Chapter nine hundred and ninety-eight business
When the box office data on the first day came out, it attracted the attention of people all over the world.
This "Titanic" has not only caused a sensation in China. Just like the original "Terminator 2", it has become a film and television work that the whole world recognizes. It is not only recognized, but also collectively praised. The whole movie, whether in terms of plot, actors' acting skills, or the sense of the times and some details revealed by the whole movie, is almost perfect and impeccable.
Even modern Western historians were extremely shocked. A famous British historian wrote online: "Director Guo Dalu from the East seems to be more familiar with our own modern history than we are. The costumes and props in the whole movie and the general behavior of the people in that era are portrayed extremely realistically, which is simply a reappearance of history! Of course, I mean something related to history. As for this movie, I can only say that it is a love story based on real events. But although it is false, it is enough to touch people's hearts!"
After watching the whole movie, the most complicated one in terms of emotions belongs to the British. This was originally a shipwreck accident that occurred in their country, but it was processed into a movie by an oriental man like Guo Dalu. And it was so excellent that these British people who claim to be gentlemen felt that their own culture was violated.
If the films belonging to your own country are not as good as those of a foreigner, they are not as good as films of their own country. This highlights the incompetence of the British director or the lack of attention to local culture.
This subtle emotion affected a group of British people very much, so when the movie began to trigger a movie viewing frenzy in the UK, another film began to promote the film against the movie, calling on everyone not to watch this British feature film directed by Orientals.
However, this kind of thinking cannot get the support of the public at all. Just like when the United States' "Kung Fu Panda" was first screened in China, many people in China also advocated online that everyone should not watch this movie, because the animals in their own country were actually made into a feature film by the United States. Some Chinese people felt that it was a bit hurting their self-esteem and wanted to boycott this movie.
Now that "Titanic" is released in the UK, these British people's ideas are exactly the same as those of the Chinese people at that time. Of course, their actions are exactly the same. Not all audiences in all countries are as inferior as Koreans.
The first-day box office of this movie, which all countries combined, has exceeded one billion yuan. This is almost as good as the first-day box office of "Terminator 2", and has a very good reputation. Even several world-renowned directors who are as famous as Guo Dalu praised the movie, believing that it has reached a new level of a love movie.
This was just the second day after the premiere. The reputation was so good and the public opinion was so popular that it exceeded many people's expectations.
The popularity of this movie in foreign markets has once again triggered domestic public opinion.
Guo Dalu has triggered miracles in the history of film more than once, and this time it is an exception. In the past, he filmed stories of Chinese people themselves, but this time he was filming movies with Western reality themes as a Chinese director. This is the first time in the whole of China and even the entire world.
Although the previous "Roman Holiday" was a great success, it was a romantic adult fairy tale work, which was completely based on fiction, with more fairy spirit and less sense of reality.
But this "Titanic" is different. This movie is a story based on events in reality. It has a strong sense of reality. It can be said that it has a sense of reality that a documentary witnesses history. Although this sense of reality itself is illusory, film works that can create this sense of reality itself represents success.
Since the release of this movie, Ma Cheng has been busy with this movie every day. There is a computer on his desk, and the staff specially made a box office curve diagram for him, which can intuitively see the changes in the box office of this movie.
From this curve chart, we can see that after the release of the "Titanica", the global box office has not changed much. From the premiere to the next two weeks, the single-day box office was very stable, and it stabilized at a box office of about one billion every day. It was not until the third week that the box office began to fall, falling to 700 million to 800 million, and then 500 million to 600 million, 300 million to 400 million.
Ma Cheng felt a pain in his heart when he didn't see any changes in the curve.
"It's all money!"
In Guo Dalu's office, there is also a computer that shows the box office curve. Ma Cheng came to Guo Dalu and pointed to the curve on the screen, looking unwilling: "This thread just drops down a little bit, that's hundreds of millions of dollars!"
He was trembling all over his body: "Mr. Guo, the total box office of our movie has reached 17 billion yuan now! If this lasts for another two weeks, it will probably reach 30 billion yuan!"
When Ma Cheng said this, his eyes shone and laughed: "If it really can reach a box office of 30 billion, it will be possible to buy more than a dozen Titanics! A movie that made a sunk in a cruise ship, the box office revenue could even buy several such cruise ships, which is probably beyond the expectations of many people!"
Nowadays, the most expensive and luxurious cruise ship in the world is only more than one billion yuan, one of which is from Guo Dalu. The box office of the movie "Titanic" is now more than one hundred billion yuan, and it is not difficult to break 2 billion yuan. It is indeed possible to buy dozens of luxury cruise ships.
"Three hundred billion is probably a big deal, but more than two hundred billion is still fine!"
Guo Dalu was so excited that Ma Cheng was so excited and said with a smile: "Is it okay to let go of my heart now? When I invested 200 million to make a movie for me, you were under a lot of pressure. Now that this movie has finally made a profit, you can finally take a breath, right?"
Ma Cheng laughed and said, "Actually, I was never nervous at the beginning. When did you disappoint us? Even if this movie does not reach the current box office height, I promise that it is impossible to lose money. I still have this confidence!"
Every time Tianxi Film and Television invests a big investment in a movie, Ma Cheng's pressure will become great. After all, once the money exceeds 100 million, it is not a small problem. If such a large amount of money is profitable, it would be fine. If it is lost, the responsibility will be great. Even Ma Cheng, the general manager, will feel anxious.
Especially this time, Guo Dalu was filming a foreign-themed movie, not a science fiction blockbuster with his own expertise. Although Guo Dalu is the box office guarantee, there is uncertainty in everything he does, and no one can guarantee that Guo Dalu's movies will always be profitable.
The investment in this movie alone is more than 500 million yuan. Even if Tianxi Film and Television and Meilun Lion Industry take half of the investment, it will still require more than 200 million yuan. If it is lost, Ma Cheng, as a decision maker, will also bear part of the responsibility.
Therefore, the box office of the movie will not be released for a day, and he will not be able to settle down for a day.
Now that he saw that this romance film was so popular, he finally let go of his heart.
Guo Dalu did not disappoint him.
"Old Ma, after this movie is over, I'm going to take a two-year rest."
Seeing Ma Cheng looking at the box office curve with satisfaction, Guo Dalu shook his head and smiled: "In recent years, I have been busy with the entertainment industry and have delayed a lot of serious business. Now that the movie has been filmed, I decided to do my best. When I get tired, I will play with entertainment."
Ma Cheng was stunned and immediately became nervous: "Mr. Guo, what else is more important than entertainment? You can make billions of profits every year with these film and television works alone. Is there any more money in the world than this?"
Guo Dalu smiled and said, "That must be there."
He pointed to himself: "I am the boss of these businesses!"
