Who are you calling powerful?

In late March, after more than a month of release, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" has reached 2.18 billion yuan.

The film has successfully obtained the extension key, and it is expected to be released in mid-to-late April. If there is still box office revenue by then, it will be postponed.

What makes Wei Yang somewhat regretful is that according to the current box office trend of "Detective Chinatown".

The box office has exceeded 2.3 billion and is within reach.

2.4 billion is not without hope.

But if you want to hit 2.5 billion, the difficulty is relatively high. You need enough luck and you also need to watch the movie schedule in April.

Many people still have high expectations, but Wei Yang has basically given up.

Because there will be Hollywood movies released in April, including the famous "Fast and Furious 7".

Wei Yang has an impression of this movie. It seems to be one of the highest-grossing movies in the "Fast and Furious" series in the mainland.

It happened to coincide with the death of one of the creators, Paul Walker, in a car accident. This film happened to be his last work, so it has a certain halo bonus.

Wei Yang doesn't remember the specific box office. He doesn't pay much attention to foreign movie data, but it should have exceeded 2 billion, and it was the first movie in the mainland film market to exceed 2 billion in box office.

Because of this, one of the promotional focuses of "Monster Hunt", which also exceeded the 2 billion mark in the summer release, was to return the film history champion to a domestic film, and it finally got its wish. The final gap seemed to be very small.

At this time in his last life, Wei Yang was already considered an insider in the industry, and he remembered it clearly.

Perhaps for this reason, the performance of "Monster Hunt" was once suspected to be disgraceful, and there were also many news about fake box office or data injection.

At that time, Wei Yang didn't have many connections in the industry, didn't know the inside story, and didn't pay much attention to the matter.

But Wei Yang is different now. After two lifetimes combined, especially now that he is an industry giant, he is very clear about the twists and turns in the industry.

He is not sure whether the box office of "Monster Hunt" was fraudulent because there is no substantial evidence, but in his opinion, the suspicion is indeed high.

The film history champion is not important, but it is important whether the film history champion is a domestic film.

"Titanic" and "Avatar" have suppressed domestic films for many years, and I don't know how many films and film studios want to break their records.

"Titanic" completed this task under the impact of successive waves.

As for "Avatar", it was not until the release of "Detective Chinatown" that a Chinese-language film achieved overtake for the first time.

Yes, Wei Yang originally thought that "Avatar" was in the past. When "Detective Chinatown" began to compete for the film history championship, he suddenly realized that this movie was still blocking all Chinese-language movies.

In 2012, "囧" turned out. Because of Wei Yang's attention, the box office will exceed 1.3 billion, but it will not exceed Avatar's 1.34 billion.

In 2013, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" performed well at the box office and became the second Chinese-language film to reach over 1 billion, but it still did not break this record.

In 2014, the box office revenue of "Butterfly Lovers" and "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" both exceeded 1 billion, but there was still a gap with "Avatar".

It wasn't until the beginning of this year that "Detective Chinatown" emerged with unstoppable popularity that this embarrassing record was truly swept into the trash.

At that time, this topic was widely reported by the media, but was quickly ignored. Instead, it was associated with "Detective Chinatown" and "Transformers 4", which had a box office of nearly 2 billion, and it was the number one movie in history at that time.

Wei Yang doesn't want to take all the credit. He deserves most of the credit for the popularity of "Detective Chinatown", but it cannot do without the push and pull from many aspects.

This is undeniable!

As the domestic economy continues to rise and national self-confidence continues to increase, some lists become more eye-catching.

Whether it is relevant units, industry insiders, or even the people, they all want to watch Chinese-language movies.

In the previous life, "Monster Hunt" borrowed this momentum, and in this life, "Detective Chinatown" took the lead and became a [public opinion representative].

But what makes Wei Yang straighten his back is that although he has taken some advantages, it is all a local protection policy, and Hollywood is no exception.

Moreover, "Detective Chinatown" does not have the so-called "close victory" like "Monster Hunt". The margin of victory is huge, and the data are all real.

Precisely because of this advantage, Wei Yang also knows the pressure. If he disappoints the outside world, the consequences will be very serious. In desperation, it is normal to take some measures.

What's more, "Monster Hunt" is produced by Huayi, and Boss Wei has never overestimated the integrity of the Wang brothers.

But regardless of whether Huayi cheated in his previous life, the future of "Fast and Furious 7" is here.

With such a movie released, how can "Detective Chinatown", which has reached the end of its release, create miracles.

Wei Yang does not have high expectations, but he is considering whether "Detective Chinatown" will cause a certain butterfly effect.

He hasn’t had enough of being the champion in film history!

Not to mention the hidden benefits that this title can bring to the company and himself, but this takes time to ferment. If someone overtakes him in a short period of time, the effect will be greatly reduced.

So Wei Yang has been analyzing the two major opponents of "Fast and Furious 7" and "Monster Hunt" recently.

Things in the world are not static. After many years of rebirth, Wei Yang has long been accustomed to the changes brought about by the butterfly effect.

Apart from other things, these Spring Festival movies alone had good box-office numbers in the past, but now there are some small joys and some worries.

If the box office of these movies can change, so can the two movies "Monster Hunt" and "Fast and Furious 7."

The first is "Fast and Furious 7", which is confirmed to be released on April 12.

There was nearly two months between "Last Life" and the Spring Festival release, and the aftermath of the Spring Festival release was almost calm, so there was a lot of chaos after the release, but the situation is different now.

Even though the box office data of movies such as "Macau 2" has dropped in this life compared with the previous life, these box office numbers are not enough to support the more than 2 billion box office of "Detective Chinatown".

In other words, due to the sudden release of "Detective Chinatown", the total box office data for the Spring Festival in this time and space is much higher than that of the previous life.

To put it more bluntly, the popularity of the Spring Festival movie has left many movie fans’ wallets “empty”.

As mentioned before, ordinary viewers have a budget for watching movies, and may only watch it a few times a year. After watching a movie during the Spring Festival, they may not watch other movies again, especially in a short period of time.

Therefore, the popularity of the Spring Festival release will definitely have an impact on the box office of "Fast and Furious 7".

Even if the impact is not fatal or even damaging, as long as there is a fluctuation of 100 or 200 million, it is very likely that it will not be able to pose a threat to "Detective Chinatown"'s position as the film history champion.

In this regard, Wei Yang will probably help when the time comes.

If there is no competition at the same time, it is actually some bad rules and somewhat unethical to so inexplicably plot against peers, but the premise is that domestic peers, the Hollywood gang came to China to steal food, Wei Yang fucked them without any guilt.

Others may have other concerns, such as offending Hollywood, which will affect many cooperations and the European and American markets.

However, Wei Yang, who is aware of the development of later generations, clearly understands what the future trend will be. As long as he has no plans to vigorously expand overseas in the past ten years.

In this case, why do you care about the other party's perception? Besides, Hollywood is not monolithic. If you offend this company, just find another company to cooperate.

And as long as the box office of "Fast and Furious 7" is affected and cannot overtake "Detective Chinatown", then "Monster Hunt" will not become a [public opinion representative].

If you make Hollywood movies and strive for Chinese-language movies, all parties will support you.

But if there is infighting in Chinese-language movies, then it depends on your own abilities.

Wei Yang believes that without this important publicity point, the threat of "Monster Hunt" to "Detective Chinatown" will plummet.

If "Monster Hunt" still resorts to water-filled data and fake box office, Boss Wei won't be easy to mess with.

This kind of routine also means bullying people who live outside the city, and they don't care about the "No. 1 in Chinese Film and Television" brand, so they don't express it.

But Wei Yang is different. If Huayi dares to play tricks, Boss Wei will show his face to him.

This is not a battle of wills!

But whose movie is the number one in film history, it will be of great help to the company. Huayi wants to maintain its leading position, and Blue Whale wants to seize the class and seize power. They all need this brand.

Boss Wei is dedicated to overthrowing Huayi and making Blue Whale the industry leader. "Detective Chinatown" finally won honors for the company. Wei Yang will never let others destroy it easily.

Therefore, Wei Yang not only prevented Hollywood and Huayi from causing trouble for him, but also hyped up the achievements of "Detective Chinatown", which in turn verified the success of Blue Whale.

In the past, Blue Whale was most famous for its TV series and variety shows, but its movies were weak, so much so that some people joked that it was walking lamely.

This time "Detective Chinatown" won the championship in Chinese film history. Previously, Blue Whale also participated in the 1 billion+ movies "Thailand" and "Beautiful Heart".

Among the top five Chinese-language films at the box office, two are produced by Blue Whale and one is co-produced by Blue Whale.

lame?

Show me how lame you are! ?

In the past, Wei Yang's confidence was somewhat lacking, because even though Blue Whale was heavily involved in "囧囧" and "心花路情", they were both half-way projects.

But "Detective Chinatown" is a direct line within the direct line.

From script to project establishment, shooting, post-production, and publicity were all handled by Blue Whale, and Wei Yang personally starred in and supervised the production. Such a film has become the first in film history, which can definitely prove Blue Whale's achievements in film.

…

Magic City, Shangri-La Hotel

Wei Yang, Shanghai Film Director Ren, Blue Whale CEO Xia Cong, as well as two other investor representatives, producer and director Peng Damo Yan Fei and Gao Yuanyuan, Wang Baoqiang, smashed the ice sculpture symbolizing 2.222 billion.

Although this number is a bit "two", no one would make fun of it. Many people even saw this number and their eyes turned red with envy.

How much money does the guy named Wei make this time?

Based on the producer's 38% share ratio, the crew of "Detective Chinatown" can now share nearly 850 million from these box office sales.

No one knows how much of the share Blue Whale accounts for, but it is definitely the majority. If you click on the cost tax and share, Boss Wei can easily make hundreds of millions.

And this is only the box office revenue of theaters, and various copyright revenue may not be low.

Let’s just talk about the copyright of video websites. With the vigorous development of websites in the past two years, the copyright of TV series has been rising steadily, and the copyright of movies has also been continuously improved.

There are different ways to sell copyrights on movie websites, and there are many ways to do it. The specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail.

Some negotiate contracts based on the cost of the film, some look at the profit prospects, and some consider the market. They also have their own opinions on whether the film is released or not, and whether it is a domestic or overseas film.

Theater chains generally look at the market, and there are two main ways of cooperation. One is to conduct box office valuation before the release, and the other is to look at the actual box office performance after the release.

The price distinction is similar. For movies with a box office of more than 1 billion or high attention, the copyright price is no less than 30 million.

If the box office is over 100 million but less than 1 billion, the copyright price ranges from 5 million to 25 million. If the box office is more than 50 million, the box office price is 2 million to 10 million, depending on the specific situation.

It sounds a bit like gambling on stones. Movies are like stones, and the release is the cutting machine. It depends on whether the buyer and seller choose to cut before and after.

Most movies must be selected before release.

After all, movies are as unpredictable as betting on stones, and no one dares to bet that the box office will be a hit. This method is undoubtedly a way for the website to take advantage of the situation and accept it as soon as it is good.

Of course, if the box office performance is strong, that is, if the price rises and the website takes advantage, then you must be willing to admit defeat.

For this reason, there are often some stubborn film producers who feel that a certain movie has good prospects and insist on negotiating after its release. As a result, the box office performance fails, the stone cracks and flowers bloom, and the copyright price is also haggled in various ways.

So this can be regarded as a kind of game. The person in charge of the movie copyright acquisition of many websites has a more vicious vision than the person in charge of buying TV series.

"Detective Chinatown" was one of the few die-hards, and the copyright had been suppressed and not sold. At that time, some people felt it was a pity, while others were watching the fun.

As it turned out, Boss Wei was still the better one, and he won the bet again.

If the copyright is sold before the release, according to estimates from various websites, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" will be around 1 billion. The price offered by each company is 30 to 35 million, and the highest price is less than 40 million.

As a result, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" now exceeds 2 billion!

The box office has doubled, but the copyright price is not as simple as doubling. Film and television are number one, and Miaomiao is the only one in the 2 billion box office club. Don't even ask if you don't have 80 million.

If a website wants exclusive copyright, it is not impossible to negotiate for more than 100 million yuan. As long as there is traffic and gimmicks, the website is willing to spend money.

If the copyright of the website is really sold for 100 million, and Boss Wei easily earns tens of millions more, this amount of money will be crazy.

But what's even more crazy is that someone soon discovered Hua Dian.

Theoretically, Wei Yang can sell "Detective Chinatown" to PPTV.

In this way, he will make a fortune from the movie revenue, get the copyright for the website, run various operations, increase the market value of advertising traffic, etc. and make another fortune.

Darling, now everyone is no longer jealous, they are simply angry. You can still play like this. It's so disrespectful of martial ethics.

Wei Yang had no idea what everyone was thinking, otherwise he would have told them that not only what they discussed earlier, but as the screenwriter, producer, and star of the movie, he himself also received an extremely generous salary and dividends. This was another huge sum. money.

At least four or five people can eat one fish!
