Chapter 625: Immortal Fury Storm (8)
For the average viewer, "The Mermaid" reaching a box office of 3.9 billion looks incredible. In fact, for most insiders or investment companies, the box office of "Mermaid" exceeded 2.5 billion, or even reached 3 billion, which is not too surprising. Not for anything else, just because "Monster Hunt" appeared earlier!
Maybe for many audiences, the appearance of a high-grossing movie does not mean anything, after all, no matter what industry you are in, there will be accidents, and you will interpret your own legend when the time and place are right.
For example, "Thai Embarrassment", everyone knows how the quality of "Thai Embarrassment" is, it is indeed a good comedy movie, but it is only so, a little higher, it has just reached excellence, it is not a high-quality comedy movie at all, let alone a classic.
Why was there a box office miracle that year! It is precisely because of the time of day that in a batch of kung fu films or serious films, the comedy movie "Thai Embarrassment" occupies a great advantage. In addition, it is a holiday again, and many people are willing to watch comedy.
Of course, it also has to be shown that Xu Zheng did a good job, which led to the box office miracle of "Thai Embarrassment".
Interestingly, when "Thai Embarrassment" broke the barrier of 1 billion domestic box office, a batch of movies with a box office of more than 1 billion emerged the following year.
"Journey to the West", "Blooming Heart", "Pancake Man", and even the animation work "The Return of the Great Sage" have reached the level of one billion, not to mention the peerless "Monster Hunt"!
Why is this happening, in addition to the improvement of the quality of the movie, the box office of the movie can easily show the economic development of a certain country.
Movies are different from food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they are not necessities in life. People will definitely not be able to eat without food, they will be starved to death, and if they don't watch movies for the rest of their lives and have nothing to do, they can save a lot of time.
Only if the citizens have some money. Food, clothing, housing and transportation can be satisfied, and at this time they will be willing to pay for movies. In other words, when the whole country has no money, no matter how much the upper echelons support the development of films, movies cannot be developed. Therefore, the box office of the movie actually represents the change of the domestic economy.
Since it represents economic changes. The box office of the movie almost represents the maximum capacity of the domestic economy. For example, if the box office of a movie can reach one billion, it means that the maximum box office limit of the film market has exceeded one billion.
With the market, as long as the quality of the movie is good, there are stars, and there is publicity, it is not difficult to break through one billion.
On the contrary, when the highest box office of a movie is only tens of millions, the number of people who watch the movie may only be a few million. At this time, it is impossible to get a box office of hundreds of millions.
So when a certain movie breaks through a billion at the box office. The impact on the entire film industry is enormous. Not to mention that the box office of "Monster Hunt" reached a height of 2.7 billion, which may be just a number in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of filmmakers, it is an incredibly large market.
The 2.7 billion market represents hundreds of millions of people who chose to enter the cinema at that time. With hundreds of millions of moviegoers, the number of moviegoers to strive for is not one or two, but hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions. With so many people. Naturally, the film market will become more and more prosperous.
With the data of the entire market, many filmmakers are quite confident in the box office of "Mermaid". This can be seen from the production company that slipped away. Which of those companies is not a big company. Which one is not the best in the industry, or has deep connections.
If they don't have faith in Mermaid, how can they be willing to participate in the Mermaid project.
Naturally, their vision was not wrong, and the "Mermaid" project was a great success, and each company also had hundreds of millions of benefits. year. Even if you get hundreds of millions of dollars in half a year, no matter which company you put it in, it is also a great benefit.
And they don't just take benefits and don't do things, while "Mermaid" brings them huge benefits, they also bring a mythical opportunity to "Mermaid", and push Xing Ye to the altar of the director industry in one fell swoop.
Propaganda without dead ends throughout the country. has been on the market for nearly half a year, and has even landed on the news network, and has been praised by some bigwigs. How can these things be done without the support of a strong force.
It is precisely through the efforts of many parties that the myth of "The Mermaid" was created.
Similar to "The Mermaid", the "Fairy Fury" movie was also recognized by many venture capital companies when it was released, but no venture capital company would ever say that the box office of the "Fairy Fury" movie could be compared with "The Mermaid".
Don't say this idea, even if you think about it a little, it's disrespectful to "The Mermaid". The myth of "The Mermaid" was created with the efforts of all parties, whether it is the connections, the plot, or even the plot of the star master, it is only a part of the propaganda.
Except for Xing Ye, except for "The Mermaid", it is impossible for the same situation to appear again in a movie in a short period of time. Without compromises from all sides, without the support of the market, it is simply unrealistic to want to break the box office myth of "The Mermaid". In the eyes of venture capital companies and filmmakers, the box office myth of "Mermaid" will not be broken for at least five years, and all filmmakers have to do is to get close.
Maybe in five years, there will be a high-quality work, or another work by Xing Ye, and it will be possible to break the box office myth under economic stimulation. As for now, it is impossible for the movies of the past two years to do it, let alone an animated work like the "Fairy Fury" movie.
Therefore, in the eyes of many venture capital companies, the box office of the "Fairy Fury" movie should be between 1.5 billion and 2 billion.
The box office between 15 and 2 billion is naturally not comparable to "The Mermaid", but it is also a remarkable achievement. In particular, the movie "Fairy Fury" is not a traditional film work, but an animation work.
Among the domestic animation works, the highest-grossing movie is "The Return of the Great Sage", with a total box office of just more than 1 billion. In other words, venture capital companies are quite optimistic about the "Fairy Fury" movie, and feel that the "Fairy Fury" movie has the potential to hit the throne of domestic animation works, and can even double the box office record.
This evaluation is already quite good, and in terms of Youtu, President Tang Feng basically agrees with this speculation. Since he is one of the film distributors, he naturally hopes that the higher the box office, the better, so he jokingly said that he had a score of 2.5 billion, striving to break "Monster Hunt"!
As for "The Mermaid", he didn't dare to mention it.
Even so, some media ridiculed Tang Feng at the beginning, but now? The box office of the "Fairy Fury" movie almost completely exploded "Mermaid"! (To be continued.) )
