Chapter 987: The 4th Film Breaking 1 Billion Box Office Was Born(1/2)

Originally, everyone thought that the 2012 annual championship was decided after Gravity's box office exceeded the 977 million yuan of Titanic 3D.

But I didn’t expect that a super dark horse actually jumped out in December, which once again caused a wave of the competition for the championship!

I thought that the one who could disrupt the championship battle would be Cheng Long's "The Twelve Zodiacs" or Feng Dapao's "1942".

However, "1942" failed directly.

The original momentum of "The Twelve Zodiacs" was very rapid, but under the competition of "Lost in Thailand", it gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Especially the dark horse in "Lost in Thailand", which is so violent that it is even more violent than "The Twelve Zodiacs", which shows that the color of this dark horse is simply shiny.

Moreover, Xu Shanzheng, the director of "Lost in Thailand", was not born professionally in the director, but was crossed by actors. More importantly, this is just the second film directed by Xu Shanzheng.

Under such circumstances, how could Chen Hao, the leading director of the mainland's number one commercial film who has been famous for ten years, not letting people hold their heads in a look of disbelief?

Faced with this situation, major film companies, media, industry and experts took "Lost in Thailand" under a microscope to analyze every frame and every second, hoping to find the box office password of "Lost in Thailand".

Soon, many experts and industry analysis of the reasons for the box office explosion of "Lost in Thailand 2: Lost in Thailand" was released one after another.

First of all, this schedule is good.

Watch the movies of the same period. "1942" deeply portrays hunger and famine but fails to break the high box office record of the healing film created by "The Great Tangshan Earthquake", and the final box office may be only half of it.

However, "The King's Feast" is more difficult to watch smoothly due to its abrupt style, and the Navy incident was soon removed from the box.

Later, "Blood Drops" and "Big Shanghai" were both super bitter emotional movies. I wonder if it was influenced by the rumors of the end of the world in 2012. Except for "The Twelve Zodiacs", everyone is collectively commemorating the suffering and nostalgia.

This makes the comedy New Year film "Lost in Thailand" instantly stand out!

The second is the success of "Lost in Thailand 2: Lost in Thailand" itself!

First of all, it does not pretend to be noble, it only creates within its own ability; secondly, it respects the audience and does not kidnap the audience for marketing; again, it is not dark, and does not try to carve beams and painted buildings to your inner world.

Perhaps this is what is called down-to-earth. The three embarrassing gods had a very reliable embarrassing encounter, but they played the laughter that the audience expected.

Third, the chemical reaction of the iron triangle.

Wang Baobao's "silly" image and temperament have always been unique in the circle. Such an image can often create a very natural and excellent joke.

Xu Shan strives to be a comedian with his images such as "Li Wei" and "Zhu Bajie". In addition, his seemingly serious and cold appearance in "Lost in the Road" is in sharp contrast with Wang Baobao. It is very easy to produce jokes and can be regarded as a cold-faced laughter!

Huang Bo, his external image and has been quite comedic talent since "Crazy Stone".

Now, the three of them get together and have a wonderful chemical reaction, which produces a comedy effect of 1+1+1>3. The performance and combination of the three are called the iron triangle of comedy.

Fourth, "Lost in the Road" is the first.

"Lost in the Road" is undoubtedly a very successful low-cost comedy movie in recent years. It has a good quality and has also attracted a lot of fans.

Therefore, after the sequel to "Lost in Thailand" was released, many fans who have watched or heard of it before will tend to prefer "Lost in Thailand" when it comes to watching movies.

After all, most people watch movies to relax or pick up girls, comedy movies are undoubtedly one of the best choices.

...

Now everyone is shocked by the box office of "Lost in Thailand 2: Lost in Thailand". Xu Shanzheng kept asking himself while being ecstatic, "Is the movies I made really that good?"

At the same time, Haotian Movie has also become the object of envy for everyone. After all, this movie was invested in Haotian Movie, and making a lot of money is not enough to describe the profits of Haotian Movie.

For this reason, Xu Shan was also a little confused while competing for surprise. Why didn’t he insist on participating in the investment at that time?

Originally, Xu Shanzheng wanted to participate in the investment, but after all, the total investment in "Lost in Thailand" is not high, so it is still okay to get a few million or use your own pay to participate in the investment.

However, Chen Hao specifically emphasized that Haotian's movie "Lost in Thailand" needs to be fully invested. Of course, it is quite tactful, and movie investment is risky.

The copyright belongs to Haotian Film, and Haotian Group's industry status is beyond doubt, far from comparable to the temple studio in the previous life.

Moreover, although "Lost in Thailand" has a good box office, it is not so good that Xu Shanzheng has the courage to stick to the situation, so in the end Xu Shanzheng did not persist, but just received a pay that exceeded the directors of the same level.

This result made the outside world sigh that Chen Hao is really a movie genius. Not only is he good at making movies by himself, but his vision is also very accurate.

At present, except for a few literary films, all other movies produced by Haotian Movie make big profits. The huge profits not only make entertainment companies jealous, but also a lot of capital is also salivating.

Haotian Film’s impressive performance has stimulated a group of capital and giants to enter the circle, and its entertainment industry’s bat!

The box office boom is certainly delightful, but now, what Chen Hao is thinking about is not the box office and revenue of "Lost in Thailand 2: Lost in Thailand", but the issue of rewards for Xu Shan Zheng and the three.

Because at that time, all the paychecks Xu Shan fought for were only 5 million yuan in total! The paychecks of Huang Bo and Wang Baobao were 3 million yuan!

Compared with the box office of the movie and the revenue of Haotian movie, the three of them have very little pay.

But Chen Hao could not have fought for Xu Shan at the beginning, so he would probably be scared to death if Xu Shan fought for him. After all, this is his second work.

Therefore, Chen Hao was preparing to fight for Xu Shan, Huang Bo and Wang Baobao some compensation, or red envelopes.

Although according to the contract, Haotian Movie does not owe three people anything, the three are rare comedians in the industry with box office appeal, and they will definitely cooperate in the future.

Now, you have earned hundreds of millions of dollars, but the three of you, as the core of the film, only receive a few million yuan in salary. Even if you don’t say it on the surface, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.

If you want to grow your career, then the situation must be bigger. There is no need to focus on this benefit, which will harm greater interests in the future.

In this "Lost in the Road" series, Chen Hao hopes that the three of them can work together all the time to avoid the failure of their previous lives, and they part ways in the third part.

Speaking of this, it is part of the reason why Chen Hao strongly asked Haotian to invest in full, which is to avoid the unpleasantness that happened in his previous life because of "Lost in Thailand".

In his previous life, after "Lost in Thailand" achieved an amazing box office, Xu Shanzheng then started preparing for "Lost in Hong Kong".

As a good partner of the two films, Xu Shanzheng naturally went to find Wang Baobao at the beginning, hoping that he could continue to participate in the performance.

After all, the two of them move and are quiet, smile and cold, which complement each other, and the comedy effect is full, making them a golden partner.

In fact, everyone should be able to see that Bao Bei’s character in "Hong Kong Empress" was originally prepared for Wang Baobao.

However, in the face of Xu Shanzheng's invitation, Wang Baobao refused directly, and the two of them never cooperated again in the future.

The reason is that there was unpleasantness in "Lost in Thailand".

In "Lost in Thailand", Wang Baobao and Huang Bo's pay are similar, but the two pay differently. Wang Baobao directly received cash, while Huang Bo used the pay to participate in the investment.

As a result, "Lost in Thailand" finally made a big box office hit, Huang Bo earned tens of millions at once, while Wang Baobao got 3 million. The rewards between the two were too different.

There is a saying that goes well, don’t worry about lack of people but not unevenness!

It doesn’t matter if it’s less, everyone is the same anyway, but you can’t treat it differently, as the conflict will be a big deal!

After all, it is still a matter of interests. Because of this reason, Wang Baobao did not participate in "Hong Kong Empress".

The role that originally belonged to him also gave Bao Bei, the glamorous number one investor.

The result was a loss.

"Hong Kong Empress" encountered a reputation crisis, and this series gradually declined from this one.

Wang Baobao did not take on "Hong Kong Empress", and then starred in the science fiction film "Frozen: The Gate of Rebirth", the action film "One Man's Martial Arts World", and the fantasy film "The Taoist Down the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige.

As a result, the box office and reputation were not ideal.

Later, he became a director and filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and although the box office was good, it was still bad enough. At the same time, Wang Baobao's popularity and audience popularity were also quite affected.

What if the two collaborated on "Hong Kong Lost" again?

Of course, there is indeed something wrong with the movie "Hong Kong Lost", Xu Shanzheng abandoned the blind funny route and instead played the youthful sentiment of middle-aged men.

There are a lot of things to express, such as love, youth, nostalgia, suspense, police and gangsters, actions, etc., but they were not handled well.

Especially the character Bao Bei, which is particularly a failure, especially compared with Wang Baobao in the first two episodes, is a world of difference.

If Wang Baobao has Wang in "Hong Kong Lost", everyone will definitely look like a lot. At the same time, as one of the leading actors, Wang Baobao should also increase its role, thereby reducing some unnecessary other elements.

In this way, "Hong Kong Empress" may look refreshing and simpler. After all, everyone is just for fun. As for the perception of middle-aged men, most people are not interested.

Back to now, because "Lost in Thailand" was invested in Haotian's movies in full, the pay between Huang Bo and Wang Baobao is almost the same, so there will be no situation in "Lost in Hong Kong".

Therefore, it should be no big problem for Wang Baobao to join "Hong Kong Lost".

After all, "Lost in Thailand" is so popular. As one of the absolute starring actors, actors generally will not refuse to participate without huge benefits.

In other words, a different movie "Hong Kong Empress" is destined to appear in this life!

Besides, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" has exceeded 600 million yuan in two weeks, and has suppressed the "Twelve Zodiac Signs".

The box office performance of the films starring Huang Jiaozhu, "Blood Drops" and "Big Shanghai", was not good, and there were no movies with box office appeal in the next two weeks in December.

It was not until January 8, 2013 that Chen Kaige's "The Grandmaster" was released.

Therefore, the industry's box office expectations for "Lost in Thailand" have exceeded "Grain" and are directly aiming for 1 billion!

Think about it, the pay for Xu Shan was only 5 million. Although the pay was decided early in the morning, Chen Hao didn't want to test Xu Shan's friendship with him or Haotian movies.

The human heart is the most untestable thing in the world, and the result will often disappoint you. Chen Hao doesn’t want everyone to make a fuss, so he must fight for compensation for Xu Shan.

This must be the case for the other two core characters Huang Bo and Wang Baobao.

According to Chen Hao's intention, before the movie was finished, they would directly compete for 15 million red envelopes for Xu Shan at one time, while Huang Bo and Wang Baobao each had 10 million.

This can show Haotian's sincerity and not make him stingy.

"You ask Haotian Movie to prepare a 15 million red envelope for Xu Shan, Huang Bo and Wang Baobao each have 10 million." Chen Hao said.

Sister Shi said in surprise when she heard this, "15 million? It's 20 million in total! Huang Bo and Wang Baobao are also 13 million. Isn't it too much?"

Chen Hao shook his head when he heard this, "It is to make them feel more so that they can feel our sincerity. The series "Lost in the Road" needs to be filmed. "Lost in the Road" with Xu Shanzheng and the other three participating, obviously more authentic and makes everyone look forward to it.

Think about the next "Lost in Thailand" that may bring hundreds of millions of benefits, and you can accept this 35 million!"
