c692 Book the annual crown? Mist Theater’s reputation declines

The Spring Festival movies have been released for a month and are being released one after another.

Only “The Wandering Earth” was postponed and will continue to be released for one month.

One month after its release, the single-day box office of “The Wandering Earth” could reach 8 million.

The total box office has also exceeded 4.6 billion.

According to this box office data, as long as there is no dark horse that is a big hit this year, there is a high probability that this year’s annual box office champion will be booked.

Delayed for one month, the subsequent box office should still be tens of millions, and the final box office will be around 4.7 billion.

This box office data is already the highest box office data in three years.

Therefore, many entertainment media are issuing press releases, believing that “The Wandering Earth” has been scheduled to win the year.

Moreover, the news headlines are very eye-catching, because if we win the championship again this year, it will be the third consecutive championship.

[Three years ago, Fang Xing returned to the big screen. Three years later, he is about to win three consecutive box office awards of the year. 】

[What kind of magic power does he have? He can dominate all three fields of film, television and singing. 】

[“The Wandering Earth” has opened a new era in Chinese film history. Science fiction movies are no longer an untouchable subject. 】

[It only took three years for a new director to win three consecutive annual box office awards. 】

[Already won the Best Actor in a Movie, Fang Xing is still short of the Best Director trophy. 】

[Fang Xing personally admitted that there will be a second part of “The Wandering Earth”. Can the sequel continue the legend? 】

…

The release of “The Wandering Earth” is coming to an end, but the promotional work is not completely over yet.

Because after the original release, it was also released on online platforms.

The movie’s online release also brings in a lot of money.

After all, not every viewer has time to go to the cinema.

During the Spring Festival, there will still be many viewers who do not have time to go to the cinema due to work, holiday life and other reasons.

And by the time, “The Wandering Earth” is about to be released.

Although “The Wandering Earth” was postponed for a month, in fact, by the second month, there were very few films scheduled.

After all, there will be new movies released, and most of the viewers who want to see them have already seen them. It is impossible for theaters to schedule so many movies for “The Wandering Earth”.

By the second month, the number of scheduled films will only account for less than 10%, and there will be fewer prime time shows in the evening.

This schedule of films will become less and less as time goes by.

Because even if some viewers want to watch it, there may not be suitable venues.

Therefore, some viewers will wait until it is released online before watching it on video websites.

In addition, some viewers are considering surfing video websites for a second time.

If you watch it in a cinema, you may not understand some details, but on a video website, you can watch it repeatedly, and the price will be much cheaper than in a cinema, making it more suitable for second or third viewing.

When “The Wandering Earth” was about to be released, Ark Culture cooperated with major video websites to promote it online.

The starring actors will participate in online promotional activities on video websites during the online premiere.

In addition, there are also discounts on movie peripherals.

According to the total box office of “The Wandering Earth” of 4.7 billion, the share that the film producer can get will probably be around 1.7 billion.

In addition to the proceeds from online screenings, there are also sales of movie peripherals.

The final profit of “The Wandering Earth” will be around 2 billion.

With an investment of 500 million and a return of 2 billion, the company that invested in “The Wandering Earth” can be said to have made a lot of money.

As a result, Ark Culture’s valuation in the investment industry has reached 30 billion.

Not only Ark Culture, but its subsidiary Nebula Special Effects has also become famous.

Because the special effects of “The Wandering Earth” were made by Nebula Special Effects.

The special effects technology upgrade was completed, and the first film produced achieved such great success.

When Sun Jianqi saw “The Wandering Earth” sweeping the Spring Festival box office at the box office, he had to sigh. Fortunately, he chose Nebula special effects.

If I had chosen to go to the special effects company of InBev Films, I am afraid that I would still be making popcorn movies like “Dark Civilization” now.

As a special effects artist, Sun Jianqi also has pursuits and ideals.

Who would want to make a bad movie if they could?

Of course, whether a movie is a bad movie or not, the special effects company actually plays a very small role in it.

What the special effects company can decide is whether to make a bad movie with great special effects or a bad movie with equally bad special effects.

Whether a movie is a bad movie or not depends more on the creative team.

Obviously, “The Wandering Earth” succeeded.

Sun Jianqi made the right choice twice.

Nebula Special Effects also made a name for itself in the special effects industry with “The Wandering Earth”.

Since the release of “The Wandering Earth”, more and more film and television companies are looking for Nebula special effects cooperation, and there are even three or four film and television projects waiting to be done.

The valuation of Nebula Special Effects in the investment industry has also reached 8 billion.

…

Finished the promotion work for the online release of “The Wandering Earth”.

The film will be released soon on all major video platforms across the Internet.

After the movie is released online, there is an additional charge, and the price is 5 yuan.

One month after it is released on the Internet, it will be converted to free for members, and members will get a share of the accounts to maximize profits.

Since “The Wandering Earth” is not an exclusive broadcast on Wandou Video, Wandou Video has not received an exclusive broadcast on Ark Culture dramas for some time.

However, Fang Xing is also the second largest shareholder of Wandou Video, so he will still take more care of it when it is released online.

So when “The Wandering Earth” was released online, the crew held an online event on Pea Video.

The event was a success, with sales of movie peripherals totaling 20 million that day.

After the event.

Gong Jianbin, chairman of Wandou Video, even came to celebrate in person.

Later, Gong Jianbin took Fang Xing to drink tea.

“Brother Fang, the work on “The Wandering Earth” is also over. When will we arrange a suspense film for our website? The reputation of the Mist Theater last year was not very good. If there are no good dramas in the Mist Theater in the first quarter of this year, the skylight will be opened. .” Gong Jianbin took Fang Xing’s hand and earnestly asked for the TV series.

The Mist Theater specializes in suspense dramas.

This special theater was created by Fang Xing with “White Night” and “The Dark One”, and these two dramas have also become the ceiling of Fog Theater.

There are also subsequent suspense dramas with good reputations, but no suspense drama has surpassed “White Night” in terms of reputation and broadcast volume.

Fang Xing not only created the Mist Theater brand, but also directly built the ceiling.

In the follow-up Mist Theater, Ark Culture will produce a suspense drama every year.

According to the drama broadcast plan of Mist Theater, one suspense drama will be broadcast every quarter.

Therefore, Wandou Video needs to find three more suspense dramas to be broadcast in the Mist Theater.

Of course, if you can buy more excellent suspense dramas, you can broadcast one or two more.

However, Mist Theater has become a special theater with a good reputation. If a low-quality play is put into the theater, it will only cause the quality of this special theater to plummet and affect the audience’s confidence in Mist Theater.

Therefore, Wandou Video strictly controls the requirements for suspense dramas in the Mist Theater.

Sometimes, it’s not easy to put together four dramas in a year.

“Mr. Gong, how can I have time to film a drama now?” Fang Xing laughed.

Of course Gong Jianbin understands. Now that Fang Xing’s movies have achieved such great success, no one else has the time or energy to focus on TV series.

However, Gong Jianbin had no intention of letting Fang Xing take the photo himself from the beginning.

He just wanted Fang Xing to work part-time and have his director shoot the film, or he could work with an outside director.

“I think it’s okay for Directors Zhang and Wang to come and film it. As long as Brother Fang controls the quality of the drama, I’m confident that it will be a hit.” Gong Jianbin is so confident in Fang Xingke now.

Ever since Fang Xing entered the TV drama industry, no drama has been a blockbuster.

It can even be said that Fang Xing’s lower limit is the upper limit that other film and television companies have been pursuing.

Zhang Yigao’s “The Three-Body Problem” has been airing for some time, and it really needs a new project.

The same goes for Wang Yutao.

Since filming “Do You Know”, Wang Yutao has not made any independent feature films and has always been an executive director in movies.

Although Wang Yutao is very willing to serve as executive director for Fang Xing, no director would not want to guide independently.

Gong Jianbin continued: “Moreover, last year’s Misty Theater had poor results. The worst-performing drama had a rating as low as 5.7. It was because the film selection department did not do a good job and chose a drama of poor quality.

“Speaking of which, the work pressure was also high. There were really no suitable suspense dramas last year, so I put the dramas I could get on hand into the Fog Theater, and the result was a bit of a bad reputation.

“So this year, Fog Theater must come up with one or two excellent suspense dramas that can save its reputation.

“Otherwise, the Mist Theater created by Brother Fang will fall into my hands.”

Gong Jianbin began to sell poorly, but in fact the playback volume of Mist Theater last year was not low. After all, it is a special theater with a golden reputation.

In the suspense drama market, Wandou Video’s Mist Theater is already the only one that exists.

Therefore, even though a suspense drama with a poor reputation was broadcast last year, the number of broadcasts was not bad, but it did disappoint many viewers and began to doubt the standard of Mist Theater.

Even last year, many drama critics, UP owners, complained about one point when doing their year-end review:

[The Mist Theater without Fang Xing has lost its original light. 】

[The Mist Theater was so amazing at first, but it was so disappointing last year. 】

[It seems that the Mist Theater will have magical power only if it is engraved with Fang Xing’s name. 】

There are many similar videos of UP hosts complaining about the performance of Mist Theater last year.

Of course, Mist Theater’s reputation has only declined, and it has not completely caused the audience to lose confidence.

Wandou Video’s drama performance last year was pretty good, but it wasn’t as impressive as when Fang Xing was filming the drama.

When the light given by God fades, ordinary things will always return.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, “Okay, I will work part-time in one or two suspense dramas this year. The specific projects will depend on the situation.”

“That’s great, brother Fang, I know I saw you right.” Gong Jianbin immediately hugged Fang Xing excitedly, feeling that the conversation was very pleasant.

In fact.

Gong Jianbin feels that Fang Xing is the most talkative person in the entertainment industry. As long as he can talk well, he can really surprise people.

When he first decided to trade 20% of Pea Video shares to Fang Xing, he was actually a little worried.

However, after working together for the past few years, he knew very well that Fang Xing’s contribution to Wandou Video’s current achievements was huge.

It can be said that making Fang Xingxing the second largest shareholder of Wandou Video is the most successful of all his strategic cooperations.

After talking about the suspense drama, Fang Xing remembered another thing and said, “By the way, before filming the suspense drama, there is another work. Does Mr. Gong want to broadcast it?”

“What work?” Gong Jianbin was immediately interested. Now, as long as it is done by Fang Xing, he will not let it go, even if it is a commercial.

“There is an animation. The first season is almost finished. If Mr. Gong is interested, find time to go to Nebula Animation to check it out. If Mr. Gong is not interested, then give it to Mr. Li from Penguin Video.” Fang Xing said this. When it comes to understatement.

Mr. Li of Penguin Video is naturally referring to Li Xueying.

Since Li Xueying became the president of Penguin Video, she has been strengthening her cooperation with Ark Culture and obtained a lot of film and television resources from Wandou Video.

“Okay, I’ll take people to Nebula Animation in two days to have a look. Is it a cartoon produced by Nebula Animation?” Gong Jianbin didn’t know what it was yet.

“You will know when the time comes.”

Fang Xing was indeed looking for a broadcast platform for this cartoon.

However, it doesn’t matter which platform it is broadcast on, there is not much difference.

Fang Xing didn’t reveal the specific details of the cartoon.

In fact, the animation style of this cartoon is a bit crude, not because of low production level, but because of the style.

Moreover, the subject matter of this cartoon is a bit sensitive.

Fortunately, there was an animated short film before and it was broadcast as a MV on Donghai TV, so it went through the review process much more smoothly.

…

After the “Filmmaker” interview was broadcast, there have been no rumors about the second part of “The Wandering Earth”.

Even within Ark Culture, this topic will be discussed.

After all, “The Wandering Earth” has a box office of 4.7 billion, which is too dazzling. If there is a second film, it can be expected that the results will not be bad.

Therefore, there will be employees in the company asking the management when to arrange “The Wandering Earth 2”.

However, even the management does not know whether there is “The Wandering Earth 2”, let alone when the project will be launched.

So far, regarding the news about “The Wandering Earth 2”, only Fang Xing has mentioned it in interviews, and there is no other news.

Even Qiao Yinghong couldn’t help but asked when reporting on work: “Boss, when will preparations for the “Wandering Earth 2″ project begin?”

After all, it was mentioned on “Filmmaker”. There must be something said on this kind of talk show.

“There’s no hurry yet. Movie projects need time to settle. After the regular work meeting next Monday, we will hold a meeting to discuss new projects and let the management participate. In addition, Mr. Gong from Pea Video will go to Nebula Animation in two days to watch the newly completed animation series. , you will arrange for someone to receive him when the time comes.” Fang Xing arranged his work and was busy working on the script of the suspense drama.
