Three hundred and sixtieth chapters have tasted the pain of love

Three hundred and sixtieth chapters have tasted the pain of love

Du Caige has learned about the current sales of paid videos in Dahuaguo.

The Internet is not very developed now.

Although due to the strong copyright protection, the box office of online movies is generally several times higher than that of the earth in the same period.

But most people are still not used to watching movies online.

In this era, "Those Years" can achieve the current results, which is indeed considered to be relatively top.

In 2007, among the top 10 online movies in terms of sales, the first place was the total online box office of 14 million yuan.

millionth.

More than half of 2008 has passed. So far, the total box office of the sales champion is only 13 million yuan. Even worse than last year.

However, considering the 3 million investment of "Those Years", it is far more than the average online movie.

Usually, the cost of online movies during this period does not exceed 500,000.

Considering that there is such a top-notch recommendation as Duan Tianhou, there are several popular singers who have made friendly recommendations, Jiang Youxi, a popular young student who is infinitely close to the front line, acts as the starring role, as well as himself, a topical character and a director with millions of fans.

In addition, it also got the cover recommendation of Yuanguang Video Network.

Some well-known film critics were invited to write reviews.

Control comments on Tieba and Weibo.

With these favorable conditions, in the field of online movies, "Those Years" is simply beating up children, knocking over one with one punch, and kicking a bunch of them with one kick.

This achievement can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

Of course, because the word of mouth has not yet fermented, "Those Years" actually still has great potential to be tapped.

Du Caige still has confidence in the quality of the film, and the reputation will definitely not be bad.

A few days later, Du Caige will not be surprised if it sells 300,000 times a day, or even 500,000 times.

Judging from the current situation, "Those Years" has definitely paid off.

It's just a matter of earning more and less.

Well, the cost mentioned here includes the cost of hiring film critics and controlling reviews.

Forget it, all add up to about 3.3 million.

Because in fact, when shooting, the budget is better controlled.

The entire crew, the salaries of all the cast and crew, including various costumes, props, sets, equipment, hotels, three meals a day, etc., only cost 900,000.

Then post-production cost over $1.1 million.

You read that right, the cost of post-production also exceeds the cost of filming.

Therefore, the production of "Those Years" can be regarded as quite excellent in micro-films.

In Du Caige's view, it is not inferior to the original Nine Swords' "Those Years".

Then, when the project was finished, we invited guests to dinner and distributed red envelopes to all the cast members, which cost 200,000 yuan.

The rest of the money was spent on publicity.

For the final sales of "Those Years", Du Caige's more conservative expectation is to sell 10 million times within a month.

And a month later, maybe the whole month's sales are not as good as one day's sales in the first month, which is a common situation in digital broadcasting.

Therefore, only the first month sales shall prevail.

To achieve this sales volume, it is estimated that LL will have to recommend one or two pop-up windows.

Of course, the pop-up window recommendation is very expensive, but Du Caige can give up his face to beg Yan Yingzhen, let Yan Yingzhen come forward, and try to get the prime-time pop-up window at the price of one or two million once.

If it sells 10 million times, the total online box office can be estimated to be 27 million.

But there is an upside to paying for digital on-demand online, the cut is much smaller than if it were played in a movie theater.

Played in the cinema, for every 100 yuan box office, the producer can only get about 35%.

If the producer has the ability to do the issuance, it can probably split the account to about 40%.

On the other hand, online paid digital video-on-demand, because this micro-movie has huge gimmicks such as "directed by Hemingway", "starring Jiang Youxi", "cameo after the song", etc., Dreaming Interactive Entertainment came forward and talked about a good basic share.

64 points.

The producer takes 60%.

In fact, this share ratio, the website is not at a loss.

Although they have operating costs, Hemingway and Jiang Youxi joined forces to contribute, and a movie such as Duan Xiaochen's cameo after the song is full of gimmicks, which can help them sell a lot of members.

They actually make a lot of money.

And this is only the basic share, and there is a step-by-step return ratio, such as a percentage of 100,000 copies sold, and a percentage of 1 million copies sold.

In this way, if "Those Years" can really sell 10 million copies, only as a producer can Zhumeng Huyu get about 77% of the digital box office.

% is 20.79 million.

After deducting taxes, it is also a net profit several times.

It can be said that it was a box office success.

And a successful box office movie broke several records and was the annual box office champion. Such an online movie will leave a deep memory for netizens and will continue to be broadcast in the next few years. This is a small amount of income. .

Then, when the movie "Old Boy" is filmed, on the one hand, the audience of "Those Years" will want to continue watching the story of Wen Xinran and Lin He; It will definitely attract a lot of passers-by.

After watching "Old Boy", many viewers will go to "Those Years".

You can also make a bundle of "Those Years" and "Old Boy". For example, "Old Boy" is priced at 5 yuan, and "Those Years" is priced at 3 yuan, but the package is only 5.99 yuan.

"If the movie sells well, it can also help you increase your popularity." Du Caige laughed.

"Indeed, I know brother, you are supporting me. By the way, are you considering a sequel?"

"Filming starts in November." At this time, the waiter came to order, Du Caige felt that his stomach was still rebelling, and he really didn't want to drink anymore, so he ordered a glass of juice.

And Jiang Youxi was afraid of being scolded, so she naturally drank juice.

Two big men ran to the bar to drink juice, and the key was quite handsome, which caused the waiter to cast a strange look.

If Du Caige knew what he was thinking, he would definitely want to strangle the waiter to death.

But of course he didn't know, and would rather not guess.

Jiang Youxi pondered: "November... Maybe I can't get a schedule."

He looked up at Du Caige, "Brother, how much time do you need me to spare?"

"Just a day or two. In the sequel, you are no longer the protagonist. I am going to find an actor who is in his thirties and almost 40 years old. The name of the sequel is 'Old Boy', and it tells the stories of a few middle-aged people. As a young Lin He, there are not many appearances. As for the middle-aged Lin He, I don't plan to let you play the role. Frankly speaking, your acting skills still need to be polished, and you can't act like a middle-aged person."

"That's it," Jiang Youxi felt a little regretful, but she didn't have too many negative emotions. It's normal for such a thing to happen. "It's a pity to say that I really like the role of Lin He. Playing a genius makes me feel like I have become Genius."

He was still in the mood to joke that things weren't serious. "Tell me about your relationship problems."

"Actually nothing."

Jiang Youxi fell silent.

When the waiter brought the juice, he took a few sips, seemed to sort out his thoughts, and said, "I had a girlfriend when I was young."

"You are very young now."

"Seven or eight years ago."

"I'm going!" Du Caige almost spit out, "You were only in high school then!"

"I didn't go to high school. I came out to work after graduating from junior high school. I worked part-time in a musical instrument store. My girlfriend is the daughter of the owner of the musical instrument store."

"You didn't make people's stomachs bigger, did you?" Du Caige asked.

Jiang Youxi said angrily: "Brother, you are focusing on the wrong point. How should I say, we talked for a while, and then she went back to the North for the college entrance examination, and I also became a trainee, so I didn't have time to contact, Feelings fade away."

Although he understated it, Du Caige could realize that this kid must have had a lot of torment and tossing and turning during this period.

Love is not easy.

Who said love is only sweet?

The person who said this is really standing and talking without back pain.

Most people have experienced the pain of love.

"So, you are in a bad mood now, and it has something to do with this ex-girlfriend?"

"I don't even know if it should be considered an ex-girlfriend," Jiang Youxi smiled wryly. "After all, we never really said we broke up. It's just that it's so light and we don't get in touch."

"And now that you're famous, she suddenly contacts you again?"

Jiang Youxi scratched her hair, looking very distressed and troubled, "Yeah, at first, she shook me on LL and asked me to send her an autographed photo, saying that her classmate was my fan -- she was in Beijing. Graduate school in the university. Um, I asked for an autographed photo just when "Fairy Tale" was released."

"Afterwards, I would chat occasionally, and when I released "Dongfeng Po", she said that she also started to follow me."

"Later, during the summer vacation, she said that she wanted me to travel with her. I had concerns in my heart, and I was really busy, so I said that I was not free. She didn't say anything. Later, it was said that she was traveling with a few female classmates. They even took pictures for me, and there are indeed only a few female classmates."

"I just thought, if I accompany her to travel with a man and a widow, we will definitely open only one room, and we will definitely be rolling in sheets. Besides, she and I have done everything, and there is no estrangement. So I just don't understand and I don't know what she means."

After saying that, he started to sigh.

Du Caige also drank the juice silently, and said after a while: "The reason why you are distressed is because you not only want to have sex with her, but because she is your first love, you still have feelings for her, at least It's a little nostalgic. So you hope you can have a clearer relationship with her, don't be vague, don't just be friends."

Jiang Youxi nodded: "This is one aspect of my distress."

"And what else?"

"Brother, let me slow down."

It was obvious that he was craving something alcoholic.

After taking a few sips of the juice, he showed a toothache.

Of course you can't get drunk by drinking juice.

Of course, if you're a handsome guy and you're drinking with a beautiful woman, if she wants to give you a chance, she'll still get drunk even if you pour her a glass of juice.

Du Caige smiled and said, "If you want to drink, just drink a little."

Jiang Youxi glanced at him: "Brother, are you serious?"

"Seriously. I'm not an unreasonable person. I never said that you should abstain from alcohol, only that you should abstain from alcohol when preparing for the recording. Usually, drink a little occasionally, as long as you are in moderation. , I won't say much. Just don't drink like Peng Si Zhang."
