Coquettish Rebirth

The filming of "Hero" is almost done, except for some additional shots, it is basically almost finished.On the other side, Nolan's "Infernal Affairs" was actually shot almost well.Although Jia Hongjian received two films at the same time before, it seemed that there was no conflict at all, and it seemed that there was no difficulty for him at all, but now, the real challenge to him from these two films is about to begin!

What do you call a real challenge?Editing and a series of follow-up things!In the specific shooting process before, he, Jia Hongjian, was mainly the supervisor, and his job was mainly to ensure that the work done by others would not go wrong.But after the filming was completed, the director was basically fine, and the rest was Jia Hongjian's business!He is about to start actually running two films at the same time and even editing two films at the same time!Although he didn't do the specific editing himself, he still needs to take care of it, and he also needs to watch it!In this regard, he really can only try to stagger the timing of the two movie clips.

Under his arrangement, he will first go to the United States to edit Nolan's film.During the flight to the United States, Jia Hongjian began to think about when Nolan's film would be released.Because relatively speaking, Nolan’s "Infernal Affairs" does not actually need any special effects, so after the filming and editing are completed, it is almost ready to start operating various test screenings and so on. I started to discuss with the theaters how many copies to buy and how many theaters to release it. At the same time, this also designed the issue of when it will be released!

Jia Hongjian's first thought was that it would be released in summer!According to the laws of the market in the United States.Starting in May, it is already considered the beginning of the summer vacation.Although the summer vacation in the United States is actually not that early, but because the weather is getting warmer, more people start to go out of the house and go to the movies, so many times some big movies that are not suitable for children to watch during the summer vacation, That will be directly released in May and June!In this way, most of the films released during the real summer vacation are suitable for children.

Therefore, if Jia Hongjian wants to show the release time now, he must roughly rely on the memory of his reborn person to calculate how many competitors there will be by that time!According to his memory, this May of 2002 was the first "Spider-Man" movie released by Columbia Samsung, and this is the first episode of the "Spider-Man" trilogy.After such a trilogy.I don’t know what kind of medicine Columbia took, maybe because Spider-Man fans felt that the adaptation was too much, so they had to announce a restart, and then re-shoot three so-called "Amazing Spider-Man" films.In it, try to design the plot according to the original work.For example, making Spider-Man become a chatterbox or something.

At the same time, if Jia Hongjian remembered correctly.This May will also have the second part of "Star Wars Prequel", which is "Attack of the Clones".In 5, the first part of "Star Wars Prequel" came out.Then it went directly to the top three in the historical box office list!So such a "Star Wars Prequel" is quite attractive in the North American market itself, no matter how confident you are, you have to avoid three points in front of this kind of film!Because this film is so attractive to Americans, the film that will be released at the same time will definitely be robbed of a lot of box office!Even if everyone may not be the same type at all!Because this "Star Wars" series is simply a story exclusive to Americans, n many Americans will not choose to watch other movies after seeing movies related to "Star Wars"!

Just these two films in May, in Jia Hongjian's impression, are the top three in this year's box office!These two seem to have a North American box office of more than 5 million or 3 million US dollars!From this angle alone, the dominance is obvious!On the other hand, "Lord of the Rings", which fought with Jia Hongjian and others last year, has a sequel this year. "Lord of the Rings 2" will release a new work during this Christmas holiday, although everyone's schedule will not match. , but just by looking at it, you can tell that there are really blockbuster movies everywhere this year!

At the same time, if I remember correctly, there didn't seem to be any particularly good blockbusters in June, but it was different in July.In July, there will be such a film as "Super Black SWAT 6". If Jia Hongjian remembers correctly, the box office of this film in North America is about 2 million U.S. dollars, plus "Ace Powers 2" Comedy films such as "The Summer" in July are not so easy to mix. Relatively speaking, the market in June is a little bit easier.How about we release it in June?What is certain now is that the only blockbuster movie released in June is Uncle Tom's "Minority Report".In fact, Uncle Tom didn't even know that the movie was going to be released in June, and the official person for the movie had just confirmed that it would be released in June. Why would Jia Hongjian know?Because Jia Hongjian is an official!

That's right!Historically, "Minority Report" was such a commercial blockbuster directed by Spielberg and starring Uncle Tom.But in this era, because Spielberg has too many films to shoot, now he is only the producer, and the director is someone else.As for the investment and distribution of such a film, Uncle Tom's "Cruise" film company and DreamWorks jointly invested and released it, so Jia Hongjian may not know when this film will be released. ?Such a film is in June, which is equivalent to the rhythm of taking the lead.According to the forecast, there are generally no major blockbusters in June, because it is a bit out of date-the real blockbusters are generally released in May, and then July and August will be the world of the bear children. What is this June for? Who is watching?But for Jia Hongjian, he doesn't care about that. When his films are released, that is the mainstream of the market. If it's exhausted, he, Jia Hongjian, is so stupid that he insists on showing it at that time? This time period in May is not a Christmas file!The total box office still has an approximate scale!

So after thinking about it for a while, Jia Hongjian and the others decided to release this film in June, and try to keep the schedule separate from "Minority Report" and try not to compete with each other.After such a general arrangement, Jia Hongjian took a break from his busy schedule to watch DreamWorks start preparing for the preview screening and editing.Now this film has officially been released in the United States. In terms of the overall box office, this film has reached a box office level of 6 million US dollars in the United States, and it will be less than 2.9 million.From this point of view, it really reached the level of not only paying back the capital, but also making a small profit!According to the account split ratio of about 3%, such a box office of nearly 7 million can finally reach 3 million in Jia Hongjian's hands, and their investment is only 2 million, which means that they have earned 1.5 in the North American market. Ten thousand dollars, and it's paid back.Then the rest of the foreign box office share is pure profit!

As for the overseas market, the film is now basically offline in various countries.In Brazil, it took a total of 1000 million US dollars at the box office, in Australia it was 2400 million, in France it was 3500 million, and in Germany it was as high as 7800 million!Japan's 6800 million, the mainland has a box office of 5115 million US dollars!Overall, in overseas markets, the box office of "Tang Monk" is as high as 5.7 million US dollars!And what about its former rival, The Lord of the Rings?This film earned 3.1 million box office in the United States, which is slightly better than "Tang Monk", but it is different in overseas markets!

In the overseas market, although "The Lord of the Rings" achieved very gratifying results, it actually got a box office of 5.5 million U.S. dollars, but who made Tang Seng get a box office of 5.7 million U.S. dollars, so at the end of the calculation, everyone's magnitude is about the same. Calculated according to "small points", that is, if you compare fractions, this "Tang Monk" beat the opponent by 560 million US dollars by fractions!So to be honest, Jia Hongjian's film is the No. 2001 box office in the global market... Well, it seems that it is wrong to count it in 2002, and if it is counted in 5.7, there will be Spider-Man and so on. to grab?This is really a headache, but having said that, it has earned 40 million at the global box office. According to the 2.28% share ratio, Jia Hongjian and the others can all get a share of 2.28 million US dollars.And such a [-] million US dollars, that is their pure profit!

And just 2.28 million is not enough!In the genuine market like the United States, we still have peripheral products such as video discs to make money!In the United States, the price range of a video disc is similar to that of a CD. Ordinary films cost about $10, and cheaper ones even cost seven or eight dollars a piece. Big movies are naturally more expensive. , so it is estimated that the final price of Jia Hongjian's film is about 15 US dollars a dvd.Let's not talk about anything else, when the time comes, Nolan's "director's cut" will be added to the dvd, and a story will be filmed directly from the perspective of the second story, and then a story from the original version will be added. Let's buy these two discs. It's 30 dollars, isn't it common people rushing for it?Especially after word of mouth came out!Because we are full of sincerity and have "easter eggs", so that ordinary people feel that buying it is not a waste of money!

Let’s not count too much on such a set of DVDs for 20 dollars. Even if you earn 20 dollars for a set, this is already very low?It actually cost less than a dollar to actually make!And at that time, it can be sold on the Sherlock Holmes platform!However, let’s calculate according to the offline wholesale price to one of the dealers. One like earns 100 US dollars, and if 2000 million copies are sold, this is another [-] million US dollars in income!In the future, if any game company wants to buy a license to make a game, then it can get a license of tens of millions of dollars!All in all, a lot of money!
