Chapter 1087 Go Home and Take a Look
Loach breathed a sigh of relief. The things arranged by the team leader personally had never failed.
This was a very good start, but the first day was because of their publicity. The next step was to see the actual performance of this weekend and the follow-up.
If the follow-up can remain stable or even grow, then this movie can be considered a real success.
Chu Lingyun quickly got the box office data in Japan, and Loach sent a telegram himself.
Less than two million, not high but not low, barely within Chu Lingyun's expectations.
After all, it was a masterpiece that was passed down in film history, and he did not interfere too much. If it really got worse, it could only mean that the director was not found correctly. After all, he did not know who the director was back then.
Loach valued the box office, while Chu Lingyun valued word of mouth. This needed to wait a little longer.
On Sunday, Loach got the box office for Saturday.
Three million and one hundred and twenty thousand.
Seeing this number, Loach was completely relieved. The box office on Saturday was more than 50% higher than that on Friday, indicating that word of mouth fermentation had worked. Many people were optimistic about this film and introduced it to people around them.
Loach confirmed this through the newspaper.
In the past two days, film critics have given this movie very high praise, accompanied by some criticisms, saying that the princess could not be like this, and that the loach did not care about them at all. There are people all over the world who say that grapes are sour because they can't eat them.
What the loach wants is the box office. The box office in two days has exceeded 5 million, which is a very good sign.
According to today's trend, it is very likely to exceed 8 million in the first three days. There are no strong movies released this week, and their box office can rank first.
The film company is also holding a meeting to discuss.
The momentum of the movie is good, and it has started well. Next, it will be released in more theaters. Next week, they will release in more than 5,000 theaters.
According to the trend of the first three days, there will be no problem with the box office exceeding 10 million next week.
Similar to the box office of over 100 million in later generations, today's movies that can exceed 10 million are considered very good movies. Their movie exceeded 10 million in a week, which is definitely the best of the best.
It's a pity that it didn't break the first week, which is a bit regrettable.
The weekend data will be released soon.
3.06 million, a little lower than Saturday, but it does not affect their top spot in this week's box office.
The first week's box office was 8.16 million, and the production and promotion costs were 2 million. According to the more than 30% production share, they have already recovered their investment, and the box office every day is the profit.
Three days later, major newspapers were evaluating the film.
There were more good reviews, saying that this was a great movie, and Ben He performed very well in the movie. She became the most beautiful goddess in the hearts of many boys overnight.
This point was indeed agreed by many boys.
Ben He's purity made many boys excited, and even girls couldn't refuse it. They also liked Ben He very much. Ben He instantly gained a lot of fans.
Became popular overnight.
According to Chu Lingyun's instructions, Niu Qiu began to take Ben He to TV programs, wearing her costumes in the play, so that more people could learn about the movie through TV.
The second week's box office was soon released.
This week's box office will not be bad, even better than the first week. After the word-of-mouth publicity in the past few days, no matter how the newspapers evaluated it, the exposure of this movie has increased, and it is a mainstream love movie, which is very popular among young people.
The second week's box office was more than 19 million.
An average of more than 2 million per day is definitely an impressive achievement, and it continues to occupy the top spot on the box office list.
The production cost is 1.5 million, and the publicity is 500,000. Now the total box office is 27 million. This is already a big money-making movie.
Now it has made five times the money. The 300,000 that Niu Qiu and Shen Hanwen each invested at the beginning is enough for them to recover 1.5 million.
And this is only the second week. According to past experience, the next movie will at least have this number of box office until it is released.
It is equivalent to the two of them making millions of dollars with the help of this movie.
Completely huge profits.
Niu Qiu is not bad. He took advantage of the opportunity of the explosion of the TV market to make a lot of money. His own assets have exceeded 10 million. Shen Hanwen is still in Japan, and his assets have skyrocketed to 4 million.
It is completely unexpected wealth.
These 4 million are US dollars, not the banknotes issued by the Fruit Party.
The purchasing power is stronger.
The movie was a great success, and Ben He became busy. She is the heroine and the soul of the movie. It feels good to become famous overnight. Chu Lingyun dug her into his agency in advance, which is equivalent to making another fortune.
Through Ben He, he can make a lot of money in the future.
Chu Lingyun is in Japan and doesn't care about the things here. Even if the box office exceeds 100 million, it is just an increase in wealth for him.
However, this movie has a great impact on other film companies.
As the number of people watching the movie increases, the reputation continues to rise. Many people who have seen the movie think that this is a great movie, no less than the previous "Gone with the Wind". Some media people say that Ben He has no acting skills and is a vase. He was also threatened by fans writing letters.
Some even sent razor blades and bullets.
The enthusiasm of fans is very crazy.
Niqiu was very happy. It turned out that good movies are so profitable. In the future, he will also make movies if he has the opportunity, and he will drag the team leader along. If the team leader says that it can be launched, he will do it. As long as the team leader has a little objection, he will not want it no matter how great the temptation is.
Niqiu is self-aware. He knows only a little about movies. He was just joking before. The team leader is playing big.
When the movie was finally released, the total box office revenue exceeded 60 million, which was a fraction.
At the same time, they temporarily became the box office champion of this year.
Chu Lingyun doesn't know the actual box office in history, but this box office must be higher than before. After all, he used a lot of modern publicity methods.
Including newspapers.
There are many trolls who arrange for people to publish them. Anyway, publishing these articles is easy and doesn’t cost a lot of money. The main purpose is to promote Benhe.
Indeed, many people go there just for Ben He.
After the movie became popular, Benhe's posters sold even more hotly, almost as many as they printed were sold. These posters brought them millions of dollars in additional income.
In the end, Loach had to lament that it is indeed easy for rich people to make money.
Even if ordinary people want to make this kind of money, they don't have the capital, let alone the money they can afford to lose. Unlike their team leader, who is very wealthy, even if the movie is completely lost, it won't hurt him even a hair.
Also famous is Chu Lingyun's film company.
With a big tree at its back to enjoy the shade, a company that was just registered has achieved such a terrifying box office for its first film, and its capital is really strong.
There are also screenwriters and directors who are equally popular.
Chu Lingyun did not lose money to them, and paid them their share in time according to the contract, and the two of them also made a lot of money.
For Chu Lingyun, these are just small amounts of money. It is crucial to maintain the company's good reputation, so that in the future, we can cooperate with more good directors and works and earn more money.
Now that we are undermining them a little and ruining our reputation, who among these directors and screenwriters will be willing to take the initiative to collaborate with them in the future?
Not only give, but also give more, buy horse bones with thousands of gold, and set an example first.
Chu Lingyun didn't care, but Ni Loach was very excited. At his home in San Francisco, he took Lily to calculate together to see how much he was worth now.
They haven't received their share of the movie yet, so they're not in a hurry. Niyi knows that the team leader won't be able to withhold the money.
Of the 60 million movie box office, their final share was 22 million.
Excluding the bonuses given to film company employees, as well as the directors and screenwriters' share, the final amount in their hands was 18 million.
He and Shen Hanwen each received a 15% share, which means they each received 2.7 million.
Nowadays, his TV factory has an annual profit of five million, and his TV series and movie company can also bring in an annual profit of two million.
If there is still time this year, they can ask the team leader for his opinion and collaborate or make a small-production film alone. This year, they can earn more than 10 million.
Dollar.
After calculating the results, Loach and Lily both laughed and were very excited.
This is ten million US dollars. If we work hard in the future, we can have this amount every year. Doesn’t it mean that in ten years, they will become billionaires in the United States?
Billionaires, whether they are now or in the future, are definitely the kind with high gold content.
Besides, he is in the United States and earns US dollars, which is even better.
"Honey, let's go look at houses tomorrow and buy a big villa."
Ni Loach said enthusiastically, the house they live in now is not small, about 200 square meters, very spacious, but it is still a bit far behind the big villa.
"Okay, let's go see it tomorrow."
Lily nodded fiercely. She was the same as Loach in one thing. She took money a little seriously, but she was not greedy. They could distinguish the importance.
When Baihe completed the sanctions mission, Chu Lingyun gave her a lot of bonuses. She would rather not take it and stay in the military as an agent. Her idea at the time was very simple. She just couldn't stand the Japanese and wanted to serve the country.
It was right for her to stay, otherwise how could she marry the right person?
In fact, she and Ni Loach like money, which is related to their previous life encounters. Ni Loach was a gangster in his early days and suffered a lot when he was young. He is smart and understands that just relying on himself to get by is not a way out, so he finds ways to spend money to give himself away. Entered the security office.
Later, the Military Intelligence Department selected operational team members. He was keenly aware of the future power of this department, so he spent money, and finally got lucky and was selected.
He didn't have much education and was assigned to the action team. He didn't care about it, but this assignment was the beginning of changing his destiny.
His childhood experience made him understand that one cannot live without money. He likes money and values it, but he is also smart and will take what he should and never touch anything he shouldn't.
Not to mention Lily, she is a dancer.
She entered the dance hall at a young age. After being in the dance hall for so many years, she has seen many human relationships, and her sense of security comes from money.
The couple is a match made in heaven, and now they are even more loving.
It can be said that both people have achieved good results.
It's October, the first day.
Chu Lingyun got up in the morning and looked out the window. It had been four years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the founding war, the country was about to begin a period of rapid development.
The development in the past few years has been really good, and many things have been created from scratch.
In the new world, China will become more and more powerful. It is rapidly catching up in all aspects. The lives of its people are getting better and better. The situation of not having enough to eat and people starving to death will no longer happen again.
If it does happen, it will be news, and many people will be held accountable.
"Chu Yuan, National Day is here, do you want to go home and visit?"
While eating breakfast, Chu Lingyun suddenly asked. Chu Yuan raised his head and nodded involuntarily.
If you say you don't want to go back, you're definitely lying. The last time I went back was during the ceremony, and it had already been four years in the blink of an eye.
"I'll take you back after the New Year."
Chu Lingyun smiled and replied that, like Chu Yuan, he had not been back home for four years.
During the war some time ago, Chu Lingyun was busy raising all kinds of supplies for the organization and helping the soldiers on the front line. He had no time to go home. Now that the war is over, although the United States and the organization are still hostile, no one can stop him from going back.
Xu Zhanli can go to Hong Kong through other channels, let alone him.
"Okay."
"Send a telegram to Mr. Ke later and tell him that we will go back after the New Year."
Chu Lingyun is not an ordinary person. He will report in advance and make full preparations when he goes back. This time he will not only bring Chu Yuan, but also Fang Shiyi.
Fang Shiyi has not been home for a long time.
Chu Lingyun believes that he also misses home very much.
Chen Zhanli cannot be taken now, let alone Yu Huaqiang and others. He will take them back when he has the opportunity in the future. Chu Lingyun understands the thoughts of the lurking comrades. No matter what is happening now, he will make them appear in front of his comrades in the future.
"Yes, I will send a telegram now."
"Three people, and Xiao Fang."
Chu Lingyun reminded, and Chu Yuan nodded heavily. He understood that Fang Shiyi's sacrifice was greater. Since liberation, he has not returned once.
Even before, he went to Nanjing every time he went back, and never went back to his hometown to see his comrades.
In the capital, Mr. Ke quickly received Chu Yuan's report.
After the New Year, Chu Lingyun, Chu Yuan and Fang Shiyi will come back secretly. It won't take too long. They will go to Shanghai first, and then go to Nanjing and other places.
They can't use their original appearance, but Chu Lingyun's makeup skills are amazing. Even if they really go back to their hometown, they will not be recognized.
Mr. Ke quickly wrote a secret telegram.
It's a good thing that Chu Lingyun is back. He absolutely welcomes it. This time he will go to Shanghai in person to greet him, but his whereabouts also need to be kept secret. There are many people watching him now.
Recently, he has discovered the secret agents sent by the United States.
These secret agents were captured by him, and the Americans had no way to deal with them.
Now he is the number one intelligence officer watched by the Americans, and he can't be careless in doing anything.
Fortunately, he can disguise himself and won't let people know his real whereabouts.
"Lingyun, you are finally back."
In Taipei, the eldest son personally came to pick up Chu Lingyun at the airport. Chu Lingyun went to Japan to handle things. The eldest son knew that Chu Lingyun had a layout in Japan, and it was not small.
This layout did him no harm. On the one hand, it strengthened his voice in Japan. On the other hand, he would be able to cooperate better with Japan after he came to power in the future.
He is now focusing on development, and other aspects are temporarily put aside.
But it does not mean that he does not fight for power. When it is time to suppress opponents, he will not be soft-hearted.
