Chapter 198: Final Box Office
At the end of 2004, in addition to many foreign blockbusters that were born and swept a lot of wealth in China, there were also two films in China, which set off a whirlwind in China.
The first share, naturally, is Feng Xiaogang, who has occupied the hegemony of the Chinese New Year file in Chinese Chinese films for many years, with a "No Thieves in the World", in a short period of time, he swept the box office of 120 million.
Compared with later generations, some low-cost love movies can get hundreds of millions of box office, in 2004, when the Chinese film industry was not very developed, it was indeed a very terrifying number to be able to achieve such results.
If it was placed in previous years, such an achievement would definitely become the hottest movie of the year and a symbol of the year.
However, in 2004, it could only be relegated to second place!
Because less than half a month after the release of "No Thieves in the World", another movie came out, ruthlessly crushing "No Thieves in the World" with a stronger and stronger attitude, and became the biggest winner of Chinese films in 2004.
This movie is a classic created by Zhou Xingchi over the course of three years - "Kung Fu"!
Kung Fu film, although the release time is nearly half a month later than "No Thieves in the World", but in terms of results, it is behind the others, on the first day, with a score of 1.5 times that of Kung Fu, infinitely close to the first-day box office of 10 million, shocked the whole of China!
Then, because the quality of the film "Kung Fu" is very high, the audience who has seen it has given very high evaluations, and under the word of mouth, it has brought a lot of free but more effective publicity to this film.
Word-of-mouth is undoubtedly one of the most important factors in a film. To be able to have a good reputation is the beginning of a good result!
In the next month or two, the results of "Kung Fu" were the same as on the first day of release, and there was no decline in the slightest, but with the passage of time, it became stronger, which also made the total box office of this film more and more high!
Of course, during this period of time, "Kung Fu" was able to achieve such good results, and naturally did not leave the main creative team of films such as Zhou Xingchi, Liang Xiaolong, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Hua and Yang Mi day after day. The result of constant propaganda throughout the country.
As for Menjie......
Although the crew of "Mythology" is also very busy filming, compared to Yang Mi and others, they are very happy and save a lot of time.
Finally, with the passage of time. In two months, "Kung Fu" will be officially delineated. When I left the major theaters. The final box office was announced, which instantly shocked the whole of China!
1600000!
The box office is 1600000, which is more than 4000000 more than "No Thieves in the World"!
The box office of more than 4,000 yuan is more than 30% more than "No Thieves in the World", and such results are inevitably compared by many media. What to say about Zhou Xingchi's victory over Feng Xiaogang and something like that.
Of course, for this kind of news that it is clear at a glance that Lu Dao is deliberately provocative, neither Zhou Xingchi nor Feng Xiaogang himself has any attention. If you are really fooled and angry, I am afraid that you will fall into the trap of some unscrupulous reporters, not to mention that the relationship between Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingchi is not bad, and it is unlikely that there will be contradictions.
Feng Xiaogang will make a cameo appearance in "No Thieves in the World" before, which is ironclad evidence!
What's more, as Feng Xiaogang's current status as the top director in the mainland, he is not too interested in this kind of temporary comparison, and even when the final box office of "Kung Fu" was announced, he personally brought a flower basket to Zhou Xingchi, and as a special guest, attended the scene of the entertainment program that Zhou Xingchi and others were recording at that time, which really surprised Menjie and others!
On the one hand, he is admiring Feng Xiaogang's upright personality and no petty family spirit at all, and secondly, he is also full of expectations for whether he can cooperate with Feng Xiaogang in the future.
If you can cooperate with such a top director, I believe it should be a very happy thing, right?
"Such a box office...... It seems to be the same as recorded in the Heavenly King system! ”
At this moment, in the crew of "Mythology", other people are filming today's scene, while Menjie is sitting on the side frowning slightly, constantly thinking about something in his heart.
At the beginning, Menjie frowned, but as time passed, one thought flashed through his mind, and his brows gradually relaxed, but he also figured out some things.
In the original version of "Kung Fu", the big guy Chen is played by Chen Guokun, not Menjie, which is the only big difference in "Kung Fu"!
If you compare Chen Guokun with Menjie before starring in "Kung Fu", Menjie finds that he is indeed weak!
At least, before that, Chen Guokun had been popular because he played a role in "Shaolin Football", and it was indeed a small fire for a while, although he has not yet reached the level of a first-line movie star, but compared to the newcomer Menjie, he is much stronger!
And now, the role of the big guy Chen is in the hands of Menjie, which will naturally make a large number of Chen Guokun's fans give up "Kung Fu", and invisibly, the box office of this film has dropped by at least 500 to 10 million!
If this is just the case, then the current "Kung Fu" will naturally not be able to reach such a terrifying number of 160 million at the box office, coincidentally, the appearance of Menjie not only lowered the box office, but also made up for this part of the gap!
First of all, when Men Jie played the role of the big guy Chen, he was full of majestic temperament, like an excellent gangster, and this alone attracted a lot of audiences and increased the box office for the film.
Then, Menjie has one of two special skills!
Whim LV2: (Special Skill) has a cooldown of 30 days, and every time you use a skill, you can make the host's fans pay attention to the host, and if the economy allows, they are willing to spend money to support the host
This skill, not as strong as another special skill, can directly increase the sales of a certain work of Menjie, but it is better than the cooldown time is only 30 days, and you can use it casually!
Although the number of fans of Menjie itself is at best more than 200,000, even if the mosquito legs are small, they are still meat!
Among the more than 200,000 fans, about half of them may have known that Menjie's movie "Kung Fu" was about to be released and went to watch it, and some people had the idea of watching pirated versions and were not ready to go to the cinema to watch the movie.
However, after Men Jie used the LV2 whim skill, he was also able to increase the number of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of box office!
Added together, the film "Kung Fu" lost the millions of box office lost by Chen Guokun, and it was inadvertently made up for by Menjie, although there was not much improvement, but it did not cause the film's performance to decline because of Menjie's appearance.
Based on this alone, Menjie has enough reasons to say that he did not insult the role of "Big Guy Chen"!
And the final result of the film "Kung Fu" is stable at the box office of 160 million.
In the eyes of outsiders, the contract signed by Menjie and the crew is just a fixed salary to star, and there is no box office dividend, the film itself is high or low, and the relationship with Menjie is not very big, mainly because of the producer's problem.
After all, no matter how high the box office is, Menjie can't make more money!
But everyone doesn't know about the road, the higher the box office, the more benefits Menjie can earn, this benefit does not refer to simple wealth, but even wealth can not be bought, the points of the Tianwang system!
According to the points reward regulations of the Tianwang system, if it is a movie that participates in the shooting, after the release, for every 10,000 box office gained, Menjie himself can get one point.
Now, the final box office of "Kung Fu" is 16000000, so now, the points that Menjie can get are 16000 points!
16,000 points, for Menjie, who has reached the B- level of acting skills at present, such a number may not be enough for Menjie to exchange for a good B-level skill, which is not too much, but in fact, this number is indeed a lot!
Before, Menjie's first album fairy tale brought Menjie 9,600 points, and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" only earned about 10,000 points for Menjie.
But now, the film "Kung Fu", simply, has brought Men Jie sixty percent more points than the previous two works!
Although the points of a movie alone are not enough for Menjie to buy a good B-level skill, if you take out all the points that have been accumulated for a long time, it is not particularly difficult to exchange for a good B-level skill.
Of course, Menjie doesn't continue a B-level skill now, so there is no need to rush, you can wait for a while, and you can redeem it when you need a certain skill very urgently.
Therefore, the 16,000 points brought by the film "Kung Fu" to Menjie are the same as the points of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which are stored in the Tianwang system, and they are not directly selected to receive them.
At the end, Menjie grinned and put all his attention on the Heavenly King system, another area.
Compared with the one-time 16,000 points that "Kung Fu" brought to Menjie, although Menjie is also very happy, he cares more about more than just these 16,000 points.
What Menjie really cares about is the number of his fans!
Only when the number of fans increases, Menjie's future works can get better results, and Menjie himself can continue to earn points through his fans and achieve a sustainable development strategy! (To be continued.) )
