The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 299 The Walking Money Printing Machine
"Hong Chen, good news, our movie is popular!"

The next day, Hong Chen received a call from Wu Zhan.

"Haha, Brother Zhan is out, one is worth two." Hong Chen joked with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's a must." Wu Zhan said proudly. The two are friends, so they are used to it.

"Guo Fan is so excited right now, he wants to invite the two of us to dinner, he will be the host tonight, are you free?"

"No problem." Hong Chen readily agreed.

At this moment, Guo Fan was really excited.

He paid too much for this movie.

From the very beginning when I was looking for actors, I ran into obstacles everywhere. Everyone said that movies with this theme are not suitable for the Chinese market. Fortunately, there are people like Hong Chen and Wu Zhan.

As for the lack of investment, it all depends on the strong support of Hong Chen and Wu Zhan.

The last thing is to do special effects. He works overtime every night, watching the post-production, so he spreads a cotton mat in the post-production room, and often sleeps for two or three hours at night, just to get the best effect.

He knew that he was burdened with hundreds of millions of assets, and he couldn't fail during the Spring Festival.

Fortunately, the sky pays off, and today's "The Wandering Earth", with its solid plot, gorgeous special effects, and warm scenes, is constantly rising in popularity, and its scenery is second to none!
The audience seethed.

They cheered in the circle of friends: "Little broken ball, rush up!"

And appealed to their relatives, friends, and family members to watch "The Wandering Earth" together.

why?
Counting forward, in that year, the big movie "Where Are We Going, Dad" became a dark horse in the Spring Festival, and won 7 million box office, successfully surpassing "Let the Bullets Fly", ranking eighth in the box office of Chinese films!
A year later, the big movie "Run, Brother" was released. Amid the scolding of a bunch of people, it also successfully swept away 4.3 million box office.

At this point, the era of "traffic is king" in the Huaxia market is coming!
Writers, actors, hosts, and singers have discovered that making variety shows and turning them into movies can also make money?Want to be on the big screen?So, they scrambled to break into the film and television market, and counted the money until their hands cramped.

Traffic actors have won a lot of money with their poor acting skills.

"Tiny Times" scored 4.5 on Douban, with a total box office of over 20 billion;
The "Predecessor" series Douban averaged 5.5, with a total box office of 22 billion;
A few years ago, Douban's "Kung Fu Yoga" with 5 points even won the Spring Festival championship with a box office of 17 billion.

Capital carnival, flow of money, and audiences are becoming more and more numb.

Celebrities become hypnotists, feeding shit to the audience while telling the audience that shit is delicious.

Afterwards, "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Mekong" were released, and the audience exclaimed: Fuck, Huaxia can still make such a movie?

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released, and the audience burst into tears and movie tickets. We finally have excellent realistic movies in China!

Now, "Flow Earth" is here!
We also have sci-fi special effects movies!

Huaxia's audience finally woke up, the "quality era" has really come!

The reason why the audience is so excited is actually very simple.

"Because we want to see the next movie like this!"

"The Wandering Earth" is not perfect, but it has made a start for China's science fiction movies. If one is successful, there will be ten, and if ten are successful, there will be a hundred!

Moreover, in addition to this, the core of what "The Wandering Earth" really promotes is Chinese culture.

The earth is in crisis, what will happen according to Hollywood movies about personal heroism?
Of course a hero appears and saves the planet!

If it is a disaster movie, either the final ending is that human beings are busy, and the earth is still destroyed, or the disaster is ended.

Only Chinese films have a "local complex".

That is, the sun is going to explode, we cannot abandon our earth, we have to take the earth with us to leave!

This is even more so in the subsequent plots. The Hangzhou underground city is flooded with magma, and the protagonist group goes to rescue.Just when the audience thought that the protagonist group would descend to earth like gods to save Hangzhou.

As a result, the audience was told directly within 2 minutes that Hangzhou was gone and no one left.

After that, what happened to the protagonist group, and what happened to Liu Peiqiang on the satellite?
The former unites the countries of the world to save the earth together.The latter entered the control room only with the help of Makarov risking his life.

The Hollywood movie style will tell the audience that the government cannot be trusted, and that salvation depends on oneself, on a certain hero,
But Huaxia's movie tells everyone: the way to save everyone is that everyone participates in order to save themselves.Even if 10, 20, or even 150 million people died, as long as 35 billion people can survive, it represents hope.

This is China's cultural output, with China's unique cultural charm.

Netizens were moved by this charm, swiped it once, swiped it twice, swiped it three times, and some even posted a Weibo post of "The Wandering Earth" by themselves five times, which won countless likes from netizens.

This movie is a total hit.

The box office broke 3 million on the first day, and Maoyan predicted that the total box office would continue to rise. Within a few days, Maoyan finally predicted that the box office would reach 51 billion!
A very scary number.

On the other hand, "Pudong Fortress", after its release, the word-of-mouth, box office, and screening rate all went off the shelves all the way, and the final predicted total box office was only 1.7 million.

You know, the movie has an investment of 3 million yuan.

The investor lost money to grandma's house.

And on the ninth day, "Pudong Fortress" was forced to be removed from the shelves because the screening rate was less than 0.3%.

Movie theaters also need to make money, not to mention the golden time of the Spring Festival, when no one watches it. Naturally, this movie, like those small-produced movies, disappears immediately during the Spring Festival, just like a passing cloud.

"Pudong Fortress" became the first big-budget movie to be pulled from the shelves during the Spring Festival.

On the other hand, Guo Fan was really grateful to Hong Chen.

During the banquet, I tried my best to toast.

"Lord Hong, I respect you for this cup. Without you this time, the movie would not have achieved what it is today." Guo Fan was very polite, and his title has changed now.

In fact, this is indeed the case. As a young actor and top star in the entertainment industry, Hong Chen took the lead role as a temporary firefighter. He did not need a salary to make up for the investment, which was of great help to this movie.

It is also thanks to Hong Chen that he can achieve such results now.

Of course, Hong Chen also made a lot of money from this movie.

Even because he invested the most, close to one-third, plus the box office share set by his starring role, the biggest beneficiary of this movie is actually Hong Chen.

After the movie's box office came out, everyone in the investment department of Hongchen Studio was shocked.

I still remember that when Hong Chen decided to invest in "The Wandering Earth", many people in the investment department opposed it.

They are a professional evaluation team and think that this film has no market and the return on investment is very low.

Moreover, the company's capital turnover was relatively difficult at that time, so it was very risky to directly spend [-] million yuan.

Fortunately, Ge Chen persuaded everyone in time at that time. Ge Chen said that the boss's vision is not bad, so you have to trust the boss.

Hong Chen had made such a decision, so they naturally had no way to object, but in fact, many people had a mentality of waiting to see the excitement.

Anyway, the [-] million yuan is not mine, so if I lose it, I will lose it.

But now, after the box office came out, everyone in the investment department was stunned.

If there is no accident, this will be the investment that Hongchen Studio has earned the most.

It even surpassed the income of the Tang Tan series.

Moreover, the income brought by this film to the company exceeds the sum of the investment department's hard work in investing in so many film and television works in the past two years.

Hong Chen was simply a walking money printing machine.

This vision is amazing!
