The production cost of "Yakushiji Ryoko Strange Incident Book" reached 2 billion yen, and the remuneration for the actors was only a very small part of it, and most of the production costs were spent on the later shot production and special effects shooting, according to Kasuga's calculations, with the advantage of Kasuga's own distribution, as long as the box office of 3 billion yuan in Japan was obtained, the cost could be recovered, and long-term profits could be made through guò copyright and other methods in the future. The sale of the copyright and the foreign distribution are net profits.

In such a favorable situation, neither Shen Zhenghui nor Mitsumi Fukuda had high expectations for the final box office, and who knew that the market gave back a big surprise.

Shen Zhenghui knew that special effects movies would have good returns, but he was tossed up by the special effects in the future, thinking that the special effects of "Ryoko Strange Incident Book of Yakushi Temple" were too ordinary. This is all due to the fact that his standards are too high, but the speed of film development is too fast. You must know that when "The Matrix" first came out, everyone was still amazed, and by the time of the third part, the audience had already begun to get tired of Leo flying in the sky and his martial arts moves.

"Yakushiji Ryoko's Strange Incident Book" only achieved a box office of more than 20 million in Hong Kong, which is a little worse than Shen Zhenghui's previous records, but in fact, it is already one of the top ten box office results of the year, and the queen's charm has not yet shrouded here, all because Tanaka is digging the pit too slowly, and the current subtitle group is too few. The situation in Taiwan is very different, Tanaka's pit books are basically released at the same time, and sales skyrocketed during the film screening, and Taiwan's little freshmen are very interested in chasing the Japanese trend, so they have created a box office result that makes Shen Zhenghui feel quite honored. NT$460 million, which will steadily hold the first line of Taiwan's local films in the future.

And immediately after the end of "Hero" is the release of "Shanghai Fortress", this big showdown scene has been waiting for people all over the country for a long time.

Originally, Shen Zhenghui was still a little nervous, but after the box office results of "Ryoko Yakushiji Strange Incident Book" came out, he completely discarded these worries. In front of those awesome second-generation investors, he showed his true colors as an artist. Lao Tzu's movie has earned more than one billion yuan at the box office, and it has not yet been released in the United States and Europe, Nima's 300 million yuan investment movie is a dick in front of me, and I have the ability to open up the mainland market and let "Yakushi Temple Ryoko's Strange Incident Book" be released?

Of course, Shen Zhenghui doesn't think that "The Book of Strange Events of Ryoko Yakushiji" can swipe much box office in the mainland, and it will be about the same ten years later. At the moment, there may not be a market for this theme. But that doesn't stop him from putting on a confident face in front of others. As distributors, China Film and Poly Group signed a contract with Kasuga to share the buyout, and the contract stipulates that if "Shanghai Fortress" can achieve a box office of more than 3 billion yen in Japan, Kasuga will pay 100 million yuan for the buyout rights. If the box office results are between two billion and three billion. Pay 80 million RMB. If it is less than 2 billion, 50 million yuan will be paid. Now, looking at the box office of more than 10 billion in "Ryoko Yakushiji Strange Incident Book". Both publishers felt a little regretful, and could only console themselves by saying that the Chinese theme may not have a high box office in Japan, and the Japanese may not like to watch this film.

At the same time, Colombia also showed great interest in the "Shanghai Fortress" table, and intended to send high-level officials to China to negotiate and observe the film's box office performance in China to determine the copyright purchase price.

So Shen Zhenghui met Mr. Thomas again at the premiere in China.

The conversation between the two took place after the movie rather than before the movie, which can be understood as Columbia's hope to put pressure on Shen Zhenghui by lending the distribution rights, and on the other hand, Shen Zhenghui may not have the intention of increasing his value through the quality of his films. ，

Under the management of China Film Group, the premiere of "Shanghai Fortress" was star-studded, and Director Zhang, who had just been very successful, appeared at the premiere to cheer Shen Zhenghui, and the crew of "Hero" appeared almost one by one, and the people of the two crews got along very closely, and there was no tension in the previous reports. Director Zhang even smiled in response to reporters' questions about the box office, claiming that the box office victories of "Hero" and "Shanghai Fortress" are both victories of domestic films, and he very much hopes that the box office of "Shanghai Fortress" can break through "Hero", because this is a great thing for domestic films.

In addition to Zhou Xun, the crew of "Shanghai Fortress" was very calm, Zheng Chao and Zhang Jiayi were a little nervous about such a scene. Teacher Du Yulu doesn't care, he is an old man, and he is not taking the route of an idol. However, the old gentleman is still very proud to be able to participate in such a commercial movie, so he is also very much looking forward to the box office and the evaluation of the movie. Those professionals involved in the production of the film are hidden in the invisible places, especially Zhang Juza, although he is handsome and chic, but he wears ordinary clothes to attend the premiere like an ordinary person. In Shen Zhenghui's opinion, if he wears a military uniform to participate in the catwalk, the premiere of this movie will become a legend in ten or eight years. But it is clear that such an extravagant hope cannot be achieved. Dozens of professional consultants dressed up as ordinary people to attend the premiere, but wherever they sit, they can make people see that their bearing is extraordinary, which is the temperament of a soldier.

Wang Anping also came to the premiere, she wore a hat and sunglasses very low-key, more star-than-star, and Shen Zhenghui invited her to participate in negotiations with Colombia. Originally, Shen Zhenghui didn't want to participate in this matter at all, after all, he was just a director in this film. But after Colombia released the rumor that he hoped to talk to him, a group of red second-generation people would not let go of the banknotes in hand, so in fact, he was set up, and he didn't know anyone who was really doing business underneath.

So Mr. Thomas sat with Shen Zhenghui and Wang Anping, and next to him there were Han Sanye and Poly's manager, Mr. Thomas saw the footage of the aircraft carrier in the trailer before the movie started, so he said to Shen Zhenghui without any scruples, "This kind of large-scale war movie may not be easy to recover the cost." The results of "Pearl Harbor" were not very good before. ”

"That play...... Well, bad luck, I crashed into 911. Shen Zhenghui replied.

"Well, that's true." Thomas shrugged his shoulders, "It's good that we didn't invest in it. ”

"My last film on the mainland was also a war movie, and the upper and lower episodes together broke the record of Cameron's "Titanic" in China." Shen Zhenghui replied.

"Oh......" Thomas was a little embarrassed, "I'm talking about the U.S. market." ”

"Let's talk about the U.S. market after we finish it." Shen Zhenghui replied to him, and then calmed down and began to watch the movie seriously.

To be honest, the plot setting of "Shanghai Fortress" is the same as "Pearl Harbor", mixed with war and love. Fortunately, the Chinese do not ink on love like the Americans. It is not reversed to the point where war and history are the foil of love, and fundamentally speaking, this is also a movie that pursues visual effects, when bubble defense, aircraft, aircraft carriers, and the Oriental Pearl Tower appear as defensive weapons. Bursts of inhalation could be clearly heard in the screening hall.

Even those who want to cheer are fascinated by the magnificence. This time. The love story of the literary youth caught in the period is a relaxing spice.

Xu Qing's Yan sù's appearance as a female officer and Zhou Xun's naughty and cute girl's appearance made the eyes of those present light up, which made Zhang Ziyi angry. Because it is said that she is on the casting list, she thinks that this is because of the conflict with "Hero", otherwise Lu Yiyi's role will not be the turn of the week. The reason why this young lady is so confident is her international influence. In comparison, Zhou Xun is not one or two points worse than her. But in fact, it is impossible for Shen Zhenghui to use her.

Another group of people in the movie hall who are most engaged in watching are the consultants who participated in the filming represented by Zhang Juzuo, these people gave the most professional opinions during the shooting, some were adopted, some were not, at this time they were also the first time to see the official complete film, Zhang Juzuo saw that his commanding expression in front of the green screen was really shown on the aircraft carrier at this time, and he was a little excited for a while, and he didn't know who to talk to with the pride in his heart. In the future, many of the background films of his "New Observation on Defense" program used the movie footage of "Shanghai Fortress", and those who participated in the filming saw that the final effect was so thrilling that many of them opened their mouths wide.

"That's too ...... It's amazing, how did I feel so stupid when I was shooting, and it was so awesome when it came out in the end! Someone sighed.

"The shooting cost of 300 million, do you think it was spent in vain?" Someone laughed at him next to him.

Now they are too rare and strange, and the investment of hundreds of millions of yuan will not happen, and several big directors will do this kind of thing in the future.

Director Zhang fell into deep contemplation, feeling that Shen Zhenghui's filming path had taken a completely different path, and reflected on whether the academic school had taken the road too dead, so not only could he not catch up with the halfway monk, but even the layman could not compare.

Han Sanye and Poly's manager paid attention to Thomas's expression while watching, Thomas never closed his mouth the whole time, he had watched the cartoon of "Shanghai Fortress", but what he didn't expect was that the tone and rhythm of the movie were completely different from the cartoon. At the same time, he was bewildered by the reaction of the Chinese audience, and did not understand why some people applauded vigorously after the aircraft carrier took off.

"How?" Wang Anping, who was on the side, patted Shen Zhenghui's arm, and then didn't wait for a response for a long time. Turning around, Shen Zhenghui touched his chin and stared straight at the screen.

Wang Anping patted him again, "How is it?" She was asking about the negotiations later.

As a result, Shen Zhenghui sniffed, "It's so good," Shen Zhenghui said in a low voice, "I'm going to be moved myself." What came to his mind at this time was the video of the spontaneous celebration of the Chinese people after the successful take-off and landing of China's own aircraft carrier in the future.

Wang Anping shook her head, preparing not to ask him at this time.

The quiet screening room shows the charm of the film, and when the protagonist receives a text message that has been delayed for many years, the sound of a girl choking can be heard at the scene.

China Mobile's advertising has made a lot of money. Wang Anping said to herself in her heart. (To be continued......)
