Island Tycoon

Chapter 340 Summary of Overseas Box Office

That's right, the current situation of the two major companies, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, can only be described as chaotic, very chaotic, and extremely chaotic.

Especially in the theaters under their names, a large number of people crowded at the ticket window. These people did not come to line up to buy tickets.It is the people who bought tickets before and now want to refund them, and most of them are scalpers.

Originally, these scalpers who bought a large number of tickets planned to make a profit by speculating on movie tickets.Let alone making money in this situation, it is difficult not to put capital into it.

This also corresponds to the saying that investment is risky. Before the movie was released, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers spent a lot of money on publicity. They said it was a big production worth tens of millions of dollars, and they put it on the screen with an invincible attitude.

In the end, when the audience went into the theater to find out, they found that the plot was not so boring that they almost made people sick, so they said in a timely manner: What the hell is this?
Among them, the audience of Golden Harvest had the most fun, or the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.In fact, Shaw's "Blade Runner" is not much better than "The Killer".But the audience accepted Shaw Brothers' situation, but they fought against Golden Harvest to the end.

Because these audiences have subconsciously believed that it is normal for Shaw Brothers to make bad movies, just like its cookie-cutter martial arts movies. Don’t you want to see any surprises?
But so many people are optimistic about you Jiahe, the movie still has Chenglong as the protagonist.As a result, after they entered the arena to watch, they found that the aura of the protagonist of Chenglong had been robbed a lot by the ghosts. Want them to pay?
According to word of mouth, more and more people are labeling the two films "The Killer" and "Blade Runner" as bad movies, at least they cannot arouse the desire of Hong Kong people to watch.

Speaking of the ticket refund incident this time, it is also indirectly related to Qingdeng Entertainment.If it weren't for the crazy box office performance of "The True Colors of Heroes", the incident of ticket refunds by the two major companies would not have caused such a big fuss.

After all, a ticket is only a few yuan of consumption, and you can barely read it at a low cost.The bad thing is that the two major companies did not set up ticket purchase restrictions, resulting in more than 4% of the movie tickets in the past few days being held by scalpers.

The movie tickets in the hands of these ticket scalpers range from dozens to hundreds.If it is sold and cannot be sold, and it is impossible to read it alone, it must be refunded by Lian and others.

Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest would not be able to give them a refund, otherwise these scalpers would surround the ticket window all day long, which would seriously affect the operation of the theater chain.This point is second, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai are not the first day to run theaters, and some have methods to disperse these people.

But these people can be driven away, but their mouths cannot be sealed.It is not ruled out that some of them deliberately caused trouble. Once rumors are spread by them, it will have a great impact on the company's reputation.

So during Ye Jingcheng's stay in Dawan, the box office of the two major companies, "Killer's Trench" and "Blade Runner", stayed at 280 million and 240 million respectively because of the turmoil of ticket refunds. .

It is worth mentioning that there is also Anle Films, as a potential rival of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers this time, Anle also released a foreign language film called "Uncle in Difficulty", but the performance of this film far exceeds that of the two companies.

Of course, this has something to do with the long-term release of foreign language films on Broadway theaters.Another one is that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings. The film has been released for less than ten days, and its total box office has broken through the three-figure figure.

It doesn't seem like much, but there is another cost issue involved.Such a movie costs at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to shoot, but Anle Films operates as an agent, that is to say, except for the agency fee ranging from tens of thousands to more than [-].

In addition to the daily maintenance cost of the theater, this account can roughly be offset by the profit of the sales department. Therefore, the 300 million box office of Anle Films can at least make a profit of 250 million, which is higher than the current mid-term income of "Blade Runner". The box office is even higher.

……

Putting this related data sheet aside, Li Ying continued to report on official issues.

"Ye Sheng, the data of these companies' films in overseas markets includes 600 million for "Why You Have Me", 400 million for "Seven Days of Love", 800 million for "Autumn Fairy Tale", and [-] million for "My Love". heroic nature"……"

After passing several data sheets to Ye Jingcheng, Li Ying said, ""The True Colors of Heroes" is 600 million."

"Ninety-six million?" Ye Jingcheng was aroused. Ninety-six million is not a small amount.

At the beginning, he expected the total box office to be only 3000 million, and the box office of [-] million was added.Now the overseas market alone has given him nearly [-] million funds.

Ye Jingcheng looked through these data, and the island country has undoubtedly become the box office box office of "The True Colors of Heroes", creating a box office of nearly 20 billion yen, which is equivalent to about 600 or [-] million Hong Kong dollars. This amount is even higher than the box office of Hong Kong Island. to be tall.

It is undeniable that the film market in the island country is indeed much higher than that in Hong Kong Island. 20 billion yen seems a lot, but Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon" landed in the island country in 73 and already created a box office of 30 billion.

Is this higher than 20 billion?It is true that no one can replace Bruce Lee, but at the price of 30, the 60 billion at that time was worth the current [-]-[-] million.

This is also why Chenglong's movies are so popular in the island country, and it is also related to the point that "the predecessors plant trees, and the descendants reap the fruits".Basically, every martial arts movie of Chenglong can create a box office of more than one billion.

The 20 billion of "The True Colors of Heroes" is at best an annual champion, and the prefix of a foreign language film is added.If it is not limited by Toei's resources, it will be released on Toho's platform. 30 billion is not dare to think, at least it can hit 25 billion.

The next box office box office is Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. These three regions are represented by the same company-Nanyang Shaw Brothers. Although Shaw Brothers is likely to be replaced in a few years, it is still deeply affecting the three regions, and has won nearly two box offices. Thousands of nine million Hong Kong dollars.

The third largest market is Dawan, and the cooperation partner is China Film Group, one of the three major public production units, with a total box office of 200 million NT dollars.When the New Taiwan Dollar was released, five NT dollars was equivalent to one US dollar, and the exchange rate with the Hong Kong dollar was not much different.

However, due to the rise in prices in recent years, the increase in the income of employees, and the continuous vicious depreciation, the exchange rate of the NT dollar to the US dollar has dropped from 5:1 to 12:1, and the exchange rate between the NT dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is about 1:2.6.

That is to say, the box office of "The True Colors of Heroes" in Dawan is equivalent to about 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

The rest are some scattered box office, including more than ten regions such as Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea, North America, etc., but no matter how thin the legs of mosquitoes are, they are still meat. What's more, these regions are performing a scene of gathering sand and forming towers, accumulating a total of nearly 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. box office.
