560 small cost big production
Qin Yunzi, wearing a sky blue swimsuit, held the stainless steel handrail and walked up from the swimming pool. At first glance, she saw Chen Yao's smiley expression.
"Is the good news?" She walked towards him with her hair.
Chen Yao faced her mobile phone screen. When Qin Yunzi looked at her, her eyes immediately lit up!
"Box Office Champion?"
"Yes." Chen Yao said: "It defeated the Hollywood science fiction blockbuster released at the same time, and the box office in a single day exceeded 210 million yuan."
Qin Yunzi said: "Why is it only ten million on the first day, but it soared so fast the next day?"
"The box office on the first day was not ideal, mainly because the screening rate was too low, and there were too few people who knew it. As the word of mouth spread, the theaters gave them enough scenes.
The theaters provide enough resources, and the box office surged the next day!"
What is certain is that the investment in "Mysterious Journey" has recovered its cost. With an investment of 30 million, the box office will exceed 300 million in three days.
The popularity of watching movies now can last for a long time.
"Is it possible to defeat Hollywood's "Future Warrior" with its total box office?" Qin Yunzi asked.
Chen Yao shook his head: "I care more about its return on investment than the total box office."
It makes no sense to compare the total box office with Hollywood. Even if you can beat it in China, the global box office cannot be compared with Hollywood.
As an investor, what you care more about is its rate of return, which is the most real benefit.
Don’t watch Hollywood movies at the global box office of billions of dollars, most of them are losses or unable to make money.
In other words, the return on investment is extremely low.
One of the reasons is that Hollywood movies spend too much money on special effects.
This also fully proves that a so-called cultural power like America is ultimately a product of capital promotion. What kind of culture is built on the basis of wealth.
Movies themselves are high-risk investments, and most of them are losing money. It is good to be able to recover costs. Movies with more than twice the return on investment are even more magnificent.
In the history of the world's film development, the highest return on investment is undoubtedly "The Legend of Ghost". You can tell by reading the name that it is a horror film that has not been released in China and not many people are familiar with it.
But it is a classic work that can be written into textbooks in the film industry. The film that invested closely 15,000 US dollars has earned nearly 200 million US dollars in the world.
The rate of return is more than 6555 times!
This return on investment is probably difficult to break in another hundred years.
In China, the movie with the highest return on investment is "No. 32, Area B".
A movie that only invested 70,000 yuan, but it earned 16 million yuan, with a return on investment of more than 200 times.
But it is a totally bad movie. The so-called movie shot with a DV camera does not even have a stand, and the camera is simply outrageous.
People in the film and television industry do not regard it as a movie, so they rarely mention it. Such a return rate is of no reference significance to film and television workers.
In the blink of an eye, three weeks have passed. "Mysterious Journey", which was originally scheduled to be offline in two weeks, has been extended by an additional week.
Early in the morning, Chen Yao brushed his teeth and washed his face as usual, and then picked up his phone and refreshed it.
After "Mysterious Journey" was launched, the total box office finally came out.
All major media have released the same news-
"Mysterious Journey" was launched for 21 days, and the total box office exceeded 920 million!
Chen Yao's eyes lit up, and he was about to calculate how many times the rate of return was.
At this moment, director Li Chenguang called in.
As soon as it was connected, Chen Yao heard his happy laughter.
"Hahaha, have you seen the box office data? More than 900 million yuan, which is much beyond our expectations!"
Indeed, Chen Yao didn't expect such results. It would be great to expect that he could recover the cost by more than 100 million yuan.
"Come out, we'll sit down and talk to the nearby restaurant." Director Li hung up the phone after he said.
20 minutes later, when he opened the glass door of the restaurant, a cool air conditioning wind blew towards him. Chen Yao saw Li Chenguang and Zhao Hongshan sitting next to the window at first sight.
He speeds up and sits down across from them.
Director Li Chenguang personally poured tea for him: "Mr. Chen Yao, I really admire you, small costs and big returns!"
Although the profits generated by this movie have nothing to do with him, after all, he shot the movie and had conflicts with the original investors. The movie was so popular that he exclaimed.
I guess Pan Lunbei regretted seeing this box office data!
920 million yuan is the highest-grossing movie ever made by Li Chenguang, which can greatly enhance Director Li's position in the film industry.
Zhao Hongshan took a sip of tea and said, "It's a pity that the cinema line has only been extended for one week. If the release time is extended for another week, the box office will definitely be fine if it exceeds 1.1 billion."
Chen Yao took a sip of Longjing tea ceremony: "I am really satisfied to do this now when the box office is doing this."
Zhao Hongshan changed the subject and said, "I am now responsible for another movie, a domestic science fiction, and the special effects of the movie. I hope your company's team will complete it."
The reason why "Mysterious Journey" can make a big comeback is entirely because of the special effects, which are amazing.
Zhao Hongshan really can't find a better special effects team than Chen Yao in China. Even if Hollywood can achieve that level, the cost is at least 10 times.
Chen Yao agreed readily: "No problem."
Afterwards, Li Chenguang and Zhao Hongshan left the restaurant for something else. Before leaving, the director said that there would be a celebration banquet tonight.
A celebration banquet was held at the nearby Shangri-La Hotel, and such a box office is worth celebrating.
Chen Yao sat silently in the restaurant, turned on his mobile phone to watch the news online, the entertainment version of the news software, the technology version, and the financial version of the most advanced news, all reporting on "Mysterious Journey".
