Another World Under My Pen

Chapter 1598: The key factor

"Hehe, is the gap so big?"

After watching the box office rankings of the latest weekend, Liang Ren's eyes were fixed on the name of the third-ranked movie, and his face was full of wry smiles.

In the second weekend of "Black Sea Blade", the competition remained fierce.

Therefore, the box office of the film that has been released for seven days inevitably slipped, but to Liang Ren's disappointment, the box office of "Black Sea Blade" slipped too fast. In the second weekend, under the squeeze of the 11 new films released, only ranked fifth!

In front of it, there are two new films and two "old" films.

Of course, if only ranked fifth, perhaps Liang Ren would not feel too uncomfortable, but the box office of "Black Sea Blade" was only 220 million in the second weekend, a drop of 65%, compared with two. The 900 million "Awakening" may not be too far behind, but when compared with others' 540 million "Terminator 2", it is simply the difference between heaven and earth!

Ten days after its release, the box office of "Black Sea Blade" reached 1.3 billion, but the 12-day "Terminator 2" has exceeded 2.9 billion!

Looking at the results, it is less than half of the opponent's.

If you look at the trend of the box office again, when the film is finished, "Black Sea Blade" will definitely not reach 2 billion, but "Terminator 2" should be 4 billion.

This gap is so desperate.

What made Liang Ren even more desperate was that these two films were obviously a contest between him and Lao Bai, and the final result was that he was defeated!

The investment for the two films is similar; the distribution channels and propaganda efforts cannot make the difference; even the directors of the two films are not too famous, but the strength and experience are online. So the biggest difference between "Black Sea Blade" and "Terminator 2" is naturally the two main actors and screenwriters.

One has a top Chinese actor, and behind the other is a super screenwriter.

The investment and publicity channels of the film companies on both sides are also directed at them. So basically speaking, the pk of the two films is actually a contest between Liang Ren, a veteran king of heaven, and Sun Peng, a young screenwriter.

For failure, Liang Ren had been mentally prepared for a long time, although he was very confident in his follow-up work this time, but the opponent is an old white after all, it is really difficult to win. But such a clean defeat...

"Billion dollars? Really humble!"

I couldn't help but glanced at the box office of "Terminator 2" again, and Liang Ren couldn't help showing a hint of admiration in his wry smile.

One billion dollar global box office, a small goal.

This stalk has been quite hot in the past ten days, especially before the results of the first weekend of "Terminator 2" came out, there were many people who supported and laughed at it. But when the box office of the first weekend was released, there was not much sarcasm left, and after the box office of the second weekend was also released, Liang Ren believed that there would be no more dissenting opinions.

China is 2.9 billion, North America is 140 million, Europe is 160 million, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia add up to less than 60 million, and there are a little more than 10 million in other corners, and the box office is almost the same now. Eight hundred million dollars.

The small goal of one billion dollars is just time.

Even in Liang Ren's view, the goal of "Terminator 2" should be set at 1.1 billion... or even 1.2 billion US dollars!

"Actually... Lao Bai's reputation is too great!"

Seeing Liang Ren's bitter face, the agent gritted his teeth and suddenly said: "In fact, the reasonable painting, "Inception" is very powerful, but there are more than 3 billion in China and 900 million in the world. One billion is already pretty awesome, "Terminator 2" is definitely less, but Lao Bai's name alone is worth hundreds of millions of other films' publicity costs, and the guarantee can also have a global value of 500 million US dollars. At the box office, this effect is really too great!"

Which one is several hundred million in the front, of course it is the Chinese currency.

Movie stars bring their own box office, which is the same everywhere. For example, for some small fresh meats in the entertainment industry, the reason why producers and directors are always willing to invite them is because their fans are willing to pay for the films they make; and the big brothers in the film industry like Liang Ren... He is the big brother of the film industry in the past, and after the movie is released, he will have a guaranteed box office score. In the huge market of China, even the guaranteed box office is quite impressive. If the quality of "Black Sea Blade" is higher and the reputation is not bad, it is not too difficult to get more than one billion box office.

But compared with Lao Bai, Liang Ren was a little bit unsightly.

Nowadays, as long as the film directed by Sun Peng or acting as a screenwriter, it basically starts at 2 billion in China, and it can guarantee a box office income of 200 to 300 million dollars abroad. In other words, whenever a Laobai or Laobai name is hung, the global box office is based on 500 million US dollars!

Of course, I'm talking about commercial blockbusters here, not "Encouragement" or "Frequency of Life and Death".

So for Liang Ren's feelings, the agent will say that just now.

Only after listening to the agent's painting, Liang Ren shook his head and laughed aloud: "I understand what you mean, Lao Bai's influence is indeed too great now! But have you ever thought about why this is so? "

"This……"

"The key point is that the audience never disappoints him!"

Taking a deep breath, Liang Ren said earnestly: “As long as Lao Bai’s high-profile publicity movies have had a bad reputation...No, should I ask if there have been works with a good reputation?”

"……No."

Without thinking for too long, the agent shook his head.

If Lao Bai wrote and directed the "Frequency of Life and Death" before, he might include it if it was released with fanfare. After all, it is a low-cost movie. If fans really think it is a sci-fi blockbuster and enter the cinema, they will definitely feel fooled.

However, Lao Bai didn't make much publicity from the beginning of the filming to the later release.

As a result of the low-key release, "Frequency of Life and Death" has a very good reputation. Later, distributors in many countries took the initiative to seek copyright, so that Lao Bai made another fortune-of course not much more than other blockbuster films, but compared to other movies, it is even a big profit.

But any film that is heavily invested will never disappoint investors, let alone fans.

This is why the box office of "Inception" and "Terminator 2" are very good, much higher than similar movies of the same quality-Lao Bai's fame and reputation are the key factors.

So seeing the agent faintly understanding, Liang Ren said: "You said that when I saw him last time, Lao Bai said he wanted to have dinner with me? Go back and take the initiative and make an appointment for me as soon as possible... "
