Chapter 376 Let Me Have a Spring Chapter and New York
Chapter 376 Let Me Go Back to New York After the Spring Festival
On December 1991, 12, the new Western Lunar New Year file arrived, and theaters around the world were bombarded by (Invincible Lucky Star) starring Jim Carrey and Courteney Cox.
Although this movie was only proposed by Shao Yifu on November 11th. At that time, Jim Carrey was in the crew of (Ghost in Disguise) and the production had not yet been completely finished, but (Invincible Lucky Star) had no special effects, and the story was simple...
The whole process is just to see the performance and personal performance of comedians.
Finished in less than 40 days and put it into post-production, publicity?Mainly various TV stations, the program pushes Jim Carrey.
Jim Carrey in this plane also became popular with the help of a movie (Xinbuqing), and Xinbuqing represents Xu Jinheng's turnaround with an investment of 25 million Hong Kong dollars on the surface and a total global box office of [-] billion Hong Kong dollars.
No one ever said that Ah Heng was a rich man, and Jia Ling became an international actress.
Jim Carrey's popularity in Europe and the United States is also a crazy turnaround, and Courteney Cox is also one of the heroines of the two-season hit (Friends).
Therefore, the publicity has been fully paid, and it is impossible to lose money. It is this Jim Carrey, with his comedy performance, who made a not-so-exciting (Aircraft Detective) win more than 1 million worldwide before (Ghost in Disguise) was released. US dollar box office.
After his hilarious power exploded ? ?
From the 24th to the 29th, in a six-day first weekend, the box office hit 3900 million US dollars in North America, and 3100 million US dollars in Europa, not to mention the scope of East Asia and Southeast Asia. This trend is all about making Shao Yifu win. .
Immediately, the 85-year-old Shao Daheng once again attracted the attention of the Hong Kong Island film industry, and then... everyone read it a few times, and felt that the script was just like that, not very exciting, no exciting acting, and no great special effects.
This is...
It's completely like a star boy who sweeps the world with his personal charm!
Courteney was ecstatic. Talking about her qualifications, she was an Asian drama student in 1986. Which of Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, and Winona Ryder in the same class in the same year is not a female superstar? ?
Although she is one of the heroines in the two seasons of (Friends), she has become popular in the TV circle, but there are really not many masterpieces in movies.
In (Invincible Lucky Star), some people pretend to be crazy and laugh at the aunt's route, but it is indeed a super impressive resume for her. With this resume, the salary will skyrocket!
When the time entered 1992, in January, the number of theaters in the mainland and Hong Kong Haowan was already overflowing.
For example, in Hong Kong Island, even if a movie starts with 20% of its schedule, the daily limit box office is close to 260 million Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, blockbuster movies such as (The Dragon and the Phoenix), (Taiping Wheel), (A Lang’s Story) and (God’s Fortune) all start from 30 %The amount of filming started, and it went online one week at a time.
At its peak, a six-hall theater played five different blockbuster movies at the same time.
This belongs to the Lunar New Year file before the Spring Festival, and the official war is raging.
………………
Huayuan Phase I.
When Winona Ryder entered the community in a nanny car, she quickly got out of the car, breathed fresh air and ran back to Building 3.
It took a few months to film in Hollywood (the nun is also crazy), which really made her uncomfortable. For example, some people who wanted to pursue her, even if the pan-Asian bodyguards were absolutely reliable, caused her a certain amount of annoyance.
There are still some big bosses who want to rule her unspokenly?Even more outrageous, it was still done by Panya bodyguards.
Nothing happened, but compared with the relaxed and safe environment during filming and living in Hong Kong Island, she is no longer used to life in Hollywood.
On the other hand, all kinds of gossip magazines and countless newspapers reported her scandals casually, and often they just started with a picture, and the content was all guided by the editor's public opinion? ?
It made her even more uncomfortable to the point of physical and mental explosion.
Although she was considered popular when she was filming (Spider-Man 1) before, compared with (Spider-Man 1) which earned more than 8 million US dollars in box office worldwide, it is a completely different era.
When she got to the door, she walked all the way without any harassment or obstruction. Winona still complained happily, "The first phase of Huayuan is still a stable and comfortable place to live..."
At this moment, a figure came out from Building 2, it was Courteney Cox, her eyes lit up when she saw Winona, "Winona? Ha, long time no see, by the way, (Spiderman [-]) Is it about to start up? I really envy you, and it’s time to use the second part to crazily gain influence.”
Winona was stunned, extremely speechless, "Why do I feel that this is not good news?"
Wouldn't it be necessary to go to North America, Hollywood or New York to shoot Spider-Man 2? ?
Courteney said unexpectedly, "What's wrong? What happened to you over there?"
Winona smiled wryly and complained, "Don't talk about anything else, it's not a big deal, but those unscrupulous media paparazzi are too damned, I just had a dinner with many actors of the crew, and then I was hacked into someone We're in love."
"I made it clear that I don't have a relationship, and the group of people who rushed to the street said that I discriminated against black actors... It also caused many people to surround me to protest."
"I clarified publicly again. Later, when I got closer to some actresses in the crew, they reported that I like the same sex... It was like a nightmare."
"When I go out on Hong Kong Island, even if I am recognized in a public place, at most three bodyguards can maintain order. When the police come to help, there are less than 8 people around me, and I dare not go out shopping."
Courteney, "..."
She can't fix it anymore, is this the price of fame?It seems that there are not so many messy things in Hong Kong Island, right? ?
The more serious gossip is nothing more than the former Wu Zhenyu cooking shit behind the scenes, and Li Lianjie (Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng) after the release, was bad-mouthed by the media that Ajie has hit the street, has no box office appeal, and is about to be eliminated by fans...
What happened to Winona over there!
Confused for a while, she also smiled wryly, "December 1990, 12, (Spider-Man 24) will be released worldwide, and it will be January 1, 1992. The preparations for the second part and various model productions must be arranged. .”
"It's the third part of Most Wanted, and it can start filming. I heard (Jurassic Park 3) will also start filming after the Spring Festival."
"In the first year of 1992, three movies with super special effects went to war at the same time. Even if they were released at the end of 92 or early 93, it would be a super audio-visual lineup."
Winona felt dizzy for a while, "I'm numb, wait, I'll go and beg Ah Xin, let her help me beg the boss, let me spend the Spring Festival on Hong Kong Island and then go back to New York."
"Let's talk about it after a month's rest. At worst, I'll shoot other people's scenes first."
When she greeted and ran into the building, Courteney Cox was also numb. You, a beautiful white girl from my sister's family, are you having a ghostly Chinese New Year? ?
………………
February 2st, the first day of the new year.
It has been released worldwide for more than a month, and Europa and North America (Invincible Lucky Star), which scored 1.9 million US dollars at the box office, have been drawn one after another. Combined with the data of East and Southeast Asia, this comedy movie starring Jim Carrey has a global performance of 2.7 million US dollars.
Jim Carrey's film salary has risen from the previous Hollywood film and television group, which spent 500 million dollars to hire him to film, to 700 million dollars.
then……
(Grandmaid in disguise) was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
In the six days from the 4100th to the 3300th, the box office of North America was [-] million US dollars again, and Europa was [-] million US dollars, a stronger performance than (Invincible Lucky Star).
Don't forget that the lucky star is Christmas and New Year's Day, which are the annual holidays of mainstream Western countries. February 2th to 4th is the Chinese New Year holiday, but basically everyone in Europe and the United States is at work.
At the end of the week's performance, Jim Carrey's film salary once again increased from 700 million US dollars to 1000 million US dollars!The giants in Hollywood really stomped their feet and regretted it. If they could get a few film contracts before these two films?
It will really make money.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Donghuai said to Xiaoxian, "Arrange, VCD player and disc system, let's go online in Wanjia Supermarket."
Wang Zuxian hesitated for a moment, "Are you sure? Hong Kong Island costs 3000 Hong Kong dollars for a machine, which is twice or more cheaper than video recorders and laser disc players, and 20 Hong Kong dollars for a disc?? More than 15 times cheaper than laser discs..."
"If you go up, the impact will come, and it will be difficult to take it back?"
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Technology is developing and the times are advancing. You can't block everyone's way. It's like the pharmaceutical giants control all kinds of serious diseases that take medicine for life. It doesn't mean that there is really no cure."
"If you don't, some people will, so don't be a dragon."
There are many stories about young dragon slayers becoming evil dragons, but here, Zhao Donghuai is not so wretched. Another reason is that the VCD player and disc production technology are also providing for him and Monica Bellucci, Jennifer Kang Nali breaks new river of cash!
Xiaoxian nodded, then pulled Li Jiaxin excitedly and said, "Come on, let's arrange people to go down, and make a detailed statistics of which movies have been hit at the box office after the Lunar New Year file."
"This is about to usher in a new era in the film and television industry!"
Li Jiaxin nodded, "I'm also quite curious, but as long as the source of the film is well controlled, the probability of the box office impact of blockbuster films is not very high, and those bad films and movies with aesthetic fatigue will be seriously affected."
Technology is developing and the times are advancing. Hong Kong Haowan discs are 20 Hong Kong dollars a piece, Daohan and Xingmatai are 30 Hong Kong dollars a piece, and the mainland is tentatively set at 15 yuan.
The price of this level? ?
It depends on the war with pirates. At this price, pirates are quite competitive.
How to say this kind of price, if you buy it alone, you will feel that it is expensive and inappropriate, but the number of video halls that were not too many in the past will be ten times, fifteen times, twenty times in full bloom.
There are video halls everywhere, and with a few wallets, you can watch seven or eight movies overnight... This is the real impact. The blockbuster movie is super blockbuster, and the DVD is released late, so I can't wait to watch it after it is released.
But movies like (Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng) (New Jade Blood Sword) (Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Child Elder) are miserable...
When you released it yourself, because there were too many films of the same type in the previous work, you were too lazy to spend money to watch it. You can just watch it when the video is released later, and then the video hall will be expanded ten or twenty times? ?
What is killed is the living space of those similar films, less brilliant ones, and really bad films.
………………
February 2, the tenth day of the first lunar month.
When Xiao Ma arrives at a certain film crew by car, he smiles and greets everyone when he enters. The main creative team of (A Manga Breaking into the World) has been working together for nearly two months, and they will go back to their hometown for a few days during the Spring Festival.
The reunion after the holiday is not far away from the finale.
After Xiao Ma said hello to the beautiful girl Bai Anni, she 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? Watching a videotape?"
"Hey...it's not a video recorder."
Lin Junxian smiled and said, "It's the Pacific VCD player and VCD discs. Good guy, a finished video tape costs more than 100 Hong Kong dollars. Now the VCD disc is only 20 yuan, which is more than five times cheaper."
"Xiao Ma, we are all insiders, and you are still a top student. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing for us filmmakers and the income from the video tape after the movie is released?"
"Even the VCD player is half the price, from five or six thousand to 3000 yuan a piece."
"It was just launched on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and it's only the tenth day today. I heard that more than 5000 machines were sold on Hong Kong Island in two days, and all kinds of DVDs are also selling well."
Cheng Kui'an came over, winked and said, "Do you know which disc sells the most? I heard that Director Mai, it's Mai Dangjiejie, who made it (what kind of futon), and the movie only earned more than 1800 million when it was released on the Golden Princess box office in Hong Kong dollars.”
"But in the two days between the eighth and ninth day of the lunar new year, the Pacific VCD chain store sold 10 discs! The sales volume was 200 million Hong Kong dollars! Damn, how many people on Hong Kong Island watch DVDs?"
Lin Junxian also had a look of emotion, feeling like he didn't know what to say.
When Liang Jiaren came... Just as he was about to ask everyone what they were up to, Xiao Ma suddenly slapped his forehead, "Director, I want to take a few more days off today, mainly because there was an unexpected accident at home, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Liang Jiaren, "..."
Lao Liang was silent for a few seconds, "How many days?"
Xiao Ma said quickly, "I will definitely be there after the Lantern Festival."
Liang Jiaren was stunned, "No problem, you can just make a phone call if you have something to do at home, why bother to come by yourself? We are also old acquaintances."
In the previous one (Descendants of the Dragon) and this one (a manga into the world), Liang Jiaren also had a lot of scenes with Xiao Ma.
Xiao Ma quickly thanked and apologized to other partners one after another, before running away in a hurry.
I was on vacation at home before, so I really didn't pay attention to this point. He is sure that those who buy so many DVD players and discs are definitely the ones who open video halls. Those who are not short of money?It is only a few wealthy families or rich second and third generations who buy and play for themselves.
He wants to go back immediately to see how the video hall market in Pengcheng is doing... If it's okay, the hundreds of thousands he originally planned to buy a house will be invested in the video hall market first.
This wave of blood earns ah!
It's not just Pengcheng, it's not that he can't try to go to other parts of Guangdong Province other than Pengcheng, it's just that his family has more connections in Pengcheng at most, so it's easy to do things.
If it is only opened in Pengcheng, it will become a hands-off shopkeeper, and the daily business will not be so busy.
………………
February 2, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival.
The festive atmosphere on Hong Kong Island is still strong. Li Jiaxin stood at the Wanjia Cinemas in Tsim Sha Tsui, walked around wearing a hat, sunglasses and masks, and walked up to the manager's office on the fifth floor.
At this moment in this office, the branch manager of Wanjia Supermarket is already waiting in the form of a wage earner. Wang Zuxian asked curiously, "How is it? That Detective Ma Rulong?"
Ah Xin shrugged, "It's pretty miserable, 20% of the filming capacity, I went to see a few halls just now, and the occupancy rate was less than [-]%, and it's already afternoon."
When Xiaoxian looked at the theater manager, the other party smiled wryly, "Now the main force at the box office is (Ghost in Disguise). It has only been in theaters for two weeks. Detective Ma Rulong has been in theaters for seven days, and the box office on Hong Kong Island is only 210 million Hong Kong dollars."
The lineup of Detective Ma Rulong is not bad, Zheng Danrui, Xiao Yingying, Liang Jiahui, Li Zhi four main protagonists, Liu Songren, Li Zixiong and so on.
210 million Hong Kong dollars in seven days? ?The director is Chen Jiashang, a 100-year film industry veteran!
If it weren't for Liang Jiahui's schedule, the filming of the release last year should have been finished, but Ah Hui took it first (91 Black Rose vs. Black Rose), and Ma Rulong's filmed after the filming.
Li Jiaxin said speechlessly, "Cut it into 10% and line up the film, let's release a new film."
The theater manager asked curiously, "Which one will you go to?"
Ah Xin thought for a while, "Let's go to the movie starring Ah Fa and Liu Jialing (I love twisted wood)."
Before (Detective Ma Rulong) was so dismal at the box office after it was released, it also has a lot to do with the reviews of the film critics. The first group of people who watched the movie have publicly called it a bad movie...
The role played by the male lead obviously wants to be like the comedic style of Master Xing, but if he plays it badly, it will easily make people look obscene and obscene. It is a complete waste of Xiao Yingying and Li Zhi's beautiful girls appearing together, and it is also a waste of Liang Jiahui's precious performance. .
The male lead is too failed and ruins the movie.
This is not what one film critic said, but many people said that in many different newspapers, bad film reviews plus VCD players and VCD discs suddenly hit.
In just a few days, the number of video halls on Hong Kong Island has doubled, and it is still developing towards more, and many movie fans have discovered that you go to the video hall to watch movies...the newly opened stores are much cheaper than the old ones .
………………
3 month 6 number.
ATV office.
Zhao Donghuai accepted the investigation report sent by Li Jiaxin and Xiaoxian, and smiled immediately, "It's not bad, the performance is good, Ah Fa's (I love twisted wood), 17 days from the Lantern Festival, 2300 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office?"
"Because the media film critics gave a good evaluation of this local love movie in the New Territories, it seems that the box office has not been affected much."
"For a bad film like (Detective Ma Rulong) and (Four Detectives), the former only earned 320 million Hong Kong dollars until the next release? Did the (Four Detectives) that were released for a week also get more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars?"
These are still movies that Zhao Donghuai has an impression of.
Let’s just say (Detective Ma Rulong) the original trajectory was more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office on Hong Kong Island, but now it’s over 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
The original trajectory of the four major detectives has a box office of more than 1300 million Hong Kong dollars, and it has opened more than 400 million in a week?It is estimated that you can get more than 1000 million in the next gear, and the loss is not too big.
Ah Fa's (I love twisted wood), 17 million in 2300 days, not too far from the original record of 3000 million.
As expected, the impact of this round of VCDs and discs certainly has an impact, but the impact on blockbusters and movies with good critics is limited, and the box office is reduced by [-]-[-]% or [-]-[-]% of the box office.
But the discs are selling fast, which means that the profits from the video tapes have been settled in advance.
In the past, there were more than 100 videotapes and more than 300 laser discs. How could too many people afford them at will?Movies such as (that futon) continue until now, Hong Kong Haowan, Xingmatai and South Korea, island countries, because of the existence of retail terminals...
More than 20 days of retail statistics, sold more than 30 copies, equivalent to more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars!
That's less than a month! !If it can sell nearly ten million Hong Kong dollars a month?His total box office on Hong Kong Island is only 1800 million. As time goes on, this is a settlement cycle that is several times faster than the original video tapes and laser discs.
After all, Hong Kong Haowan is 20 Hong Kong dollars per disc, and Xingmatai and Daohan are 30 Hong Kong dollars per disc, so the total data will be more comprehensive.
Ah Xin asked curiously, "This is the beginning, right?? The big impact depends on the commercial war of pirated discs in the future. If it can't be fought, it will be dead for those genre films that are not so eye-catching or bad ones." faster."
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Hong Kong Haowan, Xingmatai, and South Korea follow this pattern, and the mainland is different..."
So far in the mainland, (Detective Ma Rulong) is also on the top of the list of bad movies. It has been released for more than a week, with a box office of more than 5000 million yuan... The four major detectives went up and won more than 4000 million yuan in a week.
It belongs to the project that you can screen for a long time, even though it is a bad movie, you can still make a lot of money.
Obviously, the 15 yuan DVD, compared with the [-] yuan movie ticket, the movie ticket is still full of attractiveness.
In the next few months or even more than half a year to a year, enough results can be seen!
Bad movies should be hit, and they should be over early, but Zhao Donghuai still makes the most money.
The retail price of 5 yuan in the mainland is profitable, and the retail price is 15 yuan. Video halls are blooming everywhere, and the first few waves are all genuine video tapes.
VCD discs of many old films are sold as if they are cooking oil on fire. After all, if you open a video studio, it is impossible to only put a few discs, right? ?
On April 4st, the film (Ghost in Disguise) was released one after another around the world. In the end, the global hit was 1 million U.S. dollars, which was higher than the original 3.67 version.
At this stage, the island country does not need to sell its ports. The Wanjia cinema line has lasted for one or two months, and the island country has collected more than 9500 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, which is much higher than South Korea's 7200 million Hong Kong dollars.
As the ticket warehouses exploded one after another, Jim Carrey took off on a rocket. Even after more than a month of screening, the DVD of (Geek in Disguise) appeared on the market, and the original version sold well... Many people who didn't go to the cinema to watch the movie watched the DVD Went to the cinema again.
Still the same sentence, the 480p viewing experience on a small screen is not as good as the 4K high-definition viewing quality of a large theater, and the difference is really quite big.
........................
4 month 1 number.
Shek Kip Mei was lucky enough to come to the private room, and Li Xiuxian laughed and toasted, "Little Ma, I respect you, after eating, let's go to Tsim Sha Tsui East nightclub, we won't go home until we're drunk!"
"I cover all expenses!"
(A Comic Going to the End of the World) That kind of small-scale, easy-to-make movie was completed in early March and is scheduled to be released on March 3. Today, the five-day process has been completed.
In five days, Hong Kong Island has more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and the province has saved more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars. It seems that it is difficult to break through 900 million Hong Kong dollars in this port. In the end, Hong Kong Island can have [-] million. It is very good, and the province is not easy to break Ten million.
But this movie became a hit in the mainland, and the data of more than 7000 million yuan in five days can still make Li Xiuxian like... no, it is more than (Descendants of the Dragon).
The RMB in the Mainland is also money!
Moreover, Daohan and Xingmatai, the five countries together have a box office of more than 1300 million Hong Kong dollars, and the production fee is calculated. They have already made a lot of money in the first five days!
Li Xiuxian has already planned to give Xiao Ma another 20 red envelopes.
Xiao Ma smiled and toasted, sighing, "Thank you, Director Li, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Xiao Ma's later generations are also known as the master of persuading alcohol with a large amount of alcohol. He has drunk all over the Internet bigwig circle. Movies have made money very quickly. In the past two months, the chain of video halls he opened in Pengcheng has also made a lot of money.
There is one thing to say, according to the original trajectory of Hong Kong movies...the impact of VCD players and DVDs, there is still no piracy, and an era that dares to kill one, (Detective Ma Rulong) (Pony version of a comic into the world) and the like Movies, such Hong Kong Island box office performance.
The box office is not as high as the salary of actors and stars.
That dead thing is getting more and more thorough.
This plane star Ma Tai, Dao Han and Wan Province have all become ticket warehouses, the theater chain is integrated, and there are big ticket warehouses in the mainland, which has made filmmakers feel the strong changes in the past few months, but compared to the overall situation, it is still Not affected much.
If piracy cannot be controlled, it will be much worse.
For example, if Fei Jing, Hua Zai and others did not make bad films, a large number of practitioners could not afford to eat.
........................
In an office building in Yau Ma Tei, when the Li family's Akai rushed into a certain company and knocked on a certain door, after a while, Old Wu of the Bamboo Club opened the door.
A Kai got a little angry, "Is Ciling finished?"
Old Wu nodded, "Don't worry, Young Master Kai. I just watched the movie twice, and the special effects are still impressive. This movie should sell well."
A Kai wanted to cry, "Why didn't you show it in the Lunar New Year file? If it was released a year ago, there would be no VCD players and VCD discs. The same movie would earn at least a few million more, or even 2000 million in one region."
"If it's a bad movie, it will be even more terrifying."
The impact of the new technology of the times has just emerged, and many filmmakers who have already watched it are dumbfounded. They made a film (Detective Ma Rulong) on Chen Jiashang, and the box office in Hong Kong is more than 300 million. It is really...
If he wasn't the director of 100 Years Films, Xiao Yingying's film salary would be more than 300 million, okay?How about Leung Ka Fai and Lee Chi's remuneration?If you invite Liu Songren and Li Zixiong, both of them will spend millions.
Director Chen of the 100-year film industry perfectly demonstrated how he would have managed a project with a loss of tens of millions if he were an external company.
Zheng Danrui, the hero of the film, was immediately blacklisted by many directors.
However, the stock price of 100 Years Pictures was not affected by this bad movie. Everyone knows that the core creative team of 100 Years Pictures is Zhou Xingxing, Wang Jing, and Liu Dehua, and Chen Jiashang is not a very important role.
This kind of thing makes A Kai feel like he is sitting on pins and needles, and he is also afraid of stabbing the box office. After all, in this project, the Li family holds 50% of the shares.
Old Wu of Zhushe was speechless, "I also want to release it in the Lunar New Year file, but for special effects production, do you know how to do special effects?"
Akai, "..."
Akai lit a cigarette, and then said with red eyes, "(Taiping Wheel) is in January, and they have made a lot of money. Wang Yu, Ke Junxiong, and Xiang Laoshi have made a lot of money."
The film (Taiping Wheel) released between Jim Carrey’s two big movies is indeed a big profit. From the release to the next painting, the box office of Hong Kong Island is more than 2600 million Hong Kong dollars, and the province is 1900 million Hong Kong dollars. Star Matai is 4100 million Hong Kong dollars. and South Korea 3500 million.
These equal 1.62 million Hong Kong dollars.
The key is that the mainland is strong, and the total accumulation of the mainland is 4.9 million yuan.
With an investment of [-] to [-] million yuan, such an outcome? ?Xiang Laoshi and the others were grinning from ear to ear. After all, repairing the Taiping wheel model, custom-made Taiping wheel, Jianyuan wheel...
In fact, it means that the Li family paid 3800 million to help them repair it.
3800 million can do a lot of things!
Without Johnny Depp and Jennifer Aniston, the salary cost has been saved several times.
Zhou Runfa received 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, Liu Xiaoli 500 million, Bingbing 30, and Yuanyuan 5. The money that was cheated by Ju Shao has already included the largest film salary expenses, and the rest can be used to repair the huge pool studio.
After it was released, the total population of Hong Kong Island is more than double that of Hong Kong Island, and the box office is still so much less, which is enough to prove that he is not very popular there, and there are still a lot of scolding, but the big brother in Zhushe is afraid of you Scold them?
This disaster movie did not make much money in both Xingmatai and Daohan.
Strictly speaking, Hong Kong Haowan plus stars Matai Island and South Korea, the total accumulation is only 1.62 million? ?A big action movie (big event) by Liu Dehua can break [-] million or even [-] million Hong Kong dollars in South Korea and Thailand.
In terms of Europe and the United States, (Taiping Wheel) has also accumulated more than 2000 million US dollars in data, but it has spent 500 million US dollars on the announcement... Basically, it is a small profit after paying back the capital.
It took more than a year of busy work before the film was released, and the income was not particularly high, but it must not be said that it was too little. For the group of people who worked on that project, after experiencing the impact of the Wu Yusen incident, it is a blessing to be able to get back their money up.
After working for more than a year, Xiang Laoshi and others contributed 4000% of the profits to Zhao Donghuai, and the profit shared by them was at least 4000 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars or RMB profits.
This still refers to the payment of 9000% of the protection fee. If the protection fee is not paid, each family can theoretically earn [-] to [-] million each!
A Kai sighed again at this moment, "If (Taiping Wheel) is released at this time, there will be no profit of nearly [-] million yuan for each."
A Kai didn't know that Xiang Laoshi and the others would pay [-]% of the protection fee to Zhao Donghuai for blockbuster movies starting from (Crazy Givenchy/Big Shot).
He was just watching, superficially looking at the total box office data of various places.But in fact, for the best seller in Europe and the United States (Li Wang), the protection fee of the bamboo club is not less, otherwise, if they leave Zhao Donghuai's support, who can settle the theater in their bamboo club? ?Who can ask the theater to transfer and settle the money for you in time? ?
Without Zhao Donghuai, they couldn't even play Xuanfa.
Under the words, Old Wu smiled and waved his hands, "Young Master Kai, don't worry, the current situation is like this, we plan to make a public announcement of 1500 million US dollars in Europe and the United States, which is also 1.17 million Hong Kong dollars, and the announcement in Asia will be more than 3000 Calculated in ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, are you continuing to invest? Use half of it for publicity."
"Or reduce the share proportionally??"
Akai took a long breath, "And each of them will take 7500 million Hong Kong dollars to announce? Are you crazy?"
Lao Wu waved his hand grandly, "The total investment before the project is calculated as 3 million yuan, plus 1.5 million publicity and distribution, it is 4.5 million yuan. Only when it is done well can it pay back and make money."
"Are you still following? If you don't follow the 50% investment, it will fall to 33%."
With a pop, Akai's blood surged up, he really wanted to vomit blood!
Or Lao Wu calmly said, "It's normal, you go to see the records of our company's (Xiao Lin boy) two-part series? Didn't make much money."
"However, if you don't spend money to announce this kind of thing, how can you let the audience enter the theater?? I also hired beautiful white girls for the two parts of Xiaolin Boy back then."
"At that time, Winona Ryder, Nicole Kidman and Jessica Alba were paid much more than Machen Amick in our villain."
Akai took a few deep breaths, "You tell me to calm down."
(End of this chapter)
On December 1991, 12, the new Western Lunar New Year file arrived, and theaters around the world were bombarded by (Invincible Lucky Star) starring Jim Carrey and Courteney Cox.
Although this movie was only proposed by Shao Yifu on November 11th. At that time, Jim Carrey was in the crew of (Ghost in Disguise) and the production had not yet been completely finished, but (Invincible Lucky Star) had no special effects, and the story was simple...
The whole process is just to see the performance and personal performance of comedians.
Finished in less than 40 days and put it into post-production, publicity?Mainly various TV stations, the program pushes Jim Carrey.
Jim Carrey in this plane also became popular with the help of a movie (Xinbuqing), and Xinbuqing represents Xu Jinheng's turnaround with an investment of 25 million Hong Kong dollars on the surface and a total global box office of [-] billion Hong Kong dollars.
No one ever said that Ah Heng was a rich man, and Jia Ling became an international actress.
Jim Carrey's popularity in Europe and the United States is also a crazy turnaround, and Courteney Cox is also one of the heroines of the two-season hit (Friends).
Therefore, the publicity has been fully paid, and it is impossible to lose money. It is this Jim Carrey, with his comedy performance, who made a not-so-exciting (Aircraft Detective) win more than 1 million worldwide before (Ghost in Disguise) was released. US dollar box office.
After his hilarious power exploded ? ?
From the 24th to the 29th, in a six-day first weekend, the box office hit 3900 million US dollars in North America, and 3100 million US dollars in Europa, not to mention the scope of East Asia and Southeast Asia. This trend is all about making Shao Yifu win. .
Immediately, the 85-year-old Shao Daheng once again attracted the attention of the Hong Kong Island film industry, and then... everyone read it a few times, and felt that the script was just like that, not very exciting, no exciting acting, and no great special effects.
This is...
It's completely like a star boy who sweeps the world with his personal charm!
Courteney was ecstatic. Talking about her qualifications, she was an Asian drama student in 1986. Which of Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, and Winona Ryder in the same class in the same year is not a female superstar? ?
Although she is one of the heroines in the two seasons of (Friends), she has become popular in the TV circle, but there are really not many masterpieces in movies.
In (Invincible Lucky Star), some people pretend to be crazy and laugh at the aunt's route, but it is indeed a super impressive resume for her. With this resume, the salary will skyrocket!
When the time entered 1992, in January, the number of theaters in the mainland and Hong Kong Haowan was already overflowing.
For example, in Hong Kong Island, even if a movie starts with 20% of its schedule, the daily limit box office is close to 260 million Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, blockbuster movies such as (The Dragon and the Phoenix), (Taiping Wheel), (A Lang’s Story) and (God’s Fortune) all start from 30 %The amount of filming started, and it went online one week at a time.
At its peak, a six-hall theater played five different blockbuster movies at the same time.
This belongs to the Lunar New Year file before the Spring Festival, and the official war is raging.
………………
Huayuan Phase I.
When Winona Ryder entered the community in a nanny car, she quickly got out of the car, breathed fresh air and ran back to Building 3.
It took a few months to film in Hollywood (the nun is also crazy), which really made her uncomfortable. For example, some people who wanted to pursue her, even if the pan-Asian bodyguards were absolutely reliable, caused her a certain amount of annoyance.
There are still some big bosses who want to rule her unspokenly?Even more outrageous, it was still done by Panya bodyguards.
Nothing happened, but compared with the relaxed and safe environment during filming and living in Hong Kong Island, she is no longer used to life in Hollywood.
On the other hand, all kinds of gossip magazines and countless newspapers reported her scandals casually, and often they just started with a picture, and the content was all guided by the editor's public opinion? ?
It made her even more uncomfortable to the point of physical and mental explosion.
Although she was considered popular when she was filming (Spider-Man 1) before, compared with (Spider-Man 1) which earned more than 8 million US dollars in box office worldwide, it is a completely different era.
When she got to the door, she walked all the way without any harassment or obstruction. Winona still complained happily, "The first phase of Huayuan is still a stable and comfortable place to live..."
At this moment, a figure came out from Building 2, it was Courteney Cox, her eyes lit up when she saw Winona, "Winona? Ha, long time no see, by the way, (Spiderman [-]) Is it about to start up? I really envy you, and it’s time to use the second part to crazily gain influence.”
Winona was stunned, extremely speechless, "Why do I feel that this is not good news?"
Wouldn't it be necessary to go to North America, Hollywood or New York to shoot Spider-Man 2? ?
Courteney said unexpectedly, "What's wrong? What happened to you over there?"
Winona smiled wryly and complained, "Don't talk about anything else, it's not a big deal, but those unscrupulous media paparazzi are too damned, I just had a dinner with many actors of the crew, and then I was hacked into someone We're in love."
"I made it clear that I don't have a relationship, and the group of people who rushed to the street said that I discriminated against black actors... It also caused many people to surround me to protest."
"I clarified publicly again. Later, when I got closer to some actresses in the crew, they reported that I like the same sex... It was like a nightmare."
"When I go out on Hong Kong Island, even if I am recognized in a public place, at most three bodyguards can maintain order. When the police come to help, there are less than 8 people around me, and I dare not go out shopping."
Courteney, "..."
She can't fix it anymore, is this the price of fame?It seems that there are not so many messy things in Hong Kong Island, right? ?
The more serious gossip is nothing more than the former Wu Zhenyu cooking shit behind the scenes, and Li Lianjie (Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng) after the release, was bad-mouthed by the media that Ajie has hit the street, has no box office appeal, and is about to be eliminated by fans...
What happened to Winona over there!
Confused for a while, she also smiled wryly, "December 1990, 12, (Spider-Man 24) will be released worldwide, and it will be January 1, 1992. The preparations for the second part and various model productions must be arranged. .”
"It's the third part of Most Wanted, and it can start filming. I heard (Jurassic Park 3) will also start filming after the Spring Festival."
"In the first year of 1992, three movies with super special effects went to war at the same time. Even if they were released at the end of 92 or early 93, it would be a super audio-visual lineup."
Winona felt dizzy for a while, "I'm numb, wait, I'll go and beg Ah Xin, let her help me beg the boss, let me spend the Spring Festival on Hong Kong Island and then go back to New York."
"Let's talk about it after a month's rest. At worst, I'll shoot other people's scenes first."
When she greeted and ran into the building, Courteney Cox was also numb. You, a beautiful white girl from my sister's family, are you having a ghostly Chinese New Year? ?
………………
February 2st, the first day of the new year.
It has been released worldwide for more than a month, and Europa and North America (Invincible Lucky Star), which scored 1.9 million US dollars at the box office, have been drawn one after another. Combined with the data of East and Southeast Asia, this comedy movie starring Jim Carrey has a global performance of 2.7 million US dollars.
Jim Carrey's film salary has risen from the previous Hollywood film and television group, which spent 500 million dollars to hire him to film, to 700 million dollars.
then……
(Grandmaid in disguise) was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
In the six days from the 4100th to the 3300th, the box office of North America was [-] million US dollars again, and Europa was [-] million US dollars, a stronger performance than (Invincible Lucky Star).
Don't forget that the lucky star is Christmas and New Year's Day, which are the annual holidays of mainstream Western countries. February 2th to 4th is the Chinese New Year holiday, but basically everyone in Europe and the United States is at work.
At the end of the week's performance, Jim Carrey's film salary once again increased from 700 million US dollars to 1000 million US dollars!The giants in Hollywood really stomped their feet and regretted it. If they could get a few film contracts before these two films?
It will really make money.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Donghuai said to Xiaoxian, "Arrange, VCD player and disc system, let's go online in Wanjia Supermarket."
Wang Zuxian hesitated for a moment, "Are you sure? Hong Kong Island costs 3000 Hong Kong dollars for a machine, which is twice or more cheaper than video recorders and laser disc players, and 20 Hong Kong dollars for a disc?? More than 15 times cheaper than laser discs..."
"If you go up, the impact will come, and it will be difficult to take it back?"
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Technology is developing and the times are advancing. You can't block everyone's way. It's like the pharmaceutical giants control all kinds of serious diseases that take medicine for life. It doesn't mean that there is really no cure."
"If you don't, some people will, so don't be a dragon."
There are many stories about young dragon slayers becoming evil dragons, but here, Zhao Donghuai is not so wretched. Another reason is that the VCD player and disc production technology are also providing for him and Monica Bellucci, Jennifer Kang Nali breaks new river of cash!
Xiaoxian nodded, then pulled Li Jiaxin excitedly and said, "Come on, let's arrange people to go down, and make a detailed statistics of which movies have been hit at the box office after the Lunar New Year file."
"This is about to usher in a new era in the film and television industry!"
Li Jiaxin nodded, "I'm also quite curious, but as long as the source of the film is well controlled, the probability of the box office impact of blockbuster films is not very high, and those bad films and movies with aesthetic fatigue will be seriously affected."
Technology is developing and the times are advancing. Hong Kong Haowan discs are 20 Hong Kong dollars a piece, Daohan and Xingmatai are 30 Hong Kong dollars a piece, and the mainland is tentatively set at 15 yuan.
The price of this level? ?
It depends on the war with pirates. At this price, pirates are quite competitive.
How to say this kind of price, if you buy it alone, you will feel that it is expensive and inappropriate, but the number of video halls that were not too many in the past will be ten times, fifteen times, twenty times in full bloom.
There are video halls everywhere, and with a few wallets, you can watch seven or eight movies overnight... This is the real impact. The blockbuster movie is super blockbuster, and the DVD is released late, so I can't wait to watch it after it is released.
But movies like (Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng) (New Jade Blood Sword) (Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Child Elder) are miserable...
When you released it yourself, because there were too many films of the same type in the previous work, you were too lazy to spend money to watch it. You can just watch it when the video is released later, and then the video hall will be expanded ten or twenty times? ?
What is killed is the living space of those similar films, less brilliant ones, and really bad films.
………………
February 2, the tenth day of the first lunar month.
When Xiao Ma arrives at a certain film crew by car, he smiles and greets everyone when he enters. The main creative team of (A Manga Breaking into the World) has been working together for nearly two months, and they will go back to their hometown for a few days during the Spring Festival.
The reunion after the holiday is not far away from the finale.
After Xiao Ma said hello to the beautiful girl Bai Anni, she 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? Watching a videotape?"
"Hey...it's not a video recorder."
Lin Junxian smiled and said, "It's the Pacific VCD player and VCD discs. Good guy, a finished video tape costs more than 100 Hong Kong dollars. Now the VCD disc is only 20 yuan, which is more than five times cheaper."
"Xiao Ma, we are all insiders, and you are still a top student. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing for us filmmakers and the income from the video tape after the movie is released?"
"Even the VCD player is half the price, from five or six thousand to 3000 yuan a piece."
"It was just launched on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and it's only the tenth day today. I heard that more than 5000 machines were sold on Hong Kong Island in two days, and all kinds of DVDs are also selling well."
Cheng Kui'an came over, winked and said, "Do you know which disc sells the most? I heard that Director Mai, it's Mai Dangjiejie, who made it (what kind of futon), and the movie only earned more than 1800 million when it was released on the Golden Princess box office in Hong Kong dollars.”
"But in the two days between the eighth and ninth day of the lunar new year, the Pacific VCD chain store sold 10 discs! The sales volume was 200 million Hong Kong dollars! Damn, how many people on Hong Kong Island watch DVDs?"
Lin Junxian also had a look of emotion, feeling like he didn't know what to say.
When Liang Jiaren came... Just as he was about to ask everyone what they were up to, Xiao Ma suddenly slapped his forehead, "Director, I want to take a few more days off today, mainly because there was an unexpected accident at home, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Liang Jiaren, "..."
Lao Liang was silent for a few seconds, "How many days?"
Xiao Ma said quickly, "I will definitely be there after the Lantern Festival."
Liang Jiaren was stunned, "No problem, you can just make a phone call if you have something to do at home, why bother to come by yourself? We are also old acquaintances."
In the previous one (Descendants of the Dragon) and this one (a manga into the world), Liang Jiaren also had a lot of scenes with Xiao Ma.
Xiao Ma quickly thanked and apologized to other partners one after another, before running away in a hurry.
I was on vacation at home before, so I really didn't pay attention to this point. He is sure that those who buy so many DVD players and discs are definitely the ones who open video halls. Those who are not short of money?It is only a few wealthy families or rich second and third generations who buy and play for themselves.
He wants to go back immediately to see how the video hall market in Pengcheng is doing... If it's okay, the hundreds of thousands he originally planned to buy a house will be invested in the video hall market first.
This wave of blood earns ah!
It's not just Pengcheng, it's not that he can't try to go to other parts of Guangdong Province other than Pengcheng, it's just that his family has more connections in Pengcheng at most, so it's easy to do things.
If it is only opened in Pengcheng, it will become a hands-off shopkeeper, and the daily business will not be so busy.
………………
February 2, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival.
The festive atmosphere on Hong Kong Island is still strong. Li Jiaxin stood at the Wanjia Cinemas in Tsim Sha Tsui, walked around wearing a hat, sunglasses and masks, and walked up to the manager's office on the fifth floor.
At this moment in this office, the branch manager of Wanjia Supermarket is already waiting in the form of a wage earner. Wang Zuxian asked curiously, "How is it? That Detective Ma Rulong?"
Ah Xin shrugged, "It's pretty miserable, 20% of the filming capacity, I went to see a few halls just now, and the occupancy rate was less than [-]%, and it's already afternoon."
When Xiaoxian looked at the theater manager, the other party smiled wryly, "Now the main force at the box office is (Ghost in Disguise). It has only been in theaters for two weeks. Detective Ma Rulong has been in theaters for seven days, and the box office on Hong Kong Island is only 210 million Hong Kong dollars."
The lineup of Detective Ma Rulong is not bad, Zheng Danrui, Xiao Yingying, Liang Jiahui, Li Zhi four main protagonists, Liu Songren, Li Zixiong and so on.
210 million Hong Kong dollars in seven days? ?The director is Chen Jiashang, a 100-year film industry veteran!
If it weren't for Liang Jiahui's schedule, the filming of the release last year should have been finished, but Ah Hui took it first (91 Black Rose vs. Black Rose), and Ma Rulong's filmed after the filming.
Li Jiaxin said speechlessly, "Cut it into 10% and line up the film, let's release a new film."
The theater manager asked curiously, "Which one will you go to?"
Ah Xin thought for a while, "Let's go to the movie starring Ah Fa and Liu Jialing (I love twisted wood)."
Before (Detective Ma Rulong) was so dismal at the box office after it was released, it also has a lot to do with the reviews of the film critics. The first group of people who watched the movie have publicly called it a bad movie...
The role played by the male lead obviously wants to be like the comedic style of Master Xing, but if he plays it badly, it will easily make people look obscene and obscene. It is a complete waste of Xiao Yingying and Li Zhi's beautiful girls appearing together, and it is also a waste of Liang Jiahui's precious performance. .
The male lead is too failed and ruins the movie.
This is not what one film critic said, but many people said that in many different newspapers, bad film reviews plus VCD players and VCD discs suddenly hit.
In just a few days, the number of video halls on Hong Kong Island has doubled, and it is still developing towards more, and many movie fans have discovered that you go to the video hall to watch movies...the newly opened stores are much cheaper than the old ones .
………………
3 month 6 number.
ATV office.
Zhao Donghuai accepted the investigation report sent by Li Jiaxin and Xiaoxian, and smiled immediately, "It's not bad, the performance is good, Ah Fa's (I love twisted wood), 17 days from the Lantern Festival, 2300 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office?"
"Because the media film critics gave a good evaluation of this local love movie in the New Territories, it seems that the box office has not been affected much."
"For a bad film like (Detective Ma Rulong) and (Four Detectives), the former only earned 320 million Hong Kong dollars until the next release? Did the (Four Detectives) that were released for a week also get more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars?"
These are still movies that Zhao Donghuai has an impression of.
Let’s just say (Detective Ma Rulong) the original trajectory was more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office on Hong Kong Island, but now it’s over 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
The original trajectory of the four major detectives has a box office of more than 1300 million Hong Kong dollars, and it has opened more than 400 million in a week?It is estimated that you can get more than 1000 million in the next gear, and the loss is not too big.
Ah Fa's (I love twisted wood), 17 million in 2300 days, not too far from the original record of 3000 million.
As expected, the impact of this round of VCDs and discs certainly has an impact, but the impact on blockbusters and movies with good critics is limited, and the box office is reduced by [-]-[-]% or [-]-[-]% of the box office.
But the discs are selling fast, which means that the profits from the video tapes have been settled in advance.
In the past, there were more than 100 videotapes and more than 300 laser discs. How could too many people afford them at will?Movies such as (that futon) continue until now, Hong Kong Haowan, Xingmatai and South Korea, island countries, because of the existence of retail terminals...
More than 20 days of retail statistics, sold more than 30 copies, equivalent to more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars!
That's less than a month! !If it can sell nearly ten million Hong Kong dollars a month?His total box office on Hong Kong Island is only 1800 million. As time goes on, this is a settlement cycle that is several times faster than the original video tapes and laser discs.
After all, Hong Kong Haowan is 20 Hong Kong dollars per disc, and Xingmatai and Daohan are 30 Hong Kong dollars per disc, so the total data will be more comprehensive.
Ah Xin asked curiously, "This is the beginning, right?? The big impact depends on the commercial war of pirated discs in the future. If it can't be fought, it will be dead for those genre films that are not so eye-catching or bad ones." faster."
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Hong Kong Haowan, Xingmatai, and South Korea follow this pattern, and the mainland is different..."
So far in the mainland, (Detective Ma Rulong) is also on the top of the list of bad movies. It has been released for more than a week, with a box office of more than 5000 million yuan... The four major detectives went up and won more than 4000 million yuan in a week.
It belongs to the project that you can screen for a long time, even though it is a bad movie, you can still make a lot of money.
Obviously, the 15 yuan DVD, compared with the [-] yuan movie ticket, the movie ticket is still full of attractiveness.
In the next few months or even more than half a year to a year, enough results can be seen!
Bad movies should be hit, and they should be over early, but Zhao Donghuai still makes the most money.
The retail price of 5 yuan in the mainland is profitable, and the retail price is 15 yuan. Video halls are blooming everywhere, and the first few waves are all genuine video tapes.
VCD discs of many old films are sold as if they are cooking oil on fire. After all, if you open a video studio, it is impossible to only put a few discs, right? ?
On April 4st, the film (Ghost in Disguise) was released one after another around the world. In the end, the global hit was 1 million U.S. dollars, which was higher than the original 3.67 version.
At this stage, the island country does not need to sell its ports. The Wanjia cinema line has lasted for one or two months, and the island country has collected more than 9500 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, which is much higher than South Korea's 7200 million Hong Kong dollars.
As the ticket warehouses exploded one after another, Jim Carrey took off on a rocket. Even after more than a month of screening, the DVD of (Geek in Disguise) appeared on the market, and the original version sold well... Many people who didn't go to the cinema to watch the movie watched the DVD Went to the cinema again.
Still the same sentence, the 480p viewing experience on a small screen is not as good as the 4K high-definition viewing quality of a large theater, and the difference is really quite big.
........................
4 month 1 number.
Shek Kip Mei was lucky enough to come to the private room, and Li Xiuxian laughed and toasted, "Little Ma, I respect you, after eating, let's go to Tsim Sha Tsui East nightclub, we won't go home until we're drunk!"
"I cover all expenses!"
(A Comic Going to the End of the World) That kind of small-scale, easy-to-make movie was completed in early March and is scheduled to be released on March 3. Today, the five-day process has been completed.
In five days, Hong Kong Island has more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and the province has saved more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars. It seems that it is difficult to break through 900 million Hong Kong dollars in this port. In the end, Hong Kong Island can have [-] million. It is very good, and the province is not easy to break Ten million.
But this movie became a hit in the mainland, and the data of more than 7000 million yuan in five days can still make Li Xiuxian like... no, it is more than (Descendants of the Dragon).
The RMB in the Mainland is also money!
Moreover, Daohan and Xingmatai, the five countries together have a box office of more than 1300 million Hong Kong dollars, and the production fee is calculated. They have already made a lot of money in the first five days!
Li Xiuxian has already planned to give Xiao Ma another 20 red envelopes.
Xiao Ma smiled and toasted, sighing, "Thank you, Director Li, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Xiao Ma's later generations are also known as the master of persuading alcohol with a large amount of alcohol. He has drunk all over the Internet bigwig circle. Movies have made money very quickly. In the past two months, the chain of video halls he opened in Pengcheng has also made a lot of money.
There is one thing to say, according to the original trajectory of Hong Kong movies...the impact of VCD players and DVDs, there is still no piracy, and an era that dares to kill one, (Detective Ma Rulong) (Pony version of a comic into the world) and the like Movies, such Hong Kong Island box office performance.
The box office is not as high as the salary of actors and stars.
That dead thing is getting more and more thorough.
This plane star Ma Tai, Dao Han and Wan Province have all become ticket warehouses, the theater chain is integrated, and there are big ticket warehouses in the mainland, which has made filmmakers feel the strong changes in the past few months, but compared to the overall situation, it is still Not affected much.
If piracy cannot be controlled, it will be much worse.
For example, if Fei Jing, Hua Zai and others did not make bad films, a large number of practitioners could not afford to eat.
........................
In an office building in Yau Ma Tei, when the Li family's Akai rushed into a certain company and knocked on a certain door, after a while, Old Wu of the Bamboo Club opened the door.
A Kai got a little angry, "Is Ciling finished?"
Old Wu nodded, "Don't worry, Young Master Kai. I just watched the movie twice, and the special effects are still impressive. This movie should sell well."
A Kai wanted to cry, "Why didn't you show it in the Lunar New Year file? If it was released a year ago, there would be no VCD players and VCD discs. The same movie would earn at least a few million more, or even 2000 million in one region."
"If it's a bad movie, it will be even more terrifying."
The impact of the new technology of the times has just emerged, and many filmmakers who have already watched it are dumbfounded. They made a film (Detective Ma Rulong) on Chen Jiashang, and the box office in Hong Kong is more than 300 million. It is really...
If he wasn't the director of 100 Years Films, Xiao Yingying's film salary would be more than 300 million, okay?How about Leung Ka Fai and Lee Chi's remuneration?If you invite Liu Songren and Li Zixiong, both of them will spend millions.
Director Chen of the 100-year film industry perfectly demonstrated how he would have managed a project with a loss of tens of millions if he were an external company.
Zheng Danrui, the hero of the film, was immediately blacklisted by many directors.
However, the stock price of 100 Years Pictures was not affected by this bad movie. Everyone knows that the core creative team of 100 Years Pictures is Zhou Xingxing, Wang Jing, and Liu Dehua, and Chen Jiashang is not a very important role.
This kind of thing makes A Kai feel like he is sitting on pins and needles, and he is also afraid of stabbing the box office. After all, in this project, the Li family holds 50% of the shares.
Old Wu of Zhushe was speechless, "I also want to release it in the Lunar New Year file, but for special effects production, do you know how to do special effects?"
Akai, "..."
Akai lit a cigarette, and then said with red eyes, "(Taiping Wheel) is in January, and they have made a lot of money. Wang Yu, Ke Junxiong, and Xiang Laoshi have made a lot of money."
The film (Taiping Wheel) released between Jim Carrey’s two big movies is indeed a big profit. From the release to the next painting, the box office of Hong Kong Island is more than 2600 million Hong Kong dollars, and the province is 1900 million Hong Kong dollars. Star Matai is 4100 million Hong Kong dollars. and South Korea 3500 million.
These equal 1.62 million Hong Kong dollars.
The key is that the mainland is strong, and the total accumulation of the mainland is 4.9 million yuan.
With an investment of [-] to [-] million yuan, such an outcome? ?Xiang Laoshi and the others were grinning from ear to ear. After all, repairing the Taiping wheel model, custom-made Taiping wheel, Jianyuan wheel...
In fact, it means that the Li family paid 3800 million to help them repair it.
3800 million can do a lot of things!
Without Johnny Depp and Jennifer Aniston, the salary cost has been saved several times.
Zhou Runfa received 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, Liu Xiaoli 500 million, Bingbing 30, and Yuanyuan 5. The money that was cheated by Ju Shao has already included the largest film salary expenses, and the rest can be used to repair the huge pool studio.
After it was released, the total population of Hong Kong Island is more than double that of Hong Kong Island, and the box office is still so much less, which is enough to prove that he is not very popular there, and there are still a lot of scolding, but the big brother in Zhushe is afraid of you Scold them?
This disaster movie did not make much money in both Xingmatai and Daohan.
Strictly speaking, Hong Kong Haowan plus stars Matai Island and South Korea, the total accumulation is only 1.62 million? ?A big action movie (big event) by Liu Dehua can break [-] million or even [-] million Hong Kong dollars in South Korea and Thailand.
In terms of Europe and the United States, (Taiping Wheel) has also accumulated more than 2000 million US dollars in data, but it has spent 500 million US dollars on the announcement... Basically, it is a small profit after paying back the capital.
It took more than a year of busy work before the film was released, and the income was not particularly high, but it must not be said that it was too little. For the group of people who worked on that project, after experiencing the impact of the Wu Yusen incident, it is a blessing to be able to get back their money up.
After working for more than a year, Xiang Laoshi and others contributed 4000% of the profits to Zhao Donghuai, and the profit shared by them was at least 4000 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars or RMB profits.
This still refers to the payment of 9000% of the protection fee. If the protection fee is not paid, each family can theoretically earn [-] to [-] million each!
A Kai sighed again at this moment, "If (Taiping Wheel) is released at this time, there will be no profit of nearly [-] million yuan for each."
A Kai didn't know that Xiang Laoshi and the others would pay [-]% of the protection fee to Zhao Donghuai for blockbuster movies starting from (Crazy Givenchy/Big Shot).
He was just watching, superficially looking at the total box office data of various places.But in fact, for the best seller in Europe and the United States (Li Wang), the protection fee of the bamboo club is not less, otherwise, if they leave Zhao Donghuai's support, who can settle the theater in their bamboo club? ?Who can ask the theater to transfer and settle the money for you in time? ?
Without Zhao Donghuai, they couldn't even play Xuanfa.
Under the words, Old Wu smiled and waved his hands, "Young Master Kai, don't worry, the current situation is like this, we plan to make a public announcement of 1500 million US dollars in Europe and the United States, which is also 1.17 million Hong Kong dollars, and the announcement in Asia will be more than 3000 Calculated in ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, are you continuing to invest? Use half of it for publicity."
"Or reduce the share proportionally??"
Akai took a long breath, "And each of them will take 7500 million Hong Kong dollars to announce? Are you crazy?"
Lao Wu waved his hand grandly, "The total investment before the project is calculated as 3 million yuan, plus 1.5 million publicity and distribution, it is 4.5 million yuan. Only when it is done well can it pay back and make money."
"Are you still following? If you don't follow the 50% investment, it will fall to 33%."
With a pop, Akai's blood surged up, he really wanted to vomit blood!
Or Lao Wu calmly said, "It's normal, you go to see the records of our company's (Xiao Lin boy) two-part series? Didn't make much money."
"However, if you don't spend money to announce this kind of thing, how can you let the audience enter the theater?? I also hired beautiful white girls for the two parts of Xiaolin Boy back then."
"At that time, Winona Ryder, Nicole Kidman and Jessica Alba were paid much more than Machen Amick in our villain."
Akai took a few deep breaths, "You tell me to calm down."
