Some people care about the box office record of "Mermaid" being ended by "Fairy Fury", some people care that the "Fairy Fury" movie re-established a new box office record with animation works, and many more people care about how much the box office of the "Fairy Fury" movie can reach! Is it really possible to break through 3 billion!

In the past, even those who supported "Fairy Fury" did not think that the "Fairy Fury" movie could break through the box office of 3 billion, but the "Fairy Fury" movie had an inherent disadvantage in terms of subject matter.

This disadvantage is difficult to change because of a certain person or a certain movie, to put it simply, in the eyes of many people, animation is just something for children, childish, rough, and without content.

Especially in the Chinese animation industry, since "Xiyangyang and Big Big Wolf" and "Balala Little Demon Fairy" became popular, most adults have completely despaired of animation. What they want to watch is blood, fighting, not a bunch of mentally handicapped guys selling cuteness on TV.

Not to mention domestic animation works, as long as these words are typed, many people will directly equate them with bad movies in their hearts. It's okay to fool around minors, who is a real adult who wants to waste a few hours in the cinema, and it is better to sing and talk about girls when you have that time!

Reality movies are different, whether it's a comedy, a tragedy, or even a kung fu movie, even if the plot is not very good, you can still look at the stars, and watching the stars sell cute jokes on the screen is much more interesting than watching a group of mentally retarded two-dimensional people, right? In comparison, it is natural that reality movies can attract a larger audience.

Therefore, Xing Ye's "Mermaid" created all kinds of miracles and did not surprise the filmmakers, in their research, the box office of "Mermaid" will definitely not be too bad, at least it can be comparable to "Monster Hunt".

You must know that before "The Mermaid", "Monster Hunt" created the highest box office record for domestic films, shocking the entire investment circle with a total box office of 2.7 billion. Excited the entire film circle.

Regardless of industry or finance, the pursuit of investment is to make money. And now the high box office of "Monster Hunt" has made a group of investors see a more profitable place outside the financial industry, that is, the film industry.

According to the official report, "Monster Hunt" took more than two years from creation to release, and the total cost was three or four hundred million. Even so, the total box office of 2.7 billion has at least eight times the income.

The 800% profit margin is quite attractive, and what is even more attractive is that movies are different from other industries, many hot money industries are basically a one-shot deal, and it is difficult to form a second hot money for a period of time after the end, or even just one chance.

Movies are different, in addition to the box office, movie peripheral products will also bring profits. Play online. Overseas box office and peripheral products will bring a lot of benefits to investors. In particular, as long as the audience likes it, the film company can shoot a sequel, which is what the film company cares about the most.

Why do many movies nowadays have open-ended endings? This situation is completely learned from Hollywood, regardless of the quality of the film, regardless of the production cost. Hollywood movies usually have an open-ended ending!

Why? Is it because of the filmmaker's literary and youthful style, wanting to leave more room for the audience to think? Of course not. To be honest, except for a few thinking movies, many Hollywood movies are completely popcorn movies. is the same as Xiaobai Shuangwen, the pursuit is cool, as for whether the plot is rigorous and whether the writing is outstanding. It doesn't matter at all.

Hollywood movies are like this, the pursuit of visuals, the pursuit of effects. Since it doesn't have much connotation, the purpose of leaving the open-ended ending is to shoot a sequel.

There is a very interesting situation in the film industry, I don't know when a batch of dark horses will appear. There is no high cost. There is no big publicity, and there are not even famous stars, but it turns out to be a high box office. Although this kind of dark horse is rare, one or two will appear every year.

For film companies, as long as there is a dark horse, it is a big profit, and the profit margin will be more than ten times. And how to identify the dark horse? Even professional film companies can't do it, after all, they can only make movies, whether the film will be accepted or not, will be affirmed by the market, the only factor is in the hands of the audience, and they can't influence the audience's choice.

Since you don't know that movie is a dark horse, then treat all movies as dark horses. While leaving suspense, you can also leave the opportunity to shoot a sequel.

Even if it's a Hollywood movie, there is a process of growth, and it's not always so strong. A decade or two ago, it was difficult for studios to know for sure if a movie would be popular, and all companies loved popular movies because it would bring them a lot of money. In the same way, the film market is uncertain, and perhaps the audience does not buy the ambitious films, and the film companies need to pay for it.

In this case, in order to guarantee that the film can shoot a sequel, it is necessary to leave an open ending. As long as there is a story to tell and the audience is willing to watch it, the film company can continue to shoot a sequel without delaying the continuity of the story at all.

Like the Star Wars series, the Transformers series, and the superhero series, they will leave a certain amount of suspense and decide whether to continue filming according to the market.

It is conceivable that if in the first part, the protagonist is directly killed, it will be difficult to shoot a sequel.

Of course, with the development of the movie, the filmmaker's brain hole is getting bigger and bigger, not to mention that the protagonist is killed, even if everyone is killed, the screenwriter can find a suitable reason for them to be reborn. The most direct is the superhero series, which superhero has not died a few times, but they are still alive and kicking in the next one.

The screenwriter who is a little more responsible will write a good excuse for their resurrection, and the screenwriter who is a little impatient doesn't even have a reason for resurrection, it's just that I resurrected him, how to drop? You have the ability to bite me in the face.

In the superhero series, if a superhero hasn't died a few times, he's embarrassed to say hello to other superheroes when he goes out.

Similarly, Huaguo Film has also learned the production model of Hollywood films, and likes to leave some suspense at the end. These suspenses don't need to be considered, they are naturally paved for the sequel.

A high-grossing movie like "Monster Hunt", without thinking about it, there will definitely be a second one, all the way to the day when he is not popular. Since there is a second part, as long as the quality can be guaranteed, the box office will definitely not be too low, and two high box offices are enough for the film company to make a lot of money.

With "Monster Hunt" in front, there is the myth of "Mermaid" in the back. (To be continued.) )
