Chapter 396: Moonlight
"Director Chen, this movie is so good, are you going to make a sequel?"
Just as Chen Feng, Xu Dongyang and Liu Tianhua were chatting together, Xu Cheng walked over with a smile, and when he saw that Chen Feng was also here, he said to him very nervously, and began to look at Chen Feng expectantly as he spoke.
"Hehe, Lao Xu, I really don't have a script!" Seeing that several people were looking at him like wolves, Chen Feng spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Lao Xu, I still think about the sequel, the reason why this film is successful is also the creativity here, we can't do everything we can!" Chen Feng explained with a smile that you must know that the "Baby Plan" in the previous life can only be regarded as excellent, but it is far from enough to make a sequel.
However, in this life, this "Gangster Project" has not only changed most of the content, but also added many classic ideas, you must know that the movie industry has a saying that "a good idea can save the box office", so it is not strange that this film can have such a powerful box office!
"Forget it." Although Xu Cheng was a little disappointed, but if he thought about it carefully, Chen Feng's words were indeed good, but he couldn't get by.
When the whirlwind of "Gangster Project" made many fans happy, Xu Dongyang was also quite happy, this lucrative film made Xu Dongyang sweep away the embarrassing decline of the box office in the past two years, it can be said that this is a very powerful movie for Xu Dongyang's movies in recent years.
Now the box office of "Gangster Project" in Hangzhou and Hong Kong has reached more than 10 million in a week, and because it can be released simultaneously in the mainland, this relieves the pressure from piracy. Therefore, the box office of a week also reached more than 40 million yuan, and the box office in TW also had more than 20 million yuan, and the success of winning the runner-up in the European Union and the United States also increased the confidence of Chinese filmmakers!
For being able to be released simultaneously in the mainland, TW, Hangzhou and Hong Kong, the European Union, the United States, island countries, stick countries, and Southeast Asia, Chen Feng has made great contributions. If it weren't for Chen Feng's connections, this film would never have been released simultaneously around the world, but despite this. "Gangster Project", which was released in DreamWorks, was also the distribution company of DreamWorks, and although it also made money, it was relative to others. After Huayu sold at the DreamWorks box office, the commission he got was relatively small, but there is no way, this situation cannot be changed overnight, this requires the success of more Chinese films to stimulate DreamWorks, and only then can DreamWorks pay more attention to Chinese movies!
Now that the global box office of "Gangster Project" has reached about 50 million US dollars a week, it is only natural that this film will exceed 100 million, and because DreamWorks blockbusters are not too strong now, it is normal for this "Gangster Project" to top the box office, of course, compared with a super blockbuster like "Magic 4", which broke the record of more than 30 million US dollars in one day. "Gangster Project" still has this big gap.
In the Asian box office, "Gangster Project" is now a standout, whether it is Hollywood blockbusters such as "Demon 4" and "Elf Mouse Brother", or "Unparalleled in the World", a big-name movie, it can't hide the edge of "Gangster Project"!

"Hey, Ah Feng, why did you choose to use apples as the cover for this book?" Zhao Tianfeng waved a book called "Moonlight" in his hand and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Don't you notice that at the beginning of the book there is a quote from the Bible's book of Genesis, chapter 2, verse 17: 'But you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day you eat of it you will surely die.'" It actually represents how Bella distinguishes between good and evil. Choosing whether or not to eat the forbidden fruit is a metaphor for choosing to stay with Edward or stay away from him. The apple on the cover represents the 'forbidden fruit of the tree of good and evil in the Book of Genesis.' Symbolizes the forbidden love affair between Bella and Edward, between humans and vampires. Chen Feng explained. …,
"I know that Adam ate the forbidden fruit and was expelled from the Garden of Eden by God!" Usually when Zhao Tianfeng and Chen Feng had a literary discussion, Wu Cheng basically couldn't sing, and this speech gave him a sense of accomplishment.
It's a pity that his words were automatically "filtered" by Chen Feng and Zhao Tianfeng, "I heard that Huayu is going to make a movie, and recently the media has been speculating about when the movie version of "Moonlight" will be released, and I am also curious about this question!"
Although Chen Feng has basically stayed in school this year, and Huayu's things are rarely asked, this does not mean that Huayu's has come to a standstill, Li Haitao can be elected by Chen Feng as the president of Huayu naturally has his vision and vision, "Moonlight" is one of Li Haitao's main achievements this year.
"Moonlight" is a work by the American female writer Stephanie. One of Mel's works is about the romantic love story of Bella, a middle school student, and Edward, a handsome young vampire. In the United States alone, the sales of the Moonlight series of novels have exceeded 50 million copies, and the global sales have exceeded 85 million copies, becoming the world's top bestsellers.
And Li Haitao saw the potential of moonlight, so he bought the adaptation rights of moonlight at any cost. However, compared with the original high-profile purchase, Huayu has been silent a lot in the past six months, and the filming of "Moonlight" has been slow to move, although Huayu announced the filming plan of the film after getting the exclusive film copyright of "Moonlight", but then it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no follow-up.
It's not that Huayu wants to deliberately play low-key, they also want to launch a movie version with the trend, but the director has not been determined for a long time. For such a heavyweight adaptation of "Moonlight", Huayu naturally wanted to invite a heavyweight director to provoke the beam, and top DreamWorks directors, including Stephen, have received letters of intent.
On this issue, Huayu Company made a serious mistake, they only saw that it was a novel that sold no less than "The Magician", and there were successful cases of the movie adaptation of "The Magician" in the past, and almost everyone decided that the box office was not a problem at all. Tempted by the high box office, they all ignored a very important issue. The success of the original novel is not only a guarantee for the box office of the movie, but also a bottle that restricts the director's performance and restricts the display of his talent.
There is an unbreakable law in DreamWorks, the more you invest in a film, the less you can show the director's style, but fortunately, it is still a big hit at the box office. Generally, the most common combination of the successful model of DreamWorks commercial blockbusters is: "first-class director + second-rate actor + third-rate script" or "first-class actor + second-rate director + third-rate script", screenwriters have not been taken seriously for a long time, and the plot of DreamWorks commercial blockbusters has always been criticized.
