This Star Wants To Retire

Chapter 468: Not crazy, not live

Treasure Island, in a large flat.

Zheng Jing, the director of "Casino Game", is holding a tablet computer, checking the real-time box office of Spring Festival movies.

Many of the current APPs provide very detailed data.

Not only can you check the cumulative total box office of the movie, you can also check the box office of the film side.

This so-called sharing of accounts between parties is the money that Luo Mo and others can get. .

Generally speaking, it is in the range of 30 to 40%.

Zheng Jing looked down all the way and looked at the various data, and felt very unhappy in his heart.

Especially in the column of [Media Premiere Prediction Box Office], it's a headache to look at.

The data written here is the final box office results predicted by the media when the movie premiered.

"Casino Game", the initial media forecast was 2.5-2.7 billion.

"But from the current situation, it is difficult to break 2 billion." Zheng Jing thought to himself.

On the other hand, "Dragon Detective", the [media premiere forecast box office] is 1.6-1.8 billion, but because its reputation is much better, now the audience is more interested in suspenseful movies,

The box office may not be able to overtake "Casino Central Game" in the later stage!

Zheng Jing was actually not surprised by this kind of counterattack.

As one of the leading directors of Baodao and one of the representatives of Hong Kong films, he has also made many films and successfully counterattacked.

And they are all commercial films that are low-cost and shoot in one or two months in a quick shooter mode.

From a certain point of view, Zheng Jing's past is a bit like a fat man surnamed Wang on earth.

The output and efficiency are astonishing.

It's just that there are obvious differences in how people behave and in personality.

"But this "The Return of the Great Sage"..." Zheng Jing really couldn't understand it.

[Media Premiere Predicted Box Office] It's only 260-300 million, but today it has surpassed 100 million in a single day with 14% of the films scheduled!

Its cumulative box office, plus those pre-sale, has already broken the 300 million mark!

In the end, the bottom line is seven or eight billion.

This is no longer a small counterattack, it's scary, right?

The most outrageous thing is that a piece of the soundtrack in the movie is now called a god-level soundtrack, and it has also been labeled as a "hundred-year classic".

A century-old classic, what is the concept?

Is this a movie specially made for this soundtrack?

Zheng Jing felt that his brain was not enough, he had never encountered such a strange operation.

This is an unconventional play...

Zheng Jing is a very pure commercial director. The first purpose of his filmmaking is to make money for everyone.

Make money yourself, investors make money, and theaters make money. Anyway, it's over!

As for whether the reputation is good or not, this has never been his biggest pursuit, and it may even not be his pursuit at all.

In his eyes, Luo Mo was a complete anomaly.

Regardless of the cost or risk, it is already crazy to spend 150 million production costs to make an animation movie.

There are actually more weird operations in the follow-up, which are confusing.

Zheng Jing lit a cigarette. With his usual urination, he is likely to make some remarks, and then frantically grab the popularity of "The Return of the Great Sage".

Treasure Island has always been good at this.

Whether it's to rub off on the popularity or to make a gimmick, let's not say it's a powerful one, let's just say that the format of the headlines given by the Blue Star Hong Kong media is exactly the same as on Earth.

For example, when Xiong Dailin and Aaron Kwok were still in love, they went to his house for a day and a half, and the title taken out by the Hong Kong media was "Xiong Dailin Massacres the City for 33 Hours".

There is even a special vocabulary for Guo Tianwang's girlfriend - Siege of the City.

Do you think this is considered a loss?

Later, Aaron Kwok married his son, and the headline of the Hong Kong media on the same day was "Aaron Kwok Marries Fang Yuan with Stuffing".

Of course, Milk Tea Lun, who has always been in the ascendant, has not escaped.

Once, he just bought a new large locomotive and found a remote place for a test drive. After being photographed, the title was "Jay Chou Riding a New Love in the Dark Alley".

Seriously, it's not just Zheng Jing who wants to do things. Most of the films in the Spring Festival archives really want to do things about "The Return of the Great Sage".

It's a pity that it was publicly performed by five special media, and it was also on "News Network".

You can fight each other, but... do you try "The Return of the Great Sage"?

It's not that no one has a crooked idea, it's really that they don't dare.

On the contrary, the first brother of the former domestic animation film "Legend of the Red Dragon" released a congratulatory poster called "Double Dragons Playing Pearls" on the early morning of the fifth day of the new year.

In the poster, the red dragon is drawn, as well as the little white dragon in "The Return of the Great Sage", and several large characters are written on the beads - congratulations to "The Return of the Great Sage" for breaking 100 million at the box office in a single day!

Everyone has long been tired of seeing those dirty things, but in fact, it will only increase the resentment of netizens.

Some people play this kind of Seven Wounds Boxing, in fact, they just want to drag others into the water.

Something like "Legend of the Red Dragon" is good, isn't it?

Time passed quickly, and in the next few days, "The Return of the Great Sage" was unstoppable.

The number of films will increase a little every day, and the single-day box office results have always been stable at the same time.

More than 100 million!

The entire animation industry has been shaken a bit numb.

1. "I am numb"!

Finally, the cumulative box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" is infinitely close to that of "Dragon Castle".

Many anime people have been waiting for this day for two years.

Two years ago, "Dragon Castle" was released around the world, and in the Huaxia region alone, it won a box office of more than 600 million.

This achievement made the Chinese animation people fall into silence one after another.

At the same time, there has also been a lot of cynicism on the Internet.

Many people have wondered, is it possible that a domestic animation film will break the record of "Dragon Castle" one day?

But two years passed in a flash, and it was still so high and unattainable.

This floating castle makes all the anime people in China look up at it.

Seriously, "Dragon Castle" was a great success. After it exploded in China, it also inspired the ambitions of many domestic cartoonists and changed their mentality.

At the same time, many investors have also focused on domestic animation movies. Before the release of many movies, they have also played something similar to [Comparable to the Production of Dragon Castle].

Slogans such as [Aspire to overtake the Dragon's Castle].

But the result is... the box office may only be a fraction of other people's.

Investors lost everything.

The flames in many people's hearts were extinguished.

A large number of investors are no longer staring at this market, and many projects are directly difficult to produce, and they withdraw their capital in the middle.

"We are still looking up at it." He Yuanguang once told Luo Mo this.

"Once our ambitions were motivated to try to chase it."

"But the more desperately you run, the more desperate you will be."

"Because when you are exhausted, you will suddenly find that you thought it was very close to you, but it is actually so unattainable."

"Wangshan is a dead horse!"

This is the status quo of the animation industry in the past two years.

The situation is very embarrassing.

Because of "Dragon Castle", investors are more willing to increase the investment amount than before.

But if you die, that's an extra 20% to 30%.

Who doesn't want to be big with a little bounty?

If you want to double the investment, it is not as good as other types of films, and the risk is even lower.

"You didn't invest in this project before, but now I have invested the money. You told me that you wanted to add more money, and you wanted to play bigger waves. It's a joke!"

"What are you doing? Others show it globally, we only show it domestically, big brother!"

"Do you understand the risk, my money is coming from the wind?"

Not going up or down is actually very meaningless.

Many Chinese cartoonists began to deliberately forget this movie.

Including He Yuanguang when talking with Luo Mo about the box office status of animation movies, he only said

"Legend of the Red Dragon" did not mention "Dragon Castle".

He only took "Legend of the Red Dragon" as an example, and told Luo Mo that investing 150 million yuan was a craze, and it was a top craze.

Then, a top craze was born.

-Not crazy, not live!

Give me a **** life again!

On the eighth day of the new year, at 8:24 pm.

"The Return of the Great Sage" has a cumulative box office of over 700 million, ranking first in the history of Chinese animation films.
