Chapter 138: 700 million box office
On May 28, "The King of Black Fighters", which was released for nearly 40 days, was finally fully drawn in cellular theaters, and the final score was 700 million and 1.22 million.
Originally, it was difficult for the box office of "Black Boxer" to break 700 million, but a month after its release, the Cellular Cinema saw that the box office had reached more than 692 million, and the Cellular Cinema Chain, which wanted to shoot the second part of "The Black Boxer", temporarily decided to extend the release time of "The Black Boxer" on a small scale.
is bound to get 700 million box office before stopping.
If "The Black Boxer" can get 700 million at the final box office, then when the second part is about to be released, the first part of "The Black Boxer" can be publicized to the outside world with a box office of more than 700 million, otherwise it will be more than 600 million, even if it is more than 690 million, it will still be more than 600 million.
Under this decision, "Black Boxer" finally continued to be screened in 30 theaters of the cellular cinema chain for another 8 days, and finally sold more than 700 million at the box office.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, every year there will be several movies in order to break a certain box office figure, and deliberately extend the release time, when the news of the box office of "Black Boxer" broke 700 million, the media really brushed another wave of news about the box office of "Black Boxer".
The headline of the news posted on Xinxin.com reads: "700 million achievements!"
"Film Weekly" wrote: "A pure urban kung fu film, won 700 million box office, its success should be in the word 'pure'! Because it is pure enough, so when watching this movie, you can't find much that has nothing to do with the plot of the movie. Slowly dissipating, a director who is serious about filming because of his dream, plus a protagonist who is serious and hard-working and a group of dedicated and hard-working supporting actors, from the very beginning, it is destined that the quality of this movie will not be very bad! So it can win 700 million box office, although it is unexpected, carefully analyzed, but it is reasonable!"
In CCTV's "Movie of the Week", the host commented: "It is understood that the total investment of the movie "Black Boxing" is indeed only 15 million, and more than ninety percent of the fighting scenes and effects in the play are real, and most of the special effects shots are optimized for the scenery, and the only special effects shots make the picture of this movie more beautiful, so that the audience can watch the movie better, and the movie "Black Boxing" can finally win 700 million box office, which fully shows that a good movie does not necessarily need a big investment, and the most important thing is to be careful!"
……
For several days, major news media have successively reported the news about the box office of "Black Boxing" of 700 million, with some comments, most of which are positive.
According to Yang Qi's understanding, there is also the role of the cellular cinema chain in the back, for the cellular cinema chain, the first part of "The Black Boxer" will be held higher, and when the second part is released, it will definitely have a bonus to the box office.
The main reason why Cellular Cinemas is working so hard is that the script of the second part has been handed to Yang Qi, and Yang Qi has nodded and agreed to act.
The script of the second part is no longer written by Wen Tongren, but written by Xizi, a cutting-edge screenwriter hired by Cellular Cinemas.
As Yang Qi nodded and agreed to star after reading the script, "Black Boxer 2" has been quickly established, and the investor and investment amount have also been quickly determined.
Honeycomb Cinema Line, Chuyang Studio, Sister Tao Record Company, Wen Tongren, and Yang Qi are jointly funded.
Among them, the honeycomb cinema line invested 20 million, accounting for 40% of the share.
Chuyang Studio invested 10 million, accounting for 20% of the share.
Sister Tao Records, Wen Tongren and Yang Qi also invested 10 million, each accounting for 20% of the share.
Chuyang Studio is the personal studio of actor Chuyang, in addition to Chuyang himself, there are also more than a dozen stars. The reason why the investor has Chuyang Studio this time is because the relationship between Chuyang Studio and Cellular Cinema is very close, and Chuyang Studio and Honeycomb Cinema have cooperated and invested in many film and television dramas.
In addition to Yang Qi, the starring role of "Black Boxer 2", which has been confirmed to play the leading role, another important role that has been confirmed will also be played by Chu Yang.
In the script of "The King of Black Fighters 2", there is a big villain, the role is very heavy, Chu Yang takes over this role, to put it simply, the second part will be played by Chu Yang and Yang Qi.
In addition, the heroine was also finalized to be played by a popular actress from Chuyang Studio.
Because of the above reasons, the investor of the second part has an additional Chuyang Studio.
The reason why he was able to participate in the investment in the first part was because neither Wen Tongren, who was the director, nor Yang Qi, who was the actor, was not famous at that time.
At the same time, whether it is Wen Tongren, Yang Qi or Sister Tao Records, there is a lack of funds in hand.
But now the situation is completely different for the second part, whether it is Wen Tongren, Yang Qi or sister Tao Records, they are all well funded, and the box office of the first part is more than 700 million, and each of them can share tens of millions of nearly 100 million in revenue.
What's more, the second part also has a wealthy cellular cinema line and a well-funded Chuyang Studio to participate in the investment, with a total investment of 60 million, if it is not for better operation and promotion of this movie, this money, any of these five parties can invest alone.
……
The box office share, Yang Qi has not yet gotten it, and he doesn't know how much it will be for the time being.
However, he has made a lot of money recently, because with the popularity of "The Black Boxing", there are more people looking for him to endorse and shoot advertisements, and there are all kinds of messy advertisements.
Advertisements such as boxing gloves, sneakers, sportswear, and mineral water are quite serious, after all, these can be somewhat linked to his current status as an action star.
But like underwear and toilet paper, they also asked him to shoot commercials, which was a bit speechless.
Finally, after consulting him, the company helped him selectively pick a few items.
A mobile phone endorsement, a new brand of boxing gloves, sandbags and other series of product endorsements, as well as sneakers, sportswear, mineral water.
The others were pushed.
First, the products that have recently come to the door to seek cooperation are not suitable for Yang Qi's endorsement, another reason is, of course, the issue of endorsement fees, and the last reason is that Yang Qi can only barely spare time to shoot these endorsement advertisements recently, the filming schedule of "The Ugly Swordsman" is very intensive, and the crew will go out on location next week to shoot some scenes in Dali.
In addition, at the beginning of June, the second season of "Million New Voices" launched by Hengdian Satellite TV will officially start, and an agreement has been signed with Sister Tao Records in advance, and on the first day of the second season of "Million New Voices", Yang Qi, the lead singer of the champion band in the first season, will perform on stage.
This was decided before the release of "The King of Black Fighters", and Yang Qi's share of the appearance fee has already been obtained, so if you don't go, you can't do it.
