Chapter 431 Even a blogger can be popular, what a talent
On December 24, 1991, a new Western Lunar New Year movie arrived, and theaters around the world were bombarded by "Lucky Star" starring Jim Carrey and Courteney Cox.
Although this movie was proposed to be shot by Shao Yifu on November 5th, and Jim Carrey had not yet completed filming on the set of "The Stranger in Disguise" at that time, "Lucky Star" had no special effects and the story was simple...
The whole process is just about watching the comedian's performance and personal performance.
In less than 40 days, it was finalized and put into post-production. It was announced mainly by various TV stations, and Jim Carrey was promoted to the program.
In this dimension, Jim Carrey also became famous with the help of the movie "New Love". "New Love" represents Xu Jinheng's turnaround film, which has a total box office of 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars worldwide with an investment of 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
No one will say that Ah Heng is a loser from a rich family anymore, and Jia Ling has become an international actress.
Jim Carrey's popularity is also extremely popular in Europe and the United States, and Courteney Cox is also one of the heroines of the two popular seasons of "Friends".
Therefore, we have put enough effort into publicity and distribution, and it is impossible to lose money. It is this Jim Carrey, with his comedy performance, who made the not-so-exciting film "The Detective" win more than 100 million worldwide before "The Man in Disguise" was released.
US dollar box office.
After his funny power exploded??
From the 24th to the 29th, in a six-day opening weekend, the film grossed US$39 million in North America and US$31 million in Europe. Even if we don’t talk about East Asia and Southeast Asia, this trend is all for Shao Yifu.
.
Shao Daheng, who is about to turn 85, once again attracted the attention of the Hong Kong film industry, and then... everyone read it a few times and felt that the script was just like that, not very exciting, with no exciting fighting scenes and no great special effects.
This is...
He is completely like Xingzi who has taken the world by storm with his personal charm!
Courteney was ecstatic. Talking about her qualifications, she was an Asian drama student in 1986. Among her classmates in the same year, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, and Winona Ryder, which one is not a female superstar?
Although she was one of the heroines in two seasons of "Friends" and became very popular in the TV industry, she really doesn't have many masterpieces in movies.
(Invincible Lucky Star) is a bit like pretending to be crazy and laughing at the great aunt, but it is indeed a very bright resume for her. With this resume, her salary has skyrocketed!
When the time entered 1992, in January, the number of theaters in Mainland China and Hong Kong Haowan was already overflowing.
For example, in Hong Kong Island, even if a movie starts with 20% of the film schedule, the maximum daily box office is close to 2.6 million Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, blockbusters such as "The Dragon Plays with the Phoenix", "The Taiping Wheel", "A Lang's Story" and "The God of Fortune" all start from 30
% of the film schedule will start, and will be launched one after another one week apart.
At its peak, a six-room theater screened five different blockbusters at the same time.
This is the Lunar New Year period before the Spring Festival, and the war is officially going on.
………………
Huayuan Phase 1.
When Winona Ryder entered the community in the nanny car, she quickly got out of the car, breathed in the fresh air and ran back to Building 3.
Filming in Hollywood for several months (Nuns are also crazy) really made her uncomfortable. For example, some people who wanted to pursue her, even if they were Pan-Asian bodyguards who were absolutely reliable, also caused a certain amount of annoyance to her.
Are there some big bosses who want to hide the rules for her? Even more outrageous, it was still Pan-Asian bodyguards who took care of it.
Nothing happened, but compared with the relaxed and safe environment in Hong Kong when she was filming movies, she was already very uncomfortable with life in Hollywood.
On the other hand, all kinds of gossip magazines and countless newspapers reported her scandals casually, often with just one picture at the beginning, and the content relied entirely on the editor’s guidance of public opinion??
It made her even more uncomfortable and physically and mentally exploded.
Although she was quite popular when she was filming Spider-Man 1, but compared to Spider-Man 1 which made more than 800 million U.S. dollars at the global box office, it was a completely different era.
When they arrived at the door, they walked without any harassment or obstruction. Winona still complained happily, "It's still safe and comfortable to live in Huayuan Phase 1..."
At this moment, a figure walked out of Building 3, it was Courteney Cox, her eyes lit up when she saw Winona, "Winona? Ha, long time no see, by the way, (Spider-Man 2)
Is it about to start filming? I really envy you, it’s time to use the second part to increase your influence."
Winona was stunned and extremely speechless, "Why do I feel like it's not good news?"
If we want to shoot Spider-Man 2, don’t we have to go to North America, Hollywood or New York?
Courteney said unexpectedly, "What's wrong? What happened to you over there?"
Winona smiled bitterly and complained, "Not to mention other things, it's not a big deal, but those unscrupulous media paparazzi are so abominable. I just had a dinner with many actors from the crew, and then I was accused of being with someone.
Falling in love."
"I made it clear that I was not in a relationship, but the people who attacked me actually said that I discriminated against black actors... and many people surrounded me to protest."
"I publicly clarified it again. Later, I got closer to some actresses on the set, and they widely reported that I like people of the same sex...it was like a nightmare."
"When I go out on Hong Kong Island, even if I am recognized in public, up to three bodyguards can maintain order. When the police come to help, there are less than 8 people around me and I don't dare to go shopping."
Courteney, “…”
She doesn't know how to deal with it anymore. Is this the price of becoming famous? It seems that there are not so many messy things in Hong Kong Island??
The more serious gossip is nothing more than Wu Zhenyu's behind-the-scenes cooking, and after Li Lianjie (Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng) was released, the media said that Ajie was on the street, had no box office appeal, and was about to be eliminated by movie fans...
What happened to Winona there?
After being confused for a while, she also smiled bitterly and said, "On December 24, 1990, (Spider-Man 1) was released worldwide. It was already January 3, 1992. The preliminary preparations for the second part and the production of various models must have been arranged.
.”
"Even the third part of Wanted can start shooting. I heard that (Jurassic Park 3) will also start shooting after the Spring Festival."
"At the beginning of 1992, three movies with super special effects were released at the same time. Even if it was the end of 1992 or the beginning of 1993 when they were released, it was still a super audio-visual lineup."
Winona's head felt heavy for a while, "I'm feeling numb, wait a minute, I'm going to beg Axin and ask her to help me beg my boss to let me spend the Spring Festival in Hong Kong Island before returning to New York."
"We'll take a month's rest and then we'll start filming other people's scenes first."
When she said hello and ran into the building, Courteney Cox was also paralyzed. You, a beautiful white girl from Amei's family, are celebrating the Chinese Spring Festival?
………………
February 4th, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
It has been released globally for more than a month. Europa and Lucky Star, which has grossed US$190 million in box office in North America, are being released one after another. Adding data from East and Southeast Asia, this comedy movie starring Jim Carrey has grossed US$270 million worldwide.
Jim Carrey's salary has increased from US$5 million to US$7 million when the Hollywood Film and Television Group paid him US$5 million to film.
Then……
(The Stranger in Disguise) was released on New Year's Day.
In the six days from the 4th to the 9th, the box office in North America was US$41 million, and in Europe it was US$33 million, a stronger performance than "Lucky Star".
Don’t forget that your lucky star falls on Christmas and New Year’s Day, which are the annual holidays in mainstream Western countries. February 4th to 9th is the Chinese Spring Festival holiday, but most people in Europe and the United States are at work.
At the end of a week's performance, Jim Carrey's salary has once again increased from US$7 million to US$10 million! The Hollywood giants are really stomping their feet in regrets. If only they could get a few film contracts before these two movies.
?
It will be really profitable.
It was under such circumstances that Zhao Donghuai said to Xiaoxian, "Let's arrange for the VCD player and disc system to be launched in Wanjia Supermarket."
Wang Zuxian hesitated for a moment, "Really? A machine in Hong Kong costs 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is twice or more cheaper than a video recorder and a laser disc player. A disc costs 20 Hong Kong dollars?? It is more than 15 times cheaper than a laser disc..."
"You do it, the impact comes immediately, and it's hard to take it back?"
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Technology is developing and the times are progressing. You can't block everyone's way. Just like the pharmaceutical giants control various serious diseases that require lifelong medication, it does not mean that there is really no cure."
"If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will, so don't be a dragon."
There are many stories about young men who slay dragons and eventually become evil dragons, but here, Zhao Donghuai is not so obscene. Another reason is that VCD machines and disc production technology are also working for him, Monica Bellucci and Jennifer Kang.
Nally opens a new river of cash!
Xiaoxian nodded, then excitedly pulled Li Jiaxin and said, "Come on, let's arrange for people to go down and make detailed statistics on which movies have been hit at the box office after the Lunar New Year period."
"This is about to start a new era in the film and television industry!"
Li Jiaxin nodded, "I'm quite curious too, but as long as we control the source of the films, the probability of a blockbuster box office impact is not very high. Only those bad films and those with aesthetic fatigue will be severely affected."
Technology is developing and the times are advancing. Hong Kong Haowan discs cost 20 Hong Kong dollars each, Island, South Korea, Star, Malaysia and Thailand cost 30 Hong Kong dollars each. In the Mainland, the price is tentatively RMB 15.
Such a price??
It just depends on the war with pirates. At this price, pirates are very competitive.
What can I say about this price? If one person buys it together, it will still feel expensive and inappropriate. However, the number of video halls that were not too many in the past will be ten times, fifteen times, or twenty times in full bloom.
There are video halls everywhere, and you can watch seven or eight movies all night long with just a few dollars... This is the real impact, a blockbuster, a super blockbuster, and the DVD was released late, so I couldn't wait to watch it after it was released.
But movies like (Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng) (Xinbi Blood Sword) (Tianlongbabu: Tianshan Tonglao) are miserable...
When it was released, you were too lazy to spend money to watch it because there were too many films of the same type as the previous one. You could just watch it when the video tape was released later, and then the video hall expanded ten to twenty times??
What is being killed is the survival space for those similar films, less outstanding films, and truly bad films.
………………
February 13, the tenth day of the first lunar month.
When Xiao Ma arrived at a certain production set by car, he smiled and greeted everyone when he went in. The creative team of "A Comic to the End of the World" have been working together for nearly two months, and they went back to their hometown for a few days off during the Spring Festival.
The reunion after the holidays is not far away from the finalization period.
When Xiao Ma greeted the pretty girl Bai Anni, he walked to the area surrounded by Lin Junxian, Cheng Kui'an and others, and said with a smile, "Brother Xian, Brother An, what are you doing? Watch the video tape?"
"Hey...it's not a video recorder."
Lin Junxian smiled and said, "It's a Pacific VCD player and a VCD disc. Good guy, a finished video tape costs more than 100 Hong Kong dollars. Now the VCD disc only costs 20 RMB. It's more than five times cheaper at once."
"Xiao Ma, we are all insiders, and you are still a top student. Do you think this will be a good thing or a bad thing for us filmmakers and the video revenue after the movie is released?"
"Even the VCD machine is half the price, down from 5,000 to 6,000 yuan to 3,000 yuan per unit."
"It was just launched on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and today is only the tenth day of the lunar month. I heard that more than 5,000 units were sold on Hong Kong Island in two days, and all kinds of DVDs were also sold like crazy."
Cheng Kui'an came over, winked and said, "Do you know which disc sells the most? I heard that the director, Mai Jiejie, made (What Futon), and the movie only earned more than 18 million when it was released on Golden Princess.
Hong Kong dollar box office.”
"But in the two days between the eighth and ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the Pacific VCD chain sold 100,000 discs! Sales volume of 2 million Hong Kong dollars! Damn it, so many people in Hong Kong Island watch albums?"
Lin Junxian also had a look of emotion on his face, feeling like he didn't know what to say.
When Liang Jiaren came over... Just as he was about to ask everyone what they were busy with, Xiao Ma suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Director, I want to take a few more days off today, mainly because of a sudden accident at home. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Liang Jiaren, "..."
Lao Liang was silent for a few seconds, "How many days will you please?"
Xiao Ma said quickly, "We will definitely arrive after the Lantern Festival."
Liang Jiaren suddenly realized, "No problem. If you have something to do at home, just call me. Why bother coming here in person? We are all old acquaintances."
In the previous film (Descendants of the Dragon) and this one (A Comic to the End of the World), Liang Jiaren also had many scenes opposite Xiao Ma.
Xiao Ma quickly thanked him, apologized to his other partners one by one, and then ran away in a hurry.
He really didn't pay attention to this point when he was on vacation at home before. He was sure that those who bought so many video players and discs were definitely those who opened video halls. Those who were not short of money? They just bought and played what they watched. Only a few
It's just a wealthy family or the second or third generation.
He wants to go back immediately to see how the video theater market in Pengcheng is doing... If it works, the hundreds of thousands he originally planned to buy a house will be invested in the video theater market first.
This wave of blood profit!
It's not just Pengcheng, he can't try to go to other areas of Guangdong Province outside Pengcheng. It's just that his family has more connections in Pengcheng and it's easier to do things.
If you only open it in Pengcheng, you will become a hands-off shopkeeper and your daily business will not be so busy.
………………
February 17th, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival.
The festive atmosphere on Hong Kong Island is still strong. Li Jiaxin stood in Tsim Sha Tsui Wanjia Cinemas, walked around wearing a hat, sunglasses and a mask, and walked up to the manager's office on the fifth floor with a noisy voice.
At this moment, in this office, the branch manager of Wanjia Supermarket was already waiting in wage earner mode. Wang Zuxian asked curiously, "How is it? That Detective Ma Rulong?"
Ah Xin shrugged, "It's quite miserable. The movie schedule is 20%. I just went to see a few halls and the occupancy rate was less than 30%. It's already afternoon."
When Xiaoxian looked at the theater manager, the other person smiled bitterly, "Now the main force in occupying the box office is (Granny in Disguise). It has only been released for two weeks. Detective Ma Rulong has been released for seven days, and the box office in Hong Kong is only 2.1 million Hong Kong dollars."
The cast of Detective Ma Rulong is actually not bad, with the four main protagonists including Zheng Danrui, Xiao Yingying, Liang Jiahui, and Li Zhi, as well as Liu Songren, Li Zixiong, etc.
HKD 2.1 million in Seven Days?? The director is Chen Jiashang, a veteran of the 100-year-old film industry!
If it weren't for Tony Leung Ka Fai's schedule, he should have finished filming and released it last year. However, Ah Fai took the role first (91 Black Rose vs. Black Rose) and then went on to film Ma Rulong after finishing filming.
Li Jiaxin said speechlessly, "Cut it down to 10% of the film schedule, and let's make a new film."
The theater manager asked curiously, "Which one should I go to?"
Ah Xin thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the one starring Ah Fa and Liu Jialing (I Love Twisted Chai)."
The previous (Detective Ma Rulong) box office failure after its release has a lot to do with the film reviews. The first group of people who saw the movie have publicly called it a bad movie...
The role played by the male protagonist is obviously intended to be in the comedy style of Xingye, but the performance is badly performed and can easily make people look vulgar and obscene. It is a complete waste of beautiful women like Xiao Yingying and Li Zhi appearing together, and it is also a waste of Liang Jiahui's precious performance.
.
The male protagonist failed so much that it ruined the movie.
This is not what one film critic said, but what many people said in many different newspapers. Bad movie reviews coupled with the sudden attack of VCD players and VCD discs.
In just a few days, the number of video halls on Hong Kong Island has doubled, and it is still developing more. Moreover, many movie fans have discovered that when you go to the video hall to watch movies...the newly opened stores are much cheaper than the old ones.
.
………………
March 6th.
ATV office.
Zhao Donghuai received the investigation report sent by Li Jiaxin and Xiaoxian, and immediately smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's doing well. Ah Fa's (I Love Twisted Chai), 17 days since the Lantern Festival, 23 million Hong Kong dollars in box office?"
"Because the media and film critics gave this New Territories rural romance movie good reviews, the box office seems to have not been affected much."
"For bad movies like (Detective Ma Rulong) and (Four Detectives), the former only made 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars until the next release? (Four Detectives), which was released for one week, also made more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars?"
These are the movies that left an impression on Zhao Donghuai.
Let's just say that the original track of "Detective Ma Rulong" was more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong Island, but now it is over 3 million Hong Kong dollars.
The original box office of The Four Detectives was more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars, and it opened to more than 4 million in one week? It is estimated that it will earn more than 10 million in the next release, so the loss is not too big.
Afa’s (I Love Twisted Chai) sold 23 million in 17 days, which is not too far from the original track record of 30 million.
As expected, the impact of this round of VCD and disc impact is certainly there, but the impact on blockbusters and movies with good reviews will be limited, with a box office loss of 10 to 20% or 20 to 30%.
But the discs sold out quickly, which meant that the profits from the video tapes were settled in advance.
In the past, how many people could afford to buy more than 100 yuan of video tapes and more than 300 yuan of laser discs? Nowadays, movies such as "What Futon" continue to this day. Hong Kong Haowan, Star, Malaysia, Thailand and South Korea, island countries, because of retail
The existence of the terminal...
According to retail statistics in more than 20 days, more than 300,000 copies were sold, which is equivalent to more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars!
That’s less than a month!
If it can sell nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars in a month? His total box office in Hong Kong is only 18 million. As time goes on, this is a billing cycle several times faster than the original video tapes and laser discs.
After all, the price of Hong Kong Haowan is 20 Hong Kong dollars per disc, and the price of Xingma Tai and Daohan is 30 Hong Kong dollars per disc, so the total data will be more comprehensive.
Ah Xin asked curiously, "This is just the beginning, right?" The big impact will depend on the subsequent commercial war on pirated discs. If it doesn't go on, it will be a dead end for those less eye-catching genre films or bad films in the future.
faster."
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Hong Kong Haowan and Xingma Tai are the same in South Korea, but it is different in the mainland..."
So far in the Mainland, "Detective Ma Rulong" is also in the top category of bad movies. It took more than 50 million yuan at the box office after being released in just over a week... The Four Detectives took in more than 40 million yuan in one week.
It's a project that you can show for a long time, and even though it's a bad movie, you can still make a lot of money.
Obviously, compared with a 15-yuan DVD and a 2-yuan movie ticket, the movie ticket is still very attractive.
It will take several months or even half a year to a year to see sufficient results!
Bad movies deserve to be impacted and should be finished early, but Zhao Donghuai still makes the most money.
In the mainland, the retail price is 5 yuan, which is profitable, and the retail price is 15 yuan. Video halls are popping up everywhere, and the first few waves are all genuine video tapes.
Many VCDs of old movies are selling like fire. After all, if you open a video parlor, you can’t only play a few discs, right??
On April 1st, "The Stranger in Disguise" was released one after another around the world, and finally it grossed US$367 million globally, which was higher than the original 1994 version. That's because the movie took in RMB 760 million at the box office in the Mainland.
At this stage, the island country does not need to sell its ports. Tens of thousands of theaters continued for a month or two, and the island country collected more than 95 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, which is much higher than South Korea's 72 million.
Ticket warehouses were exploding one after another, and Jim Carrey took off on a rocket. Even after more than a month of screening, the DVD of "The Stranger in Disguise" appeared on the market, and the original version was a big seller...many people who didn't go to the cinema to watch the movie, after watching the disc
Went to the cinema again.
Again, the difference between the viewing experience of 480p on a small screen and the equivalent of 4K high-definition viewing in large theaters is really huge.
……………………
April 1st.
Shek Kip Mei came to the private room with good luck. Li Xiuxian laughed and toasted, "Xiao Ma, I respect you. After eating, let's go to the nightclub in East Tsim Sha Tsui. We won't come back until we're drunk!"
"I'll cover all the expenses!"
(A Comic to the End of the World), a small-production, easy-to-shoot movie, was completed in early March and is scheduled to be released on March 26. The five-day process has been completed today.
In five days, Hong Kong Island has more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and I have saved more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars. It seems that even if I draw, it is difficult to break 10 million in this city. In the end, Hong Kong Island can have 89 million, which will be great. It is not easy to save money.
Breaking tens of millions.
But the movie was a hit in the Mainland, with more than 70 million yuan in five days, which still makes Lee Soo-hyun look like... No, it made more than (Descendants of the Dragon).
Mainland RMB is also money!
Moreover, the combined box office revenue of the five countries including Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and Thailand is more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars. Counting the production costs, it has already made a huge profit in the first five days!
Li Xiuxian has already planned to send another 200,000 red envelopes to Xiao Ma.
Xiao Ma smiled and raised his glass, then said, "Thank you very much, Director Li. It's been a pleasure cooperating with you."
In later generations, Xiao Ma was also known as a great drinker and a drinker. He drank all over the Internet circle. His movies have made money very quickly. In the past two months, the chain of video theaters he opened in Pengcheng has also made a lot of money.
One thing to say, according to the original trajectory of Hong Kong Film... the impact of VCD machines and DVDs, this is still an era where there is no piracy, and everyone who dares to come out will be hammered to death, (Detective Ma Rulong) (Pony version of a comic reaching the end of the world) and so on
Movies, such box office performance on Hong Kong Island.
The box office is not as high as the salary of actors and stars.
The dead stuff is getting more and more thorough.
In this dimension, Taiwan, South Korea, and Bend Province have all become ticket warehouses, integrated theaters, and large ticket warehouses in the mainland. Only in the past few months have filmmakers experienced strong changes, but compared to the overall situation, it is still
Not much affected.
If piracy cannot be controlled, it will be much worse.
For example, if Fei Jing, Hua Zai and others did not make bad movies, a large number of employees would not be able to afford a living.
……………………
In an office building in Yau Ma Tei, when Akai from the Li family rushed into a certain company and knocked on a certain door, a moment later, Mr. Wu from Zhushe opened the door.
Akai was so anxious that he got angry, "Has Ci Ling finished the film?"
Old Wu nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Kai. I just watched the movie twice, and the special effects are still impressive. This movie should sell well."
Akai was about to burst into tears, "Why didn't you release it during the Lunar New Year? If it had been released years ago, without VCD machines and VCD DVDs, the same movie would have made at least several million more in one region, or even ten to twenty million more."
"If it were a bad movie, it would be even scarier."
The impact of the new technology of the times has just emerged, and many filmmakers who have already watched it are stunned. Chen Jiashang, who made a movie (Detective Ma Rulong), has a box office of more than 3 million in Hong Kong. It is really...
If he were not the director of 100 Years Pictures, Xiao Yingying's salary would be more than 3 million, okay? How about the salaries of Tony Leung Ka-fai and Li Zhi? If you hire Liu Song and Li Zixiong, both of them will have to spend millions.
Director Chen from 100 Years Pictures perfectly demonstrated how if he were an external company, he would be able to produce a project with a loss of tens of millions of dollars.
The male lead of the movie, Jung Tan Shwe, was suddenly blacklisted by many directors.
However, the stock price of 100 Years Pictures was not affected by this bad movie. As everyone knows, the core creative team of 100 Years Pictures is Zhou Xingxing, Wang Jing, Liu Dehua, and Chen Jiashang, who play less important roles.
This kind of thing makes A Kai feel on pins and needles. He is also afraid of losing money at the box office of Ci Ling. After all, the Li family holds 50% of the shares in this project.
Zhushe Lao Wu was speechless, "I also want to release it during the Lunar New Year period, but for special effects production, do you know how to do special effects?"
Akai, "..."
Akai smoked a cigarette and lit it, then said with red eyes, "(Taipinglun) has made a lot of money in January. Wang Yu, Ke Junxiong and Xiang Laoshi have made a lot of money."
"The Wheel", which was released between Jim Carrey's two major movies, is indeed a big profit. From the release to the end, the box office in Hong Kong Island was more than 26 million Hong Kong dollars, the provincial box office was 19 million Hong Kong dollars, the Stars, Malaysia and Thailand were 41 million Hong Kong dollars, and the island was 35 million.
and South Korea 41 million.
These equal 162 million Hong Kong dollars.
The key is that the mainland is strong. The mainland has accumulated a total of 490 million yuan.
With an investment of 100 to 200 million yuan, such an outcome was achieved? Xiang Laoshi and the others were laughing from ear to ear. After all, they repaired the model of the Taiping Wheel, customized and modified the Taiping Wheel, Jianyuan Wheel...
In fact, the Li family paid 38 million to help them repair it.
38 million can do a lot of things!
Without Johnny Depp and Jennifer Aniston, the salary cost has been saved several times.
Zhou Runfa had 10 million Hong Kong dollars, Liu Xiaoli had 5 million, Bingbing had 300,000, and Yuanyuan had 50,000. The money that Ju Shao was cheated had already covered the largest salary expenses, and the rest could still repair the huge pool studio.
After the release of "Wan Province", the total population is more than double that of Hong Kong Island, and the box office is so much less, which is enough to prove that he is not very popular over there, and there are a lot of scoldings, but the big brother in Zhushe is afraid of you
Scold them?
This disaster movie didn't make much money in Stars, Malaysia, Thailand, Island, or South Korea.
Strictly speaking, Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, and South Korea, the total cumulative total is only 162 million? Andy Lau's big action movie (big event), a single film can exceed 100 million in South Korea, Thailand, or even 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
In Europe and the United States, (Taipinglun) also accumulated more than 20 million U.S. dollars, but Xuanfa only lost 5 million U.S. dollars...basically a small profit after recouping the original investment.
It took more than a year of hard work before the film was released. The profit was not particularly large, but it was definitely not too little. For the people who worked on the project, they had experienced the impact of the Wu Yusen incident, and it was a blessing to be able to make back their money.
.
After working hard for more than a year, Xiang Laoshi and others provided Zhao Donghuai with 60% of the profits. The profits divided into their respective hands were at least 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars or RMB profits. Each of the three companies made 30 to 40 million yuan, so what else could they ask for?
bike?
This still refers to paying 60% of the protection fee. If you don’t pay the protection fee, each family can theoretically earn 80 to 90 million!
At this moment, Akai sighed again, "If (Taiping Wheel) was released during this time period, there would be no profit of nearly 100 million for each company."
Akai didn't know that starting from "Crazy Givenchy/Big Shot", Xiang Laoshi and others would pay 60% of the protection fee to Zhao Donghuai for their blockbusters.
He was just watching, ostensibly looking at the total box office data in various places. But in fact, the best-selling movie in Europe and the United States (The King of Power), Zhushe also paid a lot of protection fees. Otherwise, without the support of Zhao Donghuai, who among them Zhushe can tie up the theater chain
??Who can let the theater chain transfer and settle the money to you in time??
Without Zhao Donghuai, they wouldn't even be able to play Xuanfa.
After speaking, Lao Wu smiled and waved his hand, "Master Kai, don't worry, the situation is like this. We plan to launch a promotion of 15 million U.S. dollars in Europe and the United States, which is also 117 million Hong Kong dollars. The promotion in Asia will be more than 3,000.
Calculated at 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, do you want to continue investing? Take half of it and announce it."
“Or reduce the share proportionally??”
