Coquettish Rebirth

Cheng Long really wanted to make a decision. If it was another movie he made, he could indeed make a decision, but now he can't make a decision on this movie.Because this movie was invested by Jia Hongjian, it was up to Jia Hongjian to decide whether to take the risk or not!Whether to pay back quickly or something, it all depends on Jia Hongjian's decision.

As for Ye Jing, she waited quietly for Jia Hongjian to speak with a trusting face, while Spielberg looked forward to Jia Hongjian's nodding quickly.At this time, Jia Hongjian was reliving such a movie in his mind.He doesn't have blind self-confidence, he must go through it in his own mind before being confident.He thought about this movie carefully, using as objective an angle as possible, thinking about it from the perspective of an ordinary domestic citizen and ordinary audience in his previous life.If you look at it from the perspective of an audience, he thinks the whole movie is very interesting.Although it is different from "Rush Hour", there are no black people coming out to play tricks, there is not much collision between Chinese and American cultures, and there is nothing that Cheng Long's singing is always wrong, but without these typical American styles After the jokes, the whole film is still very tense and exciting!

Such a film is obviously not a pure kung fu comedy film like "Rush Hour", or it is not exactly the same as Cheng Long's previous films.There are fewer funny parts in this movie, and the action scenes can be said to be as far as possible to transform Cheng Long's funny talent into the skill of using on-site items, and into the action of fighting with the opponent. Overall, the plot is more attractive. !Even from Jia Hongjian's personal aesthetic point of view, such a film is really no worse than the first "Bourne Shadow"!

And when "Bourne Shadow" was released in North America, it created a box office of 2000 million US dollars, right?Jia Hongjian didn't remember clearly, but it must have been over 6000 million!So if this is the case, even if their film is not over 6000 million because the main character is Chinese, and the discount is 3000%, it is almost the same, right?Can it reach a box office of 2000 million US dollars, is this considered conservative?And the North American box office of 2000 million US dollars.In this way, DreamWorks can probably get 4000 million US dollars.And DreamWorks invested, or Jia Hongjian invested in this film, so far the cost is [-] million U.S. dollars, and the global publicity cost is estimated to be about [-] million U.S. dollars, so the cost is [-] million U.S. dollars.

If such costs are in the Chinese market, the entire box office may require at least 8000 million US dollars to pay back.But this is not the case in the United States-the American share system is more biased towards distributors, in the case of mainstream films.In the first week of the premiere, you can get 9% of the net profit from the theater!For example, if a movie theater has a weekly fixed cost of 1 US dollars, and then gets a total box office of 5 this week, then the 4 profit will be shared among everyone. The first week is the distributor, Jia Hongjian and the others. Take 9% or 36 US dollars, and then start to drop 10% from the second week, Jia Hongjian and the others get 80%.The theaters get 20%, Jia Hongjian and the others get 70% in the third week, and the theaters get 30%.

In this way, naturally, the longer the show is, the more money the theaters will make. Therefore, the stimulating theaters will show popular movies for a longer period of time and reduce the showing time of less popular movies.If such a movie is really not very popular with Americans, let's say it will be released for three weeks.On average, Jia Hongjian can get 8% of the box office profit. If this is the calculation, then the box office profit should be kept at 5000 million US dollars.Calculated in this way, the overall requirements for the box office are actually not high. Basically, even if it is released in the United States, at least it can still pay back, right?

Then Jia Hongjian thought about what he said as a Chinese.I think such a movie is very appetizing, so if such a movie enters the mainland under the name of a joint venture film, it must have a good box office, right?Not to mention the 3-12 million box office of "Titanic", even if it is 1000 million box office like "Saving Private Ryan", in the end Jia Hongjian can divide it into 2000 billion, right?If you add the money earned from distributing video tapes in the United States, it is basically quite profitable-the Chinese market alone has a profit of more than 4000 million U.S. dollars.In addition, after the U.S. pays back its capital, it can make a little money from video tapes, maybe it can make 2000 million U.S. dollars, right?Then this is after earning back the total investment of 50 million, and earning an extra 3000 million US dollars.It is equal to 2500% return on investment... This is not bad no matter what!It is even said that if the entire film needs to maintain its capital, then as long as it has a total revenue of 3000 million US dollars in the US market, it can at least maintain its capital.And even if the box office share is [-] million, then probably just a little above the [-] million box office in North America can make the entire investment not lose money...

After much deliberation, Jia Hongjian had a bottom line. 3000 million at the box office, he felt that even if it took a while, he could still get it if his reputation got bad!After all, this is not the 80s. The dollar has already started to depreciate. Now box office over 80 million US dollars is not too much, but in the late [-]s, over [-] million US dollars was very rare!

So in the end, Jia Hongjian made a decision like this: "We will not release it urgently, and we will not make any changes. We will just promote it like this, and then release it in the summer according to the original plan!" Hearing Jia Hongjian's words at that time, Ye Jing Didn't say anything, Cheng Long didn't say anything, but Spielberg was a little anxious: "But if you do this, you may lose money!"[

"If you lose money, you will lose money. I invested in this thing, and I am willing to take the risk of losing money. And compared to losing money, I believe in the quality of this movie. For the movie I made by myself, I have this confidence that I can win it." American audiences like it, even if the response at the preview screening is not too good!" Jia Hongjian said appreciatively.

Hearing what Jia Hongjian said, Spielberg was at a loss for words.Cheng Long was very moved. Although he didn't say anything, he really treated Jia Hongjian as a good brother in his heart—how many bosses could be like Jia Hongjian?Not only is Cheng Long's appetite, but everyone can cooperate together, and even now they are not afraid of losing money and want to support him!How could he not be moved?

"Hey...so be it, who made you the boss...but you have to know, the competitors this summer are very strong..." Spielberg nodded and said helplessly.Although this old man is the most well-known director in the United States, not every film he makes makes a lot of money. He also makes literary films when he has nothing to do.When making a literary film, he invests a small amount of money, and he can make a small profit for investors after careful planning.And this is even more so for commercial films. He relies on his talent to make the film continue to attract audiences, and finally make money for investors—no matter what, as a director, he needs other people to invest in making films, and investors All want to make money.He has to think about investors, it has become his instinct.But now that Jia Hongjian wants to follow the previous plan, and just wants to fight to see if the audience at the preview screening are idiots, then he can only listen to the investors to help!

After making such a decision, everything proceeded according to the original plan.On the one hand, the films began to be sent to mp, which is the film rating agency in the United States, for review and grading. On the other hand, they also began to call theater managers from all over the United States to come and watch the films.Look at the 3000 movie theaters across the United States, how many are willing to cooperate with DreamWorks to show this film.As for this movie, it is scheduled to be in the summer vacation, and there must be more than n movies competing for it.

What films are there to compete?Many well-known films, first of all, is the biggest name-George Lucas' "Star Wars Episode 1".George Lucas' "Star Wars" can be said to be America's favorite science fiction film, not yet one of them!When such a film was released abroad, it really didn't make as much money as it did in the United States, nor did it have as much appeal, but it was particularly popular in the United States!And such a movie must be the trump card in the summer file, and it must be the highest-grossing movie this year, so don't even think about it!So, let alone the films of Jia Hongjian and Cheng Long, even if it is produced by other big companies with high cost and high cost, they should still avoid the edge of "Star Wars Episode [-]"!

At the same time, there are blockbuster movies such as "The Matrix" in the summer file, and then there are hilarious comedies like "Ace Powers" aimed at the summer file. At the same time, Disney is also targeting the summer market. There is one that seems to be an animation. The film "Tarzan of the Apes" is about to be released, and then there are fantasy films such as Sony Pictures' "Dad on the Road" and Universal's "The Mummy" to grab the market.At the same time, relatively speaking, there are Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant's "Notting Hill" among the relatively niche literary films, and there is also the literary film "Shakespeare in Love" aimed at Oscars.At the same time, Julia Roberts might release her comedy "The Runaway Bride" in advance in July...even the next military horror film "The General's Daughter" will be released in the summer...

It can be said that this summer slot can be regarded as a summer slot with fierce competition on the eve of the 21st century. All the theaters are happy and have a headache. How to arrange the schedules of various blockbuster movies so that they do not affect each other, so that the theaters can earn more. When it was time for money, Jia Hongjian and Cheng Long, who were not well-known in the Hollywood industry, what kind of time could their films be shot?No one knows, not even how many theaters are willing to buy and release, and not many people know... Everything can only be concluded after the managers of theaters across the United States watch the show... (To be continued.
