Speaking of the biggest winner of the Spring Festival Film Festival, it is probably Jia Ling Jia Ling, who broke two records with "Hello, Li Huanying".
The first is to break the previous box office record of Jenny Liu's film "The Rest of Us" and become the first Chinese female director to do so.
The second is to break the box office record of the first film "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in Muye District and become the new box office record holder of the director's first film.
According to industry estimates, Jia Ling's movie box office is expected to reach 5.2 billion yuan, and Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" tops the list with a box office of 5.69 billion yuan.
Jia Ling's track record as a first-time director is so impressive and the box office is so strong that he believes it's achievable.
As a star, Shen Teng surpassed Huang Bo and became the first person in Chinese film history with a box office of 18.548 billion yuan.
Shen Teng was originally a guest actor, but Jia Ling's "courtship" made him the leading actor. As his new partner, Shen Teng can be said to be laughing constantly.
His relationship with Jia Ling is a win-win, so it's a win-win for them.
Zhang Xiaofei, who played "Li Huanying" in the film, finally became popular with this role. Both his acting skills and makeup style were well received by the audience.
As an artist signed by Jia Ling, Zhang Xiaofei finally gained a lot by relying on Jia Ling's strength over the years.
However, according to media reports, Shen Teng paid 30 million yuan and Zhang Yimou 3 million yuan for the film, although the couple's earnings are almost certain because they did not sign a box office sharing agreement.
Therefore, many people are curious about the income of Jia Ling, who is both a director and a star. Not all box office income goes to Jia Ling.
For a movie to be released, it must first have an invested producer, find a distributor with the producer, and then a distributor contacts theaters to schedule the film for distribution.
It can be said that in addition to the film development fund and sales tax, cinemas will receive about 50% of the share, and the rest will be shared by the film parties.
Adding in Jia Ling's estimated box office of US$5 billion, investors will receive one-third of the proceeds, or approximately US$1.4 billion.
As investors in this film, there are not only Jia Ling’s Dawan Entertainment, but also other investors such as Beijing Culture and Confucianism.
In fact, this is understandable, after all, more than one investor will share some risks, so whether it is profit or loss, investors can bear it.
Of all the investors, Bowling Entertainment accounts for 20% of total revenue and even a small portion of total net revenue, probably around $300 million.
Dawan Entertainment founder Jia Ling, who holds a 35% stake, is estimated to ultimately earn about $100 million, a fraction of the box office revenue and less than expected.
But this figure gave Jia Ling the financial freedom that many people envied.
In order to be able to make a movie with high box office, Jia Ling paid more attention to filming and commemorated his mother with real emotions. This movie can make the audience scream, which is enough to prove Jia Ling's success.
Or as Jia Ling said: I didn’t become a director just to be a director, I became Li Huanying just to be a director.
Many new scenes in the film also allow the audience to feel that Fat Carina in their hearts is still talented online, and her creative spirit is admirable.
Conclusion: From skits to movies, Hello, Li Huanying is still popular. Even if you know the general plot, the audience still chooses to go to the cinema, which also shows the role of box office appeal.
I don’t know if Jia Ling will disappear in the future, but her financial freedom will always exist.
I hope that in the future, Jia Ling can bring more surprises to the audience. I believe it is possible with her power. I wish her all the best.
