Chapter 49: "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" Released (First Update)

At the beginning of the new year, in addition to the stars, directors and major companies who continue to be busy, Weibo once again released the annual list!

Forbes also released the annual income list of Chinese artists...

Weibo is the annual star list, except for the fans of the traffic faction, few people really pay attention to it.

Compared with the mainstream culture, idol culture belongs to the marginal culture, and the traffic wants to hold on to the mainstream, which is also the reason...

It's a surprise on the income list!

Bai Xiaofei's annual income is actually 1.6 billion!

is several times more than the second-ranked big brother - 300 million...

The share of "The Judge of the Dead", fifteen percent, 720 million, this is the big head, and then the studio's dividend, 600 million...

Really, the hell knows how they found out that the studio paid dividends this year...

The main projects for next year are basically movies - several TV series are still being filmed!

In addition, they also found out the dividends of "Truman's World", "Man on the Moon", and "Truant Dragon", and the data is accurate to 10,000...

"Truant Weilong", Bai Xiaofei took 5% of the box office dividends, but in the entire Bai Xiaofei studio, his shares are close to six layers!

Many fans care about Xiaobai taking so much money at one time, what are you going to do!

The answer was soon revealed: on the third day of the Lunar New Year, that is, on January 27, Bai Xiaofei had one more Junshe Media under his name, with a registered capital of 300 million!

Bai Xiaofei holds 90% of the shares personally, serves as the legal representative, executive director, and of course, the chairman is Tang Xiaoming, one of the founders of Weiying Capital...

Tang Xiaoming's first move was to open up Broadway, and of course, set up branches in 19 first-tier cities to rent performance stages.

This horse costs money!

The first batch of funds, Xiaobai injected 1 billion...

……

Some people make money, some people lose money!

Huayi lost his pants, but they still have a bunch of 'brothers', and they still have the world's tyrants!

"Circulation", the original work of the world, directed by Chen Zhengdao, but unfortunately the box office is not good...

The high hopes of "Painted Skin Prequel" and "Onmyoji" failed to be a big hit, although the cost was recovered, but it was not very profitable, and it was not at all the same as the plan made before...

What's even more outrageous is Lu Chuan's "749 Bureau", with an investment of nearly 500 million, and the box office almost didn't break 100 million...

Huge loss!

The annual financial report was released, and Huayi suffered a loss on its books for the first time.

Of course, its market value has evaporated to 9 billion - when it first went public, there were still 12 billion!

When there is a problem with the credibility of a company, it will affect the movies produced by the entire company...

No matter what your movie is, I just don't want to watch it!

Glossy, Lechuang Entertainment also lost.

The eight patterns with high hopes have not yet been formed!

In fact, the Big Six of Hollywood, at their peak, did not refer to their content creation ability, but their distribution ability!

The competitiveness of Hollywood's "Big Six" in content creation and production is more or less due to the fact that their power structure in North America and global distribution is basically monolithic, and under the iron heel of mergers and acquisitions, even if there are new forces emerging can be easily taken under their command.

But in the Chinese market, we don't have the big six!

After the reform of China's film industrialization, with the rise of private film companies in the distribution market, the state-owned forces such as China Film Distribution, Huaxia and Shanghai Film Distribution have gradually lost their dominant control over the distribution market.

On the one hand, after the prosperity of the film industry, capital is eager to enter the game and has "shortcuts" to lay out the distribution link, on the other hand, the threshold of the distribution business has become lower, so that the upstarts dare to challenge and even dare to destroy, and they can also gain insight into the "secrets" of this industry from the market changes that the old studio-type film companies "easily" give up their positions.

Without control over the market, studio-based film companies can only rely on brand-based series of films to maintain stable and predictable market performance.

But these new spoilers are basically bound to big directors and big stars to sell to investors!

None of the films are based on minor improvements from the previous one, so let's just say that so-called sequel films are usually only able to polish the marketing aspects of their predecessors, but very few are actually successful in continuing them.

There doesn't seem to be any studio-like film company in the mainland!

It has both film production and strong distribution capabilities - Wanda, the parent company is suppressed, and it is not counted among them!

Bai Xiaofei's studio is a typical workshop-style film and television company, although there are a bunch of talents on the Internet, but the real rise and fall has to count on Bai Xiaofei personally...

Such a model is essentially no different from Rongxingda.

……

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaobai woke up very late.

It was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and he got up from bed, and he was almost tired and scattered in the past few days!

All kinds of visits to relatives, smiling faces hurt, but fortunately I got through it!

After washing, I went downstairs, took the milk handed by the young lady, and drank it all: "Are you okay today?" ”

“… Yes, it's okay today, you can sleep well! ”

"Thank goodness..."

I just sat down, and the phone rang, it was David!

"Shiro, Happy New Year!"

“… Happy New Year..."

It's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it's only a New Year's greeting now? Isn't it a little late...

"Do you know how many numbers there are at the cumulative box office of "Kung Fu"?"

"$69.89 million!"

“… Walt? How do you know? ”

"We have the data and we can prepare to receive the North American box office data!"

“… You're talking about yesterday's box office, which is already $70.12 million today! ”

David's voice was excited...

Think about it, "Kung Fu", Lionsgate only paid $8 million in publicity costs, and directly swiped $70 million at the box office!

According to the terms of the account sharing, they can get only $25 million from the movie!

Not counting the TV broadcast rights, DVD rights...

Although Lionsgate is good at making big with small things, the income of each movie is not very big - except for a few masterpieces, such as "Chainsaw" or something...

"When will "Knock on Heaven's Door" be released?"

"Today, in addition, we have won 3,200 theaters to open at the same time!"

“… Is it on today? Didn't you say number 31? ”

"Today is the 31st!"

“… Is it? What opponents are there in the same period? ”

"Ash, Peter Rabbit 2, and Star Wars 9..."

, isn't Star Wars 9 still out of gear?

Hung up the phone, Xiaobai checked, "Star Wars 9" not only did not go down, but still maintained a single-day box office of $3 million, and even the weekend box office rose to $8 million, and the cumulative box office has reached $986 million...

It's outrageous!

All Xiaobai can do now is pray for sweet tea and Lucas Hedges...

What he didn't know was that the audience of these two was really good - they won $14 million directly on the first day, 2055 on Sunday, 19.85 million on Sunday, and $54.4 million on the first weekend!

What's even more outrageous is that the box office in the next four working days is still stable at 11 million, and from Monday to Thursday, it was reported at 1152, 1123, 1165, and 11.12 million respectively...

Seven days after its release, the cumulative box office was 99.92 million, according to the trend analysis of the better the comedy reputation, the stronger the follow-up box office, this is the rhythm of breaking 200 million US dollars!
