Chapter 94: Situation (1/6)
Bona has played the Spring Festival stall before.
"Where Are You Going, Dad" is produced by them, and the schedule is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Yu Dong's vision is still very accurate, and after the variety show movie was criticized by the whole people, he immediately launched "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"...
Then, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was a box office hit!
He also took the film adaptation rights of the Mekong incident at a large price, and found Lin Chaoxian as the director, and the box office sold well again when many people were not optimistic.
Immediately realized that the main theme of large-scale commercial production is a good way, and launched "Operation Red Sea", "Agni Hero", "Chinese Captain", "Decisive Moment"...
At the same time, we will continue to adhere to the established strategy and cooperate with the Hong Kong film industry...
Ye Weixin, Wang Jing, Zhuang Wenqiang, Weng Ziguang, including Liu Weiqiang, Cheng Guohui.
Why did Yu Dong dare to make the main theme blockbuster?
This has to start with "October Siege", although "October Siege" lost money, the main reason is that the production cost is too high, and the production cost can be compressed, at least the 130 million investment of "October Siege" can be completely compressed by half!
Yu Dong realized that patriotic themes can be successful!
He is very confident in "Operation Red Sea", which stems from the strategic cooperation between the cinema Wanda Cinemas and Bona Cinemas, and Wanda will support the films produced by Bona in film scheduling.
You see, this is the difference between Yu Dong and the Wang brothers.
Yu Dong took the initiative to embrace the cinema, while the Wang brothers guarded their own one-acre and three-point fields, fearing that others would encroach on them.
Moreover, there are two horses among the shareholders of Bona, Fuji Xun and Ahri are all shareholders of Bona, and the proportion is not low!
With the endorsement of Wanda Cinemas and the blessing of Erma, the quality of "Operation Red Sea" itself is not bad, and Yu Dong is full of confidence.
However, Shen Ming did this, and the promotion effect on the movie was obvious.
Jin Qiaoqiao said, 'Shen Ming's words are worth 20 million publicity expenses!'
It's a bit exaggerated, but it's not unreasonable, at least the cinema schedule has indeed risen a little, and the eye-catching data shows that the number of people who want to watch "Operation Red Sea" has doubled...
By the way, Lin Chaoxian's next work is called "Emergency Rescue", and the production cost alone is as high as 600 million, not including the actor's salary...
……
North America, at four p.m. Western Time, a Boeing 777 landed at Los Angeles International Airport.
Ten minutes later, a group of Chinese walked out of the airport.
It's really a team, Yang Xin, Shen Ming, Cheng Xiao, as well as two lawyers, two translators, two makeup artists...
Lawyers are there to collect debts.
The final payment of "The Fault in the Stars"...
This year, Shen Ming really made a lot of money.
"The Fault in the Stars", a drama, the revenue in North America reached more than 50 million US dollars, plus the follow-up copyright income, the global box office has arrived one after another, and it is time to urge the focus to settle the bill quickly;
"District 9", which ended its screening in North America, ended with $252 million...
successfully occupied the tenth place in the North American box office list, and added that "The Fault in the Stars", with a box office performance of $152 million, ranked 21st...
It's still not as good as Big Brother Cheng, the first part of Big Brother Cheng's "Rush Hour" directly ranked seventh in the year, "Rush Hour 2" ranked fifth in the year, and "Kung Fu Dream" ranked eleventh...
But Shen Ming's identity is not only the starring, but also an investor and producer...
That's awesome!
Not only that, as the awards season progresses, the North American box office of "Burst Drummer" has reached $32 million, and with a few more important awards to boost, the North American box office of "Ghost in the Shell", which can properly break 40 million, is only 40 million...
Also, the "Dallas Buyers Club", which is the main control investment, is becoming more and more famous, and the cumulative box office is about to break $20 million...
Once the North American market performs particularly well, the overseas region is very stable!
Generally speaking, independent films with a good reputation have 1.5-3 times the overseas performance of the North American box office...
Earn over!
This time they were picked up by Lisa Bonnell, the head of Focus' film department.
Of course, they have to pay attention to Shen Ming and his group, and the profit of the movie "The Fault in the Stars" alone is worth 60% of the total profit of Focus in a year!
"Lisa!"
“… Shen, wow, you're handsome again!"
"Haha, thank you!"
After shaking hands and communicating briefly, Lisa and Yang Xin got into one car, and Shen Ming, Cheng Xiao and Mahoney got into another car...
……
"The situation is very clear, the probability of you winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Comedy Actor is 90%!"
“… Can you stop talking about comedy?"
“oK!”
Mahoney smiled, he himself felt awkward...
"Why is the situation suddenly becoming clear?"
"Because of the recent rise of the feminist movement, your main rivals James Franco and Colin Farrell are all in trouble, and of several nominees, only you are the cleanest!"
“… And this kind of thing?"
Shen Ming translated and told Milk Xiao, who looked at Mahoney in surprise...
"That's the way it is, although it affects fairness, but it's supported by all the celebrities in Hollywood!"
“… You Hollywood is all wallgrass!"
Nonsense, the feminist movement, of course, must be supported, as if the black people were rehabilitated, this is called political correctness.
"But you're in luck!"
Indeed, this year's public relations expenses have only been spent on less than $2 million, and Shen Ming has already won without a fight...
"Is it possible to win an Oscar?"
“… Unlikely, Matthew McConaughey is too strong!"
Matthew sells Connor, starting with the Gotham Independent Film Awards, and swept all the way, except for the mTV Award for "The Wolf of Wall Street" that lost to Little Plum...
But the mTV Awards belong to the Audience Choice Award, also known as the Best Popcorn Award, and have nothing to do with the Oscars!
It hurts to think about it, this strongest opponent was actually created by Shen Ming himself.
"Dallas Buyers Club" was invested by Shen Ming.
"But J· K. Simmons is likely to beat Jared Leto and win Best Supporting Actor, Jared Leto has a bad reputation!"
“… Huh..."
In other words, even if Shen Ming plays "Dallas Buyers Club", he may not be able to win the award...
However, Jared Leto really has a bad reputation, how many rock singers can have a particularly good reputation?
Scarlett Johansson's elevator incident, the hero is Jared Leto...
"I think you'd better participate in a few shows in order to promote it!"
“… It's the Golden Globe the day after tomorrow, and I still have to participate in the show?"
Too late, right?
"It's okay, talk shows are usually live! I helped you choose "The Ellen Show"..."
“… No need. ”
Shen Ming was still a little resistant...
He originally wanted to have some afternoon tea and brag with a few familiar braggadocio, just like last year, even if he worked hard for public relations...
"It's better to participate, and Alan is very friendly to China! Jakie has also been on the Ellen Show!"
"What time?"
"Tomorrow night, tomorrow afternoon the focus company has held a public relations event, and you will also show up!"
“… Well, got it!"
Mahoney suddenly changed the subject: "Actually, it's not impossible for you to win the Oscar,"
"How?"
Mahoney glanced at Cheng Xiao, and Shen Ming said, "Don't worry, her English is very poor!"
“… I know of some very powerful people in the industry who have philatelic fetishes, and if you can get them, you can add at least a few hundred votes!"
"Philatelic?"
"It's just..."
Mahoney explained, and Shen Ming heard the point: "Wait, you're talking about them?"
