Entertainment: Start from the unexpected

Fortunately, Mo Wen no longer needs to do these things personally. After handing the copy to Gu Ling, someone will naturally handle it. This is the benefit of being your own boss.

There are many things that can be done by the people under your command.

After finishing the review of "The Gambling Man", the bored Mo Wen started the preparations for his next movie. The first step was naturally to write the script.

Three days later, Mo Wen handed the script to Gu Ling and asked him to contact the actors. After that, Mo Wen had nothing to do again.

Mo Wen, who was bored, finally had time to see how much of a storm his second movie "The Gambler" could set off in the world.

The first thing Mo Wen read was the movie review, because it was the first time that a nonsensical movie like this by Star Master had appeared in the world, and it was also the first time that a movie of this type appeared in the world.

I don’t know if the audience can accept it.

Although on the first day of its release, Mo Wen received feedback from the audience in the cinema.

However, that is only a small portion of the audience and does not represent the entire audience.

Mo Wen opened the China Film Critics Network, and when he saw the eye-catching 9.2 score and more than 10 million people participating in the review, Mo Wen felt relieved.

Looking at the movie reviews below, 90% of them are praising this type of gambling movie as being very novel, interesting and beautiful. And 70% to 80% of the movie reviews are praising the performance of the two leading actors.

Some say that actor Zhou Xingxing's style is very lovable, while others say that Yang Dami's professionalism in acting and fighting scenes in this movie made the audience feel refreshed.

There are only a small number of trolls who just want to troll, saying that movies like gambling movies will give bad guidance to teenagers. Some also say that the protagonist Zhou Xingxing is like a fool, pretending to be crazy and trying to be funny.

It is even said that the plot of this movie is empty, has no connotation, and is just a mindless comedy.

Mo Wen also laughed at these trolls.

Anyway, no matter how good a movie is, it's impossible for everyone to like it. After all, everyone's preferences are different.

Compared to the trolls on Earth, this world is already quite restrained.

As long as most people like the movie, that's enough.

After reading the movie review, Mo Wen checked the real-time box office of The Gambler.

Although Mo Wen had vaguely heard Gu Ling and the others mentioning that the box office of Gambling Saint was very good before, Mo Wen really didn't know how much it was.

On earth, at that time, the box office of the gambling saint in Hong Kong reached more than 41 million. In that year, the total box office in Xiangjiang was only over one billion, but the gambling saint was able to win the annual box office with more than 41 million.

Box office champion.

Now Mo Wen has brought Gambler to this world with tens of billions of box office every year, and it is such a novel subject, and the publicity is so good, it is difficult not to have a box office explosion.

Sure enough, after Mo Wen opened the real-time box office website of Gambling Saint, the first thing he saw was that Gambling Saint's total box office at this time was 2.48 billion.

Mo Wen then looked down. The box office of Gambling Saint on the first day was 86 million, and the box office for the remaining six days of the first week were 120 million, 130 million, 140 million, 130 million, 130 million, and 120 million respectively.

The total box office in the first week reached a terrifying 860 million.

According to the rules of this world, if the box office in the first week can basically reach one-third of the total box office, the box office of Gambler can basically reach about 2.5 billion.

Facts have proven that this rule is quite accurate.

The Gambler will be released in a few days, and the current box office has reached 2.48 billion. Although the box office will drop sharply in the last few days of the movie's release, with the quality of The Gambler, it has earned a 2,000 yuan in the last few days.

Wan is still no problem.

Gambling Saint will definitely reach a box office of 2.5 billion by then.

Seeing this, Mo Wen turned on his computer and began to calculate how much profit this gambling sage could bring him.

If calculated based on the total box office of Gambler's 2.5 billion, and deducting the 10% film tax, there will still be a profit of more than 22.5 billion.

The box office revenue of 2.25 billion will be divided equally between the producer and the cinema, with each accounting for 50%. Then Mowen's Earth Studio will be able to obtain a gross profit of 1.125 billion.

After deducting the 6% commercial tax, the figure is 67.5 million. The amount that can be transferred to Mo Wen's Earth Studio account is a huge 1.0575 billion.

Mo Wen's total investment in the movie "The Gambling Saint" was announced to be 50 million. In fact, the actual money spent was only Yang Dami's 18 million salary, plus the other actors' 8 million salary, which is the same as the filming time.

The total cost is only 30 million.

As for the other 20 million, Mowen claimed that 15 million was used for later development. The 15 million had already been transferred to Mowen’s overseas bearer account. The remaining 5 million was used for later development.

Expenses for publicity.

Even if these are deducted, the movie "The Gambler" still brought net income of more than 1 billion to Mo Wen's Earth Studio.

Mo Wen planned to use the remaining few million as red envelopes to give to the actors and crew when the celebration banquet was held.

In other words, Mo Wen earned a total of ten small goals from the movie "The Gambler" alone. He earned two more small goals than Mo Wen's first movie "Crazy Stone".

"Sure enough, the entertainment industry is the fastest place to make money. From filming to the release of the movie, it took less than two months in total. An investment of tens of millions was able to earn back ten small goals of income. It's like this

With the investment ratio, it's no wonder that all the capitalists want to squeeze into the entertainment industry. It's too fast and too easy to make money." After Mo Wen calculated his profits, he thought to himself.

But Mo Wen forgot one thing, that is, not every movie can have such a high box office, and not every movie can make money.

Mo Wen, if he didn't have those film and television works in the entertainment industry on earth as his trump card, it would be a question whether he, an ordinary director who graduated from a third-rate art school, would be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, let alone make money.

Now that the gambling saint was sure to make money, Mo Wen had the idea of ​​holding a celebration party right away.

After all, after Gu Ling has found the actors for his fourth movie next month, he will continue to shoot the movie, so he might as well take advantage of the time in these few days to hold a celebration party for the Gambling Saint.

After all, this gambling sage not only helped Mo Wen earn ten small target profits, but also because of the participation of Yang Dami in this gambling sage, when the movie ticket price was originally set, Mo Wen based it on the highest price for 2D movies.

The ticket price is 40 yuan per movie ticket.

Now the box office of The Gambler has reached 2.5 billion, which means that at least 60 million viewers bought tickets and walked into the cinema to watch the movie The Gambler.

This also shows that "The Gambler" is also a blockbuster movie.
