Chapter 692: Booking the Year Crown? The reputation of the Misty Theater has declined

The Spring Festival movies have been released for a month, and they have been released one after another.

Only "The Wandering Earth" was postponed and continued to be released for another month.

A month after its release, the single-day box office of "The Wandering Earth" can reach 8 million.

And the total box office has exceeded 4.6 billion.

According to this box office data, as long as there is no dark horse with a big explosion this year, there is a high probability that this year's annual box office champion will be booked.

postponed for a month, the follow-up box office should still have tens of millions, and the final box office will be around 4.7 billion.

This box office data is already the highest box office data in three years.

Therefore, many entertainment media are issuing press releases, believing that "The Wandering Earth" has been scheduled for the annual crown.

Moreover, the news headlines are very eye-catching, because if you win the annual crown again this year, it will be a third consecutive championship.

[Three years ago, Fang Xing returned to the big screen, and three years later, he will win the annual box office for the third time in a row. 】

What magic does he have? The three fields of film and television can dominate. 】

["The Wandering Earth" opened a new era in the history of Chinese films, and science fiction movies are no longer untouchable themes. 】

[From a rookie director to three consecutive box office crowns of the year, it only took three years. 】

[The Best Actor in the Movie has been won, and Fang Xing is still one Best Director trophy away. 】

[Fang Xing personally admitted that there will be a second part of "The Wandering Earth", will the sequel be able to continue the legend? ] 】

……

The release of "The Wandering Earth" has come to an end, but the publicity work is not completely over.

Because after the original release, there was also an online platform to be released.

The online release of the movie also has a lot of income.

After all, not every viewer has time to go to the cinema.

During the Spring Festival, there will still be many audiences who do not have time to go into the cinema due to work, holiday life and other reasons.

And sometimes, "The Wandering Earth" is about to be released.

Although "The Wandering Earth" was postponed for a month, in fact, by the second month, there were very few films.

After all, there will be new movies released, and most of the audiences who want to watch them have already seen them, and it is impossible for theaters to give "The Wandering Earth" so many films.

In the second month, the proportion of scheduled films is less than 10%, and there will be fewer prime-time shows in the evening.

This schedule will become less and less with the release time.

Because, even if some viewers want to watch it, there may not be a suitable number of shows.

Therefore, there will be viewers who wait until it is released on the Internet and then watch it on video sites.

In addition to this, there are also some viewers who are considering swiping on video sites for a second time.

Watching in the cinema, there may be some details that you don't understand, but on the video website, you can watch it repeatedly, and the price will be much cheaper than the cinema, which is more suitable for second and third brushes.

When "The Wandering Earth" was about to be released, Ark Culture cooperated with major video websites to carry out online promotion.

The lead actor will participate in an online promotion event on a video site at the time of the online premiere.

In addition to this, there are also discount events around the movie.

According to the total box office of "The Wandering Earth" of 4.7 billion, the share that the film producer can get will probably be about 1.7 billion.

In addition, the income from online releases, as well as the sales of movie peripherals.

The final profit of "The Wandering Earth" will be around 2 billion.

With an investment of 500 million yuan, a return on investment of 2 billion yuan, and the company that invested in "The Wandering Earth" can be said to have made a lot of money.

As a result, Ark Culture has reached a valuation of 30 billion in the investment industry.

Not only Ark Culture, but also its subsidiary Nebula Special Effects, is also famous.

Because the special effects of "The Wandering Earth" are made by Nebula special effects.

The special effects technology was upgraded, and the first film was so successful.

Sun Jianqi had to feel when he saw the box office of "The Wandering Earth" sweeping the Spring Festival stalls

Sigh, fortunately, I chose the nebula special effect in the first place.

If I had chosen to go to the special effects company of InBev Film and Television, I am afraid that I would still be making popcorn movies like "Dark Civilization".

As a special effects artist, Sun Jianqi also has pursuits and ideals.

Who wants to make a bad movie if they can?

Of course, whether a movie is bad or not, in fact, special effects companies play a very small role in it.

What the special effects company can decide is to make a bad movie with good special effects or a bad movie with equally bad special effects.

Whether the movie is a bad movie or not depends more on the main creative team of the crew.

Obviously, "The Wandering Earth" succeeded.

When Sun Jianqi made two choices, he chose the right one.

Nebula special effects also made a name for themselves in the special effects industry with "The Wandering Earth".

Since the hit of "The Wandering Earth", there have been more and more film and television companies looking for Nebula special effects cooperation, and there are even three or four film and television projects waiting to be done.

The valuation of Nebula special effects in the investment industry has also reached 8 billion.

……

Busy with the publicity work of the online release of "The Wandering Earth".

This movie is about to be released on major video platforms across the network.

After the online release, the movie is available for an additional fee, and the price is 5 yuan.

One month after the online release, it will be converted into a member for free, get member accounts, and maximize profits.

Because "The Wandering Earth" is not an exclusive broadcast of Pea Video, and Pea Video has not been broadcast exclusively for Ark Culture dramas for a while.

However, Fang Xing is also the second largest shareholder of Pea Video, so when it is released on the Internet, he will still take more care of it.

So when "The Wandering Earth" was released online, I took the crew to hold an online event on Pea Video.

The event was a great success, with 20 million sales of movie merchandise on the same day.

After the event.

Gong Jianbin, chairman of Pea Video, also came to celebrate in person.

Subsequently, Gong Jianbin pulled Fang Xing to drink tea.

"Brother Fang, the work of "The Wandering Earth" is also over, when will we arrange a suspense film for our website. Last year's Misty Theater didn't have a good reputation, and if there are no good dramas in the Misty Theater in the first quarter of this year, the skylight will be opened." Gong Jianbin took Fang Xing's hand and begged for the TV series bitterly.

Misty Theater focuses on suspense dramas.

This thematic theater is Fang Xing's word-of-mouth opened with "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "The Darkling", and these two dramas have also become the ceiling of the Fog Theater.

The follow-up suspense dramas also have a good reputation, but there are no suspense dramas that surpass "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" in terms of word-of-mouth and playback.

Fang Xing not only created the brand of Misty Theater, but also directly covered the ceiling.

In the follow-up Misty Theater, Ark Culture will produce a suspense drama every year.

According to the drama broadcast plan of the Misty Theater, a suspense drama will be broadcast every quarter.

Therefore, Pea Video needs to find three more suspense dramas to broadcast in the Fog Theater.

Of course, if you can buy more excellent suspense dramas, it's okay to broadcast one or two more.

It's just that the Misty Theater has become a well-known thematic theater, and if a poor-quality drama is put into the theater, it will only make the quality of this thematic theater plummet, affecting the audience's confidence in the Misty Theater.

Therefore, Pea Video has strict control over the requirements for suspense dramas in the Fog Theater.

Sometimes, it's not easy to make four dramas a year.

"Mr. Gong, how can I have time to make dramas now." Fang Xing snorted.

Of course, Gong Jianbin understands that now Fang Xing's movie has achieved such a big success, no one has the time and energy to focus on TV series.

However, Gong Jianbin didn't plan to let Fang Xing shoot it himself from the beginning.

He just wants Fang Xing to be a part-time job, let his director shoot, or find a director to cooperate outside.

"I think Zhang

Director and Director Wang can also film, as long as Brother Fang checks the quality of the drama, I am confident that it will be popular." Gong Jianbin is too confident in the other party's awakening now.

Since Fang Xing entered the TV drama industry, no drama has hit the street.

It can even be said that the lower limit of Fang Xing is the upper limit that other film and television companies have been pursuing.

Zhang Yigao's "Three-Body Problem" has been broadcast for a while, and a new project is really needed.

Wang Yutao is the same.

Since filming "Do You Know", Wang Yutao has not made a feature-length film independently, and has always been an executive director in the movie.

Although Wang Yutao is very willing to be the executive director of Fang Xing, no director does not want to take the guide tube independently.

Gong Jianbin continued: "Moreover, last year's Misty Theater did not achieve good results. The score of the drama with the worst results has been as low as 5.7 points, and it is also because the work of the film selection department has not been done well, and a drama with poor quality has been chosen.

"Speaking of which, it's also a lot of work pressure, and last year there was really no suitable suspense drama, so I put the drama that I could get my hands on and broadcast it in the Misty Theater, and it turned out to be a bit of a bad reputation.

"Therefore, this year, the Misty Theater must come up with one or two excellent suspense dramas that can save word of mouth.

"Otherwise, the Misty Theater created by Brother Fang will be smashed into Brother Fang's hands."

Gong Jianbin began to sell miserably, but in fact, the broadcast volume of the Misty Theater last year was not low, after all, it was a thematic theater with a golden reputation.

In the suspense drama market, the misty theater of Pea Video is already a unique existence.

Therefore, even though a suspense drama with a bad reputation was broadcast last year, the broadcast volume was still acceptable, but it did disappoint many viewers and began to doubt the level of the Misty Theater.

Even last year, many drama critics were complaining about a point when they were doing a year-end inventory:

[The Fog Theater without Fang Awakening has lost its original light. 】

[How amazing the Misty Theater was at the beginning, how disappointed it was last year. 】

[It seems that the Misty Theater will only have magic if it is engraved with the name of the awakening.] 】

There are a lot of similar Up main complaining videos, and the performance of the Fog Theater last year was not good.

Of course, the Misty Theater has only seen a decline in word-of-mouth, and it has not yet reached the point where it has completely made the audience lose confidence.

Pea Video's performance in last year's drama was also not bad, but it was not as dazzling as when Fang Xing filmed the drama.

When the light given by God fades, it is always necessary to return to the ordinary.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will work part-time for one or two suspense dramas this year, and the specific project depends on the situation."

"That's great, Brother Fang, I know that I didn't misunderstand you, brother." Gong Jianbin suddenly hugged Fang Xing excitedly, feeling that this conversation was very pleasant.

In fact.

Gong Jianbin thinks that Fang Xing is the best one to talk about in the entertainment industry, as long as he can talk, he can really give people a lot of surprises.

When he decided to trade 20% of Pea Video's shares to Fang Xing, he was actually a little worried.

However, after several years of cooperation, he knows very well that Pea Video has the current results, and Fang Xing's contribution is great.

It can be said that letting Fang wake up and become the second largest shareholder of Pea Video is the most successful of all his strategic cooperation.

After chatting about the suspense drama, Fang Xing remembered another thing and said, "By the way, before filming the suspense drama, there is another work, do you want to broadcast it?"

"What work?" Gong Jianbin was immediately interested, and now as long as Fang Xing did it, even if it was an advertisement, he would not let it go.

"There is an animation, the first season is almost done, if Gong is interested, find a time to go to Nebula Animation to see it. If Mr. Gong is not interested, then Mr. Li will give Penguin Video." Fang Xing said this lightly.

Mr. Li of Penguin Video naturally refers to Li Xueying.

Since Li Xueying became the president of Penguin Video, she has been strengthening her cooperation with Ark Culture, and she has stubbornly gotten no in the mouth of Pea Video

Less film and television resources.

"Okay, I'll take someone to Nebula Animation in two days to take a look, is Nebula Animation a cartoon?" Gong Jianbin doesn't know what it is.

"When the time comes, you'll know when you see it."

Fang Xing is indeed looking for a broadcast platform for this cartoon.

However, it doesn't matter which platform it is broadcast on, there is not much difference.

The specific details of the cartoon, Fang Xing didn't say.

In fact, the style of this cartoon is a little rudimentary, not because of the low level of production, but because the style is like that.

Moreover, the subject matter of this cartoon is slightly sensitive.

Fortunately, there was an animated short film before, and it was broadcast on Tokai Satellite TV as V, so it was much smoother in terms of passing the review.

……

After the interview with "Filmmaker" was broadcast, the rumors about the second part of "The Wandering Earth" have not been heard.

Even within the Ark culture, this topic is discussed.

After all, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" of 4.7 billion is too dazzling, and if the second part can be released, it is foreseeable that the results will not be bad.

Therefore, there will be employees in the company who ask the management when to arrange "The Wandering Earth 2".

It's just that even the management doesn't know if there is "The Wandering Earth 2", let alone when the project will be launched.

So far, only Fang Xing has mentioned the news about "The Wandering Earth 2" in the interview, and there is no other news.

Even Qiao Yinghong couldn't help it, and asked when reporting work: "Boss, when will the project of "The Wandering Earth 2" start to prepare?"

After all, it was mentioned on "The Filmmaker", and there must be something that has been said on this kind of talk show.

"There's no rush for this, the film project needs time to settle. Next Monday, after the regular working meeting, a meeting will be held to discuss the new project and get all the management involved. In addition, Mr. Gong of Pea Video will go to Nebula Animation in two days to watch the newly completed serialized animation, and you will arrange for someone to receive you then." Fang Xing arranged the work, and was busy working on the script of the suspense drama.
