Chapter 434: Film Career (2-in-1)

The story of the third act ends with the protagonist and others going through a hard battle, conquering the arsenal, unlocking it, obtaining heavy weapons, and returning in time.

With heavy weaponry, they blasted through the defenses of the pirates dressed in American armor 'Warrior's Light' and made their way into the main control room.

Then, on the one hand, they guarded the main control room and the arsenal, and on the other hand, they also discovered the location of the technical units captured by the pirates.

The pirates took hostages and made a lot of unrealistic threats.

The captain copes with it on one side, while on the other side, the protagonist and others quietly lie in ambush.

Then, they blasted through two walls and the ceiling of the hall, and the gods descended!

The gunfire fired, and the pirate leader was beaten into a sieve, and the pirates present were basically killed and eliminated.

At this point, the screening has not long come to an end.

The main content of the rest is about the content of a space funeral held by the soldiers for their teammates who died in this battle, and the question is clicked at the end.

We are against war and violence, but we are not afraid.

……

After watching the movie, Zhang Cheng walked out of the movie theater with his classmates.

The sunset in the afternoon made the teenager who had just come out of the Hunan environment of the movie theater feel a little dazzling.

Maybe it's not the sun shining, but it's reminiscing about the movie.

His Chinese grades are not very good, if you want him to think about it, except for '! It's so pretty', I really can't think of any other adjectives for a while.

But he really thought it was cool to watch.

In the middle section, the protagonist and others suffered a relatively large trough and encountered threats to their lives, and at the same time, the starship was hijacked by interstellar pirates, which made Zhang Cheng feel a little aggrieved. But in the end, the Marine Corps where the protagonist is located, not afraid of life and death, and the dangerous moves, still make him feel very relieved.

Especially in the final climax, the picture of the armored soldiers fighting the enemy outside the starship and in the environment of outer space is full of imagination, which is tantamount to an enlightenment to space and the outside world for him.

It's not popular science, it's interest.

Through this kind of enthusiastic content, it is an honor for the movie "Fearless Assault" to let young people be enlightened about space, the future, and the ideal of defending the country.

Then, entering the interior of the starship, the armored warriors strode forward, destroying the enemy one by one, and launching a decisive charge; Outside the arsenal, the protagonist Lei Bin finally shows the spirit of a Chinese soldier, takes on a difficult task, and finally succeeds in opening a breakthrough; When the hostages were finally rescued, a strange soldier descended from the sky in the walls and ceiling blasted by a directed energy projectile......

These images are all imprinted in his mind.

……

The box office results of "Fearless Assault" are not bad. Relying on the popularity brought by all parties, the box office of this movie reached 360 million on the day of its release. Then, the sales volume in two days also reached 320 million and 260 million respectively.

The results of the first weekend of the entire release came to 940 million, which is a little regrettable and did not break 1 billion.

Under this box office result, the outside world has gone viral, and Wedo Entertainment has created an excellent movie work again.

However, in the following week, when it came to the weekday, the box office of the movie had a relatively large dive. There is only about 170 million results, but despite this, the total box office has exceeded the figure of 1.1 billion.

Then, by the end of the second week, there was a relatively large recovery.

The most important factor, of course, is because of the impact of the rest day, the box office of the two days of the second week and weekend added up to more than 400 million, and at the same time, the total box office data was pushed up to the scale of 1.5 billion.

Furthermore, group ticket purchases from various schools and institutions also contributed a considerable part of the box office.

This part of the income is just the beginning in the second week, and it is getting more and more in the future.

It is precisely because of this that the follow-up box office of "Dauntless Assault" has been stabilized to a certain extent.

At the end of the third week, the total box office of this movie came to 1.9 billion, which was quite surprising compared to the results of the second week.

Although it did not break the 2 billion mark, the screening time of this movie will be at least 12 weeks or more. After winning nearly 2 billion box office in the first three weeks, it seems that it is not impossible to consider the box office results of about 1 billion in the next nine weeks, that is, in a little more than two months.

At present, the basic performance line set by various domestic analysis media for the movie "Fearless Assault" is the box office of 3 billion.

Most people think that this movie finally breaks through this line, and it is not a big problem.

The media from all sides are also boiling again.

On the head of Wedo Entertainment, it was crowned with the name of 'Three Billion Manufacturing Machine'. The meaning of this nickname refers to the fact that Wedo Entertainment can always easily create a work with a domestic box office of more than 3 billion yuan, as if for them, the threshold line of 3 billion is the same as not existing.

They have stubbornly raised the benchmark for commercial blockbusters made in China by a large margin.

Now, 'Chinese blockbusters', these four words, are no longer like in the past, just a supplement to Hollywood works in people's viewing experience, but have really become a major choice for people in their daily movie-watching. Made locally, it can already do a direct head-on confrontation with Hollywood works.

It's not just dimension entertainment.

It's true that they are pioneers, and for the time being, there is really no other company in China that can do it to a similar extent, and it is also true. But for the film industry as a whole, it's not just about producing a strong studio.

In the past, in China's film industry, it was a blockbuster produced by Hollywood's industrial production.

is a huge Chinese film market, which is already the overall box office volume, which is equal to North America, or even larger than North America.

But in this box office, the most profitable is still Hollywood movies.

Their works, produced through large investments in industrialization, have achieved a position that is impossible for other producers to achieve in terms of visual effects. Except for Hollywood, no film producer in any country or region dares to invest nearly 100 million dollars to create a movie.

It's not just China, like European films that were glorious in the past, but now they can only rely on some literary films, experimental films, and avant-garde films to survive; The former Hong Kong film market has declined into a niche, only living in the feelings of some people, and occasionally being able to cheat the corpse, and relying on feelings to sell a wave of tickets; Korean movies that have been blown into the sky have only achieved relatively good results in some realistic themes and small-investment movie themes......

As for Chinese films, it is like a comedy theme close to people's lives, which is the only genre produced in the domestic market for a long time in the past, and it can make money. Previously, almost most of the movie superstars produced in mainland China were from comedies.

Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Deng Chao, Shen Teng......

Of course, occasionally some other types of movies can be released, but no matter what other genre, it is difficult to compare with this local comedy theme in terms of making money and investment returns.

China's development is getting better and better, and if you really want to make some high-investment, large-scale film works, someone must be able to afford it. But capitalists are not philanthropists, they make such large-scale investments, they have to see the benefits, and they will invest only if they can make money.

I'm going to smash a small-budget comedy safely, use a little dialect, a little, pee and fart, a lot of money, invite a few comedy stars, and I can steadily take a lot of money from the market, so why should I be full of support, invest hundreds of millions of capital, and smash what domestic commercial blockbusters?

For the audience, for a long time, a basic concept has been formed for domestic films. When I hear domestic films, my first reaction is that they are inferior movies that rely on traffic stars; Or hilarious homegrown comedy. No one really hopes much for domestic blockbusters, and with so many mature Hollywood movies to choose from on the market, why go to see domestic ones?

But later, the market situation changed abruptly, and a Wu Jing was killed out of the sky, so everything became different.

A "Wolf Warrior 2" kicked off the prelude to heavy industry military action movies, collecting more than 5 billion yuan, and also put a lot of black material on Wu Jing's head.

For many investors in commercial films, Wu Jing is very bad.

We can make money by feeding to the audience well, what does it mean for you to come and cook a table of dishes?

Then, they invested and starred in filming a "The Wandering Earth", which swelled the faces of a group of people who held the idea that 'China has no soil for making science fiction movies now'.

Good guy, this wave down, it's too hard to even hang too much black material. The power of the people is the greatest, maybe the first part can't explain too much, but two in a row is enough to make the audience wake up and understand who is really making movies with their hearts and who is feeding.

Later, Wedo Entertainment came out.

After testing the waters through the "Hell Apartment" series, they began to make big-budget commercial films.

first created their own "Martial Arts Grandmaster" series of IPs, and made the movie "War", which won more than 3 billion box office; Another "Demacia: Glory" not only won the box office results comparable to "Wolf Warrior 2" in China, but also won the top five total box office status of film and television in the global market; "Taiwu Picture Scroll" and "Night Hunter", the two movies are also domestic box office results of more than 3 billion, and some overseas box office results are added to it.

Now, I understand that it turns out that it is possible to make a real large-investment commercial film with a real production level in China, and it can make a lot of money.

Capital is shameless.

Capital will not remember what they have said, they will only remember what is profitable and what is profitable.

It turns out that if a Chinese film makes a big investment, does it seriously, and comes up with good quality, it can also earn money for nothing, and the income ratio is not low.

With such a beginning, there will naturally be people who are willing to really invest in it.

In such an environment, in the past two years, I have heard that many film investors have either really invested a lot of money, or a number of joint investments, in short, they have also made several commercial films with large investments.

They don't dare to rush the production cost of the movie to the point where it is close to or even more than hundreds of millions of dollars like Dimension Entertainment, but if they invest 200 million or 300 million yuan, they dare to try it.

Don't underestimate this amount of money, if you convert it to dollars, an investment of 40 or 50 million US dollars, that is also a medium-scale production level.

Of course, there are still losers who make similar investments.

Film investment is a high-risk thing. Even if it is as mature as Hollywood, many high-investment blockbusters are very common to hit the street at the end.

But there are also successful ones.

For example, at the beginning of the year, the modern-themed action movie "Heavenly Fire Descending to Earth" that fought with "Taiwu Picture Scroll" in the Spring Festival stalls had a good performance. In the end, the box office also won more than 2 billion, compared with the investment of 300 million, it must have made a lot of money.

In addition, there are several other similar cases.

Commercial blockbuster investment has its risks, but it also has its high threshold.

The requirements for a high production level and a larger investment scale have formed a relatively high competitive barrier with others. Small players can't get in, only big predators can play. In the case of a small number of such films, in fact, the audience's choice is not as big as imagined, in the case of a good aggregation effect, in fact, the film was shot a little poorly, failed to make money, and finally relied on the box office to recover part of the cost, and then through other copyright operation methods, it is still possible to earn back the cost.

And as long as it makes money, it makes a lot of money.

Since then, the capitalists who have tasted the sweetness have gradually become bolder, daring to shoot more such films and dare to make greater investments.

I believe that in the future, China's film industry will be more blooming.

Of course, Wedo Entertainment has launched more and better commercial blockbusters, but at the same time, other players in the industry can also greatly prosper this market.

In this regard, Fan Zhe, as the CEO of Wedo Group, not only did not feel unhappy because of a large number of competitors, but was happy to see it.

He is not such a narrow-minded person, and he can make a contribution to the progress of the motherland's film industry, which is also a very honorable thing for him.

As for competition, he is very happy to have more people to compete with Wedo Entertainment, he is not afraid of any competition!
