"This point cannot be answered by the system, it is all up to the host, you can experience it yourself, goodbye host, lord." The system threw down this sentence, and as soon as the ancient brain stuffed all the information of the movie into Zhou Shaoming's mind, it disappeared.

After the familiar sting, those classic and tear-jerking pictures appeared in his mind, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but sink his heart, quietly listened to the voices that touched his heart, watched the pictures that remembered the annals of history, and made his heart surging with longing to be in charge of the camera again.

In 2006, the first week box office of "When Happiness Knocks", which cost only $55 million, was only 26.54 million, but since then, it has become more and more courageous, and finally captured $164 million in the gap between big-budget films such as "Night at the Museum", proving that Will Smith is worthy of being the first black star in Hollywood. Will Smith's biopic surprisingly entered the top 10 of the North American box office in 2006, and in the overseas market, this film also has a kingly style, with a total box office of 307 million, ranking 13th in the global box office list that year.

Low cost, high returns, good reputation and almost won the honor of the Oscar, this is a perfect movie!

Such an incomparable, with Zhou Shaoming's critical eye, there is nowhere to find thorns, and there is no leakage, does its actor still need to be said? Haha, Will Smith, my Royal Highness the Black Prince, finally have a chance to cooperate with you!

“BOSS，BOSS？ What happened to you? Jon looked at Zhou Shaoming strangely, he originally had a stomach full of words to say to himself, but after seeing this newspaper, his face changed greatly, he just lowered his head and looked at it, and waited for a long time without reacting, sometimes with a serious expression and sometimes ecstatic, and couldn't help but hurriedly ask.

"Oh. Ha ha. I don't have anything. I just wanted to talk to you about our strategy for this year, which is going to be a big year for our Supernova Films, and I have a lot of ideas to discuss with you. Zhou Shaoming retracted his thoughts and put his movie aside for the time being.

"Oh boss. What are you going to do? Jon couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a notebook, and looked like he was listening to Zhou Shaoming's side.

"Acquired Ciro's VFX company. We're on the top spot in the U.S. and even in the market, but that's nowhere near where I need to be. We have to expand this year, and I promised Ciro that $100 million a year in VFX must be in place, and I hope that within this year, we can become the second VFX company after ILM! When Zhou Shaoming talked about work, his expression became extremely serious, frowning and talking eloquently, revealing the thoughts in his heart.

“OK。 I knew that I would accelerate the pace of acquiring small VFX companies with potential. In addition, we will pay a high price to poach people from industrial light and magic and other large companies to supplement our special effects department. Jon recorded Zhou Shaoming's words and quickly gave two solutions.

"It's up to you to do this, I'm all up to you, be careful not to conflict with ILM, we also need to maintain our image and vigorously train our own VFX artists, this is the real king." Zhou Shaoming nodded and corrected a little.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll pay attention." Jon said with confidence that Supernova Pictures was just established last year, and it has a good reputation in the industry, which makes many talents in the film industry dispel the idea of hesitating and waiting to see the aftereffects, and begin to accept Jon's invitation to enter Supernova Pictures.

"Secondly, unlike Lionsgate, Frank is a childish because they don't have the strategic vision we have, and that's not wrong from their point of view, but it's not for us at all! We need to adhere to the strategy of big investment, big output, and only making high-quality products, and break free from countless movies. The original studio's strategy of casting a wide net at a low cost and waiting for a blockbuster like SAW's film was not for us. We're going to play to our strengths and throw our limited money into movies that make us a lot of money. What I want is to spend 100 million to make a movie and recoup 3 to 400 million global box office, not to spend 100 million to buy 100 movies and expect a dark horse with box office results of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars to emerge. Zhou Shaoming straightened out his thoughts and said slowly.

"However, this requires an extremely accurate vision, in case we fail once, then the whole company will face the catastrophe of breaking the capital chain!" Although Jon was bold, he was still taken aback by Zhou Shaoming's words, now there is a company in the United States like Zhou Shaoming, daring to invest and operate so wildly, this is like guessing the size, even if he guessed correctly countless times before, as long as he guessed wrong once, he would lose all his money, so that Smith Zhou took off his glamorous coat and became a poor bastard again.

"Believe me, you must know that in history, the failure of huge investments in the film industry is far lower than the successful cases, my vision, hehe, rest assured!" Zhou Shaoming said confidently, cocked his feet and took a beautiful puff of his cigar.

This is the advantage of the traverser, the natural golden fingers and golden thighs are enough to make anyone who dares to think and dare to work hard succeed!

Even if you don't know how to direct, you know which movies will sell well in the future, not to mention Zhou Shaoming, who still has a director system in his head!

"Well, listen to you, boss!" Jon is also determined, the father of chainsaws, and the director of the phenomenon level really never misses it, maybe Lady Luck always favors him!

Writing down his words word for word, Zhou Shaoming continued: "If you have time, call Ben to come to me, I have a movie to give to him, this is a movie that will definitely explode at the box office, and he will love it!" ”

"Oh? What movie is it? Jon couldn't sit still when he heard the box office hit, and asked with excitement on his face.

"Haha, keep it secret for the time being, I can only say that this is another movie with amazing visual effects, just to play to the strengths of our company, so that Ciro and they have something to do, hehe!" Zhou Shaoming sold it and said with a smile.

"Well, you're always like this, playing suspense with us?" Jon touched his nose.

"You'll soon know, in addition, we can't just focus on the big screen, the TV platform is also a big cake, we are going to enter the TV market this year, and bring a gluttonous feast to TV fans across the United States!" Zhou Shaoming paused, this time he didn't sell it, and then said: "The success of Resident Evil allows us to see the power of zombie movie lovers in the United States, I plan to find a well-known director to bring you an extremely impactful zombie TV series "The Walking Dead", in terms of director, you help me find and contact it, I decided to invest 30 million US dollars in this show to shoot the first season, and you have to help me with all the preliminary things." ”

"The Walking Dead", the first authentic zombie TV series with a record-breaking ratings after 2010, according to the newly released October TV ratings statistics in the United States, the third season of "The Walking Dead" ranked first in the ratings of non-sports programs with an average of 10 million people and a rating of 5.7 in the first two episodes, defeating all competitors of public networks and cable networks, and becoming the NO. 1。

PS: The third season premiere episode of "The Walking Dead" reached 7.3 million viewers in the 18-49 age group, which is more than any other sports program on all television networks in the United States, leaving behind public network programs such as the high-rated series "Modern Family," "The Big Bang Theory" and the red-and-purple reality show "The Voice of America." It is worth mentioning that this is still a "good result" created under the premise that the DISH TV network did not broadcast the AMC TV network, and due to pressure from many sides, DISH has negotiated the resumption of cooperation with AMC a few days ago, and it is only a matter of time before the audience of "The Walking Dead" climbs wildly on Halloween.

Of course, compared with the highest-rated TV series in history, "The Walking Dead" is still far behind, but for Zhou Shaoming, the fierce and bloodthirsty zombies are obviously more in line with the appetite of the father of chainsaws, and it is also to make up for the regret that he waited for the ending on the Internet a few days ago.

At present, all the conditions are ripe, Zhou Shaoming naturally chose to bring this TV series to this world in advance for the growth of Supernova Pictures, and the original comic book was only released in 2003, which shows that Zhou Shaoming has saved a lot of copyright fees.

Of course, there is still a TV series that has been praised on the altar in the hearts of Chinese audiences, that is, "Prison Break", but in fact, the ratings of "Prison Break" are not ideal in the United States, and the ratings of the best episode of the first season with the best reputation are only sixth, and then it plummets all the way, ranking 20th on average.

After all, if you have a pair of discerning eyes, you naturally want to give full play to your strengths.

"Zombie movies on the small screen? That's a good idea, and I support yours! Jon lowered his head and thought about it for a while, feeling that this "The Walking Dead" makes people have a great desire to watch it just from the name, coupled with the reputation of the father of chainsaws, the success of "Resident Evil" in the early stage makes people not doubt it at all, this is definitely an idea that is enough to make a lot of money!

"Very good, in the end, the most important point, and the fundamental factor for our future development strategy to be implemented, you have to get in touch with the two companies as soon as possible, or buy shares, or acquisition, or buy out the rights to shoot films, to see if you can make the biggest share of the film industry in the future!" Zhou Shaoming relaxed his mood, relaxed his body even more, leaned on the sofa, and said to Jon. (To be continued.) )
