’s all a bad debt!
In fact, the Chinese film industry, with the explosive growth of theater lines, has also ushered in a leap in the box office.
Ten years ago, a box office of 30 million yuan was considered a success. Nowadays, there are many movies with a box office of over 100 million yuan. Now, a box office of over 1 billion yuan is considered a hit!
Capital will definitely come to an end...
The close integration of movies and capital will inevitably push movies into a new "golden period."
This thing belongs to objective laws...
With the "IP + Star" and "Big Data + Star" boom in content production, IPOs of film and television companies are attracting money, there are dazzling film and television mergers and acquisitions in the primary and secondary markets, and cross-border investment in movies, etc.
The latest ones include guaranteed distribution, box office securitization, and crowdfunding film financial methods are being launched...
Many people say that capital changes the ecology of the film industry!
What kind of industrial ecology is there?
Things like movies are always shot, put in theaters, and then the funds are recovered...
Later, the "salary limit order" was implemented, policies were strictly controlled, and capital ebbed. Financing of film projects became difficult, and then... the quality of the films improved instead!
…
From the crew of "Northeast Sherlock Holmes", Shen Xudong chatted about the creative plan with Han Shanping, who came to visit the cast.
"The Northeast is a very suitable place for literary and artistic creation. The "laid-off wave" in the old industrial base in the 1990s is called collective trauma, the modern dilemma of industrial civilization. I remember that the background of "The Steel Piano" was the laid-off wave... To be honest, I was I think if there are more movies on this kind of subject, it will definitely become a trend..."
After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "When people in the Northeast are laid off, millions of people in the three northeastern provinces are laid off, and they are all young and strong laborers. This is a terrible thing!"
Han Shanping nodded, and then said: "I admit that this is a good subject, but the box office is not good..."
"There is no logical relationship between whether a movie is of high quality and its market popularity and box office level... "The Piano" has no star cast and very few promotional resources..." paused. , Shen Xudong said: "This kind of subject matter is suitable for filming into a TV series. What kind of genre is suitable for adapting into a movie? The "Two Kings Case" and the "March 8th Case" that caused a sensation in the Northeast in the 1980s made the shadow of crime a generational concern. Collective memory...this subject is suitable for a movie!”
"You mean crime movies?"
‘Yes… The background of “Undocumented Crime” is also the Northeast. ’
"You will be responsible for supervising the production..."
"Worried about scale?"
"Well... I'm all staring at PPTV now, but I can't be caught with a sore leg at this time..."
"Okay," Han Shanping responded, and asked by the way: "I heard that PPTV's current number of VIP paying people has exceeded 60 million? Is it true?"
Shen Xudong scratched his head: "It should be more than that..."
"more than?"
"I see that many people in our crew are watching "The Princess's Promotion" and "The Dark One"..."
"I heard that Tencent Video and Youku are preparing for big IP series... Aren't you nervous?"
Shen Xudong shrugged: "What should I be nervous about? It's the radio and television system that should be nervous, right? PPTV's advertising revenue soared 300% last year. These advertisements were originally placed on TV stations... In addition, "Dad, Where Are We Going" alone won the first place We received 140 million in celebrity fees, and at this price, a prime-time variety show on a first-tier TV station is no more than that!"
Han Shanping was speechless... Zhao Benshan knocked on the door and asked for dinner, and the two left the room...
…
The pre-sales for "The Sun is Fierce" were 54 million, and Maoyan's sales were almost 10 million...
In fact, "Sunshine is Strong" does not need to be watered down - the theater directly gave 60% of the film schedule!
Hollywood blockbuster treatment.
There are actually competitors in the same schedule, such as "Edge of Tomorrow", "Maleficent", including "Overheard 3" which has been released for ten days...
The first two are Hollywood blockbusters, "Edge of Tomorrow" starring Tom Cruise, and "Maleficent" starring Angelina Jolie.
"Edge of Tomorrow" will also be released on June 6. Unfortunately, when it comes to "Sunshine", the film schedule is only 24%, and "Maleficent" will not be released until next week.
As for "Overheard 3"...
Before the movie was released, Yu Dong vowed, "Start with 600 million!" ’
He feels that "Overheard 3" is a brand new and upgraded version - it brings together Louis Koo, Lau Ching Wan, Daniel Wu, Zhou Xun, Fang Zhongxin, Michelle Ye, Huang Lei, Eric Tsang, Ng Meng-tat...
But this movie was poorly shot!
The reputation was so bad that within ten days of its release, the box office was only 230 million...
It can be said that "Sunshine is Strong", the right place and the right people came together at the right time, and the box office on the first day was 191 million...
This result directly shattered all records...
The previous record was 137 million set by "The Return of the Great Sage" in a single day on the third day of the Lunar New Year!
What's even more surprising is that June 6th is a Friday, which means that tomorrow, "Sunny" will definitely set a new box office record...
——The reputation of "The Sun is Fierce" is very good...
Douban score: 8.6 points…
Check out Douban’s comments: “Finally, I’m waiting for Master Xing and Uncle Da to collaborate again. In fact, after watching the trailer, I knew that this was not a new drama, but I was still moved – maybe this is my youth!”
"The actors in this movie actually include most of Zhou Xingchi's partners who have already had a falling out. Seeing Zhou Xingchi on the screen with gray hair on his temples, bowing his head and apologizing "I'm sorry", I feel inexplicably sad..."
"Semi-autobiographical, Zhou Xingchi apologizes to everyone before him in the form of a movie...It is basically written by Shen Xudong and is a love letter written by fans to their idols..."
"When I saw Ng Man Tat's words, 'Then I'll leave now, let's work together again when we have the opportunity.', I burst into tears..."
Shen Xudong also posted on Weibo, ""The Sun is Ferocious", Ng Mang-tat + Stephen Chow, fans' wishes come true +1... There is another wish that will also come true. It is being implemented, so keep it secret for now! ’
