Chapter 270 Huge Bonus
Because of the delayed key specially approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, [The Abyss] was shown for a full month and was not withdrawn from the theaters until the Children's Day holiday. The ever-changing entertainment industry is vividly reflected in this short month.
As the reputation of [You Are the One] grew, publicity from all sides also gushed out like a blowout, attracting countless fans. In addition, in order to support Qin Xi's film debut, fans finally found one of the few opportunities to spend money on the film, and watched it twice, three times, or even n times. The final box office of [You Are the One] was fixed at 12 billion.
12 billion box office, in 2011, even for a commercial blockbuster with a stellar cast, it was considered an excellent result. Not to mention the initial investment of "The Abyss" was only 3000 million.
[Beyond the Abyss] not only made a glorious comeback and became the box office champion of the May Day holiday in 2011, but also became the No.1 box office so far this year. Even the masterpieces of famous directors and international blockbusters released during the Spring Festival were not as good as the little-known [Beyond the Abyss]. Although the performance of [Beyond the Abyss] was beyond everyone's expectations, anyone who has seen the movie will feel that it was reasonable.
Qin Xi himself was also unexpected. Qin Xi remembered that his previous life [The Abyss and You] was released in 2015, and the final result was more than 6 million. Although the word of mouth was very good and the overall popularity was also very good, the box office ranking in 2015, when the film market was booming, could only be ranked in the top ten.
In this life, the market environment was not as good as that of 2011 a few years later. Qin Xi thought that it would be good enough if the box office of [You Are the One] could be on par with that of the previous life. Unexpectedly, it almost doubled, which was far beyond Qin Xi's expectations. Qin Xi was really proud and gratified. Her joining did not bury [You Are the One], but made it seen by more people and brought it to a new height.
What surprised Qin Xi even more was the tangible financial gains that [The Abyss and You] brought her. Now everyone in Qin Xi's studio, Mei Ge, including President Song and Sister Meng, look at Qin Xi as if they were the Warren Buffett of the domestic entertainment industry. No one knows better than them how Qin Xi picked out such a three-no script from among so many big productions. No one knows better than them how Qin Xi overcame all difficulties to take on this script, and how she invested almost all of her assets in order to start the filming smoothly.
At that time, many people thought Qin Xi was crazy, especially Meng Jie. She knew that Qin Xi had good vision and was confident, but being too confident turned into arrogance. Qin Xi was brought up by her. She became popular as soon as [Legend of the Heroes] was broadcast. After a few years, she gradually grew into a top star, and her salary naturally reached the top. In the entertainment industry, as long as you reach a certain level, making money becomes the easiest thing. When money comes quickly and easily, extravagance will naturally become a trend.
But Qin Xi is definitely an outlier. Among all the big-name stars she has seen, Qin Xi is the one with the lowest material desire. From her debut to now, Sister Meng has never seen Qin Xi buy herself a luxury item or a brand-name bag. But she is definitely not stingy. She is more active in giving out bonuses than anyone else. Qin Xi gives her the feeling that she has found a goal, and those worldly temptations that disturb her cannot enter her heart.
But if Qin Xi all in on this crappy movie that doesn't look like it will make any splash, Sister Meng would rather she just go shopping and squander it, at least the money can be used on Qin Xi herself.
At that time, Sister Meng didn't know how many times she advised Qin Xi not to be so stupid as to be fooled by others. Money is real only when it is firmly held in one's own hands. Don't waste your time.
Sister Meng still remembers what Qin Xi said at that time, and she may never forget it. Qin Xi said that she is still young and has the opportunity to make mistakes. She is willing to invest the money she has earned over the past few years into something she thinks is valuable, so as not to regret it in the future. It doesn't matter if she makes a mistake, the worst thing is to start over!
Mengjie sighed at the time, it is true that young people are full of vigor and will not turn back until they hit the wall! Thinking about it now, it is really a slap in the face. It seems that every time Qin Xi's choice is so unexpected, but the result is always the same. And as an agent, she has been worried a lot, but why is it always contrary to the correct answer? Mengjie couldn't help but sigh, if Qin Xi really listened to her in everything, maybe she would still be hanging around in the ancient idol circle now~
It turns out that not only outsiders underestimate Qin Xi, but also her agent. At this moment, Sister Meng is really grateful that Qin Xi is so thoughtful. If she doesn't make a move, it's fine. But once she makes a move, it's amazing. After the net profit of [The Abyss and You] is distributed, Qin Xi's investment of 1000 million plus the film remuneration, the final dividend should be around 3 million.
This figure is not significant in terms of box office, but it is quite amazing now that it has become pure profit. In other words, Qin Xi alone earned one-third of the three-year bet agreement with Meige in the first six months of the bet agreement. The entire Meige was relieved, and Song Yun was even more moved. She remembered that when Qin Xi proposed the fantasy of "ten billion in three years" half a year ago, the ambitious and forward-looking plan that finally convinced her had already thought of this step.
Song Yun was full of doubts at the time, but for some reason, she saw the vigorous vitality and hope in Qin Xi. More than a decade ago, she bet everything on Mei Ge; now, she saw herself in Qin Xi, so she bet Mei Ge's future on Qin Xi. Just like more than a decade ago, Song Yun believed that she had made the right bet. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Qin Xi made a good start, and Mei Ge had already won half of the bet.
Not only in terms of economics, the success of [The Abyss and You] has brought huge bonuses to Qin Xi in all aspects. A movie with a box office of over 8.5 billion and a Douban score of , although it cannot be said that she has completely established a foothold in the film industry, she has also made a name for herself. After all, among the new generation of actresses in the domestic entertainment industry, it is rare to have such an achievement.
Qin Xi was successfully awarded by the authorities as the first female AIDS prevention ambassador. As a young actor personally recognized by the authorities who can bring positive energy and take on new missions, she is no longer the same as ordinary traffic idols.
Shenair, which had previously promised to give Qin Xi a promotion but then changed its mind, now came back and enthusiastically sought cooperation, saying that it had successfully applied to the headquarters this time and could officially announce Qin Xi as the brand spokesperson as soon as the contract was signed. However, Qin Xi explicitly refused to continue cooperating with the brand that had stepped on her at her most difficult time, because now there are more top luxury brands that have come to her door than just Shenair.
Business cooperation is secondary. What makes the colleagues in the studio happy the most is the numerous invitations for movie scripts. But Qin Xi said without hesitation that she didn't want any of them. It's not that easy to add icing on the cake. If she wants to add, she has to find the icing on the cake that helped her in her time of need!
