Chapter 751 Dividends
With the box office of "The Mermaid" becoming popular all the way, the company that had participated in the Xinghui company's film viewing party before but did not make a move in the end, not to mention that the glasses were shattered, but they were all regretful.
By this time, even laymen who don't understand the film and television media industry at all can see very clearly that it is a sure fact that "The Mermaid" has created a new domestic film box office record.
…… The only suspense is whether "Mermaid" can surpass the box office record of "Fast and Furious 7", and how many numbers it can raise the box office record of mainland films.
Not only that, but the Spring Festival market in the entire mainland is like chicken blood, and the popularity is amazingly high.
The box office result of 3.6 billion yuan in seven days not only refreshed the single-week box office record of the Spring Festival stalls, but even created the highest single-week box office record in the world.
The original box office record occurred last year when Star Wars Episode 7 - The Force Awakens was released.
Although the income in the Celestial Empire is mediocre, the IP of "Star Wars" is a real national film in North America.
Since Di Baobao acquired Lucasfilm and obtained the copyright of "Star Wars", with the help of Di Baobao's influence in the world, almost every action of the IP of "Star Wars" can cause a lot of repercussions in the North American film market. This also led to the fact that when "Star Wars 7 - The Force Awakens" appeared on the big screen again after many years, North American audiences burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm for watching movies, and swiped a box office of 529 million US dollars in a single week, but I didn't expect this record to be broken by the Spring Festival schedule of the Celestial Empire even for two months.
Industry insiders are jubilant, and they all believe that Chinese films are about to usher in a golden age.
In this case, "Mermaid", which is the only Spring Festival file, will naturally attract much attention.
…… Almost all the details related to it have been dug up.
The first thing is how much money Zhou Xinchi can make from this movie.
…… Then, everyone found out that Xinghui Company could not accurately grasp the box office trend of the Spring Festival stalls, and had sold out the movie "Mermaid" to another company at a guaranteed release price of 1.8 billion yuan two months ago.
Although the majority of people who eat melons may not be able to calculate various complex formulas very clearly, the simplest conclusion can still be easily understood - according to the outright contract, no matter what position this "Mermaid" finally falls to, how much income Xinghui can get in addition to the outright price can really only depend on the mood of the publisher.
"The Mermaid" is a big hit, and Zhou Xinchi, as a director and producer, is naturally in the limelight, at this point in time, not only in the Xiangjiang film industry, but even if it is zoomed in to the entire mainland, no one can compare with him.
Every time I see the rising box office figures of "The Mermaid", Zhou Xinchi's pride will arise spontaneously.
Even though he was born in the Xiangjiang circle, his personality and style of acting made it difficult for him to become friends with others.
Unlike Wang Jing, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, and Xu Ke, who is supported by his wife Shi Nansheng, even if Zhou Xinchi has been in the industry for more than 30 years, it is difficult for anyone to become friends with him for a long time.
As a low-key character, self-styled, and not good at words, although Zhou Xinchi has always ignored the world's attitude towards him, due to past experience, Zhou Xinchi's dedication to money is indeed beyond ordinary people.
But the problem is that persistence is persistence, Zhou Xinchi is also a person who has cooperated with mainland film and television companies for so many years, for him who has been dealing with all aspects of the mainland all year round, no matter how persistent he is, he will only stay at the level of unwillingness.
The four companies that bought out the distribution rights of "Mermaid" include veterans, cutting-edge, supernovas and Internet financiers, even if Xinghui Company scolds any of them, it can't say that it will win, let alone four at once......
So, Zhou Xinchi's eyes turned red, and he was unhappy, but the shackles of reason still made him honestly shut his mouth.
Although Zhou Xinchi didn't plan to open his mouth at all, the problem is that there are not a few companies in the industry that are interested in the operation of "Mermaid".
Wang's Group is one of them.
After falling out with Zhou Xinchi because of millions of box office shares, he was directly on the blacklist of others, and this time the trial meeting of "Mermaid" even the newly launched Molong Media received an invitation letter, but the veteran Wang Group in the industry was ignored......
I have to say that the Wang brothers have really different brain circuits at some point......
…………
February 14, Valentine's Day.
Wang's Group's "Ben Love", Lay's Pictures' "Mr. High Heels", and Wanda Group's "Murder Like Water" were launched at the same time.
Outcome...... It's a bit bleak.
The total box office of the first day of release of the three films combined is less than half of "Mermaid".
So, after the cumulative box office of "The Mermaid" exceeded 2 billion yuan, there were a bunch of popular science and puzzle-solving posts on the Internet, analyzing from various angles such as "Is "The Mermaid" qualified to be crowned the king of the domestic film box office list?' "The Mermaid" has achieved another good result at the box office, and in-depth analysis of how much Zhou Xinchi can get from the box office of this movie'......
The purpose of the above things is only one: to analyze "The Mermaid" from all angles, all-round, and multi-layered, hoping to wake up the audience who walked into the cinema because of 'owing a movie ticket', since Zhou Xinchi has no way to get half a dime from the movie tickets you contributed, then why not keep this movie ticket, and wait until he cooperates with other companies in the future when he cooperates with other companies for new films.
The "Mermaid" distribution alliance led by Mo Long is very clear that the reason for these remarks is that the momentum of "Mermaid" is too strong, and it has affected the survival and income of other films throughout February, so other companies have made a small alliance and sniped "Mermaid" in a vague manner......
Li Mo didn't pay attention to these remarks at all.
If Molong Media is a company in the face of such a wave of public opinion, although it will not have any substantial impact on the company in the end, it should not be able to run away from devoting part of its energy to deal with these problems, but now Molong Media is an alliance of interests tied to Guanglu Media, Wanda, and Penguin.
Since everyone is tied to the same boat and enjoying the common dividends, it is naturally impossible to sit idly by when it is time to contribute.
Want to take advantage of it and not work?
Hehe, think too much!
Not to mention whether Mo Long will have an opinion on this kind of behavior, no matter how rich and well-connected the other three partners are, no one in this world likes to cooperate with him.
