Chapter 341: Heaven-Shattering Demon Thieves

The first snow of 2010 came earlier than usual......

The Spring Festival of 2010 should come earlier, so the company's various annual summaries and next year's annual plans should also be made in advance.

There are many trivial matters of the company, such as the annual assessment of the management team, the completion summary of the company's annual plan, and the formulation of next year's annual plan. In the past, it was usually Wang Shang who opened his mouth and broke his leg below, but now at the end of the year, Wang Shang has no way to be too relaxed.

About 10% of the company's employees are foreign, so they have not yet adapted to the domestic Spring Festival holiday, which is another headache for Bihan's management team.

With the continuous aggregation of data, the revenue and profit created by Tianwang Group in 2009 also began to have a clear total.

In terms of movie box office, the total annual box office dividend is 8 billion yuan, and the profit is 3.5 billion yuan, but the box office of "Transformers" and "People in Embarrassment" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" accounts for at least 80% of the total box office dividends.

In the sale of various film copyrights, such as online sales, DVDs, props, games, animation, etc., the total annual revenue is 5 billion yuan, and the profit is 1.5 billion yuan, and various props and animation copyright props of "Transformers" account for the majority.

In addition to the above two items, Tianwang Special Effects has undertaken the special effects processing of dozens of Hollywood and Chinese movies, with an annual income of 3.6 billion. However, the profit is -600 million. Special effects are a big money-consuming hole, but as the film pays more and more attention to special effects, its income has gradually increased, and it may be able to turn around the profit and loss next year and the year after.

Tianwang Film and Television Group's annual income is very high, but the expenses are also very terrifying. The salary of the company's employees, the salary of celebrities, the expenditure of office expenses, taxes, the company's operation, various packaging, social relations and public relations...... In total, nearly 1 billion RMB was consumed in 2009.

In other words, in 2009, the net profit of Tianwang Film and Television Company totaled 3.4 billion yuan.

In addition to these, there is also foreign investment income, and the profit is 2 billion.

This adds up to 5.4 billion RMB.

It is not very far from the original profit of 7 billion.

However, if this kind of profit is announced, it will definitely shock countless film companies. Because most of the domestic film companies are now in a state of making money. Only about 20% of film companies are able to make a lot of money. As for the film companies that can earn a profit of more than 1 billion yuan, there are only a few large film group companies.

However, looking at the perverted box office of "Transformers", as well as "People in Embarrassment" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", two wonderful movies that have been released for more than 200 days, you can roughly understand.

However, Wang Shang will not be too public, and leak these things for some fame and fortune.

And those surveys such as the Forbes rich list also hate Wang Shang's approach. As the Tianwang Group is getting bigger and bigger. The box office of the movie is getting higher and higher. More and more people have begun to pay attention to Wang Shang's net worth.

At present, the most authoritative list of the richest people is the Forbes list.

Forbes is a world-renowned business magazine in the United States, with hundreds of millions of elite readers around the world. The influence has a wide range of radiation and a large span.

Its Forbes list and power list have always been talked about lists, and they were announced in March and April, respectively, and the Asian version was also announced at the same time.

Last year, Wang Shang did not enter the top 100 of Asia's richest people, nor did he enter the Asian power list, which made many people question.

And this year, with "Transformers", which is about to exceed $1.8 billion at the super high box office, will it be able to enter the top 100 of Asia's richest list? Is it possible to make it to the list of Asian power figures?

People throughout China are looking forward to it.

And the Forbes (Asia) headquarters is also under pressure at this time, and when Wang Shang didn't enter last year, many people sprayed, so the president of the headquarters this year directly called to put pressure.

“shirt!! The finances of Tianwang Film and Television Group are too secretive, and a lot of data can't be found! ”

"We can only use our experience to analyze and infer it, but its rise is too fast, and there will definitely be a big error in extrapolating from past experience."

Just when these Forbes staff were worried, the protagonist Wang Shang was pinching his temples at this time thinking about the plot of his new movie script, magic is too mysterious, Wang Shang doesn't know how to write it at all.

The movie script Wang Shang still chose the former time and space "Shocking Demon Thieves", which is gorgeous, carries a large number of magical visual impact scenes, and is full of suspense, which is suitable for Wang Shang's taste, and also suitable for the entertainment and relaxation tastes of the current fans.

The film is about four magicians who form a new team of magicians called the "Four Horsemen" and travel around the world, on the way, the four of them are both wise and brave, and commit high-profile crimes, robbing huge sums of money under the noses of live audiences in Paris, New Orleans and New York. But this is only the superficial thing, the deeper thing will be shockingly revealed at the end of the movie, the police boss who has been chasing the magician team is actually the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the magician team, and the purpose is to take revenge.

However, there are also many problems with this movie in the former time and space, and the reputation is mixed.

The editing is not good, the actors' performances are not in place, the logic is a bit confusing, the plot that should be dug is not dug deeply, and the ending is a bit pitiful......

A whole lot of faults!

It is precisely because of this that Wang Shang has to overhaul the movie, but Wang Shang is not what it used to be, and there is no problem with the adaptation, but it may take a little longer. And the 'Four Knights' was changed to 'Four Knights', 'Four

Originally, the plot of "Deadly Magic" was better than that of "Shocking Demon Thieves", but unfortunately it was set in the Victorian period of 19th century England, and it has a lot of cultural background that is very close to the plot, so it is not suitable for adaptation to China at all. So Wang Shang had to give it up.

The days passed.

On January 13, the Golden Globe Awards were held in Los Angeles, and Wang Shang took the team of "Transformers" on a trip and showed his face in front of fans all over the world.

The result of this Golden Globe Award is that "Transformers" won the best screenplay and best original film music, which are not considered awards, and Wang Shang's long-awaited best director and best feature film were won by "The Lord of the Rings" and Alfonso Cuarón.

According to the host's words, it has achieved an eye-catching box office and great response, and the best director deserves it. This time at the Golden Globe Awards, "The Lord of the Rings" became the biggest winner, sweeping most of the film awards.

And the day after the Golden Globe Awards were presented, the Oscar organizers began to announce the list of 2010 Oscar nominees.

"Transformers" was nominated for seven awards: Best Director, Best Picture, Best Soundtrack, Best Music, Best Sound Editing, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing.

Not surprisingly, "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" received more award nominations than "Transformers". In this regard, Wang Shang expressed his contempt.

On January 16, "Transformers" was released worldwide except for China.

On January 18, Tianwangying announced that "Transformers" would be fully released in China on January 20.

And after this release notice was issued, it immediately brought great stimulation to the domestic film market, and the movie-watching frenzy of "Transformers" was once again set off across the country.

"It's the last time it's released, and I'll never have a chance to watch it again, so let's go and cheer it on."

"Let's go, let's get in a group!!"

On the 19th, the seat occupancy rate of the more than 500 screens of "Transformers" was as high as 83%.

On the 20th, the attendance rate increased again from 83% to an astonishing height of 95%.

At 11 o'clock in the evening of the same day, "Transformers" finally issued an official announcement on the official website.

The next day, Tianwang Film and Television Group finally announced the global box office of "Transformers" - $1.85 billion.

After the data was released, many filmmakers have been able to deal with it with a calm mind. For such a perverted movie, get used to it, numb......

Two weeks ago, "The Lord of the Rings" has been released worldwide, with a total global box office of $2.03 billion, becoming the second film in the world to surpass the box office of $2 billion, and it naturally became the second largest box office in global film history, and it is still $150 million short of the first place "Titanic".

failed to surpass "The Lord of the Rings", I have to say that it is a great regret for the crew of "Transformers" and Chinese fans. However, "The Lord of the Rings" occupied the right time and place, and won "Transformers" Wang Shangxin was convinced.

Although "Harry Potter" wants to catch up with "Transformers", it has more than enough strength and finally released on January 28, with a total global box office of $1.72 billion.

At this point, the dust has settled on the global film and television total box office rankings.

NO1. (1997) "Titanic" $2.18 billion.

NO2. (2009) "The Lord of the Rings" $2.03 billion.

NO3. (2009) "Transformers" $1.85 billion.

no4. (2009) "Harry Potter" $1.72 billion.

NO5. (1999) "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Crisis" $1.03 billion.

The three 2009 films ranked second, third, and fourth, and led the fifth, $700 million, blinding countless fans and filmmakers around the world.

And failing to break the curse of "Titanic" No. 1 is also extremely regrettable, just a little ......

Uncle Cameron's title of king of the world is still pressing on the hearts of directors around the world.
