Chapter 823 Analysis
The ten-day box office of "Operation Red Sea" reached 26.68 billion. In less than two weeks, it created a new box office record in mainland film history, which once again raised the popularity of this movie to a higher level.

For a movie that can resonate with the audience and promote the prestige of the country, the better the results, the more excited and proud the audience will be.

As far as the current trend is concerned, 30 billion is only a matter of a few days, and it is not impossible to hit 40 billion.

At this time, the topic about Tang An's expected box office of 40 billion, which had been covered up by the popularity and topics of the movie itself, was brought up again.

However, unlike before, this time the major media's predictions for the box office are all above 40 billion.

It has become so popular, even if the plot can be black and white, no matter which media it is, they will no longer question the box office performance of "Operation Red Sea".

Looking at it now, it is very possible to hit 40 billion. Even if it is less than 40 billion, it will not be much worse. It is meaningless to question this aspect. It is better to follow along.

"26 billion in ten days, where is the end point of "Operation Red Sea"? 30 billion or 40 billion, or even more?"

"30 billion is close at hand, and 40 billion is just around the corner. "Operation Red Sea" is about to create a number that makes people desperate!"

"When Tang An shouted that "OPERATION RED SEA" would take 40 billion at the box office, everyone thought he was bragging, but Tang An shocked all audiences with an explosive movie and refuted all doubts!"

""Operation Red Sea" broke 26 billion at the box office, creating the hottest summer film in film history. Tang An is the only one who can beat him!"

Ordinary audiences may not pay much attention to the box office, but once a certain number is reached, it will be a major event that the whole network pays attention to.

The media is revealing and predicting in various ways, and the audience is also guessing how much box office the movie can sell, and the popularity has reached its peak since it was released.

The movies of the same period, including "Tiny Times 4" were greatly affected, and even the scolding was much less.

Many movies are famous because they have been scolded too much, let more people know.

Once there are fewer people scolding, it means that there will be fewer people paying attention to this movie, and it will be completely over.

This data also caused a major earthquake in the industry.

Tang An started from 11 billion in the past few years, and gradually reached 24 billion last year.

Progress step by step seems to be a matter of course. Even if 24 billion was last year, it was a huge number for the market at that time last year, but most of the colleagues were surprised.

But now, compared to last year's Tang An's film, "Operation Red Sea" is a leap forward, and the increase has completely exceeded everyone's imagination. No matter who it is, no one thought that it could reach this figure.

Last year's 18 to 24 billion was considered a normal progress, but this year it suddenly soared from 24 billion to a possible 40 billion, which is completely different.

Brother Huayi, Wang Zhongjun got the data analysis on "Operation Red Sea" early in the morning.

Now "Operation Red Sea" has become the focus of attention of all companies in the industry, and almost all large and medium-sized companies have made a detailed analysis of this movie.

The factors of success, the subsequent trend, and the figures that may be reached in the end.

Everyone wants to follow suit, even if you can't eat meat, it's good to drink some soup.

Xiangjiang, Hollywood, and the mainland all follow suit, shooting whatever hits.

However, these medium-sized and above film and television companies will not blindly follow the trend. They must first find the key to success, otherwise it will be useless to follow the trend.

Seeing that the box office is very likely to reach 40 billion, as the first domestic film and television stock, Wang Zhongjun naturally wants to follow suit, and big companies also have the strength to follow suit.

In fact, every time Tang An made a movie before, he wanted to follow suit and make a similar one, but nothing happened.

Science fiction films can’t be made, and Feng Xiaogang, who makes comedy inspirational films, doesn’t make comedies anymore.

However, this time there is still no way to follow suit. Few domestic directors of large-scale war films can control it.

Some of those directors of the older generation have filmed large-scale war scenes, and they have this ability, but in terms of plot, they are definitely there, basically there is no need to look forward to it.

Zhang Yimou can make it, but he can't find it. Feng Xiaogang can do it too, but he already has two films.

Director Chen Kexin has signed a contract with Ah Li. Among other Xiangjiang directors, no one can control a blockbuster of this scale.

Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but sighed, "This movie can earn more than one billion yuan at the box office alone, and our two years of tossing around are in vain."

In the past two years, the box office volume in the mainland was not high, and the box office alone earned too little, so Wang Zhongjun began to devote his energy to live entertainment.

Location-based entertainment does make money, and it doesn't cost them much.

However, now the movie "Operation Red Sea" can earn one billion at the domestic box office alone. If I had known that making a movie could make so much money, I would have spent my energy on doing live-action entertainment.

I have opened two movie towns before and have not yet recovered the cost. I invested 30 billion in live entertainment last year, and the construction has not yet been completed. I don’t know how long it will take to make money.

"Brother, it seems that the core of the film industry is the film business itself." Wang Zhonglei said on the opposite side.

The market is getting bigger and bigger. As long as blockbuster movies with a cost of more than 1 million yuan are not too bad, they can easily return their capital. Even "The White-haired Witch: The Moon Kingdom" took nearly 8000 million at the box office and made a profit with an investment of [-] million. Not a lot.

Moreover, the movie box office is also conducive to the development of live entertainment IP, after all, IP is based on fame.

Returning to the essence of movies, we still look at the box office and see whether it is popular or not.

Wang Zhongjun also decided to put his focus back on film and television production and distribution, and it happened that he really had a big production in his hands.

Xiang Huaqiang had a phone conversation with him a few days ago, and wanted to finish "Legend of the Conferred Gods" seriously.

Such a freshman IP, as long as the filming is not bad, it will definitely sell well at the box office.

But now that the market is such a big piece of cake, one blockbuster is far from enough.

Wang Zhongjun said, "Zhonglei, you and Feng Xiaogang talk about "Mobile Phone 2" again, and when he finishes his current work with this film, he will start this project."

"Okay." Wang Zhonglei nodded, but said again, "If he has to stop filming, we have nothing to do, unless his new movie is released next year and fails, then we can be sure."

Now they can't command Feng Xiaogang anymore, even if they sign the gambling agreement, as long as Feng Xiaogang can complete the performance, they don't need to listen to them at all.

Wang Zhongjun doesn't know that the more capable a person is, the less he will be controlled.

Now Wang Zhongjun hopes that Feng Xiaogang will hit the street next year, so under the pressure of gambling, he will definitely agree to start "Mobile Phone 2" immediately.

With the addition of the previous film, and Feng Xiaogang's comedy, Wang Zhongjun knew without thinking that this film would be a hit, and billions of dollars was not a problem at all.

Because the current box office of "Operation Red Sea" has had a considerable impact on major companies.

"Monster Hunt" co-produced by Wanda and Bernard, and "Pancake Man" invested by Ah Li are about to be released. The two films and "Operation Red Sea" are separated by two weeks, and they originally tried not to collide.

But looking at the current box office trend of "Operation Red Sea", it is impossible not to be affected.

Wanda originally planned to start reducing the publicity and distribution expenses of "Monster Hunt". After all, the popularity of "Operation Red Sea" can be described as the sky, which is far beyond the comparison of other movies.

However, "Monster Hunt" itself has an investment of 3.5 million, and there is no hope of getting back the cost if it cuts the publicity and distribution. If you invest more in publicity and distribution, you still have a chance.

"Pancake Man" has a low cost and is a comedy film, so it is easy to pay back the cost. However, for the two blockbuster films in the same period, Ah Li himself has no confidence, that is, it will be announced and released according to ordinary medium-budget films.

As for "Taiping Wheel: The Other Shore", which will be released at the end of the month, due to the hit of the upper part and the unsatisfactory box office of Lay's summer film "Tiny Times 4", the promotion only started half a month before the release, and the investment is not strong.

Losing money is certain, and Leshi had no choice but to stop the loss. We can only see if the summer vacation time is good and whether we can get more box office.

Another costume blockbuster "Dynasty's Woman" also joined the promotional campaign. At the beginning of the promotion, some posters were thrown out to attract attention.

However, audiences have already seen it in the TV series version, so there is nothing new and the effect is not very good.

But then the film crew released a trailer, and the next day even brought out a big killer.

A rather beautiful video was posted on the Internet. After some publicity, the movie "Dynasty's Woman" was directly popularized.

For a while, the popularity of "Dynasty Woman" soared, second only to "Operation Red Sea".

Tang An, who was promoting in Guangzhou, also saw this trailer on the computer again after many years.

Not only did Tang An watch it, but basically everyone who frequently watched movies and TV dramas on the Internet watched it.

After reading it, I'm afraid there is only one sentence "Fuck, I can still play like this" to express my mood.

"This director's mind is really not small. I don't think I have seen such a scene in other film and television dramas."

Tang An was amazed, it was a talent who could come up with this scene.

Everyone fell silent.

Tang An smiled and said, "Actually, this shot is not useless. It takes a certain amount of skill to make it more attractive, and it is also a challenge for the actors. At that time, the character was running at high speed on horseback. It was hard to figure it out.

Tang An talked about the play there, leaving everyone speechless for a while, but they couldn't say anything.

You can't discuss it with Tang An, and it's not appropriate to refute.

It's just that I can't help but have a question in my heart, this Tang An doesn't have any eccentricities.

This shot was indeed well shot, and Tang An wasn't talking nonsense.

Tang An then said solemnly, "You will definitely encounter various difficult scenes in filming in the future. Although it is not the same scene, there are also things to learn from. Performances are all about mobilizing the emotions of the audience."
