Chapter 551: Box Office

On the first day of the release, the Havoc Tiangong reported 560 million. Counting the box office revenue of the zero point field, it can be said that it will collect 600 million yuan a day.

What's even worse is that the reputation is quite good, and the follow-up box office income can be roughly estimated, this Dragon Scale Pictures is really going to achieve the feat of earning 20 billion yuan from four films, and the media naturally reported on this.

Time.com: Director Lu Lin's new film "Havoc in Heaven" received 627 million on the first day, and was well received by the audience, and the cumulative box office is expected to surpass "Wolf Warrior 2" and become the champion of the Chinese box office.

Penguin Entertainment wrote: From the success of "Havoc in Heaven", we can see the adaptation of film and television works.

The review mainly expounds the relationship between the adaptation of film and television works and the audience's viewing expectations, that is, the key to success lies in whether what the audience wants to see matches what the director made. The vast majority of audiences go to the theater to watch "Havoc in Heaven", and the movie is expected to be the original story. If you can follow the original work on the basis of a little new ideas, with excellent special effects, there is no reason not to succeed.

Xinghao's version of "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" was changed randomly, and the special effects were not particularly outstanding, so failure was a matter of course.

As soon as the Longlin version of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" was successful, the Xinghao version and "The Legend of Wukong" became the objects of comparison and trampling by the media.

As for the general audience, a large number of "tap water" has emerged to promote "Havoc in Heaven" on social media on WeChat and Weibo.

On the 16th, "Havoc in Heaven" reported a revenue of 613 million, which is the first time that a Chinese film has exceeded 600 million in a single day in a real sense. By the 17th, a total of 540 million was won, and 1.78 billion was won in the first three days of the weekend, which was converted into 260 million dollars.

Such a result has surpassed the three-day box office record of the first weekend in North America, and the 207.4 million of "Avengers 1" has become a veritable global box office champion in the first weekend. For a while, the rumor that the Chinese film market was about to surpass North America was rampant.

What's even more exciting is that CCTV's "News Network" reported the news of the box office explosion of "Havoc in Heaven" on the first weekend, which has attracted heated discussions among countless audiences, and other film companies are envious and jealous.

After reading the news about "Havoc in Heaven", Yu Dong was already quite numb. After all, Longlin Pictures has released four blockbusters this year, "The Wandering Earth", "Lich War", "Wolf Warrior 2", plus now "Havoc in Heaven", the four films have won 20 billion box office, which has basically become a sure thing.

Not counting overseas, the account-sharing income of the domestic box office alone, Longlin Pictures has an income of about 7 billion. And the cost of these movies can probably be 3 billion, and the domestic box office alone has almost a profit of more than 3 billion, and if you count overseas, you can't think of it!

If he took "The Return of the Great Sage" to Bo Na to seek distribution, he paid a lot of money to sign it, or he wanted to buy a share in Longlin Pictures with a dead face, and now I am afraid that he will make a lot of money.

Thinking of this, he was a little envious of Song Ge. Although this is only a small shareholder in Longlin Pictures, it is said that after the integration of multiple branches, the shares of the entire Longlin Group Company are less than 10%, but he can't stand the development of Longlin Pictures too well, and his current net worth is more than that of him, a major shareholder of Bona. If Longlin Pictures goes public, I'm afraid he won't be able to compare!

Thinking of going public, Yu Dong's heart moved, and he hurriedly took out his mobile phone to dial Lu Lin's phone, and after saying a few words of congratulations, he asked Lu Lin if he had any plans to list the company recently. Lu Lin hurriedly said no, Yu Dong regretted for a while, and hung up the phone.

Lu Lin, on his side, discussed with Song Ge about the listing plan and equity incentive plan. It's not that he deliberately deceived Yu Dong, it's really that Longlin Pictures has developed too well in recent years, and the movies it has made have all made a lot of profits, and its TV series, variety shows, and artist brokerage business have also brought a lot of profits to the company.

In the film and television industry, many film companies with average profits have been listed on the GEM, and a profit level like Longlin Pictures is simply a piece of Tang monk meat.

Although Lu Lin has repeatedly rejected the proposals of some investment companies to buy shares and some securities companies to help issue shares, there are still people who are not dead, and they talked about these things within a few words after seeing him.

After all, in the eyes of many business tycoons, being a company, going public to make money, and cashing out at a high level are all supporting things! There are a few awesome companies in China that do not go public to make money! Lu Lin's insistence on not going public must be waiting for a suitable opportunity.

Now that there are four blockbusters in a year, in the eyes of many people, this is the best time. At this moment, there are all kinds of news circulating in the market, and Lu Lin also revealed a little news here, so the door of Longlin Pictures will immediately be crowded by the crowd. This matter can only be discussed secretly with Song Ge, and no wind can penetrate at all.

"Fat Di, Li Ying, and Han Dongjun have signed contracts with the company for many years, and they haven't set up their own doors, it's time to reward them, and let them buy a certain number of shares at the price of the original shares......" Lu Lin stared at the listing plan formulated by Song Ge, and suddenly said something.

Song Ge said in his heart: "With such a Tang monk as you, how can they be willing to leave!" but said: "Okay, I'll come up with a plan for you when I go back." To be honest, many old people in the company were here when they were established, and they have been looking forward to this day!"

Lu Lin smiled when he heard this, but did not speak. Longlin Pictures does have a lot of old employees, and they have been working until now after they came in. Fantasizing that one day you can buy the original shares is one thing, and the other is that Longlin Pictures is developing too fast, with good treatment and many opportunities.

In the entire Longlin Films, although Lu Lin's special effects blockbusters are the main force to make money, the income of other low-cost films, TV dramas, variety shows, and artist brokerage business is also in a leading position compared with other companies in the industry.

In addition, Longlin Pictures has abundant cash flow, and there have been a lot of various investments in recent years, but these are all taken care of by the senior management team headed by Song Ge, and Lu Lin doesn't care much.

Lu Lin continued to read the plan, but unexpectedly, the mobile phone rang again, and when he picked it up, it was still Yu Dong. Lu Lin smiled and said, "This old Yu, you won't want to tell me about investing in shares again!"

Song Ge said: "Nine times out of ten!"

The phone was connected, and Yu Dong's hearty laughter came from there, and he said, "I said Director Lu, do you have any arrangements for the evening, if not, let's have a drink and get together for a while." ”

There are many media who want to interview him, but most of them have been pushed away by Lu Lin, and there is really no arrangement tonight. Thinking about the fact that he was looking for distribution with the master tape of "The Return of the Great Sage", it was Yu Dong who signed the agency distribution with his unique vision, and also gambled on the general advance of 100 million yuan for publicity. If there were no publicity and distribution costs against the sky, how could there be the amazing box office of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Although there have been a lot of repayments in recent years, after all, he initially inherited Yu Dong's favor, so he said: "Cheng, then drink better!"
