Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 352: Box Office Dark Horse

Xie Zihao has been busy exorcising demons in the past two days, and then buying ranches and lakes. He has not paid attention to the Lost movie. If it hadn't been for the calls from his agent James and director Sophia, he would not have known that Lost had successfully broken through this year.

Lost has been in theaters for a month, and even though it was released during the slow period from the last week of September to just before Halloween, it earned an astonishing box office of 6.11 million pounds in its first week.

Melinda and Jessica were both shocked when they heard the news.

"Buy it!"

"It's incredible..."

You should know that Lost and the others also went to the cinema to support it. Although it feels good, this is a literary film!

In the film industry, usually only commercial blockbusters in the summer season or comedies in the Christmas season can perform like this at the box office in their first week. And those are commercial films that are successful. Blockbusters that fail are not blockbusters.

Jessica asked in disbelief after hearing this box office data:

"Lance, I remember you said that the cost of the Lost movie plus publicity expenses was only a few hundred thousand pounds, right?"

Xie Zihao smiled and replied:

"That's right."

Of course, the main reason is that the male and female protagonists are most widely recognized for their good looks.

After reading some news, Xie Zihao felt that most of the people who rushed to launch new movie projects would lose money!

From his perspective beyond this era, the film "Lost" can only be said to be okay. After all, Sofia is just a new director. Even with the help of several assistant directors, the finished film will only be rated six to seven out of ten.

Jessica was more sensitive to numbers. She counted on her fingers and compared it with the box office data in the news, and she immediately figured out how much money the movie's investors would earn!

I have to say that Sophia can be regarded as the true successor of her father. The lens is used well, and it has a romantic and cold quality. In addition, he also showed unusual eyes and temperament through special abilities in the movie, although through the lens and film conversion

These effects may not be the same, but they also give the character he plays a charm that goes beyond ordinary movie roles. This can be seen from the surge in popularity in Ball of God after the movie was released.

His popularity has increased more than ten times compared to before?

Various reasons came together to make Lost's box office far exceed expectations.

In this world, the entire market value of many small-scale listed companies is just this amount.

Because every year, more than 80% of the films produced by Hollywood that can be released in theaters actually lose money or make no money. Just like gambling, everyone wants to take a gamble in case they really win.

Where is it?

Xie Zihao did not underestimate the figure of six million at all, because this is a huge wealth equivalent to 60 to 70 million yuan in his previous life and four to five billion soft sister coins.

Xie Zihao was also surprised when he heard this data on the phone before.

On the contrary, these data have caused a great shock in Hollywood or the entire North American entertainment industry. For many people, it does not matter whether art is artistic or not, making money is the most important thing.

Therefore, many media and film critics have recently begun to report and comment on this news. Not to mention it is overwhelming in newspapers and TV, at least in newspapers of all sizes across the federation, whether it is the social section, financial section or entertainment section, every time you open a newspaper, there will be something lost.

Relevant news appears.

In the end, the industry can only attribute the success of Lost to the fact that the actors were well chosen, the male and female protagonists are good-looking, the plot structure is clear, the narrative is relatively lively, and the pace is not as draggy as ordinary literary films.

Of course, Xie Zihao was just surprised. Not to mention that it was all money earned by others and had nothing to do with him. Moreover, he held the treasure buried by the three founding giants of the White Eagle. Compared with the entire national treasure, this small amount of money was just a small amount.

Just a fraction.

If other film crews want to replicate this success, they must first have a protagonist who can arouse topics and controversy, and secondly, the director's ability level must be up to standard, and he must at least tell a story clearly.

Even if the popularity brought by the debut of the daughter of a great director is almost exhausted in the first week, the remaining weeks will be contributed by fans who really like this type of film, including some viewers who are attracted by the appearance of the male protagonist.

.

Even if the box office is far less popular in the second week than in the first week, one month after the release of Lost, the total box office in North America has reached 13 million pounds, and the global figure is equivalent to 500 pounds, because

Because it was released later than in North America, it has continued to grow since then.

In his opinion, the biggest reason why he is able to set a box office record with a high probability of being ranked in the top three this year with Xiao Bo Da is that Sofia Cole, the daughter of a great director, is very popular. She has been away from the entertainment industry for five years.

Suddenly there was news that he had made a movie as a director, and everyone was very curious and wanted to take a look.

Finally, I discovered that, except for the fact that the male protagonist in this movie showed his upper body, there were not as many erotic scenes as some Western art films that used the banner of literature and art to engage in eroticism. It was just a romantic love story that took place in a foreign country.

The middle pair of protagonists go through the ups and downs of love and life, which is a bit sadistic, and the ending is a happy ending. Such love movies are everywhere in Hollywood and in the film industry around the world, and they don't seem to be anything special.

Because this is equivalent to the kind of movie that was made in the previous life with a cost of only a few million dollars, with a global box office of close to 200 million dollars. It can definitely be called a dark horse at the box office, and a model of making a big difference with a small amount.

And if this kind of movie hits the box office, it will make a lot of money, and it is completely worth the gamble.

"It's so amazing. She deserves to be the daughter of the great director of the century!"

Even major film companies have begun to internally analyze the reasons for the success of Investigation Lost.

Some film companies and investors also feel that this is profitable, and are willing to invest small and medium-cost investments to try the water. Anyway, the money is not much, and it is not a pity to lose it.

It's similar to the compensation mentality he said online in his previous life that he owed someone a movie ticket, which is why the box office was so popular in the first week. The early box office success also attracted subsequent moviegoers, and everyone wanted to see it.

What is this movie that many people say is good after watching it?

As a result, many Hollywood literary and artistic film directors realized that they had found the secret to success, and began to look for actors to invest in current screenplays. Recently, at least more than double-digit low-cost artistic and romantic films are being approved, and they are preparing to imitate them.

The lost model rides on the popularity to make a fortune.

It can be said that the North American box office in the first week has already allowed the lost investors to repay their capital and make a lot of money. After a few days when the movie is released and the global box office is settled, the accounts for North American and overseas distributors and theaters will be deducted.

There are still several areas where the copyright fees are being bought out, and the total income of Sofia and Tracy as the main investors and Cole Film Company will reach a figure of about 6 million pounds.

In short, strength and luck are indispensable.

This is the saying that those who learn from me will live, and those who resemble me will die.

Xie Zihao's attention to the box office did not last long, because there was a notice from Sophia that a celebration party was planned to be held on the day the movie was released.

It is the kind that will be walked on the red carpet, so he needs to prepare customized formal suits in advance and appear as the main creative staff second only to the director.

Feeling that this was another activity that could gain popularity, although Xie Zihao was impatient with those hypocritical entertainments, he had to prepare well.
