"When will the plan for the sequel to "Fast Pursuit" be put on the agenda? The sequel is promising, the main actors basically no longer need to appear in the first part because of the plot needs, so the salary can also be controlled within a reasonable range, as long as you are the core, changing a group of actors will not affect the box office too much, and the production cost will not soar, we have comprehensively evaluated, and the production of the second part is very feasible. When Liu Guoyang met Zhou Bai, he proposed to produce the second part of "Fast Pursuit".

It is not difficult to understand that Liu Guoyang wants to launch a sequel while the iron is hot, from a commercial point of view, "Fast Pursuit" is now a golden key, which can open the door of the treasure house, and it has already hit a door, there is no reason to let it go, Liu Guoyang himself is very confident that as long as it is launched one by one, Bai Xiang Studio will definitely be able to make "Fast Pursuit" a blockbuster series of films, creating a precedent for the mainland film industry.

At present, there is still a blank in the production of commercial series of films in the mainland, which means that as long as it is successful, Baixiang Studio will undoubtedly make history.

When it comes to foreign series of movies, whether it is "Star Wars" or "Harry Potter" or series such as "007" that have been filmed for decades, the production company has made a lot of money, which makes Liu Guoyang envious.

In Hollywood, there is a very profound notion that sequel movies have a much higher success rate than non-sequel movies, and if you have a blockbuster movie, the best way to have a second blockbuster movie is to make a sequel to the first one.

"My opinion is that there is no need to rush to start the production plan of the sequel for the time being, let it go first, "Fast Pursuit" has consumed the enthusiasm of many audiences, if we launch a sequel too soon, it will make the audience lose interest in watching the movie, and the expectations of fans must also have time to brew, only after the expectations of fans reach the highest point, we will launch the second part with the trend, so that it can be a big hit. ”

Zhou Bai shook his head and rejected Liu Guoyang's proposal, the "Fast Pursuit" series is of course important enough to Bai Xiang Studio, but it is not a good idea to rush out the sequel now, and it will be difficult to break through the results of the first part again.

"How long is it going to be? You don't want to live for years, do you? Liu Guoyang asked, worried that Zhou Bai would put the plan on hold, and then let the series of movies that could have been a big hit finally go bankrupt.

"Now Huayi and Xinxiang are also asking us about the plan for the production of the sequel, although it will take some time for the final box office to arrive, but they are already concerned about the sequel, everyone can see that this movie is very suitable for making a sequel, and it also leaves enough room for imagination in terms of plot, and even they said that if there is a need in the script, they can tell them at any time. ”

"Let's start at the end of next year, next year, there are still a lot of things to polish the script, and the script department in the studio can write it according to my initial framework, anyway, it's not too late to start production after polishing it repeatedly. We have been going on marketing, doing all kinds of soft marketing, and the production cycle of the film is about one to one and a half years is very appropriate, so the release time after two and a half years is just right, not long or short, what do you think?"

"If I follow my idea, I will release a sequel again in a year, but you think it's not good or reasonable to go too fast, and the time can probably be determined, I have no other opinion. But are you really not going to write a sequel?, are you really relieved to leave it to the script department to write it?" Liu Guoyang said with a smile, after all, the studio is still Zhou Bai, and his decision is also very reasonable, and he can't find anything wrong, so he didn't object.

"As long as the basic framework is still there, then there are not too many problems, you can change it if you write it off, write it out for me to review first, and then use the most suitable version, this time to write this script, just let them improve the relevant settings of the killer world, this is my purpose, you know mine, let me write I am really busy, rather than writing badly, it is better to let them add burden. ”

The script department is now very valued, they are responsible for the writing and review and optimization of film scripts, many of the films invested and produced by Baixiang Studio this year have been reviewed and optimized from their hands, and two or three original scripts have been written, and now they have entered the stage of production plan review, and it is likely that film production will start next year.

The studio wants to diversify, and it is far from enough to rely on Zhou Bai alone, and Zhou Bai not only wants the studio to be corporatized, but he also wants to be collectivized.

Zhou Bai even has a huge idea in his heart, in the future, Baixiang Studio will become an entertainment group with full coverage of online and offline, rather than simple film production and distribution.

"Do you want to explain this plan to Hua Yi and the new picture? As the accounts continue to arrive, they must also become more and more enthusiastic, and even urgently want the sequel of the movie to be released, let them wait for three years, will they have any opinions?" asked Liu Guoyang.

"I still have to tell them, after all, the three of us are allies, I know they will have some ideas, but it doesn't matter, forming an alliance is to get rid of dissent and seek cooperation, since "Fast Pursuit" is our project, of course, it must be carried out according to our plan, which they will understand, the same reason, I never interfere with the production plan of the new picture and Huayi, I only decide whether to invest or not, this is not only to keep the three independent, but also to cooperate, which is beneficial to the three companies, forget it, wait for me to call them personally to explain. ”

Zhou Bai was very calm, and his tone didn't even fluctuate, after working together for a few years, it would definitely be wrong to say that he didn't have any opinions on the allies and business partners who had formed an alliance, precisely because this way of keeping a distance and cooperating made the three families have been at peace with each other, but they seemed intimate.

Zhou Bai still had a little other thing to say to Liu Guoyang in his heart, whether it was Xinxiang or Huayi, he was wary of Bai Xiang Studio, because the development of Bai Xiang Studio was too fast, and it was even so fast that these two combined were only one Bai Xiang Studio.

The current Light and Shadow Entertainment Co., Ltd., which was officially renamed at the end of the year, is strong enough to threaten many people and even its allies, so neither Zhang Weiping nor the Wang brothers are willing to one day they can only snort and even become a gangster.

"You decide, let me ask you something, according to your ideas, does the director of the sequel still use Cheng Xiaodong? His price is not as good as the first one, if we want to invite him, the second film will increase the salary by at least one million dollars. Liu Guoyang nodded and asked casually, it is not an exaggeration to say that director Cheng Xiaodong's salary directly increased by one million dollars.
