England 1986

Chapter 92 Box Office Exceeding Estimates (Ninth Update)

"Master, shall we go home?"

Shitou glanced at the young master who had been resting on the seat with his eyes closed since he got in the car, and asked in a low voice.

"Go back, drive slowly on the road, I will rest for a while."

Allen was a little tired, mainly because he felt noisy.

He has a little influence now, but it seems to be a little bit different from the influence he imagined.

I also thought of the unreleased version B videotape in my hand.

This thing will not be released in theaters. The plan at the time was to wait for the A version of the movie to be released, and the B version would be released in the United States.

Even the background Allen has been arranged.

Old Carl registered a small film and television company in the United States.

The name is look.

It means to see.

At that time, the B version of the video tape, the box cover will use a poster that is very similar to the poster of the A version movie.

Even the name of the movie is the same, only a small look is added in front of the movie.

They followed the route of copycat imitation, and then returned to Great Britain from the United States.

Even if it becomes popular at that time, you can still scold the shameless Americans for actually remaking his movie.

He wanted to earn money and set up archways, and he wanted to find a good scapegoat.

In the future, this company can even be used to attack competitors.

For example, if a company shoots a Superman or something.

Then he can completely direct the people of that small crew to film an adult version of Superman with a similar plot, not only to take advantage of their popularity, but also to make money, and finally discredit their IP.

It's a disgusting way to make money.

Regardless of any video, a small look is added in front of it.

This thing is like a word game.

If the other party's movie is called "Superman", then his real name is "Looking at Superman". This name will not constitute infringement, but as long as the look is written small enough, most people will mistakenly think that this is Superman!

The reason why the B version has not been released and sold until now is Alan's intention.

It can't be that version A has only been released for half a month, and version B over there has already been filmed and produced, right?

The connection is so fast, it is tricky at first glance, what he wants is to make people feel that this thing is a copycat version made by Americans following suit.

It has nothing to do with him, Allen!

After being quarreled by Charles just now, Allen was also a little irritable. He wants to watch it. When his B-version video tape is on the market, those male viewers who gave him bad reviews and sent letters to him, should they watch it or not? look?
After reading it, are they also going to Gambia to find the Black Pearl?

Anyway, make noise when you should, whatever you like.

On the contrary, Charles just shocked him with his words, which reminded Allen that his next movie is about to be put on the agenda, so he should make plans earlier and start the preparatory procedures earlier.

If it is not allowed to shoot domestic ones, then it will not be filmed. I will call the old guy Parritus tomorrow and ask him to give an idea on where the staff should go next.

"Master! You're back! I've accumulated a lot of news here, and I want to report it to you."

After lunch the next day, Paritus rushed to the manor. After such a period of adaptation, Paritus ran in both directions.

He still goes to the film school to take a few classes occasionally, but much less frequently than before.

The rest of the time is spent running between home and the manor. Patrice adapted very quickly to the new life at the Earl's manor.

"Hmm, is it news about the box office?"

It's been half a month, because of Patrice's description before, Allen's expectations for the box office of the movie are not as big as before, anyway, he can make a little money anyway.

"Master, I take back what I said before. Your movie is indeed a typical example of the precise positioning of the market! Targeting a specific audience group, with precise coverage, the box office in the past half month has exceeded my imagination. Look, this is The data of the first week, and the data of the previous two days."

Glancing at the box office data, counting the digits at the back, and then looking at the currency unit, Alan was a little surprised and said, "This data? Isn't it right?"

The box office of "Falker" recorded in the data actually reached 170 million pounds in the first week.

Based on this data, let's look at the box office trend in the next few days. Although there has been a decline, the decline has not been large.

If there is no accident, that is to say, if it is calculated based on the four weeks of its release, this film has a high probability of earning a box office of 500 million pounds!

Although the film market in the Great Britain is not that big, this box office result can already firmly secure the top ten annual box office rankings!
If calculated based on the final box office of 500 million pounds, after deducting the share of the cinema and adding the messy tax, the share he can get is about 32% to 40%.

In other words, the profit is in the range of £150 million to £200 million.

More or less, the difference is hundreds of thousands of pounds at most.

Excluding Allen's film production costs after extreme cost reduction through tipping as a settlement method, the film's box office revenue alone can bring him nearly one million pounds.

Plus the income from post-release videotapes.

If Alan worked hard and worked hard to shoot for ten years, he could earn millions, nearly ten million pounds.

If there are no other peripheral projects, it is quite interesting to think about just making a movie.

"Master. I've been investigating the reason for this movie's high box office recently."

Patrice is very dedicated, and the film has grossed more than he expected, but instead of feeling resentful or humiliated after being slapped in the face, he turned around and started researching why.

"Oh? Tell me."

"Hey, I did a small-scale survey and found that most people who have watched this movie gave the most evaluations, which are novelty and a little novelty. These are the two most important points, like this unconventional film. The subject matter of the movie is the premise to attract the audience.”

Oh.
Allen immediately thought of the traditional character of the British, Mensao, or Nesao.

They seem to be very serious on the surface, but they are very curious about this kind of more exotic subject matter.

He said "don't"... he took a breath and followed it with "stop".

But, where is this? He still kept this film when he shot it, and many shots were shot very conservatively.

As long as he dares to add some more restricted shots, will the box office be able to go to a higher level?

How about a more exciting subject?
Now that Allen has some experience, he is much more courageous. If he is not allowed to shoot domestic ones, he should choose a more exciting foreign subject to shoot.

He likes this kind of novelty-hunting movies with a relatively small production cost.

The actual investment in this thing is small, so it is convenient for him to disguise the investment amount to launder money.

Although Allen has always dreamed that he can also make some big-budget films, such as special effects films, science fiction films and the like.

But right now he is still in the fund accumulation stage, making money is the main thing, not so hypocritical, he doesn't dislike anything, besides, to shoot some modern dramas, exciting plots, don't they need actresses.

Allen now regrets not bringing Li Zhi back, and he will regret it when he is used up!
As angry as he is now.It's the time when I urgently need to relax and vent, and it's a bit uncomfortable without a woman around me.

What does this mean?
This means that he still has to work hard!
