Big names rise

Because of years of "elimination of feudal remnants" campaigns in the Mainland, people have less and less contact with mysterious things like demons and ghosts. On the contrary, Hong Kong and Taiwan regions have more beliefs in this set, and "Zi Bu Yu" is about this type It is very different from the typical Hong Kong film genre, and it is a subject that Hong Kong audiences love to see. Coupled with its excellent quality and the sensation it caused in the mainland and Japan, it can detonate the Hong Kong box office. Reasonable.

Although He Mu is not confident that "Zi Bu Yu" can win "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Tangshan Earthquake" in the mainland market, he is still very confident in the Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japanese markets. As for Europe and North America, "Let the Bullets Fly" It was rumored that the script of "Bullets Fly" was selected by a Hollywood film company, and it is expected to hire Jiang Wen to direct the American version. I don't know if it will help its North American box office, and Jiang Wen has always been a frequent visitor to European film festivals. In terms of European popularity, it is far from He Mu can compare, so He Mu is not so confident in this market.

As for the North American release of "Zi Bu Yu", Sony is not in a hurry, and the European release has not found a way.

What kind of achievements will "Zibuyu" have in Japan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia?

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Shuimu Forest’s summary of the company’s performance last year has been basically completed. He Mu spends most of his time in meetings these days. Fortunately, Chen Li has shared a lot for him, otherwise the filming of "Da Ka" would have been difficult into a problem.

Soon the company will have a big holiday, and wait until the Chinese New Year.Except for the employees who are responsible for the publicity and distribution of "Zi Bu Yu" and "Love to the End", everyone else can have a happy Chinese New Year.

In 2010, Shuimu Forest had a very obvious improvement compared with 2009. The company released a total of eight films, including two approved Hollywood films.The circulation in 09 was 3.Compared with other companies, Huayi Brothers released 10 films in 9, two of which were not released nationwide, and disappeared after only being released in a small range; Bona released 17 films last year, but the works were mixed, and many of them failed to enter mainstream theaters.

As for several other companies, Enlight Media released 7 films.Galloping Horse has 6 films, Xingmei has 5 films, and Shuimu Forest is second only to Bona and Huayi in the number of films released by private entertainment companies.As for the release box office (not counting "Zi Bu Yu"), it may be higher than Bona, second only to Hua Yi.

Among Mizuki's eight films, only "Girls in Art School" was independently produced by the company. The film earned 700 million at the super high box office with a production and publicity cost of 5100 million, setting a new record for mainland horror films.Tao Quduo was dubbed the "Great Demon King of Terror" by the media.

In addition, "My Beautiful Boss", which collaborated with Starlight, earned 2100 million at the box office.

Cooperate with Xu Jinglei."Du Lala's Promotion" dominated by Mizuki earned 1.62 million at the box office, and the production cost of the film was about 2000 million. Two-thirds of the cost was recovered only by advertising cooperation. It can be called a successful example of a fashion commercial film. Helped Xu Jinglei to be promoted to No.1 Chinese female director box office.

"Decisive Battle in Shama Town" is a film co-produced by Mizuki and the upstart LeTV Entertainment in the film industry. The box office of the film is 1.15 million, helping new director Li Weiran enter the [-] million club.

In addition, Shuimu Senlin, which has achieved outstanding results in distribution, also undertakes the distribution tasks of other companies under the condition of sufficient staff. "People on the Journey" and "Love Announcement" are two small-budget commercial films released by Mizuki in 10. They did not invest in it, and both achieved good results.

"People on the Journey" is produced by Wuhan Huaqi Film and Television.Produced by Wen Jun, directed by Ye Weimin, and starring Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, the low-budget comedy film finally earned 4050 million box office and is considered a dark horse in the summer.

Directed by popular idol singer Wang Lihong, "Love Announcement" is a joint production of Liu Yifei, Zeng Yike and other youth idols. Shuimu Forest and China Film are responsible for the distribution of the film.The quality of this film is mediocre, but it is a successful example of turning fans into box office. The final box office grossed 5500 million. If there is no "Zi Bu Yu" which is now close to [-] million in the Mainland, the super high box office and super word-of-mouth, as an idol, Wang Li Hong's directorial debut can be regarded as perfect.

Although the above "Du Lala" and "Shama Town" are over [-] million yuan, and "Art School Girl" has a small cost and high output, but when it comes to profitability, we have to talk about the two unexpected Hollywood approved films, "The Expendables" and "Cold Heart".

Both films were won by He Mu for 50 US dollars (more than 300 million RMB), and the final box office was 3.05 million and 2.16 million respectively, ranking third and sixth in the box office of imported films in the past 10 years. The company spent several times the purchase price of the film, but the benefits are still amazing. The box office revenue of the two films plus other copyright transactions in the mainland can bring at least 2 million yuan in net benefits to the company.

It can be said that the main income of Shuimu Forest last year was these two foreign language films. Although He Mu will not turn Mizuki into a company specializing in film approval transactions, nor will it encourage the arrogance of Hollywood movies in the mainland, but the benefits of this time It really made him very happy, but he will not be addicted to it. Stallone once asked him if he was interested in taking over the second part of "The Expendables". After looking over it, it won't be too late if the price can be negotiated.

To sum up 2010 in one sentence, "The total box office of Mizuki's films is 9.66 million!" It can be summed up very well. The box office of nearly 10 billion shows that Mizuki's films accounted for nearly 10% in 10 years. Of course, this nearly 10% is not Mizuki Forest Most of the works done by myself are in cooperation with China Film Group or even released under the name of China Film Group, so they will eventually be counted on China Film Group.

The box office of more than 9 million yuan has more than tripled compared to 09. The box office of more than 9 million yuan is definitely not as good as Huayi. After all, Feng Xiaogang’s personal annual box office has already exceeded one billion yuan, but it is not necessarily worse than Bona. Of course, the background is sure It is not as good. As for Guangguang, Xingmei, and Xiaoma, they are definitely far behind Mizuki. Obviously, Mizuki has now grown into the third largest company that can compete with private entertainment giants Huayi and Bona.Even if the box office of "The Expendables" and "Cold Heart" are not included, Mizuki is slightly better than Guangguang and Xiaoma.

Because He Mu said that "Zibuyu" performed so well, it is inseparable from the cooperation and dedication of every department and every staff member of the company, so the basis for the amount of bonus distribution includes "Zibuyu" in addition to the 10-year box office As of the fourth week of its release, "Zi Bu Yu" had a box office of 5.68 million, plus 10 million in 9.66 years, a total of 15.34 billion. He Mu will take 1% and take out 1500 million as the company's annual award!

Up to He Mu, the chairman, general manager Chen Li, down to Wu Fa and Wu Tian brothers who escorted him in the car, a total of more than 200 employees of Shuimu Forest can enjoy this huge bonus according to their positions and performance. Chen Li, the general manager of the company, and Xue Xiangchen, the distribution department, are all as high as one million yuan, even higher than He Mu himself. The lowest low-level employees also have 1 yuan, which is equivalent to two months' salary. It is very generous, no less than a bonus, so the high-level executives follow He Mu wholeheartedly.

Encouraged by the high bonus policy, the whole company is very motivated to stand up for the last shift before the Chinese New Year, and some employees even have to work overtime during the Chinese New Year. After all, "Zi Bu Yu" is still in theaters. Art School Girl 2" is in the final stage, and the company's other ambitious work "Love to the End" is about to be released. There is still a lot of work to be done, and the company cannot be left alone.

After summing up the previous year, He Mu was a little proud of the super high box office and net income, the super high degree of social topic, and the high spread of the company's popularity, but he didn't get carried away. He knew that Shuimu Forest was far from what he envisioned. There is still a big gap between the movie kingdom, not to mention the distance, there is a big gap between Huayi alone and he needs to catch up, so for the new year, he has a lot of expectations and expectations...
