Chapter 354: Superheroes
"Fate, it sounds very mysterious. ++x+" Zhang Qiuxi returned to the magazine and said, Ye Qingqing was not interested at all, and Yang Jie said: "If Director Zheng Yuan's divorce from her husband is the end of fate, then what am I?" ”
"Bad fate?" Zhang Qiuxi blurted out, Yang Jie was stunned for a moment, and said with emotion: "I can really find an explanation no matter what, I just don't know if this so-called bad relationship has ended or just begun." ”
Shangguan Jin was quite interested in this movie, and asked: "This should be Zheng Yuan's big screen debut, what is the specific name, can it only accompany you here?" ”
Zhang Qiu spread his hands and said, "It seems that Zheng Yuan hasn't decided yet, even if he wants to call this name, it's completely okay, right?" A touch of sadness, concisely and concisely points out the theme, what a small and fresh style. ”
Hongdou said: "You are not the director, don't worry about this matter, I want to ask if there is room for us to intervene in this movie?" Now a love movie with a good box office can collect five or six hundred million. ”
When those blockbusters were gradually abandoned by the audience, many of the box office dark horses were romance films, although Hongdou was not interested in this genre, but was very interested in making money. Although she can't judge whether this movie is good or bad, as long as Zhang Qiuxi's name is played, she will not lose money, and it is really unreasonable not to participate in this kind of good thing.
However, Zheng Yuan is a person from Yunxiang Film and Television, and Yunxiang Satellite TV is now also the owner of not bad money, and the story itself also comes from Zheng Yuan's own ideas. If the amount of investment required is huge, it is better to say something. But romance films obviously don't need much investment, and this is not "Titanic".
"Although I didn't think about intervening before, I'm glad to tell you. You got your wish. Zhang Qiuxi said: "The budget for the film is six million, and we each contribute three million. ”
It may be a bit pretentious to say this, but now Zhang Qiuxi really doesn't care about earning a little more or less, the cost of six million can be taken out by anyone without blinking an eye, and there is no need to participate in such a small investment. Zheng Yuan is a person from Yunxiang Film and Television, just let them do it themselves, it doesn't mean that she must be rewarded for helping.
The continued joint investment was proposed by Han Xue and Zheng Yuan together. It's not for the distribution of benefits, it's just for personal favors. Needless to say, their relationship with Yunxiang Satellite TV is no longer mentioned, and their cooperation with Zheng Yuan is also intimate. It can also be said that it gave Zheng Yuan more and better opportunities.
For her first big-screen work, Zheng Yuan hopes that Zhang Qiuxi and them can participate, Han Xue also feels that it feels better to do it together, and Zhang Qiuxi feels that there is no need to participate. But Han Xue and Zheng Yuan both hoped that she would naturally be happy if she did. It was as simple as that.
"I seem to be looking at money, but in fact, I am just thinking about it emotionally, otherwise I can't look down on a small million investment." Hongdou muttered in his mouth, and directly transferred the three million, and the other party's account has been reversed after cooperating for so long.
"That's right, maybe we'll have a bigger investment, and we don't need to talk about any feelings, and we can make as much as we want. It's best to take advantage of it by all means. Looking at Zhang Qiuxi's expression, it seemed that he was going to do a big job.
"What kind of investment and how much can I earn?" Ye Qingqing and the others all gathered around when they heard this. They all have money and nowhere to spend it now, and it is naturally best to have investment, but they also have to weigh it, and they can throw it away casually if they don't have a lot of money.
Zhang Qiuxi said: "DC comics know everything, right? Jonathan contacted me and said that DC Comics was looking for help everywhere, so he recommended me. As for what will happen, we will have to meet and talk about it in detail. ”
Ye Qingqing lost interest when she heard this, and said: "Meiman, don't say that it is a niche in Asia, even in the United States, it is declining." Jonathan recommended you, is it because he wants you to give DC Comics some scripts, what kind of investment is this? ”
Meiman said that the niche was already obedient in the Celestial Empire and even in Asia, but in fact, it can be said that it is completely unpopular, and basically no one watches it. But on the contrary, the movie adaptation of American comics is talked about by the audience and is very popular all over the world.
Zhang Qiuxi said: "Although DC is a comic company, American movies are now the mainstream, so of course it's a movie thing. I have to talk about the specifics, Hongdou, you know the accounts better, come with me. ”
DC Comics was founded in 1934, a few years later than Pengdi's "Old Master", but DC Comics has developed to this day, while Guoman is a twist and turn, and it is still not prosperous. In contrast, the truth is infinitely embarrassing.
Originally, in time and space, compared to DC, Marvel should be more well-known, because Marvel has developed better in recent years, and DC only has a red eye. In fact, these two comic companies have only one theme, that is, superheroes, and it is DC's Superman that makes audiences around the world deeply understand the concept of superheroes.
Superman began serialization in 1938 and appeared on the big screen in the forties, and now how many versions of live-action movies there are only DC himself knows, and Superman is still the most popular superhero. Local tyrants rely on equipment, and slings rely on mutation is the eternal law of superheroes, and Batman is one of them.
Batman was serialized in 39, The Flash was serialized in 40, Green Arrow and Green Lantern were serialized in 41, and Wonder Woman appeared around the same time. During the Second World War, DC's well-known superheroes have all appeared, and they have not been worn out by time and space, and Zhang Qiuxi is fortunate to feel their charm again.
"Did Jonathan say what exactly is the dilemma facing DC Comics, in other words, what can we do?" Hongdou got into Zhang Qiuxi's car directly, and couldn't help but ask if he felt unsteady.
"DC Comics has not developed well in recent years, and even has a financial crisis, and I am very eager to reverse this situation." Zhang Qiuxi got into the car and fastened his seat belt, if it wasn't for DC's predicament, they would not have had the opportunity to intervene.
"Aren't comics very profitable? And it can also be adapted into a movie, why is DC so unbearable? "Red Beans feel even more strange, because they have made a lot of money in anime, and their annual income is still amazing, and I can't understand why DC, which is also a comic company, is so miserable.
"The situation of American comics and Japanese comics is completely different, and we are learning Japanese comics. As for the film adaptation, I'm afraid it's an eternal pain in DC's heart, they are just authorizing, they can't make much money, no matter how good the box office is, it's also the film and television company, and it has nothing to do with them. ”
Zhang Qiuxi said: "And now, in addition to Superman is still hot, Batman has not been able to start again since he hit the street in the nineties." Green Arrow and The Flash only have TV series, and because the ratings are not good, they have never had the opportunity to appear on the big screen, and they can't even earn this copyright fee. ”
"Our anime is making its own theatrical version, and American comics are making live-action movies, in fact, with Hollywood's domineering in the film industry, it should definitely make more money than us, right?" Superhero movies can sweep the world, which they can't do, and Europeans and Americans are not interested in all kinds of theatrical cartoons.
Zhang Qiuxi said: "Now film and television companies are not optimistic about superhero movies, and DC is not willing to simply transfer copyrights to watch film and television companies make money, so they are looking for a way out." Jonathan recommended me, presumably because he thought I could bring a superhero movie back to life. ”
Zhang Qiuxi's grasp of the story has already been recognized by the whole world, otherwise even if Jonathan recommends DC, he may not be interested, because he recognizes her ability, so he takes it as an opportunity to run to the Celestial Empire.
"There's nothing to say about letting you write the script, but do you know anything about American comics?" Zhang Qiuxi didn't mention a word before, and the red bean felt hanging, so it can be done slowly, but how to get DC now?
"Meiman is so complicated, who can understand it." Zhang Qiuxi didn't plan to go into depth at all.
There are thousands of superheroes under DC Comics, and it's impossible for loyal fans to know them all. Not to mention this huge number, a single superhero is also complex enough, what is the main world, the parallel world, the golden age, the silver age, etc., there is a superwoman in Superman, and there are several generations of Flash, and it is a big head to sort out these relationships.
And these are all temporary searches, if it weren't for the strange feeling of receiving a call from Jonathan to check it, Zhang Qiuxi didn't know that DC Comics and these superheroes were born so early. On the contrary, Marvel's situation in the two planes is completely different, because it was born relatively late, and its superheroes are basically not familiar to her.
"I don't know if you still look like you're going to win." Red Bean couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Don't look at the current slump in superhero movies, the influence in the United States is very large, don't you think it will be very rewarding to intervene and make a lot of money?" Zhang Qiuxi said this, which made Hongdou think so, but in fact, this is only part of the reason.
I watched all the superhero movies in my previous life, and I was also nurtured with a superhero complex in my heart, how could I let it go if I had the opportunity to make my own zuò. Because of the different relationships between time and space, Zhang Qiuxi actually understands Marvel more, but there is nothing wrong with pinning this complex on DC.
The Marvel of the two planes is different, even if it is not DC that is found this time, it is destined to be impossible to restore the original time and space. The Hulk Black Widow is destined to be gone, especially Black Widow, how many people want to drink her bathwater.
Although there is no Marvel, the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the original time and space is worth plagiarizing, and Zhang Qiu is bound to win and is full of confidence because of this. (To be continued......)
