Chapter 419: Literary Film

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is quite good at the box office in North America, and there is definitely a total box office of 550 million yuan on the fourth day now, what is the total box office of the movies you filmed?

Although "Rush Hour" performed very well, it seems to be inferior to "When Happiness Knocks" at the box office?

And "Rush Hour" itself is a commercial movie, and the only purpose of commercial movies should be the box office, on the contrary, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is a literary film, and this movie is not interested in the box office.

I heard that this movie is quite popular in the United States, do you have any movies that are very popular in China?"

Many people looked at Jayne with smiles.

Hearing this, Jayne's face changed slightly.

Only then did he realize that these people didn't understand anything.

"I don't think "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is not too popular in the United States, it's just hype.

Moreover, after all, Hollywood films are delivered to the world, and so are my films, and China is a developing country, so it will not contribute much to the performance of the film market.

Rather than watching movies, they prefer to study how to solve the problem of food and clothing. Jayne said.

He thinks that these people don't know about the United States, and they don't say what they say?

I said that this movie is not popular in the United States, and this movie is not popular in the United States.

At this time, the hateful guy said again: "I also just came back from the United States, why do the people around me think that the movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is more touching, and "Rush Hour" Although some people also watch it, there are very few people who like it.

Many people are admiring Li Dabao for understanding the culture of the United States so well.

Maybe you don't know Li Dabao, he is the winner of the Fields Medal in mathematics, and just now he successfully produced fluorine element.

Solve a worldwide chemical problem. ”

Jayne was very embarrassed to hear this, and the people around him were pointing at him, and some whispered.

Some looked at him with an intriguing smile on their faces.

"I'm talking about his films, and even if he excels in other ways, it doesn't mean how popular his films are. The box office of movies is changing rapidly, and maybe his total box office will not even go up to $100 million. Jayne took it in stride.

Li Dabao also said with a smile: "I think this movie can cost 300 million US dollars." ”

"That's a big joke, I think you know what $300 million is? About $2.3 billion when converted into RMB.

Is there really a movie in Huaxia that exceeds $300 million?

Even Zhang Yishui's films shot in Hollywood have not exceeded $300 million.

Can you shoot it? That's just a joke. Jayne seemed to hear something unthinkable.

Can Huaxia, a land where talents wither, shoot such an excellent movie?

It was absolutely impossible, and he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

Li Dabao also knows that he may be a household name in Huaxia, but internationally, many people don't even know what his name is, let alone fans.

What's more, in the final analysis, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", he is just a screenwriter.

Li Dabao had a bold idea at this time.

Shoot the most classic "Titanic" in the previous life.

The main story of the Titanic is that on April 15, 1912, the luxury giant ship Titanic, carrying 1,316 passengers and 891 crew members, collided with an iceberg and sank, which is considered one of the top ten disasters in the 20th century. In 1985, the wreckage of the Titanic was found at the bottom of the sea two and a half miles in the North Atlantic. At the age of 102, Rose claims that she is the girl in the painting, and in the diving capsule, Rose begins to tell her story.

In 1912, known as the miracle of the world's industrial history, the Titanic sailed from Southampton, England to New York, USA, the rich girl Rose boarded the ship with her mother and fiancΓ© Carl, on the other hand, the unruly young painter Jack won the ticket by gambling on the dock, Rose had long seen that Carl was a complete snob, and from the bottom of his heart he did not want to marry him, and even planned to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea. At the critical moment, Jack hugged the girl Rose, and the two young people met.

In order to relieve the sorrow in the girl's heart, Jack takes Rose to discover the joy of life. Soon, the beautiful and lively Rose falls in love with the handsome and cheerful Jack, and Rose takes off her clothes and puts on the necklace that Carl gave her, and asks Jack to paint a portrait of her as a testimony of their love. When they were having sex, the Titanic hit an iceberg.

A terrible tragedy happened, there was chaos on the Titanic, and in the midst of the crisis, the good and the ugly, the noble and the despicable in human nature became more distinct. Jack gave up his chance to survive to his lover Rose, and he himself froze to death in the sea of ice.

After the old Rose finished talking about this mournful love, she sank the priceless jewels to the bottom of the sea, and let it sleep with Jack and this love at the bottom of the sea.

In fact, there is indeed a catastrophe of the Titanic in this world.

Just a few days ago, Li Dabao accidentally saw this story.

The investment of 200 million US dollars in film shooting will be at least 1.5 billion yuan when converted into RMB.

But it grossed $2.2 billion.

However, if this movie is filmed, it will definitely shock the world.

It can definitely make these Hollywood entertainers who look down on them stunned.

But there is still a lot of difficulty in filming this movie, after all, the filming of the Titanic requires 200 million US dollars, which is definitely not something Li Dabao can afford.

Because of charity, even after "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" ends, all the box office earned is not enough, not to mention, post-production, publicity, will cost a lot of money.

And the risk of shooting is also very high.

If you don't get it right, you will lose all of Li Dabao's funds.

This is definitely a bold attempt.

Looking at Jayne, Li Dabao felt that the only advantage of this guy was his hard mouth.

Li Dabao ignored him.

For Li Dabao's ignorance, although Jayne is angry, he will not find himself bored.

Talking to this guy, he doesn't have any confidence at all.

However, he feels that this movie has little to do with Li Dabao, after all, he is just a screenwriter.

Li Dabao posted on Weibo: "Dabao Studio will shoot a love movie at the end of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", with an investment of 200 million US dollars, which is not something that Dabao Studio can solve independently, so other film companies are invited to join in the shooting. The story is based on a true love story. ”

A lot of people are commenting below.

"Bao Ye, the pace of your life is really a little difficult for us ordinary people to keep up. You've just finished singing "Star Wish", and I'm still immersed in this beautiful song, and now you're saying you're going to make a $200 million movie?

Is this true?

Personally, I think it's safer.

200 million US dollars, the slightest mistake and fall into a place of no return. ”

Many of you here also got the news.

Shangguan Qing'er asked softly, "Husband, is it very risky for you to do this?"

Li Dabao said: "If you want to play, you have to play a big one." ”

Jayne saw that Li Dabao was going to invest $200 million to make a disaster love movie.

He felt that Li Dabao had something wrong with his brain. β€œβ€

Seeing this news, many film companies were moved, after all, none of Li Dabao's previous movies were not profitable.

But it never cooperates with other companies.

Maybe it's an opportunity.

Light Media Group.

Kyoto Film Studio.

Huaxia Film Studio.

Extreme Films Group.

All ready to move.

Major film companies have called.

They did not hesitate to cooperate with Li Dabao.

Since Li Dabao's debut, there has been no time when he doesn't make money.

Even the Extreme Group, which had conflicts with Li Dabao before, also wants to invest in Li Dabao's new film.

These people have all recognized a truth, as long as they invest in Li Dabao's movies, they will definitely make money.

With the opportunity to make money, Li Dabao will naturally not forget his good brother Du Zida, who is now at the helm of the Li family.

Li Dabao led Xiaoli and Xiaowen to sign the contract.

The contract stipulates that Li Dabao will personally shoot "Titanic", and no one else has the right to intervene in the filming.

According to the contract, Dabao Studios will invest $100 million, but the box office will be 60 percent.

Other film companies invested a total of $100 million, accounting for 40 percent of the box office.

There are a lot of things to write about in the contract.

The approximate plot of the film, the approximate date of the filming of the film, the end date, etc., such a huge amount of money, of course, needs to be paid in batches.

There are also various unilateral breaches.

Detailed matters need to be coordinated by each company.

In the end, the decision was made by the bigwigs of the major companies.

The filming date of the movie was set for the end of the release of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

This is also taking into account the situation of Dabao Studio's funding.

After signing the agreement, everyone went to the hotel for a party, Li Dabao invited the bigwigs of the cooperative company to drink, and in order to show his sincerity, Li Dabao also deliberately took more than a dozen radishes grown in Wangjia Village.

"Third brother, I feel that these dishes, only the radish you took from the countryside, is more to my liking. Du Zida said.

"Big brother, the taste of the two of us is relatively close, this radish has a good taste, I like it very much. Li Dabao took a bite of the radish dipping sauce and said with a smile.

Du Zida took the wine glass and said: "Third brother, although my brother supports you very much, no matter what you do, I will support you, but my brother is still a little worried, you must know that you have never mastered such a large amount of money before, and you have invested 200 million US dollars in filming, are you really sure to make money?"

However, I still have to state in advance that I can't get back even a penny of this money, and I won't say half a word.

I'm going to say half a word, and I can't explain it to your second sister. Du Zida said drunkly.

"Big brother, let me tell you like this, if it weren't for my lack of funds, I would never have made a fortune with them, this movie can definitely make money.

Just trust me.

Who will pit you if I pit you?" Li Dabao also said with a smile.

You must know that this movie has been able to surpass it in terms of the box office of movies in the previous life, and no movie has been able to surpass it for more than ten years.

"Since Bao Ye came back from the countryside, I have found that he has changed a lot, he is not so domineering, and the classic works are one after another.

And when it comes to filming, other companies are allowed to get involved, which is a good thing.

I like this treasure very much.

I hope Bao Ye can bring us more good works. ”

"After listening to "Star Wish", I was immediately moved by Li Fei'er's voice, which is so good.

And Bao Ye's song is so good, is Bao Ye a son of the plane?

God seems to have opened a bug in his brain.

Otherwise, how could every song he wrote be a classic among classics?

Every movie will be a hit.

And he is not only good in the entertainment industry, but also very well in the mathematics and chemistry worlds. ”

Zhang Shuangjiang posted on Weibo: "Personally, I think Li Dabao's choice to invest in the film is 200 million US dollars, which is a bit exaggerated, and it is just a gimmick."

The investment is less than $100 million, or even $50 million.

Although Li Dabao is not a good director, he is a good entertainer.

He knows how to take advantage of any advertising opportunities in his hands.

So far, no romance movie has made it to the top 100 at the box office.

Don't say that Li Dabao is just a Chinese director.

Even Hollywood star David is no exception. ”

After a short break, Zhang Shuangjiang published again: "I have studied the world's top 100 movies. It's quite difficult for a romance movie to make $400 million at the box office, and many people don't like to watch tragedy.

I'll put my words here today, if Li Dabao's movie "Titanic" exceeds $400 million, you can come to me, you can scold me as much as you want, and I will definitely not fight back. ”

Zhang Shuangjiang's words made the major companies that had already signed the contract react.

The movies that Li Dabao has not made are all small and big, and there are no big productions of 200 million US dollars at all.

If Li Dabao really loses money, it doesn't matter, he is making movies for charity.

And why didn't he turn down extreme music this time?

The share of the Li family's investment is relatively small.

also leaked out from the side, and Li Dabao is very likely not to have any confidence in filming this movie.

It would be bad if that were the case.

However, the contract has just been signed, and if it is breached, a large amount of liquidated damages will be compensated.

This stumped the major film companies.

And "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was not filmed by Li Dabao.

Li Dabao only appeared as a screenwriter at that time.

There is a feeling of being fooled by major companies.

But if you break your teeth, you have to swallow it in your stomach, and now is not the time to tear your face with Li Dabao.

In this way, Li Dabao rested at home for a few days.

There is no action.

This made Li Dabao's fans breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, in a few days, classic works are one after another. It's dizzying.
