Chapter 606 The Birth of a Miracle
At present, Tianmei's movie DVD sales have declined significantly.
Such is the environment!
Only the "Ning Hao Trilogy" set has seen an increase in sales...
Oh, "Ning Hao Trilogy" was released by Zhonglu Warner, and includes three movies: "Incense", "Mongolian Ping Pong" ("Green Grass") and "Crazy Stone"...
After "Stone", Ning Hao gained a lot of fans.
Of course, in terms of total volume, it is not comparable to the best-selling "Old Man"...
One month after the release of "La Qian", sales exceeded 300,000!
It’s already the highest this year…
Among the domestic films in the summer season, the only ones that have sold more than 100,000 discs in terms of disc sales are "The Fuse", "A Better Men", "Life Events", "The Couple", "Blockbuster" and "The Secret"...
Last year's "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" was released and sold more than two million DVDs in two months.
It has only been a year, and 500,000 has become a hurdle!
Haha, it gets harder and harder as time goes by. Even DVD players can no longer be sold, so who will buy discs?
"Then... wouldn't the audio and video copyright be gone?"
Shen Xudong smiled: "It's okay. When the Huli.com video platform comes up, the price of new media copyright, that is, Internet copyright, will definitely exceed that of today's audio and video copyright!"
"...So, you want to build a video platform?"
"I have nothing to do, I just feel that the Internet copyright quotations of those video websites are too low... Let's talk about "Wulin Gaiden", they only quoted 100,000 yuan for 80 episodes. Do you know how much advertising "Wulin Gaiden" has brought to PPTV Income?”
Chen Xi nodded: "...It seems to be 2 million?"
"Well, this is also the reason why other video platforms illegally broadcast "Wulin Gaiden". When the policy is issued, PPTV will be self-sufficient just by distributing copyrights!"
"Then we can also surpass Tudou and Youku?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "You are overthinking. We cannot afford a copyright war..."
"Copyright war?"
"Yes, after the video websites are formalized, the major video websites will definitely compete for the exclusive rights to broadcast. I feel like if they say a million dollars for a single episode, it is possible for anyone!"
"How is it possible...TV stations don't even dare to offer a single episode worth one million!"
"...You will know when the time comes," Shen Xudong acted as a prophet, and then asked Zhao Linhai: "Have you finished writing the script of "The Temptation of Going Home"?"
Hearing this, Zhao Linhai immediately grimaced: "It's written... I originally planned to write it myself, but after reading your script outline, I really couldn't write it... I found five screenwriters to work together to write it."
Chen Xi was curious: "Why can't I continue writing?"
Zhao Lianhai took out a thick script: "You will know after you read it!"
Shen Xudong reminded: "Look at the plot synopsis on the first page..."
Chen Xi opened it and couldn't help but read: "The gentle and virtuous young woman Lin Pinru, after experiencing the betrayal of her friend, the cheating of her husband, the accidental miscarriage, and the misfortune of falling into the water, she met a noble man to help her, and finally grew up to be an independent and strong urban woman, and gained true love." story…'
There is also an inscription written by Shen Xudong: ‘A masterpiece that combines revenge, cancer, falling into the water, miscarriage and other bloody plots! ’
"...Let me go, you actually write this kind of thing?"
Shen Xudong grabbed the script: "The ratings are absolutely high!"
Chen Xi was speechless: "This is too vulgar. When did you become so low?"
"It's not Low, I want to try a bloody drama..."
"Okay, how many episodes?"
"...Episode 65...just use Guo Fan and Su Lun as directors!"
"...Guo Fan...can he do it?"
"It must work!"
…
Well, letting Guo Fan direct "The Temptation of Going Home" is a very high starting point!
Okay, it's just a joke. Shen Xudong can't let Guo Fan film "The Temptation of Going Home" just for his own bad taste...
For a drama like "The Temptation of Going Home", the most suitable director team must be Taiwanese directors like Lin Tianyi and Wang Wei who are good at shooting local dramas!
Lin Tianyi's masterpieces "True Love Without Regrets" and "Million Bride", director Wang Wei's masterpiece "Unforgettable"...
Yes, they are all those large-scale family ethics dramas...
This is called professional dialogue!
As for the actors... Zeng Li will definitely play the leading role, and the male lead... I guess she will have to find Ling Xiaosu, as other actors can't play it that well!
Ai Li... Li Caihua seems to have come to the mainland to develop...
It depends on the situation. Zhao Linhai is in charge of this series, and he can use whomever he wants!
The company also has young women-type actors who we often collaborate with, including Qin Lan and Yan Danchen.
…
This side of the country...it's pretty calm.
"Xiu Chun Knife" crushed the box office twice in a row, "C+ Detective" is indeed no match...
Of course, because the handicap is relatively cold, even if it wins two consecutive championships, the total box office of "Xiu Chun Knife" is 67 million...
Next week, The Sun Also Rises, and the week after that, Make a Famous…
I guess it will be difficult to break 100 million!
However, it has exceeded expectations, and the project of "The Prequel of Xiuchundao" can be approved...
The domestic situation is calm, and a miracle has occurred in the North American market!
At 8 a.m. local time on September 17, Joseph Drake went to work. When he opened the door to his office, he saw Jason Bren making an intense phone call...
Joseph Drake can understand Jason Blum. Since the end of last month, Jason Blum has been busy with the release of "The Ghost Story"...
Well, the distribution company is Lionsgate, but Jason Blum is solely responsible for it-it's going to be a point release and then an expanded release.
To be honest, the situation of "The Ghost Story" is not very good. During the early screenings, the box office of a single theater in 12 theaters was only US$3,000!
Not to mention comparing it with "Blair Witch" of the same type, even "Dead Silence" which was released at the same time is far inferior!
Oh, "Dead Silence" is the first horror film directed by director James Wan after joining Universal. It cost US$20 million...
The first weekend box office was only 6.8 million~
It is obviously a failure, but it has surpassed "The Ghost Story"...
Subsequently, "The Ghost Story" was expanded to 33 theaters, with a box office of US$6,000 per theater...
There are 160 theaters, and the box office of a single theater exceeds 10,000!
Last week, there were 760 stores, and the box office of a single venue still exceeded 10,000...
Everyone knows that "The Ghost Story" was a success - the $20 million in promotional expenses was not in vain!
This week, "The Ghost Story" was screened in 1,945 venues!
"The Ghost Story" is Jason Blum's first project after joining Fantastic Studios...
Joseph Drake made a cup of coffee before sitting down. Jason Blum hung up the phone, rushed to him, and shook his shoulders excitedly: "It was successful. We had a box office of 22 million US dollars last weekend..."
Well, during the fourth weekend of its screening, "The Ghost Story" soared to a box office of US$22 million. After 24 days of screening, it climbed to the top of the box office chart, with a total box office of over US$60 million!
It's a miracle.
Joseph Drake was also very happy: "...really...congratulations!"
"...Congratulations should be given to Shen, let's give him a call!"
"There's jet lag, it should be early morning over there..."
Jason Blum was already a little crazy: "So what in the early morning? A production of 17,000 US dollars was exchanged for 60 million US dollars... a work that is very likely to break 100 million dollars. Do you think he will be unhappy to hear such news?"
"...Okay, then you fight!"
