Chapter 142: The Big Movie Released!
The firepower movie carrying Meng Zai's dream is about to be released, and everyone is looking forward to it.
This autumn, whether Mr. Meng is a young model in the club, or fighting left and right, depends on how the big movie performs.
Pengda Film and Television, daily meetings.
"The big movie production is 35 million, the publicity is 30 million, and the total investment is almost 70 million!
Mr. Meng said so.
Can you lose money?
As the director of this film, Yan Tao got up and promised: "Mr. Meng, don't worry, if you lose money, I am willing to be punished!"
The director spoke, but what about the producer?
Wang Kui echoed with a bitter smile: "I'm the same!"
"Good!"
Meng Lang was very satisfied with the statement of the two, and only listened to him say: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, our goal is not to make money, as long as the box office can recover the investment, then you will have a bonus!"
"Mr. Meng is atmospheric!"
The tools people are overjoyed.
If you aim to return on your investment, it's much easier.
With an investment of 70 million, according to the current proportion of domestic film box office, and after deducting miscellaneous items such as taxes and film funds, it is expected that the total box office of 250 million will be able to recover the cost.
It's not hard to do!
If it were another film, I might be worried that this goal would be difficult to achieve.
But this is "Fire Boy King"!
It is no exaggeration to say that this name alone is enough to win 200 million box office!
Don't believe it, it's true.
Let's not talk about the older Pleasant Goat movie, after all, in the domestic film market at that time, "the box office exceeded 100 million" was already very remarkable.
Just say that bears are infested with big movies, 14 years of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", with a cumulative box office of 247 million! 15 years of "Snow Ridge Bear Wind", with a cumulative box office of 294 million! 16 years of "The Return of the Bear's Heart", with a cumulative box office of 287 million!
In 17 years, it broke through the 500 million mark, and then 600 million!
If this is an anime, which is fundamentally different from the tokusatsu theatrical version, then replace it with ......
Wait a minute!
Who earns it?
Meng Lang thought about it, but couldn't find a suitable example.
Neon three special effects?
Pull it down!
Kamen and the team have filmed so many theatrical versions, not to mention derivatives, if you only mention the box office to return to the cost, how many theatrical versions have done it?
Not to mention Ultraman.
Tsuburaya's movie dreams have been shattered by the cruel reality, and even the Super Eight theatrical version, which has been praised for countless box office records, has not exceeded one billion at the box office.
Note: The unit is "Shake Guarantee".
Needless to say, how miserable it is, right?
If you include the American superhero series of movies, then the performance is okay! But everyone knows that most of the superheroes are "comic" movies......
A pure special effects movie, if it can carry the box office, it can only be the "Godzilla" series.
Speaking of China, the more outstanding live-action movies "Balala Little Demon Fairy" and "Armored Warriors" are also tepid.
Ao Fei ran out of pears.
In these theatrical versions, some word-of-mouth explosions, and some word-of-mouth backlash, but the common point is the same.
Not at the box office!
The Little Demon Fairy movie trilogy, the box office of the entire three movies combined failed to break 100 million!
As for the Armor movie......
Forget it!
Speaking of this series of movies, Ao Fei himself doesn't want to mention it.
Spicy is a real loss!
Emperor Xia, the theatrical version produced by Ao Fei with a lot of financial resources and energy, finally lost the collective self-isolation of the whole company.
The follow-up Yatales performed slightly better, but it was only slightly better, and it was still far from making money.
The reputation of the king is declining, and the box office is as bleak as ever.
Tokusatsu movies are not easy to do!
Make an adult to please the public passers-by, but it deviates from the fan tendency, fans of TV dramas will not buy it, and passers-by fans will not buy it in view of the "sub-supply" impression left by TV dramas.
Make a sub-supply?
Fans are still not satisfied, the theatrical version is done like a TV drama, don't watch a good free TV drama, buy a ticket to the cinema to watch an extended version of the TV drama?
If you don't even watch it, passers-by will watch it?
Speaking of which, it's still the stereotype that kills these special effects movies.
As soon as many people see movie prefixes such as "Ultraman", "Kamen Rider", and "Armored Warrior", they subconsciously label this movie as a "sub-supply" and then ignore it.
This is also Yan Tao's trouble.
He didn't know how to solve this problem, so he could only think differently, hanging the name of a TV drama, but filming a plot that had nothing to do with the TV drama.
Fans are not satisfied, he doesn't know.
Anyway, after the finished film was made, when a small screening was held in-house, everyone was satisfied.
That's enough!
Yan Tao is a smart director, this is his first time making a movie, and he treats himself very carefully.
With a budget of 35 million, he was stunned to shoot a blockbuster of 100 million yuan.
The money is all spent on special effects!
Not to mention, although the story is relatively thin and boring, the special effects are good-looking!
Spicy is really good-looking!
Wearing 3D glasses, the visual impact is so shocking that the audience will definitely be interested in the yo-yo that appears in the film after watching it.
Just be interested!
If the box office really hits the streets, it will be able to recover blood through peripheral derivatives.
Of course, it would be better if the box office could pay off.
......
Golden Week is coming, and major theaters across the country have ushered in a wave of peak passenger flow.
Holidays are a rare peak season!
During this year's Golden Week, a total of seven films were released.
The theater arranged posters early and stood in the most conspicuous position for the audience to choose the film they wanted to see.
Four of these films stand out!
They are "Fire Boy King: The Origin of the Divine Soldier", "Wind Shadow", "One Life Is Too Long", and "Jue Chicken"!
It's all made with belts!
Although the director of firepower is a newcomer, the producer is famous!
"Pengda's Ambition" is worth looking forward to!
Fengying is a spy war drama, coinciding with the 11th Golden Week, and Director Ge is also a well-known director, so the box office will not be too bad.
It's a new film directed by Yang for too long, and this "master of love" has picked up the familiar love theme after a wave, and the box office may explode!
Jue Chicken is the most eye-catching!
This movie is directed by a popular star writer and adapted from the best-selling book under his name, with many fans and readers, just looking at the name, you know that the box office is at least one billion!
With so many big productions being released together, limited by factors such as film scheduling and the total number of large markets, some people must be crying and some laughing.
So who is crying and who is laughing?
Anyway, Meng Lang was already crying.
He only got 10% of the films, and even if the explosion rises, the box office can't catch up with the 37.5% of the films.
It's not just the Jue Chicken, I'm afraid even the Wind Shadow can't beat it for too long.
"Wind Shadow" is limited by the subject matter, and the number of films scheduled is not destined to be high, but Director Ge's face is worth it!
As a result, 15% of the wind shadow film schedule is slightly better than the firepower movie.
And then there's "One Life Too Long"!
The theater side is extremely optimistic about this movie, and Director Yang has proved his strength in this subject with a number of successful works, and the number of films is second only to Jue Ji, with 23% ranking second.
The remaining three new films are painful.
Together, they only account for 10% of the film schedule, which is barely about the same as the fourth-place firepower movie.
Even the new films that have just been released are so miserable, not to mention the old movies that have not yet been released.
A total of 5 movies that have not yet been released will share 4.5% of the film schedule!
Tragic!
Just when everyone scolded Jue Chicken for being too domineering and not giving him a way to live, the first day of Golden Week arrived!
People who are rarely relaxed after the holiday choose to watch a movie to relieve the work pressure that they usually accumulate.
The same goes for the Panda family.
