If you are asked to make a graduation film, you will win the Golden Bear Award?

Changnian Building, Mars Film and Television

Lu Chen was in the office, looking through the documents in his hand.

The document is about the profit statement of "The Wandering Earth".

"The Wandering Earth" has now been released worldwide, with a global box office total of US$20.89 billion.

After "The Wandering Earth" exceeded 20 billion US dollars, it became popular again. However, at that time, it was only still showing in North America and Europe, and it had already been released in other regions.

But it also continued.

In the end, it was only $21 million away from $100 billion.

The production cost of "The Wandering Earth" was US$1.7 million, and the publicity cost was US$1.5 million, for a total cost of US$3.1 million.

Remove costs.

Box office profit was US$17.69 billion.

Among them, movie theaters, including taxes from various regions, took away US$8.69 million.

"The Wandering Earth" still has a profit of just over US$9 million, which will be divided among investors.

"The Wandering Earth" has only two investors, of which Mars Film and Television accounted for 39% of the total, and Huaguo Film Group accounted for one of the [-]%.

In the end, Mars Film and Television earned nearly US$9 million in box office share, and after tax, there was still about US$8 million.

See the report on the box office ledger.

Lu Chen is still envious of the box office share of the North American film market.

In the American film market, when a movie is released, the box office share is as high as 80.00% in the first week, and then gradually decreases. However, the movie does not have the highest box office in the first week, which is equivalent to half of the movie box office in the first week.

The American film market has a very high studio share ratio.

Mainly due to the strength of the major Hollywood film companies, they are completely weak on the American theater side, especially Disney Pictures, which is even stronger when it comes to theaters, and the share ratio was as high as 80.00% in the first week.

This is also one of the reasons why American movies are strong. With higher incomes, film studios have more money to invest in film production.

But in mainland China, the box office share of the film studio is fixed, mostly 30.00% to 30.00%, and it is almost impossible to exceed 40.00%.

Most of it is taken away by the theater, which is why Lu Chen entered the theater industry early and established Jupiter Cinemas. He doesn't want the majority of the movie box office to be taken away by others.

Yang Mi, who was in Lu Chen's arms at this time, moved and also paid attention to the documents related to "The Wandering Earth". She was quite envious of Liu Yifei for starring in "The Wandering Earth".

And because "The Wandering Earth" exceeded 20 billion U.S. dollars and became the number one movie heroine in the global film industry at the box office, Liu Yifei has a higher reputation in the world. Now her popularity is not as good as Liu Yifei's in China, let alone overseas.

But this time, Director Lu will be filming the sequel to "Transformers". Yang Mi thinks that when "Transformers 2" is released, her fame will definitely reach a higher level.

"Don't move." Lu Chen asked Yang Mi to lie down and not to move around, which would affect his ability to read the documents. He was now in a sage state. He had already done this to Yang Mi in the office just now.

Yang Mi was no longer as promiscuous as before, lying honestly in her arms.

As for the income of "The Wandering Earth".

The money has entered the company account of Mars Film and Television.

If it were other film companies, they would definitely be dragged away.

But "The Wandering Earth" is different. The only domestic distributor is Mars Film and Television. How can we drag ourselves down? There are three major overseas distributors: Mars Film and Television (overseas), Universal Pictures, and Warner Brothers.

No more procrastination.

Now we are filming the sequel to "Transformers", and Universal Pictures is also one of the investors. Lu Chen is willing to shoot, and Universal Pictures is grateful. It must be "The Wandering Earth" that will handle the settlement, and it will be settled immediately.

Warner Bros. is the same. They are still waiting for Director Lu Chen to shoot the sequel to "The Dark Knight", but they don't dare to offend Director Lu. How dare they delay the money.

Now the company has received this money and invested it directly in the construction of Mars Building. The Mars Building will take three years and the investment will reach more than 100 billion, which is 20 billion US dollars when converted into US dollars.

So Lu Chen still has to make money for the company.

Previously it was for the production of "The Wandering Earth", but now it is for the construction of the Mars Building. As the big boss, I can't take a break yet, and I have started the filming of the sequel to the global movie.

Although Lu Chen doesn't like making sequels, it's really profitable.

"Director Lu, when will the sequel of "Transformers" start filming?" Yang Mi asked. Now the actors and staff behind the scenes are ready.

Just waiting for Director Lu to direct and start the movie.

"It will take some time." Lu Chen is currently busy with the production of the sequel to "Kung Fu Panda", and almost all of this time is at Mars Film and Television (Animation) Company.

Now the DreamWorks team has arrived and is coordinating. Once everything is arranged, the production of "Kung Fu Panda 2" can be on track.

"Oh~" Yang Mi really hopes that "Transformers 2" will start shooting as soon as possible, so that the movie can be released as soon as possible, and she will become more famous because of the movie.

"Dong Dong~"

Then there was a knock on the door outside.

"Open the door." Lu Chen patted Yang Mi's butt.

Yang Mi got up and tidied her clothes first to see if they were properly worn and if her makeup was stained. If she saw her makeup was stained, she quickly wiped it off.

I had been exercising a lot just now, which caused me to sweat, which made my light makeup look a little smudged. I quickly tidied it up and went to open the door.

"Director Lu, Zhang Chaoyang from Chuanhu wants to see you?" the female secretary reported. She was knocking on the door just now. She didn't come in directly because she was afraid of running into something bad.

Director Lu and Yang Mi were alone in the same room. Who knew what was going on inside.

"Bring him here." Lu Chen closed the document, got up and went to sit on the sofa area of ​​the office.

"I'll make tea." Yang Mi said, "I'll come and let Director Lu's female secretary rest. This female secretary can be regarded as the girl who has spent the longest time with Director Lu."

Yang Mi didn't have any sense of crisis when it came to female secretaries.

The biggest sense of crisis is Liu Yifei.

Although Liu Yifei has not acted in Director Lu's works for a while, and has not had any works recently, as the heroine of "The Wandering Earth", her status in Director Lu's heart must be particularly high.

Zhang Chaoyang came in after a while, "Director Lu, Miss Yang Mi."

"Sit!" Lu Chen invited.

Zhang Chaoyang sat down opposite and said, "Congratulations to Miss Yang Mi. I heard that Director Lu will be filming "Transformers 2" recently. The global audience will be blessed now. And I am also a fan of "Transformers", but I am waiting for "Transformers"." "The sequel is released."

As the heroine of "Transformers" and a member of the Four Little Girls, Yang Mi will definitely not be replaced.

"Mr. Zhang, let's get down to business." Lu Chen said stop praising Yang Mi and get straight to the point.

There are still a lot of things on hand recently.

The first is the behind-the-scenes production work of "Detective Chinatown".

There is also work on the sequels to "Kung Fu Panda" and "Transformers".

Zhang Chaoyang took out his laptop and put it on the table, "Director Lu, regarding Xinlang Weibo, the software has been produced and is ready to be launched in September this year." This time he came to Director Lu Chen for confirmation.

When Xinlang Weibo is launched, I hope that Mars artists will support it, including director Lu Chen.

As long as everyone joins Xinlang Weibo, Zhang Chaoyang is sure that Xinlang Weibo will become extremely popular in China.

Lu Chen took the computer over and tested the Xinlang Weibo software. He had talked with Zhang Chaoyang before about increasing the shares to 30.00%.

This is a free investment.

In addition to investing money, Mars Film and Television now accounts for 40.00% of the shares of Xinlang Weibo. Of course, most of the investment money is the cost of the Mars artists to register on Weibo.

Mars Film and Television did not spend any money and got 40.00% of the shares. Of course, there are people. Most of the Mars artists will be on Xinlang Weibo and will post updates on the first day of the launch to Xinlang Weibo. Bring huge traffic.

"Director Lu, when we go online, we are planning to launch the famous person authentication function." Zhang Chaoyang explained at the side, "Celebrities and well-known social figures can be authenticated on Xinlang Weibo, so that others cannot impersonate..."

Balabala talked a lot about how good Xinlang Weibo was, and also wanted to get more support from Director Lu Chen.

"The famous person authentication function is good." Lu Chen affirmed.

I remember that in the previous life, Xinlang Weibo was launched, and the authentication function was launched later. This was followed by the launch of Xinlang Weibo, which can be regarded as a small change in the historical direction.

"Director Lu, related..." Zhang Chaoyang planned to talk about Xinlang Weibo and all its functions.

"Mr. Zhang, please explain these matters to the people in the company." Lu Chen interrupted. Although Xinlang Weibo was famous in the previous life, Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to it.

For the company, this is just a small business, and you don’t need to personally supervise it.

"Director Lu, then I won't disturb you." Zhang Chaoyang glanced at Yang Mi beside Lu Chen, understood, put away his laptop and left.

"Director Lu, this Xinlang Weibo is the same as the American Blog. Do we all have to post updates there?" Yang Mi asked.

"The account you set up on Xinlang Weibo will be kept by the company. You don't need to pay too much attention to it." Lu Chen was also afraid of the company's artists making bad remarks.

There are also female artists who are close to him. If he hairs randomly, it will affect his reputation.

"Oh~" Yang Mi didn't pay much attention to it, "Director Lu, you're done with your work. Why don't you come to my house and I'll prepare something delicious for you."

Now Yang Mi is also a big star. Although the company takes most of her income, she still has a lot of money left, including advertising endorsements. She has already bought a big house in Peiping.

There are daily necessities for Director Lu inside, but it’s a pity that Director Lu doesn’t come often.

"We'll talk about it later." Lu Chen still has some work to do.

And when "Xiu Chun Knife" is released in theaters, the filming of "Transformers 2" will almost begin.

……

December 2009, 8

Peking Hotel

The celebration banquet of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was held in the banquet hall of Peking Hotel.

"Spring Knife" finally grossed RMB 5.45 million in box office in the Mainland. It is another work that has exceeded RMB 5 million. Currently, only Director Lu can achieve RMB 5 million in a single movie in the mainland film market.

At the hotel entrance, many people came early in the morning.

Everyone knows that Director Lu will be here today, as well as famous figures in the Chinese film industry, so they have been waiting here for a long time.

Although today is the celebration party for "Xiu Chun Knife", it is also the celebration party for "The Wandering Earth" breaking 20 billion US dollars.

""Xiu Chun Knife" is so beautiful. Director Lu directed "Xiu Chun Dao", which can be regarded as filling the gap in Ming Dynasty type movies. It makes me, a fan of Director Lu, and a fan of Ming Dynasty extremely happy." At the door of the hotel, from Peking When the college students said this, they were full of admiration for Director Lu.

The T-shirt he wore had a poster of "Xiu Chun Knife" printed on it.

"This is Director Lu's directing skills. As long as you try a new genre, you will definitely reach the same ceiling." Another college student next to him touched the T-shirt next to him, "Master Liu is so beautiful."

Liu Shishi is on the poster of the movie "Xiu Chun Dao".

"Don't touch it." The man in the T-shirt opened the other person's hand, "Master Liu is my goddess."

"But our goddess only belongs to Director Lu." Someone in the crowd sighed, but they also knew that there was no way to argue.

Director Lu is so outstanding, rich, talented and handsome.

None of these female celebrities are disliked, not to mention the four little actresses. Director Lu has trained them since childhood and they have deep feelings for them.

"You have heard that this time Director Lu plans to shoot the sequel to "Transformers"." A "Transformers" fan next to him said about the inside information he got, "The special effects of "Transformers 1" made me hooked. , if it were made into a 3D movie, the shock would be even greater."

"The sequel to "Transformers" doesn't have to be a 3D movie, right?" The audience next to him expressed another opinion.

"It's definitely true. Director Lu is the pioneer of 3D movies. The world's first 3D movie was made by Director Lu." When he said this, the fans looked sure, "You think of it, who else in the global film industry can compare?" Director Lu is even more committed to 3D movies, not to mention "Transformers" is very suitable for 3D movies, and everyone also likes 3D movies, Director Lu will definitely satisfy our audience's needs, it must be a 3D movie."

"Director Lu's filming of the sequel to "Transformers" is probably related to "Avatar" directed by Cameron." Another passerby expressed his opinion, ""Avatar" is also a 3D movie. I heard that there are many 3D shots. , will be released at the end of the year, which is why Director Lu feels the pressure."

"I think Director Lu should be put under a little pressure, so that he can continue to make movies and blockbusters, so that we can have a good time." The college student next to him took over, "Now Director Lu's "The Wandering Earth" is the world's first A movie that has exceeded US$20 billion is already too high to win. If no one catches up and Director Lu has no pressure, he may be like the fifth generation of domestic directors, making a movie every three or two years."

While everyone was chatting.

At this time, a convoy came from the front.

Lu Chen took the crew members of "Xiu Chun Knife" and the crew of "The Wandering Earth" in vehicles. The convoy of more than a dozen vehicles stopped in front of the hotel.

"Director Lu is here!" Immediately, people at the door of the hotel stopped talking and gathered around.

Although many celebrities from the Chinese film industry came today.

But everyone came here early in the morning and rushed to Director Lu. If they could get Director Lu’s autograph or take a photo, they could brag to their friends for the rest of their lives.

At this time Liu Yifei got out of the car, wearing a white skirt and holding Lu Chen's hand.

Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying and others followed behind, all four of them wearing skirts of different colors.

The four young beauties are now in their early twenties and are no longer as green as before. Of course, Lu Chen has a lot of credit for this, which makes their greenness disappear faster.

But now, the four of them have outstanding temperaments and are well-established superstars in the country.

"There are so many people." Dilireba also came with her. Looking at the crowd of people in front of the hotel, I am afraid there are tens of thousands of people, and I can't count them.

"Sister Reba, this is Director Lu's influence, and to Director Lu, this is just a small scene. You have never seen a bigger scene. There are so many people there, it can scare your legs." Tong Liyan, chatting with Di Lieba.

I also learned that Director Lu is going to film the sequel to "Transformers".

I thought it would be great if I had the opportunity to participate in it. This is a global movie, and "Transformers" has hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

Lu Chen stopped, greeted the audience at the entrance of the hotel, stayed for a few more minutes, took photos with some fans, signed autographs, etc., and then entered the hotel after it was almost done.

This time we held a celebration banquet, first of all, everyone was happy.

Secondly, this time Lu Chen is filming the sequel to "Transformers" and wants to invite more Chinese movie stars to participate in the film to see if there are any suitable candidates.

This time, we can arrange more Chinese-speaking actors for the sequel to "Transformers". (End of chapter)
