Chapter 436: Champion of the Year
The movie "Pandora" in Chu Shi's memory is a movie born from the movie "Avatar" but has nothing to do with it, and the final achievement is even higher than "Avatar", and even added another trophy of "Best Director" to James Cameron.
Although in the end, this work was connected again with the movie "Avatar", but in Chu Shi's opinion, it can be made into an independent series of movies!
The only drawback of the movie "Pandora", and the fundamental reason why the original company did not shoot in history, is that the film investment is too large.
But in Chu Shi's eyes, this problem is not called a problem at all! Within 24 hours after the script was written, the 237 million US dollars that exceeded the 237 million investment of the movie "Avatar" were directly in place, and according to Chu Shi's attitude, this is only the first batch of investment, and it is very likely that Chu Shi will have to invest an additional 30 million to 50 million US dollars for the movie "Pandora".
With a horror investment of nearly $300 million, the movie "Pandora" is definitely one of the largest investment film works in the entire film industry!
After the huge investment of 250 million US dollars was in place, other actors, directors, lighting, makeup and other staff in front of and behind the scenes, as well as special effects teams, were all in place.
And after that, it's time for the hectic filming work!
The movie "Pandora" has a large investment, sufficient special effects, and a good story, and Chu Shi does not have to be bound by the follow-up sequel works, but there is one thing that makes Chu Shi quite depressed. is the vast majority of the shots in the movie "Pandora". all need to be involved in Chu Shi, who is the leading actor.
Just like the movie of Chinese superstar Cheng Long, most of the heroines are vases, and the rest of the supporting roles are just a little bit. is more of a one-man show for the male protagonist, which can indeed attract a large audience, but in the same way, Chu Shi, as the male protagonist, also needs to pay a lot of hard work.
But no one can accompany Chu Shi, the hard work and exhaustion of the link, after all, Fan Bingling needs to stay in Ice World Entertainment Company and Starlight Cinema to represent Chu Shi's stable military heart, and Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran. In order to make up for his heavy loss of popularity, he also has to desperately shoot enough excellent film and television works, and he has no time to be distracted to accompany Chu Shi, which is indeed quite depressed for Chu Shi, who is used to being casual.
Half a year has indeed made Chu Shi miserable!
And now, after being determined to compensate Yang Mi, and after meeting Yang Mi in the United States, he also saw that Yang Mi had true feelings for him, and Chu Shi was directly in the United States. Take Yang Mi down completely.
became his fourth woman after Fan Bingling, Liu Yushi, and Tang Yanran, and like Fan Bingling, they are all women who have been strategized in the process of filming in the United States.
Not the first, of course. Nor is it the last.
And after that, Chu Shi did not let Yang Mi leave immediately, but forcibly left Yang Mi by his side. And very unscrupulous......
often passes guò's personal meager and posts some photos that are quite intimate with Yang Mi.
It is not the small-bellied chicken intestine that has made its own label on Yang Mi. Let other men stay away from her, just to make Yang Mi easier in the future.
To know. In the previous half a year, Yang Mi's popularity plummeted because of Chu Shi, but at that time, because of Chu Shi, no one dared to give Yang Mi even a little face, and even treated Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran, which was quite stammering.
But with the passage of time, Chu Shi seemed to have forgotten Yang Mi, which also made insiders feel that Chu Shi either really did not have a relationship with Yang Mi, or abandoned Yang Mi for some reason.
As a result, Yang Mi, whose popularity has plummeted and has no backer, will often encounter some unfair treatment at work, and Chu Shi is doing this today to let others know - now, Yang Mi, like Liu Yushi and Tang Yanran, has become her own woman, who dares to show Yang Mi's face in the future...... Hum.
Not only Chu Shi! Even Tang Yanran and Liu Yushi seemed to recognize Yang Mi, and they interacted with Yang Mi through their personal meager feelings, after all, a long time ago, their personal relationship was very good, and now whether they are sincere or helpless, at least in front of people and in front of Chu Shi, they have a harmonious and happy appearance.
No matter what, Chu Shi is still very satisfied, and at the same time, the TV series specially prepared for Yang Mi will not officially start filming for a while, and Yang Mi will be left by Chu Shi to spend a good time together.
Both of them are star artists, and their work is very busy, and if they want to get such a happy time together alone in the future, I am afraid it will not be so simple.
Finally, two months after Yang Mi arrived in the United States to accompany Chu Shi, in early November 2014, the movie "Pandora" was officially completed, and Chu Shi and Yang Mi also returned to China together.
Yang Mi undoubtedly began to shoot the high-quality TV series specially prepared for her by Chu Shi, and Chu Shi was also busy, running around for the movie "Pandora".
It is true that after a full nine months of film shooting, all the shots of the movie "Pandora" have been filmed, and in these nine months of filming, starting from the third month, the special effects team hired by Chu Shi with a huge amount of money began the work of making the film, which lasted for half a year. There is no need for Chu Shi to bother too much about the issue of making zuò.
But it is precisely because the film production has basically been completed and will be released in the United States, Huaxia and several other countries that Chu Shi has contacted, so Chu Shi has to arrange publicity activities as early as possible.
Most of the scenes in the movie "Pandora" are Chu Shi, and although other people in the movie can be called big-name actors, it can be said that they are really popular in many countries around the world. In fact, it's just one of Chu Shi!
The propaganda of the United States can be simply handed over to a few of them. However, the propaganda work of other countries, including Huaxia, needs to be done by Chu Shi himself.
Arguably. In the whole year of 2014, Chu Shi was quite busy, but in order to allow Starlight Cinema to have more advantages and chips in the confrontation with Wanda Cinema, Chu Shi worked hard, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Finally, at the beginning of 2015, Chu Shi finally ended such a busy life, and the movie "Pandora" was officially released worldwide!
As soon as the movie "Pandora" was released, it instantly detonated the world!
Although the total box office is slightly inferior to the movie "Avatar" that detonated the world in 2009. can be released in several countries at the box office, but it is slightly better than "Avatar".
It's a pity that the movie "Pandora" does not have the terrifying ability of Twentieth Century Fox, and can be released simultaneously in more than ten or twenty countries, and Chu Shi is far from having the terrifying box office appeal ability of James Cameron, the king of the world.
But even so, the results of the movie "Pandora". It is enough to directly win the 2015 annual box office champion at the beginning of 2015!
In 2014, many excellent film works were born in the world, and the first one was born. is the movie "Iron Man 3", with a huge fan base, won the 2014 annual box office list top. Its box office performance also reached a terrifying $1.215 billion, and it is worth mentioning. The movie "Iron Man 3" is the only one in 2014. A film that has exceeded the billion mark at the global box office.
In addition, "Despicable Me 2", which ranked second in the annual box office list, won a horror box office result of 918 million US dollars, and then "Fast and Furious 6", "Monsters University", "The Hunger Games 2" and other works also won a lot of box office results.
Throughout the year, nine movies broke through the $500 million mark at the box office, and only one movie "Iron Man 3" broke through the billion mark.
Naturally, Chu Shi's first expectation for the movie "Pandora" is that the box office performance of the movie can exceed the billion mark!
And in the end, the movie "Pandora" did not disappoint Chu Shi, when the movie was about to be released halfway through, its box office performance climbed to a terrifying billion dollars, and you must know that when it comes to the number of broadcast countries, the movie "Pandora" is far inferior to last year's box office champion "Iron Man 3" and the movie "Avatar".
It is precisely because of this relationship that after the global box office of the movie "Pandora" broke through the billion mark, theaters in several countries took the initiative to find Chu Shi and talked about the introduction of the movie "Pandora".
The introduction of a movie has only brought some benefits to Chu Shi, but what is represented behind this is a genuine 'relationship'!
With the movie "Pandora", although Chu Shi does not have the deep relationship network of Twentieth Century Fox, he has also increased the number of countries where the movie "Pandora" has been released to eighteen, and at the same time, he has firmly grasped fifteen of them.
At the same time, among these fifteen countries, Chu Shi has also reached a deep cooperative relationship with twelve of them one by one, sharing works and interests!
Although in order to achieve these relationships, Chu Shi made some concessions, and was even willing to become allies with some of these theaters to jointly target other theaters in the other country, but the same pay will be rewarded, and these dozen theaters also promised Chu Shi that they are willing to support Chu Shi and Starlight Cinema on some issues, and completely defeat Wanda Cinema as soon as possible.
In a short period of time, such support may seem to be of little use and cannot provide direct help and support for Starlight Cinemas, but with the passage of time, Wanda Cinemas will absorb fewer and fewer high-quality film works overseas, while Starlight Cinemas will have more and more high-quality works, and sooner or later, Wanda Cinemas will be completely crushed by Chu Shi and Starlight Cinemas!
For this day, Chu Shi's heart was full of expectations.
Of course, even if that day does not come. The results of the movie "Pandora" are enough to make Wanda Cinema have a suppressed feeling of being breathless.
Without it. Just because of the results of the movie "Pandora", it is too bewitching!
The reason why the movie "Avatar" was able to achieve extremely terrifying results at the beginning. There are many reasons for being the top of the world box office charts, one of which is that with the strong research of Twentieth Century Fox and the personal influence of the king of the world, James Cameron, the movie "Avatar" was released for nearly a year.
At a great price, twentieth century Fox gained the new title of "the world's number one film" and gained great prestige. Overall, it's still a small profit.
But Chu Shi wouldn't do that! First, it does not have the strong public relations ability of Twentieth Century Fox, and secondly, it does not have the strong influence of James Cameron, and because of some external factors, it is even more difficult for the movie "Pandora" to surpass "Avatar", and it is not worth the price Chu Shi has to pay too much to win the movie "Pandora".
Through guò relationship, after paying a small price, the movie "Pandora" was released in many countries for three months, which has basically squeezed the box office value of the movie cleanly. And the final box office results have also made Chu Shi quite satisfied.
The box office performance of the movie "Avatar" was divided into two parts, with a North American box office of $756 million and an overseas box office of $2 billion, with a total final revenue of $2.755 billion. Among them, the box office results occupied by Huaxia are only more than 200 million US dollars.
But nowadays. With the passage of time, the Chinese market has become more and more huge. And the movie "Avatar" is either produced by the company or when its male protagonist is Chinese. As a Chinese citizen, I naturally spare no effort to support this excellent work that is qualified to compete for the 'World Film Box Office Rankings'.
In three months, the movie "Pandora" directly won a terrifying box office of 350 million US dollars in China, and such a demonic result also made the world collectively lose its voice.
The box office result of 350 million is comparable to the total box office performance of half of North America, even if it is still playing, Huaxia can definitely be called a first-line box office contribution country...... No, it's not potential anymore, it's real strength, but behind such a strong box office strength, there is still huge potential.
The Huaxia market is definitely a place for any world-class top entertainment company in the world film industry in the future!
Even with it, Chu Shi has also become one of the most popular actors in Hollywood, strength and popularity are on the one hand, and more importantly, because there are more than a billion Chinese compatriots standing behind Chu Shi! What Hollywood bigwigs value is also the interests of the representatives behind Chu Shi.
It's a pity, how could Chu Shi help these Hollywood bigwigs harm their compatriots for the sake of meager profits? There is no doubt that they were rejected directly, anyway, Chu Shi has no shortage of excellent movie scripts.
However, because of Chu Shi's merciless refusal, Hollywood bigwigs also set their sights on other Chinese star artists, and finally because of the movie "Pandora", more Chinese star artists entered the world stage, but it was an unexpected joy.
After Huaxia provided Chu Shi with a box office of 350 million US dollars, in North America, the movie "Pandora" also brought Chu Shi a box office result of 700 million US dollars with its superb quality, and in addition, in addition to the overseas box office results of Huaxia, it finally brought 1.15 billion US dollars of terrifying income to Chu Shi.
China, North America, and overseas, all of them are added together, and the box office revenue brought by the movie "Pandora" to Chu Shi seems to have reached a terrifying 2.2 billion US dollars!
And unlike other film production companies, Chu Shi is not just a film producer, he also has the first cinema in Huaxia, and with this cinema line, he has established a good cooperative relationship with cinemas in other countries, and naturally, the share of the movie "Pandora" is quite good.
In the end, Chu Shi's share has reached a huge figure of 1.3 billion US dollars, even after deducting the 300 million US dollars from the cost of film production, Chu Shi also relied on the movie "Pandora" to reap a total of one billion US dollars in terms of box office sharing!
And this is just a share of the movie box office! Chu Shi conducted a detailed investigation a long time ago, in addition to the box office, a movie can also bring a lot of wealth to the Internet on demand, when it comes to numbers, it is not much different from the box office revenue, and it also brought Chu Shi a revenue of 1.3 billion US dollars, plus the final peripheral industry brought 300 million US dollars to Chu Shi......
The movie "Pandora" brought a full $2.6 billion in revenue to Chu Shi! From this point of view, it is indeed not unreasonable that Chu Shi spent the whole year of 2014 on such a work.
Although because Chu Shi did not do it himself, the revenue of Dimension Entertainment Company and Ice World Entertainment Company this year has decreased by a full 500 million US dollars compared with last year, and the total has only reached such a figure of 2.4 billion US dollars, but with the loss of 500 million US dollars in the TV drama industry, in exchange for the income of 2.6 billion US dollars in the global film industry, no matter how you look at it, it is an extremely terrifying figure.
It is precisely because of this that in the whole year of 2014, the total income of Chu Shi in the entertainment industry seems to have reached an incomparably terrifying figure of 5 billion US dollars, and a terrifying wealth of nearly 30 billion Huaxia coins! (To be continued......)
