Regarding the result of "Pokemon: Phoenix King's Feather", although Boss Jia was very helpless, he didn't understand that this was the general trend.

It is a difficult thing for the sequel movie itself to surpass the previous work, and 90% of the sequel results in the world are inferior to the previous work, and the reasons are very complicated, so I won't elaborate on it.

If you want to expect the sequel to surpass its predecessor, then it must be a movie that can be a god, and such a movie needs to be lucky, and you can't force it.

Pokemon in history, the most profitable theatrical movie is actually Pokemon's first theatrical version of the movie Mewtwo's counterattack, and after that, any of Pokemon's theatrical movies has never been able to surpass the results of the first movie.

After all, the movie itself is not a time-traveler, and it has the luck of a time-traveler.

However, Boss Jia did not expect the "Pokemon" series of movies to achieve better results year after year, for Boss Jia, what he wanted was to make "Pokemon" a series like the Avengers, and use countless movies and TV animations to construct a complete Pokemon world.

In this way, a fixed fan group can be formed for a while, and then all the future movies of "Pokemon" will have a back, no matter how bad it is, as long as the name of Pokemon is shown, then there will be at least a $500 million global box office base.

If one day in the future, Pokemon announces that it will make a movie like the League of Divine Beasts, and let all the mythical beasts that appeared in the previous movies form a team to do big things, then I believe that as long as it is promoted, there will be a $1 billion box office base in an instant, which is the most beautiful place.

In fact, this time, although "Pokemon: Phoenix King's Feather" was not as good as its predecessor in the North American box office market, it surpassed its predecessor in the global box office market, and received a total box office of $820 million in the global market.

This shows that Pokemon's popularity and acceptance in the global market continue to increase, which is the best result for Pokemon and Boss Jia.

However, "Pokemon: Phoenix King's Feather" has also become the only movie released by Daqian Movies in the whole of 1997, which makes many rice filmmakers breathe a sigh of relief.

But they didn't know that in 1998, Daqian's movies would become very terrifying, because in the plan, "Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Fantastic Four", "Fast and Furious", and "The Matrix", a total of 4th movies will be released, which is the moment when Daqian movies really start their own era.

And right now, Boss Jia is also discussing another movie with Jon Landau.

"Chairman, this is the script proposed to me by the famous director Li of your Chinese people, I read it and think it is very good, but I don't know what you think!" Jon Landau took the script and discussed with Boss Jia, "You are a Chinese, and this is your Chinese kung fu, I think you will like it!" ”

"It's true that I'm from Huaxia, but I don't necessarily like this movie!" Just by looking at the name of this script, Boss Jia didn't bother to take a look.

It's not that this script is badly written, but that Boss Jia has long been very familiar with this script, because this script is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

However, Boss Jia doesn't like the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

In fact, this movie is quite good, whether it is the picture of the movie, or the acting skills of the actors, music, playing, etc., it is all top-notch, and Ang Lee's director has no problems.

But Boss Jia just doesn't like it, from the first time I saw this movie in my last life, I didn't like it very much.

The reason is very simple, because Boss Jia grew up watching Jin Yong and Gu Long's martial arts works, in his eyes, or in the eyes of all Chinese people, the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people.

A martial arts film, in addition to martial arts, there must also be chivalry, the kind of hero who smiles at the sky from the sword and goes to keep the liver and gallbladder.

But there are no heroes in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Li Mubai, who was named a hero by the rivers and lakes, is actually not a hero, he is just a traditional Chinese literati in his bones.

Yu Xiulian is not a hero, she is just a traditional Chinese lady.

Yu Jiaolong is not a hero, she is a lady with an awkward personality.

Luo Xiaohu is not a hero, he is originally a robber, even if he puts on the coat of love, he can't change the fact that he is a robber.

So there are no chivalrous people in the whole movie, let alone dragons and tigers, this is just a love movie dressed in martial arts.

So Boss Jia didn't like this movie.

"Then we won't take it?" Seeing Boss Jia's expression, Jon Landau said with some regret.

"I didn't say I wouldn't take this book!" Boss Jia shook his head.

Although I don't like it, but the future reputation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is real, if I don't take it, Ang Lee will have to go to Sony in the future, and let a Fusang company make a movie for the Chinese, and Boss Jia will be even more uncomfortable.

And I don't like it, but the quality of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" itself is still very good, so Boss Jia asked Jon Landau to take over the script, and at the same time allocated the crew and funds, ready to invest in the filming of this movie.

"Jia, you are really a complicated person, you obviously don't like it, but you still agree!" After things were agreed, Jon Landau sighed.

"Hehe, even if you become a great commander, you don't necessarily have a promotion to the freedom of the small people!" Boss Jia sighed.

"Grand Commander...... We're in trouble right now," Jon Landau muttered, now is the time for the zipper door incident to ferment, the news media has forgotten what environmental protection and Tesla, and the whole country is a piece of news.

"By the way, Jia, I still have an idea, I think the company can make a movie related to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms!" Jon Landau said suddenly.

"What?" This time, Boss Jia was in a daze, he didn't expect Jon Landau to make such a suggestion.

And Boss Jia recalled, it seems that in the previous life, except for John Woo's "Red Cliff", there were no famous Three Kingdoms movies in the world, why did Jon Landau suddenly mention that he wanted to shoot a movie about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how could Jon Landau come up with such an idea?

"I want to shoot the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I think audiences all over the world will love this story!" Jon Landau added.

"Jon, I'm curious how you came up with such an idea! Did someone hand you the notebook? Boss Jia asked curiously.

"Jia, you were the one who inspired me to come up with this idea!"

"It's me?"

"Yes, it's you!" Jon Landau nodded seriously and said, "Do you remember?" One day I went to the office to look for you, and I happened to see you reading a book, I asked you what the name of the book was, and you said it was the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! ”

"That's right...... And then what about ......"

"Then I became curious about the book, and then I happened to see the English version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on Amazon, so I bought it and spent three whole months reading it!"

"Jia, this is definitely the greatest conspiracy and war in the history of mankind, he surpasses all the wars in this world, if this story is made into a movie, it will definitely become the !! of the greatest war movie in the world" Jon Landau said excitedly.
