The Little Wizard series is originally a super big IP, and if nothing else, it can at least create an industrial chain worth tens of billions of dollars, so as long as the box office of the sequel does not collapse, it is impossible for Haimen Pictures to have a bad relationship with Sun Peng, and it will naturally maintain a good relationship for at least ten years!

But Haggs Pictures and Capoca Anime are different.

A month after the release of the former's "Lion, Witch and Wardrobe", although the box office has exceeded one billion US dollars, and the final box office has been confirmed to fall above 1.2 billion US dollars, everyone has only cooperated with such a movie after all, and it is difficult for anyone to say what will happen next; Although Capoca has collaborated on three movies, Sun Peng has created a huge box office of almost four billion US dollars for them, but everyone knows that he has now turned his focus to DreamWorks, so everyone will compete in the future......

So if you want to win over these two allies, Sun Peng must pay a sufficient price!

Of course, this is only the price that Sun Peng thinks, but in the eyes of the outside world, whether it is Haggs or Capoca, the cooperation with Laobai is the party that pays the price, after all, they are the top film and animation companies in Hollywood, and what they give to Lao Bai is the top remuneration and dividends, and the investment in the film is also the world's top, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

And actually......

In fact, for a few of them, it really doesn't matter who is paying the price.

Sun Peng needs Hollywood's allies and supporters, at least when the influence of Lotus and Forbidden City overseas is not strong enough, Lao Bai needs Hollywood giants to help distribute and promote, and all he has to pay is some scripts that are originally the core of Hollywood and are not suitable for Chinese filmmakers; Similarly, Hemensi and Caboca also need Lao Bai, in addition to this guy's scripts being a big seller every time, but also because he is a Chinese, and Huaxia is the world's largest box office warehouse, not one of them!

To put it simply, this is a matter of mutual benefit.

So after experiencing the turmoil of the past two months, in fact, Sun Ya also understood this, nodded in agreement and then asked, "So...... Xiaopeng, are you sure which two scripts you want to give them? ”

"Capoca is the best, just pick one from the "Sunflower Tales"."

After thinking for a while, Sun Peng said helplessly: "But Haggs Pictures has no choice, they even want the adaptation rights of "Sunflower Stories"...... In my plan, those picture books should be adapted into animation, obviously not suitable for them! ”

Hearing this, Sun Ya asked curiously: "Animation, can't it be made into a live-action version like "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe"?" Haggs Film is very suitable for this kind of family-friendly genre of young age films, and I think I might as well consider it! ”

“…… No way! ”

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng shook his head very firmly.

It's not that he doesn't want to, the point is that he doesn't have the confidence that he can rewrite a cartoon from Earth into a live-action movie, and it can be widely liked. In that case, it will be a small matter if your reputation is damaged, and it will be distressing for the classics from the earth to be ruined.

"Hmmm......"

After standing up and turning around a few times, Sun Peng turned his head sharply to look at the second sister: "That's it, I'll make an interesting script in the next few days to see if they are interested...... The live-action version, and it's also the kind of family carnival type ......"

……

The success of "Heroes" has made many things "predestined".

The most important thing is, of course, Lao Bai's original words, even if he can't reach the goal of 3.5 billion US dollars, it is doomed to his indisputable success - film companies will not really take 3.5 billion seriously, what they value is Lao Bai or Laobai's ability to write scripts and make movies!

There are some other things, such as Wang Dayan staring at you is destined to disappear in the entertainment industry, and even Wang Qun will not have another chance; For example, among the leading actors in "Hero", although Wang Zhiyu and Lin Na have become more famous, they are destined to benefit the most from the nameless Ye Xing and Liao Jingjing who played the little maid; For example, "Mulan" and "Tomb Raider", which will be released next, are destined to attract the attention of thousands of fans......

On July 26, "Mulan" was officially released.

This DreamWorks took three years and invested in one billion yuan of "Huaxia's No. 1 Animation", which was already blown at the time of its premiere, and the day of its official release made countless parents take their children into the cinema - Huaxia's own story, produced by Huaxia's own film company, and it is also the largest animated blockbuster in Huaxia's history, these alone are actually enough.

What's more, his creator is still that old white?

So on the first weekend of the release of "Mulan", a large number of primary and secondary school students who had been on vacation, and even kindergarten children, rushed into the cinema under the leadership of their parents. In addition, there are countless animation fans, with the idea of supporting domestic animation, have generously donated, so that this animated blockbuster in Huaxia got the 1.86 billion Huaxia coins that made countless people's jaws drop!

890 million in the next four working days, 1.1 billion in the second weekend, and in just ten days, the local box office of "Mulan" exploded to 3 billion Chinese coins as Sun Peng and many people expected!

The crazy box office made I don't know how many people's glasses were shattered.

This result not only left the box office record of Huaxia Animation far behind, but even surpassed the previous "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe", and firmly stood on the throne of the box office champion of the first weekend of Huaxia until July!

Overseas, the box office of the first weekend also broke the record of Chinese animation, getting 61 million US dollars!

Laobai's cartoons are equally appealing.

It's not just about the screenwriter's fame or the $3.5 billion box office hype this summer, it's about the huge success of "Frozen," "The Lion King" and "Zootopia." Just like Pixar animation and Disney on Earth, the past word-of-mouth has given audiences enough confidence to walk into the cinema without hesitation.

As it turned out, they were not disappointed.

Based on the core of Hollywood, but after being wrapped in a layer of Chinese clothing, "Mulan" has not diminished its appeal to the audience in the slightest, and has even improved because of DreamWorks' pure Chinese style - only the change in painting style and some details brings the audience a complete sense of freshness.

So although the box office is far from "Zootopia" half a year ago, the evaluation of "Hu Mulan" is not low.

Even so, the box office of "Mulan" in the first weekend of North America was only 21 million, which is lower than "Hero" and far worse than the previous "Zootopia"! And even if the reputation is good, the box office on the second weekend still fell to 14 million, plus four working days, the ten-day box office is 50 million, which is far from satisfactory.

If it weren't for the box office explosion in Asia, DreamWorks would have been crying.

Compared with Hollywood, the production level is only a little worse, and the heroines who are well-known in many countries heavily influenced by China have made "Mulan" a box office hit in Asia. In Japan and South Korea alone, the box office reached $30 million in 10 days, and Southeast Asia also exceeded 16 million, setting an astonishing animated film record.

The overseas box office in ten days has crossed the $150 million mark......
