(It's hailing here, it's really scary.) When I got home from work, it rained for two hours, and the power went out for two hours... ）

A high box office of 80 million wow!

This is not a little money or anything, it can be said that in addition to the 5 million that my father paid out of his own pocket, the rest of the income is my father's alone.

In other words, although this movie invested 17 million, in fact, Dad, as a producer, only spent 5 million.

The other 12 million are purely sponsors brought in by Dad's studio, and they do not participate in the box office sharing. In other words, 30% of the 80 million box office belongs to my father.

Do the math, how many?

24 million yes!

In addition to the 5 million invested by my father, he also made a net profit of 19 million. Of course, this also includes my father's director fee, and the appearance fee of Zhou Nianwang and my sister.

It's just that everyone is a family, so there is no need to be so clear.

"Shoot, you have to make a sequel, this is simply a money grab!" Dad rubbed the backs of his hands excitedly and happily walked back and forth in the living room.

Zhou Nianwang didn't want to make a sequel, but looking at his father's current happiness, if he put forward his own point of view at this time, it would be strange that his father would agree!

"You can shoot it, but this time, Dad, you don't have too many illusions." Thinking about it, King Zhou Nian couldn't help but splash a basin of cold water.

"Why? With such a good momentum, shouldn't we take advantage of the victory? Dad asked, puzzled.

Zhou Nianwang shook his head and analyzed for his father: "Dad, look, the reason why our movie can make so much money is related to the sponsors you pull and the money you invest. The sponsor you pulled this time didn't participate in the box office dividends at all, so you must have shared more money, right? ”

Without waiting for his father to say something, Zhou Nianwang continued to analyze: "The stars who star basically want some friendship prices. You made so much money in this movie, are you embarrassed to give people a friendly price in the next movie? ”

Dad was speechless.

There is no need for Zhou Nianwang to say more, just take the three top stars as an example, no one has a lower salary than 8 million for their appearances. Among them, not counting Ah Le's 10 million appearance fee. If all of them are given at market prices, the salary of the three of them alone will go to 26 million.

If there is a sequel, at least 5 million will be smashed into the special effects, right?

Other filming locations and machine rentals, as well as group performances and other expenses, add up to 2 million, right?

If you calculate this, how much does it take?

and your later publicity expenses, which is another big head, it is impossible to hold a fluke mentality, hoping that someone will come to such a play again, right?

Even if the publicity is thrown into 10 million, the total cost will almost exceed 40 million. Not counting his personal salary, as well as the cost of Zhou Nianwang's appearance.

If all of them are calculated, I am afraid that the investment of 50 million will be used up.

Think about it, how much box office does it take to return to the cost of an investment of 50 million?

A full 150 million.

The box office result of your first part is only 80 million, do you still want your second sequel to be able to harvest 150 million box office results?

King Zhou Nianwang felt that it was enough.

Where have you heard that there are sequels that make movies that are better than the first one?

Even if there were, I'm afraid it's only a few!

Therefore, Zhou Nianwang does not agree with the re-making of the sequel.

"Then we can't do nothing, right?" Dad asked a little aggrieved.

I just won a big battle, and now is the time when morale is like a rainbow, how can it be that it has settled down?

Zhou Nianwang pondered for a while and said, "Dad, I know an author on the Internet, and he wrote a short story that I think is quite interesting. Or... I'm going to talk to him? ”

"Authors on the Internet? What's the name? Dad asked, frowning.

In my father's impression, writers on the Internet are all involved. It's okay to deceive a child of your own age, but if you want to deceive yourself, I'm afraid there are still a few fires left.

"The Zhou family is small." King Zhou Nian didn't think about it, and blurted out.

"The Zhou family is small? Seem... I think I've heard it somewhere. Dad fell into deep thought, trying to remember the man.

Zhou Nianwang shook his head helplessly and reminded: "New Oolong Courtyard." ”

"Oh... Oh... I remember. The movie you persuaded Brother Tianlong to invest in was the script written by the Zhou family, right? Dad suddenly realized.

He also looks like he has a good memory.

are in their thirties, how can they still have the heart of a child?

King Zhou Nian nodded and asked, "Do you want me to talk to him?" ”

In fact, where is the existence of the Zhou family. All of this is just a virtual character that Zhou Nianwang deliberately pulled out when he wanted to make the movie he wanted to make.

But Dad doesn't know, he doesn't usually use the Internet. Besides, even if he goes online, if he wants to track down the author whose online name is Zhou Xiaoxiaoshao, he is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack on the Internet.

So many people, see how you check.

"Is it reliable?" Dad asked with some concern.

Zhou Nianwang glanced at his father and thought, "I'm not reliable, can I still count on you?" ”

But this is at most just thinking about it in my heart, and I still said: "Reliable." If not, how did you get your first film? ”

Dad thought about it, too, people are professional, and I am not very familiar with screenwriting. Anyway, when the script is taken, whether to shoot it or not, the decision is in his hands.

"Okay, you can get in touch with him first and ask about copyright and stuff like that. By the way, ask him about the price. Don't pay attention to it then, the other party's mouth is wide again. Dad instructed uneasily.

Okay, you name it.

What else could King Zhou Nian say besides nodding?

Let's keep our heads down and write the movie you love!

Zhou Nianwang has his own plans, he is not casual, he came to find a movie to shoot randomly. His first choice now is that the filming location must have his own island, and he must also have one of the leading actors.

Limited to these two hardware conditions, it is generally really difficult to find a movie to shoot. In particular, it is necessary to make both a good movie and a film that will make money at the same time.

Sometimes, a good movie often doesn't mean that it can get a high box office.

Like at the beginning of "Agent Brothers and Sisters", no matter how high the score is, if the box office can't keep up, it will never make money.
