Coquettish Rebirth

How did "Hero" fare at the box office?Pretty good!The result of the first day of the premiere reached 1300 million US dollars!Although this data may seem a bit low, the three-day opening weekend adds up to a box office of 3100 million US dollars!What does this mean?It means that it is basically not a problem to break through the box office of "Hero" of more than 5000 million in history!Although there are only more than 2000 theaters, and although the box office of the first weekend is not as good as Lord of the Rings, such a statistic has already created a box office record for a Chinese movie released in the United States!

After the end of the first weekend, the theaters added more than 100 theaters to join the screening team, mainly because the box office of the first weekend was very good.Then, the box office of the four days in the middle of the second week also reached 1000 million, which means that before the second weekend, the box office of "Hero" has reached 4000 million US dollars!At this time, Jia Hongjian's investment has almost been recovered!You must know that this "Hero" originally invested 2.5 million yuan, and the domestic box office was 4 million yuan, and 1.8 million yuan was distributed to the film studio, which was a loss of 2.2 million yuan. After arriving in the United States, it used up 500 million yuan. The publicity expenses in U.S. dollars, which is just over 4000 million yuan, is a total loss of 2.7 million yuan, but 2.7 million yuan is only 3300 million U.S. dollars!The box office of 4000 million US dollars can be distributed to everyone about 3000 million, which means that it has basically returned its capital!If you come to the box office in the future, it will be a pure profit!

And the box office results of the weekend of the second week really lived up to expectations. It won 1900 million box office in three days on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.Although it is much less than the first week, the overall North American box office totaled 5900 million US dollars.It has surpassed the box office of "Hero" in North America in history.On the other hand, this also means that Jia Hongjian and the others not only paid back the cost of such a film, but also earned about 1500 million US dollars!This is multiplied by the exchange rate of 8, that is, 1.2 million yuan has been earned!Don't forget that they invested only 2.5 million RMB, or only 3000 million US dollars, and now they have paid back their capital, and they have earned an extra 1500 million US dollars!Even if no one watches this movie suddenly now, it is still a rhythm of 50% profit!

In the third week, the box office increased by 500 million in the middle of the week.Although it dropped again, the total box office reached 6400 million, and another 1600 million box office came in three days on the weekend, so the overall box office was as high as 8000 million US dollars!It can be said that in the third week, such a movie not only paid back its budget, but also earned a box office share of 6000 million US dollars! What does $6000 million mean?That means twice the original investment!The ROI is 200%!According to the current rhythm, basically the box office will be around 7 million in 1000 days in the next week plus weekends.It will be even less in the next week, so generally speaking, the box office of such a movie will probably be over 1.1 million in the end. If you want to say that it can reach 1.2 million or 1.5 million, it is estimated that it is the limit. It is basically impossible to reach 13 million. The release period is estimated to be 14 to [-] weeks.

From this perspective, this "Hero" is far worse than Infernal Affairs.But the problem is that such a movie is, after all, a movie made in China, after all, it was made by a mainland crew!Such a mainland film used to have little chance of being screened in the United States, but now such a film is not only screened, but also has a box office of 1 million U.S. dollars, or 8 million yuan.What is this concept?And don't forget that after our film has earned a box office of over [-] million US dollars in the United States, it can also be released in other countries in the world!We all have over [-] million box office.It can't still be a batch of films, can it?It can always be confused with the ledger, right?

At this time, Jia Hongjian was very relieved to see the daily box office growth, but he didn't have any "excessive" reaction, but Lao Mouzi and others beside him were different!Chen Daoming, Li Yanxiong and others watched with excited smiles. After all, they participated in China's first movie that broke out of Asia and went to the world, and this movie was quite profitable!But their reaction was just happy, which was still a bit worse than that of Lao Mouzi.This old Mouzi was so moved that he was on the verge of tears!why?He has been filming films in China for 20 years, and this is the first successful film in the market.Moreover, it was still such a large investment, and it was released in the United States, seeing that the box office in the United States is going to be over [-] million!This definitely gave him a feeling that a scene that he dared not dream of had come true!After the disbelief at the beginning, how could he not be so moved in retrospect?

From his point of view, all of this is delaying Jia Hongjian's fortune!"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was only released on a small scale in a few theaters at the beginning. Without Jia Hongjian, wouldn't "Hero" have to start from scratch like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?Don't start with small-scale releases and climb a little bit?But where is the small-scale release so easy to turn around?After most of the small-scale release films are released, they simply cannot wait for the large-scale release before going offline!This is the case with the films from China that participated in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film several times before.At that time, all kinds of things begged grandpa and grandma to ask American distributors to help with screenings, but they didn't think it was profitable, so they were not willing to do it at all!In the end, it is all about giving money to others, so they are willing to act as an agent for distribution and screening. Even if this is the case, there will only be three or five theaters for small-scale screenings!

But after having Jia Hongjian, when he came to the United States, there were 2000 screenings, that is, various theaters were clamoring to buy copies, and there was no reluctance at all!What is this rush?And because of Jia Hongjian, when the film was filmed in the early stage, it was intentionally close to the situation in the United States, and after it came to the United States, it was re-edited and so on.After doing this, in conjunction with Jia Hongjian's various miraculous publicity, it will be all kinds of best sellers and make money all of a sudden!Isn't this all due to Jia Hongjian?

Without Jia Hongjian, would "Heroes" have achieved what it is today?At least in the eyes of Lao Mouzi, it is completely impossible!He really doesn't have much confidence in front of Jia Hongjian now. If Jia Hongjian let him play alone, he didn't know that "Hero" which he made alone in history could earn 5000 million at the box office in the United States. So if he came here by himself, it would be an eye-opener for him to get 500 million at the box office!So why is the current achievement not due to Jia Hongjian?It can be said that at this time, the old Mouzi really thought highly of Jia Hongjian because of the fog of time and space!

Of course Jia Hongjian is strong. He was able to double the 5000 million "Heroes" in history to 1 million through various means, but it would be too much to say that it would be impossible to come to the United States without his film.But who made Lao Mouzi a native of this time and space, and who made Lao Mouzi ignorant of what was going on in history?So sincerely, it can be said that without Jia Hongjian's attention, he has already snatched a lot of historical achievements that Lao Mouzi could have obtained, and even made Lao Mouzi, the victim, to be grateful to him after he robbed him Worship!From this point of view, Lao Mouzi is really a bit "being sold and helping count the money"!

When such a "Hero" hit the box office in the United States, the media in mainland China went crazy!When did you ever think that a Chinese film could earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office when it comes to the United States?Hundreds of millions of dollars, this is 8 million yuan!This market is much bigger than domestic!For the media, some time ago, they were quite inferior to Chinese films, and they thought that Chinese people just couldn’t make movies, and they just couldn’t make a lot of money.As a result, in the blink of an eye, Jia Hongjian let "Hero" break the box office record in China. Cut down a huge box office of 1 million US dollars!

After such a result came out, the media reporters counted their fingers and found that this film was too profitable for the investors!If it really reaches a box office of 7000 million U.S. dollars, then what can be obtained is a share of 5 million U.S. dollars, which is more than 6 million and nearly 1.8 million yuan, plus the 8 million yuan that China can get. , that adds up to nearly 3000 million in total!And the investment is only 2 million US dollars, which is more than 5 million yuan, so it is not a dream to earn a total of 200 million yuan!What does this mean, this means that the return on investment is 1%!Investing 2 million yuan will not only pay back the capital, but also earn 3 million more!And the most important thing is that it only took a few months! When will the filming of "Hero" start?It was only the end of February and March when the preparations started, right?Now in September, the return on investment in half a year is 9%!Does this keep up with the return on investment of crimes?And the risk is not that great, hey!

If you can make two movies a year, invest 1 million for the first time, and get back 3 million with profit after half a year, what if you reinvest the 3 million to make a movie?So by the end of the year, is it necessary to return 9 million with interest?If you look at it in one year, doesn't it mean that the one-year return on investment is 800%?Almost ten times a year!How is this a way to make money?It's almost like printing money!It can be said that when the reporters are frantically reporting on the grand occasion in the United States, and when the national pride of the common people is bursting, the eyes of various private capitalists are also shining!They suddenly discovered that investing in movies seems to be a better investment channel than investing in real estate, precious metals, etc.!
