China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

On the 30th, the phased results for the summer season were also released.

First up is Pacific Rim.

At present, "Huan Tai" has grossed 450 million U.S. dollars at the global box office and 660 million yuan in the mainland.

Among them, the box office in the sub-account area totals about 290 million, and the rest are distribution and sell-out areas.

In the future, "Huan Tai" will still be released in the world for about a month, and the box office will only increase by 50 million to 70 million, and most of it will be in the sell-out area.

Judging from the box office, the mission was successfully completed.

The original time and space was 410 million, and now it can exceed 500 million, which is very good.

But from a profit perspective, it can only be said to be okay.

The production cost of Huantai is US$70 million, which does not include the cost of technology development and studio construction.

Plus US$40 million in regional publicity expenses.

The total cost is US$110 million.

In terms of advertising revenue, it is far less profitable than classic IPs like "Batman".

So now let’s take a look at the overall situation.

At present, Xingchen's box office profit from the Pacific Ocean project is only 50 million US dollars.

Coupled with the 28 million issuance sell-out, the total is less than 80 million US dollars.

It's also average in terms of peripherals.

It's okay in North America, but the domestic market is very barren.

The original space and time was not called "just starting out" until more than ten years later.

So we can’t expect too much peripheral income now.

However, Lu Pingan has already taken advantage of the time of "Wonderful Night 1" to set up an independent toy company, specializing in peripheral production and licensing of independent IPs, as well as agency business for other IPs.

Huantai now launches products that include refined versions of the mechas and monsters in the movie. It cooperates with Taobao and the sales volume is pretty good. One month after the movie was released in the mainland, over 10,000 units have been sold.

In terms of physical stores, the museum from the earlier "Wonderful Night 1" has now changed. While retaining the museum content, it has been replaced with a toy sales point.

Currently, most of the products inside are genuine peripheral products of famous IPs.

But I believe that as Stars grows stronger in the future, there will be more and more of their own products.

"Huan Tai" is temporarily summarized, followed by "We Are from the Future".

The box office of the film reached 220 million in the first month of its release. In the second month, like all movies, it was squeezed by two blockbusters in July, and the box office suffered pitifully.

So the final box office was fixed at 226 million.

This is the box office of theaters, because movies also have certain special support, and the box office data of other channels are also good, more than 40 million. When the school term starts in September, the movie will start to be screened in schools around the world, and the box office will not be counted.

Overall, the box office revenue of "We Come from the Future" is roughly around 80 million yuan. Adding in copyright income and subtracting costs, this wave of profits is around 100 million yuan.

The box office of 226 million also made Ning Hao the third mainland director to have a single film with a box office of more than 200 million, following Lu Ping'an and Lao Mouzi.

It’s just that the blockbuster battle in July was too intense.

His achievement seems a bit inconspicuous.

But it doesn't matter, this doesn't affect everyone's joy in having a celebration party together, and the time is tonight.

Because the subject matter of the movie is not suitable for being too high-profile, reporters were not invited to this celebration banquet.

So the only people who came that night were all the members of the crew, the producers, and advertisers.

After a great meal, no one could leave standing except for a few.

Ning Hao was happy, and so were the other four leading actors. This time they also reached the peak of their lives.

Everyone has gotten a lot of roles through movies, but the four of them will still focus on Lu Ping An's projects first.

"We Come from the Future" has concluded successfully, and Ning Hao will start preparing for "Wonderful Night 2" next.

Huang Bo will continue to play Zhao Kuo, and Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei and Bao Qiang will make guest appearances.

Dong Xuan's net worth has also risen significantly recently.

The role of the hygienist is indeed very eye-catching and has become the most iconic role in her career, second only to "Goddess Dragon".

Luo Jingmin won't talk about it anymore. Now that he has a lot of acting appointments, he won't accept them casually because he knows that Lu Ping'an's side is the most important.

Zhang Yi's gains this time are also good, but his popularity is much lower than others, so his gains are naturally not as good as others.

But next, Zhang Yi will usher in another classic role, that is Meng Fan in "My Captain, My Group".

Lan Xiaolong has completed the script for "Our Regiment" in Tengchong a few days ago, and will announce the project tomorrow night at the "Soldier Assault" celebration party. He has already told Zhang Yi about this.

In response to this, Zhang Yi drank nearly two kilograms of liquor tonight, unable to stop himself, and thanked him profusely for a safe road.

For him, the experience of this year and a half was quite magical.

At the age of 28, I still have achieved nothing. Seeing that there is no future for me, the role of "Shi Jin" comes.

Then during the most glorious scene of the character "Shi Jin", Lu Pingan came to visit the crew, and he was able to witness his wonderful performance with his own eyes, and then he successfully caught the eye of Lu Pingan, a great god, and successfully signed the contract Xingchen became the third contracted actor of Xingchen, also known as the "Third Brother".

The signing time was just in time for the project of "We Come from the Future" to be launched on the big screen. Next, he will become the protagonist in "Our Group".

For this reason, he had already confirmed several times whether there was smoke coming out of his ancestral grave.

Zhang Guoqiang was also grateful to Lu Ping An.

When he acted in "Soldier Assault", he was already 37 years old. He couldn't even pay for milk powder for his own children, so he had to rely on family support. Later, he became famous with "Seventh Company Commander", and then received the job of "We Come from the Future" He plays the role of an instructor and will next be seen in "Mystery of the Dragon".

Not to mention anything else, in terms of income alone, he has achieved a ten thousand-fold increase, from a salary of several hundred yuan in a drama troupe, to today's various salary + endorsement income totaling more than 2 million.

So tonight he drank more than two kilograms of white wine, and every sip was full of gratitude.

Seeing Huang Bo and others nodding their heads, their drinking capacity is almost half that of Lu Ping'an!

When Lu Ping'an saw this, he also invited him to play.

Although Xingchen will not sign actors casually, as the TV series business has begun to get involved, it is still necessary to sign some worry-free actors.

Zhang Guoqiang was overjoyed after hearing this, and then drank another glass of white wine.

When I woke up, I saw the sun the next day.

Then at the "Soldier Assault" celebration party the next night, Zhang Yi was already wilted, but Zhang Guoqiang was still lively and energetic, and his drinking capacity was indeed very strong.

At the celebration banquet, Lu Pingan directly announced the project of the TV series "Our Group".

The main characters in "Soldier Assault" will continue to participate.

There is a high probability that Bao Qiang's role in "Our Group" will still be cut, but it doesn't matter. Various projects such as "Shun Liu" and "People on the Road" are waiting for him. He is not short of this role now, and he will also make a cameo. For the "soldiers", it is already a matter of sentiment, not a matter of interests.

Duan Long is still the soul figure. This time he has become famous through Yuan Lang. He has more than one acting appointment, but he is still the same when accepting roles. He is carefully selected and shows his true nature as a crazy actor.

However, Yu Feihong said a few days ago that he has finalized a cooperation with Duan Long and will start filming her movie after the filming of "Our Group" is completed.

That movie was "Love Is Afterlife", which took more than a year to shoot and was released in 2009 with a cost of 40 million and a box office of 2 million.

Just watching the movie is good, but from a rational point of view, he is not very interested in investing. Yu Feihong didn't mention investing, but Lu Ping'an was at least a human being, so he still asked if he wanted to help. Yu Feihong said on the phone The expectations were obviously much happier.

In the end, Lu Ping An invested 5 million first, and then calculated the overspending later.

At that time, with the support of his theater chain, promotion and overseas film producers, this film may still be profitable.

A set of standard resources was distributed with 5 million funds. Yu Feihong sighed with emotion: The strength of the entertainment industry bosses is different. Others may not be able to get these resources even after months of drinking and pretending to be grandsons. On the road, Ping An Here it is a matter of one sentence.

That's right, Xingchen is now a giant in the mainland, and if a little resource leaks out of the fingers, ordinary people can fly directly into the sky.

But from Lu Ping'an's point of view, if you can bring ghosts to the big screen between the two of you, you're no worse than me.

To be honest, this kind of thing is really something that Lu Ping An is not able to compare with now.

Nowadays, Xingchen’s movies are green-lighted in the eyes of a certain bureau.

It is difficult for other companies to obtain the license and the dragon label.

The main reason is that it takes a lot of time, and the review cycle is always at least five weeks.

But here in Xingchen, the calculation is based on days. The fastest can be completed within one day, such as "1937", and the rest are basically the highest priority, and the latest will not exceed a month.

This is the "privilege" of those who carry the banner.

But even so, the "ghost" cannot be realized.

The "Happy Family" he gave to Ning Hao involved ghosts. In the end, it still took more than a month for the script to pass review. The cost was that the script changed from "ghost" to "mental illness".

But Yu Feihong

Not only did it pass the review, but it also successfully obtained the Dragon Label, and it was also successfully admitted to theaters. The key is that it was not stuck for years or even months.

So Lu Pingan decided to be gentler to her when we meet in a few days.

Finally, there is Chen Sicheng.

While toasting, the young man said: "Director Lu, I have watched all of your movies during this period, and I went to the cinema to watch them all. I also wrote a total of more than 30,000 words of my impressions after watching them, so I would like to use the experience of a movie fan to Here’s a toast to you and thank you for sending so many good movies to our movie fans!”

very eloquent!

The others sighed inwardly.

After Lu Pingping heard this, he remembered the original joke.

At that time, he asked Baoqiang to tell him to watch his movie.

In fact, he just wanted to get his money back. After all, he contributed a lot of movie tickets to this guy in his previous life.

But then he forgot about it.

Lu Ping'an found it very interesting when the little brother mentioned it so euphemistically.

It's just right, so I took this opportunity to accept him: "Really? Give me your thoughts tomorrow morning, don't be unable to show it by then!"

Chen Sicheng understood the meaning instantly, and then he was overjoyed: "Okay!"

Finally, "Soldier Assault" also came to a staged end.

As soon as everything was settled, August arrived the next day.

"Kung Fu Panda", which has been in preparation for a long time, is about to take off.
