Chapter 224 Final Box Office
Recently, Weidu Entertainment has received many cooperation applications from actors like Chen Weiting or their teams.
These actors are basically well-known and have good professionalism. There are even some people who Van Zhe has heard of usually, and even some likes.
However, from the perspective of producers, Fan Zhe is still very cautious in his works.
Maintaining your original intention is also a very important thing.
He still believes that he should try not to be affected by other factors in his creation. He should try to focus on the quality of his works, unless he encounters some force majeure.
From recruiting actors to building the entire crew, it is not the most important thing at the moment. According to Fan Zhe's plan, he still has time to consider these. At present, it is better to design the early concept of the martial arts master first, and doing more complete is the main thing.
While Fan Zhe was working hard to promote the project "Master of Martial Arts", the screening of Hell Apartment was gradually coming to an end.
After the fourth week, the box office of the movie gradually fell.
In the fifth week, the box office of "Hell Apartment" fell to more than 53 million; in the sixth week, it was cut in half again, leaving only more than 27 million.
The box office potential of "Hell Apartment" has been almost fully tapped. Although it will continue to be screened for a while, the scale of the screening will inevitably decline significantly.
However, the situation in "Happy Events of the God of Wealth" in the same period was much worse.
Their box office in the past half month has only been more than 10 million, and the situation of opening high and closing low is very obvious. In this case, although Tianhong Entertainment is still struggling hard, it basically cannot change the facts. This movie will no longer have a large number of opportunities to be released, and it will only be scheduled in a very small theater, which can be ignored.
At present, the total box office of the two movies is almost the same. "The God of Wealth" looks about 360 million yuan. Although "Hell Apartment" was completely crushed by the God of Wealth at the beginning, it made a counterattack in the later period, and the final box office was more than 1,000 million yuan, surpassing "The God of Wealth".
The box office gap of about 10 million is not particularly huge for the movie, and the two should be considered at the same level.
However, things can't be calculated like this.
It seems that the box office of the two movies is almost the same, but "The God of Wealth" invested more than 100 million yuan. In addition, according to Ye Jiayi's knowledge, Shen Deng and his team have received high pay, but also enjoyed the late-stage share of box office profits.
The investor Tianhong Entertainment barely recovered the money earned from the box office after investing huge costs. But if the share paid to Shen Deng’s team was eliminated, the remaining money would not be enough to make up for the investment in the entire movie.
Of course, if you count it, "The God of Wealth" should not lose money.
After all, the later film also has copyright operation, such as online movies on demand or buyout.
In short, if you put the timeline a little longer, they will slowly make back the remaining costs in the next few months or even years, and may have a certain surplus.
However, no matter how you look at this, it cannot be considered a successful investment. Especially for David, this is obviously a failure.
In fact, when he first entered the film and television industry, the goal he set for his first movie was very realistic: he just made a profit.
"The Happy Event of the God of Wealth" has achieved this goal in general.
However, everything in the world must always be compared.
He always involuntarily compares Fan Zhe's works, especially a movie released at the same time, such as "Hell Apartment".
Although the box office of the two is similar, Hell Apartment does not have any famous actors, the entire investment cost is only 20 million, and the current box office revenue is nearly 20 times...
How to compare? No matter how you compare, you lose!
To be honest, David still felt a sense of frustration in his heart.
He has achieved countless brilliant achievements in the traditional investment industry. Many of his classic operations are regarded as the norm in the industry. He is the pride of heaven after a famous family. He has faced countless challenges in his life, but in the end they are all resolved one by one by one by one by her...
He is the strong one.
However, under his leadership, Tianhong Investment transferred part of its energy to the entertainment industry. The two consecutive investments failed, and they were all defeated by the same person.
Just like his love.
He has investigated Fan Zhe, from his family background to his growth process, to his work manager...
After reading Fan Zhe's resume, David felt that he was just an ordinary person, without any strong family background, no extraordinary knowledge, and at best he had a good artistic foundation.
But so what? Can it compare to the power of capital?
But why? Why do you frequently fail in such a person?
David doesn't understand.
However, such frustration just flashed by.
He has encountered countless difficult challenges and has experienced many failures, many of which are even more serious than this time.
So what? In the end, he won.
He always had a strong sense of confidence in himself: he believed that no matter what, as long as he wanted to do, he would definitely win in the end.
This time is no exception.
Compared with David, Xu Ziting from Heye Pictures is not so calm and chic.
Before this, the two movies "Hell Apartment" and "God of Wealth" were placed in front of her at the same time. She was extremely blind and tended to "God of Wealth" and put the treasure on the latter. For example, the arrangement of promotion resources, the resource arrangement of the publisher, and the communication with theaters... She was all inclined to "God of Wealth".
However, the final market performance slapped her in the face.
This matter itself will not have too much impact on her. However, her vision has been questioned to a certain extent, the muttering behind her colleagues and the sharpening of her competitors... are all inevitable.
But this is second.
Although she is the general manager of the company, she still has a boss on her head, and she is also responsible for her performance.
Weidu Entertainment has once again shown their strong strength. Xu Ziting also realized that this is a serious golden thigh.
And she herself once let go of her stupidly and spitted on her thighs, spitting... She was so stupid no matter how she looked at her!
She didn't know if there was any chance to remedy, but whether there was or not, she could only try to remedy it.
Xu Ziting called Ye Jiayi nervously. After taking a deep breath, she put on her warmest smile as soon as the phone was connected, and said, "Mr. Ye, do you have time? I want to ask you to have a meal together to celebrate the victory of the video."
