Chapter 185: The Great Competition

Chapter 185: The Great Competition

Watches are undoubtedly the most important in the film, there are a total of eight watches, four male NV styles, and Yanhuang Film Company has also launched four grades of watches according to this, namely youth, Jingying, VIP and limited. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAmong them, the youth level is also the mass level, mainly for the majority of teenagers, and it is also the main market, but the majority of teenagers have limited spending power, so the price of this model is also relatively low, as long as 49 US dollars. But it costs only five dollars, and there's a huge profit in it.

The market is mainly positioned in urban white-collar workers, and the price is relatively high, requiring $399. But its stylish style and chic workmanship are definitely worth the money. What's more, because of the movie's hot release, it has almost become synonymous with fashion, and this alone is worth $399.

The VIP level is even more expensive, at $2,999, but its market positioning is also very high, mainly for the gold collar segment. It can be seen in the film that this kind of watch is not only exquisite in workmanship, but also a style that integrates fashion and stability, which is very suitable for gambling stone gold collars and business bosses.

No matter what the limited edition is, as long as it is marked as a limited quantity, it determines its super high price, or in other words, the limited edition itself is synonymous with luxury. The cost of materials, workmanship and other expenses for a bag does not add up to 1,000 US dollars, but as long as the upper limit is added, the price is probably tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of US dollars.

Yan Huang Film Company is also very particular in this regard, handmade, limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide, 200,000 US dollars each. 200,000 US dollars is definitely a scary price, in fact, there is no shortage of rich people these days, they bring watches not to see the time, they bring grades, they bring face, 200,000 yuan is nothing to them. Moreover, "Million Dollar Baby" is so popular, this limited edition watch is even more well-known, and it is limited, others can't buy it even if they have money, you bring a piece in your hand, how face-saving is that?

Moreover, a thousand yuan in the world is not much, roughly calculated according to 200 countries, each country is only five watches, and there is no need to worry about sales. If Yanhuang Film Company is black, saying that it is limited to 1,000 yuan, and actually selling 2,000 or 3,000 yuan, there is no need to guarantee that it will not be sold, but in that case, it will be found out, and Yanhuang Film Company will produce luxury goods in the future, and others will not dare to sell it, because of its reputation. Therefore, Yanhuang Film Company will never put its reputation into it because of this.

In terms of boxing gloves, it is also divided into several grades, but the price is not high, the cheap is more than ten dollars, and the expensive one is only one or two hundred dollars. The other is clothing, which is basically aimed at young people, and the price ranges from $20 to $50.

There is also the soundtrack, which is not expensive, $16 each, which is a little cheaper than the singer's CD.

"Man, it's crazy" Liang Xiǎo Long was flirting with the three NV people at home, and suddenly received a call from Carl, a little inexplicable, and then he would also inexplicably scold: "Pretending to be crazy, selling stupid, not selling crazy." Carl rolled his eyes on the other end of the phone: "I mean, the company's products are selling like crazy. ”

"Be specific." Liang Xiǎo Long suddenly became interested, and he also thought about how much value he could create for the company after integrating so many commercial elements into the film.

"The report just came out, the sales from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., more than 60,000 youth-level watches were sold, totaling 2.94 million US dollars; Jing sold 8,500 British watches for a total of $3.4 million; 2,300 VIP watches were sold, totaling $6.9 million. Limited edition watches, there are also 174 four orders today, but there is no worry about not being able to sell in this regard. Carl read the report excitedly, such a hot sales completely exceeded his expectations, the first three watches alone, today a day to receive 13.24 million US dollars. If you add in limited edition watches, gloves, costumes, and soundtracks, the numbers are terrifying.

"Also...... Is...... Sell like crazy. Liang Xiǎo was dumbfounded, I don't know how to express my current mood, this kind of sales is really hot and unbelievable, and another point is that it is very inconsistent with the current situation of the economic crisis.

"Haha...... yes, it's crazy, and that's just the sales in the US states, and we're going to sell the product all over the world, and now I'm ramping up orders with watch manufacturers. Carl smiled happily and hung up, and the sales were booming, and he had a lot to do.

Cutting off the call, Liang Xiǎo Long told the matter again, and the three NV people were all dumbfounded. At this time, Sophie suddenly sighed: "I've heard before that a perfect commercial film in Hollywood only accounts for 15% of the total revenue at the box office, and I don't think so, but now I believe it." "Indeed, in Hollywood, as long as the film is not too bad, the revenue of other sectors will not be less than the box office. For some good films, the box office will account for 34 percent of the total revenue, but if it is an extremely good commercial film, the box office income will really account for 15 to 20 percent.

Just like "Million Dollar Baby", now these sections are selling hot, and when the film is drawn, it will also release CDs and TV paid on-demand, online paid on-demand, and the profits are also very huge.

Time flies quickly, and when it is fully popular, the box office of "Million Dollar Baby" in the third week has dropped significantly, and it can even be said to be a sharp decrease, but this sharp decline is based on its super high box office in the second week, which still won $68 million and won the box office list for three consecutive weeks. All told, the domestic box office is already as high as $288 million, and almost no one will question whether it will break the $300 million mark next week.

The overseas box office also had a certain decline, but after all, it was the second week, and the decline was relatively Xiǎo, still winning $110 million, and the total overseas box office has reached $262 million. The total global box office has reached $550 million.

"Crazy" All the people who click on the box office network are crazy, "Million Dollar Baby" can no longer be described by the word "robbery", it can be said to be plunder. That's right, it's plundering, plundering the cash in your pocket. But there is a reason for madness, and the madness of "Million Dollar Baby" is by no means a human being crazy, he has a reason, so what is the reason exactly?

His reasons are..., first of all, it is an extremely good work, which is also the premise of the box office, the quality of the film can't keep up, and the filmmakers still like it, unless everyone is stupid. Secondly, in the economic crisis, everyone is not happy, and in such an environment, the silent warmth in the film brings comfort to everyone, so people like it. Finally, it gives a lot of inspiration, the fighting philosophy in the film, the persistence of ideals, and the attitude towards failure...... All of these have given people who are busy in the economic crisis a lot of inspiration, as if they see a road, although this road is not in the film, but it is guided by the film.

That's why people love "Million Dollar Baby" so much, and the box office market has been fully revitalized, and although there is no supernatural phenomenon like Crazy 97, the box office of films produced by various companies has also been the way it should be. Pyra Méng Company also struck while the iron was hot, and launched "Sui and Tang Heroes 2" when "Million Dollar Baby" entered its fourth week, which seemed to have the posture of fighting with "Million Dollar Baby", but in fact, it was to promote each other and ensure the popularity of the box office market.

But in fact, this year's Hollywood is still a little sad, all the blockbusters have been released, and they have all hit the iceberg in the box office market and are silent, and now even if they have the heart to launch blockbusters, major companies have no films to launch.

Liang Xiǎo Long is the nominal screenwriter of "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties 2", and when the film is about to be released, he naturally has to appear at the premiere. It is worth mentioning that the actor of the film is this year's new Oscar winner, that is, Duan Yihong, and there are also a lot of Qin Qiong's scenes in the film, so Andy also appears as a supporting role in this play.

The box office of "My Leader, My Group" is as high as 1.03 billion US dollars, and the role of "Dead and Dead" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Duan Yihong won the Oscar again, plus Andy, a superstar who has achieved success in both film and audio, the influence of the film is not small, and there are more than 100 media who came to participate in the premiere, including reporters from domestic newspapers.

The protagonist of "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is Qin Qiong, who portrays the role of Qin Qiong from the perspective of justice, righteousness, benevolence, and justice, and received a very good response last year, taking away more than 500 million US dollars at the box office. And the protagonist of "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties 2" is another mén god, that is, Wei Chigong, and the fate of the two people is different, so it is impossible to force what Qin Qiong has on Yu Chigong.

In terms of the portrayal of the characters, the screenwriting team still respects history very much, and focuses on the portrayal from the two aspects of knowing the grace and reporting and the death of the confidant. Wei Chigong was originally a subordinate of Liu Wuzhou, Li Shimin led troops to fight against Liu Wuzhou, and Wei Chigong was captured alive because he was a peerless general, everyone thought that he should be killed, and it was always a scourge to keep him, but after all, the first emperor of the ages was a bold man, and he resolutely let him go. Later, Li Shimin was in danger on the battlefield, and Wei Chigong suddenly killed and saved Li Shimin's life. Moreover, Li Shimin's generosity and courage also conquered Wei Chigong, and he became Li Shimin's right and left hand.

Through the portrayal of such a plot, coupled with Duan Yihong's Jingcai performance, it is also deeply loved by filmmakers, and it won a high box office of $53 million in three days after its premiere. However, to Shirley's expectations, "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasty 2" did not top the box office list as expected, although the box office of "Million Dollar Baby" fell this week, but the decline was not large, and once again successfully won 55 million US dollars, winning the box office list for four consecutive weeks, and it is also the longest film in the box office list among all the films of Liang Xiǎo Long.

With the addition of $55 million this week, the domestic box office of "Million Dollar Baby" has successfully exceeded the 300 million mark, and the total domestic box office is as high as $343 million. The decline in the overseas box office was also relatively Xiǎo, which also had $96 million this week, and the total overseas box office has reached a high of $358 million. The global box office has reached a total of $701 million.

Seven hundred million, crazy seven hundred million, everyone thinks that Liang Xiǎo Long will soon break his own record, and there will soon be a third film on the box office list to break the billion mark at the box office.

In two years, two films with a box office that exceeded the one billion mark, Liang Xiǎolong's achievements are incredible, and even Cameron couldn't help but sigh lightly: "This is a terrifying young man, give him a few more years to update the new special effects technology, I'm afraid it will break the record of "Titanic". ”

"The scariest and youngest director in the film industry." After reading the box office list, Steven was speechless for a long time, his own record was broken last year, and by this year, three films have surpassed "Jurassic Park" at the box office, it can only be said that the current box office market is too crazy, and the current young people are too crazy.

"yes, my new record is coming out again." Liang Xiǎo Long himself is also a little dumbfounded, the box office has already exceeded 700 million, and it is not easy to get another 300 million? In fact, in the face of the ever-changing box office list, the heads of many companies and many filmmakers have been speechless for a long time, and it seems that the sky has suddenly changed in the past two years. And this is also the result of the commercialization of films, with the development of the economy, the box office of movies will only get higher and higher, and when we enter the 21st century, I am afraid that there will be a lot of films with a box office of six or seven billion US dollars. It's not like now, it's just a handful.

The frenzy of the movie box office has also led to the development of other industries, and the distribution of watches, gloves, costumes and soundtracks has also brought hundreds of millions of revenue to Yanhuang Film Company, of which a limited number of 1,000 watches have been released, and this piece alone has earned 200 million US dollars. It can be seen how huge the market value of "Million Dollar Baby" is.

The box office market has been revitalized, and other companies have released new films, including The McMillager Company (a Disney subsidiary) with the launch of this year's highlight, "Shakespeare in Love." McMillage is a well-known name in the independent film industry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the leading boss, specializing in making all kinds of films with a strong artistic flavor that can be wildly plundered at the Oscars, and this "Shakespeare in Love" is the bombshell they use to deal with the Oscars today.

Liang Xiǎo Long also regarded this film as the biggest opponent this year, and in his previous life, this film won 13 Oscar nominations, and finally won seven awards including the Oscar for Best Picture. If "Million Dollar Baby" can't suppress "Shakespeare in Love", then this year will surely be a tragedy at the Oscars again.

Therefore, in order to get to know the opponent more fully, Liang Xiǎo Long took three NV people with him on the second day of the film's release, and after dressing up in disguise, Hun entered the cinema.

"Shakespeare's Love History" is a bold imagination around Shakespeare's process of creating "Romeo and Juliet", a perfect fusion of fictional stories and blank historical passages. The story takes place in the summer of 1593, when William Shakespeare, a shining star in the London theater scene, faces a major crisis, he loses the inspiration to write, it was the era of Elizabeth I, full of colorful entertainment and interesting stories, but the great Shakespeare is exhausted, no matter what method he uses, no matter how much pressure the theater owner and creditors put on him, he just has no inspiration and motivation to write the next play, which is called "Romeo and the Pirate: NV Peach Thread".

Shakespeare needed an NV god to inspire him, but he didn't expect real life to reflect his creations, and he fell in love with an NV kid and brought him into the plays he wrote.

A sister named Viola disguised herself as a man and went to the theater to audition for Shakespeare, but the young Shakespeare soon discovered that she was an NV, and the two immediately fell in love.

But Shakespeare's luck was not so good, and although he wrote like a god, he had to face the cruel fact that Viola had to marry Sir Weiser.

In a fussy and intricate oolong farce, a jealous husband and wife's lover duel, a lifelong couple secretly **, and the young Shakespeare has to come up with a perfect ending for his play, but also for his own love.

"Shakespeare's Love History" is an emotional film, but the investment in this emotional film is not small, and the production cost is as high as 80 million US dollars. The consequence of the big investment is that it gives people a shocking feeling at the beginning, and the spectacular scene design of the Rose Theater, the gorgeous costumes of the actors, and the natural and smart film soundtrack all bring the audience an indescribable viewing enjoyment. Especially when Shakespeare was running through the streets of London, the history of the English Middle Ages was perfectly displayed, and people were speechless for a long time.

But it is not only the gorgeousness of the opening, such visual senses continue almost the entire film, such as the splendid royal ball, the xiǎo tavern where the lower class gathers, and the large theater with a large number of people, which can make the audience really experience the prosperity of British society and the living conditions of people from all walks of life at that time.

It can also be seen from this that the director of the film has put a lot of effort into history, otherwise it would never have been so perfectly reflected in the situation in Britain at that time. And this gorgeous skin alone has already made the audience's eyes can't take their eyes off, and the two xiǎo sitting in the movie theater will not feel bored at all. Without hesitation, I said that this movie ticket was worth buying, and although Liang Xiǎo Long was revisiting an old film, he also felt that this ticket was too worth buying.

Of course, these are just appearances, if you just look at these, Liang Xiǎo Long can even sort out the context of the whole play in one sentence, it is nothing more than Shakespeare and Viola went through a period of infatuation, which made the exhausted talents emerge instantly, which contributed to the birth of the script "Romeo and Juliet".

But this is just the appearance, if you just look at these, then this "Shakespeare in Love" is just an ordinary entertainment film, and it will never be called a great work.
