In the following days, "Psychological Crime" did not live up to the expectations of the producer, conquering the city on May 1st, leading the box office rankings for several consecutive days.

After earning 52 million yuan on April 30, it won 210 million yuan on May 1, and the box office did not drop significantly after the word-of-mouth came out in the next two days, and they got 220 million and 190 million yuan respectively.

After the three-day holiday, its cumulative box office came to a terrifying 672 million yuan, which shook the entire film market!

Reliable stories, excellent actors, the precise control ability of big directors, and the overwhelming publicity lineup are the secrets of its success.

Of course, what cannot be ignored is the reputation of the audience, and the circle of friends is vying to recommend it, which is the most powerful promotion!

Zhang Chudu felt that this data was a bit exaggerated, with a box office of more than 600 million in three and a half days, which is simply a result that only top blockbusters should have.

The box office is soaring all the way, which is hard for the artists, they have to put a celebration still every three or five days, starting from breaking 100 million and sending it out, almost in real time.

Before, they all thought that the speed could not be so fast, the celebration poster reached the point of two a day, and there was even one more to celebrate "Psychological Crime" breaking the box office record of the same type of movie, which simply made the artists keep working overtime!

In fact, Zhang Chu can also feel the popularity of this movie, and his classmates are discussing the difference between the movie and the plot.

And the amount of news and discussion on the Internet is endless, and the beginning of May is occupied by this crime-themed movie.

"Psychological Crime Easter Egg Video, Nationwide Hit!"

"The box office of psychological crime broke 600 million in three days after its release, and it was the first IP of suspense reasoning!"

Liao Chao was tied up again, and Emperor Zhou's comment on "Psychological Crime" was touching. ”

"Berlin actor Liao Chao is crazy and has won praise from thousands of audiences!"

"It's coming, you haven't seen "Psychological Crime" and you're out!"

The news of the media is being released all the time, which is not something that the publicity team of the film can come up with, but the media consciously releases it, and it still forms a movie-watching craze.

Because this is the current hot spot in the entertainment industry, it is incredible that a domestic film can achieve such a high box office!

And the two leading brokerage companies obviously did not stop at this time, this is an excellent opportunity to get on the top, the movie has a box office, and it has a reputation for word of mouth, maybe it will win a few awards at the end of the year.

So they can be seen frequently in various TV shows, especially Liao Chao, who is sought after by netizens, handsome and acting, he is already a first-line male star, and now he is throwing away the competitors behind.

If there is a suitable role, the first thing the filmmaker will consider will be Liao Chao, not the rest!

The investment in "Psychological Crime" is not large, the actors, directors, and scripts did not spend much money, and the investment of 80 million yuan was used for filming and publicity and distribution many times.

Thanks to the super high box office of the movie, it successfully returned to its original cost on the second day of release, and it was all earned after that!

So it's only been three or four days since it was released, and the producers can't wait to get the sequel on the line, after all, making a sequel is the most profitable thing, and the risk is very small.

……

"Yida Pictures wants to film "Psychological Crime 2", and today I called our boss to talk about it. Do you think it's feasible?" Zhou Kang said as he handed Zhang Chu an apple.

Zhang Chu took the apple and threw it up casually, then caught it without looking at it, and replied: "It's feasible, it's feasible, but I feel a little anxious, I want to make a sequel before this movie is released, and their stalls are too big." ”

Zhou Kang shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Actually, it is understandable, if you start preparing for filming this year, it will be released again this time next year, and the sequel will be shortened, so that the audience will not forget." If the first part was several years away from the second part, it is estimated that it would have been forgotten by the audience long ago!"

"That's the way it is, but can Director Xu's body support such a high-intensity continuous shooting?" Zhang Chu snorted lightly, "If the second part is to be filmed, the cost will definitely be very high." At least Liao Chao's salary will rise to 20 million yuan, and even dividends will be added. ”

The film adaptation rights of "Psychological Crime" were authorized by Zhang Chu to Director Xu Ji's studio, and Yida Pictures was able to participate in the investment only because Xu Ji Studio didn't want to take risks alone.

Now Yida Pictures has tasted the sweetness, of course, it wants to squeeze out the rest of the small investors, and it will jointly shoot a sequel with Director Xu Ji's studio.

It's just that there is a problem in front of me now, because Zhang Chu has registered all the copyrights of "Psychological Crime", but the authorization is only given to City Light!

If they want to shoot, they can't get around Zhang Chu no matter what, so Yida Pictures came to Zhang Chu.

If Zhang Chu didn't agree, they wouldn't be able to use Fang Mu's character's name, character relationship and past experience at all!

Yida Pictures' idea is to change the director, and according to Director Xu Ji's character, he disdains to shoot a sequel. Anyway, their film studio will definitely make money, and now I want you to think about whether to write the synopsis yourself, or authorize their screenwriters to write the script themselves, and then give you a name. ”

"Are they so sure that I will definitely agree?" Zhang Chu sighed twice, and his expression did not show any inclination at all.

Zhou Kang nodded and said, "Of course, they offered a very high price. Originally, the copyright fee of your "Psychological Crime" was only 1 million yuan and a 2% box office dividend. They don't even need you to write something out there, they just need Fang Mu, for the sake of this name, Mr. Tu means 5 million yuan copyright fee plus 3% box office dividend!"

On the surface, this agreement is indeed tempting, and a simple license can make so much money.

If the box office of "Psychological Crime 2" can be consistent with the previous work, the 3% box office dividend is almost 30 million yuan in income, plus 5 million copyright fees, and 35 million pre-tax income can simply laugh at the entire entertainment industry, so that those writers and screenwriters can only look up!

However, Zhang Chu knew very well what he wanted, he shook his head and said, "I don't agree with this plan. ”

Now it was Zhou Kang's turn to be confused, "Why? Do you think the money is too small? This can be negotiated with them." ”

If this business can be successful, Menglong Culture Media will not only be able to get 10% of Zhang Chu's income, but also get a part of the benefit fee from Yida Pictures.

"Money is only one aspect, and I think such a hasty project is likely to destroy the IP of psychological crime. And the stories written by others don't fit very well into it, I have a whole idea of the whole series, but I really don't have time to write it right now. I'll give them permission when I'm done. ”

Obviously, a person can earn hundreds of millions, but if he ruins his reputation just for the tens of millions in front of him, it will simply outweigh the losses!

Zhou Kang also has no way to take this little ancestor, he is very reluctant to the conditions offered by the other party, if Zhang Chu can get an income of 35 million, it should be the most profitable writer in China!

"Okay, I'll go and communicate with them, I hope it won't affect the cooperation between Yida Group and us on the ghost blowing lantern project. ”

Zhang Chu patted the table and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, be confident, although our net worth is only less than one-ten-thousandth of Yida Group, we have a normal cooperative relationship with them, and we are not begging them to ask for that project." ”

"I think the Yida Group is already a little impatient now, and it didn't give anything substantive at all in the latest negotiations. If they think that the ghost blows out the lamp is not worth the price, I am afraid that they will also secretly contact the rest of the writers, and it will be a little troublesome to give up on us at that time, and there is no regret medicine in the world to sell!"

As soon as he talked about this, Zhou Kang was worried, obviously the conditions of Yida Group were already very superior, but Zhang Chu was stunned and did not agree.

He was very worried that the negotiations would break down, and there would be no second company with such courage in China other than Yida.

Zhang Chu also felt that it was a little tricky, and it would really be a pity to miss such an opportunity.

The so-called negotiation is a psychological battle to see who can not hold their breath first and admit defeat.

At the moment, we are not just talking about a book of exquisite ancient cities, but the entire ghost blowing lantern series! If you let it out simply and cheaply, I am afraid that you will regret it after the later profits come out.

So Zhang Chu gritted his teeth and insisted: "Maybe they are betting that we will give in first, let's stick to the bottom line first, I don't believe it, there is a more suitable IP in China than the ghost blowing the lamp!"

It's not that Zhang Chu Yelang is arrogant, but he has such self-confidence, and the only one who can compete with the ghost blowing the lamp on the IP is the tomb robbery notes, but the tomb robbery notes are still in Zhang Chu's head at this time.

"Who said there wasn't? Journey to the West is a clear super IP, you said that they directly made Journey to the West-related movies, and then made the filming locations according to myths and legends, Journey to the West doesn't cost a penny. Zhou Kang mentioned casually.

"It's artificial, if they want to choose Journey to the West, they must have done it a long time ago, they don't need to negotiate with us for so long, doesn't it take time and energy?"

In fact, Zhou Kang is also a little unwilling, if this business can be done, then he is the top agent in the industry.

Not to mention China, even if you look at the world, how many agents can help connect writers with a theme amusement park?

Half a lifetime later, even if I tell stories to my grandchildren, I will feel very proud and proud!

So Zhou Kang nodded, "It seems that the attitude is to be tough, and we can't let them think that we are easy to bully." ”

"yes, that's how it should be. Then I'll go first, you can get busy yourself. Zhang Chu tossed the apple again and walked towards the outside of the office.

It's finally a million words, and it's worth celebrating.

On this festive day, let's vote for everyone's monthly pass and recommendation vote!
