During the Lunar New Year period at the end of 2004, in addition to many foreign blockbusters being released and sweeping a lot of wealth in China, there were also two domestically produced films that set off a whirlwind in China.

The first one is, of course, Feng Xiaogang, who has dominated Chinese New Year movies in China for many years. With "A World Without Thieves", he swept the box office of 120 million in a short period of time.

Compared with later generations, some low-cost love movies can earn hundreds of millions at the box office. In 2004, when the Chinese film industry was not very developed, it was indeed a very scary figure to achieve such results.

If we put it in previous years, such a result would definitely become the most popular movie of that year and a symbol of the year.

However, in 2004, it could only be ranked second!

Because less than half a month after the release of "A World Without Thieves", another movie came out, with a more powerful attitude, ruthlessly crushed "A World Without Thieves" and became the biggest winner of Chinese-language films in 2004.

.

This movie is the classic "Kung Fu" that Stephen Chow spent three years creating!

Although the film "Kung Fu" was released nearly half a month later than "A World Without Thieves", it came from behind in terms of results. On the first day, it scored 1.5 times the score of "Kung Fu", which is infinitely close to

The first-day box office of 10 million shocked the whole of China!

Then, because the quality of the film "Kung Fu" is very high, the audiences who have watched it have given it very high praise. Word of mouth has spread to each other, which has brought a lot of free money to this film, but it is even more effective.

publicity.

Reputation is undoubtedly one of the most important factors for a film. Having a good reputation is the beginning of good results!

In the next month or two, the performance of "Kung Fu" remained the same as on the first day of its release, without any decline. On the contrary, as time passed, it became even stronger, making the film's total box office even higher.

!

Of course, during this period of time, "Kung Fu" could achieve such good results without leaving the film's creative team such as Zhou Xingchi, Liang Xiaolong, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Hua and Yang Mi, who continued to promote it across the country day after day.

the result of.

As for Menjie...

Although the crew of "Myth" is also very busy filming, compared to Yang Mi and others, it is extremely happy and saves a lot of time.

Finally, with the passage of time, two full months later, "Kung Fu" was about to be officially canceled. When it left the major theaters, the final box office harvest was announced, which instantly shocked the whole of China.

Got it!

160 million!

The box office revenue was RMB 1.6 billion, which was more than RMB 40 million more than "A World Without Thieves"!

The box office of more than 40 million yuan is more than 30% higher than that of "A World Without Thieves". Naturally, such results will be compared by many media, saying that Zhou Xingchi defeated Feng Xiaogang and so on.

Of course, neither Zhou Xingchi nor Feng Xiaogang paid any attention to this kind of news that was obviously deliberately provocative. If they were really fooled and became angry, they would probably have fallen into the trap of some unscrupulous reporters.

, not to mention that the relationship between Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingchi is pretty good, and it is even less likely that there will be conflicts.

Feng Xiaogang previously made a cameo appearance in "A World Without Thieves", which is irrefutable proof!

What's more, as Feng Xiaogang is now the top director in the mainland, he doesn't have much interest in such temporary comparisons. When the final box office of "Kung Fu" was announced, he even personally carried a flower basket to it.

Zhou Xingchi, as a special guest, attended the entertainment program that Zhou Xingchi and others were recording at that time, which really surprised Men Jie and others!

On the one hand, I was praising Feng Xiaogang for his upright and aboveboard conduct, without any pettiness. Secondly, I was also full of expectations for whether I could cooperate with Feng Xiaogang in the future.

If you can collaborate with such a top director, I believe it would be a very happy thing, right?

"This kind of box office... seems to be the same as what is recorded in the King's system!"

At this moment, other people in the "Myth" crew were filming today's scene, while Menjie was sitting aside, frowning slightly, thinking about something in his heart.

At the beginning, Menjie frowned, but as time passed and thoughts flashed through his mind, his brows gradually relaxed, and he also figured out something.

In the original version of "Kung Fu", the big brother Chen was played by Chen Guokun instead of Menjie. This is the only big difference in "Kung Fu"!

If Chen Guokkun is compared with Menjie before starring in "Kung Fu", Menjie finds that he is indeed weak!

At least, before this, Chen Guokun had played a role in "Shaolin Soccer" and became extremely popular. He was indeed a small hit for a while. Although he has not yet reached the level of a first-line movie star, he is better than the newcomer Men Jie.

I don’t know how many!

Now, the role of Big Brother Chen has been handed over to Men Jie, which will naturally make a large number of Chen Guokun's fans give up on "Kung Fu". Invisibly, this film's box office will also drop by at least 500 to

Between 10 million!

If this is just the case, then the current box office of "Kung Fu" will naturally be unable to reach such a terrifying figure of 160 million. Coincidentally, the appearance of Menjie not only lowered the box office, but also reduced this part.

The gap was made up back!

First of all, when Menjie played the role of Gangster Chen, he was full of majesty and looked like an excellent gangster. This alone attracted a large number of viewers and enhanced the film.

It won a lot of box office.

Then, Menjie also has one of two special skills!

Whim LV2: (Special skill) Cooling time is 30 days. Every time you use the skill, the host's fans can pay attention to the host and be willing to spend money to support the host if the economy allows.

This skill is not as powerful as another special skill, which can directly increase the sales of one of Menjie's works, but it is better because the cooldown time is only 30 days, so it can be used casually!

Although the number of fans of Menjie itself is only a few hundred thousand at best, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat!

Among the more than 200,000 fans, probably about half of them would have known that Menjie's movie "Kung Fu" was about to be released due to the overwhelming publicity, and went to watch it.

With the idea of ​​watching a pirated version, I am not going to go to the cinema to watch the movie.

However, after Menjie used the LV2 whim skill, he was able to increase the number of box office sales by tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands!

Adding the two together, the film "Kung Fu" lost millions in box office revenue to Chen Guokun, but it was unintentionally made up for by Menjie. Although there was not much improvement, it was not because of Menjie's performance.

appeared, causing the film's performance to drop.

Based on this alone, Menjie has enough reasons to say that he has not insulted the role of "Big Brother Chen"!

The final result of the film "Kung Fu" was fixed at a box office figure of 160 million.

In the eyes of outsiders, the contract signed between Menjie and the crew only involved him receiving a fixed salary for his role, and no box office dividends. The performance of the film itself was high or low, and the relationship with Menjie was not very big. It was mainly about the production.

Problems with the film crew.

After all, no matter how high the box office is, Menjie can't make more money!

But what everyone doesn’t know is that the higher the box office, the more benefits Menjie can earn. This benefit does not refer to pure wealth, but to the points of the King System that cannot be purchased even with wealth!

According to the points reward regulations of the Tianwang system, if the movie is participated in the filming, for every 10,000 box office earned after the movie is released, Menjie himself will be able to get one point.

Now, the final box office of "Kung Fu" is 160 million, so now, the points that Menjie can get are 16,000 points!

16,000 points, for Menjie whose current acting skills have reached B-level, such a number may not be enough for Menjie to exchange for a good B-level skill. It is not too much, but in fact, this number,

Quite a lot indeed!

Previously, Menjie's first album Fairy Tales brought Menjie 9,600 points, while "Heaven Slaying the Dragon" only earned Menjie about 10,000 points.

But now, the film "Kung Fu" has simply brought Menjie 60% more points than the previous two films!

Although the points from one movie alone are not enough for Menjie to buy a good B-level skill, if he takes out all the points he has accumulated for a long time and wants to redeem a good B-level skill, it will not be enough.

It's not anything particularly difficult.

Of course, Menjie is not continuing a certain B-level skill now, so there is no need to rush. You can wait for a while and then redeem it when you need a certain skill very urgently.

So in the end, the 16,000 points that the movie "Kung Fu" brought to Menjie were the same as the points from "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer". They were all stored in the King's system and did not directly choose to receive them.

Finally, Menjie grinned and put all his attention on the King System, another area.

Compared with the one-time 16,000 points that "Kung Fu" brought to Menjie, although Menjie was also very happy, what he cared about more was not just the 16,000 points.

What Menjie really cares about is the number of his fans!

Only when the number of fans increases can Menjie's future works achieve better results. Menjie himself can also continuously earn points through his fans and achieve a sustainable development strategy! (To be continued. Please
