"The great orator, a Li Feiteng who stood in front of hundreds of thousands of people and used his talent and belief to awaken the ancient people, we have always believed that there is a god in his ordinary body. -- Excerpt from page 1768 of the Interstellar History of Chinese Civilization of Great Men.
……
……
Half a month later, Wukong was released nationwide, and only 22 cinemas opened the 3D screening of the film.
Tens of thousands of people queue up every day to buy tickets to watch the movie, 22 movie theaters are open 24 hours a day, and the ticket price of 150 yuan has become insignificant after Li Feiteng's personal speech and publicity.
The people of the country understand what kind of films they need to support.
Wukong Chuan, a work that symbolizes the important film industry in China, more than 2 million people in the four major cities listened to Li Feiteng's live speech, and they were very unwavering support.
"Third master, the box office on the first day of Wukong Biography exceeded 42 million. ”
"Third master, today's box office has reached 47 million box office. ”
"Third master, ordinary movies have been distributed to various theaters, and the ticket price is set at 15 yuan, and the group viewing is set at 10 yuan. ”
"Third master, we have 200 movie theaters today, and all the screening halls have been opened, and in the end, our single-day box office is - 167 million!"
……
Li Feiteng sat in his study at home, and his secretary told him that hundreds of media had invited him to interview him.
The reason is very simple, his "The Legend of Wukong" succeeded.
Achieved unprecedented success.
Ten days, it only took ten days, after the national box office was summarized. Exceeded 1.3 billion box office.
Ordinary cinema. Ticket prices are very low. People are pouring into the cinema, as if they have returned to a few decades ago, in the year when "Shaolin Temple" was released, the ticket price of 5 cents was already hundreds of millions of box office, according to that time, it reached 500 million views.
At this time, the ordinary ticket price of Wukong Biography was as low as 10 yuan. has created a box office of at least 1 billion, which means that within ten days, the 100 million people who poured into the cinema only watched Wukong's biography.
All movie theaters also play a movie in extra scenes and sequence, which is the Legend of Wukong!
However, the box office of 1.3 billion is not the end, Li Feiteng gave a speech to 2 million people, and these 2 million people have been passing on the national faith in ten days. Delivered to 20 million people, 200 million people. Then there are 500 million people, all the way to 1.3 billion people, almost everyone knows about it.
In big cities, small poor mountain villages, there are philanthropists who buy the copyright and drive a truck to the countryside to broadcast it, or there are directly projection masters, carrying bags, trekking through mountains and rivers, and traveling thousands of miles to those deserted villages, playing the legend of Wukong, telling the story of Li Feiteng.
The seeds of culture need to be spread in this way.
"I want that day, and I will never be able to cover my eyes again!"
"Don't you think this sunset is beautiful? I only need to look at this to keep going west every day." ”
"Death sees nothing, hears nothing, feels nothing, thinks nothing, just as you did when you were not born......"
The reshaped soul of the nation, The Legend of Wukong, a character played by a Chinese legend, even if this movie has some shortcomings.
But Wukong Biography has such a saying: No creation in the world will be perfect, but sometimes the flaws will be more beautiful.
……
A month later.
Li Feiteng strolled around his home, and he made a phone call and asked, "How much does the movie box office now?"
"So far, it has exceeded 2.6 billion. ”
When he heard the news, he was extremely happy.
260 million people went to watch the Legend of Wukong, and each person contributed 10 yuan, bringing a dawn to this film and the cultural spread of the national spirit.
And today, Li Feiteng finally went to negotiate with the Western film and television giants who had been waiting for a long time and couldn't wait.
In a conference room of Tengda Group, he looked at everyone, and the first thing he said when he walked in was: "Everyone, "The Legend of Wukong" has created a box office of 2.6 billion in our country, so you should make a bid!"
"We at DreamWorks are willing to bid $60 million for the exclusive rights to Goku's biography in North America. ”
"Our Universal Company is bidding $65 million!"
"Our Warner Bros. bid $72 million!"
In the end, Warner Bros. bought the exclusive right to screen Wukong in North America for $72 million.
In addition, including videotapes from other regions, as well as other rights, a total of $27 million was sold.
So far, Wukong 1 has sold a total of $135 million in rights worldwide.
"It's just right, it's just the cost that has been recovered. ”
Li Feiteng calculated that based on the current box office of 2.6 billion, after a total of conversion, it is worth 400 million US dollars.
And 400 million US dollars, even the cost of Wukong Biography has been earned.
Of course, he thinks it is very, very cost-effective, because a movie has built up the 3D film industry in China, such as the 3D film and television base, a 10 billion base, which can also create more value in the future.
The most important thing is that the film industry in China has already moved towards a real rise in the day.
With a rich industrial chain, and with more other film and television giants in the world, they will all go to Huaxia to learn from experience.
So far, in this movie of Wukong, the unity and consumption power shown by the masses have shocked the magnesium country!
Just imagine, in a very poor and backward country in their eyes, the highest annual box office used to be tens of millions of dollars to hundreds of millions, and the entire film market was one or two hundred million dollars, but this time in just one month, it created a box office of nearly 300 million US dollars, how shocking it is.
The most important thing is that after the Legend of Wukong began to be released in North America, the people of the magnesium country walked into the cinema and watched the Legend of Wukong. It's incredibly hard to believe.
"Hello. Do you think Wukong is good?" on the streets of New York. In front of a movie theater, a TV station is interviewing.
"It's so good-looking, Huaxia's movies are so good, Sun Wukong is so powerful, it's simply my idol!"
"Oh God, the Monkey King played by King Lee is really awesome, his golden hoop stick is 108,000 catties. It's incredible!"
"Huaxia's movies are really too advanced, and such a shocking 3D effect is worthy of being a movie invested by King Lee. ”
"I'm going to bring more friends to see this movie and recommend it to my classmates. ”
"Incredible special effects, I'm really scared, is this really a Huaxia movie?"
"It greatly exceeded my expectations, Huaxia's games, movies, and technology are so advanced, I may be ready to learn Chinese." ”
"I want to read the original English book of Wukong, I want to read the original story...... Oh sorry, I haven't really understood the story yet. But the special effects and the ancient times are really shocking......"
In cities all over the world, movie theaters are showing this Wukong Legend in a hot way.
A week later in North America. The box office exceeded 100 million US dollars, breaking the historical record of Chinese films.
It also broke the record of other films in previous years.
After the movie was released, there was a Wukong fever and a Chinese Chinese fever around the world, and more people wanted to understand Chinese culture and Chinese history.
In one sentence: Huaxia has brought a surprise to the world!
Yes, Li Feiteng bluntly used capital to smash a super blockbuster and shape his Wukong.
The picture conveys culture and feelings, which is very intuitive.
There are very few differences in national boundaries in this regard, so foreigners, after watching the legend of Wukong, even if they don't know it very well, they will also because of the experience of the advanced 3D picture of the movie, and the characters such as Sun Wukong, Tang Seng, Xuanzang, Zhu Bajie, etc., represent the important cultural symbols of China in their hearts.
Human beings are extremely sensitive to images, and they are also the most memorable.
A piece of text, unless it is particularly important, is impossible to really remember forever, and a song may be remembered for more than ten years, but it can never be remembered for a lifetime like a movie.
Li Feiteng will never forget a particularly magnificent movie, just like those wonderful scenes, that worldview, and the heroine in Resident Evil in The Matrix.
Therefore, there is no need for him to say more about the importance of movies.
"One film has reached an economic benefit of 600 million US dollars, and three films can exceed 1.5 billion US dollars, a total investment of about 700 million US dollars, and the net profit is 800 million US dollars. ”
With an average of $100 million a year, this is a very proud thing for Willy.
It seems that the money is not much, but the value and influence of cultural transmission brought by it can never be measured by money.
……
In the island country, a group of media is interviewing Zhang Guorong.
"Mr. Zhang, are you satisfied with your performance in Wukong?"
"I'm satisfied. ”
"Mr. Zhang, you already have a website with 3 million daily visitors in the island country, don't you know what you think about developing in the entertainment industry in the island country in the future?"
"Not yet. ”
"Mr. Zhang, we are very curious about the special effects technology of Wukong Chuan, should we use more of our island country company, or more magnesium country company?"
"Sixty percent of the special effects of Wukong Legend are made by Mr. Li's special effects company, which is our Huaxia technology. ”
"Hehe, this can't be, the special effects of our island country are the most powerful. ”
"Then you can wait for the company to make a statement!"
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be interviewed by you!" Zhang Guorong said two sentences, and asked the bodyguards to drive the reporter out.
The media of the island country were quite angry, and began to report all kinds of nonsense on the same day, such as slandering Zhang Guorong, insulting them, and scolding them.
Suddenly, the incident of Zhang Guorong's scolding of the island nation quickly spread on the international news stage, and the two countries suddenly fell into some public opinion controversy.
"Third master, what should I do now? The diplomatic side talked to me, but I didn't curse. ”
"There's no swearing, right, then you come back and have a press conference with me to make a statement. After Li Feiteng finished speaking lightly, he added: "You come back, let's scold together, scold publicly, and see how they are?" (to be continued......)
