Chapter 267 Unlimited ticket replenishment!
On August 20th, The Expendables will be released!
The producer of Suicide Squad is Millennium Pictures, a Hollywood independent film production company.
This movie was paid for with tickets, and Millennium Pictures, the producer of Suicide Squad, spent 10 million.
Ticket premium is 19.9 yuan + Hollywood production, grossing 98 million in the first weekend.
This sudden operation stunned Yinghuang's "Love Announcement" and Huayi's earthquake.
The Expendables has no plot, just a bunch of old tough guys, Rambo Stallone, Jason Statham, Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li, action star Lundgren, Bruce Wayne, Terminator Schwarzenegger...
Thud, tug, tug, kill, kill, a complete Hollywood commercial popcorn movie.
What stands out is the word "huang".
Once excellent Hollywood popcorn movies are filled with tickets, it will be tantamount to a dimensionality-reducing blow to domestic movies.
Big and small kings didn't expect it, Boss Yang didn't expect it, and many people in the entertainment industry didn't expect it.
The Mountain Eagle actually allowed tickets to be supplied to imported films, which became a hit in domestic films.
All the movies in theaters were hit hard.
The big earthquake is coming to an end, and the damage suffered is not big.
DreamWorks' Shrek 4, Ying Huang's Love Announcement, and Ray's City Alert were all released not long ago, and they were crazy about Suicide Squad.
Among them, "Love Announcement" and "The City's Alert" were the worst. Although they were not released, many theaters have stopped scheduling films, or they have been unpopular, which is no different from being released.
Liu Yifei was immediately moved to tears by Tu Tu Tu, and Wang Lihong lost her pride at the celebration banquet and was too worried to eat.
Love Announcement was released on the 12th and grossed 34.1 million at the box office in the first five days. However, in the following week, the total box office was less than 8 million, and the next weekend it only took over 2 million in the three days. box office.
Whether it can exceed 50 million is a question.
Been beaten up by the death squads!
To be honest...Hollywood blockbusters + ticket reimbursements are box office harvesters in this era, and domestic movies really can't hold up.
What's more, it's a flashback action movie like The Expendables, a popcorn action movie that makes everyone vomit blood when it touches it.
Wang Changtian was not the one who did this. He did not have the courage.
It is a mountain sculpture.
He wants to introduce Hollywood into the market of ticket sales, and The Expendables is the touchstone.
The better the performance of the Suicide Squad, the happier the mountain eagle will be.
Maoyan is his future asset in Hollywood.
If Hollywood movies want to make money in the mainland market, Maoyan is an indispensable channel for them.
If you master the channels, you master the market!
Of course, the mountain eagle will not admit it, lest he be accused of monopoly and dictatorship.
Summer vacation is coming to an end.
Because Earthquake is released and tickets are paid for admission, this summer season can be called the most chaotic and craziest summer season in history.
The earthquake made the industry, media, audiences, etc. see the box office potential of domestic films.
Avatar’s box office of over 1 billion is not out of reach.
The domestic film market has unlimited potential.
The earthquake pierced the box office ceiling and brought the domestic movie box office to new heights.
Set a new benchmark for domestic films.
And the appearance of ticket replenishment.
Through Far Cry, My Beautiful Boss, and The Expendables, the domestic entertainment explosion is jaw-dropping and shuddering.
Many mainstream media have even made a bold guess regarding the ticket subsidy and the earthquake, that is, if the earthquake has ticket subsidy, will it become the first super-large earthquake in the domestic film market? One billion domestic films.
Li Mingyang was amused when he saw the news.
“I don’t know which idiot bought the news and got a billion in box office, what are you thinking.”
Li Mingyang directly took off the panties of the earthquake on Weibo.
“Huayi has communicated with major theater chains about the ticket prices for Earthquake. The lowest ticket price for Earthquake is fifty yuan... From the very beginning, Earthquake has never thought of paying for it with tickets, and invites the audience to watch the movie. ."
Not long after, Feng Pants went online and directly forwarded the comment: "This is purely false, you are slandering! During the release of "Earthquake", I have been communicating with Guangguang, hoping to make up for it with tickets. More people walked into the cinema, but due to competition with Huayi, they didn’t give me tickets for the earthquake! I have chat records and phone recordings! I’ll see you in court!”
"Under the guise of a film and television city, a fraudulent company uses land to build residential buildings. What kind of credibility does a director have?"
"See you in court!"
"Go if you dare. Sue! Don't be a keyboard warrior!"
Feng's pants are silent...
"It's so boring, aren't you pretty good at talking?" Li Mingyang complained and stood up from his seat. stand up.
For a moment, everyone in the film department on the sixth floor looked at Li Mingyang, who was posting about the earthquake on Weibo every day.
"Director Li didn't do well at the box office... He really knows how to criticize people! This is the first time Feng Pants has been criticized."
"Feng Pants is just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong."
“The boss started designing Feng’s pants a few months ago, and I’m just waiting for him to open his mouth.”
“Where is this? By the end of the year, there will probably be a fight!”
"You are still too young. It's not that Feng's pants are misfired, but he doesn't want to cause too much trouble, lest there will be no ticket reimbursement for If You Are the One 2 at the end of the year. Without ticket reimbursement, how can If You Are the One 2 compete with other movies?"
"What? The king of box office, ticket recharge is the king.”
“The Expendables is only 19.9 yuan, so damn cheap, I watched it twice in a row yesterday”
……
< br>Li Mingyang came downstairs to the company, waited for a while, and saw three cars parked on the side of the road.
Zuo Shandiao and Wang Changtian got out of the car at the front, followed closely by people from China Film Group, who got off the car at the back.
Li Mingyang and the mountain eagle exchanged a few pleasantries, and the mountain eagle couldn't wait to urge Li Mingyang to take him to see the final film of Your Name.
More than a dozen people came to the sixth floor of Mingyang Entertainment, and then crowded into the screening room to read your name.
Zuoshandiao, Wang Changtian and Li Mingyang were sitting on the sofa, while the others were holding small ponytails to watch. More than two hours later, the TV screen went dark, your name ended, and the final subtitles appeared.
The mountain eagle did not speak, but looked at the others.
Others had different expressions, and everyone was speechless... In fact, your name is very different from the movies they have seen before.
The tone of the film is thick and colorful, and the use of colors is extremely bold. It is a bit like Zhang Yimou's style, but not at all.
The contrast between light and dark in Your Name is not strong, and there is almost no dark picture.
There is no way to talk about the aesthetics of light and shadow.
Very bright and vivid.
This makes it difficult for them who are used to dark-toned movies to get used to it...
Especially the shooting star special effects in the movie, which even makes it feel like watching an animation.
Seeing that the others were silent, Wang Changtian spoke first: "There's nothing wrong with the plot, it's as good as ever, and the storyboards are as original as ever, but there's something wrong with the tone... it's too gorgeous!"< br>
Li Mingyang was about to speak.
Zuoshandiao took out Huazi from his pocket, knocked on the cigarette case, and said calmly: "That's it, send it for review."
"Okay!"
Send it for review and won't return. Li Mingyang is in charge, but the people brought by Zuoshandiao are in charge.
Everyone else went out to deal with the matter of submitting the film for review, and only Shandiao, Wang Changtian and Li Mingyang were left in the screening room.
Sitting on the sofa with a golden sword like a mountain eagle, holding his knees with one hand and smoking a cigarette with the other, his eyes were indifferent, without any extra emotion.
After a long time, the mountain eagle said: "You have to find someone to take the blame for this death squad ticket. Who do you think is suitable."
Li Mingyang was stunned.
Holy shit!
Let us take the blame for what you did!
Neither Li Mingyang nor Wang Changtian wanted to take the blame, so they didn't say anything.
"If you don't say anything, just draw lots. Someone must be responsible for this. I will make up for it in the future."
"How about letting Wang Xing come!" Wang Changtian suggested.
"He is not from the circle. What he said above is to choose one of the three of us." The mountain eagle waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
Li Mingyang glanced at Wang Changtian, then at the mountain eagle, spreading his hands, "It's obvious that one of you is a bad guy and the other is a hottie, pushing me to take the blame. , I memorize the key, but someone has to believe it!”
“The official certification is you, that’s you... Actually, you don’t have to think so much, I see you stay in Hengdian every day, let you Even if you don’t go to the film festival, and you don’t participate in the events in the industry, it won’t have any impact on you if you take the blame.”
"Actually, I don't understand why someone should take the blame. Maoyan can't only be used in domestic films. It has to be in line with Hollywood. It's a good thing that people are willing to invest money!"
"Vote compensation is right for Hollywood. The effect of the blockbuster is so good that the bosses are worried that so many years of hard work will be in vain, so there will be no ticket reimbursement for Hollywood movies in a short period of time. "It's you," Li Mingyang said.
The mountain eagle touched its nose, said nothing, and acquiesced.
Li Mingyang finally figured it out. The hole was carved out of the mountain, but he couldn't close it by himself. Someone had to come.
According to normal circumstances, it is Wang Xing or Wang Changtian who chooses one.
The two of them are the people in charge of Maoyan.
But Wang Xing is not a member of the circle and cannot convince the public.
Wang Changtian, Ray is going to be listed this year, Huayi has been hammered hard, it is a good time for Ray to catch up.
To be suddenly beaten by the superiors at this time will scare away the capital, and it will not be conducive to the unity of the film industry.
Therefore, he has no choice but to bear the blame.
Anyway, he has offended too many people... It doesn't matter if he offends him again.
Li Mingyang scratched his head, thought for a long time, and finally chose to accept the blame, but he had one request.
That’s your name with unlimited ticket replenishment!
Maoyan’s current ticket replenishment has an upper limit, not the unlimited ticket replenishment later.
What does the unlimited ticket replenishment mean...
Wang Changtian and Zuo Shandiao actually understand the ticket replenishment in this summer season, and they know it very well.
"Impossible, at most 100 million. This is my bottom line and the bottom line of domestic movies."
"One hundred and fifty million."
"No need to talk, This hole cannot be opened!" The mountain eagle raised his hand and said firmly.
Unlimited ticket replenishment is really a waste of money.
In the previous life, the country was only open for four years, and then it was hammered hard and the ticket supply was blocked.
One hundred million is one hundred million.
Even the 100 million ticket subsidy cannot kill Feng Pants’ earthquake. He can quit the film industry.
“Okay!”
Seeing that Li Mingyang agreed, Zuo Shandiao smiled and took out the car key that Li Mingyang gave him last time. "This is also compensation. I know how much you spent on special effects."
"The 100 million ticket compensation will bring out all the light." Wang Changtian also laughed.
Li Mingyang smiled.
You must come out! You still want me to come out!
