Chapter 1219: The Stage

"The Little Wizard series, there will be at least seven books!"

After entering the VIP room of the theater, Sun Peng looked at Wang Zishan and Ge Hailan for the first time, and said: "The time span in China is six or seven years, so in reality, even if we can't do one a year, these seven movies should all be released in about ten years!" ”

After a slight pause when he said this, Sun Peng said with a straight face: "Mr. Ge, Mr. Wang, you should be able to understand what I mean, right?" ”

"Understood."

Wang Zishan knew it in an instant, while Ge Hailan asked a little dazedly: "Teacher Bai, what do you mean...... We're going to start filming the second part right away? ”

After listening to Ge Hailan's words, Wang Zishan was suddenly happy: "No, he means that this series will always use these three little actors in the future!" ”

"That's right, you can't change people!"

Taking a deep breath, Sun Peng nodded and said: "Maybe you are still skeptical about the box office of "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone", but I need to remind you that after the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" came out in the second week, Haggs Pictures immediately started the filming plan for the second and third parts, and renewed the contracts with a group of actors to the fifth part...... Even so, they paid a hefty price! ”

This time, Gerhailan finally understood, and asked with wide eyes: "Are you saying that if we change people, it will affect the fans' acceptance of the sequel later, but if we don't change people, the actors will sit on the ground and raise the price?" ”

"Hehe, how can this be considered a starting price for sitting on the ground?"

His face darkened, Sun Peng hurriedly shook his head and said: "A series of movies, when the box office is high, it is natural to pay the actors, isn't this the practice of the film industry?" So I remind you two today, it's not that you should take advantage of the low salary of others to quickly find a way to sign a contract with the three of them, but I want you to take precautions and think about these things in advance! ”

Whether it's a little wizard or a little magician, Sun Peng knows too well how much potential there is in the future.

So he doesn't want to be like many series of movies on the planet, where the leading actors and producers will affect the filming because of the salary negotiations.

As for which side took advantage of the back, in fact, Sun Peng didn't care.

And he didn't think that he had reminded Wang Zishan and G. Hailan that these capitalists would definitely be able to force a few young actors to sign cheap deeds of sale. First, the protection of underage actors in this world is in place, and long-term contracts are not allowed, and the series of movies cannot exceed three; Second, just look at the scheming of the heroine just now, it is estimated that people's parents and agents are not fuel-efficient lamps!

After seeing the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", can they still not understand?

So after waking up, Sun Peng no longer cared about this matter, but worried about the arrangement of the release of "Han Bo and Lingshi", and asked seriously: "Two, the Chinese New Year file is the most tragic competition in the Chinese film industry in a year, what is our film scheduling rate in China?" What about overseas distribution? ”

When it came to the release, Wang Zishan suddenly became energetic: "Haha, don't worry, Mr. Sun, everything is going very smoothly!" Although the domestic film scheduling rate is not at the top level, the 21% rate is also the highest for the Chinese New Year...... There's no way, there are too many blockbusters to be released! ”

"Well, I understand that!"

Hearing this, Sun Peng nodded understandingly.

There is only one Chinese New Year stall in a year, and you can make money by lying down! In addition to "Han Bo and Lingshi", there is also the new film "Star Warrior" by the famous sci-fi director Chen Cheng - that is, the Chen Cheng who refused to let him direct "The Matrix" last time Sun Peng refused to let him direct "The Matrix" and later broke up with Chen Feifei - There are three domestic films with big investment or strong lineup, and "Crazy Old People's Home" co-starred by two major comedy stars Huang Fu and Wang Zhen alone!

And in addition, Hollywood is naturally unwilling to miss the most luxurious schedule in China.

So Henry, one of the Big Three in Hollywood and the box office record holder for world cinema? Kutcher's sci-fi film "Light and Shadow Killer" and a family-friendly animated film "Phoenix Adventures" will be strong contenders at the box office.

Six big productions, plus four medium-budget films, make up a huge lineup of Chinese New Year files!

"The key to being able to win 21% of the film scheduling rate is the credit of Mr. Lao Bai!"

At this time, Gerhailan was not willing to be lonely and smiled: "Because of the glorious history of the film adaptation of Mr. Bai's works, coupled with the global box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the major theaters have made heavy bets in the Lunar New Year...... Hehe, otherwise just relying on Director Wang Zhu and those actors who have never heard of the name, it would be quite remarkable to have a 10%! ”

"Huh."

For Ge Hailan's compliment, Sun Peng was not modest, nor did he admit it, so he could only smile and express his gratitude.

But......

The Chinese New Year stalls in this world are indeed terrifying!

Although the Chinese New Year stalls on the earth are also very crowded, after all, they have not been exaggerated to the extent of Huaxia, and they have squeezed into six major productions in one go, leaving almost no gaps. If you think about it with your thighs, everyone will definitely be bloody in this Chinese New Year!

But after thinking about it, Sun Peng also understood the reason.

Without him, the market capacity is large enough!

Filmmakers are not stupid, and if they really can't feed seven big productions, there will definitely be wise studios to choose to quit and not go head-to-head with powerful opponents. But because the film market in China is too big, in just the ten days from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, a total box office of billions or even tens of billions can burst out, even if everyone shares it equally, there will be about one billion!

Ten billion in ten days, this must be quite a good result.

The only suspense is that every year's Lunar New Year stalls have box office hits, and even popular models that are far ahead of the road, there are also defective products that have collapsed after the first day of release and the box office has completely collapsed.

But in any case, "Han Bo and Lingshi" at least won at the starting line.

So after seeing that Sun Peng was extremely satisfied, Wang Zishan continued: "As for overseas distribution, the Asian part is in charge of our Nanhai Pictures, basically our traditional markets in Huaxia have been negotiated, and most of them will be released simultaneously with Huaxia...... Haha, after all, many countries also celebrate the Spring Festival. Especially in the Japanese and Korean markets, we are the most invested in the market, and the film scheduling rate is quite high, which is not bad at all compared to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"! However, the European and American markets are definitely a little weaker, even if Haggs Films has made a lot of efforts, but ...... Hehe, movies with Chinese themes are still not as good as Hollywood after all! ”

Compared with Wang Zishan's regret, Groelan was more calm: "However, North America and France were released simultaneously, and the United Kingdom and Germany were only more than a week late, which is not bad." ”

"Haha, it's already amazing!"

After listening to the explanations of the two bosses, Sun Peng smiled with great satisfaction: "Anyway, the stage has been set up, and the next results depend on how Wang Zhu and the others sang this play!" ”
