Since Xu exists in the 310 theaters in the mainland, Yindu is no longer of any use to DreamWorks. In addition, Yindu made DreamWorks lose the right to co-produce with film studios in the Mainland. Therefore, Xu Cun kicked Yindu away without hesitation and let Shi Nansheng go north to form a publishing team mainly composed of mainlanders.

That is to say, in the mainland film market, DreamWorks has taken over the production, distribution, and screening, forming a large-scale studio system.

Expressed in numbers, DreamWorks can get 82% of the box office share of each movie after paying sales tax, special funds for movies and some unexplained expenses.

In addition, in view of the fact that the movie ticket price in the Mainland is too low compared to the movie ticket price in Hong Kong (in 1985, the movie ticket price in Hong Kong has risen to 17 yuan and 30 yuan, which is about 5 yuan a piece in RMB. ), most of the state-run movie theaters in the mainland have raised the movie ticket price to 50 cents a piece—the price has risen, and the service, environment, and equipment are much better than the state-run movie theaters.

There are two reasons why DreamWorks movie ticket prices have risen so sharply—the first is, of course, profit. The second reason is to leave room for state-run movie theaters to survive (at present, reform and opening up is still in the groping period, and thousands of state-run movie theaters in the mainland support a large number of idlers. If Xu Cun smashed the iron rice bowls of these idlers Now, these idlers have to hate Xu Cun to death, and they may push Xu Cun to the forefront, so Xu Cun has long made up his mind that he will never personally drive the state-run cinemas out of the movie market.).

Nowadays, DreamWorks has very little competition in the mainland. Under such circumstances, how could Xu Cun not want to take this opportunity to make a fortune?

Based on this, although there are many things at the end of the year, Xu Cun personally selected five films to be introduced in the mainland.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Cun chose "Royal Senior Sister 1" (in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Cun personally renamed "Royal Senior Sister" to "Iron Policewoman".), "The True Color of Heroes". ", "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", "Five Women's Birthday Celebrations", "Zhu Xian".

The reason why Xu Cun chose "Royal Senior Sister 1", "The True Color of Heroes" and "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" is not only because these three films are rare and good films, but also because these three films have no political overtones, and because Xu Cun wants to borrow them With these three films, he increased his influence in the mainland.

The selection of "Five Women's Birthday Celebrations" and "Zhu Xian" is because Xu Cun pleases the audience in the Mainland - the "Five Women's Birthday Celebrations" by Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe and Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe are very influential in the Mainland, and "Five Women's Birthday Celebrations" are very influential in the Mainland. "The actors are all mainland actors, which can arouse the intimacy of mainland audiences. Although "Zhu Xian" was performed by actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, most of them were filmed in the mainland.

Speaking of "Zhu Xian", Xu Cun is really pleased!

"Zhu Xian" finally won the box office of 44 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and successfully killed "The True Color of Heroes" to become the box office champion of Hong Kong.

In Japan, "Zhu Xian" won the box office of 8.9 billion yen, becoming the sixth-highest film in the Japanese box office list.

In the Nanyang region, "Zhu Xian" won the box office of 12 million US dollars, which is very good.

In South Korea, the number of viewers of "Zhu Xian" reached 950,000.

In North America, "Zhu Xian" won the box office of 79 million US dollars, won the ninth place in the North American box office list in 1984, and became the box office champion of pure Chinese movies in North America.

In Central and South America and Europe, "Zhu Xian" won the box office of 54 million US dollars, and also broke the box office record achieved by Chinese-language films in Central and South America and Europe.

Total: "Zhu Xian" grossed $177 million at the box office.

The production cost of "Zhu Xian" is nearly 20 million US dollars.

The publicity fee for "Zhu Xian" is 30 million US dollars - an important reason why "Zhu Xian" can achieve a box office of 177 million US dollars is that Xu Cunken took the risk of spending 30 million US dollars to vigorously promote "Zhu Xian" . Of course, "Zhu Xian" is also worth Xu Cun's risk.

After deducting the fees paid to various theaters and cinemas and the cost of joint distribution, "Zhu Xian" made a total of 23 million US dollars for Xu Cun (excluding the profit of peripherals and video tapes.).

For Xu Cun, who is ready to lose money and make a profit, it is definitely good news that "Zhu Xian" can make a profit of 23 million US dollars!

but--

Although "Zhu Xian" made a profit of $23 million for Xu Cun, "Zhu Xian" was not the most profitable movie for Xu Cun - "Back to the Future", "Terminator", "Ghostbusters", "Little Monsters" and "The Little Mermaid" both made more money for Xu Cun than "Zhu Xian".

Back to the Future grossed $210 million in North America and $380 million worldwide, earning Xu Cun $51 million.

"Ghostbusters" grossed $229 million in North America and $291.6 million worldwide, earning Xu Cun $24 million (due to Xu Cun only paid half of the production fee and publicity fee of "Ghostbusters", so Xu Cun only owns half of the revenue rights of "Ghostbusters").

"Little Monsters" grossed $148 million in North America and $230 million worldwide. Excluding the dividend for Jeffrey, Xu Cun earned $29 million .

"The Little Mermaid" grossed $69 million in North America and $170 million worldwide, and excluding the dividends paid to Jeffrey, Xu Cun earned $26 million.

"Terminator" made $38 million at the box office ~ lightnovelpub.net~ made $96 million worldwide (last lifetime, "Terminator"'s global box office was 78 million million dollars, due to Xu Cun's strong distribution in Asia, the box office of "Terminator" increased by 18 million dollars.), due to the low production cost and publicity cost of "Terminator", "Terminator" is a Xu Cun also made $500,000 more than "Zhu Xian" made for Xu Cun.

(The above movie profits do not count the profits of peripherals and video tapes.)

Total: "Zhu Xian", "Back to the Future", "Terminator", "Ghostbusters", "Little Monsters", "The Little Mermaid" together earned Xu Cun $176.5 million.

Plus the perimeter and videotape earnings.

"Zhu Xian", "Back to the Future", "The Terminator", "Ghostbusters", "Little Monsters", "The Little Mermaid" could probably earn Xu Cun $350 million.

When all the money is in the account, Xu Cun will return all the money to Baye Bank, and then collect some money to withdraw Huangtu Land, and then take Huangtu Land to Japan for a loan to lay out the Hiroshima Agreement that will come next year. .
