Age of Dreams

Entering the second week, the popularity of "Let the Bullets Fly" did not drop at all.

First of all, because many small and medium-sized cinemas have increased their support for the filming of "Let the Bullets Fly", among which 500 screens have been added to the Kiwi Cinemas. As a result, "Let the Bullets Fly" has penetrated into third- and fourth-tier cities. People in Japan have also been able to watch "Let the Bullets Fly", a sensational film.

Then it is also because of the good reputation.

No matter which website, everyone expressed their liking for Jiang Wen's down-to-earth attitude, and even more admired Jiang Wen's words in the movie "Standing to make money".

The story is good, the movie kings are awesome, the plot conflict is also very flavorful, coupled with the processing of the shooting, etc., there is a taste of iron-blooded men, so that the audience who are used to watching domestic feces movies shine in front of them and naturally support them. "Let the Bullets Fly" Hello.

As a result, on Monday, "Let the Bullets Fly" sold 79 million at the box office; on Tuesday, "Let the Bullets Fly" 8000 trillion at the box office...the three days of the weekend again broke 330 million at the box office, and the cumulative box office reached 700 million in the second week!

Adding more than 400 million in the first week, the box office for 10 days was 1.126 billion, and the average daily box office exceeded 100 million. On average, it was just a piece of spectacles!

Baoyu Group laughed so much that it even woke up in dreams!

Originally, they were optimistic about Jiang Wen's films, but they just thought that Jiang Wen's films were likely to exceed 600 million box office.

Unexpectedly, in just ten days of effort, it blasted out 1.126 billion box office, becoming the first domestic film to break 1 billion box office, and it is also the record holder of a series of domestic films.

Although the box office of "Avatar" is really unattainable, but with "Let the Bullets Fly" as the bottom line, are you afraid that Jiang Wen's films will not reach new highs in the future?

In contrast, Jiang Wen was not proud of it. He still appeared in front of people with no arrogance and modesty, but he was in line with the image of Jiang Wen in people's eyes.

But Jiang Wen was actually very happy. Immediately began to prepare his new script, which is said to be adapted from the story of a real case in the Republic of China. Jiang Wen has always wanted to shoot.

He had already invited Uncle Ge to act in the first time, and he did not forget his promise to Cheng Yunyan, and sent her an invitation. As for whether or not to go, it was Cheng Yunyan's own business.

Xiao Qi heard Cheng Yunyan say this, although it was a pity that Cheng Yunyan did not appear in such a big production, but remembering that she was never a fame and fortune person, she naturally followed her heart.

Because the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" will definitely break 1.5 billion yuan, relative to the cost of 340 million yuan so far. It has already made a lot of money.

This is only the box office in mainland China. Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States all have more or less box office returns, or in the form of buyouts. Anyway, they add up to at least 100 million yuan in net profits. .

Later DVDs, Internet, TV broadcast copyrights, etc., are less than 50 million. Although they are not as well-developed as those in Europe and the United States, they are at least much better than in previous years.

For this reason, Baoyu Movies also specially added 50 million yuan of propaganda capital to burn the flame more vigorously.

But this will at least almost make about 600 million yuan. It is fully ranked as the film with the highest contrast between input and output in the history of China.

Of course, if changes in prices and currency purchasing power are excluded, "Let the Bullets Fly" is the number one. Otherwise, "Shaolin Temple" will always be a monument that later movies cannot surpass!

Seeing that Baoyu Group made such a profit, the sister of the queen was a little bit enthusiastic. She called her husband to act like a baby and asked if she should also invest in Jiang Wen's new film.

Xiao Qi heard what she said, Jiang Wen's new film is estimated to cost 200 million yuan, plus overspending expenses, promotional expenses, etc., at least 300 million yuan.

To be honest, Xiao Qi admires Jiang Wen's talent very much, but he has long heard of Jiang Wen's stinky temper.

Jiang Wen's control on the set. It's well-known, but it's nothing. But Jiang Wen was compared to Cameron in wasting money, which made Xiao Qi a little worried.

Cameron is a waste of money. But people never play anything fictitious. They didn't say what art films should be made, how much connotation they should have, and Cameron was the king of commercial films from beginning to end.

But Jiang Wen is not!

He is still an old man in his bones, and he always hopes to express some profound truths. This is reflected in all his works. The movie "The Devil Is Coming" is banned for this reason.

Don’t look at "Let the Bullets Fly" now red and purple, but Jin Bangleng has told Qiao Guoer that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is very dissatisfied with the innuendo expressions in "Let the Bullets Fly". If he still did this for a movie, he wouldn't be stingy to call back the right to modify editing and let him know what the final editing right is.

Xiao Qi worried that once Jiang Wen succeeded, he would be a little swollen, thinking about what to make an earth-shattering movie, but now it was bad.

But seeing Qiao Guo'er being so enthusiastic, Xiao Qi could only agree to the Queen's sister to participate in the investment.

In fact, Baoyu Group wanted to take all the investment, just like this time, but I don’t know if it was because of the news that it suddenly changed its mind and pulled everyone to invest together.

Therefore, Kiwi Film and Television accounted for 50 million, the light side accounted for 50 million, and Bona also accounted for 50 million, and the remaining 150 million belonged to Baoyu.

In Xiao Qi’s view, Baoyu Group is not thinking about losing everyone together, but thinking that if there is a problem then these groups will intercede and run the relationship together, so that they can always raise their hands. A little, nothing else, Xiao Qi behind Qiao Guoer is enough for the SARFT to weigh.

This is nothing. Xiao Qi admires Baoyu's response and manners. If she is replaced by the shadow queen sister, she would be surprised if she is willing to give up the investment share!

Speaking of the rapid popularity of "Let the Bullets Fly", it is of course not only the current major film and television companies, but also the capitals who have too much money to find a place to spend!

The business in the past two years has not been very good, and small and medium-sized enterprises have been able to live better thanks to online platforms such as Xiaoyao Mall and Taobao.com. More companies and factories related to foreign trade are already struggling. I always want to find a new industry to invest in.

In addition, the coal bosses in the west of Shanxi, the petty oil bosses in the north, the mining bosses in the northwest... and so on, the local tyrants also have money and don't know how to use it.

It happened that "Avatar" turned out first, and China's box office reached more than 4 billion yuan. They never thought that a movie could make so much money!

Then, "Let the Bullets Fly" filmed and directed by the Chinese themselves became a big hit at the box office, with a box office of 1.126 billion in 10 days. And its cost is only two to three billion yuan, how much money does it make?

Of course, these outsiders will not know that after the success of "Avatar", the Huaguo movies will not make any money, and there is nothing to do with half a dime.

They also don’t know that a classic like "Let the Bullets Fly" is hard to come by in three to five years. 90% of the movies in China are still at a loss!

They only need to see "Avatar" and "Let the Bullets Fly" make a lot of money!

filming. It's nothing more than finding a good book, a good director, some good actors, and more cinema support!

And these things, as long as there is money, everything is easy to handle!

Of course, they are fundamentally correct in this kind of thinking.

Making movies is just what they think.

But the point is that none of them is so easy!

Good book?

Do you know what a good book is? Can a good book make a good movie?

Good director?

There are only a few good directors in Huaguo, and they all have their own fixed partners. Can you please come here if you rush in?

Good actor?

There are a lot of good actors in Huaguo, but you have to pay attention to which drama to match, but it is still very particular, and you must not stuff it because he is a big name. That won't work!

Looking for cinema support?

This is easy. If you do all the previous three items, then the theater will certainly support it.

But if you can't do it. So no matter how you stuff money, no matter how you reduce the distribution ratio, the theaters will not be so stupid to keep giving you a good schedule!

However, those local tyrants who have money and no place to spend and want to achieve both fame and fortune can no longer manage so many. Many people are not familiar with the film industry at all, so they just fell into it!

They waved banknotes in their hands, looking for good books, good directors and good actors everywhere.

As a result, the most indispensable thing in the Chinese film circle is the broker. It's the people who cheat and swindle money, so I don't know how many people are fooled by those old fritters. Throwing piles of banknotes inside.

The wind in the film industry these days has become more and more high-profile.

Someone created a martial arts blockbuster with a cost of 200 million yuan, while others spent 300 million yuan on a popular blockbuster in China... Whether it was Old Monster Xu, Guoshi Zhang, or Feng Yanya. It is also directors like Wang Jing, Du Boss, and Lin Lingdong who are all involved in these investments.

As for the actors, it was even more direct and real money.

Jiang Wen paid 50 million yuan!

Cheng Long's salary is 50 million yuan!

Li Lianjie's salary is 50 million yuan!

Zhou Xingxing’s salary is 50 million RMB!

Uncle Ge's salary is 30 million RMB!

The movie emperor Zhou paid 30 million yuan!

...

It's not just these first-line big-name film salaries that have turned upside down, but also the second and third-line stars, but also because of this boom, the salaries have risen sharply.

Many actors are happily signing contracts, regardless of whether the movie is successful, as long as I can get the pay!

The most ridiculous thing is that someone came to Qiao Guoer with an offer of 30 million movies.

This shows how ignorant these people are!

Anyone who knows a little bit in the film and television industry, who doesn't know that Qiao Guoer is the most powerful woman in the film and television industry now?

They have the largest kiwi theater in China~www.readwn.com~ and huge film and television resources. How could it be possible to appear in movies again?

Qiao Guoer told Xiao Qi about this as a joke, but the boy knew that the chaos in the movie circle had already begun in advance!

In the past life, the hot money that started from "Hong Kong 囧" flooded into the chaos of the movie circle, but I did not expect it to appear in this world ahead of time because of my support for "Let the Bullets Fly"!

I really don’t know whether such a thing is good or bad for Chinese movies!

Because the teenager remembered the Hong Kong movies that year. It was because of the influx of hot money from Treasure Island, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, which directly made Hong Kong movies very vain and chaotic. Everyone made movies just to make money, and there was no seriousness at all. meaning.

Of course everyone already knows the final result.

Hong Kong movies have since declined directly, and even after nearly 15 years, there is no sign of recovery!

This is something that cannot happen in China! (To be continued.)
