Close the script, put it in the drawer, come to the company today, there are important things to do.

Chen Dong informed the secretary to let Li Rixin come over and lie down.

A few minutes later, Li Rixin knocked on the door and walked in, "Mr. Chen, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Sit, how is the release of "Thai Embarrassment"?" Chen Dong asked Li Rixin.

Li Rixin was ready early, took out a piece of paper from the folder in his hand and handed it to Chen Dong, and said, "Mr. Chen, the total box office of "Thai Embarrassment" is 1.25 billion, and the domestic box office has exceeded 1.2 billion, reaching 1.22 billion, however, overseas, the box office is not very ideal, and only the box office in Thailand is considered to be passing. ”

Chen Dong took the form and looked at it.

It was released in the mainland for 68 days and got a box office of 1.22 billion, as a medium-cost comedy with an investment of only more than 40 million yuan, this achievement is difficult to surpass.

However, overseas, Thailand is not embarrassed, except for Thailand, the box office ranked 6th in the first week, which is considered a passing grade, and thanks to the fact that the movie was filmed in Thailand, after the release of "Thai Embarrassment" in the mainland, it has a very big reputation in Thailand, because this film was filmed in Thailand, and the Thai people feel very proud and spontaneously promote it.

Second, "Thai Embarrassment" contains Thai culture, religion, customs, scenery and other things, which is more in line with the local atmosphere of Thailand.

Other places were upset, the movie was released in Xiangjiang, and it only earned 590,000 yuan in four days of release, and it disappeared from the ranking in the second week, and at the same time faded out of the film schedule of various theaters.

In North America, 29 theaters affiliated to AMC Cinemas were screened, and the box office on the first day was only a dismal $9,000+. About 700 people watched the show, and only $32,200 was earned over the weekend, and even a theater had only 15 people in prime time.

About. Chen Dong had expected this result.

Overseas, it's normal to encounter Waterloo overseas.

It's not that Thailand is not good-looking, not 'embarrassing'.

There's an unspoken rule in Hollywood called 'comedy doesn't move the nest'. It's hard to find it difficult for comedy-themed films to satisfy audiences in multiple markets at the same time, even if American comedy stars don't usually sell well in other countries. The same goes for comedies in other countries.

Chen Dong put down the form and said to Li Rixin, "Everyone has worked hard! Next. The company plans to make 2~3 movies and 1~2 TV series within a year. ”

After speaking, Chen Dong took out the script of "Love is Coming" from the drawer.

Li Rixin took the script and took a cursory look at it. Said to Chen Dong. "It's an urban sitcom, and urban sitcoms are very popular in the United States, like "Friends", "Broken Sisters" and other TV series that have hit the ratings.

However, there are very few such TV series in China, and it is very risky to start filming rashly, not to mention whether the audience can accept it. Moreover, this is the company's first play. In case of failure, the negative impact on the company is significant.

I think it's better to change the theme, for example, the most popular Qing court dramas, urban fashion dramas, and youth dramas, and on the Internet, some popular novels are very suitable for adaptation into TV series. ”

Li Rixin did not agree with the start of filming "Love is Coming", an urban sitcom, and said his thoughts, filming the hottest Qing court dramas, urban fashion dramas, youth dramas, low risk, and can follow the trend to make a profit.

Chen Dong can understand Li Rixin's thoughts.

There are very few TV dramas of this type in the mainland, I am afraid that the audience will not accept it, and this TV series is the company's first drama, if it fails, it will have a great negative impact on the company.

If you choose to shoot the most popular Qing court dramas, youth dramas, bitter dramas and other types of TV dramas, it is a safe idea, these types have a lot of audience groups, the risk is small, and you can also make a fortune by following the trend.

Chen Dong smiled and said, "Don't you think that Qing palace dramas have been flooded?" As soon as the audience turned on the TV, chirp, Gege, Huang Ama, minions,......, and there was no new idea in filming, the same bitterness + abuse, the shooting was rotten, many and rotten, the audience was going to vomit when they saw it, and it was boring to shoot again.

Whether a TV series can attract the audience or not, the key is not what type of TV series, but what is used to attract the audience, for example, bitter dramas, using all kinds of 'abuse' to attract the audience, youth dramas, the selling point is 'youth',......, The selling point of the movie "Love is Coming" is funny, love, romance, love, these things to attract the audience, so, I believe that the broadcast of "Love is Coming" will definitely be popular. ”

After listening to Chen Dongyi's words, Li Rixin was convinced.

"You are the director of "Love is Coming"." Li Rixin said to Chen Dong.

"No, I'm not good at this kind of TV series, I plan to find a director who is good at making this kind of comedy TV series." Chen Dong said.

Li Rixin nodded.

"Love is Coming" has come to an end.

Next, there are two more things.

First, the company's first film.

Second, about the organization of the concert.

Chen Dong took out a novel from a drawer and handed it to Li Rixin.

The dark red cover features a little boy riding a broomstick and wide-rimmed glasses, flanked by the name of the novel and the publishing company, Harry. Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Habery Publishing, in English, of course, and the mainland edition of Harry. Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has not yet been released.

"Harry. Potter and the Philosopher's Stone! Li Rixin took the novel and said in surprise.

"Yes, the company's first film was made here, and the script has been adapted." Chen Dong said.

Harry. The first Philosopher's Stone of Potter has been released all over the world, cultivating countless fans of Harry. The movie version of Potter is certainly well anticipated.

Now is the right time to shoot it.

Original Time and Space, Harry. The Porter film series, produced by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States, is the highest-grossing film series in the history of the world, with a total box office revenue of 7.8 billion US dollars.

Around the theme of Harry. Porter", indirectly formed a collection of publishing, films, derivatives, peripheral products, etc., forming a huge industrial chain. Aspire

Just by relying on the "Harry, Potter" movie version of a series, Starlight Entertainment can make Starlight Entertainment become the world's top film company.

"Boss, Harry. How much Potter intends to invest. Li Rixin asked.

Chen Dong said, "800 million, equivalent to about 130 million US dollars. ”

Chen Dong remembers that the original Warner Bros. Pictures made "Harry. The Potter and the Philosopher's Stone investment is $125 million.

Of course, it is not that the investment budget is 130 million US dollars, but Chen Dong will have to contribute 130 million, and it will also include various sponsorships. The popularity of the physical novel version of "Potter" around the world has attracted a lot of sponsors. (To be continued......)
