Chapter 191 Copyright is sold again!
The distribution rights for Hong Kong Island are in the hands of Van Loong, so naturally we will do our best to distribute it!
It earned 2100 million in its first week and almost made it into the top ten of the box office charts!
It is only 300 box office away from the tenth-placed "Cast Away". There is no doubt that this movie co-produced with Chen An will surpass his previous film "The Spy"!
The top of the list is naturally "Shaolin Soccer", directed and acted by Stephen Chow.
This time, Fang Long's "Time and Space Clue" hit the market strongly, earning 2100 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week. The media called it "Two Zhou Yicheng, Zhou Runfa fled far away, and Zhou Yicheng stood up again!"
This time, "Shaolin Soccer" has brought a glimmer of life to the declining Hong Kong entertainment industry with its box office of 6047 million.
The nonsensical comedy that they originally criticized and mocked Stephen Chow for only being able to hang around in Hong Kong Island has now become the flag bearer.
Amid the rampage of Hollywood blockbusters, it has retained its top spot on the box office charts and has also been a hot seller overseas, disproving previous claims that his films cannot go beyond Hong Kong Island!
And this time, Fang Long’s strong attack seemed to make them see the original scenery again.
But when I heard the news that the mainland’s revenue exceeded 100 million in just eight days, I realized that we had been left behind by the mainland!
"This is incredible. It's already over 100 million in just eight days. Chen An is indeed the best director in the country. Seeing that his own film 'My Sassy Girl' hadn't broken the box office record, he decided to take action himself. It's already over 100 million in just eight days!"
"With the $60 million from North America, I wonder if the global box office can break $100 million?"
"It's certain that it will break 100 million. Right now, this is just statistics from two places, the mainland and North America. In this case, it is estimated that the film will be released in Europe, East Asia and other places in the future. Let's see if it can break the box office record of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"
"It is a rare movie in China. I couldn't believe the quality of the movie when I first saw it. The rhythm, picture and music are so good. I feel that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon can't compare to it at all."
"Come on, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon won four Oscars, made over 100 million in North America, and made over 200 million worldwide. How can that compare?"
After the record of breaking 100 million in eight days appeared, netizens also changed their discussion from the plot to whether it could break the box office record of "My Sassy Girl", and finally turned to whether it could break the global box office record of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
What they are most interested in now is whether it can become the highest-grossing Chinese-language film.
Most of them prefer "A Moment to Remember" to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". You can tell from the box office. There's only a one-year difference, and the box office of 15 million is nothing compared to the one that broke 100 million in eight days.
Even the box office of 1970 million on the second day was more than his.
After the box office exceeded 100 million yuan, the box office that had exceeded 10 million yuan for eight consecutive days also fell.
But this is just the beginning. It’s only been nine days since the film was released, and it’s still grossing millions a day. In less than half a month, it will break the previous record of 139 million set by "My Sassy Girl".
Now, cinemas have added the words "Breaking 100 million in eight days!" on the posters of "Time and Space Clues" to attract more people to watch it.
Although it is not as good as the situation at the beginning when the cinema was packed with people and scalpers dared to ask for hundreds of dollars to grab the tickets, it is still the most popular movie at the moment.
There is still a constant stream of people coming to watch the movie!
Moreover, as many people on the Internet have been arguing over the details of the film from morning to night, and some have even started cursing at each other out of anger, some people have become more curious about whether it is really that suspenseful?
As a result, the box office revenue reached tens of millions again during the second weekend!
"Brother, we are sure to make a lot of money this time. Chen An has already contacted Sony and informed us that we will go to China Film to sell the copyright of the disc!"
Huang Zhonglei excitedly rushed into his brother's office, opened the door and spoke loudly.
Huang Zhongjun pushed his glasses and nodded to show that he understood. The current box office forecast has exceeded 200 million. The box office alone can make back the investment. If the disc copyright is sold, Huayi will make another fortune.
Even though he paid a premium of two million US dollars for only 10% of the shares, he still made more money than Feng Xiaogang made from a single movie. "I really have to work with Chen An. I made more money than before even though I was expecting to lose money."
"The overseas box office is so good, I guess the disc copyright will not be low." "Yeah, it's a pity that we make the least money." Huang Zhongjun sighed.
Even he himself can make a lot of money with a premium of 2 million US dollars, so how much must others make? Let’s not talk about Chen An for now. China Film Group is undoubtedly the one that benefits the most this time.
Whether it's the money he made or the impact the movie had on him.
After two weeks of release, the movie broke the box office record of "My Sassy Girl" and reached a box office record of 167 million!
It won’t be long before Chinese-language films enter a new chapter in the 200 million box office era!
The success of this movie has made countless investors want to get involved, and the era of blockbusters is about to begin!
And "Hero", which originally opened this era, will become the stabilizer of the blockbuster era!
At this time, several major film producers gathered at China Film again, and Sony people also arrived as scheduled.
"Fok, I think this movie didn't disappoint you, right?" Chen An shook his hand and said with a smile as soon as they met.
Fok also had a smile on his face, "Of course Chen, every time I work with you, I'm never disappointed. This time, not only in North America, but also in Little Days, it was a huge success, earning more than 6 million US dollars in just one week after its release."
Sony has already calculated the box office of Little Days, after all, it is a local film.
"That's good. I'll be happy if you succeed. This way we can ensure that our next cooperation will continue to go smoothly." Chen An said some polite words before starting the negotiation.
This time the box office potential has already been revealed, and the conversation between the two sides is not the same as it was in the beginning.
Sony bid 27 million to acquire the audio-visual DVD rights of the movie "A Clue" except for China.
This type of film with a suspenseful plot has always been second only to horror films in sales in the video tape market.
It can be seen from the previous exchanges of movie details between people on the Internet that the people who were arguing about the movie were not those who had watched it once, but those who had bought tickets to watch it more than three times.
I was so angry that I went to watch it again.
Although Chen An felt that the offer was a bit low, it wasn't much different, so he agreed to it.
The two parties also signed a contract here and the deal was completed at a price of US$2700 million.
Han Sanping was very happy after waiting for Fok to leave the dinner table. The producers made a fortune this time!
Not counting the box office, Han Sanping earned 720 million US dollars from the two copyright sales. That’s a lot of US dollars!
Even the two Huayi brothers, who paid a premium of US$150 million, received US$ million!
The business, which was originally operating at a loss, has already earned tens of millions of RMB, not counting the box office!
Needless to say, Chen An earned 20 million US dollars from the two copyright sales alone!
At the dinner table, Chen An was the center of attention and was praised to the skies by everyone.
This is the first time I feel that making a movie can be so profitable, with each party earning tens of millions of RMB.
And the next day.
This piece of news once again appeared on the headlines of major media!
'The overseas disc copyright of Chen An's new film "Time and Space Clues" hit a new high, selling for 2700 million US dollars, nearly 1.8 million! Several major producers made a lot of money, and the era of Chinese-language blockbusters has officially arrived! '
The news shocked the entire country, both inside and outside the industry.
Is this the current situation of the film industry, which was not very profitable to begin with?
The last sale of distribution rights has already paid off, and this time it is basically profitable, plus the current box office, is it because of the big production that it is so popular?
Resume update brothers, thanks for the votes!!!
