In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 916: Breaking One Billion Is a Foregone Conclusion!

Although he 'didn't know' which movie Gao Fenfen was talking about,... Chen Xi guessed it should be "1942"...

Not only was "1942" not a hit, it also caused the stock price of Huayi Brothers to plummet - causing Huayi Brothers' market value to evaporate by 2.3 billion in one week, and the stock price once fell to the limit.

After "囧囧" was released, "1942" continued to plummet in terms of its schedule and attendance...

Even if Huayi made an announcement, "The cost of "1942" is more than 150 million yuan, and internal expectations are that the final box office revenue of this movie may be between 400 million and 500 million yuan, and there is still a high probability of making a profit!" ’

Even Huang Zhongjun said that "120 million in the first week is basically in line with the forecast"...

Make it clear, be tough to the end!

It’s useless…

There was "Boyen Pi" in the past, "囧囧" in the back, and there was also a sub-market of "Swordsmanship"

Oh, it has been 20 days since "Arcade" was released, with a cumulative box office of 287 million. As a small-cost avant-garde comedy, this result is dazzling enough...

However, after "囧" was released, the film schedule of "Arrogance" was directly cut down to only 5%...

"Thailand" is a comedy!

"The number one comedy film of the year!" This is the title given to "囧" by the media.

"The first comedy film of the year, "囧", supervised and produced by Shen Xudong, directed by Xu Zheng, and co-starring Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo, was released nationwide at 0:00 on the 6th. It earned 39 million box office on the first day of release... setting a new record for domestic comedy.

The film's first-day box office is the highest-grossing domestic comedy in the past decade. "

"'Lost in Thailand' exceeded 100 million in a single day, a miraculous movie!"

It does work wonders!

You must know that "Wolong" is so incredibly popular, the highest number in a single day is only 96 million...

After hanging up the phone, Gao Fenfen said cheerfully: "It's really like what Xudong said, the time has come for movies to make big money!"

"Well..." Chen Xi also nodded: "And several actors are also very enthusiastic... I heard that I ran to Love Cinema yesterday for 12 days."

"Give them 30% investment share..."

"Did Xudong say anything?"

"No... I just called him. His assistant director answered the phone and said he was filming..."

Gao Fenfen sighed: "This guy is too calm!" Chen Xi waved his hand: "He made hundreds of millions of dollars relying on "The Hunger Games"..."

Gao Fenfen suddenly thought of something: "...By the way, Xudong sent me a message and asked me to disclose the investment details of "Thailand" on the company's official website, especially the investment shares of the leading actors and the remuneration... Do you know what this means? ?"

Chen Xi nodded: "I know this. I read the discussions on the Internet. Many people are concerned about the remuneration of Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang..."

"Then...should it be announced?"

"Don't be so detailed, just disclose the investment share!"

"Well...I'll let them do it..."

"I asked the publicity department to write a few articles..."

"good…"

"囧囧" is the sequel to "囧囧路", with a total cost of 38 million, of which the three leading actors were all paid 2 million...

It's definitely lower than the market price.

This remuneration is basic remuneration. The remuneration is converted into investment. Xu Zheng is converted into 14% investment, Wang Baoqiang is 9%, and Huang Bo is 7%...

The souls of the "Unfortunate Journey" series are Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo is only the third male lead!

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong is quite curious. In "囧囧", Huang Bo is the third male protagonist, and in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", he is the major supporting role...

Why do you promote 3 billion male protagonists?

Forget about "囧囧", at least he appeared throughout the show. "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"... only played for a few minutes. Does this count as his resistance to the box office?

Why is that smart Wang Chengsi not a billionaire actor?

The movies he has participated in, such as "Charlotte Troubles", "The Shameful Iron Fist", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Detective Chinatown 2", and "Walking Alone on the Moon", together will definitely exceed 10 billion!

Pulling it back, based on the box office calculation of 1 billion, a 47% split is 430 million...

After deducting the cost - "囧" cost 38 million, but there were too many sponsors during the promotion - every poster that exceeded 100 million was sponsored by a brand.

Basically a tie.

This drama can at least make the three of them more than 40 million in profit!

As for Tianmei Media?

After "囧囧" was released, Tianmei's market value experienced a surge, from less than 60 billion before to 65 billion. It is still rising now and should rise to more than 70 billion!

Not only Tianmei Company, but also Jiahe's stock price has experienced a surge.

Of course, Jiahe's stock price has not increased much - Jiahe's market value and stock price have tended to be stable, and it currently ranks first in the entertainment sector of Hong Kong stocks with a market value of HK$42 billion...

The most surprising thing is that Tianmei Games also experienced a surge in growth!

——Tianmei Games went public last month with a market value of 47.5 billion. It disclosed its performance when it went public, of which mobile games accounted for 30%...

In addition, Tianmei Games ranked third, surpassing Sohu Changyou and second to Tencent and NetEase. Last year, its total revenue reached 5.1 billion yuan...

Tianmei Games transformed and focused on mobile games, but the total sales of the mobile game market in 2012 was only 1.2 billion...

Tianmei Games mainly suffered from this loss!

However, the secondary market is very optimistic about the mobile game market. Therefore, Palm Games only has a turnover of 40 million, and the company's market value is as high as 22 billion!

Tianmei Games is developing Tiantian Cool Run, Tiantian Speed ​​​​and Tiantian Love Elimination. It is expected that all three games will be launched next year...

To bring it back, in short, the movie "Thailand" directly caused several major companies under Tianmei to experience a wave of increase in market value, and it was not an ordinary small increase...

Many people have noticed this.

This is probably the fundamental reason why a bunch of capital is scrambling to get out - after all, how much money can a movie make?

"Thailand" stands out...

Yesterday's market price was 120 million, and the movie "囧囧" took 102 million!

Affected by this, theaters have adjusted their film schedules. "囧囧" accounts for 55% of the film schedules, and even 80% of the films in prime theaters!

"Pi" and "1942" plummeted, and the box office worsened. In the stock market, Huayi fell even more miserably.

How did Huayi respond?

He held frequent press conferences and expressed his views several times - "1942" is a profound movie. Listed companies should not only pursue movie box office, but should assume more social responsibility...

What else is said: "The finances of "1942" have been balanced..."

In the first week, "囧囧" had a box office of 350 million - on December 9, it collected another 93 million, bringing the total box office to 350 million!

Many people thought that the working day would plummet, but they thought about it. On December 10, "Thailand" sold 58 million in a single day...

It was released for six days, with a box office of 400 million!

The industry doesn’t know what to say…

I thought Shen Xudong was bragging before, but now his awesomeness is about to come true!

There are hundreds of movies released in China every year, and there are even more that are not released, and only a few dozen of them are profitable. Investors are constantly coming in, naturally not to show their dedication.

So far this year, domestic films that have exceeded RMB 100 million have almost been taken over by Tianmei!

Right now, "囧" has almost become a permanent success when it exceeds one billion...

The most uncomfortable thing is not the Huayi Brothers, but "Blood Drop", "Big Shanghai" and "Zodiac" that will be released later...

Oh, no, the most uncomfortable one should be "The King's Feast"...

This movie was ignored by the audience from beginning to end. Even though Lu Chuan publicly said, "In order to maintain our reputation, we hired a navy army," there were no headlines...

No one cares!

This movie was originally pushed to the Lunar New Year slot to avoid "Painted Skin 2". Before its release, Lu Chuan vowed that "The King's Feast" would have a box office of over 300 million and marry Qin Lan. Then, "The difference between Ang Lee and Feng Xiaogang was 100." Lu Chuan" ridicule and ridicule.

"The King's Feast" was Lu Chuan's self-satisfaction from the beginning: he deliberately did not describe the interesting parts of that period of history, only selected the heavy parts, and delicately portrayed the pain. He just wanted to give you a sense of history, not Historical content…

This kind of movie will only dissatisfy those who understand history and those who don’t!

That's why he had the nerve to say, "Friends in the industry and the media knew that I was going to do this subject, and they all tried to persuade me, saying that I was basically asking for my own death." I understand very well that not only people don’t want to watch costume films, but I don’t want to watch them either. There are too many routines in costume dramas nowadays, and it’s difficult to break through. But there is something about this history that has always excited me, and I wanted to shoot something completely new. ’

Then, Tianmei and Shanghai Film Group announced the creation of a Chu-Han series of movies to compete with the Three Kingdoms series. At the press conference, Chen Xi said this: "Xudong is very interested in the Chu-Han series and feels that there is no way to present it in a movie. It just happened to be made." The team that finished "Three Kingdoms" had no work to do, so they planned the Chu-Han series... Shanghai Film Group also had an idea, so we worked together! ’

Then the reporter at the scene asked: "Why make a costume movie? No one watches costume movies!"

"No one watches costume movies? Who said that? There are 7 movies in the "Three Kingdoms" series, with a box office of 3.2 billion in the mainland and more than 1 billion US dollars in Asia... It mainly depends on who is the producer! If you don't have the ability, you can't be liked by the audience. Just because of the subject matter?'
