According to the hot Cheng dù of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", although there are less than ten days left in the end, and the attendance rate is definitely not as good as before, the total box office exceeds 800 million is absolutely indispensable.

This is already an eye-catching good result, you must know that at the beginning of the year, a movie that broke 100 million yuan was enough to make many filmmakers envious, jealous and hateful, and now the achievements of Journey to the West have made countless film companies eager to kill Xiao Ran!

And this is only the result of the first part, you must know that the Journey to the West series is the world's first series of movies divided into upper and lower episodes!

In other words, although according to the normal situation, the box office of the next episode will definitely not be as good as the previous episode, because how can people who have not watched the first part go to the cinema to watch the finale?

But even so, the response to the last episode is so strong, there are definitely a lot of viewers who watch the next episode after watching it, and now all the media magazines and online communities have discussed this movie to an extremely crazy point, just open a newspaper or a forum website, you can see the poster of this movie, and related discussions!

This has made many filmmakers and critics believe that the combined box office of these two films may eventually exceed 1.5 billion!

What is this concept?

Last year, there were a total of 77 movies produced in the entire Chinese film industry, but the total box office was only a little more than 1.5 billion!

Now Xiao Ran's two movies are equal to all the efforts of all filmmakers last year.

This number can no longer be called a miracle, it is simply going to slaughter the gods against the sky!

……

"Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" was only launched at the end of the year. But it has achieved an amazing box office record, and it has become the most critically acclaimed and most popular movie of the year, and this belongs to the movie side.

In terms of animation, "Tomb of the Gods" launched by Tianxuan Studio, in which Xiao Ran became a shareholder, is almost about to become the most popular animation film in the whole of China.

And this cartoon can be said to be watched by audiences from three to eighty years old, and older audiences watch the layout and plot of this cartoon, as well as the dialogue and description of the characters, which are incomparable to ordinary cartoons.

And the young children are watching all kinds of wonderful fights in the movie, and this is what Tianxuan Studio is best at, although the places where they learned anime before were in the island country. But in addition to loving anime. They are also loyal fans of Chinese fantasy novels.

So how to combine anime and fantasy novels has become a problem that these people have been thinking about for a long time!

Fortunately, cartoons are not movies, so many special effects can be drawn and then solved on the computer. This is also why Xiao Ran did not think about adapting the fantasy novel into a movie. But it was sold to Tianxuan Studio and adapted into an anime for the reason.

In fact, I want to make a super martial arts movie. The cost is absolutely scary, and the results that often come out are thankless!

For example, Xiao Ran liked a movie called "Shu Mountain" very much in his previous life, and the director of that movie, Xu Laowei, was a forward-thinking character. In that era when technology was not yet developed, it was possible to drum up such a high-level movie, but the final box office result was applauded but not popular!

So Xiao Ran is still a little bit more than willing to shoot such a movie!

However, "Tomb of the Gods" is indeed not easy to make into a movie, and the fight is full of sunshine, thousands of colors, and there are so many fight scenes in the book, it is really made into a movie, and it is estimated that no one can see the effect of spending 100 million on special effects......

On the contrary, the low cost of animation is the most suitable for adapting fantasy novels, so in addition to the "Tomb of the Gods", which has been launched on the market and has been widely acclaimed, before the recent New Year, Tianxuan Studio has been preparing to launch a trial version of "Breaking the Sky", which is somewhat similar to the trailer of the movie.

And Xiao Ran can be said to be the first to see the trial version in addition to the employees of Tianxuan Studio, and after reading it, Xiao Ran felt more and more correct about his decision, and began to gradually increase his investment in Tianxuan Studio.

Fortunately, at this time, Tianxuan Studio had not yet attracted venture capital, so in order to produce more sophisticated cartoons, and in order to get Xiao Ran's first-hand copyright adaptation, Tianxuan Studio gave up 30% of its shares and made Xiao Ran the second shareholder.

……

Yanjing Xidemen, Jiayi Film Company.

At this moment, Yuan Xiaojun, the top decision-maker of Jiayi Cinema, is sitting in his office, and sitting with him is the company's partner, You Tian of Fidelity HNA.

"Lao Yuan, I planted the nail outside to sue me, Huo Chengen of Encyclopedia has already gone to Zhengdong Film Company to find Xiao Ran, what do you think?"

You Tian smoked a cigar and said to Yuan Xiaojun that he had always been in the shipping business, but when Jiayi invested in a satellite company a few years ago, Yuan Xiaojun was facing a fault because of the capital chain in his hand, so he pulled You Tian, who had known him for more than ten years, to run Jiayi Cinema Line together.

Because the satellite company under the entire Jiayi Cinema Line has not made a blockbuster movie for several years, although the loss is not very large, it basically does not make much money, it is all a little money here, and a little loss there.

may be exactly like this, so there is no contradiction between the two sides, You Tian, who has always been known as a tycoon in the business world, is unwilling to invest in movies by himself and has not made any achievements, so he has planted a lot of nails on the side of Encyclopedia and Yida, and the plan is to fight a continuous war of knowing each other and confidants, always wanting to seize the opportunity and be able to make a difference in the film industry.

After hearing You Tian's words, Yuan Xiaojun smiled and said, "Da Lutian, your news is really well-informed, so what do you think?" ”

Hearing Yuan Xiaojun throw the problem back to himself, You Tian felt a little disgusted, although there was no big contradiction between the two in the past few years, but You Tian hated Yuan Xiaojun's inaction mentality very much, and always persuaded himself with the reason that the film industry has been too sluggish in recent years, and has been cowering with him and waiting for the opportunity.

You Tian pays attention to unscrupulous means in doing business, and any strategy is good, and it is a good strategy to achieve the result he wants: "Naturally, it is a good plan to give the newspapers and magazines outside, it is best to get photos of the two of them meeting, and then publish them to provoke the cooperation between Xiao Ran and Lu Yuesheng, it is best to let Xiao Ran betray Yida, so that we can open the door to meet him, this kid is a talent, and the box office of several movies is worth the total box office of all our movies this year!" ”

Yuan Xiaojun also picked up a cigar and lit the fire, and after taking a puff, he spit out a thick smoke: "Of course I know that Xiao Ran is a talent, not only do we know, but now Lu Yuesheng also knows, do you think that this old boy will force Xiao Ran to leave because of your little means to sow discord, I heard that the two film companies Zhengdong and Zhengying are now operated by Xiao Ran's exclusive holdings, that is to say, the box office share of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", Xiao Ran only needs to share the dividends of the Lu family cinema line, but in terms of film companies, Lu Yuesheng can't intervene anymore, Lu Yuesheng can grit his teeth and agree to such conditions, do you think it is possible to rebel against Xiao Ran? ”

After listening to Yuan Xiaojun's words, You Tian looked a little impatient: "Then what do you say?" It turned out that the movie market is not good, we have to shrink up and survive with small-budget movies, but now Xiao Ran's investment is hundreds of millions, and the box office return is several times at once, and now they are predicting that his Journey to the West series will have to win at least 1.5 billion box office, if we don't do something, sooner or later we won't even be able to keep the current audience! If you look at the release of "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box", the highest attendance rate of our cinemas is less than 50%, and it will be over sooner or later! ”

Yuan Xiaojun soothed: "I'm more anxious than you, but being anxious can't solve the problem, can't the Huo family's father and son be called one of the characters?" They were all forced by Lu Yuesheng to have no way out, what can we do? In the current situation, if Xiao Ran is a smart person, he will not want Jiayi and Encyclopedia to be crushed, in this case, if no theater can resist Yida, what can Xiao Ran use to negotiate with Yida Group? ”

When You Tian heard this, he immediately felt justified: "You're right, if Yida really monopolizes it, the first one to strangle is Xiao Ran!" Although this kid is young, there will always be someone around him who will make it clear to him about such an obvious thing, maybe he has already figured it out himself, my people have said that Huo Chengen's face did not show any displeasure after he came out of Xiao Ran's office, maybe they have already negotiated some conditions, or we will also go to Xiao Ran, right? ”

You Tian's way of doing business is mainly enterprising, and I think his HNA Group also developed in this way.

Seeing that he was so anxious, Yuan Xiaojun, who has been in the cinema business for decades, said flatly: "Since the Huo family has already looked for Xiao Ran, we don't need to look for it anymore, as long as Xiao Ran figures it out, what he can help is naturally to help the Huo family make a blockbuster movie, but with his current situation, it is naturally impossible to use his team to help Encyclopedia, I think most of it is just to write a few anonymous scripts!" ”

"Xiao Ran is a character known as a screenwriter of 100 million yuan, isn't his script worthwhile?"

Yuan Xiaojun explained: "It seems that you have been making movies for a few years, but you still can't see through it!" It is true to say that the script is the foundation of a play, but the quality of the script also depends on whose hands it falls into, now if the Huo family really takes Xiao Ran's script, then they should have a headache, Xiao Ran's several movies have already put forward the concept of large-scale zuò again, and now if you still want to make a small-budget movie, you can't shake Yida Cinema Line at all, so if you really shoot a large-scale drama, who will shoot it, and how to shoot it is a big problem! ”

A good film director can shoot an incomplete script perfectly, and a bad director can only be a waste if he gives a good script!

Yuan Xiaojun's words immediately made You Tianmao pause: "You mean to wait for the Huo family's new movie to come out, and then make a move?" (To be continued......)
