"Qin Xiaobao brought his new artist to the wedding, is there anything going on?"
"Qin Xiaobao defeated Ning Hao, the rise of a new generation of directors."
"Ning Hao: I watched the movie and was very inspired. Qin Xiaobao is young and promising!"
"In places like Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou, it's hard to get a ticket for "The Man from Earth" at 8 o'clock."
"..."
On January 2nd, most of the news on the Internet was about Qin Xiaobao's new movie. On the first day of New Year's Day at the box office, "This Man is from Earth" made great progress and won the championship with a box office of nearly 80 million.
Douban score is 8.6, Maoyan score is 9.4, and media score is 8.2.
The soft science fiction that has been promoted before the release is finally fully revealed to the world. It turns out that the movie can actually be shot like this?
It's just dialogue, relying on profound knowledge, and just arranging a point that is not shocking, and the whole movie is directly sublimated.
Eight million?
This meme was promoted by the film crew themselves. At first, it was criticized by countless so-called insiders and was not favored.
Nowadays, although it is not 100% that high investment equals high quality, the low investment means that the probability of a bad movie is quite high. With the viewing lineup and the theme of science fiction movies, when the concept of eight million was proposed, the media thought it was hype.
Why?
Qin Xiaobao's first award-winning work is low-cost and high-quality, which is considered his style. As an ordinary person, we always like to see small gains, counterattacks, and slaps in the face.
Since some people are willing to exaggerate an investment of 50 million to 500 million, it is naturally possible to do the opposite.
But after actually watching the movie, I realized that it was not false that the promotional expenses exceeded the production expenses.
Moreover, most of the 8 million production costs are estimated to be used to pay for the film's remuneration and wages. The actual scenes and props will not cost much at all.
With tenfold profit on the first day, making money is inevitable.
The most jealous thing is that on the one hand, new audiences are still entering the theater due to word-of-mouth, and on the other hand, some people who have already seen it not only watch it twice and three times, but also spare no effort to praise it on the Internet? It's a very virtuous cycle.
With both box office and word-of-mouth wins, "This Man from Earth" is already destined to be invincible? It is very difficult for movies of the same period to counterattack.
Ning Hao's new work had a box office of 46 million on the first day, which is not bad? However, the ratings on Douban and other places are not high, and most of the comments given by netizens are that it is not a big breakthrough? Changing the soup does not change the medicine.
Several other works withdrew from the competition early, and their film schedules were repeatedly compressed.
The next whole week will be the stage for these two movies.
Feng Dapao, who always likes to fire off guns, also jumped out? There was no bombardment for a rare moment? Instead, he praised Qin Xiaobao greatly? He is said to be the most talented among the younger generation of directors, and he is indeed a novelist? The script is extremely exquisite. If given the chance,
I really hope to cooperate.
It's not just him? Director Ang Lee also expressed his opinion, saying that Qin Xiaobao's fantastic ideas are amazing and worth learning.
Of course, how many people are famous? It’s also indispensable for cats and dogs to come out and play around.
Incomplete Kiwi statistics? In one day, Qin Xiaobao gained two abandoned children, four good brothers, six ex-girlfriends, and what’s more, some were said to be from his parents...
In response to this information, as long as it is not too excessive, Liu Minghua will turn a blind eye and mix in the circle. It is inevitable that he will be popular. This indirectly also shows his personal strength. If it does not cause too much negative impact, let it go.
Go ahead.
Because the cost of spreading rumors is so low, even if you file a lawsuit, you may only be fined a small amount of money and apologized, which is not painful at all.
It also allowed the other party to get the purpose of the hype, which is not worth it.
The box office is high, Qin Xiaobao runs more energetically, Lin Xue, Xu Shaoxiong and the others have returned. As supporting roles, it is quite interesting to follow the promotion for so long.
What's left is that he, his brother, Liu Tianwang, and Sun Li continue to work hard.
The results are also gratifying.
On January 2, the box office was 85 million,
On January 3, the film schedules of all theaters increased, and the single-day box office exceeded 100 million.
On January 4th, the holiday ended, the box office dropped to 42 million, and the total box office exceeded 200 million.
On January 9th, it was the weekend again. Three new films were released and the performance was still strong, with a revenue of 62 million.
On January 15th, half a month after its release, the total box office reached 737 million.
A simple calculation shows that the film shooting investment was 8 million, and the publicity expenses were increased twice, reaching 40 million, which equals a total investment of 50 million.
With a box office of more than 700 million yuan, after deducting film funds, taxes, theater sharing, publicity and distribution expenses, etc., the profit reached an astonishing 120 million yuan.
When Liu Minghua calculated this amount for his two bosses in the office, they were all shocked.
"Damn it, let's split it between the two of us, isn't it 60 million per person?" Even if the big dog's previous business only had a net income of several million a year, in these four months, he has made ten years' worth of profits?
"No wonder it's said that movies are huge profits, everyone likes to do it."
"The box office has basically stabilized now, and the revenue will not be too much in the future. The daily box office is only 2-3 million."
"That's enough, Mad, you can buy two bowls of porridge, eat one bowl and pour another bowl." Xiang Yang was very excited: "Why do you have so much money!"
"Thank you two bosses!" After Liu Minghua finished speaking, he stood up, bowed and saluted.
"What's going on?" Qin Xiaobao didn't know why.
"We also made money, didn't we? You won't forget, right? We received investment from employees, and I invested 50,000."
"Oh, hahaha, why did I think you were so excited?" Qin Xiaobao really forgot: "You deserved it in the first place, you shared the risk."
"If you present such a lineup, many people will be willing to invest. Director Qin, you are giving us opportunities to make money and benefits, so you must be grateful." Liu Minghua was very sincere.
"Hey, if you invest 50,000 yuan, how much income will you get?" Xiang Yang came over.
"Sixteen employees invested a total of 670,000 yuan. According to the ratio, the total income is a little more than 10 million. The income from investing 50,000 yuan is about 760,000 yuan!"
"Oh, that's good. Is it after tax?"
"Yes!" Liu Minghua nodded heavily. His annual salary was only more than 500,000 yuan. This was an unexpected surprise: "That's why I have to thank the two bosses."
Qin Xiaobao waved his hand: "Mr. Xiang and I told you at the beginning that it was all voluntary. If you lose money, your investment will be in vain and will not be returned. Fortunately, luck is on our side. You have made money, which means that
The two of us earn more, and we will work harder in the future. In the end, it will be us who benefit, and we don’t have to bear the burden.”
Liu Minghua nodded, stood up and opened the door of the office. There was a row of people standing outside, all of them employees.
"Thank you, boss!" Everyone collectively bowed in thanks.
"I've passed it, I've passed it!" Xiangyang quickly tried to dissuade him, unable to stop the smile on his face.
It's normal for employees to be happy. Some may be as low as hundreds of thousands, while some may be as low as Liu Minghua's salary of 2 or even 3 years. Their happiness is overwhelming, right?
Some of the more than 20 people present had just joined and had missed the opportunity. While they were envious, they were also full of hope for the future of the company and themselves.
"Well, I can have a good year when I go home this year," Xiang Yang said with a smile.
The employees nodded.
"But let me explain first, this money cannot be obtained so quickly. It is layer by layer. I guess you have to wait for a while, so you won't be in a hurry."
"Won't!"
"Okay, just don't be in a hurry." Xiang Yang talks more than Qin Xiaobao in the company. After all, the latter still has a celebrity status, so some words are not suitable for him: "There is still more than a month left before the Chinese New Year, everyone insists
Now, we need to continue to follow up on the finishing work of the film, and there is another important point, which is the Berlin Film Festival in February. The relevant personnel cannot relax, understand!"
"clear."
"In addition, some new employees did not get the opportunity to make a fortune..."
"Hehehe!"
"It doesn't matter, I promise, as long as you work hard, the rewards you deserve will definitely be great. As long as the company makes money, you will definitely have something to eat!"
Bang bang bang bang!
"Okay, stop being stuck and get to work!" Xiang Yang waved his hand.
The employees went back to their respective positions with smiles, and the new employees looked at the old employees with envy. Those who had little investment regretted why they had not been more decisive and generous, and just called for a dinner together after get off work. The whole company was full of energy.
