Chapter 349: A New Script
The profit of 3.6 billion Chinese dollars gave Chen Feng confidence in the next big film plan.
After most of the profits of "Dusk" arrived, Huayu Entertainment Company had a huge liquidity of tens of billions, and Huayu Entertainment Company was originally owned by Chen Feng alone...... The money is also his own.
The revenue of "Twilight" is definitely not just the box office, this movie that even detonated a cultural phenomenon, naturally has such a variety of revenue channels.
First of all, there is the dVd copyright, the dVd version of "Dusk" has been produced, Chen Feng has seen it, and it is more exquisite. The dVd disc inside contains several different versions of Dusk. The first one is the original film, the original film of "Dusk" is four hours long. This is followed by the full 2D version of Dusk, as well as the 3D red and blue version of the film, which can be viewed with the more rudimentary red and blue glasses.
The dVd version doesn't have much promise in China...... After all, on various domestic websites, the HD HD version, dVd HD version, and even the red and blue version of "Dusk" have appeared...... The main sales of the dVd version are abroad.
The dVd copyright of "Twilight" is still relatively sought-after, I don't know how many merchants have negotiated with Chen Feng and them, and after some careful selection, they finally finalized the merchants. Because there are more merchants to choose from, Chen Feng and the others knocked on the bamboo pole fiercely this time.
At the end of January, the feedback on the dVd version of "Dusk" finally came back with the news that the film was licensed to the global dVd. In the end, the profit that reached Huayu Entertainment was $300 million, which is quite surprising indeed.
Then there are peripheral products, in fact, Huayu Entertainment Company is also doing a little peripheral product business in China, because it is doing better peripheral products of movies, so the sales are not bad. This time, there are not a lot of peripheral products in "Twilight", including the protagonist's spaceship model, etc., and these peripheral products are also quite popular. In the news that came back at the end of January, Huayu Entertainment Company received more than $7ooo in profits.
There are also some other miscellaneous things, such as domestic TV series adaptation rights. A lot of foreign film remakes have also been sold, in short, "Dusk" finally earned a total of more than 5 billion Chinese dollars in profits for Huayu Entertainment Company.
After the dazzling and brilliant success of "Dusk", Chen Feng's career has also climbed to an unimaginable peak.
And then. There was a piece of news that immediately shocked everyone - "People of the Century" will interview Chen Feng and let him appear on the cover of "People of the Century".
As a result, he became the first Chinese to appear on the cover of "People of the Century" this year. "People of the Century" is a magazine with international influence in the European Union, and only "People of the Year" can match it in the world, but compared with the opening of "People of the Year", "People of the Century" is much more conservative, it has only one version, and it is basically dominated by people from the European Union, and even people in the United States rarely appear on "People of the Century", so the difficulty of appearing on the cover of "People of the Century" can be imagined.
This incident immediately detonated people's emotions. But when you think about it, it does make sense...... After all, Chen Feng, who detonated a 'twilight' phenomenon, does not appear on the cover of "People of the Century", and it is estimated that some people will say that they are too unreasonable.
The interview with "People of the Century" is scheduled for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, so Chen Feng has naturally worked in Huayu these days, but soon Li Haitao walked in with a script in his hand. Li Haitao knew that Chen Feng would be in the company today. But Li Haitao didn't make a special trip to report to Chen Feng this time, he brought Chen Feng a script that required an investment of 80 million Chinese yuan. In normal times, Li Haitao didn't even bother to open the script for such an investment, let alone recommend it to Chen Feng. …,
But this time the situation is somewhat different, and Li Haitao can be very sure. There are things in this film that Chen Feng is interested in. He intended to sell Guanzi, but Chen Feng had no choice but to resist his curiosity and open the script by himself.
The plot of the story is very similar to the South African film "Humorous Gangster", which recently won the award for Best Foreign Language Film in Mesno. The gang leader became half-crazy and half-stupid because of an accident, and imagined that his son's former girlfriend's child was his grandson, so he planned a baby theft plan.
Two stupid thieves facing difficulties in life, in a desperate situation, promised to help the gang organization hijack the newborn babies of two popular stars in Hangzhou and Hong Kong. But the middleman in charge of contacting the criminal organization was detained by the police for a trivial matter, and he did not get the reward for the mission, so the little baby was forced to stay in the home of one of the stupid thieves. Since then, the lives of the two have been turned upside down by this extra little guy, and a lot of ridiculous farce has been staged. The two stupid thieves were gradually awakened to their inner conscience in the process of getting along with the baby, but at this time, the middleman was released, and the gang organization also learned the whereabouts of the baby from him.
Tempted by a large bonus, the two stupid thieves eventually hand over the baby, but they also suffer from the torment of conscience, and finally they decide to snatch the baby back from the criminal gang. After a fierce battle, the two successfully rescued the baby and returned him safely to his parents, and finally the two met at the police station and surrendered.
How do Chen Feng think this story is very familiar, this is clearly a copy of the previous Hong Kong film "Baby Plan", could it be that someone crossed over from the earth like him, otherwise this script that came out of thin air is so similar to the plot of "Baby Plan" in his memory that it can't be explained by the word accident alone. Thinking of this, Chen Feng's mood suddenly became a little bad.
"Who is the author of this script?"
"Xu Dongyang." Li Haitao said with a smile.
It was him, after hearing this name, Chen Feng's original worry suddenly disappeared a lot. Xu Dongyang is a veteran actor in his forties, and he is also well-known in China, but he went to the European Union ten years ago to develop.
After ruling out the possibility of crossing, Chen Feng put his mind at ease and carefully read the script in his hand. Chen Feng found that what he got in his hand was indeed very similar to the script of the Hong Kong film "Baby Plan" in his memory, but it was not exactly in the standard sense, because the actual situation was different from the "Baby Plan" on the earth. The script was completed by Xu Dongyang in collaboration with another Hangzhou-Hong Kong screenwriter, and was originally intended to be made into an EU film, but the EU film companies did not take a look at the script, and in desperation, they were ready to move the film to Hangzhou-Hong Kong to shoot.
Xu Dongyang himself also wants to return to Hangzhou and Hong Kong with this film, after all, he has not mixed well in the EU over the years, but he found that his popularity has not been as dominant as ten years ago after not developing in Hangzhou and Hong Kong for more than ten years, so no film company is willing to take this risk.
