American Fortune Life

Andy knew that the box office of "Invincible Hulk" was a hit, even if the cost could be recovered, it would be a hit if the box office didn't make money.

Although a big-budget Hollywood movie can also provide continuous profits in addition to the box office, such as DVD sales and rentals, TV and toy peripherals, but the biggest source of income for making movies is the box office.

Take the box office of "The Incredible Hulk" as an example. The global box office is more than 300 million US dollars. After deducting sales tax and theater share, Marvel can receive 53% of the North American box office and 41% of the international box office. The box office revenue is about 1.5 One hundred million U.S. dollars. Subtract the average $50 million in marketing expenses for a theatrical release, and you're left with about $100 million.

Therefore, although the film has achieved a total box office of 328 million U.S. dollars, including 208 million U.S. dollars in North American box office and 120 million U.S. dollars in international box office, the box office revenue calculated by the film studio still cannot make up for the hole in the cost.

"In terms of home audiovisual distribution, it is expected to achieve $120-130 million in revenue. After deducting $20 million in marketing expenses and $30 million in production costs, the estimated net income is $80 million, and the profit margin is higher than that of theatrical distribution. much taller...

The television release is expected to generate $80 million in revenue. . . "

"Hehe." Andy shook his head again and laughed, looking at the stern-faced subordinates in the video, he couldn't help laughing: "Finally, I heard something that can soothe my depressed mood.

Although the box office of "Invincible Hulk" is a bit low, I was mentally prepared for this before the filming started, but I had to remake him, for the sake of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and also for the assembly of the Avengers, the appearance of Iron Man at the end , which laid the groundwork for the green fat to join the Avengers.

Anyway, thank you for your hard work, although the green fat man made us lose a bit, but our rich man Iron Man has helped us make a lot of money. In short, the start is smooth! "

Papa——

There was applause in the meeting room in the video, and the solemn and serious atmosphere eased a bit, but Andy felt a little helpless. After a while, he said again: "Then, start "Captain America"!"

That's right, the reason why Andy is grumpy is that the next American-themed movie is aimed at the small hearts of Americans. Audiences outside the United States are very indifferent to "Captain America". If he remembers correctly, this Star-Spangled Banner The captain is the second only to Lu Fatty's Pu Street. . .

Pounced on the street twice in a row, tsk tsk, it hurt my heart!

But there is no way, in order to sweep the world later, this must be gritted and persisted.

It's all right, we still have the short, rich and handsome Iron Man, and the Avengers, the money printing machine, all of these investments will be earned back!

Andy can only comfort himself in his heart. After all, tens of millions of losses, he is still very heartbroken. Although the current loss of Marvel Group is very beneficial to his own debts, but for money lover Andy, losing money It's still a pain in the ass for him.

Woohoo, my little money. . .

Sun Yizhen was a little shy and helpless looking at Andy who was lying in her arms, constantly muttering small money, desperately trying to take advantage of him, and couldn't laugh or cry angrily.

At the same time, in the assistant president's office of CJ Group in Seoul, Assistant Park had a cigarette dangling from his mouth. The smoke made his eyes narrow slightly, and he flicked the cigarette twice in the ashtray with his finger, his eyes were a little playful. Looking at a photo on the table, he shook his head, picked up the phone on the side and made a call.

"Hey, the town is full, it's me, am I busy? Well, let me tell you something, take down Yan Zhengxun from "East of Eden"..."

In an office of the director department of MBC TV station, Jin Jin held the phone with a wry smile on his face and said, "Brother Dongzhe, you have to give me a reason, this is about to start filming, I... how can I say that?" Ah, this role was originally opened by his father, Director Yan..."

Jin Jinman wanted to explain, but when he heard the increasingly impatient tone on the phone,

He also shook his head helplessly, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, brother Dongzhe, I know what to do."

After hanging up the phone, Jin Zhenman picked up the cigarette case from the table and took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff with some depression.

No way, who let CJ Entertainment be the investor of this TV series! Hey, it looks like I'm going to feel sorry for Director Yan, but who did this Yan Zhengxun and Han Jiaren offend? Two well-known actors have been reduced to the point where they have nothing to film. This time they finally got a role, and then There was a phone call. . .

Jin Zhenman couldn't help frowning his eyebrows in thought, thinking of Han Jiaren's alluring beauty, he shook his head and said to himself with a wry smile: "Your beauty is a disaster, I don't know which son's heart has been hurt!"

No one is a fool. This kind of blockade in the entertainment industry is not targeted at death. No one would do it. Not only does it require strong strength, it also needs to have a huge influence on the entertainment industry. Yan Zhengxun is not Jin Zhenman Look down on him, he really doesn't have the ability to offend such a big man.

And it is not difficult to guess the root cause. After all, Han Jiaren's beauty is recognized. To be honest, I don't know how many people are staring at such a beautiful actress. What makes people stunned and surprised is that she got married in a flash. , To be honest, this caused a great sensation in the Korean entertainment circle.

Thinking about it now, these two people have had bad luck since they got married. Hey, getting a treasure that is unable to protect is undoubtedly the beginning of a disaster.

Jin Zhenman narrowed his eyes slightly, stubbed out his cigarette, and after a moment of silence, he picked up the phone and made a call.

"Zhengxun, it's me, Jin Zhenman, are you free later? Go out for a few drinks with me..."

. . . . . .

In the tatami box of a Korean barbecue restaurant, Jin Jinman, who was already flushed from drinking, drank the last glass of depth charge, and his whole face was tangled together.

"Snapped!"

The wine glass was slammed on the table, his body was shaking a little, his eyes were wandering looking at the other side, only knowing that he kept pouring wine into his mouth, Yan Zhengxun's face was full of frustration and pain.

"Hey--"

Jin Zhenman sighed and staggered to his feet, stretched out his hand to hold Yan Zhengxun who was about to get up and see him off, shook his head and smiled wryly: "Don't send me off, I'm ashamed to see Senior Yan again... Hey, Zhengxun, I'm sorry, I have begged again and again, but unfortunately..."

He shook his head while talking, then patted Yan Zhengxun on the shoulder and said, "Zhengxun, you are a good boy and a good actor, but... Forget it, find another job."

After finishing speaking, Jin Zhenman opened the wooden door, put on his shoes, waved to Yan Zhengxun who had already stood up, and staggered out of the barbecue shop.

Sitting in the car, lighting a cigarette, Jin Zhenman took a look at the desolate figure standing in the barbecue shop, and smiled wryly, "Drive."

Located in a high-end villa complex in Bangbae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, reeking of alcohol, with a helpless wry smile on his face, Yan Zhengxun, who was a bit shabby, swayed and stretched out his hands to support the door of the house.

"Bang bang bang—"

"Crack——"

"Ah! Why do you drink so much wine? Ah! It stinks..."

Yan Zhengxun appeared in front of the door with drunken eyes, wrinkled his nose and fanned the wind, and couldn't help laughing at the beautiful face that Korean men covet, and stretched out his hand to push away Han Jiaren in front of the door, shaking He walked into the room with a heavy body, tore off his tie, and left it on the ground.

"Zhengxun, what's the matter with you?" Han Jiaren, with her bright eyes widened, her hair tied into a bun, and wearing a white and blue striped T-shirt and shorts, hurriedly closed the door. She was as smart as she was, so she naturally saw it. My husband's state is not normal.

"Ha ha..."

Hearing Han Jiaren ask him, Yan Zhengxun turned his head and shook his body, looked at the pretty face he loved to death, pointed at Han Jiaren and laughed, the smile became uglier and uglier, and finally almost cried out.

"Zhengxun, don't scare me, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to you?" Han Jiaren was so frightened that her face paled, her eyes widened, and she hurried forward to support Yan Zhengxun.

And Yan Zhengxun shook his head and pushed Han Jiaren away, sat on the ground with tears on his face, lowered his head and smiled and said in a low voice, "Hehe, thanks to my wife, I was kicked out of the TV series. The director hinted at me. , stop being an actor, find another job, hehe..."

"Ah?!" Han Jiaren's pretty face turned extremely pale, and the expression on her face became panic-stricken. She squatted down hurriedly, shaking Yan Zhengxun's arm and said anxiously: "Hasn't the filming already started? How do you terminate the contract?" Just terminate the contract? Hasn't that person been transferred overseas, how could he..."

Han Jiaren's words were suddenly lifted up, and Yan Zhengxun, who was staring at her intently, stopped abruptly in fright.

"Haha...my good wife, she is a four-star prince, she can kill me with just one phone call!" Yan Zhengxun got up from the ground with a smile, and walked into the guest room staggeringly.

"boom!"

Han Jiaren was startled by the sound of the door being slammed hard, her eye circles turned red quickly, and tears rolled down her eyes. Looking at the closed room door, with tears in her eyes, she turned around and poured water, then stood in front of the door and knocked , Send water to Yan Zhengxun.

"Please leave me alone! Please!"

Yan Zhengxun's roar made Han Jiaren, who was holding ice water, stand in front of the door and burst into tears.
