During the seven days of the Spring Festival, Chinese people eat, drink and have fun every day. In addition to domestic travel, foreign travel, etc., the total consumption exceeds three trillion Chinese coins.
Compared with the huge total consumption, the box office of the movie is really not high.
Compared with the same period in previous years, this year's box office performance was average. The final total box office was 11.2 billion, of which "Despicable Me" alone took in 3.4 billion, and "Hanbo and Qingyun Cup" won 3
1.2 billion, and "Eagle Eye" is just over 2 billion.
The total box office of the three movies is 8.6 billion, accounting for 80% of the entire Spring Festival box office!
This situation will continue into the second week after the Spring Festival holiday. In order to avoid the sharp impact of these three movies, most movies do not dare to seize the first place after the Spring Festival for fear of falling victim to the residual power of the box office in the second week.
The schedule was one week, but it was postponed to one week.
Therefore, within two weeks of release, the three movies had almost no competition.
As for Hollywood's "Happy Sunday", it has already begun to collapse in the last three days of the Spring Festival. The entire Spring Festival has only a "mere" box office of 1.2 billion Chinese dollars, which is far behind "Eagle Eye"...
…
"To be honest, I quite like "Hawkeye"."
In Chen Fengzhi's office, Chen Maolin blinked and said with regret: "Although many people say that "Eagle Eye" is imitating "The Bourne Identity", I personally feel that there is a big difference between them, at least
It will be completely different if there is an additional setting like the Super Soldier Serum."
There was a pause when he said this, and then Chen Maolin said with a smile: "Unfortunately, the movie's box office performance was relatively average, which cost me a hundred yuan."
"A hundred yuan? Why did you lose a hundred yuan?"
After listening to Chen Maolin's words, Sun Peng suddenly asked curiously.
"Haha, we are making a bet."
Chen Fengzhi next to him suddenly became happy and explained with a smile: "Old Chen particularly likes "Iron Man" and "Captain of China", so he feels that the box office of "Eagle Eye" will definitely be the same as that of "Han Bo and Qingyun Cup"
The difference in the box office must be within 500 million, and the result...haha, but he didn't lose a total of 100 yuan, but each of us lost 100 yuan!"
"..."
After learning the cause of the matter, Sun Peng couldn't help but be happy. He looked at Chen Maolin and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you are really confident in "Eagle Eye". Didn't you read those institutions' books before making a bet?"
Prediction?"
Rolling his eyes, Chen Maolin sighed helplessly: "I don't have time to study that. I just rely on my feelings... Besides, I actually looked at it later and found that the staying power of "Eagle Eye" is compared to that of "The Little Wizard" and "The Thief".
"Daddy" must be enough, and the results in the two days after the Spring Festival have caught up!"
"Come on, that's not enough stamina!"
Pouring his lips, Chen Fengzhi said with a disdainful smile: "That's just because "Penetration Daddy" and the Little Wizard are so popular. Many people have watched it in the past few days. It was only when the holiday was about to end that I remembered "Eagle".
"It's just eyes!"
"Ahem... at least the global box office of "Eagle Eye" is not bad, it is almost the same as those two movies."
"Puch!"
"Hahaha……"
Seeing Chen Maolin's expression of defense of "Eagle Eye", Chen Fengzhi and Sun Peng couldn't help but laughed at the same time.
Flat?
One week after its release, the box office of "Eagle Eye" in North America increased to 65 million, and the total overseas box office also rose to 140 million U.S. dollars. That's why Chen Maolin said that the box office of "Eagle Eye" and the other two movies
The same, because after including the US$140 million from overseas, the box office of "Eagle Eye" also exceeded US$3 billion.
However, if the global box office is equal to the domestic box office in China, this perspective is really refreshing and refined.
Except for some small markets where it has not yet been released, most of the box office performance has been released, so the final results of its overseas release can basically be predicted.
If nothing else, it should be between US$240 million and US$270 million.
This result is definitely a big surprise for ordinary Chinese movies, but for the ambitions of Forbidden City and Lotus, it falls far behind.
So after he finished laughing, Chen Fengzhi said with a strange expression: "Old Chen, do you want to make another bet? I bet that in the next few days, the box office of "Hanbo and Qingyun Cup" will surpass that of "Eagle Eye"
"Throw it away, and you can throw it away a lot!"
"Hmph, I won't bet anymore, I won't bet again in the future."
Rolling his eyes again, Chen Maolin's head suddenly shook like a rattle. Losing money in gambling is a trivial matter. Chen Maolin is now one of the two giants of Lao Bai Studio, and he also received Sun Peng's share reward. His net worth
It's not cheap, but the depressing feeling when paying for it is very uncomfortable.
And everyone knows that starting from today, "Hanbo and Qingyun Cup" will be released on a large scale overseas. In three days, it will earn at least 200 million U.S. dollars at the overseas box office. If the performance is more amazing, 300 million U.S. dollars is not impossible.
.In North America alone, the box office in the first weekend may exceed 100 million!
After all, it’s the Wizard, and it’s the fourth sequel after all!
How do you make a bet that you know is bound to lose?
So after looking at Chen Fengzhi with contempt, who wanted to set him up, Chen Maolin quickly changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about the movie. Anyway, the boss's scripts are always a hit everywhere, so let's talk about ourselves.
Let’s play the game...Boss, at the Lingnan Game Show on March 12th, we are going to release the trial version of "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 3"!"
"Try it out? Are you sure?"
After listening to Chen Maolin's words, Sun Peng's expression became serious.
Seriously speaking, the development of "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 3" started almost at the same time as "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 2", and it has been several years now. But at the beginning, there was only a small team responsible for the game.
The framework, gameplay and plot are designed, and the character model design inside is also started.
But Sun Peng knows very well that the people in this small team are the essence of Laobai Studio!
And as Chen Fengzhi kept poaching people from abroad and domestically, the team suddenly expanded at an alarming rate. Especially after the game engine was completed and "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 2" entered the testing stage, the team immediately
Just like the balloon blower changed from a human mouth to an air pump, it suddenly expanded to an exaggerated level!
The number of employees involved in the production of "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 3" has exceeded 600!
If outsourcing is included, it can be said that there were at least two to three thousand people involved in the production of "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 3", and the funds consumed every month are a very huge number!
So this is why even though the first two parts of "The Legend of Laobai Heroes" sold two to three billion, Laobai Studio still lost money.
However, it is precisely because of not being stingy with money that the progress of "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 3" is so fast.
After all, making games is about competing for people.
Under the premise that the plot, framework, gameplay, etc. of the game have been determined, the more people there are, the faster it is done, and the more investment is made, the better it is. This is a rule that game companies around the world must follow!
But even though he knew that the company was spending money like water, Sun Peng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Chen Maolin say that he was going to release a demo...
