Chapter 63 God's sudden wealth opportunity!(1/2)
The awards ceremony will have to wait until evening.
During the day, Han Zhou and Wang Xiya planned to go to the movies.
After all, it is a film festival, and all the films sent are being broadcast.
When he arrived at the park, Han Zhou saw a movie promotional poster and was immediately confused.
"This is……"
""dragon"?"
The name of the movie is "dragon" in Russian. You can't tell why by looking at the name, but on this poster, a lone boat is floating on the blue sea like a sacrifice. The heroine in a white dress is sitting on the boat, and a dragon is flying in the air.
This is not what "He is a Dragon" is.
Han Zhou suddenly remembered something interesting, and then said: "Ask them if this movie has been released in the Bear Country!"
Wang Xiya directly communicated with the conductor.
Soon, Wang Xiya received a reply: "It has just been released for a week, and the box office is dismal."
"Sure! That's it!" Han Zhou: "Let's go take a look!"
Wang Xiya was stunned when she heard Han Zhou's words.
What the hell, the box office was dismal, you can’t get your money back, why don’t you go and see it?
"Maybe I didn't make it clear enough. The investment in this movie was about 14 million U.S. dollars, and the first week's box office was almost 700,000 U.S. dollars. It is estimated that not even one-tenth of the cost can be recovered."
Han Zhou: "Let's go and buy tickets to see it."
The more you talk about it, the more it sounds like "He is a Dragon"!
"He is a Dragon" became a hit on the Chinese Internet. The film was widely praised by domestic audiences, and on the short video platform, there were more than 500,000 likes and no less than 50 commentary videos with more than 10,000 comments.
With this kind of popularity, if it had been delayed in China, it would have earned at least over 500 million at the box office!
However, this film was born in the country of the furry bears, which is a tragedy.
Because audiences in the Bear Country are only interested in war movies.
This "He is a Dragon" made me lose all my pants.
The previous movie "He is a Dragon", I heard it was a romance film based on their mythology, ended up taking over 50 million at the box office in China in one week, and was screened at the local box office in China.
The most important thing is that the Chinese copyright only cost 300,000 US dollars to import.
This rate of return is higher than robbing a bank.
Moreover, the publisher did not dare to market it at the beginning and just threw it out like this, which resulted in such box office results!
"It's based on local mythology, and it's a romance film. As long as it's shot beautifully, the effect should be the same as the one in the previous life."
As long as it has a 90% level, it will definitely be a golden mountain if you buy it!
Wang Xiya bought the tickets and walked into the cinema with Han Zhou.
At the same time, Timo Pushkin and his assistants were watching the list of foreign films.
“How much did this movie cost?”
Of course, Teemo was asking about the box office at the film festival, not the market box office.
"The attendance rate for the three games was 78%."
Teemo was a little surprised: "This? Seventy-eight percent?"
"Why?"
Teemo looked at the movie's cover poster.
Shoddy.
A man wearing a funny suit and a red sweater vest, with an unshaven beard and messy hair.
Running on the field, with the snowy scene behind and green grass in front.
There is a tall leafless tree growing at the boundary.
The dead tree takes up 70% of the entire poster.
Just by looking at it, you can see that the green grass in front is made from p, which is very fake.
And the name of the movie is, "Hello Tree".
What the hell? Why is there an attendance rate of 78%?
Teemo was numb with anger: "It depends on him."
Recently, Timo Pushkin's new movie was released, and it was a disaster at the box office. Now that I see such a shoddy movie, its attendance rate is three times lower than my own, so be sure to check out what he has made.
In fact, Timo Pushkin was a bit unlucky.
But it can also be said to be a bit stubborn.
He just didn't want to make a war movie.
Decades ago, Da Mao disintegrated, and the Mao Xiong people who had been deceived by the United States and had their legs broken came back to their senses and understood.
Subsequently, the Americans made an overwhelming amount of movies to seize the results of the Second World War.
The only thing the audience from the Bear Country could say after watching it was, 'What the hell, you captured Germany? Then why don't we, the Bear Country, have tens of millions of troops? Why are we there? Fighting aliens?'
Therefore, audiences in the Bear Country particularly like to watch war movies, especially war movies about fighting Germany.
The citizens of the Woolly Bear Country are not wealthy. Although the government tries to keep prices down so that they can meet their demand for high-calorie food to overcome the cold winter, the prices for things other than food and drink are still high.
Especially entertainment activities.
Now, 22 years later, on the streets of Furry Bear Country, one fifth of the people are still wearing fake Adadis and holding black-and-white Lokia screens.
Coupled with the rapid development of the TV industry in the Bear Country in recent years, with even TV series appearing in the United States dominating the charts, the living space of the film industry has been extremely compressed.
Their film market is not developed to begin with, and the audience strongly supports war films, but other films have suffered miserably.
Timo Pushkin's level of filmmaking is very high, and he was once recommended by a friend to go to the United States.
As a result, in the United States, the movie I received was... "Nata the Vampire Slayer". Natal was a president in the history of the United States. In other words, it was a spoof film.
As a result, Timo Pushkin was not convinced, so he just turned the spoof film into a drama as much as possible.
The final box office was also good.
However, Timo Pushkin could only receive some low-budget movies after that. After all, Hollywood doesn't like a disobedient director.
Even if you are talented, you are from the country of Mao Xiong. Don’t you have some skills?
So, after Timo Pushkin earned enough commissions in Hollywood, he returned to the country of the furry bears and filmed "Dragon" with his own money.
The result... was worse than Wangcai, Xiaoqiang and their master combined!
…
Coming out of the cinema, Wang Xiya was a little surprised: "The quality... is very high."
It can be said to be top-notch.
If we don’t talk about the story, but just talk about the sense of picture and atmosphere, it is not inferior to American Hollywood.
If we talk about it overall, it's at least an 80% movie.
After all, it was a movie on which a well-known director who had achieved modest success in Hollywood bet half of his fortune on this movie.
"Why did it do so poorly at the box office?"
"That's right!" Han Zhou smiled numbly. He smiled and stopped smiling.
In front of me, two people were walking towards each other.
On the other side, Timo Pushkin and his assistant walked out of the cinema, feeling depressed.
Regardless of his assistant's dissuasion, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
This is indoors!
Teemo: "That actor, I must let him be my leading actor once!"
"There are not even five people in Hollywood with this kind of acting skills."
The assistant was shocked: "Hollywood can't find five? Is it such an exaggeration?"
Teemo was very serious: "Five are too many."
At this time, Teemo stopped, looked forward, and asked: "Did I see it wrong... Is that... a tree?!"
The two teams met unexpectedly.
"Shu'er, hello, I'm Teemo, and I want to sign you to be the leading actor in my new movie!"
"Director Pushkin, hello, my name is Han Zhou and I am the president of China New World Entertainment Company. Do you own the overseas copyright of "Dragon"?"
Teemo said this to Han Zhou.
Wang Xiya helped Han Zhou translate this sentence.
