How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 851: Six out of Ten, One Missed [Hello, Li Huanying]

a week.

In the end, "Send You a Little Red Flower" earned a half-price box office of 7.16 million yuan on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform, which is approximately equal to the 14.32 billion yuan box office of traditional physical theaters.

"Warm Hugs" only earned 4.32 million yuan in half-price box office on Changgong Film and Television's VR viewing helmet platform, which is approximately equal to the 8.64 million yuan box office of traditional physical theaters.

This time, the confrontation between the two films ended with sadness defeating comedy for the first time.

Then two weeks later, on January 1th.

It is generally in the mainland style, but its core is the animated film "Wish Dragon" that imitates Aladdin's magic lamp, which has been launched on Changgong Film and Television's VR viewing helmet platform and traditional physical theaters in the mainland.

The core selling point of this movie is the animation scenes that are completely mainland-style, as well as the voice-over of Chenglong.

Yes.

The voice actor for this movie "Wish Dragon" is Chenglong.

Although the current Chenglong has a higher status in the film industry than the Chenglong in the original time and space, with the help of Zhang Nan, he successfully transformed from an action comedian to an ordinary actor who can play the role of a person with deep hatred and vengeance.

Of course.

This ordinary actor must have a lot of ordinary actors who have played action scenes, after all, the action label on Chenglong is too deep.

But compared to the action-comedy scenes in Chenglong Cinemas, each one is almost life-threatening.

It’s just that ordinary action scenes are a lot easier for Chenglong.

However, although the transformation was successful, Liam Neeson, who was also successful in the original time and space, had just such an income in the later period, so his income would naturally not be too high.

And there is also a 70% commission on Zhang Nan’s salary.

Therefore, although the current Chenglong is different from the Chenglong of the original time and space in terms of status, its income may be even less.

And his son is so disappointing, so Chenglong can be said to have been working like crazy in the past few years.

However, the box office performance of "Wish Dragon" is quite average.

In the early stage, the film only took in half-price box office of RMB 5.34 million on Changgong Film and Television's VR viewing helmet platform, which is approximately equal to RMB 1.68 million in traditional physical theater box office.

In the traditional physical theater distribution channels, "Wish Dragon" only took in more than 30 million RMB at the box office.

It can be said that the box office performance of "Wish Dragon" was average, which directly blocked Chenglong's qualification to star in dubbing movies.

It is likely that in the future, Chenglong can only dub supporting roles in some animated films.

After all, there are only two options for dubbing the protagonist of an animated film. One is a highly skilled professional dubbing artist, and the other is a celebrity artist who can bring huge attention and box office to the animated film.

Obviously, Dragon Age: Independence Day has only completed the first half in giving the animated film huge attention and box office, and the second half is the most important.

Then, a week later, as the popularity and momentum of "Wish Dragon" declined, its box office potential was almost exhausted.

Another movie filled the gap in time and became the last film of the Lunar New Year holiday, because the next week would be the Spring Festival holiday.

The name of this movie is - [Big Red Envelope].

The subject matter is very close to the life of modern urban white-collar workers in mainland China - giving gifts, but the content is described in an exaggerated way.

The leading actor of this movie is the bald Bao Bei'er, but Bao Bei'er has hair in the movie, and most of the characters played by Bao Bei'er have hair.

So this creates a problem.

Since the characters you play, Bao Beier, all have hair, why did you shave your head? Do you force yourself to be a natural wig in the movie?
Of course, there is an answer to this question. That is, Bao Beier is the same as Xu Zheng - he has inherited hair loss from his ancestors and is a specialist in traditional Chinese medicine, which is good for the wig industry.

It can be said that the quality of the movie "Big Red Envelope" is still acceptable.

Even the plot setting, although a bit exaggerated and outrageous, is logically coherent.

Moreover, the plot in the movie where a man spends money to hire a fake girlfriend who is a super box office hit, and finally makes the fake girlfriend come true, is also very exciting.

But it's not like the fun part in "Love Call Transfer" where you keep using settings to change different girlfriends. Although it's fun, it's too abrupt and seems a bit fake.

It can be said that [Big Red Envelope] has the potential to become a huge hit.

It’s a pity that there is indeed a big gap between Bao Bei’er’s acting skills and those of comedy superstars.

This can be seen from the fact that Hao Jian can fully grasp the exaggerated "The Richest Man in Xihong City", while Bao Bei'er can't even handle the more reasonable script of "Big Red Envelope".

Therefore, this "Big Red Envelope" only earned a half-price box office of 1.175 million RMB on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform before the Spring Festival, which is approximately equal to the 2.35 million RMB box office of traditional physical theaters.

It can be predicted that the movie "Big Red Envelope" will nominally be settled with a slight loss.

Because the production cost of "Big Red Envelope" is 1.2 million yuan.

Even if according to the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform, the producer can get 1.01% of the box office revenue, this wave of "big red envelopes" can only get a profit of million yuan on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform.

But in fact, the [Big Red Packet] project is definitely a small profit.

Because the leading actor Bao Bei'er, as well as the other leading actors and directors of "Big Red Envelope" are all relatively ordinary, and it is a modern urban theme, it is impossible for the film to cost 1.2 million RMB.

Let's just put it that way.

A week later, the annual box office runner-up, the period drama-style "Hello, Li Huanying", was released during the Spring Festival. The total investment was only 50 million yuan, which is not even half of the investment amount of "Big Red Envelope".

……

2 month 10 day.

Zhang Nan took leave from the "Avatar 2" crew and returned to the mainland. After all, New Year's Eve was just one day away.

No matter what Zhang Nan says, he has to enjoy the feeling of having a wife, wife, wife... children, children, children... and a warm bed.

However, in Zhang Nan’s current position, he is often not busy on weekdays, but has no time to spare on holidays.

“Director Zhang, for this Spring Festival, a total of ten films have submitted applications for cooperation on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform. Among them, we think that the ones with greater box office potential are [Assassination of Novelist], [The Order of the Samurai God], [Detective Chinatown 3], [Raging Fire], and the animated films [Boonie Bears: Wild Continent] and [New Gods: Nezha Reborn].” The person in charge of the Spring Festival schedule of the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform named six movies in one breath and expressed optimism.

Zhang Nan: "..."

You can't say this person is wrong.

Because most of the best performing movies during this Spring Festival are included in this list.

but……

There are only ten movies in total, and you like six of them at once.

Even from a purely mathematical point of view, that's a 60 percent accuracy rate!
And even so, it still missed the Spring Festival box office champion and the annual box office runner-up "Hello, Li Huanying".

All I can say is that no one is optimistic about Jia Lin right now.
