Chapter 322: Box Office

Bill Gates once said that Microsoft is forever only eighteen months away from bankruptcy, and when competitors are making rapid progress and your company is stagnating, bankruptcy is not far off.

This may be too absolute, but it has a deep warning meaning.

For the current Huimin Pharmaceutical, the biggest problem is that the opponent is developing rapidly, while itself is going downhill.

In recent months, sales have continued to decline, and Li Bo is not sure whether Huimin Pharmaceutical can survive until 18 months if such a momentum cannot be stopped in time.

Kanghao Pharmaceutical's offensive is too rapid, so that Li Bo is not very optimistic about his own company, if he can't find a way to break the situation, the value of Huimin Pharmaceutical will shrink step by step, and it is not a wise move to buy the shares of the Jiang family and the Bai family.

Perhaps in a few more years, the value of Huimin Pharmaceutical's shares will fall to one-third or even one-fifth of what it is now.

Li Yao didn't tell his son the specific reason, but just asked him to buy back the shares and completely kick the Jiang and Bai families out of Huimin Pharmaceutical.

Li Bo knew that his father must have his own considerations, so he bought the shares of the two families at a lower price.

……

In anticipation, Kung Fu Little Fox was finally officially released, although Li Yan didn't care much about the box office, he still had some drums in his heart, if the box office was too sluggish, his face would not look good.

Xiao Mo gave him dozens of movie tickets in advance, which can be given to relatives and friends for a personal show, generally speaking, there will be no shortage of friendship tickets when it is just released.

Li Yan sent some to Lao Wang and other classmates, and the rest was distributed to Bai Suyun and others.

The total duration of the movie is nearly two hours, and Li Yan and Yin Xiaoya sit together, no different from many couples, and buy a lot of snacks.

Not far in front are Bai Suyun and Ma Chengyan's father and daughter, and Lei Jianguo and other fake taste old employees are also sitting in that row.

After going to college, Yin Xiaoya and Li Yan didn't contact each other until that time when they met at the women's clothing store where Bai Suyun worked.

To a certain extent, the two were able to get back together, and Bai Suyun inadvertently played the role of a bridge.

Yin Xiaoya obviously also noticed Bai Suyun not far away, and gently poked Li Yan with her fingers, pretending to be jealous: "That time in the women's clothing store, didn't you say that she was your girlfriend?"

Li Yan coughed dryly twice, and said softly: "I'm right, female friend, referred to as girlfriend." ”

Yin Xiaoya gave him a blank look: "Then you have a lot of girlfriends." ”

Li Yan didn't know how to answer, pretending to be concentrating on watching the movie, and simply kept silent.

The movie theater was full of audiences, a small number of them were friendship tickets, and the rest were spent money to buy tickets to see the little fox of kung fu, which gave Li Yan a reassurance.

Two hours passed, the audience dispersed, Li Yan took Yin Xiaoya by the hand, and walked out of the theater with the flow of people, and heard many viewers' comments on the little fox of kung fu on the way.

In general, the evaluation is not bad, especially the little fox's acting skills have been greatly praised, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Gray, who are supporting roles, have also received a lot of praise.

Early the next morning, Li Yan was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone, and as soon as he connected it, he heard Xiao Mo's excited voice: "Li Yan, guess how high the box office of Kung Fu Little Fox was on the first day!"

Li Yan slept in a daze, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "How high can it be, it shouldn't exceed 100 million......

He just teased casually, but Xiao Mo was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?"

Li Yan on the other side was also stunned, listening to the meaning of this, it seems that the box office on the first day really reached 100 million.

Sitting up suddenly, Li Yan shook his heavy head vigorously to make himself as sober as possible: "What did you just say, the box office of Kung Fu Little Fox exceeded 100 million on the first day?!"

"To be precise, it's 100 million and 5 million, which is a certain gap with those blockbusters, but for small-budget movies, we have already made a lot of money!" Xiao Mo couldn't help laughing.

Li Yan's eyes suddenly widened: "Damn, are you really so powerful? You don't mean to make fun of me, right?"

Xiao Mo said excitedly: "I'm not full, you can search on the Internet to know that our movie has rave reviews, and several websites have given ratings of more than 8.5!"

Li Yan rarely reads movie reviews, but he also knows that 8.5 is not low, it is definitely a conscientious production, and with such a good reputation, presumably the box office will not be too low in the next few days.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yan hastily washed up, and made a silent calculation in his heart while eating breakfast.

If the investor can get 40% of the box office, that is, about 40 million, and the total cost of the film is 15 million, of which 10 million is from Li Yan, he can get two-thirds of the 40 million, not only recovering the capital, but also making a lot of money.

"Tut-tut, no wonder so many actors are now starting to invest in movies, and if they make a successful film, they can make a lot of money. Li Yan was secretly surprised.

He knows that there are not many successful movies like Kung Fu Little Fox, but the Huaxia film market is still quite powerful, and many investors have made a lot of money from it.

In the next few days, the box office was as most people expected, not to mention soaring, but it was always able to maintain 70 or 80 million, and the highest day reached 120 million.

In the first week, according to the data released by Xinghan Film and Television, the total box office of Kung Fu Little Fox in these seven days was 510 million!

It is unimaginable that a movie with a cost of only 15 million had a box office of more than 500 million in the previous week, causing an uproar in the film industry.

Li Yan, as the largest investor in Kung Fu Little Fox, will inevitably receive much attention, and some media have helped calculate that with this movie, he can net more than 130 million, and this figure is only temporary.

Professionals analyzed that the reason why this low-budget movie was a big success was that the actors' efforts were undeniable, and there was another key factor, the early donation event won the favor of fans.

The two important supporting actresses, Shen Yunyun and Guo Yanqiu, both donated their respective salaries to build Hope Primary School.

Coupled with Li Yan's series of measures in the Yunnan-Guishan District, he invisibly advertised the little fox of Kung Fu, and fans will naturally buy it.

Some people have questioned whether the real purpose of those so-called public welfare charities is to buy people's hearts in order to achieve the effect of promoting films.

If there is a question, there will be a voice of rebuttal, and most netizens do not agree with this kind of questioning, because when Li Yan was interviewed in the mountainous area, he mainly talked about the local situation, and almost did not take the initiative to mention the movie, and the actor's donation was only a passing sentence.

Besides, the box office of the movie depends mainly on the quality, even if the good-looking movie is not hyped, the box office will not be too low, and no matter how much the hype of the movie is not level, it will not help.

The eyes of the masses are bright, perhaps through a lot of hype, a wave of viewers can be deceived past, and when the audience has seen the movie, they will publish their feelings after watching the movie, and it will be difficult to deceive people at that time.

Kung Fu Little Fox can maintain a high box office for a week, which is enough to show that the quality of the film is not low and can stand the test of the audience.

Xiao Bai had a lot of popularity before making a movie, and Xiao Hei and Xiao Ash became famous in one fell swoop with this movie, with that kind of round body and fleshy face, as long as you look at it, you feel cute to the bones.

Guo Yanqiu and Shen Yunyun's performances in the film are decent, and the newcomer actors can do their part, which is already very good, and many viewers have turned fans on this road.

There are not many actors in the movie, each character is very well portrayed, and it is easy to be remembered by the audience, and the popularity of all the participants has increased significantly, so it can be said that everyone is a beneficiary of this film.

Li Yan is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary, and has been concerned by many news media, and he can't accept interviews if he wants to.

A reporter blocked the entrance of the Jinjiang community, and as soon as he saw Li Yan coming out, he surrounded him and asked: "Mr. Li Yan, according to yesterday's data, the box office of Kung Fu Little Fox exceeded the 600 million mark, which can be said to be a great success, what do you think is the key factor for the success of this movie?"

Li Yan pondered for a moment and responded: "I think that for a movie to be accepted by the audience, every factor is very important, just like a wooden barrel, as long as there is a wooden board that is short, there is no way to fill it with water." ”

"If you were to give a high or low the importance of many factors, which one would you put first?" the reporter continued.

Li Yan smiled helplessly, so he had to respond: "That must be an actor, the plot needs to be performed by actors after all, and whether the selected actors are suitable or not is related to the quality of the whole play." ”
