Chapter 311: A Person with Great Merits Would Be Named City God After His Death in Ancient Times
With the strong rise of "Famous", the entire summer season has undergone new changes.
"Painted Skin 2", which has been in theaters for two weeks and has gotten increasingly bad reviews, has taken a back seat to "Search," which ranked third.
"Famous" has a stable daily average film scheduling rate of more than 30%, ranking first for several days in a row, and firmly dominating the movie market this week.
On July 12, the box office of "Famous" exceeded 100 million.
On July 14, the box office of "Fame" exceeded 200 million.
In the end, according to the box office statistics of "Famous" in its first week, it finally scored 253 million in box office, and successfully entered the top ten of the annual rankings.
However, not many people care about this list. There are so many movies from August to October, not to mention there is a Lunar New Year movie later.
Where it ranks in the year depends not only on the performance of "Famous", but also on the rankings of other movies.
At present, "Famous" is gaining momentum, but the following "Famous Man" and "Wu-Tang Code" are also about to be released, which will inevitably affect the box office to a certain extent.
The director of "Four Famous Catchers" is Chen Jiashang, and he filmed the first part of "Painted Skin", which is also a well-known martial arts IP.
The lineup includes popular youngster Deng Chao, popular actress Liu Tianxian, Naza, Cheng Zhongji, Wu Moubo and others are also not ordinary celebrities.
So judging from the obvious cards, this movie is actually capable of competing with the movies "Painted Skin 2", "Search" and "Famous".
In the end, due to negotiations between Wei Yang and Guangguang, "Four Famous Catchers" was chosen to be released in late July, which was regarded as the last big hit in July.
"Wudang: Code of Heaven and Earth" is a bit shabby in comparison, but the lead actor Zhao Wenzhuo is currently very popular because of "Zhao Zhen War", and Da Mimi is also very popular.
She is participating in the currently popular "Painted Skin 2". No matter how much credit she has, it cannot be ignored.
Therefore, this movie may not be as good as "The Four", but before it is released, everyone still needs to pay attention to it. Who knows whether it is a new dark horse.
It is conceivable that the box office trend of "Fame" in its second week and subsequent weeks will depend on the performance of these two movies.
However, regardless of subsequent performance, the actual box office of 253 million, based on a 38% share ratio, the film studio can get more than 93 million.
The actual shooting cost of "Famous" was only about 30 million. Even including publicity and distribution, it was only 50 million.
Even if the movie fails at the box office, the film studio will almost double the profit, not to mention that in addition to the box office, there are also many other benefits such as copyright, Internet, advertising, and offline.
Therefore, it is just an appetizer at the moment, and there will be a lot of profits in the future. When the investors from all sides settled the accounts, they all smiled, except Boss Wei who was more "disgusted".
"Even if the box office of the co-author reaches 500 million, I will only earn a few thousand dollars. It's just a small goal. Isn't there any profit?"
Wei Yang did the math himself. The profit margin was not as good as when he made a TV series, but that said, the smile on his face never broke.
People in the film industry have been asking around and found out that there are a few movies that can make money, and the returns are so huge.
There is a line in "Famous". Although it is a joke, it also illustrates the current situation in the film industry - nine out of ten projects fail, and commercial investment is normal.
This movie did not lose any money, but made money, even several times the profit. Based on this, Wei Yang is a favorite among people from all walks of life.
Besides, TV series are TV series and movies are movies!
At the moment, the main thing is to accumulate fame. When the market prospers and the total box office is easily in the billions, it will not be a lot at all.
The outside world has also begun to study the profits of "Famous" and wonder how much Boss Wei has made.
Money is an eternal topic!
The outside world's attention on how much money Wei Yang, a young self-made billionaire, earns is not inferior to the amount of gossip about which female celebrities he has been dating, and sometimes it is even slightly better.
After all, Wei Yang is a "veteran in flowers", and there are some specious scandals. They are just the characters have changed, and everyone has long been stale.
Unless there is some breakthrough development or a heavyweight target, it will trigger widespread discussion about breaking the circle.
And he is not the only one who is rumored to have scandals about celebrities. Everyone is interested in them, but making money is different.
Any celebrity can fall in love, but there are not many celebrities who are as crazy about making money as Wei Yang.
Moreover, his own experience of making a fortune is legendary. He started from scratch, is young and handsome, and most of the projects he operates are film and television projects that are well known to many people.
Full of gimmicks and attractiveness, it is naturally easy for everyone to pay attention to it, and even has a sense of accomplishment and substitution as if it were a wealthy person.
It is no exaggeration at all. Some people with a relatively high sense of substitution can be called the spiritual shareholders of Blue Whale.
They would even yell at Wei Yang and relevant senior officials because of the decisions made by some Blue Whale companies or the low profitability of certain projects, as if they were losing money.
Of course, most of them are just melon-eaters.
There is no special purpose, just to know how much money Wei Yang earns, just like many people are curious about the monthly salary of their next door neighbors and elementary school classmates.
However, after Wei Yang became rich, he rarely announced it to the outside world, and the outside world could only make rough estimates, which were not necessarily accurate and were sometimes refuted.
But TV dramas don’t know the contract and can’t calculate accurately. The box office data of the movie is really here.
The film's share ratio is relatively fixed, with the producer taking 38%. Depending on the specific situation, it may be more or less, but it's pretty much the same.
It's very simple to calculate this way!
Wei Yang gets 38 million for a box office of 100 million, 76 million for 200 million, and 114 million for 300 million. Add in other income and it will be more.
As for how the film's share is divided privately, they don't care. They all agree that Wei Yang gets the lion's share, or even all of it.
So, when Wei Yang was invited to attend the premiere of "The Four Famous Catchers".
The box office of "Famous" has exceeded 300 million, and Boss Wei is also considered to have made a small profit, and was asked about the funding arrangements in public by reporters.
"..."
Wei Yang was a little speechless, but the eyes of the audience were hot, regardless of gender.
This is 100 million!
If you win 5 million lottery tickets in one day, considering taxes, it will take more than a month to get it together.
This blessing, building a fire station next to the ancestral tomb is not enough, at least two reservoirs are needed...
"Well, I have to explain that this profit is not mine alone. We have many investors and investors, and we only get a part of it."
"Moreover, this part belongs to the assets of Blue Whale Company, and I can't use it at will."
But this obviously can't fool the reporter, but now it's not his home court, so he doesn't have to face the reporter all the time. After dealing with it for a few words, someone will naturally help him out.
When he came to the stage, Wei Yang sighed, and the boss Wang of Guangguang who came to entertain him teased him.
"Are you not happy to make money?"
"A big tree attracts the wind."
Wei Yang doesn't like to show off his wealth, showing off his wealth means trouble, but his identity is special, and there are too many people watching him, so he can't hide it just because he wants to.
"Brother Wang, let's do a charity aid event later. Is your company interested?"
Boss Wang was stunned and understood what was going on. Don't show off your wealth, but if you really can't hide it, then spend money to avoid disaster.
Doing charity is a relatively cost-effective method, and for a cultural and entertainment company like them, the effect is quite significant and there are many benefits.
This is not the first time that Wei Yang has done charity.
Apart from the small-scale charity work when he was not famous or just became famous in the early years, he started to do charity on a large scale after 2010.
It is mainly education and medical care, and the recipients of the assistance are poor children in mountainous areas, patients with financial difficulties, and some elderly, weak, sick and disabled people.
Last year, at the beginning of 2011, Wei Yang, in the name of himself and Blue Whale, jointly with relevant units in Shanghai and some enthusiastic companies and individuals, initiated the establishment of a special charity organization [Sunflower Charity Association].
Wei Yang himself serves as the honorary chairman and is the largest funder of the entire charity.
In less than two years, the Sunflower Charity Association has helped a large number of children and poor patients in mountainous areas.
The total investment in funds and materials is worth more than 30 million, including the establishment of two Hope Primary Schools named [Sunflower] and the funding of corresponding medical equipment for two poor county hospitals.
At the same time, the organization has also carried out many public welfare activities and helped a lot of non-economic help.
Apart from other things, with Wei Yang's influence, he can bring a lot of attention to these children and patients.
And these attentions can often be transformed into some support and continuous funding, so this is why calling on public figures to do charity, the benefits brought by their influence may even be more effective than those actual economic help.
After all, if you donate 100,000 yuan, you can only pay for medical expenses, and it may not necessarily cure the patient.
And if Wei Yang exerts his influence, he may attract the attention of authoritative experts and large hospitals. People come for treatment for various purposes, and maybe the patient will be saved, and the medical expenses will be reduced, which is impossible to do by donating money.
It's a pity that Wei Yang is too busy and can't do charity every day. In addition, he is too rich and famous, and it is easy to be criticized for shouting without spending money.
So for Wei Yang, the simplest and most worry-free way is to donate money.
Eighteen million a year is nothing to him, but there are many things he can do and many benefits in return.
Therefore, Wei Yang does not reject charity, and he is getting more and more adept at it. Now he even does charity whenever he shows off his wealth. He occupies the moral high ground before others think about it.
I donate eight figures a year, call for and participate in at least a dozen public welfare activities, help and rescue countless poor children and patients, and have great merits.
In ancient times, he could be called a great good man, and he might even be named the God of the City or the God of the Land after his death.
Who do you think you are?
How much money have you donated, how many people have you saved, what charity and public welfare have you participated in, and you dare to complain to me?
When you encounter moral kidnapping, the best way is to give them the same treatment.
If you happen to be standing on the moral high ground, then you can criticize gods if gods stand in your way, and criticize Buddha if Buddha stands in your way...
