Chapter 115
The word-of-mouth for both "Detective Chinatown" and "A Little Red Flower" is quite good.
But by comparison.
The subject matter of "Detective Chinatown" clearly has an absolute advantage.
In the domestic market, comedy movies are the most profitable.
Plus, this movie is not just funny.
It also incorporates elements of detective work.
It is full of suspense everywhere and is very brain-burning.
Plus the blessing of Su Chen, the king of traffic.
Therefore, starting from the second day.
The box office of "Detective Chinatown" began to grow explosively.
It pulled ahead of other competitors by a wide margin.
On the second day, "Detective Chinatown" grossed 190 million at the box office.
"A Little Red Flower" grossed 110 million.
"Jade Dynasty" grossed 29 million.
"The Founding of a Republic" grossed 26 million.
Until seven days after the release.
The box office of "Detective Chinatown" soared crazily to 1.43 billion.
The final box office prediction given by the official Maoyan box office.
Reached a staggering 2.36 billion!
"A Little Red Flower" grossed 690 million, with a final box office prediction of 1.12 billion.
"Jade Dynasty" grossed 170 million, with a final box office prediction of 240 million.
"The Founding of a Republic" grossed 180 million, with a final box office prediction of 260 million.
The total investment for "Detective Chinatown" was exactly 200 million.
Calculated according to the three-to-one box office sharing rule.
Getting 600 million means breaking even.
Everything beyond 600 million is pure profit.
If "Detective Chinatown" only gets 2.3 billion at the box office in the end.
This means the producers can get 700 million.
After deducting costs, a net profit of 500 million!
The net profit is 2.5 times the cost.
What kind of terrifying concept is this?
Many investors invest in movies.
If they can guarantee not to lose money and make a few million or ten million.
They are already very satisfied.
Companies with slightly larger investments.
Their highest goal might just be to make a few tens of millions.
But Su Chen's movie earned a full 500 million.
Yang Mi's two companies accounted for about 60% of the investment.
This means her two companies can make a net profit of 300 million?
Falling into Yang Mi's personal pocket is over 200 million.
She didn't do anything, just invested some money.
And made a net profit of two "small targets"!
Is there a more perfect investment project than "Detective Chinatown"?
Although Su Chen had previously created several hit TV series.
And became the darling of capital.
But in reality.
This movie is his true battle to become a god!
Overnight.
Su Chen was once again pushed to the forefront.
Countless producers, filmmakers, and various big-shot financiers.
Were calling him, emailing him, messaging him like crazy...
Inviting him to film, inviting him to drink.
And even inviting him to cooperate on investments, they were as numerous as cow hair.
If Su Chen had to attend every drinking party.
He could drink from National Day until the Spring Festival.
Therefore, Su Chen only chooses the most important drinking parties to attend.
Such as Han Han Sanye's.
He politely declines all the rest.
At this time.
A huge discussion about "Detective Chinatown" has erupted across the entire network.
The popularity is rising wave after wave.
"I just listened to Teacher Su's 'Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales' a while ago, and I was really enjoying it! And now 'Detective Chinatown' is here."
"It's so good, so brain-burning, I'm really looking forward to the second one."
"Teacher Su is truly a genius seen once in a millennium! Looks, acting, singing, creative ability, directing talent... everything is maxed out."
"The key is he's only 25 years old, is he even human?"
"Can you blame those goddesses for not being able to hold themselves back? Who can resist such a Teacher Su?"
"Good, good, good! The single is selling like crazy, the movie box office is exploding, goddesses are surrounding him, and Da Da Mimi is even pregnant with his child..."
"All the beauty in the world has been given to Su Chen alone? Well, that's fair!"
"During the movie promotion period, Teacher Su should go on a variety show, right? I really hope to see what he's like on a variety show."
Many actors, in order to maintain their sense of mystery.
Do not take on variety shows.
Because if they participate in too many variety shows.
Netizens will deeply understand what kind of person this actor is.
In the future, whenever he acts in any work, it will be very distracting.
Just like Sha Yi, Deng Chao, Chen He, and these people.
They have recorded too many variety shows.
Even if they play very serious or tragic roles.
Netizens will feel that they will laugh out loud the next second.
Su Chen doesn't have any actor baggage.
Although he treats acting as his main profession.
It is also just a way for him to be a "Cao Thief."
Su Chen has been considering going on a variety show.
Of course, the purpose is not to make money.
It is still to stimulate his "Cao Thief" soul.
As long as there are enough goddesses in a variety show.
As long as there are enough other people's wives!
Su Chen will participate without hesitation.
Besides.
Currently, it is the promotion stage for "Detective Chinatown."
The producers also intend to invite Su Chen to participate in a hit variety show to continue increasing promotion.
Striving to further increase the box office ceiling.
So after this news was released.
All major hit variety shows blew up the phones and emails of Su Chen's agent and assistant!
"Back to Field," "Keep Running," "Go Fighting," "King of Mask Singer," "The Voice of China," "Divas Hit the Road," "Ace vs Ace"...
Not a single one was left out.
Compared to those traffic-driven film and television dramas.
The appeal of variety shows is more pure.
It's just watching the stars!
Especially traffic-driven stars!
If a star's popularity is high enough and the buzz is big enough.
They can win huge attention for this variety show.
And rake in a fortune.
In terms of traffic, Su Chen is also the ceiling.
