Brother Mars's performance at the Super Bowl, Sun Peng really watched it.

The song "Upton Funk" was sung by him with another feeling, which is very suitable for the kind of big scene where everyone gathers. It's just that this thought flashed in his mind, and Sun Peng threw it aside, just smiling and congratulating Luo Tianwang.

Super Bowl halftime show, it's a superstar patent.

This was undoubtedly an opportunity for Luo Cheng, so he couldn't wait to agree, and immediately agreed to the other party's request to sing "Upton Funk". Of course, the specific details still need to be put into the hands of the brokers.

As for Sun Peng's words, he returned to China the next day according to the original plan.

The biggest festival of the year in China, the Spring Festival is coming. And on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Forbidden City Pictures invested a lot of money, and Sun Peng also newly threw out the classic action movie script, "Hurricane Rescue 2 - True Lies" is also about to be released. As the screenwriter and composer of the film, Sun Peng had to go back to the premiere.

And the day after returning home, it was just in time for ......

"Overall, it's pretty good!"

When I met Xue Ligang at the premiere, Lao Xue, who was about to play the villain of "League of Assassins", was quite excited: "The trailer is very enjoyable, and the song "One Step Away" is also super good, so not only fans who like the first part are very happy, but passers-by are also attracted a lot...... The pre-sale box office alone has already exceeded 100 million. If nothing else, it is not a big problem to break 200 million before the official release! ”

The pre-sale of 200 million, as long as the reputation is not bad, the box office will start at least 2 billion!

However, Sun Peng doesn't care about the so-called pre-sale or expected box office now, he only cares about one thing: "Brother Xue, how many blockbusters will be released in this year's Chinese New Year?" I mean the competitive kind! ”

"Add our words, five!"

Stretching out the five fingers of his right hand, Xue Ligang's expression also became serious: "Among them, there is a comedy, an epic masterpiece, a Hollywood science fiction movie and a magic film, anyway, just from the perspective of investment, directors, actors, etc., almost all of them are the fierce rivals of "True Lies"...... Haha, someone has specifically calculated that the average production cost of Chinese movies released on the first day of the Lunar New Year is as high as 450 million! ”

“……”

Hearing this number, even Sun Peng couldn't help but be surprised.

An average production cost of 450 million? Let's not talk about how much water is in it, but it's scary enough to say! If you add the publicity and distribution costs, wouldn't everyone go for more than 600 million? If it is converted into US dollars, it means that the average cost of the five movies released on the first day of the Lunar New Year is about 100 million US dollars?

Awesome, my Huaxia!

Chatting and chatting, Sun Peng has a certain understanding of this Chinese New Year file.

Needless to say, Hollywood's sci-fi movie "The Day of the Counteroffensive" has a total investment of nearly $200 million. Hank starring, and it is everyone's favorite alien theme, and the box office will not be too bad if you think about it. Especially in order to please the Chinese audience, three first-class stars in China were also invited...... If there is a disadvantage, it may be that the subject matter is too cliché, and as always, let the Chinese stars play supporting roles, I am afraid that they will be scolded half to death as before.

As for the investment in comedy films, it seems to be the smallest, but as one of the most popular genres of Chinese New Year files, this "Big Day" gathers four first-line comedy stars in China, including Si Jian, who Sun Peng is more familiar with, and is definitely a big cast lineup.

There is also the Western magic movie "The Golden Scepter", which is also liked by a large number of fans.

The only thing that Sun Peng is not very optimistic about is the Chinese historical masterpiece "Xia". Although it is good to choose the angle of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's decisive battle, after all, there will be no shortage of fans of Chu Bawang in any era, but the decline of this genre in the past two years has become more and more obvious, and it can no longer arouse the audience's interest.

The producer may be out of this consideration, and the production cost is said to have been greatly reduced, only 400 million......

"That sounds like we have a good chance!"

After understanding, Sun Peng squinted his eyes and smiled: "The reputation of Hurricane 1 is very good, and I am also very confident in the script of the second part this time, so it seems that it is not impossible to win the championship of the Lunar New Year?" ”

"Haha, I hope so!"

Xue Ligang seemed to be a little less confident in his new movie, and said with a smile: "Compared with China, I am more concerned about the box office in Europe and the United States!" This time, the Forbidden City has put a lot of effort into it, and the box office performance of the first part is also good, so they have to make it to be released in 17 countries on the same day! Although most of them are Southeast Asian countries, they include the big box office of North America, and the number of screens exceeds 2,000, haha! ”

"Yo? That's amazing!! ”

After listening to Lao Xue's words, Sun Peng's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Accustomed to the situation that domestic films in his previous life were quietly released overseas, winning hundreds of thousands or 1.8 million box office, or simply selling out at a fixed price, what excites Sun Peng the most in this life is the international influence and distribution ability of Chinese films. Especially in Asia, the influence of Chinese films is increasing, and even North America has the confidence to be released on a large scale at the same time because of the entry of Chinese capital......

"It would be nice to replicate the success of Kill Bill."

Sighing leisurely, Xue Ligang's eyes were full of envy and expectation when he looked at Sun Peng.

"Haha, is it hard?"

Sun Peng grinned and shook his head slightly. If it weren't for the fact that the theme of Chinese agents could easily arouse the rebellious psychology of Americans, he could almost guarantee that "True Lies" would have surpassed the box office of "Kill Bill", which would definitely be a breeze......

……

The Chinese premiere of "True Lies" was held on the evening of the 27th day of the Lunar New Year.

And within an hour of the premiere, sixteen well-known film critics released the first batch of film reviews – the so-called professional film reviews, of course. In fact, long before their professional reviews were released, fans who attended the premiere had already posted more than 30 short reviews on Weibo and the official account.

It's just that for these amateurs, the so-called short reviews are just some simple exclamations and recommendations.

Therefore, what really has reference significance is the first time comment of those professional film critics, which is the main goal of most people's reference. For example, Lao Bai's fans, the first thing to pay attention to is always Yiye Zhiqiu's film reviews, and only after seeing Yiye Zhiqiu's undisciplined touting, will they completely put their minds at ease.

On his Weibo, Yiye Zhiqiu's movie reviews are very short, and they are simply powerful!

"It's rare to see a movie with a sequel that surpasses the first one, but "Hurricane Rescue 2 - True Lies" is a clear exception, both in terms of plot and scenes, it far exceeds its first ......"
