081 The Story of Time

On the Internet, the conspiracy theory that Wei Xun may be persecuted by Skylight Media is still very fierce.

After Wei Xun himself made a simple response, he chose to enter the group "Chinese Partner" in a low-key manner.

In the face of the media, he has explained very clearly that this matter is a misunderstanding, and as for whether others believe it or not, it is someone else's business.

Mao Bin was driving, and at the same time thinking about this month's itinerary: "Brother Xun, today is the No. 1, 20 days later, we will have a lawsuit with Tianguang Media, do you plan to stay in the crew of "Chinese Partner" all the time?"

Because he was jointly banned by Tianguang Media and Dynasty Entertainment, Wei Xun currently has no other resources except filming.

As Wei Xun's agent, Mao Bin is naturally idle, and even Wei Xun has been following Wei Xun when he enters the group to film.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the month, the first batch of income from the two songs "Young and Promising" and "The Devil from Heaven" arrived.

Some time ago, Wei Xun also filmed two endorsements of Guanchi Group, so after deducting the expenses of repaying the debts every month, although he is not rich in funds at present, it is barely enough.

"On the side of "Chinese Partner", let's delay it a little, on the 3rd, I will go to "Sound Immersion" to help Wen Tao record a pilot film. This month's confrontation with Tianguang cannot be stopped, because it is directly related to the victory or loss of the next lawsuit. ”

Wei Xun said: "Let the wind on the Internet slow down first, since it has begun to warm up, it is necessary to completely stir up the heat, and then find an opportunity to amplify the move." ”

Mao Bin smacked his tongue when he heard this: "Today's is not a big move?"

In the past few months, every time Wei Xun pits people, Mao Bin is the only witness.

In his opinion, Brother Xun's methods of pit people are really more and more sassy every time.

Wei Xun glanced over when he heard this.

Mao Bin smiled wryly, and just happened to be in front of the crew of "Chinese Partner", so he hurriedly found a place to park.

Not surprisingly, there were also a large number of reporters outside the crew, all of whom were squatting on Wei Xun.

This time Wei Xun did not accept an interview, Shao Bing heard that he had arrived, and beckoned the crew to help cover up, and finally successfully got rid of this group of murderous media people.

When he entered the crew, Jiang Duzhou also came over, with a concerned expression: "How is it, are you okay?"

Wei Xun smiled: "It's okay, don't listen to the rumors outside, I'm fine." ”

"It's okay, I was muttering to Lao Jiang just now, but I'm looking forward to you. Shao Bing grabbed Wei Xun's shoulders and walked to the crew, saying, "Let's go, let's go and see how we filmed first, and if we can satisfy you." ”

This month, Wei Xun was not there, Shao Bing took the shots of himself and Jiang Duzhou, and the shots of Wei Xun were empty.

But Wei Xun is the male protagonist, and the story of "Chinese Partner" is still a story of three men, and many shots can't completely leave Wei Xun alone.

Hearing Shao Bing's words, Wei Xun said strangely: "I'm not unclear about your level, do you still need me to keep an eye on it?"

"Xunxun, you don't know how much pressure Lao Shao has been on lately. At that time, on the set of "Wu Wen Xidong", you signed a guarantee agreement of 100 million yuan with Mr. Hu, and in other words, "Chinese Partner" will make Times Pictures net 50 million. ”

Jiang Duzhou said next to him: "Times Pictures invested 10 million to come in, and if you want to take 50 million, it means that the final box office of "Chinese Partner" cannot be less than 450 million. ”

After the box office of a movie is released, a small part of the tax must be paid first, then half will be given to the theater side, and another part will be distributed to the distributor, and finally it will be regarded as the net profit earned by the film investor.

For example, if a movie has a box office of 100 million, then after all parties divide the accounts, the investor should get about 33 percent, that is, 33 million.

"Chinese Partner" invested 30 million, Chi Tang, Wei Xun and Times Pictures each invested 10 million, and wanted all three parties to get a profit of 50 million, as Jiang Duzhou said, the total box office could not be less than 450 million.

It's no wonder that Shao Bing is under pressure.

You must know that the film directed by Shao Bing has not exceeded 300 million at the highest box office, and this year's "Forensic Chronicle" directed by him invested more than 20 million yuan, and the final box office revenue was 130 million, which is currently the ninth in the box office of local films in China this year, which has made Times Pictures very satisfied.

Including this year, the creator of the highest box office record for local Chinese films is the disaster movie "After the Earthquake" starring Bai Qianqi, the first brother of Dynasty Entertainment, with a box office revenue of 695 million.

Sadly, at the beginning of this year, a technological innovation film sci-fi masterpiece from Hollywood, the 3D blockbuster "Blue Man" played on the I-MAX screen, collected 2.78 billion US dollars worldwide and 1.32 billion yuan in the Chinese film market!

The gap is simply overwhelming.

As a time-traveler, Wei Xun knows that not only in this time and space, but also in his original world, in this time period of 2010, the Chinese box office is equally miserable.

However, it is precisely because of the impact of Hollywood blockbusters and the introduction of technological innovation that the Chinese film market has been impacted, and it has also taken the fast track of rapid progress.

The number of cinemas across the country has grown at a rate visible to the naked eye, using the latest i-max screen technology, making the land of China a box office granary that cannot be ignored in the world.

In that world, around 2010, the annual box office champion of the movie was less than 700 million.

But in the two years after 2010, the box office of Chinese movies doubled wildly, and in 2012, in just two years, the annual box office crown can explode more than a billion box office.

Then in the next five or six years, the annual box office crown will increase from more than one billion, to more than 200 million, more than 300 million, and finally even break through 5 billion!

Let's not talk about what it will look like in the future, but in this time and space this year, i-max screen technology has just been passed from Hollywood, and "Blue Man" has harvested 1.3 billion box office in China in one go, which initially detonated this market.

As long as it is properly promoted, "Chinese Partner" can get enough box office.

This is also the reason why Wei Xun dares to gamble!

Because propaganda needs to be realized by traffic, and Wei Xun has caused a storm on the Internet in the past two months, which one is not a terrifying traffic attention?

Of course, pure traffic is not enough, and if you want to have a better publicity effect, you must learn to monetize traffic.

Let's talk about the crew.

Shao Bing pulled out the recent film, gave Wei Xun a brief look, and then asked, "How is it, does it meet your expectations?"

To be honest, "Chinese Partner" is a nostalgic film, and Shao Bing has no pressure at all to direct.

And Shao Bing and Jiang Duzhou's acting skills are even more stressful.

The film was very well shot.

After Wei Xun finished watching it, he said with a smile: "The finished film has a very good effect, I am going to fight a lawsuit with Tianguang Media this month, and the movement will definitely not be small at that time, we will take the opportunity to add "Wuwen Xidong" and "Chinese Partner" to the promotion." ”

Shao Bing frowned and asked, "How to publicize it?"

"I have too many things to do this month, and I can't focus on filming, so in the last two days, I have been shooting some fragmentary shots in the crew, cutting them together with your shots, and then producing a short MV video, just a few minutes, and it doesn't require much technical content. ”

Wei Xun thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give the MV a song, and let's sing it together." ”

In the film and television industry, it is not surprising that there are many precedents for song warm-ups to drive movie box office or TV series ratings.

And Wei Xun has also written two hit songs before, "Young and Promising" and "The Devil from Heaven".

But...... Writing a song that three people sing together feels outrageous no matter how you listen to it.

Jiang Duzhou and Shao Bing glanced at each other, and they both felt speechless, but they still asked, "What song?"

Wei Xun smiled: "The name of this song is called, "The Story of Time". ”
