On December 17, half a month has passed since the release of "The Matrix", and this terrifying film is still reaping the box office around the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it has retreated to second place at the North American box office, it is quite good to win the box office chart for three weekends!

"Congratulations! The North American box office has won three times in a row, and I have never seen any Chinese film do such a thing. Every time I see you, it's a reminder that I shouldn't miss the opportunity to invest in The Matrix!"

Wang Bin said very familiarly, he was wearing a dark blue suit, and he looked very noble.

At present, Lin Han and Wang Bin are both here to participate in the Italian design art exhibition of the superstar of the National Museum -- "Creativity Changes Life".

Originally, Lin Han didn't know much about art, but Chen Jiaxuan couldn't help but want to come over for a visit, but he didn't expect to meet Wang Bin here.

Faced with Lin Han's congratulations, Lin Han naturally accepted all the orders, and he replied: "Even if there is no "The Matrix", your "True and False Monkey King" will make enough money back. I told Chen Jiaxuan that I would probably go to see this movie during the Spring Festival, and your actor selection is very attractive. ”

Wang Bin looked at Chen Jiaxuan, who was wearing a dress and stopped in front of the artwork not far away, and he took out a cigarette, pointed to the door and said, "Why don't you go outside and talk?"

To be honest, Lin Han's addiction to smoking is very small, and he usually doesn't smoke at all, but he knows this skill, and he is not interested in design masters such as Ponti, Sotsas, and Mendini in the exhibition hall.

The atmosphere of the times on these things is too strong, and they were considered creative at the beginning, but they are all commonplace now, so Lin Han nodded very simply, he happened to be a little bored alone.

Although there was a conflict with Wang Bin at the beginning, the two sides did not expand the matter, but had a feeling of not knowing each other, and there are not many people with this kind of investment vision!

When Lin Han filmed "The Matrix", there were a lot of people who were optimistic, but there were very few people who were optimistic about the box office of the movie and wanted to invest, and only Wang Bin took the initiative to contact Lin Han.

At a time when this tide of capital is frantically pouring into the film industry, a good vision is more important than anything else!

The two leaned on the railing of the aisle, each holding a burning cigarette between their fingers, and Wang Bin suddenly said, "To be honest, I envy you." If you can rely on your talent to get to where you are today, you are not only very famous at home, but also very strong internationally, which I can't compare to you. ”

"You're not bad, many people have lost money when they make movies, but you have always made money, and Bole is very popular these days!"

"We don't have to flatter each other anymore. Wang Bin flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and he suddenly said with a straight face: "For me, how much money I make is actually about the same." But I want to make money from foreigners, and that's going to be a very good political capital. Are you going to have a movie for the next one, or we're going to play a big one!"

Lin Han spat the smoke out of his mouth, "What big do you want to play?"

Wang Bin knocked on the railing with his hand, and said in an unusually calm tone: "To shoot a Hollywood-level sci-fi blockbuster, we will each invest half of it, and at the same time, you join as a work and director, if you divide it, you will be six and I will four, how about it?

"Sounds great, but I don't think I'll be making a movie next year, and I'll have to get the next two 'The Matrix' out. Lin Han told the truth, the conditions given by Wang Bin were already very good, and he tacitly agreed that Lin Han's works and directors could account for 10% of the share.

"I'm not in a hurry, whether it's next year or the year after or beyond. If you're looking for an investment partner, don't forget about me. I've got $70 million to spend on your movie!"

Wang Bin is ambitious and wants to go to Hollywood, but unfortunately he is not familiar with life there, and it is easy to be cheated if he goes rashly, after all, there are countless capitals that have been cheated by Hollywood over the years.

And among the people he knows, Lin Han has Hollywood-level strength, he doesn't mix with Hollywood, but his works are more amazing than Hollywood blockbusters!

Lin Han looked at Wang Bin's expression seriously, it didn't look like he was lying. "We each invested $70 million, and the cost of filming this film alone is $140 million, have you thought about how much box office it will take to pay for itself?"

"I can accept a slight loss on the first film, not to mention that even if we don't recoup the cost at the box office, we can recoup the loss in the rest. The cost of $140 million is at least $500 million. I have faith in you!"

Wang Bin patted Lin Han on the shoulder, full of confidence, who made the person in front of him have turned creating miracles into a commonplace, at present, the investment in this "Matrix" is less than 200 million yuan, but the global box office is rushing to 700 million US dollars.

Lin Han shook his head, "I really want to know, which work do you want me to make, which work gives you confidence?"

"It's too much. Of course I want you to make "The Three-Body Problem", this series of works will definitely make more money than a single work, and it is also well-known. In addition, "Inception" and "Interstellar" are also very good! As for "Hyperion", I think it is suitable for making a TV series, after all, this novel has such a rich plot, and the movie time is too short to show what is in it. ”

It can be seen that Wang Bin has a whole research and understanding of Lin Han's works, which is what Lin Han expected.

He settled down and said, "Actually, I also have this intention, since you are willing to share the risk, it is also very good." I'll let you know when I want to make a movie, maybe I'll change my mind at any point!"

No one can say whether Lin Han will come up with such an idea, and he also wants to restore these science fiction novels into movies, after all, they were originally expressed in words through movie screens.

Especially "The Three-Body Problem", before he was reborn in this world, he didn't have a chance to see the movie released, and now if he can shoot this story, it will be a great thing!

Wang Bin stretched out his fist and touched Lin Han, which was almost an agreement between them.

After the two of them pressed the cigarette butt and threw it in the trash, Wang Bin broke the silence when he spoke, "Anyway, how much does the US box office of "The Matrix" have now?"

"Half a month after its release, it should reach $240 million today. ”

"This is the rhythm of 300 million, how much box office can there be every day?" Wang Bin sighed with emotion, but there were no regrets in his heart at this time.

Lin Han thought about it seriously, and he pursed his mouth and said: "On weekdays, it will fluctuate around seven or eight million, and on weekends, it should be able to return to the ten million level." There are still 60 million left, I don't know if I can do it!"

Wang Bin patted the cigarette ash on his hand and said nonchalantly: "What's so difficult about this, it's just 60 million, and 300 million is no problem." You are also a dominant player at the domestic box office. ”

The box office trend of "The Matrix" is terrible, and the domestic box office has reached 1.41 billion yuan after so many days of release, and it is unlikely that it will break the box office record, but it can continue to create its own glory!

A new piece of flowing water, an iron-clad hacker.

After beating "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Ace Bodyguard", "The Matrix" beat the rest of the films released on Friday, and it seems that none of these films have affected it in the slightest!

The word-of-mouth of the film is very rebellious, and the audience's circle of friends is almost blown up, and the audience who watches it for the second and third times abounds!

240 million in North America, almost 220 million in China, plus the box office in the rest of the world, and now the global box office of "The Matrix" has come to 750 million US dollars!

It's only a matter of time before it breaks 800 million, but I don't know if it can reach 1 billion!

This is a threshold, a very high, very high threshold, and the movies that can reach the box office of $1 billion in the world are all the best of the best, and many good movies have fallen on this threshold.

According to the current trend, "The Matrix" still needs another $250 million to get it, and it has been in theaters in various major markets in the world for half a month, and the peak period of box office growth has passed, and now it can only rely on time to grind slowly!

At least theaters in North America have decided to let the movie be shown until January next year or even longer, and theaters in China have also received notices to postpone the screening, and the key has been handed out at the same time.

The only market that has not been released is Japan, but no one can say for sure what Japanese audiences are interested in, they like anime movies, and the box office charts have almost become Miyazaki's personal stage, "Spirited Away" topped the list, with a score of 30.4 billion yen, beating "Titanic" with 26.2 billion yen!

And science fiction films seem to be a little unaccustomed here, and many of them are indeed on the box office list, but more of them have become duds, and it is basically impossible to predict the box office of "The Matrix".

"Don't be pressured, now I'm playing extraordinary, and every day that passes is a record. Wang Bin comforted and said that "The Matrix" is not the highest box office in the mainland, and it is not even the top three for the time being.

However, it has won the first place at the box office in the rest of the world, and it has become the new king of the world box office record of Chinese films, and now no one knows where the end of the road to the king is.

Lin Han also knows that he has overfulfilled his task, and the current "Matrix" he is filming is much more at the box office than the original version of the Wachowski brothers, although it is partly due to inflation, but no matter how inflated, it will win!

The first film can get close to $1 billion, and according to the box office law of the series, as long as the quality of the second film is above the passing line, the box office will definitely be higher than the first!

In other words, after the "Matrix" trilogy, the total box office may exceed $3 billion, and their total investment is even less than $100 million!

This input-output ratio is estimated to be the envy of Hollywood's big capital!
