Chapter 1229: Sincerity
After the movie was released, Sun Peng could only watch it.
During the Chinese New Year, he was reluctant to run around to promote the movie, otherwise with his current fame and number of fans, he would definitely be the most important publicity force for the crew. It's a pity that the honorable teacher Lao Bai is only willing to accompany the children at home, so Nanhai Pictures can only helplessly rely on themselves, at most make a phone call from time to time to remind Sun Ya, and let Teacher Lao Bai post another Weibo to promote the amazing box office of "Han Bo and Lingshi......
But on the first day of the new year, "Han Bo and Lingshi" won a box office of 710 million!
It's still far from breaking the record, and it can't even squeeze into the top five of the single-day box office rankings, but for the pioneering work of the Little Witcher series, this number is enough to make people feel amazing......
"Five hundred and eighty million on the second day, four hundred and sixty million on the third day!"
With three days of data just out of the box, Charles? George said with a solemn face: "In just three days, "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" swept a box office of more than 1.6 billion in China, almost 250 million US dollars...... Richard, this is the world's largest film market, this is laobai! ”
“……”
Listened to Charles? George's words, Richard? Feynman's face was rather unsightly.
If you only look at the numbers, there is no doubt that the box office of "Han Bo and Lingshi" has fallen too fast, and the decline is about 20% every day. But as an insider, Richard? Feynman was not impressed.
The drop is indeed huge, but don't forget the box office numbers on the first day!
Even in China, its original author is still the famous Lao Bai, and the first-day box office of hundreds of millions of dollars is enough for a fan movie, not to mention that this is only the first part of the Little Witcher series.
And......
After a moment of silence, Richard? Feynman smiled bitterly: "Not only in China, but also in North America, the three-day box office of "Han Bo and Lingshi" is as high as 39 million US dollars, and there are 32 million in Europe!" It's a lot worse than "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", but the reputation is also very good, and the IMBD rating is as high as 8.3......"
Later words, Richard? Feynman didn't go on, but Charles? George already knew it.
$39 million in three days, which shows that the Little Wizard series has a fairly strong fan base in North America, and the audience score of 8.3 shows that "Han Bo and Lingshi" will not have a lack of stamina, because of the worry of a rapid decline in the box office due to the collapse of word-of-mouth - compared with the special Chinese New Year stalls in China, the box office trend in North America should undoubtedly be more normal. So if you predict it conventionally, its final box office should fall above 130 million, and maybe even more than 150 million!
Even if it was a Chinese costume blockbuster in its heyday before, the box office of the first weekend of this figure was quite good.
If the situation in Europe is the same, it means that with small markets such as Australia and New Zealand, the entire Western world can contribute three to four hundred million dollars to the box office of "Han Bo and Lingshi"! Add to this places like Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and Charles? George thinks that the overseas box office of "Han Bo and Lingshi" should be able to imagine the level of 500 million.
Coupled with the local Chinese language, it is another super big production with a total box office of more than one billion US dollars!
However......
Think of last summer's "The Identity of Bourne" and "Die Hard", and then "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Zootopia" in the Christmas file, as well as the popular "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone", and even Charles? George also thought of "The Silence of the Lambs" in March, "Mulan" and "Hero" in the summer vacation, and his heart was like being put on a thousand pounds of boulder, completely out of breath!
"Why, why is this not related to Shakelu Pictures?!"
Take a deep breath, Charles? George said with a solemn face: "Richard, we were the first Hollywood company to cooperate with Laobai, and we have been working together quite happily, but now...... These movies have nothing to do with us anymore! Have you ever wondered how big this potential loss really is? ”
“……”
Nodding silently, Richard? Feynman had nothing to say.
Loss?
If you think about it with your thighs, that's hundreds of millions of dollars!
"But what can we do?"
Hesitated, Richard? Feynman smiled bitterly: "Actually, I have been in contact with Laobai's agent, and I have been trying to continue to cooperate, but ...... Charles, it's not the time for Laobai to seek a collaboration with Hollywood a few years ago! In fact, which of those giants doesn't want to be able to cooperate with him now? We are ...... at Shaklu Pictures"
The words still didn't speak, because it made people sad to say it.
Whether it is the strength of the film company itself or the ability to distribute it globally, there is a clear gap between Shaklo and those old giants, Richard? Feynman really can't figure it out, why should Laobai continue to cooperate with you?
"No, it's not like we don't have a chance!"
Although I understand the meaning of the old friend, but Charles? George didn't agree, but raised his eyebrows, and a trace of terrifying essence suddenly erupted in his eyes!
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
Take a deep breath, Charles? George said in a deep voice: "I mean, we are not completely without advantages compared to those giants! ”
"This ...... I don't understand! ”
Shaking his head, Richard? Feynman's brow furrowed.
He really can't think of Charles? What kind of meaning does George want to express, I really can't think of what kind of advantages Sakoro Pictures has compared with the five giants of Hollywood. After all, in terms of capital, heritage, overall strength and global distribution capabilities, Shakelu is far from them, not to mention the connections that have long been accumulated in the long history of the Big Five.
If nothing else, take a look at the three major directors in Hollywood.
Basically, everyone will always cooperate with a certain giant, even if they have their own production company, the investment and distribution cannot escape the control of the giants. It's like one of the three directors and Henry, who once set a box office record all over the world? Kutcher, the independent film company, did not and did not escape the fate of being bought by the giants?
Unless......
Richard? Feynman suddenly thought of a possibility, and that was Charles? George wants to give Laobai an unprecedented share of the box office, which is more than the proportion of the director's triumvirate or several super first-line actors!
"No, that's not right!"
The thought just came to mind, Richard? Feynman immediately shook his head, denying his own thoughts.
Let's not talk about whether the Big Five will give the same, just say that if Sha Kelu does this, it will break the rules of Hollywood, and it will be besieged by all film companies! Even if you can win over a guy who can make money like Laobai, it's too much to lose.
So, what is it exactly?
In Richard? Feynman looked at him with a puzzled look, Charles? George blinked his eyes and said, "Sincerity, Richard, it's sincerity!" As a Hollywood film company, we are willing to help Huaxia Film's sincerity ......"
