Chapter 257: "Wolf Warrior" premieres
On Sunday, July 31, the day before the August 1st Army Day, the movie "Wolf Warrior" will premiere at the Workers' Gymnasium.
After half a month of publicity, coupled with the warm-up of "The Blade of the Country", the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie has been fully mobilized.
There are more than 20,000 seats in the Workers' Stadium, and 20,000 tickets were sold out within an hour of opening.
In addition to the 20,000 ordinary spectators, thousands of tickets were asked for by the government and distributed to various units such as the public security, the armed police, and the Beijing garrison.
Li Mu did not refuse the government's willful request, even if he wanted to, he couldn't refuse.
It's just that in this case, the box office will be high in the future, and some people will say that the army will charter the venue or something.
But it doesn't matter, there are many people who are popular, and there are more lice and they are not afraid of itching.
As August approaches, a month has passed since the summer vacation, and more than a dozen domestic films in July have come to an end, leaving only a few movies still in theaters.
In the past month, the box office of "Lu Bu" has successfully exceeded one billion, reaching 112 million, ranking fourth in the box office list of Chinese film history, second only to "Zhao Zilong", "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Havoc in Heaven" directed by Li Mu.
In this way, two of the top four are costume mythological films, two are historical war films, and the fourth and fifth places are "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" and "Thai Embarrassment" respectively, which happen to be comedies.
It can be seen that if you want to have a high box office, you still have to choose the right theme, and the wider the audience, the higher the box office ceiling.
This computer can easily be seen from "All the People Witness", this movie has a great reputation among the audience, and it is also a good film above the passing line in the eyes of many professional film critics, as evidenced by the fact that the Douban score remained above eight points for half a month after its release.
But such a high reputation only earned a box office of 520 million in the end, which was only possible after snatching a little film from "Guan Yunchang".
It's no wonder that "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is going to be made into a comedy, and "Detective Chinatown" is also going to be made into a comedy.
Speaking of "Guan Yunchang", the film's schedule has dropped again and again, from the initial 29% to 25, 20... By yesterday, the film schedule had fallen by 17 percent.
And the box office of "Guan Yunchang" was only 440 million in half a month after its release, which is not even as high as "Witnessed by the Whole People".
In other words, in addition to 19.8 billion in the first three days of release, only 262 million was harvested in the next 12 days, with an average box office of less than 20 million per day.
According to this trend, even the box office of 500 million is a bit hanging!
It is estimated that Wang Zhongjun is crying and fainting in the toilet now, regretting that he did not choose Huang Xiaoming to play the male lead in the first place.
However, only Li Mu knew that the box office of this movie was only 1.5 billion.
Even if you add the reason for the expansion of the market, the box office has tripled, which is enough to be worthy of Wang Zhongjun.
If it weren't for Li Mu to bring up the theme of historical war dramas, maybe even the current results would not have been.
But others don't know, now the outside world thinks that "Lu Bu", which has a relatively poor lineup, can have a box office of 1.1 billion, if it weren't for Li Mu's troublemaker, it would be inevitable that this "Guan Yunchang" would break 1 billion.
And Wang Zhongjun hates Li Mu even more now, with a box office of more than 500 million, and finally a little 800 million to Hua Yi, which is almost a quarter of Huaxia's profit.
With a total investment of 400 million yuan, the domestic box office has recovered about 170 million yuan, and the box office in Southeast Asia, including Xiangjiang and Baodao, has also reached about 1.3 million yuan, and Huayi in Europe and the United States has adopted the method of copyright buyout, and the buyout fee in the two places is a total of 26 million yuan.
Wang Zhongjun is a qualified businessman, in addition to chasing profits, risk avoidance is also a necessary ability of a businessman.
In this case, coupled with the share of 40 million meters in Southeast Asia, Huayi still made money in this movie.
40 million plus 2,060 is 66 million rice yuan, which is converted into 400 million yuan, which is just enough to pay back.
With the mainland's 1.7 billion plus the Internet, TV, and peripheral audio and video copyrights, Huayi can earn 200 million no matter how you say it, which is also a lot of income.
When Wang Zhongjun got this financial statement, he was a little lucky, fortunately he didn't lose all the money, but when he thought about it, Li Mu made him lose 200 million yuan in income, and he couldn't help but bleed in his heart.
For several other films, "God of Wealth Inn" has already been painted, and the total box office can reach 100 million, which can be regarded as a successful case of small and large.
The total box office of another Boener movie "Eavesdropping 2" exceeded 200 million, reaching 280 million, plus the 25 million box office of Xiangjiang, compared with the investment of 80 million, this movie also brought more than 30 million income to Berner, and it is said that Berner has begun to prepare for the third part.
......
Back to the premiere of "Wolf Warrior".
This premiere was very lively, but all this was done by the military, and it had nothing to do with Li Mu.
As early as a week ago, Minister Zhou of the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department found Li Mu again and asked the art troupe under the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department to send people to cooperate with the premiere.
Li Mu was full of slander in his heart, and what he said was good was cooperation, and it didn't become their one-man show when the time came.
However, at that time, Li Mu said that he could let the General Political Song and Dance Troupe perform, but Minister Zhou vetoed it.
What are you kidding, there are a lot of major generals in the General Political Song and Dance Troupe, and there are also a few old-timers who enjoy the treatment of the Zhengda Military Region, and the activities they attend are all kinds of political activities in addition to TV evenings, how can they deign to come to such a small movie premiere.
Well, the art troupe of the Propaganda Department is also fine, who asked Li Mu to ask the army for help when he made a movie.
In this way, a good premiere has become a stage for the soldiers.
What "Little Poplar", "Battle Song of the Strong Army", "The Story of Spring", "Snow in Saibei", and "Defending the Yellow River" all came over in one go.
Li Mu began to listen to a few songs and thought it was very good, the voices and singing skills of these singers are really not comparable to those stars in the entertainment industry, even Li Mu, a layman, can hear it.
However, it is really boring to listen to this kind of song with the main theme, and Li Mu can only talk to the person next to him.
"Chen Dong is smiling all night, he looks very happy!" Li Mu sat on the left of Chen Tianqiao.
The smile on his face has not stopped since they met, as if he had picked up money, and his eyes were not big, and this smile narrowed into a slit.
"Hehe!" Chen Tianqiao couldn't stop laughing, "It's still a blessing from Mr. Li, this movie makes me make a small profit!"
