Chapter 675: Set the tone
The Grandmaster's fist was not just a casual outstretch.
In the film industry, if the box office of a movie hits the street, the biggest impact is naturally the producer.
If the producer is not a listed company, then the impact is slightly less, and it is just to make the producer lose money or not make money.
But if the producer is a listed company, then the biggest implication is the price of the company's shares.
Such an example has happened many times in previous lives, the most famous of which is the previous life that made the investor Lian Nei. "Cut Throat Island", which lost all the pants.
"Cut Throat Island" was a movie co-produced by MGM and Carlock in the previous life, and we won't say much about MGM's name, but Carloch was also a fairly famous Hollywood film company at that time, just look at the movies produced under the name of this film company.
"Terminator 2", "Instinct", "Mighty Mountain", and "Total Memory" (Arnold Edition) are all works of this company.
As a result, this originally beautiful film company went out of business directly because of a "Cut Throat Island"!
There are also Huayi Brothers like China. "1942" produced by Huayi Brothers that year, because the box office was not as good as the two movies "Tangshan Earthquake" and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", the stock price of Huayi Brothers, which had been listed, fell directly on the first day, and even on the second day, its stock price fell by 6 percentage points!
Compared with the heavy drop in the stock price, the loss of the box office is nothing at all.
In the previous life, Warner Bros. released "Batman and Robin" in 1997, and the consequences were even worse than "Cut Throat Island".
Great director Joe. Schumacher's "Batman and Robin" not only hit the street at the box office, but also had a bad reputation. This directly led to the discontinuation of the "Batman" series, and also caused Warner Bros. to lose tens of millions of dollars, and even caused the stock of Time Warner, the parent company behind Warner Bros., to fall by more than 8% on the same day.
At that time, Time Warner, which was worth more than $4 billion in market value, fell 8% in stock price, which was a loss of more than $300 million!
This shows how great the influence of a big-budget movie on the production company and the parent company behind the production company is of great influence on the box office and word-of-mouth.
Similarly, if a movie hits the box office and has a good reputation, then the producer and the parent company behind the producer, the stock price will definitely soar!
This is also why Ah Zhu and Yan Tianjiao have always wanted to pull the Grandmaster into Yan Huang Tianlai, and they did not hesitate to give 10% of the company's shares.
It is no exaggeration to say that if before the release of "Forrest Gump", Yan Huang Tianlai was already a listed company, then with the super high box office and explosive reputation of "Forrest Gump", let alone the Grandmaster Film Studio, even Yan Huang Tianlai's stock price will definitely be able to soar for a period of time.
Especially as the box office of "Forrest Gump" continues to break through the psychological threshold of 2 billion Chinese yuan, 3 billion Chinese yuan, and 4 billion Chinese yuan, Yan Huang Tianlai's stock price will definitely follow the upward trend section by section.
That's what the flag does!
According to the world's film market, the Grandmaster is very sure that the box office of the two movies "Terminator 1" and "Independence Day" will be a big hit, even if it is not as good as "Forrest Gump", but the total box office of the two movies together will definitely not be lower than the box office of "Forrest Gump".
You know, in the previous life James. When Cameron was filming "Terminator 1", there were no computer special effects at all. Cameron relied on the very immature special effects technology of "Terminator 1" and finally won 78 million at the global box office with a production cost of $6.4 million! That's $78 million in 1984, which is worth more than $780 million today!
As for "Independence Day", it's even more! With a production cost of $75 million, Emmerich finally made this VFX blockbuster grossing $817 million at the global box office, and at the same time made the film a sci-fi disaster classic that is difficult to beat!
If the Grandmaster had used the current excellent computer performance to produce even better computer effects, then these two movies would undoubtedly be even better!
The most important thing is that "Terminator 1" was released in 1984 and "Independence Day" was in 1996.
Forrest Gump has proven it!
That's why the Grandmaster stretched out this fist with full confidence.
Looking at this fist, the corners of Ah Weld and Yan Tianjiao's mouths were about to flow out......
"I said, can you two have some fun?" The Grandmaster reluctantly called these two goods back from their fantasies. "Let's talk about it first, you don't have to worry about the production of the film, but you must put the distribution of these two movies in place for me, if I am not satisfied, my buddy will have an excuse to be tired in the second half of next year and take another year off!"
"Hey, let's not play like this, okay? This movie hasn't been made yet, so the threat is used? Ah Jian said with a white face.
"Fourth brother, don't say anything, just look at my work with Ah Weld!" Yan Tianjiao is full of confidence.
The Grandmaster smiled, and the three of them continued to drink.
The noon meeting was actually very successful, and the three of them set a lot of things in the middle of talking and laughing, setting the tone for the development of the second half of the year and next year.
When he returned home in the afternoon, the Grandmaster found that Fang Zhengying was waiting for him at home.
"I'm sorry, as soon as I got off the plane, I was dragged by Yan Lao Liu and Ah Weld to drink. Baby, I miss you......" In the hug, the Grandmaster whispered in Fang Zhengying's ear.
The warm tone made Fang Zhengying's neck redden.
"I know this, I know that you are talking about business, so I didn't go there." Fang Zhengying kissed the Grandmaster's lips, "I'm tired, I guess you're coming back soon, hot water has been put in the bathroom, you hurry up and take a hot shower, take a good pour for the jet lag, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Hehe, daughter-in-law, this is still a back-rubbing person, why don't you accompany me to wash ......"
"Go to the ...... Adults know how to think about these nonsense things. Fang Zhengying angrily slapped her boyfriend's chest, and gently pushed it and said, "Hurry up and take a shower, the smell of wine is terrible......
The grandmaster laughed and took off his shirt in front of his girlfriend, revealing his muscular tendons, and muttered, "It's all old husbands and wives, why are you still so shy?" ”
Although the two of them were already very familiar, Fang Zhengying was still blushing.
"Hurry up and take a bath, don't be poor here, Sister Wang will come back from shopping for vegetables in a while, let Sister Wang see that it's not ......"
"Okay daughter-in-law, for the sake of your husband, I'm going to wash my name, you wait for me...... Hahahaha......"
