Everyone was very satisfied with this result, including Johnnie To, who experienced the hugeness of the mainland film market for the first time. The box office in one day was as high as that of Hong Kong Island in half a month.
This result also made Ding Hui feel relieved. In fact, he had already predicted that it should be similar to Saving Mr. Wu. After all, the subject matter is the same. Although Liu Tianwang is stronger, the influence of Johnnie To in Galaxy Image is not bad.
If the box office exceeds 600 million with normal performance, it will not be a big problem. If the performance is extraordinary...
One billion can be expected!
It sounds like a normal one, but which one has a box office of more than ten or two billion?
It’s really hard to compare to reaching the sky,
Even a lot of it is luck or fate!
For example, God of Medicine, what if someone told Xu Zheng before the release that the box office could exceed 3 billion?
Let’s see if the big bald man can kill him!
There are also unknown people. Rao Xiaozhi’s goal at the beginning was not to lose money, nothing more.
As a result, the box office exceeded 1 billion?
It has to be said that Yaoshen and Wuming are both anomalies, products of good fortune at the right time, place, and people. They must not be used as a criterion, otherwise I will not have to take on the role again.
Therefore, Saving Mr. Wu and this drug war are the norm. The former features a gathering of big names, including Liu Tianwang and Liu Ye, the two best actors, as the biggest selling point to attract audiences, and the subject matter is also adapted from a real case.
Ding Hui nodded again. To be fair, Wu Jing's acting skills are not as good as those of Zhang Yi and Huang Bo, but he is awesome, with a box office ceiling of 30 billion.
Finally, there are comedies and special effects blockbusters, which are also the subjects that are most likely to produce dark horse hits. The former looks at Shen Teng's road to fame, and the latter is not to mention the Marvel heroes sweeping the world.
"Have you noticed?" Zhao Hong looked at Ding Hui and said seriously: "You have begun to have the appeal to fight against the box office!"
"I think Zhang Yi's acting skills are the strongest among the so-called billionaire actors, and they are very malleable." Zhao Hong took a sip of coffee and continued: "As for Huang Bo and Bao Qiang, their personal styles are too outstanding, especially Bao Qiang, it is difficult to break
The audience’s fixed mindset.”
These words made Ding Hui unable to refute.
“That’s why they haven’t had many amazing works in recent years!”
"Then there is Cheng Long. His young influence is invincible, and the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award proves everything. Unfortunately, he is old now. This is the fate of all action superstars."
"But you have a good starting point. It has been at least two years since your debut and you haven't had a so-called bad movie, right?"
"Wu Jing!" Zhao Hong blurted out: "Of course there is Master Xing!"
"Liu Tianwang can't do it because he has made many bad movies before, such as..." Zhao Hong continued seriously: "The famous Fuchun Mountain Residence."
Of course, Longyun Town’s ghost talk is a good comrade!
"First was Wolf Warrior, Rise of China, which had a box office of 6 billion. Then The Wandering Earth, which is known as a new era of domestic science fiction. How much will Wu Jing's audience impression increase after the two works?"
"But the key is still the ultimate move, and the key is still the trump card, right?"
Then there are the crime themes, starting from tens of millions to reaching a maximum of one billion, with the greatest variability. There are those that use brain-burning logic, there are those that use special effects for big scenes, and there are those that use trickery and psychology...
"BUFF!"
"At least now, I think the two of them are the ones who can best compete at the box office, but they are no longer just actors."
"In fact, it's the audience's trust in the actors!"
"Reach to the sky in one step!"
"Do you think Chen Kun and Shu Qi have box office appeal?"
These theories are not groundless, but are the company's years of data analysis on the film market. Not only Zhongtian, but every peer is well aware of it.
"There is also Shu Qi, who won the box office of the year in Xingye's Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, and then won two consecutive films."
"What about Huang Bo?" Ding Hui asked: "And Zhang Yi and Wang Baoqiang?"
"Some actors can only add small auxiliary buffs that are not painful or itchy, such as restoring blood, recharging blue energy, or increasing speed to run faster. It doesn't matter if you say it is useless, it still has some merit."
"Me?" Ding Hui was stunned and sneered: "Where are you?"
Ding Hui was speechless. The most mysterious part of this concept is here. How to calculate it?
"First of all, the actor must be the leading actor, the best male lead." Zhao Hong took out a pen and paper.
"According to you." Ding Hui asked curiously: "Who do you think has the most box office appeal now?"
Ding Hui laughed when he heard it, "I'm good at this."
Most of them are Internet giants, relying on all kinds of weird gimmicks to attract clicks and defraud advertising revenue. How many of them dare to go to theaters?
"Wu Jing, for example, is full of positive energy when he appears on the stage. Doesn't the audience feel uplifted when they see him?"
Rescue Mr. Me and War on Drugs, including Eyewitness, which have not been released yet.
Zhao Hong spoke eloquently: "It's similar to business cooperation. Both parties know the basics and have a tacit understanding of cooperation for many years. Only then can we work together to make money, right?"
"Those who play soy sauce are all hooligans, and the second male lead cannot be considered to me, except for special circumstances. For example, the Hua Zi you played is not as big as Liu Ye, but the character's special opposition between good and evil can still meet the standards."
Seeing Ding Hui nodding, he smiled and said: "This is a good foundation. What is box office appeal?"
Otherwise, how to choose project investment? How to configure the cast? How to calculate the rate of return?
For example, for horror movies, the ceiling is that the box office exceeds 100 million. Looking at the data in the past ten years, there are only a handful of films that have exceeded 100 million, and you can count them with just one slap.
"Then it's the contribution to the box office. In other words, it's how much the character adds to the work. In game terms, it's called..."
You ask, if this is the case, why are there so many garbage horror movies every year?
Although Sun Honglei and his own cast in "Drug War" are not as good as Mr. Wu, fortunately Johnnie To is great and Galaxy Image is a golden brand among movie fans. The two are about the same strength.
"Take a simple example, such as Chen Kun." Zhao Hong said seductively: "The box office of Xun Long Jue back then was 1.6 billion, but now the box office of Hot Pot Hero is only 300 million?"
"Don't tell me, even Liu Tianwang can't guarantee that the audience will pay for every work, right?"
According to this analysis, the final box office of Drug War should be between 400 million and 600 million. 400 million is not very good, 600 million is considered normal performance, and more than 600 million is considered luck in my opinion.
Of course, she has been a daughter-in-law for many years and has become a mother-in-law. She started her career as an action star. Before Wolf Warrior, her career fell into a trough and she even mortgaged her house to make movies.
In order to experience the role, I went to the special forces for nine months and trained every day. You must know that I was already over 40 years old at the time.
Today’s achievements are all deserved!
This kind of positive energy is unacceptable!
"Currently the youngest members of the Ten Billion Club are Qian Xi and Liu Haoran." Zhao Hong continued: "I have met Qian Xi several times. The children are very down-to-earth and have a strong sense of professionalism."
"Liu Haoran is average. Especially after his breakup with Chen Sicheng, his resources plummeted, and his acting skills were just like that, so he was in a mess all over the world."
