Chapter 278: Box Office Gains
Huaxia, Wanda Cinema, "The Night the Comet Comed" was released.
People flocked to the city, and the cinema was packed.
Then, the film begins with a golden dragon, a standard review mark, followed by a message from the film's producer.
Producer: Hongchen Studio
Director: Yan Chi, Hong Chen
Producer: Hong Chen
Screenwriter: Azure
Starring: Hong Chenshang Yuyan
As soon as this information came out, the audience unconsciously felt their blood boiling.
They know that this movie has a good reputation in Europe and the United States, and now when they see the title, they naturally feel very proud.
Because the producer is a Huaxia film and television company, the director is a director of Huaxia, and the screenwriter is also a Chinese.
This is the movie produced by Huaxia.
After that, the plot began, and people were naturally attracted to the plot.
Because it is a suspenseful and thriller theme, many girls are very scared, and they can't help but lean on the boy when watching the movie, which can be regarded as contributing to a lot of good relationships.
After the movie ended, everyone was naturally shocked by the plot of the movie.
All of a sudden, analysis posts about this movie appeared on the Internet, all kinds of gods are analyzing, and suspense fans are even talking about things from parallel world science popularization to time and space.
On Douyin, a large number of movie commentary accounts explained this movie in three paragraphs, and received countless praises.
Not only that, but many other overseas countries have begun to introduce this movie.
The introduction of the film was handed over to the studio, and Ge Chen was busy at the moment.
"German, who knows German? It's a German film and television company! Won't they find someone who can speak Chinese or English?" Ge Chen took the phone and said very helplessly.
"Sister Chen, there is also a phone call from Italy, I don't understand. The company's assistant also wanted to cry without tears.
This is a minority, and most countries choose people who can speak English or Chinese to negotiate.
Ge Chen now found that it was time for the company to expand a division abroad.
Now this movie is the focus of the company, it can only be said that the boss is the boss, and the income of Hong Chen's work may exceed the total income of all the artists under the studio in a year.
Even Ge Chen was stunned by the benefits brought by Hong Chen.
You know, the investment in this movie is only one million dollars!
Ge Chen was still surprised after knowing this figure at that time, and asked several times, because the company was not short of this money, and it was Yan Chi and Hong Chen who made a movie, so he must have done his best to invest.
As a result, Yan Chi said that one million was more than enough.
Now, the box office of this movie is unexpectedly high, and the money earned is probably at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
That's more than a hundredfold!
This terrible ability to make money, Hong Chen is simply a walking money printing machine!
In fact, after investing in "The Wandering Earth" last year, the company's capital turnover has been somewhat difficult, and there are still many investments that have not been effective so quickly, and the cultivation and cultivation of artists also need to spend money constantly.
Now that this movie is a big hit, the company is immediately alive again.
The final box office of "The Night the Comet Commet" was $240 million in the United States.
It is already a very exaggerated that a niche theme and a small-budget movie can have this box office! Not to mention that this movie is still a movie directed and starring by Chinese people.
You must know that so far, the highest box office of Chinese films abroad is "Hero", with a North American box office of 53.71 million yuan.
In fact, now Chinese films are facing a big dilemma. That is, the box office is very high in China, but it just can't get out.
For example, the box office champion "Wolf Warrior 2" last year won $2.72 million at the box office in North America, and the previous Spring Festival champion "Mermaid" won $3.23 million at the box office.
There is also a more exaggerated one, that is, the famous "Su Jinyun, what do you owe me to pay back" movie - "To Youth 2", which was released in the cold country for two days, with only five audiences, and the box office was only 13,000 won, equivalent to about 79 yuan in Huaxia.
Therefore, now Hong Chen's movies can reach 210 million US dollars, which has broken the overseas record of Chinese films.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Hong Chen initially aimed at overseas markets.
The account sharing system of the exhibitor and distributor in the United States adopts a flexible system of weekly adjustment.
It is to exclude the related screening costs, including venue fees, labor costs, maintenance costs, etc., and distribute them in different proportions every week.
For example, in the first week, the distributor gets 90%, and the exhibitor only gets 10%. In the second week, the issuer takes 80%, and so on.
The situation is different in each film, and it is the result of the negotiations. The contract between Hill Film and the exhibitor finally got about 55% of the box office, that is, $130 million.
According to the eighty-two division, Hong Chen's side got $104 million, and Hill Pictures got $26 million.
If you remove the $10 million cost of publicity, Hong Chen made almost $94 million.
This refers to the box office of the United States, and Hong Chen's box office in China is completely his own. The total box office of Chinese movies is 1.1 billion, and the 4.5 achievement is 495 million Chinese coins.
Coupled with other box office sales, this movie made a lot of money for Hong Chen.
Hong Chen was still in the town during this time, and he Yanchi was preparing for the shooting of the next movie.
The preparation of film and television works is often much longer than the time taken to shoot.
For example, in "Comet", the filming time is very short, because Yan Chi spent a lot of time preparing props, setting up scenes, and so on in the early stage.
The same goes for Fatal ID.
Moreover, in a few days, Hong Chen will go to shoot Hollywood's big-budget movie "Fast and Furious 6", and then he will shoot "Fatal ID".
"This movie has made so much money, are there any new ideas?" In the villa, Yan Chi asked Hong Chen.
"At the beginning of next year, when the box office of "The Wandering Earth" comes out, I plan to officially establish the studio as a film industry. Hong Chen had a plan in his heart and said with a smile.
Now that he has plenty of money, his confidence and ambition are naturally rising.
Yan Chi seemed to expect this, because if it was just a studio, it would not be as good as Hong Chen's current status.
"Haha, you will also be a big guy in the future, it seems that I am going to hug my thighs. Yan Chi laughed.
Hearing this, Hong Chen also smiled indifferently.
The establishment of the film industry is just the beginning, and he will have a bigger stage in the future.
"I'm going to the Fast & Furious 6 crew in a few days, and I'll talk about it when I get back. Hong Chen's voice was a little deep.
Although he is now a big match for the Fast and Furious series and has the work "Comet", he knows that he still has not established himself in North America.
Especially in Hollywood, he can only be a marginal figure now.
"Fast and Furious" series, he did well, but he was only polishing the movie. As for "Comet", people pay more attention to the plot design of the script than to him.
Therefore, Hong Chen lacks works that can become famous in one fight.
He also needs to continue to build his foundation in Hollywood.
It's just that if Chinese people want to mix up in Hollywood, they will face very big resistance.
So far, Hong Chen has not received an appointment for the starring role or important role in a Hollywood blockbuster, so it can be seen that he still needs to continue to work hard.
Hollywood alone has at least dozens of international movie stars, and these people have countless fans around the world, and Hong Chen's status is still insufficient compared to them.
"Fast and Furious is very good, and if you can win the lead actor or villain of a big production next, that's the best. It can make you a real global movie star in an instant. Yan Chi thought for a moment and said.
Movies with niche themes have limited influence, and if they want to gain high popularity, they have to rely on top Hollywood productions.
Of course, Hong Chen knew this, and in fact, he was also looking for such an opportunity.
Find a character that will drive fans around the world crazy.
