Chapter 129 How many billions will that cost! 【100 Monthly Pass Plus】

The arrival of the Lantern Festival means that "Return to the Soul Night" has been released for 15 days.

Today, the box office of "Return to the Soul Night" has reached 22.3 billion yuan.

Through the increase in the box office, he found that the movie "Returning Soul Night" is not suitable for release during the Spring Festival.

Because after the Spring Festival holiday, the box office of "Returning Soul Night" has increased by more than 1.5 million yuan every day, which shows that the audience of this movie is a group of adults and office workers.

Unlike "Double Happiness" and "Happy Secret Detective", once the Spring Festival is over, the box office growth rate has slumped in an instant, and the growth rate is getting lower day by day, indicating that these two films may be aimed at some family audiences.

It's like when Hao Huan went to the theater to watch movies on the first day of the new year, many parents took their children to watch "Double Happiness" and "Happy Secret Detective".

As for "Returning Soul Night", obviously no parent would consider taking their children to watch this kind of movie. Even if the classification shows that it is a comedy, the ghost in the promotional film will still scare the children.

Therefore, the Spring Festival file is not the most suitable time for "Returning Soul Night" to be released.

If it was changed to the National Day file, Hao Huan felt that based on the word-of-mouth and ratings of "Returning Soul Night", it would definitely break through 10 billion box office within five days. In this way, it would be more hopeful to break the box office record of "Decisive Battle".

Today, according to the estimates of so many people in the industry, "Returning Soul Night" can only reach a box office of 45 billion yuan at most, so it is impossible to surpass "Decisive Battle".

But now, what makes them puzzled is why the box office growth of "Returning Soul Night" can still be so stable after the Spring Festival holiday?Especially on the day of the Lantern Festival, it actually won a single-day box office of [-] million!
unscientific...

The box office No. 2 "Happy Agent" after the tenth day of the lunar new year, the box office rose by less than 8900 million every day, and the box office of the Lantern Festival only reached [-] million yuan.

However, when the box office growth of all the films in the Spring Festival period began to slump, Hao Huan's "Return to the Soul Night" actually had a flashback!

Could it be that there are no competitors to compete with?
So all the viewers who want to watch the movie chose to support "The Night of Return"?

Or is Hao Huan really starting to hit the box office?This guy doesn't want to set a box office record, does he?

Thinking about how rich Hao Huan's father is, they really suspect that Hao Huan is such a shameless and shameless person!
……

In 4 days, starting from unlocking "Infernal Affairs", Hao Huanguan ate takeaways in this expensive river view room. After spending 4 days, he finally wrote the script of "Infernal Affairs".

He looked at the property interface of the system.

"With a screenwriting ability of 92 points, at least you can write a script with a score of 90 points, right?"

He does not have the ability to remember images. This time, he only has the qualifications to experience the set of "Infernal Affairs" and the qualifications to experience the two actors on their behalf, so he can only rely on the main plot of the movie and those wonderful climax plots to deduce a complete movie. story.

In other words, he bought the copyright of other people's stories, and then adapted them into movie scripts himself!

"When the daily quota is almost accumulated, then increase the screenwriting ability to more than 95 points!"

Hao Huan got up and moved his body. After facing the computer screen for a long time, his eyes were a little sore from the radiation.

The body also has not exercised much for four days, so it feels like the whole body is about to be paralyzed after sitting for a long time.

After looking at his phone, Hao Huan muttered to himself: "Sure enough, "Return to Soul Night" is really not suitable for the Spring Festival release. Others are released during the Spring Festival. It only started to explode after the Spring Festival holiday! The Lantern Festival happens to be on the weekend. 2. No wonder today’s box office is so fierce. In just one afternoon, it has achieved a daily box office of 5 million yuan. Tomorrow and Sunday, there should be another explosion. In these two days alone, it is estimated that it will have a box office of [-] million yuan. "

Although the box office growth of "Returning Soul Night" can be regarded as the real start to increase after the Spring Festival holiday, Hao Huan knows that this is far from enough!
Because it only took three days for "Decisive Battle", the box office exceeded 10 billion yuan, and it already exceeded 20 billion yuan in a week!

And "Returning Soul Night" broke through 20 billion yuan, which took almost a week longer than "Decisive Battle".

It is precisely because of this that when he said that his goal was to surpass "The Final Battle", so many people suddenly criticized him.

But the reason why the box office of "Decisive Battle" soared was because the competitors in the summer vacation were not strong at that time, and the second was that the film was a theme of family and country feelings, so it was deeply supported by the country and loved by the audience.

In this way, the cohesion of the people was brought up, so the box office of "The Final Battle" began to soar, breaking the records of domestic movies one after another.

But in terms of word-of-mouth quality, Hao Huan feels that the movie itself is not too good, and there are still many details that need to be optimized in the story and production of the movie.

However, considering the lack of investment in the film at the time, it was indeed not easy to produce this quality.

It is precisely because of this that the box office of "Decisive Battle" rose sharply in the early stage, but in the two months after the extended screening, the box office did not increase much.

Now, it is impossible for the early box office growth of "Returning Soul Night" to surpass that of "Decisive Battle", so he can only pin his hopes on the box office growth of the extended screening later.

Fortunately, in the next month, there are no movies worth looking forward to that are expected to affect the box office of "The Night of the Soul".

Therefore, many people think that "Return to the Soul Night" can break through 40 billion yuan at the box office and become the third-ranked movie in the domestic box office list.

As for the "Decisive Battle" that surpasses No.1, it is almost impossible, even if it is No.2, it is difficult to surpass.

Hao Huan is very open now, just like the sentence he posted on Weibo, 10 billion is just the starting point of "Returning Soul Night", and 60 billion is his goal, even if this time he can't break the box office record of domestic movies, It will be him who breaks it next time!

The implication is that sooner or later he will break the box office record of "Decisive Battle", and this day will not come too late.

If "Returning Soul Night" can't do it, then leave it to "Infernal Affairs"!
Anyway, his movie output is comparable to that of a sow, and it is not a problem to release four or five movies a year. As long as he wants, he can even go all out and make a movie every month!
It's just that this is too tiring, and the shorter the post-production time, the worse the quality of the movie, so if he just wants to make quick money, he can release a movie a month, but if he wants to break the record and set a new one record, then he has to take it seriously.

"Let's do it!"

Hao Huan's mind was very calm. The movie "Return to Soul Night" has already made him a lot of money anyway.

Even if the box office of "Return of the Soul" fails to surpass "The Final Battle" in the end, he doesn't think it is such a shame.

Anyway, in the next "Infernal Affairs", he feels that the chance of surpassing is even greater!

Because the movie theme of "Infernal Affairs" is more popular, and it is also biased towards the theme of "Decisive Battle", so using "Infernal Affairs" to surpass "Decisive Battle" can be regarded as a contest between the real strong and the strong.

Furthermore, this time, Hao Huan decided to make a big one!
For the movie "Infernal Affairs", he decided to use 10 billion as the production cost!If his idea is right, if the big production and consumption behavior he imagined can be considered a prodigal, then the prodigal value will not be difficult to obtain by then!
He rested for a while, continued to sit in front of the computer, and compiled a list.

This list is full of well-known actors, including some who are at the movie king level!
Now that he has decided to try, even if he can't get the prodigal value in the end, it's not painful to him, so in order for the quality of "Infernal Affairs" to not lose to the original work, he has to find some star actors with real acting skills Just come and support the scene.

In the original book, two movie kings are competing. In "Infernal Affairs" he filmed, even if no movie king participated, he still had to find a few actors whose acting skills were not inferior to these movie kings!

At this time, Hao Huan thought of Liu Yuxi.

This guy definitely has better contacts in the entertainment industry than himself, so if she invites her, the success rate may be higher.

Otherwise, Hao Huan felt that if he invited him, those film stars or star actors whose acting skills could be recognized by him would not give him this face.

Because many veteran actors are unwilling to be pointed out by a new director, especially after they learn that Hao Huan scolded and cried Liu Yuxi on the set, they are even more unwilling to cooperate with him, otherwise they will be the film king at that time. They were all scolded by Hao Huan, and questioned by Hao Huan that their acting skills are not good enough. Where will their face be put?Can't their mentality explode in place?

This was also Hao Huan's headache!

"I feel like these movie stars are hard to talk to! Are there any veteran movie stars who haven't produced any works in recent years and have faded out of the audience's sight?"

Hao Huan searched for star actors who have won various awards, and then registered the names of each other in the list, and finally searched one by one, and found that there are really two or three veteran actor who have passed away. The little fresh meat of acting skills is playing!
For the remaining movie stars, some are still filming, some have become directors, and some have changed careers to participate in variety shows.

But their popularity and traffic are not good. It really complied with that sentence. The waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead, and the waves before died on the beach.

The former movie kings basically lived up to their names, but the current movie kings are all fighting for their connections and popularity in the entertainment industry.

For example, the winner of the Golden Bull Award last year was obviously the spokesperson of bad movies, and his acting skills were sprayed out by netizens, but in the end he defeated many actors with explosive acting skills and became the new Best Actor of the Golden Bull Award.

Therefore, Hao Huan would not consider such a nominal actor no matter how rich he was.

After a while.

He sorted out a list, and he included those star actors who he thought had good acting skills and movie kings who might choose to cooperate with him.

In addition, Liu Yuxi was also selected by him, because this movie needs two female leads with good acting skills.

After the list was confirmed, Hao Huan sent it directly to Wang Lexin, asking her to contact Liu Yuxi first, and then contact the star actors on the list one by one.

……

In the Red Ear Film and Television Company.

Wang Lexin was shocked when she saw the message sent by Hao Huan!
She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the computer screen again, still a little in disbelief!

She pinched her bouncy face, looked again at the list of actors sent by Hao Huan on the computer screen, and then muttered in disbelief: "Could it be that he drank fake wine? These actors and stars have all been found If so, how many billions of dollars will it cost?”

　Thanks to [I read a poem at that time] for the 500 reward, thank you to [Liuqi Xiaomaomao] for the 500 reward, and thank you to [l-XT] for the 100 reward.
