Chapter 427: The Most Glorious Year
The more than 500 million revenue of "Infernal Affairs" comes from many aspects, not only the box office share of the film in all the countries in which it is released, but also many other aspects.
This includes the copyright of the DVD and other peripherals.
The DVD version of "Infernal Affairs" in China is a high-definition pressed version of Blu-ray, and there is a shooting highlight disc and a director's cut version, which is beautifully made, and it took a lot of thought to finalize it from the packaging to the content.
In the end, such a DVD ushered in a booming situation in the sales of the entire domestic market in China.
Many people have watched "Infernal Affairs" more than twice in the cinema and have gained a lot of insights in it, but they still feel that such a movie is not enough to watch only on the movie screen, or just download it on demand on the Internet...... It's better to have a DVD collection of movies.
The DVD of the movie is not the same as the download on the computer, first of all, the download on the computer, more or not so extreme high-definition version, there is no Blu-ray disc such a capacity of dozens of G. Secondly, the video downloaded like that, after all, is still information data, and it is rare to have the kind of physical feeling that the DVD packaging box is directly placed in their own home, so they eventually like to buy a DVD to collect.
In this case, the DVD sales of "Infernal Affairs" are indeed selling very well, and these DVD sales are shared with Li Chencan's personal studio, so Li Chencan's personal studio has also received a fairly good revenue share. DVD sales of movies abroad are also quite hot. However, the sales of this film abroad, in addition to the box office share, more choose to use a direct one-time copyright buyout. So the DVD copyright and the like are all one-time and directly in hand.
This DVD of "Infernal Affairs" has achieved sales in a large range, and it has also brought the envy of many people, but this thing is not enviable, the excellence of the movie "Infernal Affairs" has been tested by the market and all people.
In addition, "Infernal Affairs" also has many other peripheral products that together constitute their popular sales system, so that a complete sales system has the current sales data of "Infernal Affairs".
…… Except for Infernal Affairs. One of the more important incomes of Li Chencan's personal studio this year is in music and books, and books are still concentrated in the publishers of paper books, of course, which is the original "The Legend of Wukong". The sales of this book are very amazing, and there is still a share after boiling, of course, the revenue share provided by "The Legend of Wukong" and others is relatively limited after all. There are more than 10 million people in music......
More than 10 million sounds like a lot. But in fact, over the past year, Li Chencan's investment in music, all kinds of charts, publicity, and hype may directly exceed more than 10 million yuan.
If you change to other singers, it may be difficult to maintain your own studio...... Of course. If other singers were mixed up with Li Chencan's current status, the money they earned in a year would definitely be more than that.
The reason is simple. A large part of their income source is to participate in activities of various products and endorse various products, but Li Chencan's endorsement of various products is basically refused, he does not participate in such activities, if he endorses any product and goes up to participate in various variety shows, then his annual income can be close to 100 million in music alone......
But Li Chencan has his own ideas in his heart, he feels that his positioning should be more of an original person, a director, the guest is not a singer, not an actor, not even a star, what he needs more is that his identity as a creator is recognized, so endorsements, variety shows and the like, Li Chencan will not participate as long as it is not necessary, he must not lose his own grade.
In addition to these items, Li Chencan's personal studio does not have much input, but as long as the income of one movie is complete, many half-dead star personal studios will be destroyed.
"The income from Infernal Affairs is indeed good." Li Chencan said to Sun Yunzhang: "However, the music is a little behind...... But as long as the music is enough, I want to have my own place in it than how much money I can make. ”
In front of Sun Yunzhang's eyes, Li Chencan did not hide his thoughts, of course, Sun Yunzhang also knew Li Chencan's thoughts all along, that is, nodded.
Li Chencan said: "However, some of these benefits ...... I can finally start working on my next film. When it comes to these things, Li Chencan himself is still quite excited, whenever he thinks that another movie will be born under his hands, this excitement goes without saying......
This kind of excitement really surpasses his two poems at Yenching University to directly defeat Lu Guang and An Zhaoran, and it also surpasses the feeling of success in many times in the past. Because, after all, movies are Li Chencan's favorite things, and they are also the things that he has continued in the depths of his soul from another time and space to this time and space.
Sun Yunzhang heard Li Chencan's voice, but he had a feeling that he didn't know what to say...... It seems that Li Chencan, this guy, is going to make another big investment?
Instinctively, he felt that Li Chencan's big investment was likely to directly surpass his previous years, and also surpass his Infernal Affairs......
This is Sun Yunzhang's hunch, but Sun Yunzhang now feels that this should become a real reality, and Li Chencan should really have this idea......
Actually, Li Chencan's thoughts are really not much different from what he thinks, because Li Chencan's next movie will come directly to a big ticket!
Although he didn't really direct a movie in his previous life, his films were all in charge of some control films below, but after the movie was made, he could only hang up an assistant director at most.
However, in this life, after Li Chencan's "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" and "Infernal Affairs", Li Chencan's own confidence in movies has really been established.
After all, as a director, if they are not particularly in literary films, if they want to influence everyone through strong humanistic care, then their way of realizing themselves is more to hope to be able to shoot a very shocking commercial blockbuster, if they can direct a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, it is really a great honor as a director.
So Li Chencan now has such an expectation, and he also has the ambition that most of the directors have......
The next film, anyway, the investment is less than 500 million, which is definitely not good.
Although Sun Yunzhang had already thought of these things, he didn't say much, from the time he decided to do it by Li Chencan's side, he knew that Li Chencan was by no means an ordinary artist, he had his own ideas, and he also had a lot of clear plans, even if these plans seemed a little ahead of time or unacceptable for the time being, but it didn't take too much time, Li Chencan would always use facts to prove the advance and rationality of his advance plans.
So he just needs to follow Li Chencan and do his part...... This is what Sun Yunzhang thinks.
Li Chencan returned to Rongcheng, and on the side of Rongcheng, Li Chencan also slowly planned to start planning his own affairs, but during this time, Li Chencan's twenty-second birthday is coming, and in a blink of an eye, four years have passed since he was here......
On this day, Li Chencan will still have his own birthday party, after all, he has reached this situation, and his birthday is not only his own business, nor is it just his family's business, but a major event for his fan group, so Li Chencan's birthday is not only for himself, but also for his fans.
In the end, it was decided to hold the birthday party in Central South Province, which is also the central region of China, and it is relatively easy for fans from all over the country to come here, so I chose this place.
This birthday party is still quite successful, in fact, judging from some of the circumstances of this birthday party, this has basically become a small concert, and Li Chencan also sang a lot of songs at this birthday party.
After the birthday party, Li Chencan immediately returned to Rongcheng and returned to his home.
At home, of course, there is also a family birthday for themselves, which is not the same as their own birthday party, although they may not receive as many fan gifts as the birthday party, but the feeling is completely different after all.
After Li Chencan's twenty-second birthday, all kinds of things began to be in full swing, the first of which was the public relations of several of his songs at major music festivals, which required a lot of investment and may not be effective, but after all, it was still done.
In addition, the release of "Infernal Affairs" in major European and American countries is about to begin, and "Infernal Affairs" has passed the review of the United States and has become one of the 56 quota films on the last train this year, which will be released in the United States.
has been released in the United States, and the release of "Infernal Affairs" in many European countries will be much more logical, and it will not take too much time or waste more words, and it will almost all be completed.
In many major European countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, the release of "Infernal Affairs" has also begun to be in full swing.
On December 18th, Li Chencan finally waited for a huge good news in the music world - he broke out this year, and received a total of thirteen nominations in the two major music festival awards in the following January!
This incident made Li Chencan clench his fists fiercely!
It's been the most glorious year! (To be continued......)
