Now "The Expendables" has been released for two days, and the discussion on this film on the Internet is very heated, and the performance of the film in the market is surprisingly good, so good that in just two days, Shuimu Forest has already made a large profit. On Monday, when the box office of the previous week was announced, everyone was sighing: Shuimu Forest has definitely dug a gold mine!

Shuimu Forest's purchase price for "The Expendables" was a very high US$50 in the first batch of films. In addition to the subsequent translation, publicity and other procedures, the total cost was about 1000 million, which was three times the purchase price, equivalent to another It cost two US$50. Although the release of the film is under the name of China Film Corporation, and the opening animation of Mizuki Forest will not appear in the opening title, but Mizuki is mainly responsible for the promotion and distribution of the film, so the payment to China Film Corporation The distribution share ratio is not large, so as long as the total box office of the film can reach 2500 million, the business will not be considered a loss.

In fact, the box office of "The Expendables" on the first day almost reached this figure!

On the day of the release.On Friday, the box office was 2300 million (including zero games). As soon as "The Expendables" was released, the film schedule of "Shrek" was greatly reduced.The box office on Saturday was 2800 million, the box office on Sunday was 2200 million, and the total box office in the first week was 7300 million!It is the film with the best performance in the overseas market, and it is also the best-performing film among all the films in Shuimu Forest, far exceeding the 5050 million in the first week of "Du Lala"!

Last week, "Tangshan Earthquake" completed its four consecutive championships since its release with 6000 million. This week, "The Expendables" used 7300 million to drive away the 3500 million of "Tangshan Earthquake".Ahead of the 5800 million of "Shrek", it successfully won the box office champion of this week, with 220 million movie viewers!Under the strong drive of "The Expendables".This week, the market has climbed to 2 million, and the film market has ushered in the second wave of movie viewing after "The Great Earthquake".

Nine old tough guys with an average age of 9 years have brought a visual feast to mainland audiences. Not only men like to watch it, but even female audiences are interested in this action blockbuster full of muscles. The opening score of "The Expendables" was 52.5 million in the first week, ranking sixth among new films this year.Among them, Wanda's theater chain has exceeded 7300 million, and several non-China Film Holdings theater chains have also performed well. It can be said that they have performed exceptionally well. It is not a problem for the total box office to exceed 1000 million. It is not known that they may even be promoted to the 1.5 million club. So far, Shuimu Forest has not had a movie with a box office of over [-] million.

It is worth mentioning that last week's 1700 million "Love Announcement" bucked the trend and rose this week, earning 3000 million, with a total box office of 4700 million.That is to say, it is a foregone conclusion that Wang Lihong's directorial debut has a box office of over 5000 million, although this romantic comedy film has many problems among film critics.Wang Lihong's talent as a director is also generally considered to be inferior to that of Jay Chou, but by virtue of the Chinese Valentine's Day effect and the strong appeal of the two male and female leading actors, he still completed a dark horse journey.

Wang Lihong's directorial debut is very successful in terms of box office. At this time, people will subconsciously mention the cross-border directorial debut "Zi Buyu". Can He Mu's directorial debut of this feature film be as successful as Wang Lihong's? Such a high box office.

He Mu had been silent about the production cost of "Zi Bu Yu" before, because its cost was really high. For example, "Love Announcement" had a box office of 5000 million and already made a lot of money, but if "Zi Bu Yu" The mainland box office of "Buyu" is 5000 million, which is a loss, and the loss will be miserable. He Mu's minimum expectation for the box office of "Zibuyu" is 300 million, so that he can barely recover the cost.In fact, the actors and the filming process don’t have much expense. He Mu’s own salary of [-] million yuan accounts for almost half of the total salary of the actors. The equipment and top-notch behind-the-scenes personnel that need to be purchased for this movie are the main expenses, because the pursuit of excellence , the subsequent expenses far exceed the original budget, and He Mu also needs to prepare enough publicity expenses. This movie should have a publicity scale worthy of her.

In order to fully devote himself to the filming of "Zi Bu Yu", He Mu rejected the invitation of two films. After getting rich, Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin wanted to follow the same idea. Last year was the gift for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and next year it will be the gift for the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. Adding more than [-] stars with zero salary, this is another hundreds of millions of profits. This time, director Huang Jianxin promised He Mu that he would choose other roles except for the girl.

Originally, I was not interested in this kind of star-studded main theme movie, and this time there was "Zibuyu" as a shield, so He Mu politely refused, but promised that if Director Huang had any financial problems, he could find him. Of course, Huang Jianxin hehe up.Afterwards, He Mu also recommended several good actors from Tiger Wolf to him. Later, Li Qin'er was really selected, and it was Yang Kaihui, the leading female lead, which was a surprise.

There is another movie that is a pity for He Mu, that is "Watchmen: Guilty Lost". The leading actor in this film, Chen Zhihui, is the Hong Kong ace actor Liang Jiahui. The price is quite high, but it is also worth the money. After all, he is a veteran film star who has a certain appeal in both sides of the strait and three places, and his acting skills are highly respected.He Mu himself thinks that the role of Zhou Dong is very suitable for him, and the director Feixing also thinks so. This role is very important in the film, which is equivalent to the second male lead. I recommended my friend Chen Sicheng to the director. His acting skills and image are enough to support this role.

In addition, Zhang Jingchu was chosen by the charming proprietress, and Tang Yu and Wenzhang were chosen by a pair of male and female college students, and they were still in the same class.Tang Xi's popularity has soared since "Sword and Sword III" was broadcast on the stars, and he has also starred in "Feng Yun 2". Wen Zhang is now a signed artist of Tiger Wolf, and he is the company's most promising actor after He Mu. He starred in The tiger-wolf war drama "Snow Leopard" is about to start broadcasting, and "Ocean Paradise" made him Li Lianjie's heart, and then he was photographed by Zhou Xingchi, who will star in his mysterious new film, and it is expected to start at the beginning of next year. Still keeping it secret, if Xiao Fang hadn't told He Mu, he wouldn't have known that Zhou Xingchi didn't reveal anything about his new film.

Except for these main actors, the supporting roles are all well-known names. From Feixing's point of view, crime genre films themselves are not easy to attract attention, and they are not liked by the market. Due to the high attention, the production cost has been soaring all the way, which makes Chen Li a little worried, but He Mu is optimistic. He doesn't expect this movie to make much box office, but such a strong lineup will not lose money.

In the last full week of August, the summer vacation that lasted three months and 13 weeks will also come to an end. Last week, "The Expendables", which performed bravely, continued its glory, winning the weekly crown with a super high box office of 9000 million, and the total box office exceeded 1.63 million. , added a new member to the 1.62 million yuan club, and successfully surpassed the [-] million yuan of "Du Lala", becoming the highest-grossing film in Shuimu Forest, and its "money journey" is far more than that.

Immediately following "The Expendables" are two new films, released by Huayi Brothers, directed by Lin Chaoxian, starring Nicholas Tse and Zhang Jiahui's "Witness" companion "Informant", this film is known as Nicholas Tse's best film that can hit the gold medal winner One performance earned 3200 million in the first six days, Huayi Brothers should be happy again.

No. 3 on the weekly list is a foreign language action film "The Last Airbender". It is a fantasy film with oriental characteristics, and it earned 2300 million in the first seven days.

The other two works of Shuimu Forest, "Decisive Battle in Shama Town" fell out of the top ten, with an account of 140 million. It has been sold on a large scale. Entertainment cooperation, and the production cost is quite high, the profit level is definitely not as good as "Glass Heart".

"Love Announcement" is limited by word-of-mouth, and this week has seen a serious decline, from 3000 million last week to 580 million this week, seventh on the list, with a total of 5340. The market potential is already very small, but this achievement is no matter whether it is Wang Lihong Or Mizuki Forest is already very satisfied.

This summer, Shuimu Forest contributed four films: "People on the Journey", "The Battle of Shama Town", "Love Announcement", and "The Expendables", of which only two small-cost films "Journey" and "Announcement" were responsible for the distribution. "(in theaters) scored 4040 million and 5340 million respectively, earning a lot of money for the producer, and also won word-of-mouth for Mizuki, and obtained a considerable distribution share.

Co-produced with LeTV Entertainment, the "Decisive Battle in Chama Town" with an even profit share also successfully broke through 1.15 million under the strong pressure of "Tangshan Earthquake", and the final box office was fixed at [-] million. Li Weiran became the queen of Jin Yimeng and Tao Quduo. The third debut is the magical director whose box office has exceeded [-] million. They have one thing in common, that is, the hero of the movie is He Mu.The film has already submitted a selection application to the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee and is expected to be shortlisted.

The most worth mentioning, and also the most legendary, is of course Mizuki Sensei’s Hollywood approval film "The Expendables", which was purchased for more than 300 million yuan. Its current two-week box office is 1.63 million, which is the highest among known approval films. It is not a problem to complete [-] million. This summer, Shuimu Forest has released a total of more than [-] million at the box office. It is finally a perfect ending!
