Chapter 183: Coming to the Beginning (Eighth Update)
Chen Tiandu, who left the cinema, was silent, driving all the way without asking the destination, the most strange thing for him was that he actually watched the movie "Screaming Laughter" and remembered the plot clearly.
ββ¦β¦ After receiving a threatening letter, the girl involved in the incident, Julie, was also murdered near her home. It attracted many media and police to investigate and report. As a result, others have been trapped in the shadow of fear of being killed. Although, each of them did everything they could to prevent themselves from being killed, such as: the cornice-walking skill of "The Matrix", the yin and yang perspective eye in "The Sixth Sense", etc. Or are they murdered one after another in a bizarre and ridiculous way......"
There is neither a high nor a low tide in the whole film, and there are only some low-quality low-level funny scenes in the whole play, even if there is still a trace of humor, such as the sweary parrot, it has no beginning and no end, and it is indeed a bad movie.
I really don't understand the aesthetics of Americans. But is it time to think about movies?
"Don't you stop talking, do I get this role?" Megan Fox asked.
"Huh~~" Chen Tian was defeated by her, "You think this is a deal?" I've never said anything like this, it's all your own thoughts. There are unspoken rules in showbiz, but not all of them are as bad as you think. β
"What? Damn, it's been more than an hour. Megan suddenly vomited bitterness, "My mouth is numb." Forget it, I'm glad I met you, otherwise I'd be out of luck. When I talked about it to people in the future, I said that I had been to Chen Tiandu. They'll think I'm bragging, haha. β
"You threaten me?" Chen Tiandu parked the car on the side of the road violently.
Megan was stunned, and immediately thought of something smartly, and said: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you are a star, if you don't like it, I won't tell anyone, promise not to say it." Her reaction made Chen Tiandu feel that he was not a human being, so he silently restarted the car and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just a little messed up." That's not my intention. I just wanted to go to the movies. That's all, never thought about anything else. "Others also say that he is funny, this is xiΓ n, and it has nothing to do with humor. It's a mess.
He reacted. It made Meghan's eyes light up. Somewhat incredulous, he tentatively asked, "What about ...... Am I the second girl to you? β
Chen Tiandu frowned again, he couldn't remember how many times he frowned tonight. If you continue to play like this, you won't be able to have forehead wrinkles before you get old. "I don't like it when you use the word 'on.'"
βSorryγβ Megan smiled: "That's true, there are really not many people like you now." I heard that you still have an affair with Charlize Theron and Monica Bellucci, but it turns out that it's not true. β
"When did I have this kind of scandal?"
"Ha, don't you even read the newspaper?" Megan thought it was hilarious.
Chen Tiandu said helplessly: "It's all garbage gossip tabloids, random reports on the Bo page, not true." β
"I already know." Megan laughed, suddenly unbuckled her seat belt, and leaned over to kiss him. Chen Tiandu, who was losing, hid quickly, and a slap was sealed on her mouth.
"......" Meghan looked at him puzzled.
Chen Tiandu swallowed his saliva, and said after a long time: "It's delicious." But he avoided her eyes, maybe only by meeting her eyes would he think she was only 14 years old.
Megan grinned, leaned down instead, and unbuttoned his pants with ease. Chen Tiandu hesitated slightly, finally sighed a long sigh in his heart, didn't stop it, and enjoyed it silently. It's just that today's combat effectiveness is a bit strong, which surprised Chen Tiandu, and he didn't finish it until Megan's rental house.
Chen Tiandu couldn't help it, her skills were really not good, and she parked the car in the roadside park.
Megan stepped on high heels, panting and greeted her, the fragrant wind hit, the soft body threw herself into her arms, and the fiery red lips were about to take the initiative to go up and were still blocked by Chen Tiandu's palm, this enthusiasm that is not easy to remember is really irresistible.
Chen Tiandu carried her out of the car, landed on the carriage lid and gasped lightly, hugged her waist with one hand, and pulled back the hair that fell on her cheek with the other hand, and the tip of her nose smelled all the strong perfume smell on her body, "Are you 14 or 18 years old, give you another chance?" β
Megan was stimulated by this man's fiery breath, and suddenly panicked, opened and closed her sexy lips and hesitated for a long time, blinking her eyes and said, "18 years old!" β
"Okay, you choose it yourself!" Chen Tiandu hugged her waist, and she began to tremble and untie her restraints, those two things that she had taken seriously were just maturing. When Megan screamed, Chen Tiandu stiffened, two tears squeezed out of the corners of Megan's eyes, and she screamed in pain: "It hurts!" β
"Is it really the first time?"
Even though Chen Tiandu had some expectations in his heart, he was still a little embarrassed at this moment.
"Ah, you already knew?" Megan asked in surprise, because of the pain, the frowning brow did not stretch.
Chen Tiandu had dozens of grass and mud horses galloping over in his heart, "14 years old, Nima!" β
But it was impossible to stop, and after a whole night of shaking with a sexy body, this wild and untamable little mare was tamed into a docile little lamb. Looking back on this indulgent night, it can only be described as "sublimation", which is simply too exciting. This is undoubtedly a shock to his idea of a rule, but fortunately he has a good habit, and any obstruction can be temporarily blocked as soon as he enters the work.
Hollywood's July is also a box office blockbuster, following the unexpected box office of "Screaming" over 100 million, and "X-Men" ushered in on July 14. Marvel's heavy artillery was extraordinary as soon as it was released, winning $54.47 million in its opening weekend, which made people exclaim that another big-selling series was born. And on July 21, the great director Robert Zemeckis's "Danger" hit, and only won $29.7 million in the opening weekend, but the word-of-mouth is excellent, and it is expected to be another box office hit.
At this time, Hong Kong's "Infernal Affairs" had already broken through the claws of "Dinosaurs" with a score of 63.5 million Hong Kong dollars and regained the box office record. Nearly two months after its release in the United States, it still won $135 million relying on its tenacious word-of-mouth, and some remote areas are still being released. There are still hundreds of thousands of dollars coming in every day, but they are also on the verge of drawing, and this result will be the final result in North America.
The total box office in Asia has reached 72.58 million US dollars, and the largest contributor in Europe is actually the United Kingdom. Chen Tiandu is a little unbelievable, after all, this is the story of Hong Kong's return to the United Kingdom. Thanks to the sudden rise of the United Kingdom, the box office in Europe has also accumulated 65 million US dollars, plus the release of other countries and regions, the global box office has exceeded 280 million US dollars, and it is officially a large-scale painting.
$280 million. At this exchange rate. With a sky-high box office of nearly 2.4 billion yuan, it is undoubtedly the highest-grossing Chinese film.
After the news was confirmed by the Matrix-Wushuang Film and Television Company, it once again caused enthusiastic reports. The media began to kindly help Chen Tiandu calculate how much he could earn from it.
The box office share of the movie has also been returned. Chen Tiandu has made three films so far. The first two films both grossed $600 million worldwide. There aren't many box office cuts that can be earned directly. On the contrary, this "Infernal Affairs" has an investment of 10 million US dollars, plus 13.5 million US dollars in publicity. After deducting investments and taxes, the final profit was close to $43.5 million.
Of course, there is also the discussion of DVD sales, the release of movie soundtracks, and peripheral profits such as TV rights. Statistically, Matrix, a small-budget film invested by himself, is actually the most profitable.
It's no wonder that some small companies have to fight once they seize the opportunity, and Hollywood also has news from time to time that the reputation of blockbuster movies has plummeted and the production company has gone bankrupt. Everyone knows that investing in blockbusters independently is risky, but the profits are even greater.
-- Taking risks is always the essence of businessmen's pursuit of profit.
After tasting the sweetness of the independent production of "Infernal Affairs", Chen Tiandu asked the employees of the independent production "Fast and Thrilling" to support him more.
The cast was also quickly confirmed, and after the final props were prepared, the whole crew will officially start filming "Fast and Thrilling" in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
He walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and opened it, vaguely feeling that he had overlooked something. happened to walk in front of Niu Yingying's computer and found Xiao Nizi playing a game, "What are you doing?" β
"Ah, boss!" Niu Yingying stuck out her tongue.
Chen Tiandu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Do you like to play games, do you like to play racing games?" β
"Need for a race car? I played it, but unfortunately the car was too bad, so I stopped playing. β
Game? That's right, it's the game!
Chen Tiandu's long-standing idea clearly surfaced, game video games are an independent industry, but also a periphery of movies, past, present, and future have these movie adaptation games, although both sides are applauding almost no blockbusters, but he thinks that digital technology is developing so fast, naturally not only the picture of the movie is improving, but the picture of the game will become more and more powerful.
As the two have more and more in common, and when the gaming industry finds a way to adapt the movie, their relationship will become intimate. For example, the future "World of Warcraft", "Assassin's Creed", etc., are all successful game adaptations.
If the movie is successful, the sales of game discs will also increase...... Maybe video games will become an important peripheral. Moreover, from a business point of view, film companies should not let go of any peripherals, because making more and less is making money, and this is also a way of publicity.
"Hehe, it seems that another perimeter has been developed!"
"Boss, don't you object to me playing the game?"
"It's okay, let's play."
Chen Tiandu left with a smile, he found everyone and asked about the movie and surrounding games. "The Matrix" has already started to be animated by DreamWorks Animation, but the game has not yet landed.
The current situation is that most film companies don't pay attention to this periphery, and the current cooperation between the two is basically that the film company directly transfers the copyright to the game company, but the big companies don't look down on it; So they often find a small company to work with, or set up their own studio, so neither the game system nor the storyline is any fun. Of course, they don't care, they earn a dollar.
In fact, how much economic benefit is wasted.
Before Chen Tiandu started filming, he made the final deployment, using movies to drive game peripherals and game peripherals to feed back movies.
"Everyone has played or heard of Need for Speed, right?"
Need for Speed is a well-known racing game from Electronic Games, Inc., which tries to find a balance between exhilarating racing and realistic vehicles. Since 1995, this game has produced several generations of works and has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of fans around the world. β
"I have an idea about the promotion of the film. A game company needed to be found to co-develop a racing game called "Fast and Furious", similar to Need for Speed. It doesn't have to be as professional as Need for Speed, but also to collect the number of cars in Europe, Japan and the United States, and we can start with playability. Here are some ideas, racing, cops, cars, street racing, illegal drag racing, etc., I hope you can use them. β
The first part of "Need for Speed" has begun to include first-class sports cars in Europe, America and Japan at that time. Because the system is too compliant, and the number of cars in Road&Track magazine is very professional, the speed difference between different models is very obvious, and the worse models are basically not competitive in the game, so the game balance is relatively bad for this game.
In the PC version, there is also a close-up of the gear lever action when the car shifts gears.
This is a typical American attitude towards developing games, which is completely different from domestic games.
Chen Tiandu has the vision of future games, and he also has a lot of classic mobile games in his mobile phone.
"Fast & Thrill" follows the development route of the series, which is similar to the "Need for Speed" game, and the two may have references.
Naturally, Peck and Kong Yiji are in charge of liaising with the producer, and Peck is still thinking about the movie, "It seems that the game should be the first to be released before the movie is released." If you can promote the movie, it doesn't matter if it's rough, right? β
Kong Yiji thought slightly and objected: "I think it's still very profitable to put this game back in Asia." The production can be a little more sophisticated, even if you will spend a little more money in the early stage, you can keep the game popular for a longer time. After all, we're making a series of movies. β
Chen Tiandu nodded, "I agree with what Lao Kong said, Peck, this is not a one-shot deal. I wouldn't even mind buying a game company to run it myself if it was needed, and I hope you will take it seriously. (To be continued......)
