Chapter 1157 Monster Fever

"King Kong" continues to be popular in North America, and the box office is also very good.

After raking in $6600 million in the first weekend, the drop was less than 4% in 50 working days, and the daily box office was still around $[-] million. It can be said that it is already a pretty good result for a foreign film.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Lin Xiao already has a lot of fame in North America, coupled with the resources of the publisher Fang Dick Group, "King Kong" was once touted as the most exciting monster movie of the year.

And "King Kong" is indeed worthy of this title, and the box office is the best reflection.

Starting the next weekend, "Infinite Reincarnation 2" landed in North American theaters.

In fact, the Mina Group was not that optimistic about "Infinite Reincarnation 2", and the conditions were quite harsh at one time, but the box office of "Infinite Reincarnation" in China's first week still made the Mina Group want to take a gamble.

But the cost of publicity and distribution is far less than that of "King Kong".

No matter what, Nari Kensing can't compare to Lin Xiao, a famous director who has been succeeding all the time.

As a result, "Infinite Reincarnation 2" is still unacceptable in North America, and its first daily receipt is 820 million, which is already a very good result, but word of mouth is a mess.

Many people said that they couldn't understand it at all. "Infinite Reincarnation 2" had a box office drop on the second day in North America, and only received 600 million yuan!
This is obviously a big gap with the expectations of Tianmeng Film and Television.

On the third day, it continued to fall, and there were only less than 500 million left!
The box office of the first weekend combined for three days is not as good as the one-day box office of "King Kong", which is less than 2000 million US dollars.

This number is actually not bad, especially for Chinese-language movies, but the key point is that this box office trend has caused the North American box office of "Infinite Reincarnation 2" to be lowered again.

In the end, the total box office in North America may not exceed 5000 million!
And you must know that the North American publicity cost of "Infinite Reincarnation 2" exceeded 1000 million US dollars. Although this figure is really not high, it is already a movie with a cast like "Infinite Reincarnation 2". up.

The North American publicity budget of "King Kong" is as high as 2500 million US dollars!
There is no way, if you want a high box office, you must be willing to invest in publicity, otherwise, even Lin Xiao's movie will not be able to explode.

In contrast, "King Kong" and "Infinite Reincarnation 2" are not at the same level at all.

The performance of "King Kong" in Southeast Asia is also very good, and "Infinite Reincarnation 2" is also very good in Southeast Asia, after all, it is a pan-Chinese cultural circle.

However, compared to "King Kong", it is still a little bit worse, especially in island countries, where the box office of "King Kong" can be said to be the best of "Infinite Reincarnation 2".

In fact, the biggest problem with "Infinite Reincarnation 2" is not too Chinese, but Nari Kensing, who probably wants to make "Infinite Reincarnation 2" more international, and as a result, many things become somewhat nondescript.

Many viewers in China said that compared to the first part, it was really worse than 01:30.

But in any case, "Infinite Reincarnation 2" is indeed a success.

In particular, the box office record of the summer schedule can make Tianmeng Film and Television boast for a long time.

Soon, Tianmeng Films announced the restart of the "Mystery of the World" series of films, the second "Mystery of the World: The Holy Empire".

And the director is none other than Nari Kensing.

James Qin and Tianmeng Films originally had one film contract left, but in the end, the contract was terminated peacefully.

At the same time, with the release of the box office of "King Kong", many people in China were surprised to find that the special effects in China have been able to achieve this level.

In particular, Aurora Special Effects also directly announced that the special effects technology of "King Kong" is very mature, and the special effects production software specially customized for "King Kong" has also officially begun to be released.

For special effects companies, in fact, many special effects are not impossible to produce, but a matter of cost.

For example, in terms of Aurora special effects, the production of the special effects of "King Kong" is naturally very expensive, and it can even be said that it basically does not make money.

But is it really not making money?

In fact, it is negative, because the accumulation of technology itself is a huge profit, and the real money for this kind of thing is yet to come.

For example, several special effects production software developed for monster movies like "King Kong" are not one or two, but a complete set of special effects software solutions.

The key is that it is already very mature, and "King Kong" is its successful case.

Special effects are naturally the key to the development of new technologies, especially for super-big productions like "King Kong".

And developing this kind of technical software is naturally very costly. It can be said that the Aurora special effects are supported by Lin Xiao's one movie after another.

And now if other companies want to place orders for Aurora Special Effects, Aurora Special Effects is simply too busy.

Why?Because it requires too much manpower.

As for Aurora special effects, their own orders have already been scheduled for a year later, let alone special effects orders from other companies.

While other film companies want to produce this kind of special effects, currently only Aurora Special Effects can do it in China. They can find foreign special effects companies to produce them, but the price is sky-high.

In fact, where is the biggest cost of special effects?
Is it technology?No, but manpower and material resources.

Usually some special effects shots need to be rendered by the rendering farm for a long time before they can be completed.

The computers in the rendering farm of the special effects company are not low-configuration computers, but each computer is a high-end computer.

Secondly, these computer hardware needs to be updated every once in a while.

This is the reason why many special effects companies have no way to persist.

Domestic labor is still much cheaper than that of foreign countries.

Another one is the development of new special effects technology. It usually doesn’t mean that special effects companies take the initiative to develop special effects, such as Aurora special effects. Most of the time, it’s because Lin Xiao has some requirements, and then they follow Lin Xiao’s requirements. Develop software to achieve this effect.

Finally, a mature technology is formed, and then the special effects production software can be sold to the outside world.

That is to sell technology.

Therefore, for Aurora Special Effects, the most profitable thing now is not the production of special effects for movies, but selling software!
Don't underestimate this kind of selling software. Generally speaking, a kind of special effects software such as natural disasters does not mean one or two special effects software, but a set of technical solutions.

And the selling price of these software is not low at all.

A set of solution software can sell hundreds of millions for a period of one year.

What?Feel less?No, not at all, this is just a special effect software, a movie, it is impossible to use only these special effects, right?

Then other special effects also have solution software. At the same time, Aurora special effects are not sold by one or two companies but by many companies.

The sale of these software alone in a year can create tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of profits for Aurora Special Effects, and these are pure profits!
