Chapter 200: Billion Box Office
At the end of March, the release of "Journey to the West" ended, but the countless records it created still remained deeply in people's hearts, and its popularity did not diminish because of the end of the screening, but with the opening of online video copyrights and the sales of DVDs, it went to a higher level, continuing the previous heat, which surprised the domestic film and television industry bigwigs.
And the biggest gain from this movie is undoubtedly Zhou Xingchi and Lin Qingyi, Zhou Xingchi relied on "Journey to the West" to complete a breakthrough in his acting skills, and there is no doubt that this brave attempt has achieved great success for him, as he said when he signed the performance contract with Lin Nan, he believes that this movie will become a classic, and now it seems that this movie really has the potential to become a classic.
As for Lin Qingyi, it is needless to say that she rose to prominence with the school flower beauty contest at the beginning, and then became the national school flower because she was valued by Lin Nan for starring in "Those Years", and became a domestic first-line star, and now "Journey to the West" is more like an advancement, not only to stabilize her status as a first-line movie star, but also slightly enhanced, because whether it is Shen Jiayi or Zixia Fairy, they are characters who can survive in people's hearts for a long time, and Lin Qingyi is the symbol that represents these two characters!
In fact, Lin Qingyi's success is not only because of the help and care from Lin Nan, but also because of her own efforts and talents, her acting talent needless to say, many veteran actors can't do what she does, as for hard work, will the person who can make Zhou Xingchi, a ruthless person, give a thumbs up?
In addition to these two people, the biggest gains are naturally Nanshan Film and Television Company and Hantang Media. Because the two companies not only made a lot of money because of this film, but also made a classic, is there anything more proud of a film production company?
In this long-lasting heat, the box office results of "Journey to the West" have finally been settled.
Forty-four million million!
This is really a miracle number that no one expected, the original box office of the movie in the first week was 298 million, according to common sense, many media and industry veterans have given their inferences, and the result of the inference is that the total box office of the movie should be around 800 million.
800 million, that is also a number that can completely refresh the box office record. No one thinks this number is underestimated. Because this is still a high number estimated by the media because Lin Nan always works miracles.
But now, it turns out that they still think the box office of this movie is low, and "Journey to the West" obviously did not follow the general situation, and its final total box office far exceeded the original estimate of 800 million yuan. It even broke the billion mark. There is no doubt that this will be a miracle that will be written into the history of Chinese film development!
It can produce such an effect. In fact, the biggest reason is that this movie has been hyped up too much on the Internet, and many people who didn't plan to watch it at all ran away later, plus many people even went to the theater to watch it a second time. As a result, the box office in the following weeks did not go as expected at all.
As the producer of this movie, Nanshan Film and Television Company can get 80% of the movie's profits, which is about 330 million after various taxes, and Hantang Media also received more than 80 million dividends, which made the leadership of Hantang Media feel more and more that the decision made was too correct, and fortunately, Lin Nan did not choose to give them 30 million directly, otherwise they would have lost a lot.
The profit of 330 million is enough to make any film company in Huaxia blush, because generally speaking, the profit that a film can get is actually tens of millions, and very few can break 100 million.
On the one hand, because in most cases, in fact, the results that the film can achieve are proportional to the shooting investment, and the box office is high and the investment is naturally a lot, especially the cost of publicity is huge, plus the theater side 45% of the box office share, the producer can only get 55% of the box office in the end, and also have to pay various taxes, and then the profit that can be obtained after deducting the investment is really very small.
But Lin Nan is an exception, all the movies he selected and shot before are basically low-cost movies, and the most invested is the 30 million investment of "Those Years", but with such a low investment, the box office results of the movie are better than the other, which also makes him make a lot of money.
During the filming of "Journey to the West", he finally had a blood and invested 150 million, but the final box office results were terrible, which also made Lin Nan still make a lot of money, and at present, the profits that "Journey to the West" can bring to Lin Nan are far more than that.
Different from the previous movies, the online video sales and DVD sales of "Journey to the West" are surprisingly good, with more than 20 million online video sales on the first day, which is almost half of the box office on the first day, and the most important thing is that Lin Nan can get 80% of the turnover of online sales after deducting the operating expenses on the website.
According to estimates, the profits that Lin Nan can get from online video and DVD sales will definitely not be less than box office profits, and it is even likely to exceed them.
That is to say, a "Journey to the West", with various copyrights, can bring Lin Nan a profit of nearly 700 million, of course, this is a relatively slow process, and it may take a year or even two years to achieve.
And what makes Lin Nan even happier is that it seems that because "Journey to the West" and Nanshan Film and Television Company are in the limelight, even with Nanshan Chinese Network has also reaped a little benefit, it can be seen from Gao Han's report that the current number of authors and readers of Nanshan Chinese Network is constantly improving.
To this end, Lin Nan also convened the company's employees to hold a celebration party again, one is to celebrate, and the other is to encourage the employees to continue to work hard.
……
After dealing with the matter here, Lin Nan set off for the United States with the embryonic "Resident Evil" script written by Jiang Lin and them.
This time he went to discuss a big matter with Twentieth Century Fox, so Wei Junbo also followed Lin Nan, after all, no one knew the situation of Nanshan Film and Television Company better than him.
As for whether he can talk to Twentieth Century Fox about Turnan, he is not worried, he believes that Twentieth Century Fox can get to this point today and will not even have this vision, and even if Twentieth Century Fox really has no vision in the end, Lin Nan is not impossible to find other companies to cooperate, the first to find Twentieth Century Fox, not because Twentieth Century Fox is the best among many Hollywood companies, but because it has always had a cooperative relationship with Linnan.
The people of Twentieth Century Fox had already received the news that Lin Nan was coming, so they also sent people to wait at the airport early, ready to greet Lin Nan and the others.
After getting off the plane, Lin Nan and the others were also a little tired, and the time was already relatively late, so they did not plan to discuss serious matters with Twentieth Century Fox today, but went to the hotel where they stayed under the leadership of those greeting people, ready to rest and recuperate, and then go to Twentieth Century Fox tomorrow.
Early the next morning, after Lin Nan and the others had breakfast, they went to the headquarters of the Twentieth Century Fox Company under the leadership of the employees who picked them up yesterday, and met with the current director of the Twentieth Century Fox Company, Adric. Langston.
Adric. Langston is a man who looks about forty years old, tall and thin often with a warm smile on his face, and looks harmless to humans and animals, but neither Lin Nan nor Wei Junbo dares to really treat this person as a herbivore, after all, he can become the leader of the Twentieth Century Fox Company at this age, Langston's own strength is undoubted, how can he get to this day without any means.
However, Lin Nan and Wei Junbo are not enemies of Langston this time, they have been seeking further cooperation between the two companies for more than 20 years, and what they have prevented for medicine is not to be careless and fall into Langston's trap, and finally worked hard for a long time to make a wedding dress for Langston in vain.
Although Wei Junbo is comfortable with the usual work of Nanshan Film and Television Company, he is a little nervous in the face of a big man in the industry like Langston at this moment, and he must deal with it very carefully.
Lin Nan patted Wei Junbo's somewhat tense shoulder, and after signaling him to relax, he began to say a few words to Langston, and several people were not idle people, so after saying hello and getting to know each other, they immediately started to talk about business.
"Mr. Langston, you must know the reason why I came to the United States this time, so what is your opinion?" Lin Nan sat opposite Langston, with a smile on his face, and asked in the English he had been practicing hard for nearly a year.
Although Lin Nan's English level is not very good, and his spoken English is not very authentic, Langston can barely understand it: "Mr. Lin, from my personal point of view, I am very willing to cooperate with you, your "Chainsaw" has not only conquered the audience but also conquered me, I think you are a very talented person." But I'm the CEO of a company, so every time I make a decision, I have to be accountable to my company, my shareholders, and my employees, so I have to be cautious, and I believe you can understand me! ”
Langston's words were very good, he first praised Lin Nan, and then said his original intention, that is, under the current situation, he could not decide whether to cooperate with Nanshan Film and Television Company, that is, if Lin Nan wanted to cooperate, he had to come up with more things.
