In 1995, "Jumanji" was released.

With a global box office of just over $260 million, it seems inconspicuous in the 21st century. But Sun Peng knew that the box office of this movie was the seventh in North America that year, and the top spot that year was "Toy Story", a super IP that created a new era of animated films.

Twenty years later, with the global market that Hollywood has opened up, how much box office will this "Jumanji" win?

Sun Peng is really not sure about this.

However, he can guarantee that the Hollywood movie giants in this era can definitely shoot "Jumanji" more excitingly, and the scenes will be more grandiose, so that he can enjoy this very favorite movie again, in comparison, the box office is really not the most important......

Ahem, well, Sun Peng admitted that he thinks the box office is also very important.

It took a week for the two scripts to be freshly baked at Sun Peng's house, and at the same time, Sun Ya's negotiations with Hollywood were basically complete. "Monsters, Inc." received $50 million, plus 16 percent of the global box office and 10 percent of the peripherals; The share of "Jumanji" is about the same, but the salary has dropped to $30 million.

After all, one is a cartoon that Sun Peng has succeeded in seven times, and the other is still a little wrong in comparison.

But without exception, both companies agreed to Sun Ya's conditions without seeing the script. According to Hymens Pictures Karios? Mr. Monte said that this situation has never been seen in Hollywood, not to mention their company, but in the whole of Hollywood - this Sun Ya certainly does not believe, but it is enough to represent their sincerity. You must know that the investment in "Monsters, Inc." must be hundreds of millions, and "Jumanji" will not be less than 80 million US dollars.

And if nothing else, each of them will be the box office harvester of the summer vacation file the following year.

I don't know if it's because Sun Ya is scared of her appetite, anyway, the two companies that are afraid of long nights and dreams, their respective dignitaries can't wait to fly to Beijing, ready to participate in the cooperation signing ceremony organized by Sun Ya......

……

"Alas, what a toss!"

After arriving at the press conference, Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh and complained to his assistant: "I used to sign in private...... I don't even need to see those people, I just give the contract to the second sister. As a result, this time not only to meet people, but also to sign in the presence of hundreds of reporters, is this too exaggerated? ”

"It's normal, because everybody needs it."

Continuing to look at his small notebook, Liu Chang replied without raising his head as he walked.

"All need this? What do you mean? ”

Facing Sun Peng's curiosity, Liu Chang sighed helplessly, and raised his head with the notebook closed: "I said that you have been too involved in making games and writing recently?" Anyway, none of your four movies have been fully released, so you have to be concerned, right? ”

"Uh......"

Hearing Liu Chang say this, Sun Peng was really a little embarrassed.

I've been going to DreamWorks lately, and I've really developed an interest in making games, and it's really satisfying to watch the programmers and artists bring their ideas to life every day. And after returning home, the fourth part of the little wizard and the little wizard must also be hurried, especially the fourth part of the little wizard "Han Bo and Qingyun Bell", which is based on "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" to be completely adapted, which undoubtedly involves Sun Peng's huge energy and time.

This time, he wasn't going to make minor changes.

Because after watching the movie "Han Bo and Lingshi", Sun Peng has already discovered one point, that is, with the efforts of Chinese filmmakers, the Little Wizard series has shown a huge difference from the Little Magician!

If it weren't for the fact that the plot was too tiring, they would be two completely different movies.

The pure Chinese style picture, as well as various settings and scenes faintly with the shadow of Xianxia, all make "Han Bo and Lingshi" show audiences around the world a completely different style from Western magic - the core of the content is still Western, and there is no problem for both Chinese and Western audiences to accept it!

What would be the result of easy-to-understand content and completely fresh graphics?

The box office success of "Han Bo and Lingshi" has spoken for itself, and it has proven that this adaptation is also very acceptable to local audiences in China - after all, after so many years of Western magic movies, the subtle energy is too great.

So by the time of the fourth part, Sun Peng's ambitions were also greater.

He wants to adapt "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" bigger, fill in more purely Chinese factors, and even adapt some too Westernized plots without affecting the overall situation!

The reason why these two have dragged on for so long is because Sun Peng has been preparing.

And now, when everything is ripe, Sun Peng decided to launch these two books at the end of this year to build momentum in advance for the two films to be released next year......

So although Liu Chang was a little embarrassed to say it, Sun Peng didn't regret it, but said with a smile: "I care, I know that the global box office is about to reach 3.5 billion US dollars!" Hehe, those people's faces are swollen now, right? But what does this have to do with today's events? ”

I have to say that the local audience in China is really amazing!

"Mulan" and "Tomb Raider" were two films that performed mediocre overseas, and the combined box office was only about $400 million two weeks later. If this trend continues, it will be difficult for them to win a box office of 1.5 billion dollars. Then in China, the total box office of the two has exceeded 5 billion Chinese dollars, nearly 800 million US dollars, more than double the overseas box office!

It can be said that the Chinese audience used the power of one country to raise the box office of these two movies.

So from the day when the four films grossed more than $3.4 billion, the world's major entertainment media frantically reported on it, and even some financial and current affairs magazines and TV programs commented on it - everyone knew that the total box office exceeded $3.5 billion was close at hand, and it was a certainty.

Even if no one from overseas goes to see it from that day on, the Chinese people will make up at least $100 million.

So after many viewers found that the subconscious boycott of these two films had no effect, they completely let go of their obsessions and began to go into the cinema to watch two wonderful films. This is also the reason why, after a long time of release, the overseas box office of "Mulan" and "Tomb Raider" did not fall but rose, but came to a small reversal!

It's just that even so, Sun Peng still can't figure out what it has to do with holding a press conference.

"Happy? It's already here, big brother! ”

Rolling his eyes, Liu Chang said angrily: "Just two hours ago, the global box office has crossed the threshold of 3.5 billion US dollars!" And it is precisely because of this big news that this press conference must be held......"
