Chapter 428: The highest-grossing Chinese film in Korean history

1.23 million people, that is to say, according to the price of Korean movie ticket prices equal to about 40 yuan, "My Sassy Girlfriend" won nearly 50 million yuan at the box office in South Korea last week, which is even more ferocious than the domestic box office.

If you want to compare with the original Korean version of "My Sassy Girlfriend", the current box office performance in South Korea is actually not superior, after all, the Korean version of "My Sassy Girlfriend" The final number of viewers is close to five million, and the number of viewers in the first week exceeded one million, which is certain, at most it can only be regarded as basically flat.

Even if it is just basically the same, Zhou Bai is very happy, because in addition to the core story of "My Sassy Girlfriend" he filmed, the cultural background of the characters has all been changed to China, so the behavior and habits of the characters have changed a lot, and it is unknown whether they can resonate.

The most important thing is that as the pioneering work of "Hallyu" in his own hands, Korean films have to be postponed for a few years if they want to set off a trend in China, although it is not enough to say that it can cut off the "Hallyu" trend, at least it can reduce the related impact, localize the story, and then counterattack back to the Korean market, which is so good.

"Is it possible that the number of moviegoers will exceed four million in the end?" asked Yuan Yan in surprise, his expression a little excited.

"Daughter-in-law, you calm down first, you must not be excited, if it involves your shoulder, it will be broken, it is not easy to recover a little, don't move. Zhou Bai was startled when he saw Yuan Yan's expression, and hurriedly said nervously, secretly blaming himself for not being vigilant.

Injury to the collarbone is a very troublesome thing, and Yuan Yu is a fracture of the collarbone, and the steel bar and steel nail are played on the collarbone.

"Well, don't worry, don't be so nervous. Yuan Yuti said with his eyes slipped, her collarbone has not completely healed firmly, and the current injured clavicle can only do some slight activities, and it was basically treated with caution before, but now it is finally healed slightly, and she is not willing to repeat it.

Even if there is another hand to move, Yuan Yang is lying on the hospital bed most of the time, and her body is basically fixed, and lying on the bed all the time is a very torturous thing, and now she doesn't know how much she misses when she can run and jump.

"Our preliminary estimate is that as long as there is no cliff-like decline, the number of moviegoers in South Korea will definitely exceed four million in the end, you must know that we are not superior to the cinema over there, the box office results were so good last week, and it will definitely be adjusted this week, so it is estimated that the number of moviegoers will be more this week, and there should be no problem with breaking through four million if there is no accident. Zhou Bai calculated, indeed, as Yuan Yang said, there is no problem for the number of viewers of "My Sassy Girlfriend" in South Korea to exceed four million.

"That was last week's champion, right?" Yuan said.

"Yes, there are no strong movies now, we won the Korean box office championship last week, and the next few weeks are basically stable, the team has analyzed, the trend should be similar to that in China, and the follow-up word-of-mouth fermentation will maintain the heat. ”

"Then didn't we get the first number of viewers in the history of the Korean box office for Chinese films?" Yuan Yu said with a smile, the number of viewers of "Hero" was already the largest, the first Chinese-language movie with more than one million viewers in South Korea, and the number of viewers of 1.91 million is already a very remarkable number.

All in all, the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in South Korean history is none other than Zhou Bai's "My Sassy Girlfriend", with more than 4 million viewers, it is definitely a difficult mountain to climb.

"Yes, it's certain to set a series of records, although "My Sassy Girlfriend" can only be popular in Asia, but after all, this is a youth love movie, and I am also very satisfied that the overseas box office can explode to this extent, and the reputation in Japan is also good. Zhou Bai nodded and said.

"Aren't we going to make a lot of money this time?" said Yuan with a grin.

"It can make a lot of money, there is no pressure for the domestic box office to exceed 100 million, Xiangjiang can exceed 25 million, the Korean box office is 160 million, plus the box office of other countries, the profit of the box office alone must be more than 100 million. Zhou Bai said with a smile, since its release, "My Sassy Girlfriend" has been popular all the way, applauded and popular, it's no wonder if it doesn't make money.

is just the box office profit, in addition to some shares of Huayi and the new picture, the profit of Bai Xiang Studio can exceed 100 million, plus other copyrights, the related profits are even more, just like the domestic DVD copyright, "My Sassy Girlfriend" sold for tens of millions, which is more expensive than Feng Xiaogang's "Mobile Phone", plus the money from patch advertisements and clothing sponsors, it is definitely a big profit.

Huayi also has new pictures mainly in terms of profit sharing in terms of publicity and distribution, and the share of film investment is actually relatively small this time, because the production cost of "My Sassy Girlfriend" itself is not high, but in any case, the better the results of "My Sassy Girlfriend", the more money they can get, and they don't have to exert much effort, small cost and big return, why not.

This is the windfall profit of the movie, it is not impossible to have a five-fold or ten-fold return on investment, of course, if the movie is not good, it is normal to lose all the money, and in the current film market, no one can compare profits with Bai Xiang Studio, who can invest in movies to guarantee all profits?

Let's put it this way, in the current domestic film industry, the box office performance of Bai Xiang Studio may not be as high as other companies in the overall box office, but the profit is definitely much higher than that of other companies, many people are simply envious and jealous, and even Zhang Weiping sighed that if "Hero" was not too popular, their company would really not be as good as Zhou Bai's studio.

The profit distribution of "Hero" is not all Zhang Wei's commentary, in fact, a large part of the investment is from Boss Jiang's side, which is why Zhou Bai will be with Jiang Zhiqiang, in addition to everyone's good relationship, Boss Jiang's strong capital and broad connections are also a very important factor.

"Is the studio making a lot of profits this year?" asked Yuan Yang, with an indescribable cunning in his eyes.

"Why do you want to say it directly, now that you're lying in a hospital bed, why do you care about the studio? You can't spend money. Zhou Bai tilted his head and looked at Yuan Xiang funny and said, looking at Yuan Xiang's appearance, there must be something.

Yuan Yang has not cared much about money over the years, she is not a very material person, and she rarely discusses the issue of money with Zhou Bai, and every time she talks about this matter, there must be other reasons.

"Hehe, I want to discuss something with you. Yuan Yu said with big eyes.

"Say, with your current state, what else can you do?" Zhou Bai couldn't cry or laugh, Yuan Xiang couldn't go anywhere after he was injured, he couldn't think that Yuan Xiang would have anything to discuss with him.
