Chapter 536 Accidental
While many netizens are paying attention, insiders in the entertainment industry have also begun to analyze the movie.
Whether it’s a horror film or a thriller, it’s been too difficult to make it in the past few years.
Everyone knows that making a good thriller can pay off a lot.
Why?
Thriller scenes are not very demanding and usually take place in cramped locations, hotels, villas or even toilets, abandoned houses or in the wilderness.
First of all, it saves a lot of investment on location.
The second point is that the filming requirements are not high, which means that the number of staff can be reduced, and whether it is props or other things, it can be saved and reduced to the greatest extent.
The post-production special effects are even more pitiful, because most of them can be replaced with makeup.
Another thing is that the requirements for actors are not high!
This low level does not refer to acting skills, but to low requirements for personnel.
When you make a costume drama, you can't just have two people, right? There can't be any supporting actors, passers-by, or extras.
If it were a war movie, there would be even more people.
Thrillers are so simple. If you order a dozen more or seven or eight less, you can scream for an hour and a half in one movie. How much money you save!
Therefore, thrillers have low investment and poor box office, but they have the highest return rate.
But just because of making money, the Xiazhou film industry has been focusing on thrillers in recent years, and the thrillers it produces have become synonymous with bad movies.
Nowadays, as long as the movie is a thriller, there is no need to ask, it must be a bad movie.
In the past two years, almost no one has made thriller-type movies, and those that have been are just small-scale movies, and few of them have a box office of more than 2 million.
From the beginning, every configuration of the movie Enron was a bad movie.
The investment is small, only Weibo publicity is used for publicity, the cast is simple, and the scene is single!
Apart from the fact that the actors can watch it, isn’t that a standard feature of a bad movie?
But as soon as the result was released, and now as word of mouth has fermented, it is obvious that it has the tendency to become a hit.
This makes those in the film industry start to get excited.
Look at "Asura God", with an investment of 200 million, the box office is estimated to be more than 200 million at most.
Excluding the share, the net loss is more than 100 million!
Enron invested one million, and it's only its third day, and every box office cent is half of his!
Can people in the industry not study it?
Film critics who couldn’t even be hired in the past now don’t need to be hired at all. They just pay to watch them themselves.
After watching it, I immediately went back to write a review, and I immediately praised the movie!
"When a person is desperate and cannot find a life-saving straw, and no one is willing to help, this is the source of tragedy!"
"There is hope, but we have been disappointed enough. What we can experience is less than one percent of the pain of the male protagonist!"
"Two people, a mine, and some tools, just like this movie, created a different feeling of suspense."
"The director, screenwriter, and actors worked together perfectly, and the two of them brought the whole movie to life!"
"I have to say, this is the best movie I've seen this year!"
The first critic praised it, and the subsequent praises followed one after another.
Review after review, one after another, spared no words of praise and gave the best words to this movie.
The extremely powerful "Shura God" in the front has long been thrown into the corner, abandoned like worn shoes, like a frustrated little daughter-in-law, as pitiable as possible.
"The God of Shura" was specifically chosen to be released at this time because it didn't have a strong opponent at this time.
With the addition of IP and idol traffic, this movie can easily exceed 500 million without any problem.
Who would have thought it would be such a result?
The much-anticipated "Asura God" was completely defeated by a small-production film with a million investment.
Although "172 Hours" is far inferior to "Asura" at the box office, it will not even surpass "Asura" in the end!
But where are their costs? They are making money now and you are losing money. What is there to be proud of?
With word-of-mouth from the audience and bragging from film critics.
"172 Hours" completely begins its counterattack.
The box office on the third day was 14 million.
On the fourth day, because it was Monday, the box office dropped slightly, back to 12 million!
Back to 10 million on the fifth day!
This result may not seem outstanding, but at this time "172 Hours" has stabilized in second place.
After several days of fighting, "The Silent Dragon" has fallen behind, falling from second place to third place.
"Once Upon a Time in the Old City" ranked fourth, but the gap is obvious, and it is impossible to catch up.
As for the first place, it is still "Shura God"!
But as the producer of "Shura God", people from Hanhai Culture can't laugh at all.
With a production fee of 200 million, the daily box office is around 15 million.
Following closely is "172 Hours".
The two movies occupy the first and second positions on the rankings, which looks so eye-catching.
No matter who sees "172 Hours", they will point to "Asura God" and say: "Look, this film invested 200 million and only had a little more box office than others..."
This is simply a negative teaching material that makes people unable to look directly at it!
The key is that the box office of the movie Enron is very strong. After the box office dropped from Monday to Friday, it remained very stable. It fluctuated between one million almost every day, and there was no big ups and downs.
Now in a few days, this movie has exceeded 50 million box office.
It makes people’s eyes pop.
This is so profitable. Just from the box office share, Enron's company can get a share of 20 million to 10,000.
Who wouldn’t be jealous after seeing this?
And on Friday night, "Laughter" was released and won the box office championship of the day.
The box office of "Asura", which has always occupied the top spot, has dropped to 7.8 million, ranking second.
"172 Hours" followed closely with a slight gap of 7.7 million.
Saturday!
"172 Hours" achieved a reversal from "Asura" and occupied the second place with a box office of 11 million.
"Asura God" continued to decline, with only 7 million box office.
At this point, no one dares to underestimate Enron's ability to make movies.
With a small but broad approach, we made a wonderful turnaround.
Although from beginning to end, none of his movies won the box office title for even one day, the voices questioning Enron on the Internet have almost disappeared.
No one would use this to make a point, everything must be compared!
Both netizens and film critics have to admit that every step of the movie Enron, from shooting to marketing planning, was a stroke of genius.
Use the minimum cost to maximize benefits.
But An Ran, who was in the office, couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw the kind words that almost came out of the screen.
This movie is his most difficult investment since he entered the entertainment industry.
I was almost forced to make it a webcast.
Once a movie with potential that has never been released in theaters is broadcast online, it means that it will offend almost all film production companies and movie theaters.
He really doesn’t want to take this step unless he has to!
