Chapter 35: Fame (part 3 of 6)
(My mom read your comment and asked me what water means, how do I explain it?)
Orange Ticket Statistics: As of November 5, "Gravity" was released in North America for 20 days, with a box office of $167 million, and it was the North American box office champion for 20 consecutive days;
Overseas, the rest of the country added almost $240 million;
Excluding China, the box office of "Gravity" has reached $417 million, what is the result of China?
In 15 days of release, the cumulative box office was 1.86 billion, which failed to break the record of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", but the box office trend was better than "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"!
Now it's $690 million at the box office...
Ranked among the top eight grossing of the year, second only to "Transformers 4: Extinction Reborn" with 1.0874 billion, "Guardians of the Galaxy" with 772.7 million, "Maleficent" with 757.8 million, "X-Men: Days of Future Past" with 748.1 million, "Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier" with 714.1 million, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" with 709 million, and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2: Dawn of War" with 708.8 million...
Of course, "The Hobbit 3", "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay", "Interstellar" have not yet been released...
The problem is that "Gravity" is still in theaters, and according to Orange's prediction, the final box office in the mainland will reach at least 2.5 billion, and the global box office is likely to exceed 800 million US dollars!
I imagined that I was in the top 100 at the global box office, and now I am directly in the top 50!
This is the first time in Asian film history!
After the news was announced, Orange's stock price skyrocketed, needless to say...
Domestic producers are crazy, a bunch of space-related themes have been established, and China Film has also planned "Made in Tiangong" and invited Han Han to be the director...
You see, their logic is not "spend more money on the awesome production team", but "it turns out that the science fiction and space themes are so easy to make money, let's invite traffic to shoot a similar theme!"
The most unexpected thing is that with the help of the success of "Gravity", Inji Media frantically hyped the concept of "Sino-US co-production", and the stock price once reached 60 billion...
Alas...
Sorrowful...
Lu Xiaoran made herself a pot of tea and carefully read the market report...
While silently complaining...
A few minutes later, Zhong Lifang walked in and said that it was better than the producer's investment in space.
"Space themes can't be effective if you don't spend money, and it's not that you can do it by strictly abiding by industrialization, I'm not very optimistic about what space themes are doing now, you should know, how much risk I took to do "Gravity", right?"
“… yes, four years to make a movie..."
"Is it true that you said before that restricting the flow of funds to the film and television industry?"
“… The entertainment industry is full of miasma, and management will definitely be strengthened. ”
Film and television projects have the characteristics of short cycle and high profitability, and have become a sweet spot for capital. But when too much hot money pours in, what pushes up is the staggering appearance fee of the head actors, and the impetuous heart that no longer makes content in a down-to-earth manner.
How staggering?
After "Gravity", Tangtang's salary was $6 million - this is based on "Gravity"!
To explain, she signed an account-sharing contract with "Gravity", a guaranteed salary of 500,000 yuan, and 5% of global income...
Now the specific box office has not come out, but it can be roughly estimated that the North American box office share is about 120 million, the mainland account is close to 150 million US dollars, and the rest of the world combined, close to 100 million US dollars...
After deducting the production cost of 150 million and the publicity cost of 80 million, the box office profit was 140 million US dollars, and the income of Tangtang was 7 million US dollars...
It doesn't seem like much, but this is only the first box office account, and there will be a copyright account in the follow-up, which will not be much less than the box office account...
A drama with a net income of $14 million can't run...
Looks like a lot, right?
But this thing took half a year of training, four months of waiting, two months of shooting...
A year was spent on it!
It's not as good as Xiao Xianrou taking on a TV series in three months!
Now there is an IP drama with a price of 60 million to invite her to star - a three-month filming period...
The money came too fast!
It's not normal...
Nima, it's far away again, no wonder you scold me for water...
Back to the topic, Zhong Lifang hurriedly asked, "Then when do you think you will make a move?"
"I don't know, it's only been a few years, by the way, you issued an announcement in the name of MPAC, 'ban bad deeds', and communicate with Guangguang, Bona, and China Film..."
"Suppression order?"
"Lao Tong told me, let's send it first, and when the public opinion is almost over, it will be issued later..."
Zhong Lifang glanced at Lu Xiaoran, and then asked, "In what name are we going to do?"
"In the name of the Film Producers Association, let the other five all stamp the official seal, this is the first shot of the MPAC!"
……
In the afternoon of the same day, the first hot search on Weibo was the 'ban order': the six major producers jointly banned bad actors!
"As a leader in the industry, we must play a role in industry self-discipline..."
It's an announcement when I clicked on it.,That's probably the content...
Some people applauded, some people said hot spots...
This year is a bit excessive, it can be described as a "year of celebrities gathering to suck". There have been singers Li Daimo, screenwriter Ning Caishen, etc., but they are about to be arrested, and after they come out, they pretend to say that they don't regret it...
Public opinion is hot!
More people are discussing what this MPAC is, and Du Niang Encyclopedia gives an explanation: The Motion Picture Association of China, China Film Association.
Then the list of six producers was discussed, no Huayi, no Wanda...
Then why are you called the China Film Association?
Well, this is an association that Lu Xiaoran started from scratch, and he doesn't play with people in the Beijing circle!
Just when a bunch of people were discussing, the General Administration issued a ban, which was even more ruthless than the MPAC announced - movies, TV shows, online dramas, micro-movies, etc. produced by bad actors were required to suspend the broadcast!
Directly cut off the back road!
There was an uproar...
A lot of people say 'give them a chance'...
But more people have noticed this MPAC...
What kind of organization is this?
Why did the General Administration make a public statement before it made a move?
Huang Zhongjun contacted his 'good friend' Ma Yun as soon as possible to inquire about this China Film Association...
The result was the same as he thought, it was another organization in Huayi and the Beijing circle...
Cool heart...
Can I join? Learn from Durant - if I can't beat it, I'll join!
No, every company has a veto, and by joining this organization, you're not convinced by convincing the other five...
Heart congestion...
People are only set up for you, do you think it will let you join?
Otherwise, I'll also form an organization to fight against this MPAC?
just pulled Wanda, and estimated that Lao Wang was also very angry, so he didn't take him to play!
I don't know if Lao Wang is angry, anyway, public opinion on the Internet began to turn into scolding China Film and "Gravity" - why not let "Interstellar" be released at the same time?
You're just trying to give "Gravity" more time to schedule films, aren't you?
We're going to see Nolan!
