Chapter 866: Sixty-two million box office

The protagonist of the press conference is always the last to appear, and when Li Feiteng walks into the hall, the reporters are like crazy and throw all kinds of questions.

The backstage staff also hurriedly moved the ice sculpture at this time, so they couldn't waste everyone's time.

"Brother Cheng Long!" After Li Feiteng hugged the three actors, he lifted the cold red cloth on the ice sculpture in the eyes of everyone.

I saw a string of 62,000,000 numbers, and it suddenly appeared.

In the first week of "Immortality", there was a box office of 62 million!

The reporters were stunned, and it was really hard to believe that this box office was real.

Including the three actors, they all covered their mouths in surprise, who would have thought that a movie that would be completed in one day would bring such huge economic benefits.

Reporters scrambled to ask questions, and one reporter asked: "Mr. Li, I heard that the movie Immortality was filmed in just one day, is this true?" ”

Li Feiteng nodded and smiled: "It's true, the shooting starts in the morning and ends in the evening." ”

The audience was shocked, and everyone almost suffocated for a second.

This is really surprising, who would have thought that a movie with a box office of 62 million a week would be shot in just one day.

The reporter continued to ask: "Brother Cheng Long said that all actors are not paid, is this true?" ”

Li Feiteng shook his head and said sternly: "Of course not, Huang Shengyi is a Tengda artist, and she is paid for starring in this movie." ”

The reporters were in an uproar, and Huang Shengyi next to him immediately became the object of their photos.

And Li Feiteng's words made reporters ask again: "Mr. Li." So except for Huang Shengyi. The other actors are not paid. ”

Li Feiteng admitted again. He smiled: "That's true, this movie was shot by me and a few friends in my spare time, and the work itself belongs to me, if I want to shoot in the name of the company, in fact, just my appearance fee and salary will make this movie cost a lot, so I didn't pay any actors for this movie." ”

The reporters all nodded, and it was. If "Immortality" is to be calculated according to the value of each actor's salary, although there are only seven people in total, the salary of Li Feiteng and the five actors, I am afraid it will reach an astronomical amount.

But this also raises a new question, that is, has Li Feiteng considered the box office of "Immortality"?

Or did you think that there would be such a high box office?

The reporters hurriedly asked questions again.

In fact, this question is also related to whether the big brothers like Cheng Long will feel some dissatisfaction because of the box office.

It's good that the movie didn't come out at the box office, but once it has a box office, there is really a possibility that there will be complaints.

Even if it is said that Li Feiteng is Li Feiteng.

Li Feiteng responded positively with a smile: "At the box office." Anyone can only predict it, and I can only say so far. The cost of promoting immortality and the use of platform resources promoted by Internet companies do not have a reasonable statistics, and if you really want to achieve such a publicity effect in Asia according to a co-produced movie, the actual advertising cost will be far greater than the current box office results. ”

After listening to this, the reporters also understood the meaning of Li Feiteng's words.

Don't look at the high box office of "Immortality" now, that is because Li Feiteng has media resources and invests in publicity costs.

As various questions were thrown, the press conference went to the tail end.

At this time, four cheongsam girls holding a crystal plate came out of the backstage, each with 50,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash and a color book with stills from "Immortality".

Li Feiteng smiled at reporters, and also at the three actors, Huang Shengyi: "I am personally very grateful to every friend who participated in "Immortality", I promised Brother Cheng Long, if the box office is very good, I will send red envelopes, so this is a meager gift from me, in addition to 50,000 cash, there is also a painted co-production script of "Immortality", which has many photos of us when we made movies together, I am looking forward to the next time we can officially cooperate." ”

Cheng Long, Fa Ge, and Liang Jiahui all happily accepted the red envelope and said something to the reporters very seriously.

Cheng Long said with a smile: "I know that media friends want to ask some questions, that is, we help Mr. Li with 0 pay, in fact, several of us are using our personal time, personal identity, and have been recognized and recognized by the above companies, and we really didn't pay much time, just one day, so I don't want tomorrow media friends, in order to create a buy point, on false news reports, affecting our personal friendship with Mr. Li." ”

Fa Ge also smiled: "What Brother Cheng Long wants to say is basically what I want to say." ”

Liang Jiahui nodded, and he said: "It's a very happy thing to be able to participate in immortality and become good friends with Mr. Li, and I don't want the media to dig too much news at the box office and pay to create fake news." ”

Li Feiteng looked at the three actors and said this, and he was naturally very happy.

This is the end of Hong Kong's press conference.

On the premise that the mainland box office reached 62 million a week, after "Immortality" was released in more than 300 cinemas in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Singapore, the total box office on the first day also reached an astonishing 4.2 million.

At the same time, the release plans of Japan and South Korea were also confirmed, a week later.

The Lunar New Year in 2003 finally arrived in the unique movie "Immortality", and the Spring Festival file made "Immortality" even more popular.

However, because Tengda Film Group has produced other Chinese New Year movies this year, the cost is quite large, so the schedule of "Immortality" has gradually entered a reasonable state.

Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was released on January 22, and the film was a little later than in history, because Tengda Media was also involved, and the cost of the film was greater. Some special effects have been added to it. So it's more than in the previous life. Bigger piece a bit.

The main actors of "Hero" are: Li Lianjie, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Chen Daoming, Zhang Ziyi, Donnie Yen.

"Hero", as a real blockbuster of martial arts, became the second on the first day of this year with a national box office of 42 million.

It's just the first-day box office of "Immortality". It's hard for other movies to grasp.

According to the company's statistics on the box office of movies in 2002, "Immortality" and "Hero" are not counted.

From New Year's Day 2002 to December 31, 2002, a total of 106 films were released in mainland China.

Including foreign films in Xiangjiang and Treasure Island, there are 16, and there are 90 films in the mainland.

Compared with 2001, when there were only 26 movies in the mainland, the number of movies released this year is really tripled.

Of course, this is also because of a film and television support fund established by Li Feiteng in Asia, which was opened in four major cities across the country. A support program for college student directors.

It's just the total box office of 90 movies, which is not much. A total of 1.46 billion box office was generated.

If averaged, the box office of each movie does not exceed 10 million.

Last year's three foreign films generated a total of 356 million box office, so the total film market in 2002 was about 1.8 billion box office.

In 2002, Tengda Group accounted for eighty percent of the box office in the film market.

Let's take a closer look at the 2002 box office charts, and it's actually clear at a glance.

NO.1 "My Shared Girlfriend" has a total box office of 120 million, directed by Guo Zairong, and adapted Li Feiteng's online novel "And the Flight Attendant".

NO.2 "Skynet Project" has a total box office of 63 million, directed by John Woo and produced by Li Feiteng's drama team, a hacker-themed movie.

NO.3 "Looking for Cheng Long" has a total box office of 43 million, directed by Wang Jing, following the trend, and jointly produced by Tengda.

NO.4 "Just Classmates and Boys" has a total box office of 36 million, directed by Zhao Yanguo and produced by Tengda Investment.

NO.5 "Out of Amazon" has a total box office of 35 million, directed by Song Yeming and produced by Tengda Investment.

NO.6 "Human Comedy" has a total box office of 29 million, directed by Zhao Liangjun and produced by Tengda.

……

Compared with 2001, the Chinese mainland film market is still relatively prosperous, but in Li Feiteng's eyes, last year's film market was quite sluggish, because there is only one good movie in Tengda's true sense, and it is still a romantic comedy, not a blockbuster.

Tengda's foreign films imported last year included "Spy 1", "Ice Age 1", and "Men in Black 2", these three movies are naturally Tengda's films that Tengda has invested in Hollywood, and the mainland box office of the three films has easily exceeded 100 million.

Li Feiteng held a meeting at Tengda's headquarters at the end of the year, and he was actually very dissatisfied with Tengda's film and television income.

Tengda imported movies at the box office, and recovered 278 million RMB in Asia.

Tengda invested in the production of films, and 1.26 billion was recovered in Asia.

In Asia, Tengda Film and Television's net profit last year was about 1.5 billion RMB.

In Hollywood, Li Feiteng uses speculation to stabilize the $500 million invested every year, and the rate of return can reach 35%, that is, about $175 million.

One is a production film that uses a lot of manpower and material resources, and the other is a speculative movie, the difference between the two is very big, but the profit is almost the same.

Therefore, Li Fei was not satisfied.

In order to ensure that Tengda Pictures can drive Chinese films in 2003, Li Feiteng feels that he should care more about the film industry.

Tengda currently produces zuò, and the real blockbusters that will be released in the next three years are two "Wukong 1" 3D animation and "Kung Fu Panda" 3D animation, which consume all the capital.

The ordinary movies that are being filmed include "No Thieves in the World", "Mobile Phone", "Kung Fu 1", "Hongmen Banquet", and "Mythology".

The drama team behind Li Feiteng has actually written a lot of excellent works a long time ago, all of which are story outlines provided by him, but the market of Chinese films, the number of audiences, and the ticket prices are all things that need time to accumulate. (To be continued......)
