Chapter 962 Finished, the results of the Spring Festival file

Returning to the crew again to shoot "I'm Not the God of Medicine", although the actors expressed their understanding, Zhou Xia still felt very sorry.

Although the arrangements were well made before he left, Xu Guangtou and assistant director Wen Muye continued to film other scenes.

However, the director always leaves the crew for something, which inevitably affects the creative attitude of the entire crew.

This is even worse than being an actor.

The director is the head of the crew, and he has to deal with many things. If the director leaves, many things will cause disputes.

The actors, crew and other behind-the-scenes staff didn't say anything, but they definitely had some opinions in their hearts.

Some people even become slack, and some preparations are not so serious during shooting.

Zhou Xia is very clear about this point. Fortunately, after returning this time, except for Xiaohu's production in early April, he needs to leave the crew, so there is nothing to distract him.

If it is fast, the filming of this movie will be finished by the end of April, and if it is slow, it will be completely finished in early May.

Therefore, before the shooting that day, Zhou Xia called the entire crew to speak.

He basically said the purpose and significance of his shooting this movie. I hope that everyone will not be affected by leaving the crew because of his business. I hope that everyone will not forget their original intentions, do their best to do their work seriously, and complete this movie well.

The director has spoken to boost morale. Most of the crew members have been filming with Zhou Xia all the year round. They naturally understand what he means, and they all raise their spirits again and work hard.

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, it's early April, Xiaohu's due date arrives, and Zhou Xia leaves the crew again for three days.

On April 4th, Xiaohu successfully gave birth to a boy and a girl. The mother and child were safe. Zhou Xia settled down for a while, not daring to delay, so she hurried back to the crew to continue filming.

Another month of filming followed, and on May 5, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was completely wrapped.

The film was delayed due to Zhou Xia leaving the crew several times, and it took more than three months to complete the filming.

During this period, Xiahua Film and Television successfully landed on Nasdaq in mid-March.

In just 46.8 days of being listed, the stock has soared from US$54.6 to US$546, and the market value has reached US$[-] billion.

Adding the market value of the domestic Shanghai Stock Exchange's 3168 billion soft sister coins, converted into US dollars, the total market value of Xia Hua Film and Television has already exceeded the 1041 billion US dollar mark, reaching [-] billion US dollars.

In the global film and television industry, it ranks only below Disney and Comcast (the parent company of Universal Pictures) with 1796 billion US dollars and 1780 billion US dollars.

Much higher than the last two of the top five, Time Warner's $766 billion and 21st Century Fox's $549 billion.

As for other Hollywood film and television giants, Sony, the parent company of Columbia Pictures, has a market value of about 400 billion U.S. dollars, Viacom, the parent company of Paramount, has a market value of 173 billion U.S. dollars, Lionsgate is 40 billion U.S. dollars, and Legendary Pictures is 15 billion U.S. dollars. Knife, there is a big gap with the top three.

Affected by this wave of listing dividends, Xiahua Studio8, a new company established by Xiahua Film and Television in North America, was merged into Xiahua North America's business, and its valuation also soared to US$100 billion.

This is the benefit of being backed by a big company.

Lionsgate has been developing for so many years, and it has only developed by making movies, and its market value is only 40 billion US dollars.

However, due to the acquisition and merger of Xiahua Film and Television, Studio8's valuation has increased by 2 times from 50 million US dollars in just one and a half years since its establishment.

Because of various things, Zhou Xia didn't even go to the Rasdaq to ring the bell. Xiahua's executives, Yaya, Tangtang, Sisi, Mina and other artists went there, so the operation of these markets He doesn't care too much about things, he mainly wants to grasp the overall situation.

During this period of time, the Spring Festival file that started on February 2 has already ended, and all the movies in that time frame have been released, and many new movies have been released one after another.

Among them, "Sword of Heaven", which was released on January 1, was the latest to go offline. It continued to be screened for three months, and it was not withdrawn from theaters until the end of April.

Even when it was off the assembly line that day, there were still about 4% of the films scheduled in theaters, and nearly 300 million box office was harvested.

The reason why the screening was postponed for two months is to learn the lesson of the first part of "Sword" which was screened in China for two months.

Generally, movies are screened in theaters for two months, and no one has watched them for a long time.

However, "Xianjian", a fairy tale movie with a lot of stars, a cheerful and relaxed plot, exquisite pictures, and magnificent special effects, has attracted many people who want to watch it for the second and third times, and even attract people of other age groups to enter the theater. Viewing.

This point can be explained from the fact that Xiahua Video, which later had the exclusive broadcasting rights, had 3 million members who bought the movie for 1941 yuan in the upper part of "Sword".

If the upper part of "Sword of Heaven" is shown in theaters for a period of time, even if there will not be as many as 941 million people watching the movie, even if there are one-third or one-fourth, it will still reap a box office of over 2 million yuan.

After three months of screening, the total box office of the second part of "Legend of Sword" just crossed the 70 billion mark when it was released at the end of April, narrowly beating the first part by more than 1.2 million.

Although it is only 1.2 million, it seems very small, but as the so-called end of the crossbow, you can't wear Lu Jin. In the later stage of release, let alone wanting to hit the box office of 1 million, even 1000 million will be even more difficult.

In addition to "Sword of Heaven", several other films of Xia Hua Film and Television, especially "Monster Hunt 1", finally had a total box office of 35.2 billion, far exceeding the 24.38 billion in that time and space.

Because of this movie, Tangtang's acting skills and box office appeal have once again been recognized by people in the industry.

She seems to have become the No. 80 among the top five actresses born in the 1s, suppressing Yaya, Xiaohu, Yufei, and Sisi.

Although the box office results of the others were no worse than Tangtang's, they didn't have any heavyweight movie awards, so they were naturally not as recognized in the industry as she was.

Moreover, since Tangtang filmed "2011 Days of Broken Relationship" in 33, her follow-up films such as "Painted Skin 2" and "Starting Line" have gained her a lot of recognition, which can be regarded as accumulated income over the years.

The other "Heart Blossoms on the Road" directed by Ning Hao had a final box office of 15.6 billion, which was more than 4 million higher than the original box office.

In the same period, the other two films "Havoc in Heaven" and "Heavenly Lion" invested and announced by Xiahua Film and Television, although not well-received, but because of their unique market, the box office is also not bad. Exceeded the box office of the original time and space

"Havoc in Heaven" finally earned 12.3 billion, and "Heavenly Lion" earned 8.5 million.

As for the other films in the same period, except for "The Wind and Cloud 2" which was slightly better, and finally earned more than 4 million box office, "Wolf Totem" did not even exceed 2 million.

The tragic Spring Festival file has already ended, but the Spring Festival file is still warming up because of several strong films, and it is still warming up.

In particular, the postponement of the screenings of "Sword of Heaven" and "Monster Hunt" has made the deserted March and April schedules of previous years much better than the box office results of the same year.

In view of the tragic results of several other films colliding with several blockbuster films of Xia Hua Film and Television during the Spring Festival, many companies have also conducted reflections.

Instead of going head-to-head in this way, it is better to move the schedule to a later date and choose a time that can occupy the filming schedule.

The current market is not the same as it was four or five years ago. There is a certain amount of film scheduling. As long as the film is of high quality and has a good reputation, the audience will spontaneously promote the film.
