Chapter 748: Crooked Nuts Can't Read
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" was finally released a month later, and the final box office still made many Chinese people feel pity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Searching for the Dragon" broke the record in Chinese film history, the final total box office was only close to 900 million, and it did not become the first film in China to break through the box office of 1 billion as previously predicted by the media.
However, the box office of nearly 900 million Chinese dollars is also the first film to break the box office of 100 million US dollars in the Chinese market, which still makes the eyes of countless foreign film and television companies widen.
The Chinese film market has become the world's second largest box office, and the North American market has begun to weaken this year, although there has not been a reverse growth, but the growth rate has shrunk significantly compared with last year.
This means that the Chinese film market is likely to grow into the world's No. 1 film box office in the future.
The most intuitive impact is that several recent Hollywood blockbusters have appeared Chinese faces, and obviously, Hollywood film companies have also begun to increase their efforts to please Chinese audiences.
Because although there have been many Hollywood movies with Chinese actors in the past, they are all inconsequential roles, but with the box office explosion of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", in Hollywood movies, Chinese actors are no longer inconsequential roles.
And the VAM agreement also had a result after "Ghost Blows the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" was removed in Huaguo.
Jushi Pictures spent a huge amount of $26 million to win the European and American distribution rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Searching for the Dragon".
In fact, the influence of the highest-grossing film in Chinese film history is still very great, and many filmmakers in Europe and the United States are very interested in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", but unfortunately, seeing the price of 26 million US dollars, it is obviously a little beyond their range of interest.
And at this moment, Arenas of Boulder Pictures is also painful and happy.
Pain, naturally distressed by the price of 26 million US dollars, this price really can't be said to be a loss or a profit for the time being.
There are also many people in China who are puzzled by Ye Qiu's sale of the distribution rights with this figure, and some people have calculated an account, 26 million US dollars, how much box office is needed to recover the cost.
In the end, it was concluded that Arenas made money, because Jushi Pictures has distribution channels and is responsible for its own publicity, which can save a lot of trouble and costs.
Basically, as long as "Ghost Blows the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" can achieve a box office of 60 million in North America, then it will be able to return to its original cost, and all of it will be earned in Europe.
In this way, Ye Qiu's sale of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" like this is indeed a cheap sale.
But the account can't be calculated like this, after all, if it is a cooperative release, then to get a share of 26 million US dollars, at least the box office must be over 150 million US dollars, and it can be achieved.
For a while, it was difficult to say who made and who lost.
For Arenas, the money has already been spent, and this time is different from the past, he has no possibility of defaulting on the debt, so he can only hope for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon".
North American audiences are still very curious about this highest-grossing film in Chinese film history.
Reluctant that the child couldn't trap the wolf, Arenas waved his hand, since he had already spent so much money, he simply played a big one.
Jushi Pictures gave another $10 million in publicity expenses to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon".
Many Chinese media and commentators are paying attention to the situation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" in North America.
Since "Ghost Blows the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" has already been bought by Jushi Pictures, it is natural that it will no longer make a fuss like the previous release of Chinese films.
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" opened with 1,000 screens in North America, which can be said to be unprecedented.
As a result, the box office on the first day of release was 6 million US dollars, which made Arenas smile with a smile.
Many media in China also began to report the news, and some media finally found an opportunity to satirize Ye Qiu.
Because of the first-day box office of $6 million for 1,000 screens, according to the normal box office trend of the movie, it will be released on Friday, and it will definitely exceed this number on Saturday, so the box office in the first three days is likely to break 20 million.
And the next week will definitely increase the number of films, which means that Jushi Pictures can even directly recover its costs through the North American market, that is to say, Ye Qiu, a winning general, has finally made a loss-making business.
However, just when the media began to question Ye Qiu's final loss, the box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" on Saturday was freshly released, and with the addition of more than 200 screens, it did not rise but fell.
only got more than 4 million at the box office, and on Sunday, it fell again and only got less than 3 million at the box office.
A lot of people are dumbfounded and don't understand why this is happening.
However, the comments of North American film critics and netizens have revealed the answer, as Ye Qiu said before, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" is a little unsuitable.
Because even the film critics, a relatively professional group, said that they couldn't understand many things in this film, such as people lighting candles, ghosts blowing out lights, such as those gossip techniques, such as dragon hunting, many people looked confused.
Also, the dissatisfaction with the plot, the environment in North America and China is different, they don't understand it, why, it's obviously a tomb robbery, it's obviously a ghost, but the result is a hallucination, it's too nonsense, right?
If they understand Chinese, I am afraid that they will directly use the sheep's head to sell dog meat.
As a result, the box office fell sharply.
And there is another key factor, that is, "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern" has tens of millions of fans in China, and these people are the basis for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" to get such a high box office, but in North America, how can there be any fans of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?
Most of them were able to walk into the theater because they were curious about what the highest-grossing film in Chinese film history was, but the result was that they couldn't understand it.
itself has no fan base, and for North American audiences with relatively simple brain circuits, there are too many things in this film that make people stupid and indistinguishable, and there are too many things that they can't understand, so Arenas is dumbfounded.
The media in China were also dumbfounded.
The North American market has always been the vane of the European film market, North Americans can't understand it, and you don't expect Europeans of the same race to understand it.
At this moment, the media, who had no discipline, forgot their previous doubts, and began to praise Ye Qiu one after another, worthy of being a gold saint, and he really never made a loss-making deal.
Selling the distribution rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" in Europe and the United States for 26 million US dollars is definitely a big profit.
On the other hand, Jushi Pictures invested 36 million US dollars before and after, but as a result, the total box office in North America was worth more than 20 million US dollars, which is already good for a Chinese film, but think about how much it has invested, this is definitely the biggest loss of Jushi Pictures.
Sure enough, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" can still get a box office of 20 million US dollars in North America, but in Europe, many countries are directly off the file after the test screening, and they don't even enter the release stage, because they can't understand it.
