Chapter 126： Li Daniu hit the street?

Remember [Yan♂情÷Chinese☆中文◇网] in a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!

Movies have always been one of the most profitable industries in the new century, with profits comparable to arms.

However, this industry is not so easy to mess with. I don't know how many local tyrants were fooled by the screenwriter or director, and made a bunch of bad movies, losing all their money.

It's like an arms smuggler who may have lost his life.

But it cannot be denied that the movie industry has created countless wealth myths when people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and the demand for entertainment is getting bigger and bigger.

There are super theaters that can earn tens of billions of dollars when they go public, superstars with a single film salary of up to 20 million U.S. dollars, and super directors who have created a box office of more than one billion U.S. dollars.

According to relevant data, the global box office market in 2012 may be around 35 billion US dollars.

Many people think that it is only 35 billion U.S. dollars, which is not as good as the annual profits of companies that rank among the top 500 companies in the world.

But as long as you compare the input and output, you can understand why the film industry is called an industry comparable to the arms business.

Compared with the most profitable banks known to all, a state-owned bank’s annual profit reached 270 billion Huaxia currency in 2011, but the total deposits it absorbed was 12 trillion Huaxia currency, ranking first in the total deposits of the World Bank.

What is the profit ratio?

In the film market, the annual investment in film production will never exceed 10 billion US dollars, and the profit ratio has reached about 300%.

Of course, some people may say that banks pursue low-risk investments, so they earn less money. And showing movies is not only the investment for making movies, but also movie theaters should be included. How much does it cost to have so many movie theaters around the world?

In this regard, I can only say that if the unit of 100 million is eliminated, whoever gives 120,000, and asks him to pay back 122,700 a year later, he will be willing to do it, because this business is not difficult for anyone.

And the investment in movie theaters can only be used for one year. No matter how fast the update is, it will be reinstalled in five years.

For a person like Li Daniu who has countless excellent film and television resources, he will never let go of such a big piece of cake.

Therefore, Li Daniu attaches great importance to his first film. This is a stepping stone for him to open up the power supply industry, and even a touchstone. He will come up with other power supplies and talk about the way forward.

The next morning, Li Daniu got the statistics from yesterday's premiere.

From eight o'clock last night to two o'clock in the morning. The two thousand screens in the United States belong to Li Daniu's first film. Each screen screened three times on average, the overall attendance rate was 87%, and the total box office revenue on the first night was 4.7 million US dollars.

If it is a major Hollywood movie with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, the box office results achieved on the night of the premiere can be regarded as meeting the standard, and no one will be shocked.

But for a pseudo-documentary-style horror film with an investment of only 200,000 US dollars, such a box office can be called a miracle, and it is an unprecedented miracle.

After reading the data, Li Daniu looked at the comments about this movie on the Internet. Ninety percent of the people who watched this movie used various methods to describe how horrible the movie was, and they all said that they had seen it yesterday. How the night was scared to sleep all night.

Li Daniu, who was completely relieved, got requests from several major theaters in the United States, hoping to increase the number of copies and screenings.

"Promise them!"

Is there a reason for rejection? Not to mention that this movie was not looked down upon by others before it was released, even if Li Daniu had nowhere to go to see it released, now that people are coming to ask him to make more money, Li Daniu can't refuse.

That night, the number of screenings of this movie reached 10,000, and the attendance rate reached 81%.

On the third day, because the number of copies was rushed out by working overtime all night, the number of screenings reached 15,000. Basically, at least two screens in movie theaters across the United States are constantly showing this movie in rotation, and the attendance rate has reached . 79%.

The three days ended on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On the newly released last week's box office rankings, Li Daniu's movie "Ghost Story" parachuted to the top of the list with a score of 22.7 million US dollars.

The Hollywood Journal exclaimed: "Wolf is Coming".

Wall Street Journal headline: "A Movie That Could Create an Investing Miracle."

And the number of Li Daniu's eye-book fans, once again because of this movie, has skyrocketed by two million new fans. Except for those who followed Li Daniu because of watching this movie, Huaxia netizens, because of the mainstream media's reports on Li Daniu, They also paid attention to him with the mentality of watching the crowd.

The number of fans is 43 million!

Starting from the second week, Canada, the United Kingdom, France... and other countries began to screen this movie.

At the end of the third week, the global box office of this movie had reached 160 million US dollars. Although the overall attendance rate had begun to decline, there was still room for it, and it was expected to hit the 200 million box office threshold.

A low-budget horror film, with such an unstoppable attitude, attracted the attention of entertainment media all over the world.

However, there are many people who are popular, and this is an unchanging truth.

Many people who are jealous of the film's box office performance, or those who want to find a new way to attract attention amidst the praise reports, suddenly discovered that Li Daniu seemed to have a failure.

Hollywood Journal - "He Gave Up His Job for the Movies"

"As we all know, there is a movie that has captured the headlines of almost all media with its incredible box office results in the past few weeks. The reason why it has won so many reports with less than 200 million US dollars is entirely because of this movie. It is a horror film, and it can even be said that it is the most successful horror film ever. Because the investment of this film is only 200,000 US dollars, I believe that anyone who has seen this film will have a feeling , that is, they can also make such a movie, even compared to the habitual big spender of the king of Tuvalu, they can make such a movie with thousands of dollars."

"Because the male and female protagonists of this movie don't need actors at all. Ordinary people are fully capable. Even including cameras, you don't need to buy one. Renting one is enough. As for the shooting location? Who can live without a place. "

"To sum up, the rich and self-willed king of Tuvalu, who is also the director of this movie, may reduce the profit ratio of this movie by several levels. For the possibility of creating a movie that can never be surpassed Movie profit record, which has to be said to be a pity."

"In addition to this regret, Tarek, the king of Tuvalu, should have a big regret recently. Or we should call him Li Daniu, because he gave himself a Chinese name, perhaps because he felt that taking A name in Huaxia can get help from that country, or use it to open up Huaxia's huge movie and book market. I have to say that he is still very business-minded."

"The regret the author mentioned is of course not because he took a Chinese name, which may affect the sales of his works in the United States or other countries (will this sentence make Li Daniu sue me for alleged racial discrimination?), It's his new book, which hit the street."

"Comparing Li Daniu's last book "The Lord of the Rings", we can be surprised to find that the comparison of the previous sales data between the two is completely opposite. When "The Lord of the Rings" was first released, no one cared about it. Only people who have read this book will be attracted by the content and have the desire to buy. Then through word of mouth, the subsequent sales will show a skyrocketing trend, no, it is an explosion trend.”

"His new book "Harry Potter" is completely different. When it first hit the shelves, he was frantically bought by the fans he accumulated through "Lord of the Rings". The poor reputation of this book made his sales drop like falling off a cliff, without even the slightest ups and downs."

"According to relevant data, the total sales volume of this book in the United States for three weeks is not even as high as the global sales volume of "Lord of the Rings" in one day at the craziest time. It can be seen how badly written this new book by Li Daniu is. In the words of readers, it is a children's book. Perhaps, Li Daniu wants to make money for children, because compared with adults, children's money is undoubtedly the best. Unfortunately, so far, there are not many children's books , I am willing to let my parents pay for myself for "Harry Potter."

"We can only express regret to Li Daniu's book lovers, because we have one more horror film director in Hollywood, but one less great writer in the publishing world. I hope that one day in the future, Li Daniu will not forget that he is still alive because of making movies. There is a king's profession."

When Li Daniu read the report brought by Castro here, he became happy instead, because with this report that wanted to gain attention, he could justifiably declare his name to be Li Daniu in the future.

"Boss, I can sue the author of this report, or even the owner of this newspaper, because this report is not only criticizing you, but also an insult to the 11,000 names of our country in Tuvalu. I can even pass Diplomatic means, a formal protest against the U.S. government..."

Before Castro could finish speaking, UU Reading Li Daniu interrupted him.

"There's no need to be so exaggerated. Besides, if we do this, won't we follow their wishes and let their goal of gaining attention succeed? As for protesting, hehe, I really hate these four words. , I always like when I can move my hands and never move my mouth."

"So, what do you mean?"

"I mean, of course I scolded him. What's the use of just protesting? Do you think the US government will care about the thoughts of a small country like ours now?"

"But...didn't you just say...don't keep your mouth shut?" Castro looked at Li Daniu in embarrassment and asked.

Li Daniu laughed and said: "Yes, but what I said is that when you can do it, you will never do it, but now you can't do it, so you have to use your mouth."

"..." Castro really wanted to say to Li Daniu: You don't forget that you are the king of a country, as the report said, right? How could you...want to scold others?

What kind of demeanor should the monarch maintain? (To be continued.)
