It was December 8th.
The discussion about "May We Live Together Forever" on the Internet has not yet ended.
However, as people pay more attention to the lyrics, the popularity of the song is gradually being stripped away.
Discussions have gradually focused on the lyrics themselves—
That is the poem "Song of Water Melody".
Nowadays, this poem has developed to the point where many people can recite it.
At the same time.
The movie "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" has been released for about four weeks.
To everyone’s surprise, the film’s box office performance was very stable, and even remained stable for four whole weeks!
This is so rare.
For a normal movie, the box office will be very high in the first two weeks after its release, but will plummet in the third week.
Occasionally, some of the more powerful blockbusters would only last for three weeks.
The fourth week still ended in decline.
Therefore, there are very few movies that can maintain box office performance for four weeks!
Of course, it is a bit of a stretch to say that "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" lasted all four weeks.
Strictly speaking, "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" lasted four and a half weeks.
Because halfway through the fourth week, the box office of this movie finally and inevitably began to decline rapidly.
So far.
This movie, which cost about 50 million yuan, has brought the power of word of mouth to the extreme.
When it came to the fifth week, "Hachiko" was still facing the same fate as all other movies, as its box office revenue dropped too much and it had to be withdrawn from various theaters one after another.
However, at this time, the box office of "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" has already stumbled into the 2 billion mark!
This result was not only beyond the expectations of the circle, but also greatly beyond Lin Yuan's expectations.
Judging from the trends in the first two weeks alone, the box office of this movie is probably just over 10 billion.
But who could have thought that the result would be 2 billion
This is the magic of the film market.
The coverage rate of market rules is about 80% of movies, and there is always a small number of movies that can break some rules.
For example, the movie "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" has slightly broken the market rules.
In this regard, the film and television industry could not help but once again sigh at Xingmang's good fortune to have a monster like Xianyu in charge.
As for Xing Mang, he must be extremely happy. He was willing to violate company practice and specially upgrade Xianyu's music contract to the level of Qu Die. Who dares to say that Xianyu has no influence on the film industry
“It’s exactly twice as long as The Tuner.”
When Lin Yuan made the summary at home, he was already very satisfied.
It is indeed a top-notch word-of-mouth movie.
The box office is very elastic, it can be very low, but it can also be very high.
In general, the money-making ability of making movies is unquestionable!
However, the disadvantages of movies are that the production cycle is too long, the risks are higher, and the energy consumed is far greater than releasing songs.
From this perspective, it is actually much easier to make money by releasing new songs than by making movies.
“Can’t expand.”
After reading so many books about movies, Lin Yuan knows that the film market is the most uncontrollable.
Although I have been successful in making small investments for big gains several times in a row, it does not mean that I can always be successful.
This is also the reason why Lin Yuan insisted on making Zhang Xiuming the male lead when he was preparing to shoot "Hachiko: A Dog's Story".
According to Lin Yuan's personality, why would he use big names instead of cheap actors
How much are the big names paid
But sometimes it’s just so helpless.
There are always some movies that must have big names to support them.
Facts have also proved that although Zhang Xiuming's price is expensive, his acting skills and popularity are important guarantees for the box office!
If Lin Yuan makes a feature film and doesn't use big-name actors, then he really won't be able to get along with the market.
"If the male lead was not Zhang Xiuming, but an actor with good acting skills but little fame, the box office might have shrunk by half."
Lin Yuan has such awareness and never harbors any fluke mentality.
At this time.
There was a knock at the door from my sister: "It's time for dinner."
"oh."
Lin Yuan stopped thinking and walked out of the room.
Arriving at the restaurant downstairs, Lin Yuan was surprised to find that his sister and mother had cooked together and prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
"Is it the New Year?"
No, the annual holiday hasn’t started yet.
There are still more than ten days until the Chinese New Year.
Lin Yao said: "My sister got a promotion today, so let's celebrate."
As she spoke, Lin Yao secretly adjusted the position of the dishes, placing the meat in front of herself and the vegetables in front of Lin Yuan.
“The South Pole is still out there.”
Lin Yuan reminded casually.
Lin Yao nodded, but when she walked to the door, she found that Nan Ji had already entered the house and was sitting under the dining table, sticking out his tongue, looking at her with sympathy.
Looking up, Lin Yuan had already sat in front of his seat filled with meat dishes.
Lin Yao said angrily: "This is my position."
Lin Yuan said: "Your name is not written on the chair."
Lin Xuan took off her apron, washed her hands and sat down, saying helplessly: "It doesn't matter where you sit, you both need to eat vegetables, and the nutrition needs to be balanced."
"That's right, you can't be picky about food."
My mother also sat at the table and spoke.
Lin Yao sat down in Lin Yuan's usual seat angrily.
"etc."
Lin Yao took out her phone, took a photo of the dishes on the table, posted it to her friends, and then said with a smile:
"Congratulations on my promotion today, let's eat!"
Lin Yuan asked curiously, "What position did your sister get promoted to?"
The Silver Blue Library really likes to promote young people. People as young as Lin Xuan in Xingmang Company are basically ordinary employees.
"Deputy Editor!"
Lin Yao said happily that being able to be a deputy editor-in-chief at her age was considered a successful career.
Lin Yao followed up by asking, "Which department?"
Lin Xuan's smile froze, and she said awkwardly, "Fairy tale department."
"fairy tale?"
Lin Yao's eyes widened, and she looked very interested: "Is it the kind from The Three Little Pigs?"
The so-called "Three Little Pigs" is a fairy tale from Blue Star. It tells the interesting story of a single mother pig and her three piglets. It has been adapted into a cartoon and is the childhood of Lin Yao's generation of children.
"Yes… "
Lin Xuan didn't seem to want to talk more.
Mom saw Lin Xuan's disappointment and asked, "Isn't this department good?"
Lin Xuan shook her head. "It's not that it's bad. This is a newly established department of the company. Everything is possible. It's mainly because there are some bad rumors about our department in the company. It's said that our department is specially used to place people with connections."
My mother was stunned: "Are you related?"
Lin Xuan pouted and said, "How could I be a relative? It's the other guys in the department who hold important positions who are definitely relative. Their parents are basically high-ranking members of the Silver Blue Library. Because there are so many people like this, our department has three deputy editors-in-chief alone."
Lin Yuan ate his meat and asked casually, "What about the editor-in-chief?"
Lin Yao said helplessly: "The department is just being established and there is no editor-in-chief yet. Things are basically discussed by the three of us deputy editors-in-chief. I guess the company wants to consider who will be the editor-in-chief based on our performance."
"Come on, sister!"
While Lin Yao was talking, she secretly gave the vegetables to Nan Ji to eat, but was discovered by her mother and her hand was hit by her mother's chopsticks.
"Sister, I can't add more oil."
Lin Xuan started to gnaw on chicken feet, as if to vent her frustration, and mumbled, "I don't know what the company was thinking. They put me together with a bunch of people with connections. It just so happens that these people with connections have backers. Relying on their family connections, they have contacted some very powerful fairy tale writers in the industry. Especially the one in the office next to mine, who actually got an appointment with Teacher Yuanyuan for a manuscript. She is the author of The Three Little Pigs."
Lin Yao rubbed her hands: "Sister, contact me too."
Lin Xuan was even more depressed. "I don't know any great fairy tale writers. I did contact a few through my connections in the company, but they just ignored me. Who made me the only deputy editor-in-chief in the department who didn't have connections?"
"Long or short?"
Lin Yuan also passed some vegetables to Nan Ji, but Lin Yao told him off: "Mom, look at him!"
Lin Yuan stuffed the vegetables into his mouth without changing his expression.
My mother is helpless.
Lin Xuan didn't notice this and answered casually, "Of course it's a long story. The new department won't follow the magazine route for now."
"oh."
Lin Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.
