Coquettish Rebirth

In such a 2003 Christmas schedule, Jia Hongjian did him a favor!He has to call more than 6000 people continuously during the day, and he also holds various parties at night. Just thinking about it makes him crazy busy.And you have to know that calling more than 6000 people is not a one-phone call. Sometimes someone promises to watch his movie within a few days, and he has to keep following up. He has to check whether they are Didn't really read it!It is normal to make two or three phone calls to a person even if you have to discuss with others!And at night, they kept inviting local celebrities from Los Angeles, various members, and entertainers to come and play together, in order to break into such a social circle, and to become friends with everyone !So for such a period of time, Jia Hongjian really behaved himself with a mask on, and he really talked nonsense when he saw people talking!

And not just here in Los Angeles, but also in New York!Didn't Jia Hongjian buy a building in Times Square in New York?This building occupies a large area, and New York is also one of the dual performing arts centers in the United States, so it must attract members from New York.So there are endless parties in New York!In the end, Jia Hongjian really fell asleep within 2 minutes of lying on the bed every day!Sometimes he even forgot to take off his clothes, it was Ye Jing who helped him take them off and covered him with the quilt!

However, in such a busy process, as an employee, Jia Hongjian was still a little concerned about the box office of various Christmas movies.Generally speaking, there are not many blockbuster movies in this year's Christmas schedule.Therefore, with the help of their "Internet Violence" with positive reviews, their box office is also good. At the beginning of the Christmas schedule, their box office is more than 300 million US dollars, and when Christmas ends, then It's already close to 1000 million US dollars!Don't forget, Jia Hongjian's investment in this film is only 60 US dollars!So from this perspective, what is the return on investment?Just based on the fact that DreamWorks can get about 7% of the share, the box office of 700 million US dollars, then the return on investment exceeds 1000%!

Of course.Anyway.Such a film is still a literary film, and the pace is still relatively slow. It is not suitable for the viewing habits of American audiences who like to recognize good or bad at a glance.Turning around to talk about other films, first of all, it is an alternative film like "Kill Bill".A film like Quentin Tarantino's caused quite a stir in North America. The first episode of "Kill Bill" with a production cost of 3000 million.It grossed 2200 million in its opening weekend.In the end, it is estimated that the box office of 6000 million should not be a big problem, and it must be able to make money.And such a movie is rated R, but only people over 17 years old can watch it!From this point of view.The return on investment of this film is still quite good, but compared with the next film, it is a bit pale.

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is such a horror film, a low-budget film of 950 million US dollars, the premiere is actually 2800 million US dollars, it is estimated that the final box office can reach 8000 million US dollars, and you must know the film's The rating is also R-rated, which is also about 18 bans. As a result, the investment is much smaller than that of "Kill Bill", and the box office may be much higher. The return on investment is almost bursting!From this point of view, this low-cost horror film really has potential for development. As long as the idea is good, it can make money even with a very small investment, and it can make a lot of money!

However, if there are films with high return on investment, there must be films with low return on investment, and there are even films that may lose money!For example, "Cold Mountain" starring Tom Cruise's wife Nicole Kidman, such a film was released on the Christmas schedule. If there is a box office of 7900 million, it will be exhausted, and if the global box office exceeds 8000 million, it will be exhausted, so this film is basically a life of losing money!And Nicole Kidman, the beautiful elder sister, also continued to maintain her reputation as a box office poison.

As for Tom Cruise, the husband of the beautiful eldest sister Nicole, it is relatively better.As Tom Cruise's husband, "The Last Samurai" was actually released at the same time as his wife's film.Such a "The Last Samurai" invested 1.4 million U.S. dollars, but its premiere in North America was only 2400 million U.S. dollars. It is estimated that the box office will be over 8000 million. Otherwise, an estimated $[-] million would be great!But such a film was filmed in Japan after all, and it is also related to Japanese culture. In the end, it is estimated that the overseas market may be very good. If it fails, the box office in the Japanese market will exceed [-] million U.S. dollars. With the income from overseas markets, it should not be a big problem to get back the cost, and it is not difficult to make money from the box office, not to mention the subsequent sales of various TV broadcasting rights and DVD rental and sales.From this point of view, it can also show that Tom cruise is indeed slightly stronger than his wife.

It needs to be mentioned by the way that Ang Lee's "Hulk" was also released in the summer, so the box office... just let it go.With an investment of 1.4 million US dollars, the North American box office is only 1.32 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is only 2.45 million US dollars. From this point of view, it is still possible to make money for the studio with the box office share of this film, but There are not many of them. In the end, it is estimated that the studio can earn 5000 to [-] million yuan, and the TV station can also earn a fortune from copyright sales, but such a result will definitely not satisfy Universal Investment.

In this Christmas schedule, the biggest names are two films. One is "The Matrix 3". After the second episode of this film was released in May, the third episode will be screened in a hurry at the end of the year. .As a result, the box office really dropped a lot.The production cost of the two episodes is 5 million US dollars, but the box office of the second episode was 1.5 US dollars in the first weekend, and the third episode was only 9177 US dollars in the first weekend. The score dropped by almost half!The total box office of the second episode in North America is 4413 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is 4847 million US dollars.In the end, it was 5154 million US dollars worldwide.As for the premiere results of the third episode, it is estimated that the North American box office can reach 2.8 million in the end. The evaluation of the film was also quite low, saying that it was not as good as the second film.

Such a "Matrix 3" is a bit late, but "Lord of the Rings" is different! The third episode of "The Lord of the Rings" is also the last episode of the series. The premiere of this film is higher than that of the second one, so it is estimated that the final box office will be higher than the second one.The second part premiered at $6200 million in North America.The overall box office in North America was 3.4 million US dollars.The overseas box office grossed US$5.8 million, and the final global box office reached US$9.26 million.While the production cost of the third film was slightly lower than that of the second film by US$400 million, and the overall production fee was maintained at US$9000 million, the box office premiered at US$7200 million.Just in its third week of release.It's New Year's time.The North American box office of this film has already reached 2.9 million US dollars, and it is estimated that the final impact of 4 million may be a play!And the global box office is expected to reach 10 billion US dollars!From this point of view, this "Lord of the Rings" does not matter from the return on investment.Or from the point of view of the end of the series, it is perfect!It is estimated that the new cinema company investing in such a film will be so happy that they can laugh out loud in their dreams!

When the time comes to January 1rd, after such a small holiday of Christmas and New Year, Oscar voting will start soon!First of all, starting from January 3th, Oscar members who want to vote will go to the Academy to watch the film.Of course, Jia Hongjian and the others had to seize such an opportunity. In order for everyone who had contacted to watch the movie, Jia Hongjian and the others paid a lot of money!First of all, let’s talk about these members near Los Angeles. Jia Hongjian directly rented a car and sent a car to pick them up, and sent them from home or work to Oscar Academy!In this way, we can pull as many people as possible to watch the film, and pull as many people as possible to vote, right?There are a lot of words and they live in other places or even take their families on vacation. Jia Hongjian even let his special plane pull them over, and then book a hotel for them, so that they can watch movies and vote. !By the way, Jia Hongjian and the others held meet-and-greets directly in the screening halls of various branch venues after the special film screenings, directly facing hundreds of members at a time, chatting with them about their own ideas and creations. The mood of the time.

And for such an action, although a total of 200 million US dollars was spent on this first vote, the effect is quite good!Because after the first round of voting ended, Jia Hongjian knew that their "Internet Violence" directly ranked first among the best foreign language films, and would definitely be nominated for the Oscar for best foreign language film. !And the rewards for Jia Hongjian's hard work are also great. He has been tired for more than a month, and the result is that he not only got a lot of votes for the best foreign language film, but even the best actress, best supporting actor, The best original screenplay has received a large number of votes, and even the best film award in the end, he got quite a lot of votes, ranking seventh in the total best film votes!

What does it mean to be seventh?Don't forget that the first round of voting for the Oscars is 7 candidate films, and then the organizing committee can specify to add 9 films that they think are good, and then become 5, and then select 5 to become the final [-] nominations!Ranking seventh means that Jia Hongjian's "Internet Violence" can actually enter the second round of voting for the "Best Movie" award!If we try harder to attract people...would it be possible to win over those members who like other films but did not vote for "Internet Violence"?Will we try again and make "Internet Violence" one of the nominated films for the best picture Oscar?

If this can be done... that would be really cool!Although Jia Hongjian has already won the best movie once with "Tang Monk", to Jia Hongjian, that movie was a bit "plagiarized" and "referenced", and such a film is He, Jia Hongjian, thought of it purely on his own, and it was also shot by himself. If this can be nominated, he himself will be very happy!This proves that the films made by Jia Hongjian himself can reach the level of the best films of the year at the Oscars!
