Chapter 625: Art Films Also Have Their Spring: The Box Office Hits "The Intouchables"
Beni was unknowingly addicted to this film, which was funny and heartwarming. It was about a black nanny who became a private nurse by accident and a white rich man who was paralyzed all over.
The gap in status is huge, but they are slowly healing each other. Su Yang took out this script because he liked it and liked this story.
This is a very healing movie, which makes people feel very comfortable. There are no overly intense conflicts and no depressing reality.
Before she knew it, the movie was over. The ending was a happy one, and after watching it, a smile appeared on Penny's lips.
Comfortable, this is the feeling after watching this movie.
"I just finished watching The Intouchables and was deeply moved by the story. I love this movie and the story. After watching it, I felt healed. Friendship is a very mysterious thing, difficult but also precious. Su Yang's storytelling ability is fully demonstrated in this film. This is a very good story, I love this story..."
Beni expressed her gratitude on her social circle.
More and more people are now gradually finishing watching the film. After watching it, many people were moved by the film and gave it a high score.
"Someone walks into your life unexpectedly. They're from a different class, imperfect, and even have quite a few annoying flaws. But long-term mutual trust and understanding forge a true friendship, bringing sunshine to both of their lives. I love this movie, especially the beautiful scene of the paraglider soaring over the valley. Su Yang's story and Baal's abilities perfectly showcase this film..."
"Thank you Su Yang, thank you Bal, a good screenwriter, a good director, for presenting us with a good story..."
"Not showing mercy is a higher form of respect. Thank you Su Yang, thank you Baer, thank you for bringing such an excellent film..."
"Brother Yang is amazing. I just finished watching this movie and I love it..."
"It turns out that art films can be so good. There should be more films like this. They are so healing..."
"A good movie has a soul, and this movie has..."
The reputation of this movie began to ferment on the Internet. Su Yang's appeal was too strong. Even if he was just a screenwriter, with his appeal, coupled with the quality of this film.
Therefore, the on-demand data of this film began to skyrocket, and its reputation was also fermenting. On the Xinghai website, netizens even gave it a high score of 9.4.
The ratings on the Xinghai website are now more rigorous. To rate a movie, you must have watched the entire film. And it's a real account, so it's difficult to cheat.
So this rating is also very real, and the comments section will show both good and bad reviews, so that everyone can have a more realistic understanding of the film.
On the Xinghai website, sales data for The Intouchables is constantly displayed. This data is aggregated across all platforms, bringing together global data. However, the data displayed in each country is based on their own currency.
For example, box office results in China are expressed in RMB at the current exchange rate, while in the United States they are expressed in US dollars, in Germany in Deutsche Marks, and so on.
Word of mouth is spreading, and box office revenue is growing. This growth rate has made directors of art films around the world stare in amazement.
Damn, can art films still make so much money?
Xinghai has a large number of users, and the on-demand fee is not expensive. Coupled with Su Yang's gimmick, the radio wave data of this film is constantly increasing.
As time goes by, the pay-per-view of this movie continues to rise.
In the end, when the 24-hour paid subscription data came out, everyone was shocked.
In just 24 hours, over 60 million people worldwide paid to watch the film on demand, and the global box office reached 1.032 billion RMB.
Twenty-four hours of such data is really excellent. The cost of this movie is not high, and Barr was also frugal, not even spending the full $10 million.
This is a small-scale art film with a production cost of about 50 million RMB, but it has already grossed over 1 billion RMB worldwide.
This is just the box office for 24 hours. In the future, this movie will continue to be on demand in Xinghai.
No one expected such a huge profit. Art films have actually seen a resurgence, with some not being shown in theaters but achieving even better results on streaming platforms.
This success has excited art film directors and even art film investment companies around the world. If "The Intouchables" can make money, then they firmly believe that their own films should also be able to make money.
The rise of Star Ocean has brought the advantages of streaming platforms into play. For films like this one, which lack special effects, streaming platforms seem more suitable. Not only do the platforms take a smaller share of the commission, costs are lower, and the audience is wider.
"The Intouchables" became a hit, and Barr became famous again.
Looking at this result, Bal felt a mixture of emotions. Damn, he was an art film director. He needed awards recognition, and now he was gone. He was an art film director, and he had become the director of a box office hit.
But thinking about the share he could get, Bal became excited again.
As the director, Bal also received a 3% share of the box office revenue. Initially, Bal did not pay much attention to this share, as he thought the box office revenue would not be too high.
But now it's different. The box office of this movie is too high. At this rate, it will be a piece of cake to break the $200 million box office.
Based on the $200 million, Barr would receive $6 million, which is a huge sum for Barr.
Comfortable, Bal feels comfortable now.
He has good scripts to shoot, a strong company to rely on, and he can still make so much money. These days, Bal won't leave Qingyao Media even if he is asked to.
Bal wasn't overwhelmed by this success; he knew exactly why The Intouchables was such a hit. It wasn't his own appeal at all; a look at the film's reviews would have shown that; over 95% of them praised Su Yang's excellent storytelling.
It is obvious that the box office appeal of this movie was brought by Su Yang, not by himself.
People should have self-knowledge. Bal has already had this after going through so much.
Now that he had embraced the big tree of Qingyao Media and the big tree of Su Yang, he should hold on tightly. Thinking about the scripts he had read some time ago, Bal was full of fighting spirit. These scripts could not only make him famous, but also make him a lot of money. Who wouldn't like fame and fortune? After all, we are all ordinary people.
