Ever since "Love Is Not Blind" came out on its first day at the box office, Yu Dong couldn't help but sigh.
At the beginning, he was still thinking about helping Tang An distribute it. After all, even if a movie with Tang An's name as producer would not become a dark horse like the previous two movies, the box office would not be low.
However, Tang An still decided to release it independently. After all, it was a small-budget movie and there were no other movies released at the same time.
Yu Dong didn't take it seriously. It was just a few million in distribution fees, and it wasn't a blockbuster.
But now the box office has exceeded 200 million in 8 days, and he almost regrets it.
This film is definitely stable for 300 million, and there is hope for 400 million. If we insist on getting the distribution rights, we can earn 30 to 40 million.
There's no point regretting it now, the cake has flown away.
There is another important thing before us. Hantang Media already has the strength to publish and distribute independently. Although it is not as good as those giants, it is enough to distribute a medium-cost movie.
Moreover, Tang An is a shareholder of Poly Wanhe Cinemas and has also joined Wanda.
Wanda's film and television production business has just begun to develop, and Poly is no longer engaged in film and television production. The film schedules of these two theater lines are enough for a small- to medium-cost film.
Moreover, Yu Dong has been paying attention to Tang An's establishment of a theater chain. Once it reaches a large scale, I am afraid that even the release of blockbusters can be completed independently.
By that time, it would be difficult for him to participate in the release of the next blockbusters of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and no one would give up the cake in his mouth.
However, theater chains cannot be built in a short time, not to mention that the market in third-tier small cities and counties is so big, so there is no need to worry about it in the next two or three years.
To forge iron, you have to be strong yourself. After all, distributing other people's movies is too passive, and you have to invest in blockbusters yourself.
Yu Dong picked up several projects on the table in front of him. These are all films that Bernard will invest in next year. Wang Jing's "The God of Wealth Inn", the co-production "I Know Women's Hearts" starring Liu Dehua and Gong Li, and "Eavesdropping" The sequel to "Wind and Cloud"
There are many films, but they lack big investment and big production.
Yu Dong thought for a while and informed his assistant to make an appointment with Xu Ke. Xu Ke was recently preparing to remake "New Dragon Inn". He had to fight for it no matter what, and couldn't fall into Hua Yi's hands again.
Compared with Yu Dong, Wang Changtian's intestines almost turned green with regret.
Yu Dong missed the release of "Thirty-three Days of Love" only because he lost a little distribution fee, but for Guangxian, it was related to a market value of hundreds of millions or even more than one billion.
Bernard is determined to be listed on the Nasdaq, and he is still focused on the performance of "Edge of Tomorrow" in North America.
But Guangxian will be listed on the GEM of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange next month. It is a super dark horse of the year and a movie that has caused social topics like "Thirty-day Love". For Guangxian, the stock price has increased by at least 10 point.
If Guangxian wins the distribution rights of "Thirty-day Love", plus "Painted Skin 2" and the highly likely success of "Edge of Tomorrow", Guangxian invests in two and releases three, Wang Changtian is confident that Guangxian's The market value has reached the tens of billions mark!
In the end, he had to rely on other people's films, and Wang Changtian was increasingly grateful to have collaborated with Tang An.
Otherwise, Guangxian's two hit blockbusters this year, "City Alert" and "Fist of Fury", which have a market value of tens of billions, would be pretty good if they could stabilize the opening price.
These two regretted it, and Wang Zhongjun of Huayi almost vomited blood.
This piece was originally the meat in Hua Yi's mouth. If he didn't want to eat it, he would let others eat it.
It's still an opponent that I can't deal with. It's really as frustrating as you want!
Looking at the current box office trend, it is inevitable to exceed 300 million, and 400 million is not without hope.
The cost of 10 million yuan, even if 20 million yuan is spent on publicity, it is still only 30 million yuan.
If the box office reaches 400 million, the profit from the box office share alone will be enough to reach 100 million.
This is 100 million, real cash!
Now Tang An has picked up the money, and along with it, he has won two first-rate prizes.
Snap!
Slapping the table hard, he could only vent his frustration like this now.
Wang Zhonglei first rejected the film and then asked for his opinion. At that time, he rejected it without even thinking about it.
With a TV drama director, an unpopular subject, and a not-so-popular movie, no one believed it could make money.
However, the reality is so strange. The blockbusters that were not expected to become popular have been suppressed one by one.
Wang Zhonglei looked embarrassed next to him. Teng Huatao approached him three times, but he declined each time.
It doesn't matter if others make money, he still pushes out the money with his own hands, which is equivalent to giving 100 million to Tang An. It is estimated that his behavior of giving money will be regarded as SB by others in the industry for a period of time.
Wang Zhonglei sighed and took the initiative to admit his fault, "Brother, I made a mistake."
For such a big work mistake, someone must take the blame.
In fact, it was originally Wang Zhonglei's fault. Teng Huatao did not find the person in charge of the production department, but directly went to him.
"It's too late to talk about this now. Let's solve the current problem first."
Wang Zhongjun shook his head. He was the decision-maker of the company. He was responsible for any wrong decision. It was not like Wang Zhonglei had not discussed it with him.
"Don't be too busy reviewing for now. Go and appease Teng Huatao as soon as possible. No matter what he wants, you must agree to it first. Don't let Tang An poach him again!"
"Yes, I'll go find him right away." Wang Zhonglei suddenly remembered what was important now.
They are not even willing to pay 10 million for the production fee. Teng Huatao must have resentment in his heart. It would be okay if the movie failed. Now that the movie is a hit, Teng Huatao has become a favorite immediately. I am afraid that other companies have already started recruiting
.
They are not worried about other companies, but there is no guarantee that Teng Huatao will be grateful for Tang An's help in times of need and join Han and Tang on impulse.
Having already poached several top executives, a big agent, a first-line star, and a director worth 300 million or even 400 million per film, Na Huayi couldn't be the one who brought talents to the Han and Tang Dynasties!
"You stabilize him as soon as possible, and I'll go visit his father." Wang Zhongjun added at the end.
Compared to others, Tang An, who had just held a press conference to celebrate the 200 million yuan celebration, was in a much more comfortable mood.
It's a pity that Wang Zhongjun didn't come, otherwise it would have been even more fun.
In a conference room in the hotel, Tang An summoned several senior executives of the company to have a small meeting.
"The promotion of "Thirty-day Love" will continue. From this afternoon, "Edge of Tomorrow" will also begin large-scale screenings. Half of the promotional resources will be used. Bernard, Guangxian, Mr. Zhu from Xingmei, you go there.
Coordinate the publicity direction of the four parties.”
"It's already the 19th, and there are still 12 days until the movie is released. I want to see "Edge of Tomorrow" occupy 80% of the entertainment news within a week, and there will be no negative news about 3D!" Tang An
He ordered Zhu Mo with a serious face.
It was originally scheduled to be screened half a month in advance on November 15th, but "Love Is Not Blind" was so popular that Tang Ancai temporarily decided to wait a week in order not to hurt both parties.
Every city in the country with a 3D screen has at least one screening every day, and major cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have three or four screenings a day. 12 days is enough.
The first screening in Beijing was in the IMAX hall of Shijingshan Wanda International Cinema, which is the only three IMAX screens in Beijing.
After the meeting, Tang An and Tang Yan dressed up in disguise and went to the scene to see the audience's reaction.
ps: The update time is from September 30th to October 6th. I have said it once before, why haven’t you seen it? -_-
I would also like to reply to the readers who said in the previous chapter that my data was not accurate regarding the box office of "33 Days After Love".
Originally this film was released in November 2011, but in this book it was released in November 2010.
In 2011, the number of screens nationwide increased by more than 30% compared to 2010.
When it was released in 2011, Dibao Double Eleven had already become popular, with single-day sales of nearly 1 billion in 2010 and 25 million participating users.
In 2010, the concept of Double Eleven was not that popular. In 2009, the sales of Dibao Double Eleven were only over 50 million, with hundreds of thousands of participating users.
Another Friday, November 11th, 2011, the weekend is approaching.
Moreover, the movie was released on the 8th, and during the three days of word-of-mouth, with the promotion of the film studio and the media building momentum, word-of-mouth from fans will lead to a box office of 50 million on the 11th.
However, the first day of the film's release on the 11th is Thursday. Movie fans know nothing about the movie, and its momentum is far less than the original 11th.
Just like that, I also wrote that the box office on the first day was 37 million.
Originally, when it was released in 2011, the first-day box office was only close to 20 million, but here it was nearly double that.
Even though there were fewer games, there was still an extra 17 million, which was a bonus due to Double Eleven and the protagonist’s fame.
It is normal that the 40 million on Saturday the 13th is not as good as the original 50 million on Friday the 11th.
Not to mention the loss of one-third of the screen, the Double Eleven outbreak in the past two days has already consumed many viewers who came to watch movies on this special day.
