During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 38 Box Office and Celebration Party
  As of December 12, "Those Years" has been in theaters for 23 days, with a cumulative box office of more than 20 million.

It can be seen that the potential of the movie has been basically exhausted. Since the release of "A World Without Thieves", the daily box office has only been two to three million. However, thanks to the broadcast of "Happy Camp" on the evening of Saturday 11th, on Sunday 12th The box office bucked the trend and closed at 680 million, but Wei Jin knew that was the end of it.

"Kung Fu" grossed 1400 million at the box office on its first day of release, shocking the industry, and Zhou Xingxing was once praised to the sky.

The box office of "Those Years" fell below 100 million on that day. There are still about ten days until the release date. It is estimated that the final box office will be just over 1 million.

"A World Without Thieves" is even worse. It was released for 2 weeks, with a box office of 4300 million in the first week, and a cumulative box office of 7200 million. It is estimated that it will be difficult to break million.

Feng Dapao was also unlucky. He thought he could be evenly matched with Zhou Xingxing, but he didn't expect Wei Jin to defeat him.

Huayi Brothers also regretted that they let a college student director suppress them. If they had known better, they would have made some extra moves.

An invitation was also sent to Wei Jin for the premiere of "Kung Fu". Wei Jin excused himself and asked Chen Zhiming to go on his behalf.

Wei Jin really has something going on, and someone from Wanwan wants to release the movie "Those Years".

In fact, Wei Jin's novel of the same name was already on the Wanwan market in October, and the sales volume is not bad, including the popularity of the song in Wanwan.

Therefore, when the movie is released, Wanwan intends to introduce it. Wei Jin thinks it is better to leave it to Mr. Han of China Film and Television to discuss this matter. He makes an appointment to come to China Film and Television together with Mr. Liu, the head of the Wanwan distribution company. .

After finishing the matter, Wei Jin began to chat with Han Sanping.

Han Sanping was very satisfied with this cooperation. It was originally a casual game, but he didn't know it would bring him such a big surprise.

"It's a pity this time. The release was rushed. If the schedule was better arranged, we might as well get a glimpse of the champion."

Mr. Han said with regret:
  "I'm quite satisfied. This box office performance has given me greater confidence in the domestic film market."

Wei Jin looked relaxed. After all, his first commercial film exceeded 100 million yuan, and he is currently the second person in the country.

"Actually, I didn't plan to make a commercial film in the first place. The profit is too low. By the way, Mr. Han, you have to give me a cheaper distribution fee this time."

"You kid, okay, for the sake of the box office exceeding 7 million, I'll tell Xuanfa that from now on your movies will be distributed at points."

Mr. Han is not angry either. After all, the two movies produced by Wei and Jin this year have made China Film a lot of money.

"By the way, let's have a celebration party after the movie is released. You should also walk around the circle more. It's not good for you to be like this."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. This is my temperament. When my strength is up, they will naturally accommodate me."

Perhaps because he had too many social activities as an account manager in his previous life, Wei Jin was already a little tired. He really didn't want to talk about certain situations, so he simply didn't attend events. Therefore, the industry considered him to be a bit arrogant and unreasonable.

"Do you have any projects recently? Don't forget China Film."

Han Sanping regarded Wei Jin as a cash cow and wished he could turn into a film-making machine.

"Mr. Han, capitalists are not as cruel as you. The movie hasn't been released yet. Let me take a rest."

Wei Jin was not used to him and complained:
  The two chatted for a while, and after Wei Jin had enough tea, he said goodbye and left.

The time soon came to 2005. During this period, Zeng Li had been experiencing life in the countryside. According to her, she would not come back until the next year, and she would join the group "Latent" soon after she came back.

There is also news from Teacher Jiang that the crew is going very smoothly and is now looking for actors. If everything goes well, filming will start after the year.

Wei Jin had no intention of intervening in the selection of actors. This drama was not very popular, it was mainly about winning awards.

After the road show ended, Wei Jin moved to 501, and now this house has become his best retreat after insomnia.

In the past few days, there has also been news from Sugar Man that "Sword of Fairy" has been confirmed to premiere in Taiwan on January 1. We will negotiate with mainland TV stations based on the results of the premiere in Taiwan. There was no way, because it was the first TV series adapted from a game in China, and the major TV stations were not sure of the market, so the price was very low, which could not cover the cost at all. It happened that the investor was Wanwan Company, so they went to Wanwan to test the waters first. After all, it was also thousands of Thousand-level market.

The New Year's Day holiday is over, and the movie "Those Years" has finally been released, with a cumulative box office of 1.18 million. After a few days of holiday, it has picked up, which is an unexpected surprise.

The celebration banquet is scheduled for January 1th, and this time Wei Jin Feng Liu Studio is in charge.

Wei Jin asked Chen Zhiming to prepare digital ice sculptures in advance. This kind of celebration method was the first in China.

On the evening of the 5th, representatives from all the major film and television companies basically arrived, and the hotel venue became a Vanity Fair.

It seemed like artists from all over the capital were here, including Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, and Chen Kun.
  Famous people and unknown people came to say hello to Wei Jin one by one. Unfortunately, he couldn't remember them at all and his face twitched with laughter.

But this does not affect everyone's enthusiasm at all. There is no way. He is the second major director in China with a box office of over 100 million. His literary and artistic films include Berlin Silver Bear, and his commercial films have a box office of over 100 million. Isn't this better than Feng Dapao?
  As the host came on stage, Wei Jin and the main creators also came to the stage to express their gratitude to the guests present and to the main creative staff of the movie. After a meal, the staff pushed the ice sculptures on the trolley. , the atmosphere of the entire venue reached a climax.

Several actors are also very excited. After all, the movie box office has exceeded 100 million. How many movies are there in China?

Wei Jin greeted everyone, picked up a small hammer, and smashed it on the ice sculpture together. A string of numbers 118000000 was instantly smashed, which meant a breakthrough in the movie box office.

It was the first time for everyone in the audience to see such a way of celebrating, and they felt it was very novel. The reporters present also took pictures.

The ice sculpture was smashed and the banquet officially started. President Han of China Film and Television Group Co., Ltd. also came here today. Also present were Wang Changtian from Optical Fiber and Yu Dong from Bernard. Wei Jin was not very familiar with these two and could only be said to be acquaintances. This invitation is also very face-saving.

Of course, most of them are here to seek cooperation. The main business of these two companies is film and television production, and they are also engaged in publicity and distribution business.

At the main table of the dinner, Wang Changtian chatted with Wei Jin eagerly, and Yu Dong was not to be outdone.

"Director Wei, you have become famous in one battle. If you have any projects in the future, you can definitely consider fiber optics and distribution."

Wang Changtian felt a little emotional. The young man in front of him was no longer the young boy who just got the Silver Bear.

"Mr. Wang is overly praised. This is just a small fuss, not worth mentioning. I still have to rely on the efforts of my big brothers."

Wei Jin also said sincerely:

Wang Changtian curled his lips when he heard this, why do you call this a petty fight? With an investment of 1.2 million, the maximum amount including publicity and distribution is no more than million, and the box office is nearly million. This wave of Wei, Jin and China Film have made a lot of money.

The current domestic box office share calculation method is this. First, a 5% special fund and a 3.3% business tax are deducted, which means that the box office is 1.18 million, and the divisible box office is only 1.08 million.

This part of the box office is then split with the theaters. The current split ratio is 43-57. The film producer can get 4644 million. After deducting the publicity cost of 7 million and the 3389% distribution fee, the producer can get 1017 million. , China Film can be divided into million.

China Film invested RMB 1340 million, plus distribution fees, the total return exceeded RMB million, with an astonishing profit margin.

For Wei and Jin, only 700 million of the 400 million investment was actually spent. In less than four months, the return was 2372 million, which is indeed impressive.

But the base is too small to support it. The average monthly income is less than 600 million, which is not as much as the money from a ringtone. In Wei Jin's view, it is just a small effort.

"Mr. Wei is too humble. Didn't you look at Mr. Han? He was smiling from ear to ear. Lao Wang and I were so envious."

Bernard Yudong also praised:
  "If you have the chance, Mr. Wei, please don't forget me with someone, haha"
