Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 244 The curtain of the fan economy is opened, and the new movie project is approved
In July, students began their summer vacation, and the most watched summer vacation in the film and television industry also kicked off.

In terms of movies, the most popular domestic movie is "Martial Arts".

Directed by the famous director Chen Kexin, starring Zhen Bullet, Jin Chengwu, and Tang Wei, and even went to Cannes, it naturally attracted much attention.

However, after the film was released, word-of-mouth was a mess, and the box office performance cannot be said to be bad, but considering the cost, it is estimated to be a loser.

The blockbuster failed, but in contrast, a low-budget horror film has outstanding performance and is eye-catching.

It was "Far Cry" starring Da Mimi. This movie is so bad that it is not even worth mentioning in itself, but it can't stand it. It opened the eyes of the entire movie circle and let people see what the fan economy is.

"Far Cry" invested about 400 million, a small cost among small costs. As a result, it scored 2400 million at the box office in three days, and directly recovered the cost. The attendance rate is also the first in the summer, and it can be called a dark horse.

The follow-up box office has been rising all the way, and it is estimated that it is likely to exceed nearly [-] million.

According to the calculation of the box office share, the crew of "Far Cry" is expected to make nearly 3000 million yuan for such a bad film.

Both the industry and the media are studying the "secret of success" of this kind of example of small and big, so they summed up the four words "fan economy".

After [Gongsuo Xinyu], Damimi became very popular, with more than 700 million fans on Weibo, and because of being scolded, the fans were extremely united.

There is quite a feeling that everyone will harm Da Mimi, and we must unite to support Da Mimi.

This kind of support is directly fed back to the box office of "Far Cry" starring Da Mimi.

Because a considerable proportion of Da Mi Mi's fans are primary and middle school students, there are cases where students drag their parents to watch horror movies, screaming in fright, but they just don't leave.

At the same time, there are still a large number of fans who jointly book the movie and watch the movie together, and some fans even watched it more than ten times in a row. Moreover, many fans organized and spontaneously sent posts to the crew to promote the movie on the Internet, adding heat to the topic of movie speculation.

This phenomenon of consumers not only spending money, but also working for celebrities for free has shocked the industry and opened their eyes.

According to media estimates, more than 60% of the box office of "Far Cry" is contributed by big honey fans.

The remaining 20% ​​is estimated to be the LSP who heard that a big honey is wearing a bikini and is going to the movie theater to criticize, and a considerable part is because the movie became popular and came to watch the excitement.

For the real audience of horror movies, 10% will be enough to support the sky.

On the one hand, it is a niche audience after all, and the audience is relatively small. On the other hand, domestic horror films are well known.

Da Mimi was so elated, and even wanted to secure a position as a first-line actress in one fell swoop.

To put it bluntly, celebrity is also a commodity, as long as your commodity can make money and bring benefits to everyone, your commercial value and status will not be low.

At the same time, various companies and even some external capital have begun to ponder whether the "box office miracle" of Damimi can be replicated.

If a low-budget horror film of hers is expected to exceed [-] million yuan, how much box office can Liu Shishi, who is not much worse than her, bring in.

What about Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang, who are more popular than her and have more fans on Weibo?
Some people have already begun to study the box office changes of Fan Xiaopang's previous films, but she debuted too early, and her reputation is already great. Even if there is a bonus, she is not as eye-catching as Da Mimi, a new movie star.

There are also some companies and capital who have taken a fancy to those popular Xiaosheng Xiaohua, wondering if they can try the water.

Not to mention, for Blue Whale alone, Nazha has three movie invitations, and Wei Yang has even more, and there are even some first-line big productions.

Wei Yang's feelings about this are very obvious. The new movie prepared by Blue Whale could only be said to be a project that the outside world is relatively optimistic about, but now it has become a favorite.

China Film, Shanghai Film, Huayi, Xingmei and many other companies have sent inquiries, or want to cooperate, or want to get a share, or recommend actors.

A big honey can make "Far Cry" nearly ten times, and they don't believe that Wei Yang can be worse than a big honey.

Even if it can only be doubled by 3 to 5 times, if the volume is sufficient, it will be a huge profit...

It can be said that this "Far Cry" has a poor reputation and the total box office is not high, but it has a far-reaching impact on the development of the entire domestic film.

It may even be the first step in the era of traffic and the opening of the fan economy.

From a long-term perspective, this is not a good thing for Chinese-language movies.

From a practical point of view, Wei Yang does not reject this change, because he is currently the largest traffic, and has close ties with multiple top streamers.

He didn't want to and couldn't stop it.

The film market is booming, and hot money from outside capital is desperately trying to squeeze into the circle. Although it is easy to go astray, it is also an opportunity. The outstanding practitioners of future generations and the continuous development and improvement of the film industry all started from this point.

Wei Yang has no intention of caring about the future, he only knows that Da Mimi is a dark horse trend, and his new movie can borrow momentum.

...

In mid-July, before the premiere of "Shanshan Is Coming", Blue Whale announced the upcoming first film, starring Wei Yang.
Other than that, no other information was leaked, but immediately there were a large number of calls to inquire about the news.

Blue Whale didn't say much, but said that the investment in the first film will not be too much, with a high probability of 3000-5000 million. Besides Wei Yang, some well-known actors will be invited to help out.

As for the director, we are still in contact for the time being, and the possibility of Wei Yang acting as the director himself is not ruled out.

Don't get me wrong, Wei Yang doesn't plan to change careers. Being a director is too tiring and he doesn't have that much time.

But for the first movie, Blue Whale Up and Down must want to get off to a good start, so naturally they have to do everything possible to increase gimmicks and attractiveness.

Wei Yang directing and acting himself is a big gimmick, and he is a senior producer and producer with experience in film and television production. He is not a pure rookie director. The audience is relatively more confident and will not treat him as a rookie director.

There is no need to worry about the quality of the shooting. Blue Whale still has several directors. Boss Wei is good at directing by name. Moreover, with his connections, it is not difficult to hire a famous director and producer to check.

In this way, there are gimmicks, and it can certainly offset the negative impact brought by this new director, without affecting the quality.

Unless a well-known director is hired, Boss Wei really wants to make a guest appearance as Director Wei this time.

There are a lot of people in the circle who are knowledgeable. Regardless of whether Wei Yang really wants to change careers and become a director, they are all aware of the impact behind this move.

The star director has played his card well, even more powerful than the star lead, and they have seen it more or less before.

At the same time, I also realized how delicious this cake in the new movie of Blue Whale is.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the film crew has just approved the project and the budget has not been made yet, so no less than ten film and television companies have expressed their willingness to participate in the investment.

Wei Yang also cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and directly drew a path.

Blue Whale owns 50%, and the remaining 50% is distributed to China Film, Shanghai Film, Emerald Shrimp and Light, Xingmei, Huayi and other companies at a price of 3500 million.

10% for each of the first three companies. After all, they are two big mountains + their own "financial owners".

As for the 50% share, more than half of the funds should be allocated, isn't it too particular.

In fact, to this extent, Wei Yang did not dare to push too hard considering that many companies are insiders.

And for individual companies, he didn't squeeze out, and paid according to the total budget, and the excess part was borne by other companies.

If there were no restrictions, Wei Yang let him let go of the operation, Jade Shrimp joined forces with several outside funders, and directly paid out all the funds for the film, and Blue Whale didn't spend a penny, and directly took half of the proceeds.

That's why Wei Yang sometimes feels very uncomfortable. To make a TV series, he has to fight with the platform, and to make a movie, he has to give up profits to the theaters.

If he had been born ten years earlier, he would have bought the bottom line to build theaters, set up a video website, even bought TVB, produced and sold it himself, so why bother with these people...

Wei Yang didn't even show the lineup and the script, but the 3500 million hits shocked the industry.

Just like this, there are still many film and television companies, slapping their thighs and regretting getting on the bus late and not catching up.

But it's understandable when you think about it, it's not been a day or two for these filmmakers to be greedy for Wei Yang.

It's a pity that Wei Yang has been filming TV series before, and there is no shortage of funds. He has a fixed partner and has a good relationship with the platform.

This time Wei Yang is finally making a movie, for the sake of sharing the cake with theaters and resources and connections, can everyone not grab it?

Besides, with so many points added together, each family only pays a few million on average, which is not a big deal at all. Even if Wei Yang's new movie pounces, there is no big loss.

So don't say it's 3500 million, just double it, in fact, it's just two more companies.

Now everyone is optimistic about Wei Yang and is willing to play with him. If the new movie hits, then it will be the other two in the future.

The industry was shocked, but artists with ideas had already started to act.

Regardless of whether Wei Yang is the director or not, the male lead definitely has no other role, but the female lead still has its share.

In the past, Wei Yang's female number one in TV dramas was very competitive, and basically remained at the level of Xiaohua. This time, when the movie was made, the big flowers also began to leave one after another.

Gao Yuanyuan, Xu Cainv, and Li Bingbing's team have all come to contact, International Zhang and Mr. Zhou are said to be watching, and even sister Zhiling, Zhang Yunu and other Hong Kong and Taiwan Huadans in Hong Kong and Taiwan have sent someone to inquire about the news.

But to say that the most positive one has to be Fan Xiaopang.

She has made a lot of movies in the past two years, but if she wants to talk about her achievements and influence, besides Tokyo Best Actress, the most worth mentioning are those red carpets.

The pinnacle of Fan Xiaopang's career can be said to be created by Wei Yang. In her heart, even putting aside those dewy relationships, Wei Yang's status is very high. She has always felt that this little man is very prosperous.

So she has been thinking about Wei Yang's new movie for a long time. If Wei Yang hadn't been coaxed by some kind of talk, she would probably have already killed the devil to sleep and serve Director Wei by now...
