Nezha's performance has exploded, and the Internet has become more and more popular. Even issues related to animation have become hot searches. Many people are paying attention to this industry that has been ignored by everyone.
In the past, everyone thought that if you wanted to make an adult animation, you would need to spend a lot of money. Starting from the modeling of the characters is a waste of money, not to mention those fancy fights and special effects scenes that require money.
The special effects of the animation Nezha are very good. It can be seen that a huge amount of money was spent on the production. It is a conscientious animation and the money is spent wisely.
In the past, everyone believed that if you spend a huge amount of money to invest in an animation, everyone may not like it, and because of its own audience problems, it may not have appeal, the box office will not be high, and there is no possibility of getting back the money.
Very low.
The risks are high, the investment is high, and the returns are unclear, so people don’t dare to try it easily, or they just test the waters and invest in animation movies, but they don’t spend too much money to see the audience’s reaction.
The result is that the quality is not up to par, or the plot is okay but the special effects are too distracting and the audience is dissatisfied, so it fails.
In this way, in the eyes of capital, animation movies are not worth large investments. The returns are too small and the risks are too high. Few animations make big profits. Occasionally, there are a few that can make a small profit. Most of them are direct losses.
Xiang.
Capital believes that it is better to invest so much money in an animation with an uncertain future than to invest in film and television dramas. Even if it is a popular star, the star’s own appeal is still there? The data will not be too bad? The income is also guaranteed to a certain extent.
Now, the success of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" has truly allowed everyone to see the terrifying rate of return in the animation industry. Especially the popularity of online discussions and the enthusiasm of netizens, it can be seen that everyone is very optimistic about the prospects of this industry.
The box office on the first day may have earned back the production cost? This is too profitable, and the return of this kind of income is too huge!
Chen Mubai’s success has really made capital focus on the animation industry. Many people are ready to take a share of the pie.
"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" was a box office hit, and Chen Mubai did not go back. Lu Fang was in charge of all the follow-up publicity plans.
Is Chen Mubai still filming "Operation Red Sea" in Africa? Is the filming of this movie almost completed? As long as there is a little more time, it can be completely shot, and the final finishing work is already underway.
All his attention is on this movie, and his attention to Nezha is limited, so he can only leave it to Lu Fang. After all, the animation is completed? What he can do is limited, the most he can do is promote it? Use his personal abilities to expand his influence.
The effect will definitely be there, but essentially it still depends on the quality of the animation itself.
After the premiere, word-of-mouth exploded, and all the hot searches were on this topic. It has been very successful.
The hot search topic lasted all day? Many people went out of their way to watch this anime movie? Most people were conquered and came back to continue to support this movie.
The fermentation is still going on, the popularity is not diminishing, there are more and more discussions about animation, and there are also many related topics about destiny and intention.
"Mubai, the box office of the first day of the movie is out, Nezha got 350 million at the box office!"
After the first day, Lu Fang got Nezha's first-day box office results and immediately reported the good news to Chen Mubai as soon as possible!
This is a very explosive result. Few movies have such good results on the first day!
And judging from the current trend of popularity and word-of-mouth, the popularity of the movie will not diminish, and the box office will definitely not be low!
"Very good, we won the first battle." Chen Mubai smiled.
He expected the box office explosion, but he didn't expect the results to be so good on the first day. He thought it would take a few days to wait for word-of-mouth to develop, but it turned out to be a hit on the first day.
"Well, I'm already making posters, and the movie tickets in the theater are selling very well, and the attendance rate is very high." Lu Fang said with a smile.
"This is a good start."
"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is Mubai Pictures' first self-produced film since its establishment. Everyone still attaches great importance to it and has given a lot of resource support.
Fortunately, the box office results were worthy of this support, and the film was a hit in the first place.
Every time a movie reaches a box office figure, a new poster will be released to celebrate it. With the stamina of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", a lot of congratulatory posters are needed.
Although many of Mubai Entertainment's theaters are located in third- and fourth-tier small cities, with its excellent works and Chen Mubai's appeal, the cinema tickets are selling well.
As long as excellent works appear, people will still be willing to pay for them. This will naturally increase the attendance rate.
The films owned by each theater chain are also different. Not all films will be released, and theater chains purchase them based on the situation. In the past, some theater chains did not have Chen Mubai's works.
Then if others want to watch it, they can only bypass this theater and go to other theaters to watch it.
For example, Starway Cinema does not have any works by Chen Mubai~
There are also some theaters that did not choose to release Chen Mubai's works at the beginning. Later, when Chen Mubai rose to prominence, he did not sell them to some theater chains.
To put it simply, you ignored me back then, but you can’t reach me now.
After the establishment of Mubai Films, it goes without saying that their own films were definitely included in the list, and they were given an absolutely high proportion of film schedules and promotions. The remaining films were not so high-profile.
Moreover, they have also purchased a lot of other movie rights and are operating them very well.
There are all the works that should be included, and coupled with Chen Mubai’s appeal, it’s understandable that more people will come here to watch movies.
Lufang is also actively expanding the scope of first- and second-tier cities, but the difficulty is relatively high. They are generally in the hands of top entertainment companies, and theater chains are difficult to integrate. They can only encroach little by little, and it takes time to develop.
"Brother Lu, I'm sorry to trouble you over there." Chen Mubai said.
"It's the hard work for you over there." Lu Fang said with a smile: "It's the hot season over there, so filming must be difficult."
It was now July, and the weather in Africa was already hot enough. It was also the hottest season, and the scorching sun was killing people. In addition, their scenes required heavy loads, which was a torture for everyone.
It's not a pleasant feeling to have to wear military uniforms and carry weapons to shoot under such high temperatures.
As long as they stand in the sun, they will be sweating profusely within a few minutes, let alone running around with equipment.
"Yeah, fortunately, the filming is almost finished, so I can go back then."
Lu Fang said: "You can rest assured while filming. Don't worry about anything. Leave it to me here and wait for me to give you the good news!"
Lu Fang was worried that Chen Mubai would care about "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World". After all, Chen Mubai has been paying close attention to this animated movie since the beginning of its production. Now is the time to release and test the results, so he is worried that he will be distracted.
Chen Mubai nodded with a smile and said, "I can rest assured that you can do things well. I know you have a good psychological foundation for your performance on the first day. You don't have to worry about netizens not buying it."
"That's true. After seeing this result and reputation, we have settled down." Lu Fang smiled.
"Let's do this for now. I'll let you know if anything happens. I won't disturb you anymore. We'll have a good celebration when you come back!"
"good."
After Lu Fang and Chen Mubai finished talking, they hung up the phone.
No matter whether Chen Mubai is resting or filming a movie, Lu Fang can't disturb him. All he needs to do is tell him the news.
Chen Mubai told the crew the news, and everyone cheered. After all, he is from a company. If the company makes a hit, everyone will be happy.
The tiring shooting schedule of the past few days took away a lot of this good news, and everyone was happy to shoot again.
...
Early August.
The weather in the Magic City is still hot, the sky is blue, the sun is high, and occasionally a breeze blows by, bringing with it bursts of heat.
"It's better for us to stay here and feel comfortable."
"Yeah, this is too cool!"
"I've only been away for a few months, but I feel like I've been away for several years. I miss my motherland and this magical city!"
"Ha ha!"
A group of people walked out of the exit exit chatting and laughing.
They are the crew of "Operation Red Sea". Because there were too many people, everyone returned to China in batches.
Although the weather in the Magic City is also very hot, for them who have just returned from Africa, it is not hot at all, it is very cool...
Only those who have lived in both places know the intensity of this contrast!
The past few months in Africa have been extremely difficult. The environment there was dirty, unsafe, and I couldn't eat or sleep well.
If it weren't for the heavy shooting tasks that made everyone so exhausted, it would have been difficult to sleep.
The environment is so bad that we still live in a tent in the desert. Unless we are so tired, it would be really difficult to fall asleep.
Finally finished filming the movie, returned to the motherland, and set foot on the land of Magic City. Everyone felt like they were in heaven.
The filming of "Operation Red Sea" started in April and lasted for 4 months. Basically all the scenes were filmed and we are just waiting for post-production.
This movie is Chen Mubai's longest-lasting movie, and it took 4 months to shoot!
Change to "Infernal Affairs", which has been released in the past 4 months...
The main reason is that the two movies are of different genres and the difficulty of filming is also different. "Infernal Affairs" is both a great veteran drama, and there are basically very few ngs. Even if there are, Chen Mubai only needs to say what kind of feeling he wants, and he will do it next time.
Out.
"Operation Red Sea" is different. The most disturbing thing is not in the emotions, but in the process, including the shooting and running scenes, which are really grinding.
Everyone would rather shoot scenes of communication, at least to feel better physically, but it is precisely because of this environment that makes everyone's feeling of exhaustion more real.
During the filming, I felt really tired after fighting for a long time, but the effect was still very good.
"Everyone has worked hard during this period. Go back and have a good rest for two days." Chen Mubai said to everyone: "After you have rested, come back to the celebration banquet."
"Okay!" Everyone was very happy and then left.
In an instant, only Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao were left.
"Where are you going?" Chen Mubai looked at Tao Yaoyao and asked.
"Go home, I haven't seen my dad for a long time." Tao Yaoyao said.
"Okay, I'll take you back. Don't run away these days. Get some rest at home. You've been working hard these days." Chen Mubai said sincerely.
"Yeah." Tao Yaoyao nodded lightly.
When Chen Mubai looked at the well-behaved Tao Yaoyao, his complexion became much darker, which was all caused by filming.
But she is a female reporter after all, so her acting role is relatively better, unlike him who is exposed to wind and rain every day, and he is more dark.
He stretched out his hand and tucked a piece of Tao Yaoyao's messy hair behind her ear, then took her hand and said with a smile, "Let's go."
The two of them left the airport like this. Before they went to Africa, they parked their car in the garage. For so many days, parking fees cost a lot of money.
"We're here." Chen Mubai looked at Tao Yaoyao and said, "I won't go in. I still have things to deal with."
"Okay, then go slow on the road." Tao Yaoyao nodded, then stretched out his head, kissed Chen Mubai's lips, and warned: "Go and rest after you finish handling the matter. Don't be too tired. I will check on you.
!”
At the end of the story, she was afraid that Chen Mubai would not follow her request, so she raised her little fist to show off.
Chen Mubai couldn't help but laugh. Looking at the charming and naive Tao Yaoyao, his face couldn't help but become softer: "Don't worry, I will definitely listen to Teacher Tao!"
"Hehe~" Tao Yaoyao smiled: "Then I'm leaving!"
Tao Yaoyao opened the car door and got out of the car. Chen Mubai got out of the car and took the luggage out of the trunk.
"Sister Qin, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first and take care of Yaoyao~" Chen Mubai greeted Qin Qiu.
"I won't treat her badly." Qin Qiu said helplessly, could she still treat Tao Yaoyao badly?
"Sorry to bother Sister Qin." Chen Mubai smiled sheepishly, then got in the car and left.
When the two came back, Qin Qiu had already known about it and was waiting at home. The servants carried their luggage and they returned to the house.
"Yaoyao, you are so dark..."
"It must have been very hard to film this movie. I see that Chen Mubai has also become a lot darker. It seems that you have suffered a lot~"
When the drama was being filmed, Qin Qiu didn't go, so Tao Yaoyao went there with a few life assistants.
Qin Qiu wanted to come, but Tao Yaoyao refused. The relationship between her and Tao Qingchao had just begun. It was the honeymoon period. Tao Yaoyao didn't want to break them up and give them more time to get along.
