Chapter 167: The year's huge loss ranks third
She relayed the news to Bai Xiaofei through Chen Baolian.
Probably think this is a normal thing?
Take the most potential director in China to praise an outdated Hollywood actor...
That's right, it's better than holding a stick!
Chen Baolian didn't ask Bai Xiaofei at all, and directly refused!
What kind of person Xiaobai is, there is no one who knows better than Chen Baolian, a typical angry young man, let him go to praise foreigners, why?
Of course, out of friendship, Bai Xiaofei's director's studio's official Weibo still promoted "Rogue Rush" - China and the United States will be released at the same time!
Tips: In the future, whenever you see a domestic film that says 'China and the United States' and 'Global' on the poster that will be released at the same time, don't believe it, generally if it is so promoted, you will definitely be able to find this movie in North American theaters, but at most that's the case - people in the United States have chartered a theater in a place where no one can find it, and then choose a good screening time and synchronize it with China, so that China and the United States will open at the same time!
Those in the know know that December is the largest schedule in the North American market except for the summer season - Christmas file.
There are also a bunch of Olympic movies that will be released in December...
People can't schedule their own movies in theaters, so how can they have time to schedule films on the other side of the ocean?
That's it at most.

"The most important thing is to do one thing seriously, as for the box office, it's good to hand it over to the audience, I don't care!"
"Rapid Rogue Player" was released for three days, and the box office was less than 40 million, and Keanu Levi, who came to Beijing to promote, responded to the reporter's topic about the unsatisfactory box office very flatly.
It's right to think about it, people have long passed the age of pursuing the box office!
Keanu Reeves at his peak was a member of the 20 million club!
Not to mention anything else, the "Matrix" series, in addition to establishing the Wachowski brothers' status in the field of science fiction films, no, it should be said that the Wachowski sisters, by the way, also made Keanu Reeves one of the richest superstars in Hollywood!
Before the release of the first episode of "The Matrix", due to the uncertain box office prospects, Reeves only took $10 million and a 10% share, and as a result, the global box office of the film was 463 million, making him a profit of 56 million. However, compared to the sequel, this figure is still inferior, and Reeves's share in the two sequel contracts has been increased to 15%, with a total revenue of 175 million.
But he donated a large portion of his salary to the costume and special effects departments, making many millionaires.
paid out of his own pocket to buy an expensive Harley motorcycle for each of his 12 action doubles in the movie.
The remaining 70 percent of the remuneration was donated to the hospital...
This is a good guy!
The publicity of the day happened to be the birthday of producer Li Shaohong, and the creators celebrated his birthday together, and the atmosphere was very warm...
It doesn't seem to take the box office failure seriously at all...
Calm and calm, this is the look of the king after seeing through everything!
Keanu Reeves, a very charismatic person!
When he was young, Keanu Reeves, Johnny Depp, and Rivan Phoenix, famous Hollywood suckers. The drug trio, who later witnessed the death of his friend Raven Phoenix's overuse of drugs*, and he quit drugs with Johnny Depp...
In order to accompany his sister who suffers from leukemia, he also spent a lot of time and money to help charities related to it, and at the same time, he took the initiative to reduce his salary for the practice with his favorite actors.
In addition to this, this person has no bodyguards, does not buy a mansion, lives in a hotel for a long time, and lives a wandering life;
Don't buy famous cars, only drive your favorite motorcycles;
Although in the past few years, he has made all bad movies, and last year he made a "Tai Chi Man" with a huge loss of the year, and Wanda lost the original sequel "Kung Fu Man" miserably...
But you can't stop the Chinese from having money!
The devil knows where Yongsheng got the courage to ask him to star in a movie, and he also paid $8 million...
Although there are many fans who left messages on Douban: "I went to watch this film just for Keanu Reeves!" ”
"I hope you will support this film a lot, so that Lao Ji will continue to develop in China..."
"How is the movie, it doesn't matter, Keanu Reeves is still very handsome, and my pants are all off!"
"The work starring Keanu Reeves, the smoothness of the camera is unparalleled, those who give low scores casually, just don't have the heart to taste this movie, highly recommended!"
……
In recent years, the mainland film market has become hot year by year, "Thai Embarrassment" and "Journey to the West" have successively exceeded 1.2 billion yuan at the box office, and "To Youth", "Seattle", "Chinese Partner" and "Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King" have also exceeded 500 million, and "Macau Fengyun 2" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" have all crossed the box office of 800 million, making major film companies willing to make blockbusters.
However, there is no fixed number of such things as movies, and no one knows the audience's taste!
The box office of "1942" with an investment of 200 million yuan cannot be recovered by 360 million, and the box office of "One Step Away" with an investment of 300 million yuan is even more lost!
However, these two are still small compared to Yongsheng's masterpiece "The Legend of Chu and Han".
300 million investment, box office 120 million...
Although the loss of the entire film has been reduced to 200 million through overseas copyright and peripheral marketing, it is still undisputed to rank first in the annual huge loss!
In other words, in the past few years, the Qin and Han dynasties have been filmed, "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet" and "The King's Feast" have all lost, and it is no wonder that everyone has filmed Qing palace dramas in one go...
This year's Yongsheng is a bit like An Le a few years ago, the boss of An Le Film and Television has been very famous in recent years, a "Monster Hunt" has completely put him on the altar, Asia's first producer - of course, he was also famous before, the producer of "Hero" is Lao Jiang...
But the works produced by Anle Film and Television in the past few years are all "Su Qier", "Wolf Disaster", "Murderer", "Huang Feihong's Hero Has a Dream"...
It can be said that the loss is a miracle!
People are now mixed up, with the IP of "Monster Hunt", there is also a box office of 2 billion at any time - even if you scold, the box office is low, count me!
"Rogue Rush" also lost, of course, far from the level of "The Legend of Chu and Han", which firmly locked the throne of the first place of the year!
Moreover, Chen Laoba is going to add a 'Chu Han' special project in the theme park - although the movie is a loss, it has gained a little popularity, so it is regarded as spending money to promote it...
I believe that in a few years, through the theme park project, the lost funds of "The Legend of Chu and Han" should be able to earn back...
The overseas copyright of "Rogue and Furious" is selling well, Keanu Reeves is a former Hollywood superstar after all, selling films in his name is quite good...
It is estimated that this is also the reason why Wanda is willing to smash "Tai Chi Man".
But no matter what, Rogue Bang still loses money, with a loss of nearly $8 million...
The huge loss of the year ranked third.
As for the second place, the one that almost overtook "The Legend of Chu and Han" was Wu Baige's masterpiece "Taiping Wheel"!
The production cost of 400 million, the final box office, the upper and lower parts together did not exceed 250 million...
directly put the pony Bento, who was already in prison, to bankruptcy...
