The summer season in July, especially in North America, was very miserable.

A total of 15 blockbuster films costing more than $20 million have been released in the United States.

Even if there are more than 15,000 screens in the United States, there are so many movies that can't help but be released.

If you have invested in so many movies, you will definitely hope to be able to schedule about 5 shows a day at least.

Based on the calculation that a screening hall is basically full in a day, it can only be lined up for 8 shows, and if it is earlier or later, no one will come to see it at all.

And except for the three good performances from afternoon to evening, the attendance rate can exceed 70%, and the rest can basically reach 30% attendance, which is very good.

The two shows in the morning and the one in the middle of the night, usually the number of moviegoers is in single digits, and the great blockbuster can exceed 20 people, which has to be super blockbusters like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars".

Therefore, the war for the number of sessions from afternoon to evening is very fierce.

The theater chain is not a fool, it doesn't mean that the conditions you give me are very good, and the proportion of shares is high, so I will definitely give you a high number of films.

For example, if a movie with a total box office of 50 million, it gives you a share of 60%, and you can only get 30 million.

But if it's a movie that grosses more than $100 million, it only gives you a 45% share, and you can get 45 million.

The difference between the two is huge.

If a movie is found to be a hit, even if the number of films scheduled at the beginning is not large, it will quickly increase the number of screenings and cut out those films that do not have attendance.

So it is destined that there will be movies that will be beaten to the ground, with huge investment losses, and you must know that you must know that in the 80s, it is generally broadcast in mainstream theaters for 8 weeks, which is a standard configuration, if it is too popular, then after the big city is withdrawn, it will continue to be broadcast and released in the countryside, and there is no problem with the duration of a year and a half.

"Back to the Future" only took three weeks to break the North American box office of 200 million, how domineering is it?

This is not just that there is no place for those small productions and bad movies, and there is no place for the blockbusters of the period.

The top three theaters in North America have given more than 50% of the films to "Back to the Future", considering that so many movies were released in the same period, these thousands of screens are occupied by "Back to the Future", which can be described as extremely strong.

But do you think that's hell of difficulty?

Wrong!

There are as many as 36 movies ready to be released in August, of which 12 have invested 30 million!

Don't compare today's 30 million with 30 million in 30 years.

At present, the US economy is still developing, and the US dollar is not being issued indiscriminately, and it is still very valuable.

So today's 30 million production is almost an investment of 60 million or 80 million in the future.

If you add millions to tens of millions of publicity and distribution costs, they are actually film projects equivalent to an investment of hundreds of millions.

With such a huge investment, Hollywood is cautious.

The lesson of Lianyi Film Company's almost bankruptcy because of "Heaven's Gate" and its acquisition by Kirin Group has always made everyone vigilant.

So in fact, since last year, the six giants of Hollywood have had a tacit agreement with the Kirin Group.

In the two most important periods, summer and Christmas, there are at most two blockbusters released in the same week.

And then you have to leave enough time for these blockbusters to dominate for a week to ten days, and other blockbusters will be staged in turn.

As for encountering other medium-sized film production companies, and encountering small-budget films that hit the box office, it can only be regarded as bad luck.

The Hollywood Seven have such a tacit understanding, and they have a basic guarantee for each other's interests.

You can't have every blockbuster that meets your rivals, right?

So in August this year, when the blockbuster "Top Gun" of United Arts Film Company was released, only a relatively weak 20th Century Fox movie was released in the same period.

The advertising cost of "Top Gun" in June and July was as high as $30 million for both months, not including a series of subsidies given by the Navy, at least in the form of special funds, which subsidized $10 million.

Although the production cost given to it by Lianyi Film Company is only about 20 million US dollars, if you include the various expenses of planes, airports, aircraft carriers, and special pilots, it will properly exceed 100 million.

And if it weren't for the navy opening the back door, you would have to give away the $100 million, and people wouldn't have to agree, because there are a lot of sensitive technologies and advanced technologies involved!

But the Navy is not stupid either.

The previous airport plane fee was a normal consumption and was not an additional expense.

But the subsequent advertising was really to subsidize it with real money.

They also gave 10 million publicity funds after seeing that "Top Gun" was unexpectedly good.

It's worth all the effort.

In the first week of the release of "Top Gun", "Back to the Future", which had been in the village for 4 weeks, was pulled down.

Then the box office champion, which has been sitting for 3 weeks in a row, firmly pressed "Back to the Future" in second place.

In these three weeks, "Top Gun" swept $250 million at the box office in one go, directly breaking the best box office record of the year just set by "Back to the Future".

But "Back to the Future" is not bad at all, sitting in second place for another 3 weeks in a row, with a total box office of more than $330 million!

The popularity of "Top Gun" is definitely not just at the box office.

Through his wonderful performance in the movie, Fei Xiang has jumped from a well-known mixed-race star to a hot superstar.

Almost every young person in the United States has fallen in love with this tall and handsome star.

The Navy directly used Fei Xiang's photos and shots in "Top Gun" on its own recruitment advertisement, and as a result, in just ten days, more than 5,000 applications were received, which was simply a joy for them!

At the same time, the image of the Navy was also erected very tall at this time, and they convinced the Americans that the reason why the United States is so powerful and inviolable is entirely because of the role of carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers of the Navy.

This has greatly improved the image of the US military, which has been plagued by various negative influences over the past 10 years or so.

The effect was so good that the Pentagon made a special phone call to praise the Navy for doing a great job this time.

"Back to the Future" and "Top Gun" together, throughout July and August, the box office champions were controlled by the films of the Kirin Group, which really frustrated the Hollywood giants and the rest of the studios.

And it's not just two.

"Mean Girl" also gained the hearts of a large number of boys and girls.

Even another, the action movie "Spicy Detective" starring Cannes actor and actor Zhou Yunfa of "The Shawshank Redemption", also received an excellent box office.

Throughout August, such a fierce schedule, "Spicy Hand Detective", a movie starring Xiangjiang people, actually ranked in the top ten of the North American box office list, and never fell below the top ten, and the cumulative box office in a month reached 75 million US dollars.

According to this posture, when it is released, "Spicy Detective" will at least get a box office of about 120 million US dollars.

Based on this box office calculation, "Spicy Hand Detective" can get a box office share of 36 million US dollars.

The key is also that the home of "Spicy Detective" is not North America, nor Europe, but Asia.

This movie, which is said to be starred by Zhou Yunfa and a hot idol star in Asia, directly detonated the box office in Asia.

In the first week of its release, "Hot Hand Detective" broke the 180 million first-weekend box office result set by "Happy Ghost 2" in July, and the box office in Asia directly exceeded 220 million Hong Kong dollars!

Because of the super good reputation, plus the fight and shootout are indeed exciting, Zhou Yunfa and Liang Chaowei's mutual acting skills are addictive, and the box office in the second week actually reached 200 million!

In the past four weeks, the box office of "Hot Hand Detective" has exceeded 650 million, and it is almost destined to be the first film to win the top box office in Asia this year.

The reason why I say almost is that in mid-August, another super blockbuster appeared in the Xiangjiang film industry.

It is the third installment of "Mr. Zombie" with an annual episode.

Lin Zhengying's main task every year is to produce "Mr. Zombie".

He knew that this movie was his own work, so every preparation, shooting, and post-production took more than half a year.

With such an attitude of excellence, he learned from Yin Jun, and the effect is of course very good.

The first episode of "Mr. Zombie" made more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

Waiting for "Mr. Zombie 2", Baohe Company made 80 million Hong Kong dollars.

Hung Jinbao directly offered a dividend of 10 million Hong Kong dollars to Lin Zhengying.

Now "Mr. Zombie 3", Hong Jinbao has made a lot of money.

Lin Zhengying is still the starring, but Hong Jinbao pulled the banner of Yin Jun and invited Zhang Guorong over, and the heroine is the goddess Lizhi of the recently very popular "Overlord Flower", which has a huge advantage together.

Especially the overseas market, it is even more powerful.

Under the huge pressure of "Spicy Detective", they directly exploded "Spicy Detective" with a total Asian box office of 180 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week, and those who thought that "Spicy Detective" would achieve the previous "Happy Ghost 2" four consecutive village results were shocked.

Lin Zhengying has been studying zombie culture in his free time in the past few years.

Especially when he was filming this year, he absorbed a little bit of the essence of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", so the plot content is even better, and the script originally given by Yin Jun was directly changed by him.

The elaborate "Mr. Zombie 3" in this way will naturally be liked by everyone.

The Asian box office in the second week also returned with 160 million Hong Kong dollars, proving that hard work is worthwhile.

Then "Mr. Zombie 3" exploded "Hot Hand Detective" again, and stood on the top of the box office in Asia in the second week.

Although it is equal to every week, it can't be compared with "Spicy Hand Detective", and it has a box office of tens of millions less, but it comes out two weeks late, which occupies too many advantages.

According to this posture, if there is no blockbuster on top, I am afraid that "Mr. Zombie 3" can still sit on the box office champion for a few more weeks.

This makes Kirin Films and McDonald Bear Studios, the producers of "Hot Hand Detective", relatively speechless.

Obviously, his two-week box office champion broke all records and belonged to the kind that deserved it, but he only sat on the box office champion for two weeks, and he was pressed to death.

I feel aggrieved when I think about it!

Of course, the grievances in my heart are just a kind of unhappiness in honor.

In fact, "Hot Hand Detective" has made a lot of money.

After four weeks, they took 650 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Asia alone, and 75 million US dollars in the United States, which is 540 million Hong Kong dollars.

According to the different box office shares of each country and region, they can get a total of 480 million Hong Kong dollars.

Excluding taxes, filming and publicity expenses, "Spicy Detective" is 330 million Hong Kong dollars!

There is no income after a few times, and everyone who participates in the movie dividends will get dividends that make them laugh from ear to ear.

Yin Jun used the script to join the dividends, and took 3% of the global box office share, which was calculated to be 9.9 million Hong Kong dollars.

Zhou Yanfa is the most famous, and he takes a 5% share of the global box office profit, which is 16.5 million Hong Kong dollars!

Liang Chaowei is not so famous, and Kirin Movies gives him a 3% share of the box office profit in Asia, and there is almost 6 million Hong Kong dollars! Liang Chaowei did not get more than 2 million in a TV series before, no matter how popular it was.

So, it's no wonder that so many people want to jump out of the small screen and jump to the big screen, this benefit alone is enough to make them excited!

Except for the two male protagonists, the rest of the crew and actors have large and small red envelopes, but they are not according to the proportion, but depending on the results of the negotiation between the two companies, it will definitely not be very small.

The actors and Yin Jun actually have small heads.

The real big head is still taken by Kirin Movies and McDonald Bear Studios.

The agreement signed by McDonald Bear Studios is a 35% global box office profit share, and the direct profit is 115.5 million Hong Kong dollars!

The remaining profit of nearly 200 million yuan was swallowed by Kirin Movies.

McDonald Bear Studio's last "True Colors of Heroes" was also cooperated with Kirin Films, although the box office was also very good, but the box office was not as good as the explosion, and McDonald Bear Studios only got about 90 million Hong Kong dollars.

Now not only is it 100 million, but it is very likely to be 150 million Hong Kong dollars, how can this not make McDonald Bear overjoyed?

If he knew that movies were so profitable, he would have jumped out of ATV to make movies a long time ago!

But McDonald's Bear didn't get carried away.

He knows that most of the credit for the popularity of "Hot Hand Detective" is Yin Jun and Kirin Film Company.

Without the script provided by Yin Jun and the new stars like Zhou Yunfa and Liang Chaowei, without the strong distribution ability of Kirin Films, how could the box office explode so much?

"The True Color of Heroes", which was released in October last year, had a box office of only about 250 million in Asia, and now it has more than doubled in just four weeks.

This is all thanks to Kylin Films' active contact with cinemas throughout Asia and the negotiation of dividends, so that he can enjoy the success of McDonald Bear Studio.

Otherwise, according to the previous rules of other people's buyouts, I am afraid that the whole of Asia except Xiangjiang can get a buyout price of 50 million or 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and they should be smiling.

Although earning is certainly a lot of money, who wouldn't want to earn more?

As long as he has the confidence of "Spicy Hand Detective", McDonald Bear will be more handy when he makes his own movies in the future, and he will dare to invest and produce.

And he's already made up his mind.

In the future, the distribution of McDonald Bear Studio must be given to Kirin Films, and I would rather get a lower share than covet the high share of other film companies.

The base is different, and the difference in profits obtained is bigger.

McDonald Bear is happy, but there is one man who is happier than him.

This person is Hung Jinbao.

The Asian box office of "Mr. Zombie 3" is likely to exceed 600 million Hong Kong dollars, which is unlikely to break the record of "Hot Hand Detective", but it is very possible to catch up with "Happy Ghost 2".

Moreover, for the distribution in Europe and the United States, the price code of Lianyi Film Company has been given, which is 15 million US dollars, which is 5 million higher than "Happy Ghost 2".

After discussing it with Zou Wenhuai, he readily agreed.

Unlike the partnership investment of "Raid" and "Food Truck", the copyright of the "Mr. Zombie" series belongs to Baohe Company.

According to this posture, in addition to the issuance share to Golden Harvest, in addition to various expenses, the profits belonging to Baohe Company are at least 150 million Hong Kong dollars!

You can earn 150 million in one movie!

Hung Jinbao and McDonald Bear also issued such an exclamation!

recalled that ten years ago, the salaries of their brothers and sisters were only a few hundred yuan, and Yuan Biao's first movie was filmed, and he only gave a bowl of boxed lunch.

I can't imagine that ten years later, I will be able to earn hundreds of millions of dollars from a movie?

I can't even dream of it!

Of course, Hong Jinbao has not forgotten the biggest hero.

He announced on the spot at the celebration that his eldest brother Lin Zhengying owned 10% of Baohe's shares and became the second largest shareholder after him.

At the same time, in this part of "Mr. Zombie 3", Lin Zhengying joined the dividends as a director and starring role, and the total dividends received were 30 million!

O God!

30 million dividends, what kind of concept is this!?

Just three years ago, Xiangjiang's top three movies of the year only passed 30 million!

This is still the total box office!

Now Lin Zhengying's dividends alone are equivalent to the high total box office income of a movie, which is simply incredible!

Zhou Yunfa's 13.5 million Hong Kong dollars' highest salary dividend in Hong Kong, which has not yet been hot, was directly snatched away by Lin Zhengying.

Including the salary dividends of Wang Fatzi's most profitable director, he also lost to Lin Zhengying.

For a time, Lin Zhengying's title of "Mr. 30 Million" resounded throughout the Xiangjiang film circle and entertainment circle.

It even shocked the entire Xiangjiang society.

In this era when the economy of Hong Kong is extremely bleak, the film industry in Hong Kong is so beautiful!?

In this era when the per capita income of Xiangjiang fell below 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, Lin Zhengying actually took 30 million Hong Kong dollars for a movie!?

It's so enviable!!
