You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 322 Do you dare to believe the 150 times income?

"This may be the best low-budget movie I've ever seen: the actors brought their own costumes and props, held a discussion in the cabin, and completed this movie in less than 90 minutes. It's not so much a science fiction movie, It is better to say that this is a discussion about the world we live in. There is hardly any plot in the script, but it covers astronomy, geography, history, biology, literature, art, religion and other elements, although it is all to the point and not lacking in frivolity Obscenity, but I have to admit that the screenwriter really managed to conquer the audience with the script..."

"...To tell you the truth, I originally watched it from a critical point of view, and I was even ready to tell everyone how rubbish this so-called low-cost sci-fi film would be... However, when When the movie actually started, I realized I was wrong, so wrong...it was a good movie!"

The next day, veteran film critic Stephen wrote "The Man From Earth" in his column.

But to his slight disappointment, he wasn't the only one writing film reviews.

"There is the mystery of "The Mummy", the sci-fi of "Star Wars", the amazing reversal of "The Sixth Sense", and of course the most important thing is that all of these are made at such a low cost as "The Blair Witch". It may not be the best movie of the year, but it is definitely the best movie of Warner this year..."

"It's a good script, but not a good movie, not even a movie, but so what, his total investment is less than 20 US dollars..."

"The whole story seems to be relaxed and gentle, with relaxing music, a warm fire, a gentle tone, and a little episode about love, but, for some reason, as soon as you pause, a sense of tension and constriction will immediately be involuntary Climb to your heart..."

. . . . . .

I have to say that it is not unreasonable for the film to sell so well in North America in the original time and space. Skepticism is very suitable for Lao Mei's appetite.

In addition, the release of the movie really requires some luck.

In the original time and space, "The Man From Earth" in 07 also relied mostly on the Internet to achieve such results.

But now, the Internet has not yet developed to that extent, so this film should be in a state of obscurity, and it may take a few months or even a few years before it becomes popular.

But it just happened to catch up with the gold rush brought about by "The Blair Witch", so it is difficult for such a high-quality film not to become popular.

With the infusion of large traffic, there are more and more film reviews for this film.

The score on IMDB is also rising steadily, from 7.2 at the beginning, it jumped to 9.0 in less than two weeks.

This score has far exceeded many excellent works, but as time goes by, this score will soon return to the original time and space of 8.4 points, and this is far higher than "The Blair Witch".

All kinds of film reviews like tap water continue to appear, which directly makes the film's disc sales all the way up.

The film entered the disc market in mid-July, about a week earlier than "The Blair Witch".

Now in mid-August, taking advantage of the trend of "The Witch", the current disc sales have directly exceeded 20 copies.

That is close to 300 million US dollars, if calculated at a cost of 20, that is 15 times.

15 times the income, which is far beyond the average income of Hollywood, so this also made "The Man From Earth" and Warner and Quentin quickly pushed to the front.

. . . . . .

Warner was also taken aback when they knew that "The Man From Earth" became popular.

After all, from the point of view of traditional film companies, this film will not be released on the big screen, and the cost is so low, even if it is directed by Quentin, not many people want to watch it.

But now it exploded, and the stock is about to run out!
What's the point of this?
But they don't have time to think about this issue. Making money is the most important thing. Of course, the announcement and so on have to be raised.

Originally, Warner was still keeping secret about the connection between this kind of film and Joey, but now their attitude has changed drastically, and they have turned around and vigorously promoted it.

One is to borrow the shareholder wind of "The Blair Witch".

Secondly, Joey's fan base is not small. In the past, he was afraid of being dragged down, but now he is eager for help from others.

"At that time, Joey insisted on shooting. Quentin was his good friend. Joey didn't know how to direct, so he found Quentin. The total investment was actually 30 yuan. It took 7 days to shoot, and only 20 yuan was spent after spending a lot of money. Unexpectedly, the sales volume has almost exceeded 1000 million, and the income is 50 times, Joey's vision is really good..."

Warner directly sold and boasted on its own media.

300 million is said to be 1000 million. Anyway, this kind of thing is in the disc market, and there is no real-time box office statistics, so Warner can still brag about it.

When Quentin was caught by the media in Los Angeles, he also started to blow passionately:

"Joey knew at a glance that this script would definitely explode! So he found me directly. As a good friend, of course I want to help him..."

Emerson, the screenwriter of the film, was also very grateful to Jiang Yan when he was interviewed:

"This script is my father's posthumous work. I have been looking for it in Hollywood for a long time, but I have hit a wall everywhere. All the directors think it is a bad script, only Joey, he is completely optimistic about this script..."

Kobe also blurted out in a state of bewilderment: "Wow, I knew Joey would succeed. His vision has always been good..."

After he got away from the reporter, he called Jiang Yan to ask Jiang Yan what kind of movie about the earth was, could it be a pornographic movie? . .

. . . . . .

As one of the top eight in Hollywood, if Warner wants to promote a movie, the effect it can achieve in a short period of time is very strong.

So as the stories of people from all walks of life were completed, a very inspirational "American Dream" story was woven.

Or rather, this is the truth.

In order to fulfill his father's last wish, the screenwriter's son bumped into walls everywhere. In despair, he ran into Chinese singer Joey, and staged a story about Maxima and Bole. Joey found a good friend Quentin, and used part of his future in the music industry as a The bet, Warner was moved, and then there was this "magic work".

With the blessing of such a story background, and with the support of ultra-low cost and ultra-high return record.

"The Man From Earth" is completely out of the circle.

Moreover, the quality of the film is guaranteed, and with the fan base of Joey and Quentin, the sales of the film are rising steadily.

Warner Bros. even found a 300 yuan big screen to show the show. Unexpectedly, the box office was not bad. On the first day, it had a box office of 80 yuan, and the attendance rate exceeded [-]%.

So needless to say, continue!
Others "The Blair Witch" can invest 2500 million for publicity, and we don't need that much, 500 million will do.

Soon, the number of big screens increased from 300 to 600.

Then on August 8, the total disc market and box office of "The Man From Earth" broke through 26 million.

With a wave of his hand, Warner gathered together and announced that the total sales exceeded 3000 million!
20 cost, 3000 sales, 150 times revenue!
So as soon as the news came out, with Warner's loud voice, "The Man From Earth" became famous again.

At the same time, Jiang Yan and Quentin once again stood in front of the North American media.

The difference from "The Blair Witch" is that the director, actors and behind-the-scenes people there are not well-known, but "The Man" is all celebrities.

Jiang Yan, Chinese ghost musician, Quentin, ghost director, screenwriter is also the screenwriter of "The Twilight Zone".

So this topic is obviously higher than "The Witch".

So Mercedes-Benz made a decisive decision and released the advertisement directly, and "freeloop" was born.

The same is true for Warner, "Kill Bill" started the first step of publicity plan.

It is foreseeable that it is unknown how much the company behind "The Blair Witch" can earn, but Warner, Mercedes-Benz, Jiang Yan, and Quentin will definitely be indirectly fed by this movie.

At the same time, the report that Jiang Yan's film earned 150 times the income also spread to the other side of the ocean.

As a result, the mainland and even the Asian film circle exploded. . .
