Wearing a sky blue swimsuit, Qin Yunzi held the stainless steel handrail and walked up from the swimming pool. The first thing she saw was Chen Yao's smiling expression.
"Is the good news coming?" She wiped her hair and walked towards him.
Chen Yao turned the phone screen towards her. When Qin Yunzi saw it, her eyes immediately lit up!
"Box office champion?"
"Yes." Chen Yao said: "It defeated the Hollywood science fiction blockbusters released at the same time, and the single-day box office exceeded 210 million."
Qin Yunzi said: "Why was it only 10 million on the first day, but soared so fast the next day?"
¡°The unsatisfactory box office performance on the first day was mainly due to the fact that the film schedule was too low and few people knew about it. As word of mouth spread, the theaters also provided enough screenings.
The theater provided sufficient resources, and the box office exploded on the second day! "
What is certain is that the investment in "Mysterious Journey" has already recovered its cost. With an investment of 30 million, the box office will exceed 300 million in three days.
With the current popularity of watching movies, this high box office can be maintained for a long time.
"Is it possible for its total box office to beat Hollywood's "Future Soldier"?" Qin Yunzi asked.
Chen Yao shook his head: "Compared to the total box office, I care more about its return on investment."
Comparing the total box office with Hollywood is meaningless. Even if it can beat it domestically, the global box office cannot compare with Hollywood.
As an investor, what you care more about is its rate of return, which is the most real benefit.
Don¡¯t look at the fact that the global box office of Hollywood movies can easily reach billions of RMB. Most of them lose money or cannot make money.
In other words, the return on investment is extremely low.
One of the reasons is that Hollywood movies spend too much money on special effects.
This also fully proves that the so-called cultural power of the United States is, in the final analysis, the product of capital promotion. All cultures are built on the basis of money.
The movie itself is a high-risk investment, and most of them lose money. Recovering the cost is considered good, and movies with more than twice the return on investment are rare.
In the history of film development in the world, the one with the highest return on investment is undoubtedly "The Ghost Story". As you can tell from the name, it is a horror film. It has not been released in China and not many people are familiar with it.
¡°But it is a classic that can be written into the textbooks in the film industry. With a tight investment of 15,000 US dollars, the film has earned nearly 200 million US dollars in box office worldwide.
The return rate is more than 6555 times!
This return on investment is estimated to be difficult to beat in another hundred years.
As for China, the movie with the highest return on investment is "B Area No. 32".
A movie that only invested 70,000 yuan, but received 16 million yuan, a return on investment of more than 200 times.
But it is a completely bad movie. The so-called movie shot with a dv camera does not even have a stand, and the camera is shaking around. It is simply outrageous.
No one in the film and television industry regards it as a movie, so they rarely mention it. Such a rate of return has no reference significance for film and television workers.
In the blink of an eye, three weeks have passed. "Mysterious Journey", which was supposed to be offline in two weeks, has been extended by one more week.
Early in the morning, Chen Yao brushed his teeth and washed his face as usual, then picked up his phone and refreshed it.
After "Mysterious Journey" was offline, the total box office was finally released.
All major media outlets have released the same message¡ª¡ª
"Mysterious Journey" has been online for 21 days, and its total box office exceeded the 920 million mark!
Chen Yao¡¯s eyes lit up, and he was about to mentally calculate how many times the return rate would be.
At this moment, Director Li Chenguang¡¯s call came in.
As soon as the call was connected, Chen Yao heard his happy laughter.
"Hahaha, have you seen the box office data? It exceeds 900 million, which greatly exceeds our expectations!"
Indeed, Chen Yao did not expect such results. He originally expected to recover costs of more than 100 million, which was very good.
¡°Come out, let¡¯s sit down at a nearby restaurant and talk.¡± Director Li said and hung up the phone.
Twenty minutes later, when he pushed open the glass door of the restaurant, a cool air-conditioned wind blew in his face. Chen Yao saw Li Chenguang and Zhao Hongshan sitting next to the window at the first glance.
He walked over quickly and sat down opposite them.
Director Li Chenguang personally poured him tea: "Mr. Chen Yao, I really admire you, small cost and big return!"
Although this movie has??'s income has nothing to do with him, but after all, he shot the movie, and he had conflicts with the original investors. The movie was a hit, and he felt bad.
¡°I guess Pan Lunbei¡¯s guts were filled with regret when he saw this box office data!
920 million yuan, which is the highest-grossing movie ever made by Li Chenguang. It can greatly enhance Director Li's status in the film industry.
Zhao Hongshan took a sip of tea and said: "Unfortunately, the cinema chain has only been extended for one week. If the release time is extended for another week, there will definitely be no problem with the box office exceeding 1.1 billion."
Chen Yao drank a sip of Longjing tea and said: "Now that the box office has reached this level, I am really satisfied."
Zhao Hongshan changed the topic and said: "I am now in charge of another movie, a domestic science fiction film. I hope your company's team will complete the special effects of the movie."
The reason why "Journey of Mystery" can stage a big counterattack is all because of the special effects, which are so amazing.
Zhao Hongshan really can¡¯t find a better special effects team than Chen Yao in China. Even if Hollywood can achieve that level, the cost will be at least 10 times more.
Chen Yao readily agreed: "No problem."
Afterwards, Li Chenguang and Zhao Hongshan left the restaurant because of other matters. Before leaving, the director said that there would be a celebration party tonight.
A celebration banquet was held at the nearby Shangri-La Hotel. Such a box office was worthy of celebration.
Chen Yao sat silently in the restaurant and turned on his mobile phone to read news online. The top news in the entertainment, technology and financial pages of the news software were all reporting on "Mysterious Journey".

In the future, there will be a large wave of special effects orders from film and television companies.
As a certain media said, this will really open up a new era, where higher-quality special effects blockbusters can be made at a lower cost!
