Entering its second week, the popularity of "Let the Bullets Fly" has not dropped at all.
First of all, many small and medium-sized theaters have increased their support for the filming of "Let the Bullets Fly". Among them, the Kiwi Theater has added 500 screens. As a result, "Let the Bullets Fly" has penetrated into third- and fourth-tier cities.
people were also able to watch "Let the Bullets Fly", a sensational film in the film industry.
And it’s also because of the good reputation.
No matter which website it was on, everyone expressed their love for Jiang Wen's down-to-earth attitude, and they were even more appreciative of Jiang Wen's words in the movie about "making money while standing up."
The story is good, the actors are awesome, the plot conflict is also very interesting, and the shooting process, etc., it has the flavor of a tough man, which makes the audience who are used to watching domestic shitty movies shine in their eyes and naturally support it.
"Let the Bullets Fly".
So, on Monday, "Let the Bullets Fly" had a box office of 79 million; on Tuesday, "Let the Bullets Fly" had a box office of 8000 trillion... On the weekend, it exploded again with a box office of 330 million in three days, and the cumulative box office in the second week was as high as 700 million!
Including more than 400 million in the first week, the box office in the 10 days of release was 1.126 billion, and the average daily box office exceeded 100 million. The average box office was simply shattered!
Baoyu Group is so laughing that it makes me laugh even in my dreams!
Originally, they were optimistic about Jiang Wen's film, but they just thought that Jiang Wen's film was likely to exceed the box office of 600 million.
Unexpectedly, in just ten days, it had a box office of 1.126 billion, becoming the first domestic film to break the 1 billion box office mark, and the holder of a series of records for domestic films.
Although the box office of "Avatar" is really unattainable, but with "Let the Bullets Fly" as the foundation, are you still worried that Jiang Wen's films will not hit new highs in the future?
In contrast, Jiang Wen had nothing to be proud of. He still appeared in front of people as coolly as ever, neither arrogant nor modest, which fit the image of Jiang Wen in people's eyes.
But in fact, Jiang Wen was still very happy. He immediately started preparing for his new script. It is said that this story adapted from a real case in the Republic of China is what Jiang Wen has always wanted to film.
He had immediately invited Uncle Ge to star, and he had not forgotten his promise to Cheng Yunyan and sent her an invitation. As for whether to go or not, it was Cheng Yunyan's own business.
Xiao Qi heard what Cheng Yunyan said. Although it was a pity that Cheng Yunyan did not appear in such a big production, he remembered that she had never been a person who was greedy for fame and fortune, so he naturally followed her wishes.
Since the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" will definitely exceed 1.5 billion yuan, compared 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, the total net profit is at least 100 million yuan.
.
Then the DVD, Internet, TV broadcast rights, etc. are worth at least 50 million. Although the peripheral income is not as developed as in Europe and the United States, it is at least much better than in previous years.
For this reason, Baoyu Films has specially invested an additional 50 million yuan in promotional capital to burn this flame even more vigorously.
But this will almost earn at least about 600 million yuan. It has completely topped the throne of the film with the highest investment-output ratio in the history of China.
Of course, if changes in prices and currency purchasing power are removed, "Let the Bullets Fly" would be number one. Otherwise, "Shaolin Temple" will always be a monument that subsequent films cannot surpass!
Seeing Baoyu Group making so much money, the movie queen's sister felt a little enthusiastic. She called her husband to ask if she wanted to invest in Jiang Wen's new film.
Xiao Qi heard what she said. The estimated cost of filming Jiang Wen's new film is 200 million yuan. Adding in overruns, publicity expenses, etc., it will cost at least 300 million yuan.
To be honest, Xiao Qi admired Jiang Wen's talent, but he had also heard about Jiang Wen's bad temper.
Jiang Wen's control over the set is well known, but it's nothing. But Jiang Wen's waste of money is comparable to Cameron's, which makes Xiao Qi a little worried.
Cameron's waste of money is a waste of money. But he never plays tricks. He never talks about making an art film or how much content it should have. From the beginning to the end, Cameron has been the king of commercial films.
But not Jiang Wen!
He is still an old literary youth at heart, always hoping to express some profound truths. This is reflected in all his works. The movie "The Devil Is Coming" was banned for this reason.
Even though "Let the Bullets Fly" is now extremely popular, Jin Bangleng told Qiao Guoer that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television was very dissatisfied with some of the insinuations and expressions in "Let the Bullets Fly". If the next
If he still does this in the movie, they will not be stingy and directly give him back the right to modify the editing, letting him know what the final editing right is.
Xiao Qi was worried that once Jiang Wen succeeded, he would be a little arrogant and think about making an earth-shattering movie, but now it would be worse.
But seeing how enthusiastic Qiao Guoer was, Xiao Qi could only agree to the actress' sister participating in the investment.
In fact, Baoyu Group wanted to take over all the investments, just like this time, but I don't know if it was because it received the news that it suddenly changed its mind and pulled everyone to invest together.
Therefore, Kiwi Films and Television accounted for 50 million, Raytheon accounted for 50 million, Bona also accounted for 50 million, and the remaining 150 million belonged to Baoyu.
From Xiao Qi's point of view, Baoyu Group is not thinking about losing money together with everyone, but thinking that if there is a problem then, then these groups will work together to intercede and build relationships, which will always make them look good.
If nothing else, Xiao Qi behind Qiao Guoer is enough for the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to consider.
This is nothing, Xiao Qi admires Baoyu's response and magnanimity. If it were the actress's sister, it would be strange if she would give up her investment share!
Speaking of the rapid popularity of "Let the Bullets Fly", of course, not only the major film and television companies are excited, but also those who have so much money that they can't find anywhere to spend it!
Business has not been easy in the past two years. Small and medium-sized enterprises can 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 an emerging industry to invest in.
In addition, the coal bosses in western Shanxi, the small oil bosses in the north, the mining bosses in the northwest... and other local tycoons also have money and don't know how to use it.
Just when "Avatar" came out, China's box office revenue reached more than 4 billion yuan. They never thought that a movie could make such money!
Then there was "Let the Bullets Fly" directed and directed by Chinese people and it became a box office hit, with a box office of 1.126 billion in 10 days. And its cost was only 200 to 300 million. How much money did it cost?
Of course, these outsiders don't know that after the success of "Avatar", whether Chinese movies will make money or not will not matter at all.
They also don’t know that a classic like “Let the Bullets Fly” is hard to come out in three to five years. 90% of Chinese movies are still losing money!
If only they could see Avatar and Let the Bullets Fly make huge profits!
Making a movie is nothing more than finding a good script, a good director, some good actors, and more theater support!
And these things, as long as you have money, anything can be done easily!
Of course, fundamentally speaking, their idea is correct.
Making movies is what they want.
But the point is that none of it is that easy!
Good book?
Do you know what a good script is? Does a good script guarantee a good movie?
Good director?
There are only a few good directors in China, and they all have their own fixed collaborators. Can you hire them if you rush in?
Good actor?
There are quite a few good actors in China, but they are very particular about which drama they should be matched with. You absolutely can’t just stuff them in just because they are big names. That won’t work!
Looking for theater support?
This is easy. If you do the first three things well, then of course the theater chain will support it.
But if you can't do it, then no matter how much money you put in, or how much you lower the distribution ratio, the theater chain will not be so stupid as to keep giving you good schedules!
However, those rich people who have money but no place to spend it and want to gain both fame and fortune can no longer control so much. Many people are not very familiar with the film industry at all, so they just fell into it!
Waving banknotes in their hands, they went around looking for good books, good directors and good actors.
As a result, I met that the most indispensable thing in the Chinese film industry is brokers. They are those who use words to cheat money, so I don’t know how many people were deceived by those old fritters. They threw a lot of money into them.
The rumors in the film industry these days are becoming more and more high-profile.
Some people spend 200 million to create a martial arts blockbuster, while others spend 300 million to create a popular blockbuster in China... Whether it is Xu Laoguai, Zhang Guoshi, Feng Buckya. Or Wang Jing, Du Boss, Lin Lingdong
These directors are all related to these investments.
As for the actors, it was a matter of direct money and money.
Jiang Wen’s salary is 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 yuan!
Uncle Ge’s salary is 30 million yuan!
Actor Zhou’s salary is 30 million yuan!
…
Not only are the salaries of these first-tier celebrities skyrocketing, but the salaries of second-tier and third-tier stars are also rising sharply because of this craze.
Many actors sign contracts happily. It doesn’t matter whether the movie is successful or not, as long as I can get paid!
The most ridiculous thing is that someone actually came to Qiao Guoer with an offer of 30 million yuan for a movie.
This shows how ignorant these people are!
Anyone who knows something about the film and television industry doesn’t know that Qiao Guoer is the most powerful woman in the film and television industry right now?
He has the largest Kiwi theater chain in China and huge film and television resources, so how can he possibly star in another movie?
Qiao Guoer told Xiao Qi this matter as a joke, but the young man knew that the chaos in the film industry had already begun in advance!
In the previous life, hot money poured into the film industry starting from "囧", but unexpectedly, because of his support for "Let the Bullets Fly", he appeared in this world ahead of time!
I really don’t know whether this kind of thing is good or bad for Chinese movies!
Because the young man remembered the Hong Kong movies of the past, it was because of the influx of hot money from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, which directly made Hong Kong movies very superficial and chaotic. Everyone only made movies to make money, and there was no seriousness at all.
mean.
Of course everyone already knows the final result.
Hong Kong cinema has been in direct decline since then, and even nearly 15 years later, there is no sign of recovery!
This is something that cannot happen in China! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
