On the other hand, Neon also reported good results, "Source Code" was released for a week, with a box office of 300 million yen, equivalent to 15 million yuan, the market is larger than that of South Korea, but slightly lower than that of South Korea, which is understandable, after all, their late expansion of the show, plus Guorong did not run a roadshow, naturally it will not be particularly high.

However, Neon has an advantage, "Hero" will be released on Neon in two weeks, during which Neon will expand the scale of its release, and the regulator predicts that the final "Source Code" may reach more than 1.5 billion yen, that is, about 75 million yuan.

This number looks like a big number, but in fact, it can't be compared with "Hero", and people will win 4 billion yen in Neon in the future!

Fortunately, Lu Ping'an is account-sharing.

On December 14th, Lu Ping'an and Guorong ended the roadshow of South Korea and Neon.

"Source Code" was released overseas for two weeks, and the box office also came out.

Lu Ping'an's first look is North America.

"Source Code" was released in North America for two weeks, but in fact, the 1,000 big screens were released for only one week, but the total box office reached 21 million US dollars!

And the most critical thing in North America is that "Hero" may not be released until 03.

Lu Ping'an knew that the original time and space "Hero" was not released until 04, and it was rumored that it was to make way for the two blockbusters "Gangs of New York" and "Chicago", both of which are films of the distributor buyers of "Heroes", and they are both big productions with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

In Hollywood, in the same company, it is too normal for a big investment to take the lead, even if "Hero" has been promoted in the mainland for half a month, I am afraid that it will still have to be hidden.

And these two blockbusters were also released in North America in mid-December, and although the box office was not too explosive, it also caused a lot of impact on "Source Code".

But that's more than enough.

As a Chinese-language sci-fi, "Source Code" won a box office score of 21 million US dollars in the first two weeks in North America, and it is also a ladder account, with 70% of the proportional producers in the first two weeks! According to the contract, minus 25% of the publisher's share, Lu Ping'an can actually get about 40%, that is, 8 million US dollars before tax!

Boom Earn!

Watzberg called Lu Ping'an again: "I regret it."

"Source Code" was released in South Korea for a week, and the number of moviegoers exceeded 600,000.

The breakback threshold has been basically exceeded.

Next, it's basically all about earning.

And the enthusiasm for watching "Source Code" has not diminished at all.

At present, the number of big screens has increased to 800, and it is still hot, and it will increase in the future, and finally full coverage of 1,100 screens, and there is still a week before the landing of "Hero".

In the coming week, there will be no problem for the number of moviegoers to exceed 1 million.

1 million moviegoers is more than 30 million yuan.

Converted, minus the cost of publicity, Lu Ping'an can earn about 400,000 US dollars.

This number is basically about the same as the issue buyout price.

In addition, after "Hero" comes up, although it will have a certain impact on the box office, 100% of the film schedule of "Hero" will not work in South Korea.

There are now three publishers of Source Code who have bought Heroes.

After they joined in, they expressed pity and regret to Lu Ping'an again and again, and then began to vigorously publicize it.

After "Hero" comes up, they will buy it out, and although they will definitely squeeze "Source Code" on the film schedule at that time, they will definitely vigorously announce it now.

There is money to be made, so why not?

。。。。。。。

The North American account sharing is like a big piece of fat.

The pre-tax account of 8 million is very scary, but in fact, after paying taxes, lawyer fees, and tripartite supervision fees, you have to cut it in half.

The publicity fee has not yet been calculated, if Watzberg gives full play to the traditional Hollywood arts, Lu Ping'an is afraid that he will have to make a bamboo basket for nothing.

Fortunately, he had already pinched the offer, but if it didn't work, he would use it.

As a 100% loyal employee, you won't fool the boss, right?

However, he still decided to wait a few days before using it, the offer can't be used so easily, there are better ones, of course, they have to be put on better candidates.

The North American two-week box office came out, followed by the rest of the region.

The number of moviegoers in South Korea reached 1.4 million, or 42 million yuan at the box office, minus the cost of publicity and distribution, counting the account sharing, and subtracting the distribution profits of South Korean film companies, this wave can get about 8 million yuan of box office revenue before tax.

The neon box office is 1.6 billion yen, or 80 million yuan at the box office, and the overall account sharing of neon is relatively low, about 20% to 25%, but the one thing that neon is better than that of South Korea is that they were released on a large scale at the beginning, and the cost of publicity and distribution is much lower than that of South Korea, so according to 20%, it can get about 16 million yuan before tax.

The box office of the remaining 5 places such as Germany and Spain is equivalent to a total of 120 million yuan, and the income from the account sharing is still less than 20%, about 24 million yuan before tax.

The box office growth in these areas after this will not be too large.

Because "Hero" has been released one after another, and has achieved amazing results.

In this way, Lu Ping'an's overseas account sharing income will theoretically have a box office income of 110 million before tax.

And Lu Ping'an accounts for 85%, which is about 93 million.

If you add the 40 million account sharing income of the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it adds up to nearly 140 million!

And how much Lu Ping'an invested in the project of "Source Code", not counting the money for special effects, he only invested less than 6 million yuan.

It's simply, earned to death!

And at this time, "Hero" began to be released overseas.

Zhang Weiping shouted: "Heroes will surely create a miracle at the overseas box office of Chinese films!" ”

And that's exactly what happened.

The box office of "Hero" overseas is very good.

The total box office of the original time and space is 177 million US dollars.

Lu Ping'an never thought that "Source Code" could compare with it.

The original "Source Code" is only about $140 million.

How does this compare?

So Lu Ping'an ignored it and let him go.

Of course, the domestic box office of "Hero" still needs to be paid attention to.

。。。。。。。。。。。

By December 31, "Hero" was released for a month, and the box office exceeded 195 million.

The number is terrifying.

But it's only a million or two million more than the same period in Source Code.

This also made many people regret it.

You know, at the beginning, the media shouted that it would break the record of "Source Code" in 10 days!

Now it seems that everyone has decided that the box office expectation of "Hero" in the future has also dropped from more than 300 million to 250 million.

Why?

It's not because the reputation of "Hero" is too torn!

Now that Zhang Weiping turns on the computer, there are optimistic things on the Internet, but at the same time, there are more scolding there.

Saying that the three views are not correct, glorifying tyrants, plot disorders and other comments.

Coupled with the fact that "Source Code" is in front of Zhuyu, the reputation of "Hero" is even worse!

The poor reputation of the movie will definitely affect the box office.

But just like Zhang Weiping said.

Word-of-mouth isn't actually the main problem.

The main thing is to rely on the support of the top.

Now it's the Lunar New Year, with 100% theater coverage, 100% film scheduling, and the ticket price has increased by 20%.

Can I not do Source Code?

Funny!

So in the following January.

As the student body begins to take vacation.

Source Code has long since gone offline.

"Hero" does not have any opponents in the country at all.

So Zhang Weiping launched a propaganda offensive again.

On TV, running roadshows, and engaging in publicity.

It's January 20th.

"Hero" finally exceeded 230 million! Beyond Source Code.

Zhang Weiping shouted for the first time: "The box office record of "Hero" will open the door to blockbusters of domestic films! ”

It's very arrogant.

But.

Not many people bought it.

Because your reputation is not good.

So some media have published:

"If the ticket price of Source Code is as high as that of Heroes, it will increase by 20%"

Anyone who understands understands.

Up 20%, that's more than 260 million.

So what is your "Hero"?

Of course, there are those who refute it.

What's the use of saying that Source Code has a good score?

Lu Ping'an didn't make any money.

Didn't make any money?

Okay.

Here comes the reckoning.

"Source Code" was released overseas for two weeks, and the current overseas box office totals 650 million.

Among them, the box office of Lu Ping'an's overseas account distribution area was 410 million yuan.

Exceeded expectations a lot.

And what shocked everyone even more was Lu Ping'an's theoretical account sharing income!

410 million, everyone rounded up 30%, that is 120 million yuan of income!

That's $14 million!

See this number.

Everyone doesn't care if it's reasonable or not.

Whether to deduct various miscellaneous items such as publicity and distribution fees, taxes, etc.

Everyone only knows one thing, that is, Lu Ping'an has made a profit!

"What about the media that said Lu Ping'an was the biggest loser, stand up!"

"For a movie, the overseas revenue is 14 million US dollars, plus the copyright income is 3 million US dollars, which is half of "Hero", and the cost of "Source Code" is only how much!"

"The point is that it's not over yet, it's only been released overseas for two weeks, and the data will still rise!"

“。。。”

A group of industry insiders and netizens discussed wildly.

A group of producers who quit early regretfully had their brains blue.

Han Sanpin was so happy that he died.

He has been keeping an eye on the box office situation overseas.

I also know more than the average person.

In fact, now the overseas "Source Code" has almost been released.

The data given by the media is lagging behind.

So the real benefits will be more!

But even now.

It's also enough for him to raise his eyebrows in the company!

Before I had to divide the accounts, didn't you say that I didn't think too much about the company and blindly followed the road safely?

Now let's see, the income from the account sharing far exceeds the outright price.

Now what do you guys say!

The same goes for Tsuneta the King of Light.

He is the only one other than China Film who follows Lu Ping'an to gamble and share the account.

Now Lu Ping'an is "raising his eyebrows", and Wang Changtian directly reports on his own media channels.

"Source Code" exploded at the North American box office, and under the account-sharing model, the yield of "Source Code" far exceeded that of "Hero"!"

"Source Code cost $6 million, and the global box office cut $100 million, which is a miracle in Hollywood!"

""Source Code" was released in South Korea, and Guorong and Lu Ping'an were sought after by 10,000 people!"

“。。。”

Anyway, my own family is engaged in propaganda.

In addition, the actual box office is indeed here.

Then I can't blow it too much.

The media even changed their attitude, describing Lu Ping'an from a "loser" to "having a strategic vision!" ”

Overnight, Lu Ping'an was once again praised as the "altar".

So now some people have begun to compare the revenue of "Heroes" with "Source Code".

This is yet another earth-shattering reversal.

At the beginning, it was all about how high the copyright income of "Hero" was, and how big Lu Ping'an's heart was, which was too tender and unstable.

Up to now, it's all about how good "Source Code" is and how powerful Lu Ping'an's vision is.

Everybody is starting to calculate the cost.

"Source Code" costs $6 million, and "Heroes" costs $30 million.

"Source Code" earned $14 million overseas, more than twice as much.

As for "Hero", it's just a return to the capital, and it's also a sale of distribution rights!

Even if the box office is high enough to set a record in film history all over the world, "Hero" will not make a dime.

And if you don't talk about what is far away, you will say what is near.

The final box office of "Hero" in China will reach 250 million.

Very awesome.

But your ticket price is still 20% higher than other people's "source code", you ignored it?

So this comparison, coupled with the tearing of the word-of-mouth of "Hero", everyone feels more and more that "Source Code" is a good pen.

Seeing this, Zhang Weiping shouted directly to the media again: "The overseas box office of "Hero" can definitely create a record for Chinese films! The significance of "Hero" lies in the cultural output! It is to let more people understand Chinese culture, and it is by no means as simple as a single movie! This is far from being comparable to Source Code! ”

After shouting, everyone applauded.

But it won't have much impact on word of mouth.

Especially domestic.

It's better if you're abroad.

After all, the reputation of "Heroes" in the original time and space abroad is already good.

It's January 25th.

"Source Code" has been released overseas one after another.

The number of moviegoers in South Korea reached 1.77 million, or US$6.5 million.

Neon grossed 1.9 billion yen, or $11 million.

The box office in Germany totaled $17 million.

The largest box office in North America, "Source Code" was released for one month, 1,000 big screens were released for three weeks, and the total box office was 42 million US dollars.

In total, the revenue from the sharing of "Source Code" reached about 21 million US dollars before tax according to the proportion of all parties, which can be roughly half after deducting the publicity and taxation of all parties.

Of course, how to successfully recover this money is the next thing to deal with slowly.

The box office of the remaining non-account-sharing regions is about $37 million.

Coupled with the box office in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, "Source Code" is equivalent to a global box office of 140 million US dollars!

At the same time, in terms of the global box office, because "Hero" has not been released in North America, the total global box office is only about 70 million US dollars, and the final painting is expected to be 80 million to 90 million US dollars.

No matter how much, it's much less than the $140 million of Source Code.

Some people said that "Source Code" disregarded the morality of its compatriots and blocked "Heroes" overseas!

Wu Guohua of Xingchen Film and Television directly held a press conference and asked the camera: "Who was released first?" ”

Just this sentence has the meaning of piercing the window paper.

In October, "Hero" blocked "Source Code" during the release, I really think everyone can't see it?

It's just that no one pierced the window paper, so the face has been kept very good.

But now, the reputation of "Source Code" in China far exceeds that of "Hero".

Lao Mouzi makes people lose hope.

The overseas results are not much related to "Source Code", and the data is even more unsightly, so much worse than "Source Code".

In terms of profits, Lu Ping An has more "strategic vision".

"Hero" is basically a bit of a "South Korea to the top four" now.

You won at the mainland box office, but did you really win?

You don't look at how much better the schedule is than "Source Code".

Ticket prices are another 20% higher than the Source Code.

The film schedule is more "shameless" than "Source Code", and it is 100% scheduled, making other movies have no way to live.

In this way, the mainland only has 10 million or 20 million more than "Source Code".

The box office of Xiangjiang is less than 26 million, which is 20 million less than "Source Code"!

For a while, the reputation of "Hero" was even more torn.

From winning, slowly changing to winning and losing, it is estimated that it will soon turn into losing and losing.

And here it is, the year-end blockbuster era of 2002.

People will not talk about 2002 again, they will only remember "Heroes".

Instead, I can't help but talk about the word-of-mouth explosion and the "Source Code" that made a lot of money overseas!

In addition, there is also Lu Ping'an, a new director.

The discussion of Heroes and Source Code continues.

But now, for Lu Ping'an, "Source Code" has temporarily ended.

Next, it's the next project.

That night, Lu Ping'an flew to Laomei again, and the St. Denis Film Festival closed and was about to win the award.

If the article does not match the title, there is no need to be surprised, because it is corrected and does not affect the reading.
