Entertainment: Boss Yang’s sex change, and the female star’s love interest

Yang Mi said:"Our production cost of"The Swordsman: The Invincible" was only 10 million, and now the box office on the first day is 110 million. We have already made back our money!"

"That alone makes it a great New Year’s gift!"

Generally speaking, the return on capital of a movie is three times the production cost.

《"The Swordsman: The Invincible East" cost 10 million to produce, so the payback is 30 million. If the box office exceeds this figure, it will be considered a return on investment.

Now the box office on the first day has reached 95.66 million, exceeding the return line by 300%.

From now on, every day will be profitable.

Relatively speaking, the box office of"White Snake: Origin" was a bit low.

After all, the production cost was 50 million, and the payback was 150 million. However, the box office on the first day was only 26.9 million, which was not even a fraction of the payback.

This is all because movie theaters do not schedule movies, and only 6% of the movies are scheduled, ranking sixth in the movie rankings, nearly 9 times lower than"Fuchun Pictures".

But the box office performance was fifth.

Tsk.

Xu Ke stupefied and replied:

"Although I am very happy that the box office returned my money on the first day, I am also a little unwilling to do so!"

"I think the box office of"Fuchun Tu" received by 773 is a bit strange"

"I saw feedback from some netizens that not many people watched the movie in the afternoon, and some netizens even had less than 50 people in the screening room.%"

"However, when I checked on the ticketing software, I found that all the tickets for the theater were sold out!"

"Someone even photographed that at one o'clock in the morning in a certain screening room, the show"Fu Chun Tu" had finished playing, but the movie tickets for that show had been sold out. It might be a ghost show"

"I suspect there is a behind-the-scenes operation."

Regarding Xu Ke's statement, Yang Mi was very calm:

"Is this weird?"

"Basically, all the artists from Xinghai Media participated in"Fu Chun Tu". Park Guoqiang, Shi Zhenxiang, Yang Tianbao and other little fresh meat and fairies all appeared in this drama."

"It can be regarded as a movie created by all members of Xinghai Media. It is very similar to our"The Swordsman: The Invincible East""

"Today's entertainment industry is full of little fresh meat. These media companies are the instigators. Xinghai Media, with a market capitalization of tens of billions, is the king among them. The strategy of bad money driving out good money is a thief."

"The film scheduling rate is 51%. I don’t know how they got the entire movie market and half the film scheduling rate, but I guess it’s not a legitimate method."

"Since others spend money to arrange movies, it is understandable that our box office is lower than theirs."

Tsk.

Xu Ke smacked his tongue, feeling a little aggrieved in his heart.

"Don't you feel angry?"

"The movies that we, and all the film professionals, have worked so hard to shoot, are walking on thin ice every day. The results of it? After the movie was released, it was taken away by Xinghai Media and others using despicable means!"

"Are you willing to do so?"

Xu Ke is a person who came from the old-fashioned movie era in Hong Kong. Although everyone made movies at that time, some of them were shot with guns pointed at their heads, but the box office results were real. I never thought of cheating!

But now it is being used by others. It's really hateful to suppress people like this through unfair means!

"Ah. Yang

Mi chuckled and said:

"Director Xu, you have been in this industry for decades. Have you not understood it in the past few years?"

"Now is an era when bad money drives out good money. Capitalists spend money like crazy to produce idols in batches like fast food, then serve them to the audience, and then hype them up, telling the audience that this jealous potato shreds are five Star meal"

"Since capital has allowed young people to occupy people's attention by throwing money, of course there will be follow-up measures."

"But this behavior requires constant burning of money."

"For example,"Pictures of Rich Spring", this movie claims that 80% of the content is special effects. I saw news revealed that the production cost of this movie was 300 million."(bbaf)

"In other words, the box office needs to exceed 900 million to reach the return line, and it is unclear how much it will cost to achieve a 51% film schedule rate."

"Therefore, the payback line for this drama is conservatively estimated to be over 1 billion."

"We only spent 10 million, while others spent hundreds of millions, so we have to make them more beautiful."

While Yang Mi was talking, she picked up the kettle on the table, poured tea into the cup, then picked up the cup and sipped the tea elegantly.

"But the Spring Festival period only lasts seven days. If we don’t do something, the box office may drop. Should we hold some more promotional activities?"

Xu Ke said somewhat eagerly.

Of course it's gratifying that the movie made back its money on the first day it was released.

However, as a film director, now that his work has been released, who doesn't want to improve his performance to a higher level?

Even if he is really defeated by other better movies, he will have no complaints and will sincerely send blessings to the other party.

But the other party uses despicable means to get the box office, which of course makes him unwilling

"Calm down!"

Yang Mi responded with two words, her eyes staring at the tea stick that had stood up in the water glass.

"Since the box office has paid back, all subsequent box office profits will be our profits, so we can just follow the original plan and promote it."

"As for the Spring Festival season, don’t worry too much. I’m very satisfied with the first-day box office and attendance rates of our two movies, and they have the potential to rise against the trend."

"《If"Fu Chun Tu" wants to continue to maintain its ranking as the number one film slate and box office, it will have to continue to burn money and continue to hype it up. It depends on how much Xinghai Media can burn. If the entire company is burned, everyone will be happy."

She randomly changed the subject.

"《How are you preparing for the filming of"A Chinese Ghost Story"?"

She is now more concerned about the future of film and television dramas.

Xu Ke responded:

"Okay, since you, the investor, are not too worried, I won’t take any chances. I hope that as you predicted, the box office will rise against the trend."

"《The filming preparations for"A Chinese Ghost Story" are nearing completion. If nothing unexpected happens, filming will start at the end of February and wrap up at the end of March."

"If all goes well, it should be released in time for Tomb Sweeping Day on April 5th."

The shooting cycle of a movie is not fixed. Some months, some years. Generally speaking, three months is more common.

But"A Chinese Ghost Story" is not a large-scale movie, and"The Swordsman" is not a large-scale movie. Like"The Invincible East", they are both relatively small movies involving relatively few characters and scenes.

Therefore, one month is more than enough.

Yang Mi picked up the water glass and took a sip.

"Then you should focus more on"A Chinese Ghost Story""

"As for the box office performance of"The Swordsman: The Unbeaten East", we'll just read the songbook and wait and see!".
