I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 766 Year-end Summary (23)

In the past, when promoting a movie, you had to appear on variety shows...

Of course, it depends on the cast. In "Quit Smoking but Not Drinking", Zhu Shimao criticized "Big Camp" for not letting him promote...

Because the other party complained that the "lineup was not big enough".

If Shen Liang goes on a variety show now, he doesn’t have to consider these things. The variety show should only cooperate with him, and there is no reason for him to cooperate with others!

The number one person in domestic entertainment, no joke.

but…

At this stage, there are not many variety shows worth mentioning. "Hello, Saturday"... does not get as much attention as "Happy Camp".

After thinking for a while, Shen Liang said: "I'll contact Mao Buyi and appear on "Mao Xuewang"... and take a few interviews..."

"Okay," Chen Jiadong nodded, and then asked, "Running Man has invited us, do you want to go and have a look?"

“…Does anyone still watch Running Man?”

"The ratings are still good," Chen Jiadong paused and added, "Bai Lu is now a permanent guest!"

Shen Liang shook his head: "…Then I won't go either. The script is too obvious and boring."

"Too…"

"Are there any other plans? If not, I'll take a nap..."

"Go to sleep first, I'll call you when we get there!"

……

Movie market...the only blockbuster "Avatar: The Way of Water" is released!

Along with the release, the Weibo topic “#cinema says Avatar 2 is a life-saving movie” continued to be hot.

The box office on the first day exceeded 100 million yuan, which also met the expectation of boosting the film market as a "life-saving film".

截至12月18日晚8点，《阿凡达2》在内地的首周末票房累计3.96亿元，观影人次676万，平均票价59元。

This result is not good, even bad...

Pre-release media box office forecasts for Avatar 2 are between 22 billion and 33 billion yuan, which has the potential to break the box office record for imported films in the past three years, and even hit the runner-up in the history of imported films, second only to Avengers: Endgame.

Industry insiders predict that the box office of "Avatar 2" is expected to eventually hit 30 billion yuan.

Then, on December 12, Maoyan Professional Edition lowered its forecast for the box office of "Avatar 17" to 2 billion...

However, Shen Liang knew that the final box office performance of "Avatar 2" exceeded 16 billion in the mainland and over 20 billion US dollars worldwide...

It’s really amazing that “Avatar 2” can exceed 20 billion!
There was the loss of the Russian market due to sanctions against Russia, rising anti-American sentiment in China, a drop in consumption due to the global economic recession, and the fact that the iMax was no longer a new technology.

In terms of box office composition, the North American market (United States + Canada) accounted for 31.7% and the overseas market accounted for 68.3%.

This is also the first blockbuster to have a total box office of more than 19 billion US dollars since the COVID-20 pandemic - "Spider-Man: Far From Home" has a global box office of 18.64 billion US dollars.

It declared to the world film industry that Hollywood's dominance is temporarily unshakable.

This reflects that the North American film industry has basically recovered from the impact of COVID-19, and the production and distribution processes are gradually returning to the situation before 2019 and are back on track.

After all, the production + promotion costs of $6 million - production costs of $3.9 million + at least $2 million in promotion and operation, is a scale that movies in other countries cannot even imagine.

This movie can be sold for over 20 billion U.S. dollars, which only shows that Hollywood is too powerful.

Oh, back to the film market...

"Avatar 2" still brought some big market heat, "Puss in Boots 2", "Househusband" and "Annual Meeting! Can't Stop!" announced the release date...

The distributor and producer had suggested that the film "Annual Meeting" be released during the Spring Festival...

Shen Liang refused!
On the one hand, "The Annual Meeting, Can't Stop" is not a family-friendly theme. If it wants to get a high box office, it must increase its marketing efforts and speed. The admission fee is 1.5 million, plus at least 15 million in marketing investment, and the cost recovery must be at least billion!
"The Wandering Earth 2" and "Man Jiang Hong" are already the first choices of many viewers, and "Annual Meeting"... has a high probability of failure;
Secondly, "Annual Meeting" is indeed very suitable for the New Year's Eve period...

Most importantly, Shen Liang has already laid the groundwork - he mentioned countless times during the live broadcast that "Annual Meeting" will be released during the Christmas season...

You suddenly withdrew the schedule and then announced the Spring Festival schedule?
The possibility of failure is too great!

As for the box office expectations, Shen Liang really thinks it will be over 10 billion.

After all, it's really cool.

...The company is located in Chaowai SOHO, Chaoyang District.

There are about twenty employees - the screenwriter team does not belong to the company, but has signed a cooperation agreement.

These twenty people are mainly responsible for public relations and arranging Shen Liang's schedule and work...

When Brother Liang arrived at the company, he first apologized to all the staff - in the middle of the live broadcast yesterday, Wen Yongshan appeared and became a hot topic.

There must be rumors going around.

Late at night, a man and a woman were in a hotel. The woman was a married woman, and the man was labeled a playboy...

Even though Shen Liang later said during the live broadcast that "they are all waiting for me", indicating that it was not a private meeting, rumors were inevitable.

This thing affects your reputation!
Then the team worked overtime, removed the trending search, and compiled a statement, which roughly said, "The two are good friends and there is no relationship beyond friendship... A lawyer has been commissioned to collect evidence on the malicious rumor content and investigate the legal liability of the relevant infringing entities."

Official denial...

With such a process, let’s not talk about the money spent, the key is that the response speed is indeed very fast!

"I'm sorry to trouble you all!"

“…These are all trivial matters…”

"Okay, everyone, go back to work. This year's year-end bonus will be doubled..."

"thank you boss!"

Shen Liang came to the company mainly to check the accounts and do a year-end inventory - to know how much money he had!
Chen Jiadong reported: "The revenue from Watergate Bridge and New Journey has been credited to our accounts. We invested in each..."

"Don't look at the investment, just tell me the total amount..."

"About 4.63 million..."

Shen Liang nodded: "It's about the same as mine... Has the share of the revenue from "Keep You Safe" come in?"

"How can it be that fast? It will take at least half a year!"

"Then you probably have some idea of ​​the data, right?"

Chen Jiadong nodded: "The box office dividend of "Keep You Safe" is 7.03 million. After deducting the cost, the profit is more than 6 million... We account for 40%, and the pure mainland box office dividend is 1.5 million..."

"What about overseas copyrights, new media copyrights, and TV copyrights?"

"The total is almost 1 million, and we can share 4000 million..."

Shen Liang nodded, and then said: "Take out 50 million to reward the creators..."

“…Will it be too much?”

"People help us make money, so we should reward them..." Shen Liang waved his hand and said, "Take out another 20% of the total profit and donate it..."

"Donate it?"

“Returning to the audience…”

“Is 20% too much?”

"The money you earn... Besides, if you don't donate it, will you just leave it in the bank and collect dust?"

Chen Jiadong did not refute, but asked: "Then should we set up a charity foundation?"

"That would be a lot of things..."

"But are you comfortable donating the money to our charity?"

Shen Liang shook his head, then said: "Put it away first, and see where the money is needed, and then we can donate it, or exchange it for supplies..."

"Okay, actually I also think it would be better to replace it with supplies..."

"How is the return on investment in TV series?"

“…Basically, if you buy it on the platform, you can get the money back directly…” Chen Jiadong continued, “Youku’s offer was very generous, and the price for “Little South Wind” was 1.5 million!”

“What about other platforms?”

“…They doubt Yang Mi’s appeal…”
