This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 465 Breaking Through the Ceiling

"Oh my god, I never thought that The Imperial Guards would have such a high box office."

"Lin Xing is awesome. I thought Lin Xing was awesome, but I never thought Lin Xing was this awesome."

"Lin Xing has really raised the box office record of online movies several times by himself. Damn, it hasn't even been online for 24 hours, and it must have made hundreds of millions."

"Several hundred million is probably impossible, but one hundred million is definitely possible."

……

"Damn, I thought that as an online movie, it would be good if "The King's Guards" had a box office of one million on the first day, but it broke that mark in half an hour. Later, I thought tens of millions would be good, and then it broke that mark in four and a half hours, because that was less than 4 hours. I thought it would be good if "The King's Guards" had a box office of 24 million in the end, but it almost broke 5000 million. It's amazing."

"Yes, although I still have some confidence in Lin Xing, I still underestimated him."

"The box office was 6000 million, and the number of viewers on the first day was as high as 1200 million. At the same time, it also helped Penguin Video attract hundreds of thousands of new members. It's ridiculously strong."

"Penguin Video made a big poster. I dare say that if all online movies were like "The Imperial Guards", who would dare to say that they don't have class?"

……

At 8 o'clock on August 6, the box office of "The King's Guards" was updated on the data network, directly breaking 12 million.

And this is the box office revenue alone, isn't this more profitable than going to theaters? ?
What’s more important is that this is just the beginning. The revenue from the cloud cinema in the next 80 days plus the movie-watching box office revenue and so on will add up to million, which is almost a guaranteed minimum.

The guaranteed minimum is over 100 million, this online movie is going to make a ton of money, right? ? ?

The industry certainly did not expect this, because everyone is relatively familiar with online movies and knows the ceiling of online movies.

The result was good.

Are you, Lin Xing, a professional in removing ceilings? ?
Not to mention TV dramas, although the ratings are also very high, there are still quite a few excellent TV dramas in the same period.

But when it comes to movies, Lin Xing is really far ahead of others.

The ceiling for art films was originally several hundred million, but Lin Xing raised it to 20 billion, and then to 30 billion+.

Lin Xing is called the "No. 1 in Art and Literature" not because of Lin Xing's marketing as his haters claim, but because the first and second place in the box office list of art films are both Lin Xing's movies.

Then, Lin Xing’s first work to be released after “Going to Heaven” was “The King’s Guards”.

It's just an online movie, but it looks like the box office will easily exceed 100 million.

In fact, many people already had their expectations when "The King's Guards" was released yesterday, that is, this short film would be a hit.

However, no one expected that this short film would become so popular.

Almost immediately after the data network updated the box office, Penguin Video also made a large poster.

Penguin Video is the winner this time.

Because in just less than 24 hours, the number of new members added by Penguin Video was not hundreds of thousands, but nearly one million.

After all, it costs 6 yuan for VIP members of Penguin Video to buy "The King's Guards", but it costs 12 yuan for non-members, and the promotion for new members of Penguin Video is only 10 yuan.

With this in mind, many people would just want to get a membership.

As a result, Penguin Video never expected that the number of new members would surge so quickly, and the popularity of "The King's Guards" would surge even faster.

Again, if a work is discussed for more than one reason, especially if it goes beyond the circle.

At present, "The King's Guards" has already gone far beyond the circle.

Yesterday's box office had already shocked the industry, especially some actors in online movies who were envious and jealous. But now, the actors in online movies are not envious and jealous, they think Lin Xing is amazing.

It’s really amazing.

He single-handedly brought the box office of the short film "The King's Guards" to this level.

The current discussion about "The King's Guards" is not just about the box office, more people are talking about the plot.

Many film critics are writing reviews for "The King's Guards", and Lao Zhong also uploaded a review after the box office update was released.

She believes that everyone can always trust Lin Xing, and looking at the first-day box office of "The King's Guards", it can be seen that everyone does believe in Lin Xing.

If people didn't believe Lin Xing, then the box office wouldn't have been so high on the first day.

Lin Xing has never disappointed anyone so far.

In fact, Lao Zhong also didn’t understand why Lin Xing wanted to act in this short film at first, but she understood it after watching it several times.

The script of this short film is really good, and the character of Qi Wei played by Lin Xing is indeed very three-dimensional.

In addition, this time Li Jing shot a work that he is good at, or it can be said that he finally shot a film in his comfort zone.

In any case, Lao Zhong thinks that "The King's Guards" is a short film that is in no way inferior to the movie.

Lin Xing's vision is quite sharp.

Because of this, Lao Zhong was willing to believe in the science fiction film that Lin Xing took on, because Lao Zhong believed that Lin Xing had never disappointed everyone in terms of script selection.

In addition to Lao Zhong, other big film critics also have strong analysis of the plot of "The King's Guards".

Anyway, no matter how you analyze it, it can't be separated from the praise for Lin Xing.

This is where the result determines everything.

As for Situ Hui and Li Jing, they stared blankly at the data network in amazement.

Or two people did not sleep all night.

In fact, from the very beginning, Situ Hui did not have much hope for the box office of "The King's Guards", but she still knew some information about online movies.

Otherwise, Situ Hui would not have told Lin Xing that all the box office revenue would belong to Lin Xing.

Last night, Situ Hui had dinner at home. Feng Wei had just returned from filming, and his son Feng Qing was also at home.

At the dinner table, Feng Wei also suggested inviting Lin Xing to have a meal together and have a get-together, after all, Feng Qing would have to hang out with Lin Xing in the future.

What’s more crucial is that both Feng Wei and Situ Hui have certain connections in the TV drama circle, and they can pave the way for Feng Qing.

But it cannot be said that the two people have no connections in the film industry, but these connections are not enough.

For this reason, it was enough for Situ Hui that Feng Qing could play a role in "Death on Earth".

After all, Feng Qing is still young and can take it slow.

So everyone was chatting and talking about the short film "The Imperial Guards".

Feng Wei did not watch "The King's Guards", but he was actually a little curious about how much the online movie would earn on the first day.
"A box office of one million would be great."

Situ Hui smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by the fierce online promotion now, but in fact, the ceiling of online movies is limited. That's why many artists are unwilling to shoot online movies, because on the one hand, they are easily restricted, and on the other hand, they don't have the style. So I really don't care too much about the box office. It's enough for this short film to be online and promoted by Penguin Video, because it is simply a living advertisement for our [Jingwutang]..."

But Feng Qing said, "Mom, don't underestimate Lin Xing's box office appeal..."

Situ Hui said, "Xiao Qing, remember that the appeal of the box office is actually metaphysics, just like the appeal of fans. It is often quite illusory. Look at the current circle. No matter how many top fans make a movie, the fans can only contribute tens of millions of box office. In the end, it still depends on passers-by. And "The King's Guards" was originally a short film. Your mother made this just to be a graduation short film for students..."

"Fuck me..."

Feng Qing listened to Situ Hui's words and suddenly swore.

Feng Wei knocked Feng Qing on the head: "What swear words are you saying?" "No, Dad, Mom, look at the Internet..."

Feng Qing happened to see An Yifeng, Yang Tian and others starting to promote "The Imperial Guards" as a group.

After that, Situ Hui was in extreme shock.

Until the data network was updated today, she was still in a state of confusion.

Situ Hui’s WeChat has exploded.

Countless people sent her messages of congratulations.

After all, strictly speaking, "The King's Guards" was produced by [Jing Wu Tang], and Situ Hui was the boss.

Everyone thinks that Situ Hui made a fortune in this wave.

You know, according to conservative estimates, the box office of "The King's Guards" has reached 1 million yuan, and this is million yuan from the shared box office. After deducting taxes, the actual box office revenue would be million yuan.

After all, the miscellaneous taxes for online movies only add up to 10%, which is unlike movies released in theaters where the final revenue is only 4%.

The most important thing is that the short film "The King's Guards" did not even look for a publicity and distribution company.

Firstly, it was put online quickly. It was almost finished when it served as the closing ceremony of the Hundred Flowers Awards short film, and then it was put online on Penguin Video as soon as the Hundred Flowers Awards were over.

Secondly, Penguin Video spent money to buy out the broadcasting rights, and also undertook the publicity. Others who saw the various publicity activities were envious and jealous.

In such a situation, everyone can only guess that the box office share of "The King's Guards" may exceed 5000 million, or even after being free for 80 days, it may be able to earn million through advertising revenue.

This is still an optimistic scenario.

Many pessimistic people think that if "The King's Guards" can have a box office of 20 or 30 million, it would be considered amazing for Lin Xing.

As a result, no one expected that the box office would exceed 16 million within 6000 hours of its release.

This basically reached 1 million just by box office revenue.

The current "The King's Guards" has already broken the record for online movies.

"Online movie that grossed over 6000 million on the first day!"

"Online movie with over 10 million viewers on the first day!"

"The popularity of Penguin Video exceeded 10,000 on the first day!"

“The most popular online movie on the Internet!”

“The most popular topic in real-time discussion on the data network!”

"Online movie viewing volume tops the daily charts!"

"Online movie comments exceed 100 million!"

……

Up to now, "The King's Guards" has achieved as many as 20 achievements, and all of them are the ceiling of online movies.

The current cloud cinemas have only been launched on major video websites since 2020. Before that, online movies relied more on profit sharing.

Since the launch of Cloud Cinema, an online movie is considered quite outstanding if it can earn tens of millions on Cloud Cinema.

In recent years, the annual box office champion of cloud cinemas has only been 3000 million at most.

Now, "The King's Guards" has single-handedly brought the box office record of Cloud Cinema to 6000 million, and this is only the first day.

No one knows how high the box office will reach in the future.

If you look at the movie box office, the total box office will generally be between 3 and 6 of the first day's box office.

This is healthy.

As for scam movies, they are not dead. Scam movies like that usually have a box office of over 100 million on the first day, and the final box office is only 200 million.

If this is the case, the final box office of "The King's Guards" may reach a minimum of 2 million yuan, and even if the subsequent website share is added, it may be million or million yuan.

However, some people believe that: "Online movies have an upper limit. This time, "The King's Guards" has already broken through the ceiling, but online movies cannot maintain strong box office like movies. In addition, the market for martial arts movies is not that big. This "The King's Guards" has created a miracle, but it is difficult to go further."

No matter which statement is made, at least up to now, "The King's Guards" is truly a hit.

"The King's Guards" is truly the most popular drama on all major platforms.

If yesterday was the day when online movies had the strongest presence, then today is the second day when online movies have the strongest presence.

Online movies have not been popular for a long time, even filmmakers and some production companies do not pay much attention to online movies.

Because this stereotype is difficult to change.

But today, the first online movie to break the 5 million mark is about to be born, and this online movie’s box office of over million is almost equivalent to a movie’s box office of over million, so it is hard for many people not to pay attention to it.

While many people were amazed, Qi Dongqiang had already started preparing to shoot a film on the theme of "Jin Yi Wei".

The name has been thought of.

It's called "Revenge of the Imperial Guards".

Not only Qi Dongqiang, but many online film companies have also started production.

After all, online movies can be shot in as fast as 10 days, and can be online in 20 days, so it is possible to take advantage of the popularity of "The King's Guards".

This is the current situation of online movies. As long as one online movie becomes popular, all the online movies following the same network will come out.

After all, the production cost is low, the shooting cycle is fast, and the online release is fast. It is not at all like shooting a movie, which is cumbersome, troublesome and requires high investment.

"I really misjudged you."

Situ Hui followed Li Jing in the [Jingwu Hall] and said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect that the box office of "Jin Yi Wei" would be so high. Now I kind of regret giving all the box office revenue to Lin Xing."

"This is what Lin Xing deserves. If it weren't for Lin Xing, Penguin Video wouldn't even buy our short film..."

Li Jing is more open-minded, or maybe he has seen too much.

Again, without Lin Xing and the others, what is the point of this short film? ?

Penguin Video won’t want it at all.

"Besides, the performance of Jin Yi Wei is so great this time, our Jing Wu Tang has also become famous in the industry, which is worth more than tens of millions of advertising fees..."

Li Jing said with a smile: "In my opinion, we should hold a celebration banquet next, a celebration banquet for the achievement of over 100 million yuan..."

"This is good."

Situ Hui said: "It's a good opportunity to promote it, and Penguin Video just wanted us to do another interview..."
