Chapter 131: An Unknown Future, An Interesting Future

"It's so profitable, it's really too profitable!" Father Shen's tone was full of sighs.

None of them had any doubt that the final box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" would exceed one billion.

This means that the domestic box office revenue alone can make Dunhuang make hemp!

Outsiders may not know, but they still don't know that the production cost of this film plus the cost of publicity and distribution is more than 40 million, and in the domestic box office alone, Dunhuang has at least 500 million income.

- This is only estimated based on the domestic box office just over one billion, and it is clear that the final figure is definitely more than that.

And what about overseas box office revenue?

Although this is a very local comedy, without the domestic social atmosphere, many baggage jokes will be greatly invalid - this is the basic unavoidable limitation of comedy films, and it can be expected that the overseas box office is much lower than the domestic box office.

But no matter how low it is, it's pure earning!

What's more, the domestic film market is already quite perfect, and the way to make a movie is not too dependent on the box office, except for the box office part, the profit of movie peripheral products is higher than the box office income.

Pinch your fingers and calculate, the net profit brought by a movie to Dunhuang is the net profit of the two of them selling toys and clothing for a year!

"Isn't it just a complete explosion of the company? To put it mildly, more than half of the listed companies have a profit that is not as good as such a movie in a year! Ms. Wang took over the topic and said, "Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted so much criticism." ”

"Not to attract envy is mediocrity!" Ms. Jiang clenched her fists and denounced.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's indignant appearance, Shen's father smiled helplessly: "Mainly, who would have thought that the opening of a new era in the film market would be such a small-budget comedy, such an obscure director, and such an excessively young screenwriter, well, and now there is such a scene-stealing 'Charlotte'......"

The last joke made everyone laugh.

Only Wang Wei was lazily lying on the sofa, continuing to wander.

Indeed, if it is a big production, a big director, and a new record for a single film box office explosion, it must be overwhelming praise in the media.

changed to "Charlotte's Troubles", many people's first reaction was, "Where is it matched", and then the criticism came.

Old man Xia's reply on TV can be described as very happy.

As for his other predictions, that's a matter of opinion -

"The commercial success brought by "Charlotte" will definitely stimulate a new round of hot money to pour into the film market, and the film market is about to boil." Father Shen agrees with this the most.

"That is, seeing such huge profits, if I didn't have spare money, I would want to throw it into the film industry." Ms. Wang glanced at the distracted child, shook her head and said to the others: "I don't know what I'm thinking, and I don't know how this stupid boy can rob money like this." ”

"It's just you, an unscrupulous mother, that you think he's stupid." Ms. Jiang glanced at her best friend, and subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "Maybe he was brewing a more profitable idea in his genius head." Girl, are you right? ”

Shen Zhenyi, who was named again, looked at Wang Wei's appearance of wandering out of the world, and giggled: "Maybe, he was robbed of words by Xia Luo's weird reply of yin and yang, and he is sympathizing with each other." ”

"Poof......

Everyone laughed, and unanimously felt that Xiaozhen's conjecture was more in line with the urine nature of this product than thinking about making money.

……

I feel like I'm being dissed!

Wang Wei is not distracted to the point of deafness.

Well, it's not a pity for each other, but Old Man Xia's "stealing the scene" really caused him infinite emotion and contemplation.

With the current momentum of "Charlotte", Wang Wei can be sure that breaking one billion is a bargain, which reminds him of another comedy in his memory, which made domestic films wave goodbye to the "old era" that a single film can't break one billion - "Thai Embarrassment".

are all opportunities of the times created by various factors, and they are all comedy movies, all of which have been criticized for being "vulgar, vulgar, and even incorrect" after they became popular......

Although the film markets of the two time and space are completely different - aside from the movie ticket price and exchange rate, only the number of moviegoers that the market can accommodate, Wang Wei believes that the current film market is several times larger than that of "Thai Embarrassment" in the same period of that time and space.

At the very least, in the current time and space, a schedule can accommodate two or even more movies colliding, and the box office will not be too bad.

Rao is like this, the box office of a single film of one billion is still almost the same in terms of psychological impact.

Therefore, what Old Man Xia said is that the film market will enter a "new era", referring to another time and space, Wang Wei can only say "ginger is still old and spicy".

However, what kind of new era is the new era, it is difficult for Wang Wei to continue to refer to memory.

is still the same sentence, the two time and space are completely different film market environments-

The domestic film market in that world was deformed in Wang Wei's view. The foundation has not yet been laid, and after "Thai Embarrassment", hot money has frantically poured in, pushing the industry as a whole to expand, and then it has become more deformed.

The most obvious example is that after the influx of hot money, traffic has become the only pass, from the employer, producer to the big director, everyone can't control themselves to bend their knees to the traffic, the price is that the plate is bigger, but it is not stronger, but it is mud and sand, and the deformity is extreme!

The current domestic film market, after all, the film industry is more developed-

The head is the Big Five, which mainly focus on blockbusters with large investment and high box office, and mainstream films with medium investment scale and medium returns;

The middle level is second-tier companies such as Dunhuang and Eastern Pictures, which mainly focus on mainstream films with medium investment scale and below, medium return and below......

They are scattered throughout the year, and the overall output presents a relatively ideal spindle-shaped structure.

Of course, films with less than medium investment in Dunhuang have won a blockbuster-level high box office, which is another matter.

In the new era of movies, more and more hot money is entering the game, what will the situation be in the future?

Charlotte's prediction is - "a hundred flowers bloom"!

Wang Wei can't say that there is no such possibility, but he may also be too optimistic.

It is true that under the producer-centered system that guarantees the lower limit of film quality and the lower limit of income, the industry should not ignore the normal laws of film creation and develop abnormally like China Entertainment in the other world.

However, Hollywood, which also had a developed film industry in that world, did not bloom in the end, but kidnapped the entire industry, pushing IP adaptation to an unprecedented heavy dependence, and behind the so-called "new era" is the exhaustion and suffocation of creativity.

Just look at Dunhuang to know——

On the one hand, it is a game-breaker and a pioneer who has led Chinese films into the era of a single billion;

On the other hand, it has begun to reserve and adapt superhero IPs, and the percentage of original output will inevitably decrease year by year......

So, let Wang Wei say-

This is the unknown future!

It's also interesting for the future!

It's because of the unknown that it's more interesting!
