This summer, the most lively topic is undoubtedly the $3.5 billion box office event.

Four films, $3.5 billion at the box office.

In addition to Hollywood's two big IP series of movies, or pressing Steve? Aside from the supergiant director at Lucas's end, who else in this world dares to shout the slogan of $3.5 billion box office for four films? But after careful consideration, Sun Peng called out directly.

It's confidence, and it's a topic at the same time.

And in fact, just as Sun Peng expected, after the topic of the $3.5 billion box office became popular, the audience became interested in these films, and the box office of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and "Hero" exploded. Even in the summer vacation where strong enemies gathered, they still fought their way out.

But in the back, the overseas box office of "Mulan" and "Tomb Raider" showed obvious resistance.

These two movies, who dares to say that they are not good?

It's all a story with the core of Hollywood, but it's just a different package, but it uses modern light and shadow special effects to carry out the top processing, why is it not as good as the box office results at the end of the 20th century on the earth? If it weren't for the extra efforts of the domestic audience this time, maybe they would really be careless about Jinzhou.

There is no doubt that there are deep-seated reasons for this.

So through their overseas box office data, Sun Peng realized the fact that if you want to continue to swim in the European and American markets, you really can't do without the help of Hollywood giants!

This point, in fact, Sun Peng later figured it out himself.

Looking at Chinese movies on the earth, the gap between them and the Hollywood of this world is definitely like the Mariana Trench, but don't Hollywood giants often invite them to work together? Don't those domestic movie stars also play some roles in Hollywood blockbusters and are responsible for attracting domestic fans?

So after thinking about it, Sun Peng asked the second sister to continue to talk with Caboca and Haimensi.

Needless to say, the former has cooperated with three animated films in a row and won a box office of four billion US dollars, almost forming a box office effect called laobai + cappoca; And although the latter only collaborated on one film, the success of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" also proved the strength of the giant.

Moreover, in this public opinion war between Europe and the United States, the three companies have also contributed a lot, so no matter what aspect is considered, it seems that Sun Peng has no reason to completely get rid of them.

If you can't do it, then continue to cooperate.

Anyway, it is not difficult for Sun Peng to come up with a few scripts, so it is better to continue to expand his influence. But this must face a question, that is, what do you want to leave for DreamWorks?

The current DreamWorks, of course, does not have the strength to open two animations at the same time.

However, after finishing "Kung Fu Panda", their next work, Sun Peng feels that they should still consider the classic masterpieces on the earth, rather than developing new animations by themselves - after all, this industry also needs a foundation, and DreamWorks is still a lot behind.

So today, Sun Peng just wanted them to pick one out in advance.

After understanding what Sun Peng meant, Chen Muchen and Xia Qingqing quickly locked their eyes on two picture books - "Despicable Me" and "Monster Company"!

It's just that it's a bit difficult to pick one of them.

So after discussing it for a long time, Chen Muchen patted Sun Peng: "Xiaopeng, you can help us pick one!" Pick one that can have a higher box office! ”

“……”

twitched the corners of his mouth, and Sun Peng was also speechless.

If Xia Qingqing opened his mouth, he would never be able to say such a thing as "picking a higher box office". However, as the general manager and helmsman of DreamWorks, Chen Muchen spoke out naturally, without the reserve and loftiness of an artist.

So Sun Peng had no reason to laugh at others, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Then "Despicable Me", this picture book is more interesting, and ...... I also have ideas for a sequel. ”

"Ok, that's it!"

Hearing Sun Peng say this, Xia Qingqing and Chen Muchen's eyes lit up at the same time, and the decision was made.

Sequel?

So what else to consider?

Everyone knows that as long as the quality of the movie is the same in these years, the sequel will definitely make more money than the first one. And once a cartoon is serialized, the effect is definitely that one plus one is greater than two, and it is far greater than two!

As long as the first part is popular, the second part and the third part will be a proper gold mine!

"Okay, then Despicable Me!"

To be honest, no one knows the huge potential of "Despicable Me" better than Sun Peng, which is not comparable to "Monster Company". The next two sequels were all box office hits, plus the "Minions" that grossed more than one billion, this is an animated series that has the world's No. 1 grossing gross, surpassing the "Shrek" series.

In this world, with the huge addition of the words Huaxia Market and Lao Bai, not to mention four billion dollars, five billion dollars Sun Peng dares to think about it.

The box office is 5 billion, but it drives an industrial chain of tens of billions.

It's just that the reason why Sun Peng didn't say these things directly, but let Xia Qingqing and Chen Muchen choose them, was also because he made himself seem less "omniscient and omnipotent". For example, when the behind-the-scenes production footage of "Despicable Me" flows out in the future, Chen Feifei and Chen Muchen can talk about the original decision or something, which can also cover up a little bit......

……

"Sister, how did you talk to them?"

On the way home from DreamWorks, Sun Peng made a phone call to his second sister.

"Prima facie, it's more likely that everyone will take a step back."

Sun Ya's voice on the phone was a little tired, obviously because the recent negotiations were more energy-consuming, and said weakly: "Although they insist on not being willing to increase the proportion of the box office in the Huaxia market, they are willing to calculate the global market in a unified manner and give you a relatively high number." In addition, in addition to box office and peripheral dividends, Capoca is willing to raise the salary of the script and soundtrack to 50 million US dollars...... Xiaopeng, this is an unprecedented record in the history of Hollywood animation! ”

"Fifty million? Haha, that's a lot! ”

Even Sun Peng, who is accustomed to earning more than 100 million US dollars from a movie, was shocked when he heard this figure!

With 50 million US dollars, 95% of the world's film investment will not exceed this number, but he can get this number just by writing a script and writing a few tunes, not including the high share in the later stage, which does sound exaggerated enough.

But......

A shrewd Hollywood company like Capoca is naturally not a philanthropist and will not make a loss-making deal.

Willing to pay Sun Peng $200 million, it means that they can get two billion dollars in return! Maybe the box office of "Monster Inc" will not be particularly high, even if the influence of Huaxia and Lao Bai is powerful, it will only be more than one billion dollars in the end, but don't forget that there is also peripheral income!

There are tens of thousands of peripheral products of "Frozen", and they can still bring them hundreds of millions of dollars in net profits every year!

gave Sun Peng a part, and Capoca still had a big head.

After telling the second sister that she would come up with the movie script of "Monster Company" within a week, Sun Ya asked, "Xiaopeng, what about Haimensi Pictures?" "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is a high box office, and their expectations for the new script are not low! ”

"Don't worry, sister."

Lying back, Sun Peng said with a smile: "The new script will not be worse than that, but how the box office will be in the future depends on their ability to produce publicity." ”

"Oh? What is the name of the new script? What type? ”

"It's also a juvenile adventure genre, it's called Juman's Game......"
