Chapter 40: Buying the Box Office (Part 5)
Generally speaking, a box office success will always have a celebration or something.
For example, the box office of "Sword Butterfly" broke 20 million to celebrate!
"Jingwumen" celebrated the box office of 15 million;
Since the filming of the movie, Pao Hui has not had a celebration party.
At the beginning, the box office of "Those Years" broke 500 million, and the company wanted to hold a celebration party, so he pushed it.
After all, when I came back from rebirth, Chinese films were booming, and there were a bunch of movies with a box office of one billion, two billion, and three billion every year.
Who's in the cold?
To put it simply, he doesn't like this box office!
Now I heard that the company was going to give him a 1 billion celebration banquet at the entire box office, and Pao Hui subconsciously wanted to push it off.
“… Brother Hui, Mr. Huang said that the company was listed on the 15th, and the momentum must be sufficient!"
Mu Hua has been following Pao Hui for almost two years, and he knows his thoughts very well, so he decisively blocked him.
“… Okay, I'll sleep, call me when it's time!"
……
The first movie in China to break one billion!
The recent limelight of "Men Should Be Self-Reliant" has spread to North America, and even Wu Jing and Xie Nannan, who are preparing to enjoy the happy world of the two in North America, have been caught by the ubiquitous Chinese reporters and 'forced' him to say his thoughts.
What's the good feeling?
Of course, continue to work hard and repay the fans.
However, Wu Jing's travel plan is obviously going to be ruined, and he will always attend tomorrow night's celebration banquet, and he is the protagonist!
Yaya also interrupted her money-making journey and asked the agent to quickly book a ticket back to China...
The media rushed to report, after all, it was the first movie to break one billion, and even the news program of the TV station took dozens of seconds to introduce the news that the box office of "Men Should Be Self-reliant" broke one billion.
"Human beings can't stop "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", which was released for 24 days and broke one billion at the box office!"
"What does it mean to break one billion behind the hot screen of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement"?"
"The box office of "Men Should Be Self-reliant" exceeded one billion, how was the miracle of domestic films born?"
"What is the "secret magic weapon" of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" with a box office soaring over one billion?
In short, as long as you turn on the computer, a bunch of news will immediately pop up, all of which are "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" with a box office of more than one billion, and of course, the news that Huiwen has a net profit of 250 million...
And then there's a bunch of reports from Chinese film researchers, reviews and stuff like that.
There are also many articles revealing the secrets of 1 billion movies, thanks to Xu Hui, his movies have fed at least hundreds of experts who specialize in Chinese films!
There are also many people of insight who think that series is king, so "Painted Skin 2" has raised the schedule...
In the afternoon, another exciting news came out: Xu Hui may join forces with Al Pacino to shoot a foreign language film...
Xu Hui himself admitted on Weibo that he had indeed reached a verbal agreement with the old man, and as for when the movie will start shooting, he Ze said that he would have to wait at least two years.
The fans of Pao Hui climaxed directly.
Al Pacino, the legendary actor!
When Bell joined "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", all kinds of welcome and encouragement in the industry sighed that Chinese films stood up - they can afford to use the Oscars!
However, Xu Hui made it clear that the movie was a foreign language film.
……
Pao Hui fell asleep in a daze, and Mu Hua informed him that the company had arrived.
Taking the elevator to the conference room on the fifth floor, he planned to explain what had happened in North America in the past few days, and then go home to catch up on sleep.
When I got out of the elevator, I saw a group of people standing on the side of the corridor and saluting him collectively, which made Pao Hui feel like he was crowned as Wang...
"Come, welcome to our 1 billion directors!"
Huang Wen said with an exaggerated smile on his face while clapping.
“… Thank you, thank you!"
Pao Hui was embarrassed and a little embarrassed, but he still accepted everyone's applause.
"How about it, isn't it cool? When the box office of your next movie breaks 2 billion, I will let them do it again!"
Walking into the office, Huang Wen said with a smile.
“… Forget it, it almost scared me, I don't know if I think I've entered some MLM organization!"
Pao Hui didn't mean to appreciate it, expressed his refusal, and said by the way: "Do you think it's easy to have a box office of 2 billion?"
"We believe in you!"
Chen Farong also followed the 'encouragement'.
"I can't say you guys, by the way, I have gained a lot from this trip to North America, with Al Pacino..."
"Got it, Cinema Paradiso, we read the report!"
Huang Wen glanced at Xu Hui, and stopped talking a little.
"Let's just say what we have to say, the people in the nest know the roots, and they are together from the beginning. ”
Pao Hui hates people who speak half-cut the most, just like some authors always get stuck out of chapter at a critical time, phew, out of chapter dog!
“… Xu Hui, what are your plans for the next film, can you tell us in advance? You suddenly announced that you are going to make a foreign language film, which makes us very passive in publicity. ”
"I only had an idea some time ago, and I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. ”
Xu Hui smiled a little embarrassedly.
It's a bit of a thing that wasn't handled properly.
The trip to the United States did not gain much, the awards were empty, except for the integration of good things with Jenny of the United States, but this kind of thing is not easy to discuss in public.
Soon, Xu Hui's matter had already been explained, Huang Wen looked at Chen Farong, and the latter spoke: "Cough... Xu Hui, a few of us discussed it, and wanted to see if we could increase the box office by another 400 million by extending the screening time..."
"You need a key to extend your showtime, right?"
Xu Hui didn't react much.
"Yes, the show time will be extended, and the screening time is 90 days!"
“… No, 400 million box office? What do you want?"
10+4, 1.4 billion box office, just more than "Avatar" 1.37 billion!
What do these people want to do?
"Look, now the box office of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" is 1 billion, and there are still more than 60 days of screening cycle, at least another two or three hundred million box office can be filled, that is, about 1.25 billion, we have a theater chain under our hands, and we can buy another 100 million box office at cost price!"
"Some time ago, someone suggested that we could do free screenings for public welfare, and add about 50 million box office results, which would be exactly 1.4 billion!
Obviously, the gang has already calculated.
The so-called buying the box office is that the distributor gives the movie tickets to his own theater, and the theater chain is himself, which is nothing more than handing over the money from the left hand to the right hand!
You only need to provide a cost price for the box office: a 5% film special fund, a 3.3% turnover tax, and then pay a 2% to 3% digital equipment fee, which adds up to only about 10% of the cost.
A box office result of 100 million, you only need 10 million to buy!
“… It's not good, if someone breaks out, it's a scandal!"
Cannon Hui is obviously not very much in favor.
At the beginning, "Monster Hunt" bought more than 40 million box office results, and was humiliated.
In order to pull "Super Seven" off the horse, Boss Jiang tried all methods...
Then, as long as "Monster Hunt" is mentioned now, the first thing that comes to mind is to brush the box office, shameless.
This has had too much impact on the series!
“… How could it be exploding, our own theater..."
Huang Wencai finished speaking, and then shut up.
Real-time recording of eye-catching data...
"Moreover, "The Lion King" will be released in June, if the box office fraud spreads, do you think it will affect the entire series?"
After saying this, Pao Hui suddenly thought of something: "This is your own idea?"
