Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 87: Humble Expected Box Office
It has been two months since Qiao Feng returned to Hong Kong from the United States. Daomadan has already been painted, even in Shaw Brothers’ Nanyang Hundred Theaters, and he is preparing for release in Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.
In Hong Kong, Daomadan got a box office of 21.5 million, which is about 4 million higher than the original box office of more than 17 million when it was released a few years later. In Nanyang, it also got almost 10 million. box office.
The box office of so many countries in Nanyang is not as large as that of Hong Kong. It has to be said that Nanyang is really poor enough. 15% of the box office share gives Qiao Feng another large income, and he finally no longer has it in his pocket. Shy.
But Qiao Feng won't be happy for long, because the six million dollars on the Terminator's side are almost spent, and he continues to invest money.
Fortunately, he knows that the Terminator will sell at the box office, and he will make a lot of money based on this. With this support to comfort himself, Qiao Feng's heart is not broken into scum.
Jiahe got his wish and stepped on Xinyicheng in the summer file. Shaw's Daomadan occupied the first half of the summer file, and Jiahe fast food truck controlled the second half of the summer file. Moreover, it has not been painted yet, so it can continue to dominate. day.
The entire summer file is the world of these two giants. The new art city produced the horror comedy Nightmare, starring Zhang Aijia and Ren Dahua, released by the Golden Princess. From August 5th to August 24th, I only got a box office of less than 5 million in 20 days.
In Yuanshikong, the film was the box office champion in the summer of 1982 and this year. It won nearly 10 million box office, but now it is directly less than half.
But it’s not surprising that Yuan Shikong has no spoilers between Daomadan and fast food trucks.
Now that Qiao Feng has brought out Daomadan and fast food trucks ahead of schedule, not only Xinyicheng has suffered a lot, but Shaw Brothers and Jiahe have also suffered a lot.
Of course, Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu would never know this. They are still smiling from ear to ear. How could they have imagined that if there was no Qiao Feng, they would not have won the box office championship in this summer file, but their two produced products. The Tathagata Palm and Qimen Dunjia also won the second and third place, with a box office of more than 8 million and more than 7 million.
But now, for these two films, Jiahe’s Qimen Dunjia, directed by Yuan Yizhi and Heping, only got 4 million in the box office, not even the investment of more than 2 million. Shaw is not as good as Jiahe. Because it happened to match the fast food truck and Night Horror at the same time, and at the time when the movie was the strongest, Shaw's box office only got more than two million.
Speaking of making money, Jiahe, and Shaw Brothers must have made more money than the original time and space, but it is also a loss to say that it is a loss, because the two movies that should have won a lot of money at the box office were all scrapped and lost.
It's hard to say gains and losses, but fortunately, Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu can't even know this, so he won't be entangled in this. Seeing these two big brothers happy, Qiao Feng will feel very happy inexplicably after being happy.
.........
"Mr. Joe, I heard that you invested in a science fiction film in Hollywood?"
Qiao Feng came to Jiahe's studio to explore Lin Qingxia. It was during the break that Lin Qingxia hadn't been found, so he was blocked by a man with a pointed monkey cheek, a thick half-long hair and a mustache.
"Yes, I invested in a science fiction film, but it is a science fiction action film." Qiao Feng looked at the ugly old monster Xu Kexu when he was young, and smiled and nodded.
"I heard that the special effects were done by Industrial Light and Magic, the special effects company that produced Star Wars?" Xu Ke asked again.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Qiao Feng nodded and asked.
"It's nothing, the special effects of the film I'm shooting now are also made by them, and I think it's very destined." Xu Ke looked happy when he met someone in the same way, and his moustache was raised up and down.
"How much does Jiahe invest in you in total?" Qiao Feng asked curiously.
"Twenty-three million, mainly for special effects." Xu Ke said triumphantly, and then pretended to ask Qiao Feng casually: "Mr. Qiao, how much did you invest in that film?"
Qiao Feng said with a wry smile, "As you said, special effects are too expensive. The original budget was 6 million US dollars, but now it seems that it is not enough. Maybe it will be 8 or 9 million. "
Qiao Feng deliberately went higher, bragging, of course, he said more. He strictly controlled the cost during the two months he was in the United States, and took another third of it. It cost less than two million. The next third is about two million. It can be calculated that the total investment of the Terminator is higher than the budget of 6 million, which is more than 1 million higher. If Qiao Feng originally expected 7 million If you count it, it just exceeds a few hundred thousand.
"With so much investment, how much does Mr. Qiao expect at the box office?" Xu Ke asked in surprise.
An investment of US$89 million in Hollywood is certainly not high, but for Hong Kong movies, it is basically one or two million. In the low-cost circle of investment of around two or three million, the new Shushan Jianxia 23 million is the highest. The investment is huge, and the terminator investment of nearly 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars is considered a super investment.
Jiahe invested 10 million US dollars to make a Hollywood movie for Cheng Long. It was because of the great wealth of the family, and Qiao Feng even dared to spend so much money to play, but even if he was too courageous. Up.
In case of loss, nearly half of his net worth is gone.
Xu Ke is very curious about how high Qiao Feng's expectations for the box office can make him willing to take such a big risk to invest in that sci-fi action movie, especially when I heard that the director and screenwriter is still a completely unknown novice.
"At the box office, I think there can be sixty to seven million dollars." Qiao Feng said after thinking about it.
"North America?" Xu Ke was shocked.
"No, global." Qiao Feng smiled and shook his head.
"That's pretty high too." Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was a global box office, but he still felt a bit exaggerated in his heart.
"Mr. Xu, what is your expected box office for this film?" Qiao Feng also asked curiously. He wanted to know that this film is destined to be bad in the eyes of the audience, and the film that doesn't tell the story is in the eyes of director Xu Ke. How good, and what is the height of his original expectation.
"Hong Kong's box office is 40 million! I don't have the confidence of Mr. Qiao. I think Hong Kong's box office can make 40 million. If I get back from other places and make 10 or 20 million, I will be very content. What do you think, Mr. Qiao?" Xu Ke expressed his expectations with a humble expression and asked Qiao Feng's opinion with a smile.
Qiao Feng laughed, Xu Ke may really think that his goal is very humble, but in Qiao Feng's view, he really thinks too much, but the truth seems to be very unworthy of offending people, just in Qiao Feng When he didn't know how to answer, someone came to rescue him.
"Afeng, are you here to find me?"
