"Take a look, it is estimated that there is no problem with the box office exceeding 30 million today, and the attendance rate is also very stable, and the audience's reputation is also very good, and it is estimated that the single-day box office is likely to exceed 40 million after two days of fermentation, so it is no problem to get 400 million box office before the release of "Avatar", Li Mu handed the statistical file in his hand to Chu Fei and said.

"With a box office of 30 million in a single day, the total box office of most movies may not be so high!" Chu Fei took the document, took a cursory look and sighed.

Indeed, in this era when it is not easy to exceed 100 million at the box office, 30 million is not a small amount for most small and medium-cost movies.

From the new century to the present, there are definitely not many domestic films that have grossed more than 30 million per year in the past decade.

There were two in 00, two in 00, and only "Hero" in 02.

In 03 years, there are three parts: "Mobile Phone", "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", and "Infernal Affairs 3".

There are five films in 04 years, namely "Kung Fu", "Ambush on All Sides", "No Thieves in the World", "Zhang Side", and "New Police Story", of which three movies have a box office of over 100 million, which is the first domestic film with a domestic box office of over 100 million after the movie "Hero".

In 05 years, there are eight films with a box office of more than 30 million, namely "Wuji" directed by Chen Kaige 1.8 billion, "Myth" starring Cheng Long 97 million, "Seven Swords" directed by Xu Ke 83 million, Jay Chou starring "Initial D" 63 million, Nicholas Tse starring "The Great Sage of Love" 50 million, Liang Chaowei starring "Hancheng Raiders" 41 million, Zhang Yimou directed "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" 30 million and Zhou Xun starring "If Love" 30 million.

From this time on, the box office of domestic films began to explode in an all-round way, with nine films exceeding 30 million in 06 years and four exceeding 100 million at the box office.

In 07, ten movies broke 30 million, three movies broke 100 million at the box office, and two broke 200 million.

In 08, this number reached 14, of which four films grossed more than 200 million, and it was the first time that a domestic film with a box office exceeded 300 million.

In 09, that is, last year, a total of 19 movies exceeded 30 million at the box office, nine movies exceeded 100 million at the box office, and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" opened the era of 400 million.

However, it didn't take long for this record to be broken by "Let the Bullets Fly" directed by Jiang Wen.

Although the single-day result of 30 million is already the current domestic box office record, after seeing the existence of those who will break 100 million, 200 million or even 300 million in a single day at every turn in the future, Li Mu will be much calmer.

"What is this, it's not too late to be surprised when a movie with a single-day box office of more than 300 million comes out!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"Bragging, how is that possible, if it is 300 million a day, the total box office is not five or six billion, you think it is a Hollywood blockbuster, there is no such high-grossing movie in China!" Chu Fei obviously didn't believe Li Mu's words, so he thought he was pretending.

Li Mu didn't explain anything about Chu Fei's words, just like when someone told him ten years ago that there would be movies with a single-day box office of more than 20 million in the future, he wouldn't believe it.

However, Li Mu remembered one thing, at present, the first-day box office of these domestic blockbusters is generally more than 10 million, but the total box office has more than 300 million movies, and the ratio of total box office to first-day box office has reached 20 to 1 or even higher.

Such a situation is difficult to see in the future, the total box office and first-day box office of most movies are generally ten to one ratio, only a few movies with excellent reputation will exceed this ratio, and there are even many movies that can't even reach this ratio.

There may be a quality problem with the movie itself, but the more important reason should be that there will be more and more movies in the future, and the audience cannot watch all the movies at once, so they can only watch them selectively.

"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, I also handed over the Asian distribution rights of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" to a neon company, with a 25% share!" Li Mu then remembered that he hadn't told Chu Fei about this matter yet.

Chu Fei didn't question why he chose the sharing model instead of buying out, but raised a new question, "Don't the other party know that we were released at the same time as "Avatar", how dare they still act as an agent, they are so optimistic about this movie?" ”

Li Mu explained, "The overseas release time will not be synchronized with ours, and it will be only 20 days before February 14th, and it will be too late to arrange the publicity and scheduling at this time, so they will postpone the release for a period of time, and prepare to wait for the momentum of "Avatar" to slow down at the end of March before arranging overseas releases." ”

After listening to Li Mu's explanation, Chu Fei was relieved, and he was not a fool to feel that others were not stupid, and then teased: "You didn't tell them to strive for a simultaneous release with us, aren't you very confident?" ”

"Confidence is also based on strength, I spent more than 100 million yuan to do publicity, how can I do it without confidence, if overseas distributors are willing to pay so much money, it is estimated that when the time comes, it is estimated that it will be promoted casually, at most, it will be released directly by posting a little more poster in the cinema and on the bus, and the most important thing is to rely on the theme of "Journey to the West" to attract audiences!" Li Mu said with a smile.

"But will audiences in other Asian countries really walk into the cinema because of the words Journey to the West, you can't help but be too optimistic!" Chu Fei was still a little skeptical.

Li Mu didn't know how to explain this, so he could only give Chu Fei two examples, "Do you know how much the two parts of "Red Cliff" sold in Asia!" ”

Chu Fei shook his head, waiting for Li Mu's explanation.

"In addition to the mainland box office, "Red Cliff" sold a total of 1.6 billion meters in Asia, of which neon accounted for 110 million meters, South Korea sold nearly 20 million, Singapore 6 million meters, Malaysia 2 million meters, and Thailand 3 million meters!" Li Mu gave a rough number.

"So much? Isn't that almost twice the box office in the mainland? This figure obviously calmed Chu Fei, and then said, "If you calculate it in this way, these two movies still make a lot of money, according to the ratio of 25%, that is 40 million meters, I thought that with the domestic box office of less than 100 million meters, I would lose money!" ”

Li Mu shook his head, "The investor is not a fool, who will do the business that loses money, and the investment of 80 million must have water, which is 50 million yuan in the sky, but their overseas distribution is bought out, and it is estimated that the income in Asia is 30 million, plus the copyright transfer of audio-visual products, and the specific figure is probably only known to the investor." ”
