On August 25th, "The Return of the Great Sage" finally came to an end after two months of release, with a box office record of 1.532 billion yuan.

It was almost one-third more than what Jiang Xiao remembered as the box office of this movie, which was definitely a big change.

One of the reasons is naturally due to the brand effect of lemon, this is for sure.

The second thing is of course... no matter how good it is, the quality of the movie is already top-notch among domestic animations, and this is also a fundamental factor.

Whether it is good or not is up to the audience to judge.

Although it is not uncommon for bad movies to achieve high box office results, for example, "Pancake Man", which was released almost at the same time as "Monster Hunt", received a lot of criticism, but still received more than 1 billion in box office.

It may be related to the fact that the mainland film market has been in a state of "barbaric" growth in recent years. As long as there are a lot of stars and enough momentum, some box office myths can always be created.

But sooner or later there will be a day when things return to "normal". After suffering a loss once, can you still be fooled a second time?

"Open to Me..." No, it was "Fortress" that failed miserably. The so-called "traffic" no longer works. Lu Meizi has 60 million fans, one ticket per person, and the box office is about 3 billion, but

…Will fans buy a little too much?

Okay, that's a bit off topic. In short, "The Return of the Great Sage" has gained word-of-mouth and money. It has earned quite a lot. After a rough calculation, if you remove what should be removed, the income of about 450 million should be about the same. It is worth a Gulfstream G650.

There is super.

These are all excluding the subsequent profits from copyrights and so on. Anyway, I made a lot of money.

By the way, let's talk about the movie "Monster Hunt". Of course, the box office has successfully exceeded the 2 billion mark, 2.379 billion, which is not far from 2.4 billion.

There is definitely no problem in breaking through 2.4 billion in the end, and it is no longer a "water injection" in memory, but a real box office.

After all, the current Chinese film market is definitely better than Jiang Xiao remembers, and it is almost all the collateral impact he has brought, which has accelerated the faster development of this industry.

In particular, the box office of "Act of the Brave" exceeded 3.6 billion yuan, making capital far crazier than in memory.

It can be said that this industry has been growing wildly in recent years, with a large influx of capital, and everything is done with money, which has caused actors' salaries to skyrocket, and news of tens of millions or hundreds of millions being spent to film a drama comes out from time to time.

Who created all this?

Obviously, capital.

Jiang Xiao didn't say that just because he was an actor and artist, he was just helping to speak for himself or something, but there must be a reason behind the high salary. It is estimated that the celebrities themselves were shocked by the crazy methods of spending money to recruit people at the beginning.

However, no one will dislike money, and there is no need to get used to it.

And being so snatched, supported, and spoiled by capital, it is difficult for someone to not be arrogant or arrogant. Only a few can maintain their true intentions, or you have not yet reached that level of popularity.

If you really want to talk about it, how do you evaluate Tang Guoqiang, who advertises infertility hospitals for money and was criticized by CCTV?

Talking about the box office of "Monster Hunt", no matter what, there will definitely not be any "water injection" incident. After all, it has no meaning to surpass "Vegetarian 7". The first place in the total box office list is now 3.677 billion yuan.

"Action of the Brave".

All in all, although it has not yet been released, it is estimated that the final box office of "Monster Hunt" should be more than 2.4 billion, and the revenue brought to Lemon is about 180 million, with costs of 50 million, so the net income is

Around 130 million.

Because it only received 20% of the total revenue, "The Return of the Great Sage" with a box office of more than 1.5 billion made more money.

130 million is not a lot, almost one third of a Gulfstream G650, well, private jets have become a unit of measurement.

"cousin."

"Here you go, sit down!"

In the office, Jiang Xiao looked at Liu Lianzi, who was called by him, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Um!"

Hearing this, Liu Lianzi herself sat obediently opposite Jiang Xiao.

"You're about to start school, right?"

Jiang Xiao asked again.

"Yes, there is less than a week left."

"Okay then, just go back to your own school and don't have to come over to my place again. Just make final preparations in the remaining days."

"Okay cousin, I understand!"

She really wanted to go to school, and even if Jiang Xiao didn't ask her, Liu Lianzi was actually prepared to take the initiative to mention it.

"By the way, you can be regarded as being my temporary assistant for almost two months. You can't work for nothing, but you are not a lemon employee and can't work in finance. Then I will pay you two months' salary privately. Now I will forward it to you on WeChat

.”

After speaking, Jiang Xiao picked up his mobile phone and started operating it.

"Ah, salary? No need, cousin. I just want to gain some experience with you, and I don't do anything. I just run errands. You really don't need to pay me."

Liu Lianzi, who had never expected Jiang Xiao to give her a salary, immediately shook her head and refused.

"Don't refuse. Since you have worked, you should be given."

Jiang Xiao didn't care much and transferred 10,000 yuan to his super "cheap" cousin while talking.

"One, ten thousand is too much, cousin. Even if I give it, you can do whatever you want."

Liu Lianzi subconsciously took out her cell phone when she heard the prompt, but when she saw Jiang Xiao actually transferred 10,000 yuan to her, she instinctively refused.

"Okay, be obedient and accept it. My assistant will only give you so much, and then you can make whatever arrangements you like!"

After the problem was solved, Jiang Xiao was ready to see off the guests.

"Then, cousin, can you give me the honor to treat you to dinner tonight? Just for today, please, promise me!"

Although she wanted to refuse again, Jiang Xiao's words of "obedient" seemed a bit irresistible to Liu Lianzi, but as soon as she thought about it, she decided to invite her "cheap cousin" to dinner.

"Okay, let's have dinner together tonight. You can treat me to hot pot. It's been a long time since I've had it. You're from Chengdu, so our tastes are suitable for everything."

After thinking about it, Jiang Xiao finally didn't refuse to eat, and even ordered hot pot on his own initiative.

"That's what you need, hee!"

Seeing that Jiang Xiao agreed, Liu Lianzi was naturally very happy and even said something in Shu dialect.

~~~~

Around seven o'clock in the evening.

At a certain hot pot restaurant, which seemed to be of high quality at first glance, Jiang Xiao, who was dressed in a very low-key manner and deliberately concealed it, came here alone with Liu Lianzi, and asked for a private room to eat hot pot.

In short, when the waiter girl was around, he hardly spoke, lowered the brim of his hat and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, showing off his acting skills without raising his head, and nonchalantly let his cheap cousin do the operation.

Maybe the waiter girl will leave such a beautiful girl, why did she find such a flirtatious boyfriend? She really has a problem with her vision. She may have some other psychological reasons to add, "I guess the guy is."

Rich words.

Anyway, it wasn't until there was no one else in the box that Jiang Xiao put away his phone, returned to normal, and started eating hot pot.

Naturally, I found a topic at random and chatted with Liu Lianzi while eating: "By the way, are you a performance major?"

"It's not a performance department, it's a musical. I've been studying dance. Maybe I'm better at it, otherwise I might not be able to get into the Chinese Opera Department."

Naturally, Liu Lianzi, who had nothing to hide, confessed all the facts to Jiang Xiao.

"Musical? So you like this?"

Jiang Xiao asked in surprise.

"I don't know. Maybe I don't like it that much. It's more likely that I just want to be admitted to the Chinese Opera. I haven't even seriously thought about whether I will engage in this industry in the future."

Liu Lianzi, who didn't pretend to be pretentious, was able to say what was on her mind.

"Is that so? Musical theater is relatively niche in China. It's okay if you don't know if you like it or not. You can just follow your heart after getting exposed to it."

The cheap cousin sounded quite candid, so Jiang Xiao naturally encouraged her.

There is not much else to say, let alone that because there is a "cheap" cousin and a relationship that is not a "relationship", I directly promised to come to Lemon and hang out with the "cheap cousin" in the future.

Although the reason why Liu Lianzi appeared next to him and the consideration of the other party's mother should have some ideas, the little girl's own words... It's not surprising that she is not too old or too young. This is the society now.

In this way, even simple people will be affected.

It can be said that the changes between Jiang Xiao's own generation and the next generation's peers have been great. They have become more mature in all aspects, and they know more and more early on. This is obviously a change caused by social influence.
