Chapter 1307: Chapter 698: Directly Reward a Small Goal! (Seeking Subscriptions)
Before "Wandering Earth" was released, the box office record for domestic films was around forty billion yuan.
However,
in this year’s Spring Festival Period, there were two films with box office revenues surpassing forty billion yuan, marking a golden age pinnacle for Xia Country’s domestic films. Before this, films that could reach two or three billion yuan were considered hugely successful domestic productions.
The two films in this year’s Spring Festival Period that surpassed forty billion yuan were the science fiction film "Wandering Earth" and another from Comedy Heaven called "Good Luck New Year."
It must be said that "Good Luck New Year" from Comedy Heaven performed incredibly well in the Spring Festival Period, especially in the first few days of the festival. It swept through the box office with over two billion yuan like a whirlwind.
However,
in the end, "Good Luck New Year" by Comedy Heaven still could not surpass Mist City Arts and Science University, Feiyue Media’s science fiction film "Wandering Earth."
"Wandering Earth" rose strongly based on its good reputation. In the first few days, it was not as sensational as "Good Luck New Year," but in the latter stages, "Wandering Earth" left all others far behind.
Now,
"Wandering Earth" has already achieved a box office of 4.871 billion yuan. Such a great achievement is not the end, as "Wandering Earth" has received an extended screening key.
That means, aside from its one month of release, "Wandering Earth" can also extend its screening for an additional month.
During this additional extended month of screening, earning several more billion yuan should be no problem, which means that the final box office of "Wandering Earth" will easily surpass five billion yuan.
If so, "Wandering Earth" will become the sole member of the domestic movie’s 5 Billion Box Office Club.
As for "Good Luck New Year," although its box office also surpassed forty billion yuan in the first month and received the extended screening key like "Wandering Earth,"
its momentum has significantly weakened.
During the extended screening, "Wandering Earth" could collect several millions yuan on weekdays and even tens of millions on weekends.
However, for "Good Luck New Year," there was hardly any box office revenue on weekdays, and on weekends, it could not even reach ten million, so it had no chance of approaching 5 billion yuan.
"Our ’Wandering Earth’ has become the box office champion among domestic films, which is a proud achievement,"
Ding Yue said to An Yujia with a smile.
"Yes, Principal Ding, ’Wandering Earth’ has been so successful thanks in large part to the story, which you provided for us,"
An Yujia nodded and responded with a smile.
Though Miss An’s words had a bit of flattery, Ding Yue felt she was not wrong.
"No, no, no, I didn’t provide the story. It was written by my writer friend, Er Xiong, and it has nothing to do with me,"
Ding Yue shrugged his shoulders and explained.
"Yes, yes, yes, Principal Ding, your writer friend Er Xiong is truly amazing,"
Yu Jia couldn’t help but praise.
"Actually, the most important thing is being able to present a good story on the big screen. So, the success of ’Wandering Earth’ belongs to Director Su Yangfan and his production team. As principal, I must properly reward them,"
Ding Yue rubbed his chin and analyzed.
As the president of Mist City Arts and Science University and the behind-the-scenes controller of Feiyue Group, Ding Yue’s style of conduct had always been clear about rewards and penalties.
For projects that achieved significant results or excellence, Ding Yue would definitely reward them.
"The ’Wandering Earth’ achieving the championship of Xia Country’s domestic film box office shows that Director Su Yangfan and his production team deserve commendation."
"Mmm."
An Yujia nodded, agreeing with Principal Ding’s suggestion to reward Director Su Yangfan’s team.
"In the first month, our box office reached 4.871 billion yuan, approximately how much revenue do we get from the share?"
Ding Yue immediately asked.
Only by calculating the net profits clearly could Ding Yue decide how much money to allocate for rewarding Director Su Yangfan and his team.
In fact, most of Director Su Yangfan’s production team were students from the School of Film and Television at Mist City Arts and Science University.
"Since both the production and distribution are handled by Feiyue Media, after the cinema’s share, we can receive a substantial portion of the box office revenue, expected to be over two billion yuan,"
An Yujia answered.
"Great!"
Ding Yue immediately responded, "Set a small target for me as a bonus to reward Director Su Yangfan and his production team!"
"A small target?"
An Yujia was momentarily confused.
"Uh, a small target, that is one hundred million yuan!" Ding Yue explained with a faint smile.
"All right, Principal Ding!"
An Yujia nodded, then further inquired, "So Principal Ding, shall we give this reward after we have received the revenue share, or should we give it now?"
This was a critical question.
After all, awarding Director Su Yangfan and his production team a hundred million yuan was no small sum.
