Chapter 708: You sing and I'm on stage(1/2)
"The God of Death is Coming" finally delivered a satisfactory answer.
After the first week, "The God of Death" scored 120 million yuan in the domestic box office. According to the statistics department of DreamWorks, "The God of Death" is expected to score 260 million yuan in the domestic box office!
Don't think it's too little!
Horror movies are always minority movies, to put it bluntly, it is hard to wait for the elegant place!
What's more! This is the case in China!
Having a box office of over 100 million in the first week is already the peak of horror movies that can be reached!
Don’t believe that in novels, it’s impossible to be awesome in a horror movie.
Worldwide, horror movies are also minority movies. Compared with mainstream plots, science fiction, magic and other movies, they are always insignificant.
If a horror movie can win a box office that is amazing, just behave like a bullshit, don't take it seriously!
Remember to talk about box office, not influence, these two points cannot be confused!
Even if a horror film has a great influence, it is impossible for it to win a super high box office.
Minorities are always minorities!
Take the reality of this, you may know that a horror movie is very famous? But how many of them really went to the cinema to watch it? I'm afraid not many of them?
So the question arises? Why are there many horror movies coming out?
According to data, in addition to satisfying the appetite of a few horror fans, the bigger reason is that horror movies can also make money, but the way of making money is different!
Indeed? Horror movies are not very good at box office, but the DVD audio and video around them are amazing!
Strictly speaking, many horror movies focus on peripheral DVDs.
What is used for collection is much more than what you actually go to the cinema to watch?
Horror movies belong to minorities, and they are not something that art movies look down on givenness? But in reality, the results are really not high but qualitative.
Compared with some science fiction movies, magic movies, disaster movies, etc., the box office of more than one billion yuan, horror movies are really insignificant!
You can’t have both fish and bear’s paws. Fortunately, there are also audio and videos around it, which makes up for the influence of minority films such as horror movies!
To put it further, is there anyone who wins the horror movie? There seems to be no? Unless it is a special award!
Just think about it, even such awesome science fiction movies are difficult to win awards, let alone horror movies!
There are many hidden secrets in horror movies, such as the director who makes horror movies, which is difficult for him to really integrate into the director's circle.
To put it bluntly, it’s like the director who shoots AVs is not on the stage.
It's just that this metaphor is a bit ugly!
Not only that, is the characterization of horror movies very powerful?
This qualitative is especially highlighted by the director. As long as you, the director, make a horror film with great influence, you will be subconsciously considered by the fans to be a horror director for a long time after that!
This is a very powerful inertial thinking!
Why is this? When Wang Meng first started as a director, she would rather shoot a "This Man from Earth" that would not be on the stage in her previous life than try a horror movie easily!
Filming pseudoscience fiction can at least have a reputation as a genius, but filming horror movies will only be uncomfortable!
Of course, horror movies are also beneficial?
First, less investment means second; second, easy to get started, and easy to get started means third; third, easy to take pictures; simple and easy to take pictures means fourth, and fourth, no fear of losing money?
If you have little investment and are easy to get started, aren’t you afraid of losing money? How many can you accompany you?
Not to mention the better innate condition is - the peripheral DVD that focuses on horror movies?
As for theater releases? It may be the type of movie that requires the least amount of theaters among all movies, except documentaries!
In short, there are many benefits and many disadvantages. This is the entanglement of horror movies!
...
Time flies until early February 2011, when "The God of Death is Coming", which was released for one month, finally won a box office of 264 million yuan in China, a little more than expected!
Across the world, "The God of Death" won a box office of US$170 million, equivalent to a box office of nearly 1.2 billion yuan. With the domestic 264 million yuan, this is a box office of 1.46 billion yuan.
According to the investment ratio (plus publicity, later stage, etc.), it is only 100 million yuan.
According to DreamWorks worldwide, the total share ratio is 40%.
"The God of Death is Coming" gross income is nearly 600 million yuan, and if minus 100 million yuan, it will be 500 million yuan.
Excluding the miscellaneous taxes and other miscellaneous things in various places, the remaining net income has more than 400 million yuan!
A movie made 400 million, which is a very amazing achievement!
Not to mention, the surrounding area is the big head, not to mention the shooting of future sequels!
There are reports that: "The God of Death is Coming" is a classic horror film, another small investment and high box office case. This marks that DreamWorks' creation of horror films is becoming more and more perfect. Putting aside the net income of 400 million yuan in the first film, the surrounding area can contribute at least 200 million to 400 million yuan in the next few years. The success of the first film indicates the guarantee of future sequels. It can be said that a "The God of Death is Coming" has leveraged the total amount of nearly 10 billion yuan in the future!"
The report is a bit exaggerated, but I have to say it is very close!
That's it, each movie can have a box office and DVD revenue of 600 million yuan, and six movies will have a revenue of nearly 4 billion yuan. Remember this is what it means to have net income, and the gross income will be at least 10 billion yuan!
In addition, in the future, there are not many broadcasts, broadcasts, and even bigger game adaptations, TV series adaptations, portrait rights, naming rights, etc. on the Internet!
Just over $1 billion?
After five movies of "The God of Death" in my previous life, it has already leveraged more than one billion US dollars!
Of course, these may require accumulation in the next ten or even twenty years!
But a creative movie is terrible to pry so many things?
This time, I know why good movies make money? I also know why our domestic film industry is becoming more and more exciting in the future?
More intuitive? How much do you think the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light" has been leveraged? Is it even more outrageous? Movies, TV series, games, book publishing, etc.
This is the reason why Wang Meng has laid out a long time ago after becoming an industrial chain!
Anyway, it's so tempting!
Finally! Do you know what makes money? Yes, it’s creativity!
An idea, a book, a script, a flash of inspiration!
...
The rush of time is like flowing water. By early February, "The God of Death is Coming" and "Thirty-Three Days of Love Break" have become a thing of the past!
Wang Meng's main job is "Transformers".
I'm afraid of shooting, and I can't do anything if I get tired of shooting. He is not a god, so I can't say nonsense - Kaka a movie has been completed in a month, especially such science fiction blockbusters!
It can only be consumed little by little.
Not every movie is like "This Man from Earth" that was filmed in ten days? Not every movie is like "The Witch Brightman" and "The Ghost Record" that was filmed in seven days...
Strictly speaking, "Transformers" is pretty good. Have you heard of films that have been filmed for five years? Some documentaries even have been filmed for six or seven years? That's time-consuming!
More than a year, plus one and a half years of release, isn’t Transformers slow?
but……!
In February, a movie that had been filmed for more than a year was finally released!
Some time ago, the publicity was overwhelming and the director's reputation was very famous. Another movie debut several years later. It immediately attracted the attention of countless people!
That's right, it's "Let the Bullets Fly"!
Wang Meng participated in the premiere of this movie!
From the second day of the premiere, fame and reputation suddenly became a storm!
Jiang Wen doesn’t need much fame, and DreamWorks’ publicity efforts are even more outrageous. The product of the combination of the two is called Monster!
Yes, "Let the Bullets Fly" is such a monster!
The reason is very simple. I asked my friends who have read it, how many of them have really understood it? Or do they understand it within one or two times?
I'm afraid not many!
But Jiang Wen’s movie is so awesome? Even if many people don’t understand it very much, or they only need to read it several times, it doesn’t prevent many people from pretending to behave, right?
Many people thought to themselves: "Damn, why can't you understand? But it's so good! But is it okay to pretend to be a fool and say that the movie is awesome?"
Many people think about it, just do it like this?
So - a movie that boasts about how good it is, a mentally disabled person can't understand it, a test movie that is mentally retarded!
Just like Wang Meng's "Butterfly Effect", it is all such a product!
The whole month was the world of "Let the Bullets Fly", 100 million, 200 million...600 million, 700 million!
A month later, "Let the Bullets" won a box office of 720 million yuan in China, and it was in an uproar!
In addition to Wang Meng, who else can create such a miracle in China? The most confident one is Feng Xiaogang's "Spider-Man". Now Jiang Wen is the first to appear!
The box office of "Letting Bullets" in the previous life was only 660 million yuan, which has far exceeded this life. It is expected to be released in one month and can win a box office of 800 million yuan.
This has led to the tide and prosperity since the beginning of the movie!
