Chapter 633: Profit from "Crazy Stone", new drama launched(1/2)
"Crazy Stone" was released for 26 days and the box office exceeded 2 billion.
And the box office stamina is very strong, with a box office of 20 million yuan every day, and the box office can double on weekends.
Therefore, the theater agreed to postpone "Crazy Stone" for one month.
Generally speaking, movies are released for a month, and then they are released from theaters and released online.
However, there are also some movies that have strong box office stamina and will be postponed.
"Crazy Stone" has great staying power. One of the reasons is that the leading actor is not well-known, so the audience did not plan to watch it at first. They only found time to watch it after seeing the high ratings of the film.
Moreover, "Crazy Stone" has indeed exploded in word-of-mouth. When passers-by saw the reviews of film critics, they even felt that it was too outrageous.
However, after they went to the cinema to watch it, they felt that "Crazy Stone" could withstand this kind of evaluation.
"Crazy Stone" has been trending on WeChat Moments for a month, with everyone following it.
This summer, if you don't watch "Crazy Stone", it will be like you haven't had a summer vacation at all.
Therefore, in August, there are still audiences going to the cinema to watch "Crazy Stone".
Although the stamina is sufficient in the movie, it has almost reached its upper limit after one month of release.
After the total box office reached 2.3 billion, the single-day box office of "Crazy Stone" also dropped to 7 or 8 million, and the final box office is expected to reach 2.4 billion.
With a box office of 2.4 billion, this was Fang Xing’s first movie and the answer he delivered.
The film industry is very real.
In this industry, work is the biggest voice.
Fang Xing's achievements in the field of TV dramas were not recognized by the film industry, but now he has made a box office of 2.4 billion with a comedy film without top-tier actors.
He immediately gained recognition from the film industry and made a name for himself in the film industry.
…
It’s not just the director Fang Xing.
Several leading actors who were not well-known before have soared in popularity.
In the past, Guo Shi was an 18th-tier actor. After working in this industry for 20 years, he still could not get a familiar role.
However, "Crazy Stone" became a hit, and his popularity soared along with it.
Many film and television companies came to invite him to film, and in just one month, he received several scripts.
and.
In the entertainment industry, the status of movie stars is much higher than that of TV stars.
Guo Shi became famous overnight and became a movie star.
If he acted in a TV series now, it would be considered a dimensionality reduction blow.
It’s not just actors who were originally unknown who became famous.
Even the king of Xiangjiang, Liang Youhua, won the love of many audiences in the mainland because of this movie.
Originally, Liang Youhua came to guest star in "Crazy Stone" for the sake of Penguin Pictures President Zhang Changfeng.
At first, he was just repaying Zhang Changfeng's favor and never thought about what he could gain from this movie.
After all, he is already a superstar, and if he makes a guest appearance in a movie with a low investment, it is impossible for him to get any big promotion from this movie.
However, "Crazy Stone" still gave him a little surprise.
His phrase "I'll beat your lungs out!" became a popular saying during this summer vacation.
Now you can see this sentence everywhere on the Internet.
Whenever netizens encounter something they want to complain about, they just say: "I'll give you a thumbs up!"
Even the picture of Liang Youhua taking off his sunglasses and saying this line has been made into an emoticon package and is active in various online communities and communication software.
The funniest thing is that Liang Youhua once participated in an event in Donghai and met an elderly square dance aunt.
The aunt recognized him, but couldn't pronounce his name, so she said directly: "You are the one... I will punch you in the face!"
This sounds like a curse.
However, many actors who have had popular roles have had this experience.
Passers-by you meet on the street may not necessarily be able to call the actor's real name, but they can call Hong the character's name.
Therefore, Liang Youhua was not surprised at all and gave the aunt her autograph.
…
One month after the release of "Crazy Stone", the subsequent box office has basically stabilized, and the promotion continues, but the effect is not obvious.
Therefore, the crew and crew, who have been running road shows for more than a month, are officially on vacation.
Fang Xing is rarely at home during the day.
When Qian Qian saw her father during the day, she jumped up in surprise, took her father's hand and ran to the piano room: "Dad sings, dad sings, dad sings..."
The little girl is almost three years old, and she is full of cleverness.
I already know that there are delicious things in the refrigerator, so I often drag my grandparents to the refrigerator and point to the refrigerator door.
It is not suitable for children to eat too many snacks, otherwise they will refuse to eat.
Therefore, every time Fang Xing saw him, he would order him not to open the refrigerator door.
It's just that the grandparents dote on their granddaughter so much that they often give her to her secretly.
Fang Xing often couldn't help but complain: "When I was a kid, why didn't I see you secretly buying me snacks?"
Then, Fang’s mother would come back with a lot of words and lectures.
…
Since the guaranteed box office contract signed with Penguin Pictures is 2 billion, "Crazy Stone" has already reached the box office requirements of the contract.
Therefore, the final accounts will be divided according to the normal proportion.
This time, the total box office of "Crazy Stone" reached 2.4 billion, and the box office share available to the producers was 860 million.
Among the 860 million, it needs to be divided among several film and television investment companies according to the investment ratio.
In addition, Fang Xing's original director's contract was at the top level, which was 15 million plus a 7% share ratio.
Therefore, coupled with Fang Xing’s share of the director’s share, Ark Culture can ultimately earn more than 600 million in profit.
In this project, Ark Culture only invested 50 million yuan, but made a profit of more than 600 million yuan.
A tenfold return rate is simply a golden project in the film industry.
therefore.
As soon as "Crazy Stone" came out, Ark Culture's status was instantly established in the film industry.
…
the other side.
"Dark Ones 2" has been airing for several months, and no new drama projects have been launched yet.
Ark Culture's film and television production department, together with Zhang Yigao, has begun actively looking for new projects.
As a content output company, Ark Culture currently focuses on TV series for most of its projects.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, many film and television companies will take the initiative to contact us and seek cooperation.
Ark Culture's film and television production department receives several scripts every month. If there is a suitable script, they will also meet with the scriptwriting team to chat.
The same goes for Wang Yutao. After the broadcast of "Ancient Acacia", he has not made a feature film for half a year. He continues to be responsible for the MVs of the company's singers and commercials.
Now the film and television production department has screened out two scripts and is preparing to film a costume drama.
However, the film and television production department couldn't decide which script to choose, so they wanted Qiao Yinghong to make the decision.
Qiao Yinghong read two scripts and had the same difficulty.
These two scripts look okay, but there is no telling how good they are.
Qiao Yinghong had no choice but to show it to Fang Xing and said, "These are two scripts selected by the film and television production department. Their idea is to change one of the scripts into an ancient puppet and let Zhang Yigao film it."
After the Ark Culture crew finished filming "Crazy Stone", there have been no new projects for several months.
For a company to develop healthily, it needs to make its departments run smoothly.
Therefore, new projects must be opened.
Fang Xing briefly read the beginnings of the two scripts, shook his head and said, "The plot is a bit cliche."
Qiao Yinghong nodded and said: "Audiences actually don't mind the clichéd plot, and for ancient puppets, the minimum limit is high. If Zhang Yigao is allowed to film it, it will be profitable no matter what."
For Qiao Yinghong, as long as the project is guaranteed to be profitable, it is considered a success.
Then filming ancient puppets is the best choice. As long as you find a few actors who suit the audience's taste, you can make a profit if you film it.
Fang Xing thought for a moment and said: "Forget it, neither of these scripts will be filmed. I have a script here. Please inform me that there will be a meeting tomorrow and ask Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao to come."
