Chapter 544: Dinosaur Invasion Super Bowl
Where money is made, there is money pouring in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The film industry has always been a gathering place for capital, and many local tyrants who have made money and have nowhere to spend it have been fooled by film and television companies, and a lot of them have become good money boys, and various film and TV series projects have begun to be approved.
This is the best era of Chinese films, and it is also the worst era of Chinese films!
In the past year, more than 20 of the most disappointing films of the year have been shortlisted, but the top ten Chinese films of the year have not even made up ten places, and barely eight works have been selected.
Bad movies are in charge, and they are known as the death of domestic films!
Although some actors have been criticized for their bad acting skills for a long time, and some directors have not been able to be online for a long time, they always make countless bad movies every year, which is the saddest thing.
Now the film and television companies have seen that the "The Martian" of the Chinese New Year file has won more than one billion yuan at the box office across the country, and the "Immortality" of the Spring Festival file has made thousands of times more, with an investment of 100,000 yuan and a box office of 500 million yuan, and it has also been released in Europe and the United States, becoming a model of small fighting!
It's not that domestic sci-fi films can't make money!
In such a situation, film and television companies began to hoard corresponding science fiction IP, from science fiction novels that are biased towards physical publishing to online science fiction novels, everything that is a little famous has been collected.
Li Wenyuan can be regarded as a science fiction god other than Lin Han, and he has had the experience of film adaptation, so it is normal to be favored by film and television companies!
He specially came to ask Lin Han to let a professional in the entertainment industry like Chen Jiaxuan choose a reliable film production company, so as not to spoil these two movies.
Lin Han held his chin and thought seriously for a moment and said, "What do you think of Chang'e Pictures?"
"Chang'e Pictures, it's your company for "The Martian", I think it's very good, the point is whether people need a novel like mine. ”
For Li Wenyuan, Chang'e Pictures is obviously a very good choice, it has abundant funds, and has a good reputation, rarely makes bad movies, and the most important thing is that this film and television production company has successful experience in making science fiction films!
"As you know, I rarely sell film adaptations of my novels these days, either by myself or by co-investing. Chang'e Pictures also lacks high-quality movie scripts, I don't dare to pack tickets or anything, anyway, I will seriously recommend your novel to Mr. Li. ”
Now that Li Li has become the first person to eat crabs, she will definitely not want her lead to disappear, and now Lin Han's novel copyright is very difficult, she can only choose Li Wenyuan or the rest!
Li Wenyuan also understood what Lin Han meant, he nodded and said, "Then let's decide, when I will go to your company to sign a formal brokerage contract, so that your negotiation will be much more justified." ”
"Then it's decided so happily, I'll call over there later, let them draft a contract, and how about the same treatment as me?" Lin Han didn't want to take advantage of his friend, how much his commission was to give Li Wenyuan.
Li Wenyuan has no opinion on the 10% commission, the 10% commission can be exchanged for a 50% or even 100% increase in income, which is obviously very cost-effective!
He didn't have much ability to bargain in business negotiations, and the previous book "Out of the Solar System" was almost an offer from the other party, and then he himself symbolically asked for a higher price, and signed the contract without being promised.
If there is an agent to help him, at least the film adaptation rights of the first book will be sold for two or three million yuan more!
After settling the matter, Lin Han and Li Wenyuan began to talk about the rest of the things, it is not easy to find a friend these days, and the friendship between the two of them can last so long.
……
It's the end of February in a blink of an eye, and this week, the domestic film box office market and the book market are not shocked, but it has ushered in extraordinary changes in North America.
Because the annual American Football Super Bowl Grand Prix "Super Bowl" will officially start this week, the North American film market has ushered in a cold winter, only a few low-budget thrillers have been released, and the rest of the movies are hiding from the Super Bowl!
Known as the "Super Bowl" of the American Spring Festival Gala, the annual championship game of the National Football League, the event is the largest television event in the United States every year, and is an unofficial national holiday.
Because the ratings of the Super Bowl have been high, its TV commercials have become the most sought-after darlings every year, and this year's advertising price has risen to $4.5 million in 30 seconds!
This Super Cup Sunday, the Falcons, the strongest offensive team this season, and the Patriots, the strongest defensive team, were considered by the majority of media and fans to be the strongest contradictory dispute, and the excitement has exploded in advance.
In addition to the NFL's annual championship game, it was also a gorgeous party. In addition to the superstar's halftime performances, Hollywood's major companies have spared no effort to promote and shout, which has also increased the heat, and the blockbusters released this year will all release the first trailer or special trailer at the Super Bowl without exception!
From the hail of drag racing to the unpredictable Caribbean Sea to the vast abyss of the universe, film production companies without considerable financial resources simply can't squeeze in!
The reason why there are so many things to do with Lin Han is "Jurassic Park", this movie adapted from the novel is produced by Paramount, and the film that cost $150 million to build will be released this summer, so this is its first promotion.
Previously, "Jurassic Park" was very mysterious, except for the poster that exposed the classic black dinosaur fossil silhouette, the rest of the details about the film were very secret, and not even a single video appeared!
This is its first trailer, so it's a lot of importance.
Not only are Hollywood concerned about the specific effects of this sci-fi blockbuster, but even the Chinese media and netizens are curious, they want to know what the movie has adapted the novel into!
Before the Super Bowl began, Paramount's Facebook account released a new poster, this poster has a very unique perspective, as if taken from the throat of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, you can see the open mouth of this Tyrannosaurus Rex, the hideous teeth look particularly terrifying, the powerful jaw and the bloodshot between the white teeth show that the owner of this mouth is not good.
The novel of this movie was written by Lin Han, and the script was also written by him himself, which is used to stay away from Hollywood's cookie-cutter monster movies, and he uses dinosaurs as characters, rather than fighting monsters against humans!
Because the novel is relatively long and has a lot of various contents in it, and the movie is only 120 minutes long, which can't accommodate too much content, Lin Han only adapted 10%-20% of the content of the novel when writing the script, and the rest of the content was left for the sequel to "Jurassic Park" to be filmed in the future.
In Lin Han's original world, this film released in 1993 grossed more than $900 million worldwide, breaking countless records to become the most successful commercial film at the time, and the use of computer special effects made it a milestone in the history of cinema, influencing countless subsequent works and becoming a common memory for generations!
After the success of "Jurassic Park", the second "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" was also a big hit, but "Jurassic Park 3" suffered Waterloo, and it was not until "Jurassic World" that it turned around again.
Lin Han feels that the fiasco of "Jurassic Park 3" is largely because of the plot, the first two movies are adapted from the original novel, and the plot has a certain guarantee.
Although there are really dinosaur movies in this world until now, Lin Han is not sure if this group of Jurassic period overlords can dominate the box office of the movie, he only wants to do it, that is, to make "Jurassic Park" a series of movies that take both word of mouth and box office into a series, and shoot it slowly little by little!
Now computer technology has been very developed, and the props team is also Hollywood's top masters, in order to be able to truly present the behemoth of ancient times in the film, Paramount not only spent a lot of money to invite electronic special effects masters, and even found paleontology experts to design dinosaurs to ensure that dinosaurs are animals, not monsters.
Obviously, the copyright was sold at about the same time as "The Martian", and now that "The Martian" has been in theaters for several months, "Jurassic Park" is belatedly preparing to announce the trailer!
It took so long for post-production that Paramount even spared no expense to advertise the Super Bowl in order to be a blockbuster.
Before the movie trailer has come out, Paramount has signed agreements with more than 100 companies to manufacture and sell 1,000 products, creating this IP in an all-round way.
In Paramount's email to Lin Han, it was mentioned that some of the T-shirts, dinosaurs, and props in the film were even designed to be sold as peripheral products in the future.
Maybe the profit generated by the box office of the movie is not as much as the profit of peripheral goods, as long as it is any income generated by "Jurassic Park", Lin Han can occupy 3% of it, which will bring him a steady stream of income!
……
The Super Bowl was bustling with activity, and the thrilling charm could be felt just from the camera, and the fans at the scene were almost in a frenzy.
The first quarter looked uneventful, with the Falcons attacking first, but failing to break down the Patriots' defense. The Patriots' counterattack was also very weak, and the two sides exchanged scores, ending 0-0.
However, in the second quarter, the Falcons continued to launch an offensive and burst into a burst of state, easily raising the score to 21-0, and the Patriots struggled to pull back 3 points, but the disparity of 21-3 at halftime came to an end.
However, during the intermission advertising period, the ratings of the Super Bowl instantly soared from 110 million American viewers to 160 million, directly more than about 50 million, and the ratings even exceeded the live TV debate of the presidential election!
There are not even many people who watch the halftime show and halftime commercials, which is impossible in any one place, but it is commonplace in the Super Bowl.
Every year, almost all of the most classic ones that people recognize appear in the Super Bowl, which is extremely creative, attractive, close to life, novel and interesting are the main characteristics of the Super Bowl. Because of the high price, each will only be broadcast once, and the time is very short, most of them will not exceed 40 seconds. In these 40 seconds, companies will do everything they can to attract audiences, so the Super Bowl will be a classic!
……
Jesse Rodney is a high school student who is watching the Super Bowl with his father, Lambert Rodney, a family of die-hard Patriots fans.
"What's going on, how Brady's long pass always goes wrong!"
'It's hopeless to go down so much at half-time. God, give these guys a little scrappy, they're like eggless on the field!"
The father and son are wearing the same Patriot uniform, their hearts are already full of despair, is there still hope?
At this time, advertisements for Pepsi, Budweiser and Hyundai began to play during the intermission, and Jesse was about to get up to go to the bathroom, but a terrifying roar stopped him!
The roar resounded through the sky, causing the crazy fans at the Super Bowl and the audience in front of the TV to stop what they were doing and turn their heads to find the source of the sound.
With continuous roars, a Tyrannosaurus rex appeared on the big screen around the Super Bowl, as if the overlord who came out of the Jurassic era roared in the sky, with fierce eyes and a hideous and terrifying appearance that made the audience invariably shed cold sweat!
It's very realistic, much more vivid than the skeleton fossils in the museum, and the sense of realism is so strong that you can't even find the feeling of using computer special effects, because this is the transformation of the original fossil restoration image by the props team and the art designer.
The eyelids are more raised, the mouth is larger, and the mouth is more raised, making it look more ferocious and vicious, and you can even see the folds on the skin of the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the clear big screen, which are extremely fine, almost like a living thing!
Hear its voice first, and then see its shape, the stunning appearance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex shocked more than 100 million viewers, which doesn't look like a fake at all, just like in life!
In fact, the preemptive effect of Jurassic Park was so useful that people were so impressed with the dinosaur that they even began to break out in a cold sweat on their backs.
After the appearance of the Tyrannosaurus rex, the trailer officially appeared, a piece of exquisite amber was sealed with ancient mosquitoes, and the picture turned to the appearance of the little dinosaur breaking out of its shell.
The island looks vibrant under the sun, a long-necked brontosaurus leisurely eats the delicate leaves on the top of the tree, hundreds of chicken dragons gallop across the grassland, velociraptor hunts lightly, triceratops howls softly, and a new world appears in the eyes of the audience!
But the leisurely life didn't seem to last long, the rainy night dragon howled, a bloody killing began, the collective dispatch, the elusive velociraptor brutally bit off the head of the tourists, and the panicked figures of the tourists who drove to avoid looked extremely embarrassed.
While the audience opened their mouths one by one, the adrenaline was stimulated by the intense and tense music, but the trailer came to an abrupt end, leaving only the closed gates of Jurassic Park and the eye-catching words "Jurassic-Park" on the gates!
