60 million in box office in 24 hours! What does this mean?
When this data came out, all practitioners in the industry fell silent!
How much can a youth idol movie cost to invest? Even if the director racked his brains to make it, how much can he spend?
There is no need for any fancy special effects, no big-name actors, and even because of the plot, there is no plot to show off wealth, and there is no need to rent any luxury goods.
The most expensive things here are probably the equipment used for filming and those songs.
The equipment had been purchased before and was a long-term investment. The songs were written by Chen Bei himself. In short, the whole filming process focused on saving money.
Before the filming of the movie started, the crew held a press conference. At that time, director Chang Ming confidently declared at the press conference that his crew had received an investment of tens of millions.
When hearing the news, many people in the film industry cursed.
A youth idol movie starring a newcomer actually has an investment of tens of millions. Are the investors crazy?
Where can I spend this money? Even if I use 001 every time, I can't spend this much money!
Now that we have seen the 24-hour box office figures, even more people want to curse.
60 million!
Which movie can recoup its costs within 24 hours after its release?
What does this mean? Doesn't it mean that from the second day onwards, all the box office revenue of this movie will be profitable?
The entertainment market, especially the film market, is not doing well these days, and everyone is doing things with the idea that as long as they don't lose money, they will make money.
Then you suddenly jump out and tell us that movies are actually very profitable. Isn't that a bit rude of you to do that?
Many practitioners want to ask, is there anyone who can take action to control this behavior that destroys the harmony within the industry?
What other film practitioners say is their business; those who were lucky enough to invest in the new film are now overjoyed.
Nowadays, everyone who invests in movies is nervous. There are too many pitfalls and uncertainties.
Even if we exclude uncontrollable factors such as censorship, no one can guarantee whether the movie will make money in the end.
It is not uncommon for movies with big-name directors and well-known actors to invest hundreds of millions of dollars and end up losing all their money.
It would be a magical experience to be able to recoup your investment on the first day and spend the rest of your life sitting and counting how much money you have earned! Does it really exist in reality?
"I'm telling you, the moment I laid eyes on Teacher Chen, I knew he was a reliable person! I, Qi Bin, have done so much health care over the years that I can tell a person's character almost accurately just by pinching their feet!"
Qi Bin was sitting in a private room of a famous hotel in Yanjing City, holding a glass of wine in his hand, bragging to a group of handsome men and beautiful women sitting opposite him.
These people in front of him were the ones who looked down on Qi Bin and didn't want to play with him.
But now, they all want to lick him actively and use all their tricks to make Qi Bin happy.
The reason is simple, because Qi Bin is Chen Bei's good friend and investor, and Qi Bin has some say with Chen Bei.
More importantly, Qi Bin himself has also acted in movies and is now considered a well-known actor in the circle.
At least in front of these students who have not yet graduated from university and whose future is uncertain, it is absolutely okay for him to call himself a senior.
Someone immediately raised his glass to toast Qi Bin:
"Brother Bin, I heard that Brother Chen's new play paid off on the first day. He must be making a killing in the remaining month. How much did you invest, and what's your rate of return?"
Qi Bin curled his lips and glanced at the man. He remembered that this grandson used to look down on him the most, but now he is so quick to flatter him.
"What Brother Chen? Can you just call me Brother Chen casually? I'm telling you, if there's a chance in the future and I take you to see Teacher Chen, you all have to be careful about how you address him, okay?"
"I'm not going to mince words about his current status. He's going to make a lasting mark in China's music and film industries. You should call him 'Teacher' instead of 'Brother'!"
"Why are you looking at me? My situation is different. I've known Teacher Chen since he was first starting to make his mark. We're close! We've drank together, eaten together, had foot massages together, and even fought together. Can you guys handle this?"
The person who is toasting is so angry!
But in the end he still had to be patient and said:
"That's right, Brother Bin, your lesson is absolutely right. Look at my mouth! I'll drink a glass as punishment!"
After saying that, the other party tilted his head back and drank the wine!
Since the other party was so understanding, Qi Bin felt much better.
He nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Of course I can make money, but you all know my family's situation. Money doesn't mean anything to me."
"Take this movie for example. When Mr. Chen Bei said he wanted to start filming and asked someone to contact investors, I told him straight away, 'Why look for investors?' He could just tell me how much money he needed and I would cover it all."
"You know, I have the ability."
"But Mr. Chen disagreed. He said that he had a lot of friends recently who wanted him to help them make some money. They were all in the business of making money, so they had to give him some respect."
"I thought about it and it made sense. I'm not interested in making money anyway. I mainly enjoy movies. You know me well. I enjoy creating art!"
