From traffic to movie star

Chapter 81 The Story of Time

On the Internet, the conspiracy theory that Wei Xun may be persecuted by Tianguang Media is still very lively.

After Wei Xun made a brief response, he chose to join the group "Chinese Partner" in a low-key manner.

Facing the media, he has already explained very clearly that this matter is a misunderstanding, as to whether others believe it or not, that is someone else's business.

While driving, Mao Bin was thinking about this month's itinerary: "Brother Xun, today is the 20st. In [-] days, our lawsuit with Tianguang Media will start. Are you going to stay in the crew of "Chinese Partner" all the time?"

Because of being blocked by Tianguang Media and Dynasty Entertainment, Wei Xun currently has no other resources besides filming.

As Wei Xun's manager, Mao Bin naturally took time off, even when Wei Xun entered the filming group, he followed him all the time.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the month, the first batch of proceeds from the two songs "Young and Promising" and "The Devil from Heaven" arrived in the account.

Some time ago, Wei Xun also filmed two endorsements of Guanchi Group, so after deducting the monthly payment, although he is not rich in funds at present, it is barely enough.

"For "Chinese Partner", let's delay a little bit. On the 3rd, I will go to "Immersive Sound" to help Wen Tao record a pilot film. This month's confrontation with Tianguang cannot be stopped, because it is directly related to the upcoming lawsuit. win or lose."

Wei Xun said: "Let the rumors on the Internet slow down first. Now that the warm-up has begun, we must completely stir up the heat, and then find an opportunity to amplify our moves."

Mao Bin clicked his tongue when he heard the words: "Isn't today's move considered a big move?"

In the past few months, every time Wei Xun cheated, Mao Bin was the only witness.

In his opinion, brother Xun's tricks are getting more and more embarrassing every time.

Wei Xun glanced over upon hearing this.

Mao Bin smiled embarrassingly, just in front of the "Chinese Partner" crew, so he hurried to find a place to park.

Not surprisingly, there were a lot of reporters outside the crew, all of whom were staying with Wei Xun.

Wei Xun did not accept the interview this time, Shao Bing heard that he had arrived, and called the crew to help cover, and finally managed to get rid of this group of ferocious media people.

After entering the crew, Jiang Duzhou also came over, with a concerned look on his face: "How is it, are you okay?"

Wei Xun smiled and said, "Fortunately, don't listen to rumors outside, I'm fine."

"As long as it's okay, Lao Jiang and I were talking about it just now, but I'm looking forward to you." Shao Bing grabbed Wei Xun's shoulders and walked into the crew, saying: "Come on, let's go and see how the two of us are filming. , can you be satisfied?"

Wei Xun was away this month, and Shao Bing took the shots of himself and Jiang Duzhou, leaving Wei Xun's shots empty.

But Wei Xun is the male protagonist, and the story of "Chinese Partner" is still a story dominated by three men. There is no way to completely ignore Wei Xun in many scenes.

Hearing Shao Bing's words, Wei Xun said strangely: "It's not that I don't know your level, do you still need me to keep an eye on it?"

"Xunxun, you don't know how much pressure old Shao has been on recently. At that time, on the set of "Wuwen Xidong", you signed a guarantee agreement with President Hu for 5000 million yuan. In conversion, "Chinese Partner" will let you go Times Pictures made a net profit of [-] million."

Jiang Duzhou said beside him: "Time Pictures invested 1000 million in, and if they want to take away 5000 million, it means that the final box office of "Chinese Partner" cannot be less than 4.5 million. You said that old Shao Wanyi ruined the film. Didn't he completely screw you over?"

After a movie is released at the box office, a small part of tax must be paid first, then half will be distributed to the theater chain, and another part will be distributed to the distributor, and finally it will be regarded as the net profit earned by the film investor.

For example, if a movie has a box office of 30.00 million, then after the accounts are divided among all parties, the investor should get about 300% three, which is [-] million.

"Chinese Partner" invested 3000 million, Chi Tang, Wei Xun and Times Pictures each had 1000 million, and they wanted all three parties to get a profit of 5000 million. As Jiang Duzhou said, the total box office should not be less than 4.5 million.

No wonder Shao Bing was under a lot of pressure.

You know, the highest box office of the films directed by Shao Bing has not exceeded 2000 million. This year, "Forensic Chronicle" directed by him invested more than 1.3 million at that time, and the final box office revenue was [-] million. It has now reached the box office of China's local movies this year. Ninth, Times Pictures has been very satisfied.

Including this year, the creator of the highest box office record for Chinese local movies is the disaster movie "After the Earthquake" starring Bai Qianchi, a brother of Dynasty Entertainment, with a box office revenue of 6.95 million.

Sadly, at the beginning of this year, a technologically innovative sci-fi masterpiece from Hollywood, the 3D blockbuster "Blue Man" played on an i-max screen, raked in 27.8 billion US dollars worldwide, and 13.2 billion yuan in the Chinese film market !

The gap is simply overwhelming.

As a time traveler, Wei Xun knows that not only in this time and space, but also in his original world, in this time period of 2010, the box office in Chinese is equally miserable.

But precisely because of the impact of Hollywood blockbusters and the introduction of technological innovation, while the Chinese film market was impacted, it was also on the fast track.

Capitalists who have seen the profits of the film market have come to an end, and the number of movie theaters across the country has grown at a speed visible to the naked eye. Using the latest i-max screen technology, the land of China has completely become a box office granary that cannot be ignored in the world.

In that world, around 2010, the annual box office champion of movies was less than 7 million.

However, in the two years after 2010, the box office of Huaxia movies doubled crazily. In 2012, in just two years, the annual box office was able to break out more than one billion yuan.

Then in the next five or six years, the annual box office crown went from one billion to two billion, three billion, and finally even broke through five billion!

Let's not talk about what the future will look like, but in this time and space this year, the i-max screen technology has just been passed from Hollywood. "Blue Man" has harvested 13 billion box office in China in one go, initially detonating this market.

As long as the publicity is proper, "Chinese Partner" can definitely get enough box office.

This is why Wei Xun dared to take a gamble!

Because publicity requires traffic to achieve, and Wei Xun has created a disturbance on the Internet in the past two months, which one does not come with a terrifying traffic attention?
Of course, pure traffic is not enough. If you want to have a better publicity effect, you must learn to realize the traffic.

Let's talk about the crew.

Shao Bing called up the recent film, showed Wei Xun a brief look, and then asked, "How is it? Does it meet your expectations?"

To be honest, "Chinese Partner" is a nostalgic film, and Shao Bing has no pressure to direct it.

But Shao Bing and Jiang Duzhou's acting skills were even more stressful.

The footage was well shot.

After watching it, Wei Xun said with a smile: "The finished film is very effective. I will file a lawsuit with Tianguang Media this month, and the disturbance will definitely not be small. We will take this opportunity to compare "Wuwen Xidong" and "China Partner" to join the publicity."

Shao Bing frowned and asked, "How to publicize?"

"I have too many things to do this month, so I can't focus on filming, so in the last two days, I have been shooting some fragmented shots on the set, cutting them with your shots, and then releasing a short mv video, which only takes a few minutes It takes a lot of technology.”

Wei Xun thought for a moment, and said, "Then I'll make a song for the mv, and the three of us will sing together."

In the film and television industry, it is not surprising that there are many precedents for song pre-heating to drive movie box office or TV drama ratings.

And Wei Xun has also written two hit songs "Young and Promising" and "The Devil from Heaven".

But...writing a song that three people sing together feels outrageous no matter how you listen to it.

Jiang Duzhou and Shao Bing looked at each other, both feeling speechless, but they still asked, "What song?"

Wei Xun said with a smile: "The name of this song is, "Story of Time"."
