In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 912 Results on the First Day? (14)

That night, Shen Xudong announced on Weibo that he had reached new contracts with major theater chains.

The stepped share is divided according to the number of movie viewers, with 12 million moviegoers as the definition standard. If it exceeds 12 million, it will be divided at 45:55; if it exceeds 25 million, it will be split at 47:53; for 40 million moviegoers, it will be divided according to 49:51 Separate accounts…

12 million moviegoers are basically equivalent to a box office of 500 million.

In addition, he announced that "the ticket prices for Lunar New Year movies will definitely not increase", and also announced that "囧囧" will be released on December 5th - stop pretending, I am going to snipe "1942"...

This division refers to the final division, that is to say, once the number of movie viewers exceeds 12 million, the division will be based on 45:55, not the part exceeding 12 million.

It’s different from Huayi’s step-by-step accounting-for Huayi Brothers’ movies, the box office for less than 300 million yuan is divided into 43:57, the box office for more than 300 million yuan is divided into 45:55, and the box office for more than 800 million yuan is divided into 47: ∶53 divided.

However, after Xudong announced the results of the agreement, major media outlets concentrated on reporting the news that "the distributor and the theaters have reached an agreement", and all the movie fans who paid attention to the Lunar New Year movie breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, they don’t care about the split. What they care about is whether there are good movies to watch during the Lunar New Year and whether ticket prices will increase...

The cinemas were satisfied and said in an interview: The reason why we agreed to Tianmei Media's agreement is because they are willing to consider it from the perspective of the cinemas. You have to make the cinemas feel that you are taking 2 cents out of my pocket, but You can make me earn 2 yuan. If other people’s movies can sell well, the theater chain can also make money!

As for Shen Xudong, he continues to make movies...

For the movie "Love", the original script had no love line, not even a female character. The screenwriters changed it and did not add a love line, but added the role of a female club owner. There were only two scenes and the age requirement was 35 years old. up and down…

Shen Xudong originally wanted to invite Yu Feihong to come over for a guest appearance, but she was filming "The Salt Merchant of the Qing Dynasty" and didn't have time, so he simply asked Zeng Li to come over for a guest appearance.

If you ask people to come over and make guest appearances, you must repay them, at least help them a few times...

This is basic etiquette!

If you say that director Shen Xudong's level is just that, he may accept it happily, but if you say that he has a problem with etiquette, then he will curse!

Not to mention giving everything, but at least sparing no effort...

Zeng Li... is at a disadvantage because she looks like Tsing Yi!

Originally, Chen Xi was prepared to praise her, but she was quite indifferent and didn't have such a strong career ambition...

In the past, when you reached the level of a big vase or a powerful actor, if you wanted to go further, it would be a qualitative leap. Ninety percent of stars were stuck at this level.

This stall can be about awards or blockbuster movies.

Zeng Li doesn’t often appear in movies, and even if she does, she is mostly in supporting roles, so she has never been able to get on the front line...

If you want to be on the front line, in addition to your works, you must also have the ability to continue marketing - you can just rely on fashion, advertising, and scandals to become a front line.

But she didn't like that much.

Let's just focus on TV dramas. Anyway, there are two to three TV dramas every year, mainly family dramas and period dramas...

Anyway, she was quite satisfied with it.

There are famous classmates in the past, and there are young and beautiful newcomers in the future who are eager to try. She can maintain two or three dramas every year, which is already very good, at least she thinks so!

In the second suite of BJ, we also opened a teahouse. In our free time, we drink tea and raise dogs. Life is pretty good...

However, Shen Xudong always felt that since you entered this circle, you must want to get ahead, so he proactively suggested: "How about I ask them to write a script about a brother-brother relationship for you?"

"...I still don't want it anymore. If I'm like this, who can you find to act with me?"

Shen Xudong looked at her and sighed: "Indeed..."

Zeng Li is certainly good-looking, but a little too mature.

She has a typical mature woman appearance.

"I'm pretty good now... I recently took on a script called "Parental Love," which I think is pretty good..."

Shen Xudong was surprised: ""Parents' Love" came to you?"

"...Well," Zeng Li was a little embarrassed when talking about this matter: "They originally wanted to find Mei Ting. I liked the script so much, so I reduced my salary by half and took the initiative to find the director to recommend myself. Then they used Me!"

"Good scripts are always stolen..."

"...I just feel sorry for Mei Ting..."

"What's there to be sorry for? She doesn't lack for scenes!"

After chatting for a while and checking the time, Shen Xudong simply picked her up and started another round of artistic exchange...

"1942" is a good movie, but it is not a blockbuster movie!

On the 29th, "1942" was released, with a box office of more than 20 million on its first day, which was not as good as director Feng Xiaogang's previous "Cell Phone 2", "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown", "Tangshan Earthquake" and "If You Are the One 2".

Those titles all broke 30 million on their first day!

What's even worse is that "Life of Pi", which was released for a week, relied on its strong reputation. Although the film schedule was greatly reduced and the IMAX version was offline, it still collected 14 million on the 29th...

"Jiang Hu Lun Sword" recorded nearly 8 million...

The worst thing is "The King's Feast", which only had 7 million on its first day. It didn't even beat "The Legend of Jianghu" which was released for 8 days...

As for "The Year in a Hurry", it has been in theaters for 15 days, and the single-day box office has already dropped below 3 million. With "1942" and "The King's Feast", Pai Pai You was cut to the point where only less than 10 yuan of love is left. %, a single daily revenue of 1.02 million...

It doesn't matter, anyway, "The Year in a Hurry" has already passed the peak viewing period, with a cumulative box office of 320 million, which has already achieved its goal!

Back to the topic, "1942" had an unfavorable opening on the first day and had a very bad impact. First of all, the theaters adjusted their film schedule - although the first day did not determine life or death, the film schedule for the second day had been adjusted: "One Day" The film schedule of "942" was deducted by five points, and it was allocated to "Boyen" and "Swordsman"...

This is not the most terrible thing - "1942" was released, and Huayi's stock price dropped by the limit!

According to analysts' opinions: If it is a "small film", it may not have much impact on the Huayi Brothers' performance, but "1942" is a "blockbuster" that the Huayi Brothers have worked hard to create, and it is an annual masterpiece. It is related to the Huayi Brothers. Annual revenue.

——Since Huayi Brothers had previously expressed their confidence in the film’s profitability, the capital market’s box office expectations were 800 million yuan. When the first-day results were released, it was a miss!

The poor performance of "1942" directly led to the secondary market no longer trusting the Huayi Brothers, which is understandable.

Then the next day, the 30th, "1942" took in 30.5 million at the box office, "Pi" took in 22 million, and "Jianghu" exceeded 10 million...

On the third day, "1942" took in 41 million at the box office, "Pi" took in 40.2 million, and "Arcade of Swords" took in 21 million...

On the fourth day, "Pi" directly surpassed "1942". The former took 38 million at the box office, while the latter only took 34 million.

As of December 3, the weekly box office results have been released, with "1942" 124 million in its first week...
