Hollywood starts with animation

In a blink of an eye, it was July 22.

"Fruit Candies" has already been screened in theaters for the first weekend. Although Zhu Ke and others have made great efforts and invested heavily in publicity and distribution, but there are no more than 300 screens, no matter what. Boom under high box office.

At the top of the box office rankings this weekend is the movie "Killing Hour", produced and released by Time Warner, and released at the same time as "Fruit Hard Candy", with a box office of 28.5 million US dollars in the first weekend;

Even though "Independence Day" has been shown in theaters for nearly 20 days, as the North American box office champion this year, it still has good box office potential. This weekend it again won US$27.35 million, ranking second;

"Courage under the Fire", published by 20th Century Fox, received $25 million at the box office this weekend, ranking third;

"Different Miracles", "The Fatty Professor", "The Evaporation Secret Order", "The Oddity of the Clock Tower" and other films, ranked fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth. The box office this weekend has exceeded 15 million US dollars; other films, such as "The Bad Ghost Informer", "The Big Wave", "Sunset Park" and other films, also got good box office this weekend.

"Fuck!"

"These Nima movies are the top 40 movies at the box office in North America this year. I take the lead to justify them!"

Zhuke gritted his teeth hard looking at the box office statistics.

$1.327 million!

That's right, this is the box office result of the first weekend of "Fruit Hard Candy"!

"Boss, there are huge crowds at the moment. Our "Fruit Hard Candy" has no advantage. This is also expected." Victor said.

Zhuke nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just talking about it. Anyway, we're going to be back."

Director Zach Schneider also breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as the film does not lose money, I can count on an explanation."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing that, Zhu Ke patted Zach on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Zach, congratulations, your first movie was a success. Well, apart from the box office, I can still make a profit in terms of DVD and video tape copyrights. Pen."

The box office of "Fruit Hard Candy" is indeed not high, but it's not too small when you think about it.

Man, it's a summer vacation with a lot of movies!

Even if many blockbusters have been shown in theaters for more than a week, or even two weeks, their appeal to audiences is still far greater than that of niche movies such as "Fruit Hard Candies", which can hit the box office of more than one million dollars. , Is already quite remarkable.

No way, the cost of "Fruit Hard Candy" is low!

The cost plus the publicity fee, including the copy of the movie, did not exceed $1.6 million.The box office of this film is estimated to be around US$5 million. The box office share alone is enough to pay back the cost. In addition, the licensing and copyright sales fees are all earned.

Even if you don't make a lot of money, it is still making money anyway.

Three films that were in preparation for the same period, now "Fruit Hard Candy" has been released, leaving only two films, "Fatal Turn" and "Juneo".

"Fatal Bend" is a plasma horror film, of course it will be released on the Halloween schedule;

"Juneo" is a youth comedy, a family carnival type of film. The film has not been finished yet and is expected to be released on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

"Boss, I have another good news to tell you." Victor said suddenly.

"Oh? What is it? Hurry up." Zhu Ke urged.

Zach Schneider on the side also showed interest.

Victor continued: "Boss, we won the online peripheral license of Independence Day some time ago, and the good news I want to say is this."

Hearing this, Zhu Ke said immediately: "Of course I remember that the 20th Century Fox group of vampires demanded me $1 million. Haha, I guess they must regret it now."

"Yes!" Victor smiled: "They must regret it. In less than 20 days, our cumulative sales of "Independence Day" peripheral products on Amazon has exceeded 5.5 million US dollars."

Happiness~!

Zhu Ke couldn't help but slapped his thigh, and said loudly, "Fox and the turtle grandchildren are dumbfounded. It's not easy to take advantage of Lao Tzu."

Zach on the side couldn't help asking: "That said, you can definitely make a lot of money."

Victor nodded and smiled: "It's not how much money you make, but you can make a lot of money. It is expected that by the end of this month, "Independence Day" online peripheral products will bring at least $2 million in profits to the company."

When the voice fell, even if Zach didn't understand, he knew that Wald Pictures was going to make a fortune!

The profit in the first month can be as high as 2 million US dollars. In the following time, although the popularity of "Independence Day" will gradually decline, Wald Pictures will definitely be able to reap a lot of dollars in the two-year authorization period.

Zhuke is getting rich!

The ancients said: "Fortune is unparalleled, misfortune never comes singly", Zhu Ke thinks it makes sense.

Because of the global copyright of "Talent Show", finally registered successfully!

This will also mean that Zhu Ke dug into a gold mine again.

"Victor, you immediately arrange for someone to go to the UK, to the BBC, and talk to them about the copyright of "The Talent Show"." Zhu Ke said immediately.

"Okay, boss."

Victor responded and left the office and set about arranging people to go to England.

Zach asked curiously: "Mr. Wald, what does the "Go Talent" copyright mean? Is it a new movie?"

Zhuke shook his head and smiled: "Zuck, how many times have you said it, just call me Zhuke. As for "The Got Talent", it is not a movie, but a variety show planned by me, which I intend to sell to the BBC.

"Oh......"

Zach said he knew, but he witty did not ask any more questions.

Damn it!

He didn't ask any more, but suffocated Zhu Ke's blood.

Brother, why don't you ask, I haven't performed yet!

You do this, how can I pretend to be forced!

Obviously, Zach Schneider can't imagine how much benefit "Go Talent" will bring to Zhuke.

Hundreds of millions of dollars!

.......

at the same time.

In a certain office of Fox in the 20th century, two people were gnashing their teeth and cursing Zhu Ke for being kind.

"The online peripheral products of "Independence Day" sold nearly $6 million in turnover in 20 days?!"

"In terms of revenue ratio, Wald Pictures can make at least $2 million this month!"

"Damn it! We are at a loss!"

"Yeah, we shouldn’t just charge a $1 million license fee at the beginning. It should be doubled, no, or we shouldn’t sell licenses. We are 20th Century Fox. If we run it, then "Independence Day" The sales of online peripheral products absolutely far exceed US$6 million!"

They regret it!

However, it is too late to wake up!

The liquidated damages of up to 30 million U.S. dollars made them unable to breach the contract.Seeing that his big fat meat was eaten by Zhu Ke, the feeling was so frustrated.

They hated Zhuke in their hearts!

If Zhuke were here, he would definitely tell them, stop making trouble, and this is also because it is "Independence Day", which is the box office champion in North America this year. If you switch to other movies, can you see if you can sell it online again?

Want to fart!

It is impossible to change to other films.

Of course, they don't think so at this moment.What they think is that Zhu Ke takes advantage of their own family!

Time passed slowly.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

The employees who went to the UK to negotiate the copyright of "The Got Talent" returned to Los Angeles and brought good news.

"You mean someone from the BBC, who is interested in our "Go Talent", but don't want to pay how much?" Zhu Ke said while looking at Martha in front of him.

Sister Martha nodded and said: "Yes, their attitude is very firm. Advertising division is impossible at all, and even if it is a copyright purchase, it cannot exceed 3 million pounds."

3 million pounds?!

Dismissed the beggar!

"If Lao Tzu remembers correctly, the British guy sold the "Talent Show" copyright fee to NBC TV in the United States, which is as high as 70 million US dollars." Zhu Ke could not help but secretly scold the BBC shamelessly.

How to break the game?

Zhuke immediately fell into thought.
