Chapter 188: Organizing a Group Investigation (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
In the martial arts action in the movie, Wang Shang determined that Datang International had indeed invited a lot of professional martial arts directors, and the movements between the characters were quite pleasing to the eye, okay......
In terms of environmental setting, Wang Shang felt that the school was doing a good job, and the atmosphere of the future was very heavy.
"The scene of this school was designed according to the original location and several novel authors and set designers...... "Tang Zongshi said with a smile.
The content of the movie is that the protagonist enters the campus competition in order to earn money to support his family, and then meets various opponents in the competition, which is naturally interspersed with some grievances and hatreds. Finally, a plot of landing on a living planet in a spaceship was deliberately added to explore aliens, but the movie ended in only 1 minute.
With a total of 130 minutes, it belongs to a very long movie.
After Wang Shang finished reading it, he felt that it was too influenced by the novel, and I don't know if the fans and audiences can accept it. But overall it looks okay, at least those future novelty props will make many people like it.
"How?" Tang Zongshi asked.
Wang Shang thought about it for a while and replied: "I feel that the ancient martial arts and the plot are average, but the props are well done, and fans will like it very much; Extraterrestrial exploration is also good, and it will also make them look forward to the next 'Living Planet Exploration'. ”
Tang Zongshi explained: "In terms of ancient martial arts, we didn't spend too much money, and the domestic special effects technology was already able to support it, which was relatively cheap, only spending 30 million." And the part of those props, aliens, and future buildings, although the total time is only ten minutes, is the most spent abroad. What do you think? Is this movie confident? ”
"I'm still confident in it, and according to my guess, there's no problem surpassing the last two films. But if you want to hit the North American film market, it's not good for the style, but I'm not sure about it, you can talk to Hollywood companies to try it......"
"Haha, that's good, if it weren't for the 100 million I invested in "Fast and Furious" this time, most of my investments would have been at a loss this year." Speaking of this, Tang Zongshi was proud, most investors didn't dare to invest money in "Fast and Furious", but he had a unique vision, invested 100 million, and when the cost increased to 500 million, he got a 16% share.
Other investors are afraid of losing money, so they dare not invest, but now, it is estimated that they have regretted their death.
Wang Shang was indifferent: "If this movie can, have you prepared a second movie sequel?" ”
"Yes!"
"Okay, if this movie achieves good results, our Tianwang Studio can consider increasing investment in the second part, instead of only investing 50 million like the first one."
The two chatted about other things, and Wang Shang began to talk about special effects, but unfortunately the special effects of Datang International were not as good as the special effects of Tianwang Studio, so he couldn't give Wang Shang some suggestions at all.
Wang Shang finally said: "Now the progress of the special effects team is not ideal, and I can be regarded as asking for money, and they are also working hard, but why is the progress so slow?" So I wanted to take a team to Hollywood and see how they worked, to see if I could find the cause and find a way to ......."
"Forming a group? I also had this idea some time ago, do you want us to form a group together? Tang Zongshi proposed.
Wang Shang thought about it for a while, and there were no pros and cons, so he agreed: "Okay." In this way, prepare during this time, not only the special effects team, but also the elites of other departments will also organize together. ”
Tang Zongshi gave a thumbs up to express his admiration. "Do you want to call Beihai Film and Television? Last time, Huang Jiaqi and Huang Dong also mentioned this matter. ”
"Huang Jiaqi?" Wang Shang was also familiar with Huang Jiaqi, and felt that he was not a bad person, so he agreed.

January 1, 2001, Zhou said.
Today is the first day of 2006 and the first day of the New Year's Day holiday, and the cinema is back to its hot scene.
Just today, two more highly anticipated movies were released, one of which is "Death is Coming 3" by Tianwang Studio.
Now "The Grim Reaper" has become a well-known series of movies, and has accumulated a certain reputation and fame around the world. This third part is also like the second part, and it will be released globally!
On the day of its release, major movie theaters welcomed a large number of fans to watch "Death 3".
And with "The Grim Reaper 3", there is also a foreign one starring Stephen. Spielberg's movie "War of the Worlds" tells the story of an originally unqualified husband and father who shouldered the responsibilities of a father and fled with his daughter all the way when the aliens invaded.
And Datang International's "Guwu Future" has also successfully put it on the screen today through a series of operations.
Its release also made a bunch of filmmakers exclaim: "How dare it be released at this time?" ”
After experiencing the dismal box office experience of "Xiuzhen Fengyun" and "Fantasy Continent", they no longer have confidence in this movie.
But soon the critics who went to the cinema to see it were shocked: "This movie is so novel!" Although the content is a little bit unsuitable for the film market, other aspects are not bad. ”
Soon they learned that the film Tianwang Studio also participated in the investment, 50 million, and Wang Shang also participated in the creative design.
"No wonder, it turns out that Wang Shang is involved."
They seemed to have expectations for the box office of the film at this time.
――――――――
After the box office data came out the next day, the PG-level thriller "Death is Coming 3" was still the same as the previous two, the box office in China was average, and the box office in the first day was only 60 million. It's not that it's not popular, it's that the market for thrillers is not big.
As for the reviews, I think it's similar to the first and second parts, and after the novelty passes, it's already very good to be able to get the 'almost' comments. In terms of the mtime score, the score is 8.8 points, which is not high......
After Wang Shang saw it, he couldn't help but sigh: "The taste of current fans is really getting more and more bitten. ”
After "War of the Worlds" was widely promoted, this film attracted a lot of audiences, and soon impressed fans with novel aliens, exciting plots and warm father-daughter love.
This film was very successful, and the box office reached 80 million in the first day, although it no longer has the crazy 100 million box office of "Fast and Furious", but it also shocked many filmmakers. The mtime score was given a 9.2 rating.
Most fans of "Guwu Future" are in a wait-and-see state, waiting for its comments to appear.
Soon the review came out: "Taken together, it's a novelty, it's worth watching, and it won't waste the ticket price." ”
The box office revenue in the first day was 50.43 million, and the mtime score was 7.8 points.
These scores are initial and generally decrease over time.
There is no doubt that "War of the Worlds" successfully became the first box office in China at the beginning of 2006, and finally washed away the shame of Hollywood movies being pressed by Chinese movies in 2005.
And "Death is Coming 3" became the first box office runner-up of the new year with its box office of 60.3 million.
"Fast and Furious", which has been released for a week, is still extremely popular at this time, and its movie-watching tide is still extremely hot, winning a shocking 55.04 million in a single day, directly pressing "Guwu Future" below, ranking third!!
The next day's box office began to get confusing.
The highly regarded "Gu Wu Future" finally moved the fans who were watching and successfully attracted them to the cinema, and on this day, the box office of "Gu Wu Future" began to rise against the trend, winning 70.23 million at the box office. The novelty of the world attracted them, and the small fragments of extraterrestrial exploration made them look forward to it.
One day after "War of the Worlds" was released, the box office began to fall to 68.04 million, and it was still the box office champion.
"The Grim Reaper 3" is still tepid, winning 53.07 million.
"Fast and Furious" continued to decline, getting 45.03 million, but it was enough to shock countless filmmakers, after all, it has been in theaters for a week.
So far, in just 10 days, it has earned 520 million yuan in China!!
According to rough statistics, this movie has earned at least 2.5 billion yuan worldwide!!
This data makes many production companies crazy with jealousy!!
Is this a bank robbery? It's faster than robbing a bank!!
There are already many investors who regret not investing in this movie in the first place, otherwise they could have a piece of the cake. envied Tang Zongshi even more, invested 100 million, and got a 16% profit share. At the time, they despised the 16 per cent distribution......
――――――
January 7th.
Just when the Huaxia film market was bustling, Modu TV published a news that surprised the Chinese entertainment industry: "Datang International, Beihai Film and Television, and Tianwang Studio jointly organized a group of 100 people to go to Hollywood. ”
After the news came out, many media reprinted it one after another, and at the same time conducted a 360-degree all-round analysis of the matter.
"This is the first time in China that such a large-scale study and inspection trip."
"Datang International's official statement said that it wants to go to Hollywood to learn various technologies, and it is also possible to reach further cooperation agreements with Hollywood companies."
"The three companies are currently in a kind of honeymoon phase and may have formed an alliance. With large capital and superhuman vision, will it produce a terrifying big film and television group? ”
"An alliance should be unlikely, the conflict of interest is too great unless one side makes concessions......"
"It's really eye-catching that Tianwang Studio can cooperate with two large group companies on an equal footing."
No matter how the media reports and how the entertainment industry speculates, this time the group of 100 has arrived at the airport, waiting for a plane to fly to the United States......
The purpose is to learn, not only to learn Hollywood's skills and skills, but more importantly, to try to find something different from Hollywood and China, something that makes Hollywood successful.
In the VIP hall of the airport, Huang Jiaqi saw Wang Shang and said with a smile: "Wang Dong, last time I didn't help me with my "Fantasy Continent", it's too much of a friend......
Wang Shang hurriedly humbled himself.
