Chapter 382: Self-Praise

"The Return of the King - Lei Juewen! 》”

"As we all know, the current Hollywood film market is the most mature, and because of the American economy, this is the largest film market in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the world's largest market. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As a film company, there is no one who doesn't want to break into this market, and everyone wants to make dollars. However, the U.S. market is extremely exclusive, and even the United Kingdom, which is also an English-speaking country, has a hard time making films into the Hollywood market. ”

"Hong Kong Island, before the light curtain film and television came out, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest were the largest film companies on Hong Kong Island, both of which had the idea of breaking into the Hollywood market, and Shaw Brothers failed, Golden Harvest was relatively better, because of the alliance with Mr. Bruce Lee, broke into Hollywood, and used kung fu films to earn dollars. However, since the death of Mr. Bruce Lee, Golden Harvest has not been able to see the road ahead, and the killer trench released two months ago has caused Golden Harvest to hit a wall in the United States, and we don't know how much Golden Harvest has lost in this film. ”

"Today, since the passing of Mr. Bruce Lee, another person has stood up, and that is the creator of light curtain film and television - Mr. Lei Jue Wenlei! Light Screen Film and Television, which was established by Mr. Lui, is now the No. 1 film company on Hong Kong Island, and the company's current investment in films has only succeeded and not failed. ”

"Mr. Ray also has ambitions, which is to break into Hollywood and make dollars. Under unbeknownst circumstances, Mr. Lui left Hong Kong Island and went to the United States, where he made an investment while filming a film himself, which is currently being screened. ”

"Chainsaw is a horror film, its design is very clever, the film is currently on Hong Kong Island for 8.76 million Hong Kong dollars, but this is not the theme of today, we want to talk about the film's achievements in the United States."

"Saw was released in the United States on October 31, which is Halloween in the United States, a holiday very suitable for horror films, and the film is scheduled to be released during this time period, which shows that Mr. Ray did not blindly enter Hollywood, but investigated. That night, Saw reported more than a million dollars at the box office, a small amount that was not too much. ”

"Since November, Saw has begun the road of box office explosion, reporting $5.017 million on the first day, $5.939 million on the second day, more than $12 million on the first three days, $5.052 million on the third day, $4.889 million on the fourth day, $6.957 million on the fifth day, $7.537 million on the sixth day, $10.083 million on the seventh day, and $46.518 million in the first week, a number to look up to."

"The box office of 46.518 million US dollars is not an unattainable amount for Hollywood films, such as the Star Wars 5 released this year has a total box office of nearly 300 million US dollars in North America, and Chainsaw is still a huge gap from this number, but as far as Hong Kong Island has been shown in Hollywood, 46.518 million US dollars is an admirable amount, whether it is Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest, the films they invest in shooting have never had such a high box office."

On the eighth day, the holiday season, Saw Horror reported $12.865 million, and on the ninth day, it was even higher, with $13.172 million, and yesterday Monday, the box office of the film dropped sharply, to only $7.327 million. In a total of ten days, Chainsaw reported $79.883 million, or $80 million at the box office. At present, the exchange rate between Hong Kong Island and the US dollar is 5:1, and one US dollar is equivalent to 5 Hong Kong dollars, 80 million US dollars, or 400 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"Through interviews with Mr. Lei, we know that the production cost of Chainsaw is about $500,000, the cost of publicity is $4 million, and the total cost is $4.5 million. We can't know what the box office share ratio signed between Mr. Lei and the movie theater is, but I think it will not be less than 30%, 80 million US dollars, Mr. Lei can get 24 million US dollars, and the profit is 20 million US dollars, which is only ten days of box office revenue, not counting the income brought by the surrounding of the film. ”

"A chainsaw horror, according to the current situation, the author can boldly guess that the film brought Mr. Lei more than 50 million US dollars, converted into Hong Kong dollars, 250 million Hong Kong dollars. The annual income of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, the author has no way of knowing, but the author boldly guesses here that the annual income of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest may not even be comparable to the income brought by Mr. Lei's film. ”

"Here, please let the author boldly say that Mr. Lei Juewenlei is already an international director, and he is also the first director on Hong Kong Island and the first director in Asia!"

On the second day after Lei Juewen returned to Hong Kong Island, the front page of the daily newspaper was a report on the achievements of the American chainsaw horror, and at the same time praised Lei Juewen personally.

"Did you agree to this report?"

The person who questioned Lei Juewen was a woman, a woman who had just failed in her career transformation, she was Lin Qingxia.

Lei Juewen and Lin Qingxia were lying naked on the bed at the moment, he was playing with Lin Qingxia's chest with one hand, and when he heard this, he casually glanced at the newspaper in Lin Qingxia's hand, and said: "Yes, every day daily is my industry, and without my permission, the news about me will not be reported." ”

Lin Qingxia looked at him and said, "This report is praising you all over the whole article and belittling Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, doesn't it matter?" ”

Lei Juewen smiled: "What can it do?" To tell you a secret, I have asked people to do a good job of acquiring the eight major Hollywood companies in the United States, compared to the film market on Hong Kong Island, I prefer to make dollars, after all, the dollar is more valuable, and the American market is not comparable to the small place of Hong Kong Island. ”

"You're not going to immigrate to the U.S., are you?"

Lin Qingxia asked with some concern, although she was unwilling to feel unwilling about the situation between her and Lei Juewen now, but the two of them can meet often, in the end, it is okay, if Lei Juewen goes to the United States, I am afraid that the opportunity for the two to meet in the future will be less, and over time, the relationship between the two will definitely fade, which is what she does not want now.

"No, I'll stay on Hong Kong Island!"

Lei Juewen shook his head with a smile, he was reborn in a lifetime, he wants to play with the beauties of the East, and he will naturally not let go of the Yanmar in the West, but now is not a good time, there are few American actresses in this era who are very beautiful, like Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts and other Hollywood actresses began to become famous in the 90s, and there will be a suitable goal after at least 85 years, and before that, of course, he will not stay in the United States for a long time.

"It won't be good!"

Hearing Lei Juewen say this, Lin Qingxia, who didn't know what Lei Juewen was thinking, couldn't help but feel a little relieved. But in addition to being relieved, she has an idea about the current situation of the two, for the situation that the two are sneaking around now, and hiding it from her two friends, she doesn't want to go on like this, which makes her feel very uncomfortable, and she wants to make changes.
