Chapter 367 "King Kong River" turmoil

The ten movies released during the golden period of this year's Chinese New Year have been released for four days in the first week, which is already the first to see.

"Ghost Blowing Lantern: Yunnan Worm Valley" won the first place and won the weekly box office championship by virtue of the popularity accumulated in the previous work and a stable starring lineup.

And "King Kong River", which is regarded by Huayi as a life-and-death battle, has been promoted with great momentum before its release, and the movie has also received rave reviews.

But when "King Kong River" was released, it was full of bad reviews, attracting countless complaints.

According to what a certain audience said, starting from "Assembly", the military films shot by a certain generation of directors all wanted Jiang someone's Central Army to suddenly travel to the future, using their gangster nature to win the opponent, and this unit must have been afraid of death first, and then forced to insist, and finally the protagonist who was originally dragging his feet died because of his comrades-in-arms, and suddenly the righteous anger of the rivers and lakes filled his brain, and the protagonist buff was added. The whole plot can only rely on resentment, perhaps to express the director's frustration about the failure of the gang forces.

As for the protagonist, he must be a person who has no culture, no righteousness, no ideals, only the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and the unfamiliar death has no infection with him, and the familiar crowd beats and scolds the subordinates, and the song follows the superiors.

The rest of the ordinary people, people with ideals, for the sake of the common people, there is no point in dying in the movie.

And then there is, the box office of "King Kong River" in the first week was less than 200 million!

This box office, put ten years ago, could have happily held a celebration banquet and hyped it up.

But in today's film market, it can be regarded as a failure.

After all, this "King Kong River" is claimed to have a production cost of 800 million yuan!

The box office came out in the first week, and a number of A-share listed companies involved in the investment of this film opened on Monday, and their stock prices fell together.

And the three directors of this movie were also frantically complained.

Subsequently, Huayi ran into trouble.

As the main controller, Huayi is not only the main investor of the film, but also the distributor.

As soon as the box office came out in the first week, Huayi fell directly.

The Wang brothers announced on Weibo that "King Kong River" Huayi not only recovered its costs before it was released, but also earned 500 million.

This good news not only failed to solve the trouble, but brought even more trouble.

Many people rushed to Huayi's headquarters and asked Huayi to give an explanation and compensate them for their losses.

It turned out that Huayi passed on the risk to investors through online financial operations, and these investors invested tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy investment shares, intending to sit back and wait for returns.

After all, the average rate of return on film investment is higher than that of the stock market.

And Huayi et al.'s box office estimate for the movie "King Kong River" is 5 billion, no matter how you calculate it, it will be profitable.

Therefore, before the movie was released, in this way, Huayi recovered all the costs invested, and made a lot of 500 million.

And these investors only feel that they have been deceived, and Huayi is carrying out false advertising.

The publicity is estimated to have a box office of 5 billion, but now that it is good, there is definitely no hope for the box office to break 1 billion, and it is difficult to say whether there can even be 500 million.

Investors have lost money!

This thing is reminiscent of "Sharp Blades Breaking the Ice" released at the same time, the same operation of "Sharp Blades Breaking the Ice", the production cost is 120 million, the box office is 2.1772 million on the first four days of release, and no cinema is willing to show it.

The investors of "Blade Icebreaker" can be said to have lost all their money.

This point of box office, deducting the cost of publicity and distribution, is not enough, where is there any box office account.

Li Hao saw this news and sighed with emotion.

It is obviously a very good policy, hoping to solve the problem of insufficient funds for film and TV series shooting and promote the development of the film and television industry.

Li Hao only felt that Huayi's operation was a stupid move!

Huayi has made money, but the final reputation is completely gone.

In the future, it will be very difficult for Huayi to use this method again.

Other film and television projects, as soon as they see Huayi participating in the investment, they will instinctively think if Huayi wants to harvest leeks again.

The operation is as fierce as a tiger, but the consequences are endless!

It's not that Haotian Media hasn't operated this kind of operation, and it's not that there are no film and television projects that lose money, but even if they lose money, it won't be too much, and more of it has good income.

"Alas, a good film and television company doesn't operate, it specializes in this kind of crooked and evil ways, a relative of mine invested 100,000 yuan, and it is estimated that he has lost a lot, and now he is making trouble." Jing Tian walked over and said.

Today, Jingtian is wearing a mint green skirt, which looks very fresh, with a pair of earrings, and her temperament is particularly elegant.

In this winter, the entire headquarters building was heated early.

Inside the building, you don't feel the slightest cold.

Li Hao was also just wearing a T-shirt.

In the winter in the north, in fact, it is from one heating to another, with a heating supply, it will not be cold at all, and even sleep in big pants and short sleeves.

"With this kind of confusion, it is difficult to win a lawsuit." Li Hao shook his head.

People have projects, contracts, companies, crews, and finished products, and the investment is voluntary, and it is estimated that when signing an electronic contract, there are various terms.

Now that the investment has failed, it is understandable that you want to make trouble, but the problem is now about the law.

You said that people promote a box office of 5 billion, but that is estimated, it is bragging, when did bragging also break the law!?

Investment is risky and should be cautious.

There is no risk in any investment, and you can make a lot of money.

"But Huayi's operation this time is too hurtful!" Li Hao said: "It is estimated that those who really want to make movies well, but lack funds, will be more difficult in the future, and this road will become narrower and narrower." ”

"Now they are not celebrities, they are also accusing Huayi, they have also invested a lot of money, and this time they must have lost money." Jingtian said.

Even if there is a box office of 1 billion, in the hands of the producer, it is only about 300 million!

Some people buy when the investment cost is 800 million, and some people buy the investment cost is 1 billion!

If calculated according to 800 million, the loss is 62.5%; If it is calculated according to 1 billion, the loss is 70%!

And that's not even counting the cost of time, as well as various handling fees!

If you count it, the loss is definitely even bigger!

It is estimated that at the beginning, those investors took the estimated box office of 5 billion seriously.

If it is calculated according to the box office of 5 billion, then the producer's account will be almost 1.7 billion, and the yield will be almost doubled!

After deducting the handling fee and tax, it is definitely a very considerable income!

It's a pity that the water in here is very deep, which director dares to say that the movies he shoots will definitely make money.

Even Li Hao, who has a golden finger, is not sure.

As for managing yin and yang people, how can He De be so sure.

How can Huayi, or the Wang brothers, be sure that the project will be profitable?

If that were the case, where would they have implemented a 'de-cinematic' strategy before!
