Chapter 1140: Piercing the Heart, Lao Tie!
Andy knows that the box office of "The Incredible Hulk" is a hit on the street, even if it can recover its costs, it can be regarded as a hit if the box office is not profitable.
Although a big-budget Hollywood movie has other ways to provide a steady stream of profits in addition to the box office, such as DVD sales and rentals, TV and toy merchandise, the biggest source of income for making movies is the box office.
Take the box office of "The Incredible Hulk" as an example, the global box office is more than $300 million, and after deducting sales tax and theater shares, Marvel can receive 53% of the North American box office and 41% of the international box office, with box office revenue of about $150 million. After deducting the average marketing spend of $50 million spent on theatrical distributions, only about $100 million remains.
As a result, despite the film's $328 million gross, including $208 million in North America and $120 million internationally, the filmmaker's calculated box office revenue still can't make up for the cost hole.
"In terms of home audiovisual distribution, it is expected to achieve revenues of $1.2-130 million. After deducting $20 million in marketing expenses and $30 million in production costs, net income is expected to be $80 million, and the profit margin is much higher than that of theatrical distribution...
Television distribution is expected to generate $80 million in revenue... β
"Huh. Andy shook his head again and smiled, looking at the serious faces of his subordinates in the video, and couldn't help laughing: "I finally heard a good prospect that can soothe the depressed mood."
Although the box office of "The Incredible Hulk" was a little low, I was mentally prepared for this before the start of filming, but I had to remake him, for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and for the assembly of the Avengers, the appearance of Iron Man at the end laid the groundwork for Green Fat to join the Avengers.
Anyway, thank you for your hard work, although the green fat made us lose a little miserably, but our rich man Iron Man helped us make a lot of money, in short, the start was smooth!"
Bang Bang β
There was applause in the conference room in the video, and the original solemn and serious atmosphere was eased a little, but Andy was a little helpless, and after a while, he spoke again: "Then, start "Captain America"!"
That's right, the reason why Andy is toothy is the next American theme movie, which provokes the little hearts of Americans, and the audience outside the United States is very indifferent to "Captain America", if he remembers correctly, this Captain Stars and Stripes is second only to the green and fat streets...
Hit the street twice in a row, tsk, pierced the old iron!
But there is no way, for the sake of the future sweep of the world, this is necessary to grit your teeth and persevere.
It's okay, it's okay, we still have the short, rich and handsome Iron Man, and the money printing machine Avengers, these investments will be earned back a lot!
Andy can only continue to comfort himself in his heart, after all, tens of millions of losses, he is still very painful, although the current loss of the Marvel Group is very beneficial to his own debts, but for Andy, the loss of money is still a very painful thing for him.
Woo, my little money...
Son Ye-jin looked at Andy who was lying in her arms a little shy and helpless, constantly muttering about a small amount of money, desperately taking advantage of the advantages, and couldn't cry or laugh angrily.
At the same time, in the office of the assistant to the chairman of CJ Group in Seoul, Assistant Park had a cigarette in his mouth, the smoke made his eyes squint slightly, he flicked the cigarette twice in the ashtray with his fingers, looked at a photo on the table with a somewhat playful look, shook his head, picked up the phone on the side and called out.
"Hey, Zhenman, it's me, am I busy? Okay, let me tell you something, take down the Yan Zhengxun of "East of Eden"... β
In an office of the director department of MBC TV, Kim Jinman took the phone with a wry smile and said: "Brother Dong Zhe, you have to give me a reason, this is going to start filming immediately, I... How can I say it, this role was originally opened by his father, Director Yan... β
Jin Zhenman still wanted to explain, but when he heard the increasingly impatient tone on the phone, he shook his head helplessly, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Brother Dong Zhe, I know what to do." β
Hanging up the phone, Jin Zhenman picked up the cigarette case from the table and took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff a little depressedly.
There's no way, who made CJ Entertainment the investor of this TV series!Hey, it seems that I can't live up to Director Yan, but who did this Yan Zhengxun and Han Jiaren offend, the two well-known actors were reduced to the point where there was no drama to film, this time I finally got to a role, and then there was a phone call...
Jin Zhenman couldn't help but twist his eyebrows and think, thinking of Han Jiaren's alluring beauty, he shook his head and said to himself with a wry smile: "Red face and trouble, this is the glass heart of the son who didn't know which brother I hurt!"
No one is a fool, this kind of ban in the entertainment industry is targeted, no one will do this, not only does it need strong strength, but also has a huge influence on the entertainment industry, and Yan Zhengxun, it's not that Jin Zhenman looks down on him, he really doesn't have the ability to offend such a big man.
And if you want to guess the root, it is not difficult, after all, Han Jiaren's beauty is recognized, this kind of beautiful actress, to be honest, I don't know how many people are staring, but what makes people stunned and surprised is that she got married in a flash, to be honest, this caused a great sensation in the Korean entertainment industry.
Now that I think about it, these two have been unlucky since they got married, hey, getting a treasure that they have no ability to protect is undoubtedly the beginning of disaster.
Kim Jinman narrowed his eyes slightly, snuffed out his cigarette, and was silent for a moment before picking up the phone and calling out.
"It's smoked, it's me, Kim Zhenman, are you free for a while? β
γγγγγγ
In the tatami mat box of a Korean barbecue restaurant, Kim Jin-man, who had already drunk and had a flushed face, drank the last cup of depth bombs, and his whole face was tangled.
"Smack!"
The wine glass was slammed on the table, his body shook a little, his eyes wandered away from the other side, and he only knew that he kept pouring wine into his mouth, and his face was full of ashes and painful solemnity.
"Heyβ"
Jin Zhenman sighed and shook his feet, stretched out his hand to hold down Yan Zhengxun, who was about to get up to send him, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't send me, I don't have the face to see Senior Yan again... Hey.,It's smoked.,I'm sorry.,I've pleaded again and again.,It's a pity.γγγ β
Saying that, he shook his head, then patted Yan Zhengxun's shoulder and said, "Zhengxun, you are a good boy and a good actor, but... Forget it, find a separate job to do. β
After speaking, Jin Zhenman opened the wooden door, put on his shoes, waved his hand at Yan Zhengxun, who had already stood up, and staggered out of the barbecue restaurant.
Sitting in the car and lighting a cigarette, Jin Zhenman glanced at the figure standing in the barbecue restaurant and smiled bitterly, "Drive." β
Located in the high-end villa community of Fangbeidong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Yan Zhengxun, who was full of alcohol, with a helpless wry smile on his face, and a somewhat depressed figure, swayed and stretched out his hand to support the door of his home.
"Bang bang bang-"
"Click-"
"Why do you drink so much wine? β
Yan Zhengxuan was drunk and looked at the beautiful face that appeared in front of the door, constantly wrinkled his nose and fanned, and looked disgusted with the beautiful face that Korean men coveted, he couldn't help laughing at himself, stretched out his hand to pull away Han Jiaren in front of the door, shook his body and walked into the house, ripped off his tie, and was still on the ground casually.
"Zhengxun, what's wrong with you?" Han Jiaren, who widened her bright eyes, pierced her head, and was wearing a white and blue striped T-shirt and shorts, hurriedly closed the door, as smart as her, she naturally saw that her husband's state was abnormal.
"Haha... β
Hearing Han Jiaren ask him, Yan Zhengxun turned his head and shook his body, looked at the pretty face he loved to death, pointed at Han Jiaren and laughed, his smile became more and more ugly, and finally he almost cried.
"Zhengxun, don't scare me, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something?" Han Jiaren was so frightened that her face widened, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to support Yan Zhengxun.
And Yan Zhengxun shook his head and pushed Han Jiaren away, with tears on his face, he sat on the ground, and lowered his head with a smile and whispered: "Hehe, thanks to my wife, I was kicked out of the TV drama crew, and the director hinted to me, stop being an actor, find another job, hehe... β
"Ah?!" Han Jiaren's pretty face became extremely pale, the expression on her face became panicked, she hurriedly squatted down, shook Yan Zhengxun's arm and said urgently: "Isn't it all already filming? How can you say that the contract will be terminated? Hasn't that person been transferred overseas, how can it still be... β
Han Jiaren's words were suddenly raised, and Yan Zhengxun, who was staring at her with a pair of eyes, stopped abruptly.
"Haha... My good wife, she is a four-star prince, and a phone call can block me!" Yan Zhengxuan got up from the ground with a smile and swayed into the guest room.
"Bang!"
Han Jiaren was startled by the sound of the strong slamming of the door, her eyes quickly turned red, tears slid down, looking at the closed door of the guest room, with tears in her eyes, she turned around and went to pour water, and then stood in front of the door and knocked on the door to bring water to Yan Zhengxun.
"Please, let me be on my own!
Yan Zhengxun's roar made Han Jiaren, who was holding ice water, stand in front of the door and cry.
