492. Horror Revenue & Box Office! Hollywood companies take a shot!
It's going crazy!
Exploded!
This is the first thought and intuitive feeling of people in the entertainment industry after watching the movie The Matrix.
Many producers of movies released during the Spring Festival are regretting it at this time......
Before watching the movie, they still had a trace of fantasy, thinking that Wang Cheng was only nineteen years old, and he could have acting skills, which can be said to be talent, but being a director is not talented.
Every director needs to learn and accumulate step by step from the basics, even if he is talented, it only shortens the learning time, and it is impossible to independently direct a blockbuster at the beginning!
That's not talent, it's a demon!
They all think that Wang Cheng's movie may be a bad movie, and they still have a chance, and after Wang Cheng's movie reputation collapses and the box office collapses, they will be able to snatch the screen of the Matrix!
But now after reading it!
Everyone in the crew was a little dumbfounded and regretful.
After Jiang Bin and Li Youhua said goodbye to Xie Xingfeng and Qin Shangran, they returned to Jiang Bin's luxurious courtyard in the capital, both of them were silent all the way, not knowing what to say, and they were still playing back the content of the Matrix they had just finished watching.
The shocking sci-fi pictures made them constantly recall them all the way back.
The two have not seen such a shocking and unforgettable film for many years.
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Bin first made a cup of tea, and in the middle of the night, neither of them felt the slightest sleep!
Jiang Bin said softly: "Unwilling! Why did you run into Wang Cheng......"
He is ambitious for his films, because every step of his work is carefully prepared and meticulously crafted by him, and every detail is spent a lot of thought, and he naturally wants to get more returns, whether it is box office or word-of-mouth awards, he wants it.
But after watching The Matrix, he knew that his new film would definitely make money, but it would definitely not meet his expectations, whether it was the box office or word-of-mouth awards, he might encounter a trough in his life!
It's not his work......
Rather, the opponent is too strong.
Li Youhua asked softly, "How much is our box office?" ”
Jiang Bin: "More than 50 million pre-sales, and it is expected to exceed 100 million in one day!" However, the pre-sale of the Matrix is more than 200 million. Now that the word-of-mouth is still so terrifying, there will definitely be more screens in the future, it depends on who is unlucky to reduce the screen! Counting the added screens, the box office of the Matrix on the first day may break 300 million! ......" will be added at the end.
"However, I believe that our screen will certainly not decrease, and that should be guaranteed."
Li Youhua nodded: "That's for sure!" Hey, I really didn't expect that in just three months, Wang Cheng would be able to make such a movie, he is really a peerless genius that no one can imagine. Having worked with him, I thought his musical talent was amazing enough, but now it seems that his talent in movies is even more amazing. ”
Jiang Bin shook his head lightly: "That's definitely not as good as his talent in literature." ”
Li Youhua paused for a moment, and then agreed: "That's for sure!" In literature, he is already comparable to the great writers of the ages. I won't talk about this, I'll just talk about his achievements in the entertainment industry! If we count the literary achievements, then we may not be qualified to talk to him. ”
Jiang Bin snorted.
Although he has always been proud and conceited, no one looks down on him.
However, he also recognized one point, that is, if Wang Cheng's literary achievements are correctly understood, then they are really not qualified to talk to Wang Cheng.
The existence of great writers through the ages, how can they be qualified to stand in front of Wang Cheng and speak in front of Wang Cheng in the drama of the entertainment industry?
Sighing again, Jiang Bin had a feeling of helplessness.
He thought about using the energy he had accumulated in the Beijing circle for decades to suppress Wang Cheng's Matrix, and used his connections to forcibly increase the number of screens in his movies.
But......
He knew it was all in vain.
Because.
Wang Cheng's popularity is there, and the whole network is full of his name and the name of the movie, which cannot be suppressed.
In addition, Wang Cheng's Matrix Empire even felt amazing when he saw it, and it was even more impossible to suppress it.
Moreover, the cinema chain is also to make money.
The Spring Festival file is the most important movie schedule of the year, and many theaters are waiting for the Spring Festival file to make a wave of quick money, Wang Cheng's movies are the most profitable, and people will definitely add screens to the most profitable movies as much as possible, and they can also earn more.
If Jiang Bin forcibly adds a screen to himself, it will hinder others from making money, and people may temporarily agree to it for the sake of human face, but the Spring Festival stalls will still be long, and people will definitely continue to add screens to the Matrix to increase income!
Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing parents!
Therefore, forcible operation is more than worth the loss.
The opponent is really strong and invulnerable.
For the first time, Jiang Bin faced an opponent who was so impeccable that he was helpless.
Rubbing his brows, Jiang Bin suddenly felt a little tired, and said helplessly: "Resign yourself to fate, it's good that our propaganda continues to go step by step, and the box office is as much as it is!" ”
Tired!
So be it.
Li Youhua is also in the same mood at this time, no matter how he operates, he can't stop his opponent, so it's better to simply give up and rest by eating and drinking.
"Okay, so be it!"
Li Youhua stood up and wanted to leave.
Jiang Bin suddenly said: "That's right! Do you have time tomorrow? ”
Li Youhua: "Yes, I don't participate in publicity, I will rest at home during the New Year!" ”
Jiang Bin: "Let's go to the cinema tomorrow to watch a Matrix, let's go?" ”
Li Youhua: "Okay, together!" To be honest, I really want to watch it again. ”
The two seem to have returned to their youth, when the capital had just introduced foreign blockbusters, and they still deeply remember the shock when they watched a Hollywood blockbuster for the first time, the visually impactful picture, they still remember that they went to the cinema five or six times at that time.
Now, they have found the feeling of watching a Hollywood blockbuster for the first time in their youth, and they have the urge to go to the cinema and watch it again.
……
The night passed!
This night, many people did not sleep.
Not only because of Chinese New Year's Eve, but also because many people watch movies in the cinema and do not go home to sleep.
The Internet is full of screens discussing the topic of The Matrix and Wang Cheng.
Every viewer who watched the Matrix wanted to say a few words on the Internet to express their excitement and shock.
"It's so cool, it's really cool, Wang Cheng, An Keru are so cool, those long legs, that cold appearance and temperament, plus the sharp fight, it makes me look cool!"
"In the last days, human beings are used as biological batteries by machine AI, and their consciousness lives in the virtual world, which is terrible, because we can't prove that our current world is real, maybe we are trapped in the virtual world by machines now?"
"AI is so scary, let's stop developing AI technology!"
"Love, love, Wang Cheng is really handsome, An Keru is really sassy!"
"I didn't sleep all night, I watched it three times! The movie theater was supposed to be closed, and hundreds of us begged them not to close, so we added a few more shows, and it was still full. ”
"The villain started out as an antivirus, specializing in cleaning out hackers who invaded the real world, and ended up mutating into a virus? Is that the case? Is it the battle between Wang Cheng, the savior, and the computer virus? ”
"The same three brushes, it's cool, it's been a long time since I've watched a movie so refreshingly! I went to bed, and I woke up and went to see it again! ”
"This year's Spring Festival, Wang Cheng's movie is the most amazing!"
"It's so cool......"
"Wang Cheng, so handsome!"
"The Matrix tickets are sold out during the day today?"
"Who has a movie ticket for The Matrix today contact me......"
……
Morning!
Wang Cheng got up and had breakfast, and then walked around the alley, looking for the feeling of his previous life.
Xia Xi also got up with Wang Cheng, adjusted the work and rest time the same, and said next to Wang Cheng: "The Matrix has been released, and word of mouth has exploded!" It is expected that the box office will also explode, and I will call Director Shen later to ask how much the box office is. ”
Wang Cheng didn't care about this, he drank it slowly with a cup of freshly ground soy milk in his hand, looking left and right.
Xia Xi is used to Wang Cheng's indifference, as an assistant, she will report the information about Wang Cheng to Wang Cheng every day, even if Wang Cheng doesn't care about it, she insists on doing so.
"The sales of the few songs you uploaded yesterday all exceeded 300 million! The highest is because of love, and the sales volume has reached more than 360 million! The lowest is the farewell, and the sales volume is also 310 million! Seven songs, with a total sales of more than 2 billion. I received a message from Penguin Music, and they said that the exclusive debut fee will arrive today, a total of 1.5 billion before taxes, and they will help you file your taxes. ”
1.5 billion before tax is just an exclusive initial offering fee.
The sales of the seven songs were as high as about 24 billion in less than 24 hours, and Wang Cheng could at least get more than 2 billion.
In other words, in one day, Wang Cheng earned more than 3.5 billion yuan just by relying on seven songs!
This speed of making money, even Xia Xi, who was born in a famous family and is used to seeing many behind-the-scenes bigwigs in the Beijing circle, was a little shocked in his heart.
It's really faster than a money printing machine......
Xia Xi looked at Wang Cheng's expression, and saw that Wang Cheng was still calm and calm, as if he hadn't heard it, he admired Wang Cheng even more in his heart, and continued: "A few days of the Spring Festival are vacation time, Wang Cheng, do you have a place you want to go?" ”
Wang Cheng said softly: "Let's go home and take a look!" ”
It's been so long since he was reborn in this world, and he hasn't gone back to see it, but occasionally receives a few phone calls from his parents, who don't care too much about his current achievements and money, only care about whether he is doing well or not, and tell him not to have too much pressure and so on!
From the calm at the beginning, he now wants to go back and reunite with the two of them for the New Year.
Xia Xi: "Okay, then I'll book a plane ticket now!" ”
Wang Cheng snorted, turned around and walked towards his residence.
Xia Xi hurriedly followed, and at the same time immediately used his mobile phone to book a plane ticket for Wang Cheng.
……
Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui had already returned to the base camp of the Demon Capital from the capital overnight.
Morning.
Shen Shenghui did not rest, and hurried to the company.
There are not many people working overtime in the company, but the bosses Qin Yuhai and Qin Mo also arrived at the company early.
Shen Shenghui knocked on the door of Qin Yuhai's office, and then walked in, and saw Qin Mo reporting the situation to Qin Yuhai.
Qin Mo said excitedly: "Last night, I received calls from several large theaters, saying that they would increase the schedule of our Matrix Empire. I didn't expect that they would increase so much, and almost all the night was playing The Matrix, and it was still hard to get a ticket. As of half an hour ago, the box office has exceeded 300 million! Together with tomorrow's box office pre-sales, our total box office revenue has now exceeded 600 million. ”
"Moreover, the word-of-mouth of the movie is still brewing and exploding, there are almost no bad reviews, and there may continue to be more films scheduled in the future, and I will continue to follow up. I have a hunch that the box office of The Matrix will break more than 3 billion, and it may even set a new box office record for Chinese movies! ”
Qin Mo hadn't slept all night, but his spirit was unprecedentedly excited.
She has long watched the finished film of The Matrix, so she has always been very confident in this movie, believing that the Matrix will be successful after its release.
However, she didn't expect that it would be such a hit after just one night.
Many theaters canceled their nightly breaks and screened the Matrix in full, which is why it created such a horrible box office for one night.
Plus the film schedule that will inevitably increase in the future!
Qin Mo, who has a lot of experience in the industry, can't predict where the final box office of The Matrix will fall.
However, she is sure that it will reach at least three billion at the box office.
This is also enough to enter the top ten in the history of the Chinese box office!
Qin Yuhai's face was calm, he didn't speak much, and his eyes were obviously not very happy.
No matter how high the box office is, it has nothing to do with him, this is Wang Cheng's income.
"Have you talked to Wang Cheng about copyright issues? He left obvious space for a sequel to this movie, and he wanted to make it into a series for a long time, right? As long as he is willing to talk, I can negotiate any conditions. ”
Qin Yuhai looked at Qin Mo and asked in a deep voice.
As long as he can get the benefits and the dominance of the sequel, Qin Yuhai will have a huge room for operation.
The benefits that a sequel to such an explosive sci-fi movie can bring are simply unimaginable......
The income derived from copyright may exceed the box office, and the benefits brought by the popularity of its star artists are also huge.
It can almost revitalize a large entertainment group.
Qin Mo shook his head lightly: "Wang Cheng refuses to talk to me!" I'm going to see him again today. ”
Qin Yuhai: "Well, get the copyright of the Matrix as soon as possible." The news about The Matrix is not a secret to the outside world, and other film companies must not be allowed to take the lead. Otherwise, it will be a great loss for us! ”
Qin Mo: "Okay, I know!" ”
Qin Mo participated in the production of The Matrix for the first time as a producer, and of course she wanted to continue to make this series and make herself more successful.
Shen Shenghui said softly: "Mr. Qin, Qin Mo!" In the middle of the night last night, someone from a foreign film company called me! ”
Qin Yuhai and Qin Mo looked at Shen Shenghui suspiciously and in surprise at the same time: "Foreign film companies? ”
Shen Shenghui nodded: "Yes, a second-rate company in Hollywood wants to buy the foreign distribution rights and foreign adaptation rights of the Matrix!" ”
Qin Yuhai and Qin Mo's eyes flashed with surprise again!
It's only been one night.
Is there a Hollywood studio that wants to buy the distribution rights and adaptation rights?
