173 Misfortune does not come alone
"War Tiger" hit the box office!
With an investment of 80 million, the box office barely exceeded 200 million, and the net box office income was more than 60 million.
Lost about 10 million!
Of course, a movie is not only box office income, but also follow-up network copyright income, advertising, overseas copyright, peripheral products, etc., which is also a continuous income.
But this money, because the payment cycle is too long, and it is still a trickle, for investors, many times it can only be said that it is better than nothing, unless the movie is particularly popular.
Therefore, the public, and even investors, often only stare at the box office.
To tell the truth, although "War Tiger" hit the streets, the loss is not serious, and if you count the follow-up income, it will be a loss of several million.
This is really not a big deal in the film investment industry.
After all, no matter how famous a film company is, it can't guarantee that one vote will be accurate.
However, the investment failure of "War Tiger" was still watched by people with a magnifying glass, and even publicized by everyone.
"The myth of Changdong Film and Television was shattered, and the 80 million investment was only recovered 60 million, and the loss was 20 million!"
"After counting Changdong's film investment career, there are almost no defeats, and now the myth is broken!"
"Changdong has lost Jingzhou, and now it has lost Maicheng, and Waterloo has become a fact."
Changdong is famous!
At the end of 2014, because of the one-click WIFI fire, it became a sensation on the Internet almost overnight and became a winner in life!
At a young age, he started from scratch and grabbed a huge fortune, which was even more talked about by the public.
However, how beautiful he was before, how embarrassed he is now!
"I'll go, someone started a business at a young age, and he became an investor at a young age? Where did he get the money to invest? ”
"What is worth tens of billions, it's all bank money, the bigger the bubble blows, the worse it will be when it is punctured!"
"I took a look, the movies he invested in before seemed to be small-budget movies, and the money was floating, and he dared to invest in unpopular war films, I really don't know how to write the word arrogance?"
"I heard that Zhan Hu still has two, it seems that they are already filming, with an investment of 200 million, I don't know, can I continue to shoot now?"
"Shoot a fart, do you want to wait for a flaw?"
From the stars holding the moon to the thousands of people, there is only one movie apart!
At this moment, no one knows how much pressure Chang Dong is undertaking!
The house leak happened to rain overnight!
With the failure of "War Tiger", Chang Dong's marketing layout in Shili Peach Blossom was also poked out.
It's just that this time public opinion can be called one-sided!
"Ten miles of peach blossoms staged a farce of the owner's rights protection, suspected of Changdong's marketing plan, and now the ten miles of peach blossom houses are almost sold out! Earn two billion in anger! ”
As soon as this article revealed countless insider stories came out, it was read by 100,000 people almost overnight!
Countless netizens were even more stunned!
"Damn, awesome, still bring this?"
"True Nyima Genius!"
"The city can play, I want to go back to the countryside!"
"True Nyima profiteer, deserve bad luck!"
"Nima, it's all a routine, this makes it impossible for me to look directly at those owners' rights protection incidents."
"The dog is in the east, his heart is too dark, he is about to go bankrupt, and he will pit our people's money when he leaves!"
"Yes, once he goes bankrupt, the commercial call center will definitely be unfinished, and the ten-mile peach blossom house will definitely not be worth anything at that time."
"Chang Dong seems to be extremely forced, but in this wave of operations, at least half of the loans have come up!"
"I didn't read the article carefully when I looked upstairs, Chang Dong only accounted for 20% of the shares in Shili Peach Blossom, and he didn't have much money."
"The operation is as fierce as a tiger, and the result is all to make wedding dresses for others, and they deserve it!"
For a while, Chang Dong, who had won a trace of sympathy, has now become a scolding!
The reputation is almost stinky!
In the evening, Lin Shuxue, who was still filming "War Tiger 2" abroad, made an international call, but after the call was connected, she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.
Chang Dong said: "Are you in trouble?" If you have any questions, just say it, and I will do my best to help you solve it. ”
"I'm sorry......" Lin Shuxue's voice choked up, and she cried bitterly on the phone.
Chang Dong pursed his lips, unable to speak.
He knew why Lin Shuxue apologized.
film investment, he really succeeded Lin Shuxue, and defeated Lin Shuxue.
He made Lin Shuxue popular single-handedly, how do you think that "War Tiger" also suffered Waterloo because of Lin Shuxue.
Regarding the role of "War Tiger", the only one Chang Dong intervened was Lin Shuxue.
He used his identity as an investor to push Lin Shuxue to the heroine position.
What do you think, Lin Shuxue has always been an idol before, and suddenly filming this kind of hormones-bursting tough guy film, the style conflict is secondary, and the most important thing is that many viewers don't buy it.
This caused "War Tiger" to be polarized before it was released!
Most people are not optimistic, and only a very small number of die-hard fans support it.
So after the movie was released, the box office instantly lay down!
Everyone in the industry knows that in the movie industry, the box office is very important when it is first released.
This will become a key indicator, and when the audience books tickets, they will definitely subconsciously refer to the box office rankings of the day and choose according to the list.
IF YOU ARE RANKED LOW, YOU WILL DEFINITELY SUBCONSCIOUSLY PASS IT.
In addition, the poor results at the time of release will also affect the film scheduling rate behind the theater.
Once the film scheduling rate is too low, how can it be possible to still want the box office to explode?
In fact, from Chang Dong's point of view, Lin Shuxue's performance was not bad, she was completely trapped by the "idol baggage".
This can be seen from a pinned movie review:
I thought that with Lin Shuxue, it would be made into a love film with the skin of a war movie, but I didn't expect Lin Shuxue's performance to be so amazing, this is an underrated movie, the wall cracks recommended! ’
Yes, War Tiger is really underrated.
is like "Animal World", which was also played by Xiao Xianrou in his previous life, and the results were not good, not because of the quality of the movie, but because it was completely affected by people's inherent impressions.
Therefore, with the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the mid-to-late stage results of "War Tiger" are actually okay.
However, he encountered strong opponents during the schedule, so that the box office ended with 200 million.
Chang Dong didn't know what the results of "War Tiger" did in his previous life, but he could be sure that it would definitely be better than him.
Because if the results are not good, the second part will not be refilmed.
"It's okay, it's not your fault, don't be pressured, someone is deliberately messing with me!" Chang Dong pretended to be relaxed and comforted.
On the other side of the phone, Lin Shuxue was choked up and almost speechless.
"If you want to help me, then shoot the Warrior 2." Chang Dong added.
The funds of War Tiger 2 have been invested, and more than half of the movie has been filmed, so it is impossible to say that the funds will be withdrawn.
To be honest, Chang Dong was also stirred up a wave of anger!
Even if he could withdraw now, he would not withdraw his investment.
He is bankrupt, and he wants to shoot "War Tiger 2"!
Hung up the phone.
Chang Dong took a deep breath, leaned on the back seat of the car, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
At this time, he had just gotten off the plane and was on his way to Zhao's house in Yixing, and he wanted to seek Zhao Fugui's help in person.
In the previous life, the filming of "War Tiger 2" took nearly a year.
In this life, because of the seamless undertaking of "War Tiger", the preparation time is saved, and the funds are in place, so the time should be compressed to two to three months.
In addition, "War Tiger 2" is not a special effects blockbuster that mainly relies on post-production.
Many of the war scenes in this film are on-site explosions and live-action shooting, so the post-production difficulty is very small, and the main difficulty is reflected in the filming.
Therefore, this movie, which was only approved in early March, is estimated to be released in July and August at most.
That's fast!
But for Chang Dong, it's still too slow.
Because by mid-May, his debts will explode.
Seriously, he's really on the verge of being cornered right now.
No, to be precise, he still has a trick that doesn't work.
This trick is called the bottom of the kettle, in the name of minors, to do the feat of wind and water cold, and to strengthen the soul of a hunter!
But this trick can't be used now, it's too suspicious.
Although he has planned countless filings, theoretically there should be no accidents, but Chang Dong still postponed this move.
Because...... It's not dead yet!
Because...... It's not the best time yet!
Tao Peng?
Chang Dong closed his eyes and slowly chanted the name, his eyes covered by his eyelids flashing with infinite killing intent.
