Chapter 264: Trivia (5/6)

(Push this book, "Double Harmony of the World"...) Can't I be pit alone!)

"Wait a minute, I'm a little messy..."

80 million investment, 200 million box office...

Do charity?

80 million to make a movie, at least 240 million to return to the cost...

People only need 200 million box office?

"He said I just need to give him 60 million!"

Boss Lu thought about it for a while and understood: "... Money laundering?"

β€œ... It should be!"

"Let's not make this money, if you really want to make money, you can invest tens of millions to buy Tencent's stocks! Or invest in ByteDance with me..."

β€œ... I also want to make a movie to try..."

"Are you still looking for a new plug?"

β€œ... Hmph!"

"Listen to me, let's respect the movie a little bit..."

"Am I disrespecting cinema as a director?"

How do you say this...

Not beat around the bush?

Director Lu thought for a while, and then said, "In this way, you tell me what type of movie you want to make first?"

"I didn't think about it..."

"You haven't even thought about the subject, and you dare to take money?"

β€œ... I didn't confiscate the money, I just said someone wanted to send me money to spend!"

"I'm just reminding you that as long as our industry is famous, there will be many opportunities to make money, but some money really can't be made!"

β€œ... Got it!"

Sugar Candy shut up and never mention the director's thing again...

......

Fan movies are not normal.

Because it's really the fans!

It can also be seen from the box office decline of "Little Times", the income in 4 days was 152 million yuan, and on the fifth day, the single-day box office was only 9.8 million, and the total box office exceeded 200 million in ten days after its release...

This drop is really a bit exaggerated!

Falling off a cliff.

The trend of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is very good, even if it remains at 16 million in a single day after the Chinese Valentine's Day, of course, it is not a box office hit, but for a costume martial arts, it is already very good!

Ten days after its release, the total box office was 366 million, which has long surpassed "Little Times"...

It's really a bit of a lot of movies that have been released recently, "One Night Surprise", "Palace", and "Fierce Wars", all of which are movies with good looks.

"Embroidered Spring Knife", the worst thing is that it has a good reputation, but it is only good, not to the extent of crushing!

"One Night Surprise" focuses on Fan Xiaoye, and "Palace" has Little Yellow Duck + Zhao Liying...

"Guild Wars", word-of-mouth thieves are good...

Let's put it this way, if it weren't for Lu Xiaoran's blessing, "Embroidered Spring Knife" would only sell for 100 million at most in such a schedule!

"Around the Sky and the Ocean" also dominates the film schedule...

The box office exceeded 300 million, and the series was launched.

......

On the set of "Gravity", the simulation of weightlessness is being filmed.

Simulating weightlessness is difficult to shoot because there is no tension between the muscles in zero gravity.

Lu Xiaoran has no experience, but Alfonso CuarΓ³n knows how to do it!

Hollywood has been studying science fiction for a long time.

One of the most classic methods should be Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", in a circular room, a camera is fixed, and then the actor is asked to run, and the camera records the image as if the actor is running along the house.

Of course, this method can only express a few shots, and it does not solve the problem of weightlessness of objects other than people.

The weightless analog footage of "Apollo 11" is a classic in film history!

It was done inside NASA's training facility, the Comet Vomit...

Not everyone can rent and use NASS equipment.

Therefore, Alfonso CuarΓ³n suggested hanging Sugar Candy and Liao Fu directly on a device and then manipulating them like puppets to create a zero-gravity effect.

The stuntman hung her up with four robotic arms, each with three different induction wires attached.

It's basically a triangle that the stuntman can control by shaking and swinging...

Try not to move them. Try to leave the action to the camera and let the camera move around them.

This simulates weightlessness!

From the end of July to the beginning of September, Lu Xiaoran led the crew to be busy shooting, except for a two-day rest after the long shot shooting, the crew had no holidays at all during the filming for most of the month.

I thought that the special effects team and camera team from Hollywood would protest...

Twice the salary and you're done!

Fortunately, the crew doesn't have to run around, all the filming will be done in the studio, with Liao Fu's departure...

The crew only had one actor left, Sugar Candy.

Every day, more than 500 people revolve around her, playing with tens of millions of dollars of equipment...

Lu Xiaoran thinks she should be very happy!

Anyway, Director Lu is very cool...

And then Zhang came in...

Said the news of the union of Maoyan and Guevara.

Oh, and Maoyan and Guevara are both online ticketing platforms.

......

At the beginning of 2013, online ticketing platforms entered the official era of burning money.

Maoyan, Yupiaoer, Guevara, Taopiaopiao, Baidu Nuomi, including Time.com, Douban, Blockbuster.com, and even the theater's own online ticketing platform.

Of course, these ticket-buying platforms are barely tied with Orange - Orange Ticketing has a market share of 48%!

Orange Ticketing is blessed with Orange Image!

Each film will be jointly distributed, and the film source is directly monopolized with tens of millions of yuan in ticket compensation, and an agreement is signed with the theater that it is not allowed to be sold to a third party.

Monopolize!

Orange's movie is a blockbuster, which has driven Orange Ticketing to occupy the market!

However, Cat's Eye + Guevara is close to 30 percent of the market share...

Like a great enemy!

"Guevara has a layout in first-tier cities, Maoyan has a layout in third- and fourth-tier small cities, and their merger is too much of a threat to us!"

β€œ... So what?"

"We should also acquire one!"

Zhang Jin continued: "According to the 7:2:1 pattern of the Internet, we must be the first to grab 7 percent, so that we can be considered the leader!"

β€œ... You don't want oranges to be a box office hit, do you?"

"Why not?"

β€œ... Well, I've always wanted to spin off the ticketing business, but you've got to find the right executive director. ”

"I've found it, Brother Song!"

"Old Song, isn't he doing a theater?"

"Leave the cinema to Yao Xiaofeng, he was originally the person in charge of the Orange Sky Golden Harvest Cinema..."

"Okay, you look at the arrangement. Lu Xiaoran doesn't particularly care, no matter how much he tosses, he also has 30% of the equity of Orange Ticketing.

"By the way, the number of downloads of our "Jinyiwei" exceeded 50 million a month!"

β€œ... Isn't that a good score?"

"You let Li Huangtu tell you!"

Director Lu frowned, but still asked his assistant to take his mobile phone, and called Li Huangtu himself...

The other side is very excited, saying that the monthly turnover is more than 200 million...

"You just said that this game is a success?"

β€œ...... Of course, the number of people online at the same time exceeds 100,000 a month, do you know what the concept is?"

I know a...
