The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 132 Unknown future, interesting future

"It's too profitable, it's really too profitable!" Father Shen's tone was full of sighs.

They all have no doubt that the final box office of "Charlotte Annoyance" can exceed one billion.

This means that just the domestic box office revenue can make Dunhuang a lot of money!

Outsiders may not know it, but don’t they know it? The production cost of this movie plus the publicity cost is more than 4000 million. In terms of domestic box office alone, Dunhuang has at least [-] million in revenue.

——This is just an estimate based on the fact that the domestic box office is just over one billion. Obviously, the final figure is definitely more than this.

What about overseas box office receipts?
Although this is a very localized comedy, if you leave the domestic social atmosphere, many jokes will be greatly ineffective-this is the basically unavoidable limitation of comedy movies, and it can be expected that the overseas box office is much lower than the domestic box office.

But no matter how low it is, it is pure profit!

What's more, the domestic film market is already quite complete, and the way a movie makes money doesn't depend too much on the box office. Except for the box office, the profits of movie peripheral products are higher than the box office revenue.

Calculated by counting, the net profit brought to Dunhuang by a movie is more than the annual net profit of the two of them selling toys and clothing!
"It's not just about blowing up the family's company? To put it bluntly, more than half of the listed companies can't match the annual profit of such a movie!" Ms. Wang took the topic and said, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have attracted so much money." What a jealous attack."

"It's a mediocrity not to attract envy!" Ms. Jiang denounced with clenched fists.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's righteous indignation, Father Shen smiled helplessly: "The main thing is, who would have thought that it would be such a low-budget comedy, such a previously unknown director, such a young Overrated screenwriter, well, now add such a scene-stealing 'Charlotte'..."

The last joke made everyone laugh.

Only Wang Wei lay lazily on the sofa, continuing to be distracted.

Indeed, if it is a big production or a big director who sets a new record for a single film box office explosion, the media will definitely be full of praise.

When it was "Charlotte Annoyance", the first reaction of many people was, "Where does it match", and then the criticism came.

Old man Xia's response on TV was very satisfying.

As for his other predictions, it is a matter of opinion——

"The commercial success brought by "Charlotte" will definitely stimulate a new round of hot money to flow into the film market, and the film market is about to boil." Shen's father agrees most with this point.

"That's right, seeing such huge profits, if I didn't have no spare money, I would have wanted to invest in the film industry." Ms. Wang glanced at Er Zai who was distracted, shook her head and said to the others: "I don't know what I'm thinking I don't know how this idiot can steal money like this."

"It's only you, an unscrupulous mother, who thinks he is stupid." Ms. Jiang rolled her best friend's eyes, and subconsciously lowered her voice, "Maybe he was thinking of making more money in his head that day. Girlfriend , are you right?"

Shen Zhenyi, who was named again, looked at Wang Wei's wandering appearance, giggled and said, "Maybe, he was robbed of words by Xia Luo's weird reply, and he is feeling sorry for each other."

"puff……"

Everyone laughed, unanimously feeling that Xiaozhen's conjecture was more in line with this guy's piss than thinking about making money.

……

Feel like being dissed!
Wang Wei was not so distracted that he turned a deaf ear.

Well, sympathy is not counted, but old man Xia's "stealing the show" did arouse his infinite emotion and contemplation.

With the current momentum of "Charlotte", Wang Wei can be sure that it is a leverage to break one billion. This reminds him of another comedy that made domestic movies wave goodbye to the "old era" that a single film could not break one billion. The film - "Lost in Thailand".

They are all opportunities of the times created by various factors, and they are all comedy movies, all of which were criticized as "vulgar, vulgar, and even unfair" after they became popular...

Although the film markets of the two time and space are completely different—aside from the movie ticket price and exchange rate, we only discuss the number of moviegoers that the market can accommodate. several times as large.

The most basic point is that in the current time and space, one schedule can accommodate two or more movies colliding, and the box office will not be too bad.

Even so, the box office of a single film worth one billion yuan has almost the same significance in terms of psychological impact.

Therefore, what Old Man Xia said is that the film market will enter a "new era". Referring to another time and space, Wang Wei can only say "Ginger is still hot when old".

However, it is difficult for Wang Wei to continue to refer to the memory of the new era, what kind of new era it is.

Again, the two time and space are completely different film market environments——

In Wang Wei's view, the domestic film market in that world was deformed.The foundation has not yet been laid. After "Lost in Thailand", the influx of hot money drove the overall expansion of the industry, and then became even more deformed.

The most obvious example is that after the influx of hot money, traffic has become the only pass. From employers, producers to big directors, everyone can't help but bow to the traffic. To become stronger, instead of mud and sand, it is deformed to the extreme!

The current domestic film market, after all, the film industry is more developed——

The top five are the top five, focusing on blockbuster films with large investment and high box office and mainstream films with medium investment scale and medium return;

The middle level is the second-tier companies such as Dunhuang and Dongfang Films, which mainly focus on mainstream films with medium investment scale and below, medium return and below...

They are scattered throughout the year, and the overall output presents an ideal spindle-shaped structure.

Of course, it is another matter for Dunhuang's films with less than medium investment to get blockbuster-level high box office.

In the new movie era, more and more hot money is entering the game, what will the future be like?
Charlotte's prediction is - "a hundred flowers bloom"!
Wang Wei cannot say that there is no such possibility, but he may be too optimistic.

It is true that under the producer-centered system that guarantees the lower limit of film quality and the lower limit of income, the industry should not be like China Entertainment in the past, ignoring the normal rules of film creation and developing abnormally.

However, Hollywood, where the film industry is also developed in the past, did not flourish in the end. Instead, it hijacked the entire industry and pushed IP adaptation to an unprecedented heavy dependence. Behind the so-called "new era" is the exhaustion and suffocation of creativity.

Just look at Dunhuang to know——

On the one hand, it is a breaker and a pioneer who brought Chinese-language films into the era of a single billion;
On the other hand, it has started to reserve and adapt superhero IP, and the percentage of original output will inevitably decrease year by year...

So, let Wang Wei say——

This is the unknown future!
This is the future of fun too!

It is precisely because of the unknown that it is more interesting!
