Chapter 269: A martial arts film

The box office of "Kung Fu Panda" directly made countless people and countless film and television companies mistaken. I think his box office is a little incredible!

Who said there is no market for animated films in China? With a daily box office of nearly 100 million, how many Chinese movies, even those so-called blockbusters, can do it?

It's not that there is no market for animated films, it's that you can't shoot animated films with a market yourself!

At this time, in the eyes of those film and television companies, animated films are like a virgin land waiting to be opened, but what makes people feel envious and jealous is that Wen Yi gave them a head start.

However, they can't help it. Who would have thought before that? Who would dare to invest in such a big movie like Wen Yi.

An animated film directly broke the maximum investment amount of Huaxia films.

If "Kung Fu Panda" hadn't invested so much, how could it have such an effect?

Previously, the biggest investment was undoubtedly "Kung Fu" jointly filmed by Wen Yi and Lionsgate! But after all, it is a joint venture film, although the investment is very large in China, but it is not so big in Hollywood.

Now, Wen Yi's "Kung Fu Panda" is his sole proprietorship, and the investment is larger than that of "Kung Fu", a joint venture film. No one can deny that if someone else is replaced, other film companies don't have such courage at all.

Jiayi Company is not the largest film company in Huaxia, but it is definitely the most courageous!

Whether it is an individual or a film and television company, who dares to invest 100 million and say US dollars to shoot a cartoon?

The box office of "Kung Fu Panda" in China. It shocked countless people. But anyone can see it. Whether the film was a success or not. In the end, it depends on the box office in overseas markets.

After all, with an investment of 100 million US dollars, such an investment cannot be recovered by relying only on the Chinese market.

A week after the film was released in China, it topped the weekly box office list with a box office of nearly 400 million, and breaking 500 million is already an ironclad thing, as for whether it can follow "Kung Fu". became the second film to break the box office of one billion, it depends on the sustainability of this film.

A week later, Kung Fu Panda was released on the 6th in the rest of Asia and North America.

And the North American film market is undoubtedly the most critical place. He undoubtedly has a large market share in the film, and the acceptance of animated films is also easier than in other regions.

The box office in Huaxia and other places continues to be hot, and there is good news in Asia, Europe and other places, and the overseas box office market will not be bad, at least this animation with a huge investment, the possibility of losing money is not great.

And when Wen Yi came to Los Angeles with the scripts of "Rush Hour" and "Changing Face", it happened that "Kung Fu Panda" appeared in North America for a week. and took out a blockbuster by a narrow margin, ranking outside the North American box office list with a box office of nearly $70 million.

It is extremely rare for a Chinese film to reach the top of the North American box office charts. In the memory of many fans. Except for one of Bruce Lee's films back then, there are only Wen Yi's films. It's just that what surprised them a little was that Wen Yi actually used an animated film this time to beat the films given by Hollywood studios with high hopes and climbed to the top of the North American box office.

The news that Wen Yi's film once again landed on the North American box office list reached China, which undoubtedly stimulated the movie-watching boom again. The box office has already declined a little, and then it began to turn around. Approaching the next painting, it is approaching a billion.

Wen Yi's success in North America has apparently stimulated many Chinese film companies again.

And Wen Yi himself has obviously become the focus of major media again. However, to the regret of those media, Wen Yi did not return to China at this time, but went to North America.

Wen Yi went to North America this time, although it was ostensibly to promote "Kung Fu Panda", but everyone knows that "Kung Fu Panda" was released in North America for a week, if you go again, what else will you promote?

There are no impermeable walls to things. Some of Wen Yi's cooperation intentions with Wu Sen, Cheng Jie and others have already been spread, not to mention that they did not deliberately hide it. Therefore, many people know that Wen Yi went to North America this time for nothing more than those two films.

The two films were filmed at the same time, and they were also cooperated with Hollywood studios. This surprised many people again, Wen Yi's steps seemed to be walking fast, and he was also ahead of many people.

"It is worthy of being a screenwriter who has won the Oscar. These two films are really wonderful and I'm looking forward to it. After reading the scripts of Wen Yi's two films, Frank said with some excitement, "I have to admit that my previous worries were unnecessary." However, I had new worries at this time. Mr. Wen Yi,? Mr. Wu is okay to say that I have watched the films he directed, and I am still very sure of his guiding ability. ……”

"Trust me, Mr. Franck! I look at people with Wenyi, I can't be wrong! Whether it's Wu Sen or Cheng Jie, I believe in them. Please believe them too! Wen Yi looked at Frank and spoke.

"Huh! Mr. Wen Yi, whether it is for people or for the grasp of the market, you are unique. I'm a big believer in that. Frank smiled and said, "I'll convince the top of the company." ”

"I believe in Mr. Franck's abilities. I also hope that Lionsgate will not let me be discredited. As for reputation, people like us who practice martial arts are more important than anything else. Wen Yi smiled and said.

When Frank heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. He also heard the meaning of Wen Yi's words. To put it bluntly, if Lionsgate does not agree to let Wu Sen and Cheng Jie guide, then there will be no basis for cooperation between the two parties. Because, he Wenyi will not lose his trust in others.

"How long will Mr. Wen Yi stay in the United States this time? If you are not in a hurry to go back, why don't you go back after participating in the screening of "The Expendables"? Frank said suddenly.

"The Expendables? Isn't that going to take over the file of "Kung Fu Panda", almost nearly a month? Wen Yi shook his head, and then said, "I'm preparing for a new film now, and it's impossible to delay it for so long in the United States." However, this film is related to me after all, and I will participate in the screening as much as possible! ”

"Oh? Mr. Wen Yi prepares a new film? Don't know what type of video it is? Now that your movie is released, guess what type of film your next film will be, which has spread from China to Europe and the United States. Frank smiled and said.

"A traditional Chinese martial arts film!" Wen Yi said.

"Martial arts films?" Frank said with some confusion.

"That's right! Martial arts movies, not kung fu movies! Wen Yi smiled and said.

Martial arts films! The film shot by Wen Yi is naturally the only Chinese film to win an Oscar in the previous life, and there is more than one award. In terms of nominations, that's even more. It's just that in the end, except for the Best Foreign Language Film Award, they are all awards that are not heavy.

Best Picture, Best Director was nominated, but it didn't win, which is inevitably regrettable.

Wen Yi said at the Oscars that he hopes to stand on the stage next time because of a Chinese movie. is full of oriental cultural elements, Wen Yi really can't think of other films except for the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

As the only film to win an Oscar, Wen Yixue was born as a director, so he naturally studied this film deeply. Moreover, when I was studying, the teachers at those schools also explained a lot about this film.

As for how many times I watched this film, Wen Yi can't remember. But in his mind, the most impressive thing is undoubtedly this film. Not to mention remembering every line clearly, but also remembering seven, seven, eight, eight!

As for the rest of the film, such as the soundtrack, the scenes, the costumes, and even the grasp of the camera, they all have a profound impact. Wen Yi is not sure how many people can be nominated for the Oscars and how many they will win after this film is filmed. But Wen Yi believes!

, Wen Yi doesn't have to make movies. Standing on the basis of the original, but he can't go beyond the original, then there is no need for him to shoot a film. (To be continued......)
