Chapter 049: Box Office Blowout and Million-Day Earnings
System prompt: The host joins Lizhen Film and Television Company and becomes a computer consultant, with a salary of 10 million, but he doesn't have to go to work, and the happiness index is +260!
The pleasant air flow jumped up, and the whole body swam, Huang Yongle was intoxicated, and his heart was full of happiness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huang Yongle decided to join Lizhen Film and Television for two main reasons:
First, it is to let the outside world know that he is rich.
The outside world's impression of Huang Yongle is at the stage of "the top student in the college entrance examination in a poor mountain village", and some people still think that Huang Yongle is a poor person.
If the outside world thinks that Huang Yongle has no money, the 1.5 million yuan in Huang Yongle's lockbox will not be easy to spend. Because all this money is obtained from informal channels.
Huang Yongle has now joined Lizhen Film and Television, he is not only the company's film consultant, but also a shareholder of the company, with an annual salary of 10 million.
In this way, his spending is rarely suspicious.
Second, it is to lay the foundation for future careers.
Huang Yongle is still a student, and his studies are his focus. In addition to studying, he also wants to get in touch with the entertainment industry in China to prepare for future development.
Huaxia is a country where happiness is paramount, and the entertainment industry is undoubtedly a very promising industry. Huang Yongle is now joining Lizhen Film and Television, first trying the water and understanding the industry.
When the funds and experience are sufficient in the future, Huang Yongle will be able to do a big job.
"Master Huang, this is your business card. At this time, Zhou Lizhen took a stack of printed business cards from her bag and handed it over.
Huang Yongle took a look and saw that the business card said "Lizhen Film and Television Company's Specially Appointed Senior Film Consultant, Huang Yongle".
That sounds like a tall position, doesn't it?
Huang Yongle said: "Mr. Zhou, you can, the business cards have been printed in advance." ”
"This shows that I am sincere!" Zhou Lizhen smiled, holding the red wine in her small hand, "Master Huang, in the future, Lizhen Film and Television will all rely on you, I will toast you again." ”
"Let's master and apprentice, why do you have to see the outside like this?" After teasing a few sentences, Huang Yongle took a sip of red wine and asked, "Tomorrow "Beautiful World" will be released nationwide, how is the schedule of major theaters?"
Zhou Lizhen frowned slightly: "There are too many films in the summer file, and the competition for film scheduling is very fierce, and the film schedule of "Beautiful World" can only be regarded as decent, and I don't know if the box office is good or not. ”
Ye Zi said: "The happiness index of "Beautiful World" is so high, the box office should not be bad, right?"
"It's hard to say. ”
The entertainment industry in China is very developed, but piracy is also rampant.
Whether it is movies, anime, music, games, or novels, there are a large number of pirated resources, and most people are also pirated users.
The reason why piracy is so high is that for many people, using piracy is a better way to improve their well-being.
Movies that other people spend years making, you watch for free;
Anime made by others for millions of dollars, you can watch for free;
Someone else spends months recording music that you listen to for free.
Cool?
Of course it's cool!
Free lunch, this is definitely a very happy thing.
As a result, many people are accustomed to using pirated resources, watching movies, watching anime, listening to music, playing games, and reading novels, all of which are pirated, and they don't have to spend a penny, and they have a proper sense of happiness.
In such an environment, the box office of Huaxia's movies will naturally not be high.
People who are willing to spend money to go to the cinema to watch a movie are still in the minority.
There have been more than 50,000 movies released in Huaxia, and only 13 movies have broken 1 billion at the box office, and the highest-grossing movie is the disaster film "The Big Bang Theory", with a box office of 1.8 billion.
The total investment of "Beautiful World" is about 470 million, and if the cost is to be recovered, the box office of the movie must reach at least 1 billion.
Because of the box office revenue, the movie theater has to take half of it, and the money that Zhou Lizhen can take is only about 40% of the total box office.
If the box office of "Beautiful World" can't break 1 billion, Zhou Lizhen will definitely lose money.
"Sister Li, don't worry, it will definitely break 1 billion. ”
"I hope so. ”
……
The next day.
"Beautiful World" was officially released nationwide.
Huang Yongle stayed in front of the computer, paying close attention to the box office data of "Beautiful World".
He is now a shareholder of Lizhen Film and Television, and the quality of the movie box office is directly related to the rise and fall of his stock.
According to data from Huaxia Box Office Network, a total of 97 movies were released in theaters across the country today, and "Beautiful World" dominated the box office, with a box office of 140 million on the day of its premiere.
The box office of 140 million broke the record of the highest single-day box office of a domestic film this year, which seems to be a good result.
However, for "Beautiful World", this achievement can only be considered mediocre.
Because according to the calculation of the box office of 140 million on the first day, the total box office of "Beautiful World" may be more than 1 billion, basically just recovering the cost and not making any money.
Lizhen Film and Television has worked hard for four years, but it is only a return to the capital, which is obviously not a satisfactory result.
Because the box office of the "Beautiful World" movie did not meet expectations, the stock of Lizhen Film and Television rose only 4% on the day.
The reason for the sluggish box office is that pirated sources of "Beautiful World" have appeared on the Internet.
At 7 a.m., Huang Yongle discovered that a pirated movie network had a video of "Beautiful World" leaking out, and in just two hours, the pirated video was played more than 4 million times.
Seeing that the box office was not ideal, Ye Zi posted a Weibo that night: "I have known Sister Li for four years, and in the past four years, Sister Li has been making movies. When she eats, she talks about movies, when she does yoga, she talks about movies, and when she does her hair, she talks about movies. She has complained to me many times that she is too tired to make movies, she stays up late every day, she complains about dark circles, complains about bad skin, complains about hair loss, but after complaining, she still continues to make movies. For a movie, Sister Li can stay up silently for four years and give everything she has. Here, I want to canvass for "Beautiful World", good movies need support!"
As soon as Ye Zi's Weibo was posted, the comment area suddenly became active, as if it was a holiday.
[Strawberry Army-Jiaojiao]: Wow, Sister Ye Zi is posting on Weibo again!!Front row, front row, front row!!
[Strawberry Army-Watermelon]: I've been watching pirated movies for many years, and since Ye Zi has spoken, let's support "Beautiful World" this time!
[Strawberry Legion-Captain Lee]: The 9th Regiment of the Strawberry Legion gathers! All members of the group will brush up on "Beautiful World" on Wednesday this week, and another wave on Saturday!
[Strawberry Legion-Zhou Yingying]: The 9th Regiment Zhou Yingying reports, hehe!
[Strawberry Legion-Feiyang]: Commander Li is mighty!
[Strawberry Legion-Sun Bohai]: The 7th Regiment of the Strawberry Legion has been assembled! (Sunglasses)
[Strawberry Army-Elementary School Student]: Sister Yezi, I have already gathered my classmates to watch "Beautiful World" on Saturday!
[Strawberry Army-Music Bug]: Goddess Ye, when will you release a new song? You release a new album, I will buy 10 genuine discs to support!
[Strawberry Army-Lili]: Upstairs +1! The leaves haven't released a new song for three years, and the flowers I'm waiting for are almost grateful, woo woo.
……
Soon after Ye Zi's Weibo was issued, Huang Yongle forwarded it.
[Strawberry Army-Zhou Yingying]: The first Weibo forwarded by Brother Yongle was Sister Yezi's, hehe!
[Strawberry Legion-Caterpillar]: The Emperor Yongle and the Strawberry Goddess shot at the same time, and they must be held!
[Foot-picking girl]: I will go to the theater tomorrow to brush it up!
……
When Ye Zi and Huang Yongle canvassed for the movie on Weibo, Zhou Lizhen had already appeared on the entertainment program "Super Gossip" to build momentum for the movie.
The host asked: "Mr. Zhou, you have worked hard for four years in "Beautiful World", how did you persist for such a long time?"
Zhou Lizhen said: "It's really tiring to make a movie, but our entire creative team is enjoying it. Making a movie is like raising a child, watching the child grow up day by day, and the heart is very satisfying. ”
The host asked, "What is the biggest difficulty you have encountered in the past four years?"
"Funding. Zhou Lizhen said, "Making 3D movies is very expensive, and hundreds of thousands of dollars a day are constantly smashed, which is a bottomless pit." Burning so much money may not be able to achieve the desired effect. Before the release of the movie, I was always anxious that if the box office was not good, all the money would be wasted, and the whole team's four years of hard work would be in vain. ”
The host asked: "I heard that before the movie was released, you suffered from depression?"
Zhou Lizhen nodded: "The main reason is that I don't have confidence in the movie." I would like to give special thanks to Mr. Huang Yongle for enlightening me and giving me confidence during my most depressed days. Really appreciate him. ”
The host was curious: "Mr. Zhou, what is the relationship between you and Huang Yongle? You once called Huang Yongle 'Master Huang' on Weibo, why is this?"
"Uh......" Zhou Lizhen frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think of her fart practicing "Tai Chi" in her mind, "This is personal privacy, so I won't talk about it, I only talk about movies today." ”
……
After the broadcast of "Super Gossip", more and more people began to understand the inside story of the filming of "Beautiful World" and the hardships that the production team went through in four years.
Many media have given this film creative team a very positive evaluation:
"Four Years of Sharpening a Sword - Salute to the Lizhen Film and Television Creative Team!"
"Great Movie, Dedicated Team!"
"How is a first-class film and television team trained!"
"A team of conscience, a movie of conscience, four years of perseverance, is it not worthy of a 35 yuan movie ticket?"
……
After these reports came out, they undoubtedly brought a lot of sympathy and recognition to "Beautiful World".
Under the joint promotion of several waves of help, more and more citizens decided to go to the cinema to support the conscience of "Beautiful World".
The next day.
The box office of "Beautiful World" had a blowout and rapid growth, with the box office exceeding 100 million at 9 a.m. and 150 million at 12 o'clock, breaking the box office record on the premiere day, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
"180 million! "Beautiful World" has set another single-day box office record this year!"
"200 million! Chinese movie single-day box office champion!"
"240 million! the new king of the Chinese box office!!"
……
As of 18 o'clock in the afternoon, the single-day box office of "Beautiful World" has approached 270 million that day, almost twice the box office on the premiere day.
"Asking for a ticket is really useful!"
Looking at the data in the box office network, Huang Yongle sighed secretly. Ye Zi asked for tickets for "Beautiful World" on Weibo yesterday, and Zhou Lizhen also asked for tickets for "Super Gossip", and the box office really skyrocketed today.
Due to the box office surge of "Beautiful World", exceeding expectations, the stock of Lizhen Film and Television has a daily limit.
System prompt: The host's stock is up and down today, earning 1.268 million yuan in one day, and the happiness index is +55!
