Chapter 508 The Spring Festival is coming (please subscribe for the first update!)
In the past, Lunar New Year stalls usually refer to the period from the end of November to the end of the Spring Festival holiday, which is about 11 days.

However, as the box office volume of the Spring Festival holiday has increased year by year, many movies have chosen to postpone their release until around the Spring Festival in order to avoid the highly competitive Lunar New Year file.

So the Lunar New Year stalls have now become the two months from the end of November to the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival file is officially listed separately, and it has become the most popular time in the Huaguo film market, second only to the summer file and the Lunar New Year file, and it is not worse than the National Day file.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the 2011 Lunar New Year stalls are basically over.

The biggest winner of this year's Lunar New Year file is undoubtedly "The Martian", whose domestic box office broke through the 14th mark in one and a half months after its release, breaking various records along the way.

The domestic box office of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" directed by Zhang Yimou is only 6.8 million. Although this has set a new record for his personal box office, it is not enough for Tang An's current record of breaking one billion.

The domestic box office of Xu Ke's "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" also broke 6 million, reaching 6.2 million, which is also his personal best result.

All three films have good reputations. Overseas, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" are not as dazzling as "The Martian".

"Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" has been released in Southeast Asia and Europe in recent days, but the box office is not satisfactory.

Counting "Legend of the White Snake", Li Lianjie has already missed twice in Southeast Asia.

However, the production cost of this film was as high as [-] million, so it was impossible for Yu Dong to take the risk to sign the share.

The box office is almost just paying back, and overseas copyrights can make a fortune.

"Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" was not so lucky. Zhang Weiping was too superstitious about Bell, and the overseas box office of this film was based on cuts.

60 in North America, and the box office of the regions that have been released in the world is less than one million US dollars.

It was hacked in North America, and it was well-received overseas. The scores of various professional websites are quite high.

However, the domestic situation of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is much better than before.

Originally, there were only two movies in the Lunar New Year file, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate". Back then, Zhang Yimou and Ni Ni were hacked into S.

Senior film critics, TV hosts, feminists, experts, professors, reporters, celebrities with V on various websites, one by one, jumped out one after another, wanting to compete with the "National Teacher", and published film reviews one after another.

In the most professional terms, with the highest attitude, I negate this movie ideologically, criticize Zhang Yimou, and even the audience who shed tears for this movie also ridicule-"cheap tears, superficial and ignorant touch".

What is "the theory of saving the country by women's branches and women."

At that time, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" was almost full of scolding everywhere on the Internet, and the heroine was also miserably hacked, and a lot of black history was picked up.

Fortunately, the most watched movie in the summer file became "The Martian", which naturally took on a considerable amount of pressure.

Regardless of whether the filming is good or not, there are always some people who close their eyes and spray blindly.

Coupled with the impact of "The Martian" by Bernard and New Screen, most of their energy was devoted to promoting their own films, and they did not do too much negative marketing against each other.

However, the new picture and Zhang Yimou are not having a good time. In Tang An's office, Chen Guofu talked about his contact with Zhang Yimou.

"It should be impossible. No matter which company he goes to, it is impossible for him to come to us."

"Forget it, there's no need to look for him anymore. Now the company is preparing and filming a lot of projects. Old Chen, you should pay more attention."

Tang An didn't expect much from the beginning, and Chen Guofu was just pretending to invite Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou's departure is certain. After "Three Shots", he and Zhang Weiping had conflicts. In the past half a month, Zhang Yimou has not been to the new screen once.

As for whether he will be fooled by Jia Leting as before, it is uncertain, but with Lao Jia's ability, it is not difficult to persuade Zhang Yimou.

Think about how many people LeEco poached from major companies later, in addition to Zhang Yimou and Xu Ke in film and television.

LeTV has vice presidents and director-level executives from major companies such as Ku6, Sohu, Microsoft, and iQiyi.

LeTV TV poached executives from Dangdang, JD.com, Lenovo and other companies.

LeEco has poached two vice presidents from Meizu, the person in charge of online marketing from Xiaomi, three directors from Lenovo, and a director from Microsoft.

LeEco poached the vice president of SAIC Motor, the general manager of Infiniti Asia Pacific, the vice president of GAC Toyota, and the production director of FAW-Volkswagen.

In terms of financial investment, the vice president of Huaguo Bank was even recruited.

Just because the vice president in charge of Flyme OS R&D was poached away, the founder of Meizu who was directly stimulated turned the company into a joint-stock system, ending the 11-year history of the family business.

Before Tang An got together with several of their investors, Guo Jinming and Guo Jinming followed his rhythm throughout the chat, and were taken aback by Lao Jia's entertainment ambitions.

Guo Jinming also plans to take a stake in LeTV, which can be regarded as being tied to LeTV.

Speaking of the company's projects, Tang An asked about the expansion of its studios and the preparations for their TV dramas.

The share of "Predecessor Raiders" has already been paid, 2 million box office, of which 2400 million is the distribution fee, 2000 million is the promotion fee paid in advance, and the remaining 1200 million investment has been exchanged for about 4900 million production shares.

1200 million production cost + 2000 million promotional fee paid in advance, in exchange for 9300 million share.

Xinli invested 300 million yuan in exchange for a share of about 1250 million yuan, which is considered a high return.

It seems that Xinli's rate of return is a bit higher, but Tang An's 2000 million publicity fee is not included in the share. Regardless of whether the film makes money or not, the 2000 million must be taken away first to avoid risks.

The copyright fee of "The Martian" is 3200 million US dollars, which is about 2.2 million, and it will arrive within a week.

But the money will be spent again soon, and part of the 9300 million will be used for year-end bonuses and salaries, and most of the rest will be used for the promotion of "Detective Chinatown".

There are also several TV series in preparation, and the 2.2 million in North America will be spent immediately after arriving.

Only when the new year is over, the shares of "The Martian" and "Detective Chinatown" are settled, and the follow-up broadcasting rights of the two TV series that have been released recently, can they be considered rich.

I stayed at the company all afternoon, and in the evening I left for the Xin'ao store of Hantang Cinema to attend the premiere of "Detective Chinatown".

It just so happened that "The Martian" had a single-day box office drop below one million, and "Detective Chinatown" took over perfectly.

Outside audiences have different opinions on this movie. The main reason is that the director and starring role have been changed, and it is a bit unreliable to let a 14-year-old child play the leading role.

Moreover, he has to face the back and forth attacks of movies such as "Reverse War", "Eight Star Annunciation", "Father in Father 4", "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2".

"Reverse War" starring Jay Chou and Nicholas Tse was released for 5 days, and got a box office of about 3500 million. It has a good reputation. It is not a traditional Hong Kong-style police film.

"Eight Stars Announcement" is adapted from the comedy film of the same name starring Fa Ge and Hong Gu in 88, starring Gu Tianle, Donnie Yen, and Huang Baiming.

Originally, Yang Mi played the leading role, but now Yang Mi didn't go to Meiya, so he changed to someone else.

Although the film is not very good, Yang Mi's blue bikini is still very eye-catching.

"Eight Stars Annunciation" was released for two days and received 1600 million box office.

Although there is no potential for a big hit, but it has just been released, and it can more or less account for some of the film schedule.

"Mission: Impossible 4" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2" will be released in a few days.
