Chapter 1022: Old Friend

In fact, by now, Sun Peng doesn't pay much attention to the box office of the movie.

Because after going through the storm of so many classic works, Sun Peng has figured out one thing, that is, as long as he chooses the right movie, or makes the right transformation of the movie, and adds the right film company, then no matter how mediocre the film reviews are, how crazy the sunspots on the Internet are, the impact on the box office is actually very limited.

Relatively speaking, these mouth cannons are far less important than the competitors in the schedule.

So when Sun Peng determined that the Chinese box office of "Terminator" would not be less than one billion, and the overseas box office should reach more than 50 million US dollars, he no longer paid attention to where the final box office of the film would fall. Because he knew that with Wei Xiaolin's fame, coupled with the level of Gaomu Pictures, it was already a success to have such a number.

At least 200% profit, what more bicycles?

As for "Terminator 2", which Gao Runqing and Wei Xiaolin are most concerned about, Sun Peng said that the production cost is not five or six billion Huaxia coins, and if the publicity and distribution cost is not one billion, he will definitely not consider throwing it out and letting them spoil it. Although by the standards of this era, the whole film of "Terminator 2" will definitely not cost so much money, but ......

It's all in this era, how can you still shoot the effect of the original version of "Terminator 2"?

No, you have to throw money!

And not only does Takagi Pictures need to throw money into it, but Sun Peng will definitely let Wei Xiaolin contact stronger film companies to join, such as the Forbidden City and Lotus. Because only in this way can we ensure that the classic has enough production standards, and there is enough strength to push it to greater success in the future!

As for the present, it's good to accumulate it slowly.

Not only does it need Takagi Pictures and Wei Xiaolin to accumulate more funds and strength, but it also needs the reputation of the first part to slowly grow and ferment. Especially those viewers who haven't kept up with the publicity or are not interested in the main creative lineup of the movie, after they have watched the first part with a relatively novel plot on the Internet, a considerable number of them will become potential fans of the second part, and this will take time to slowly accumulate and precipitate......

For Sun Peng, what matters now is something else.

For example, both domestic and Hollywood are still engaged in the final tug-of-war airport negotiations - the little wizard with Nanhai Pictures at home, and the little magician and "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe" abroad; Another example is the release of Little Magician, and the question of which publishing house "Murder on the Western Express" is published in China and abroad.

Of course, the more important thing is his wife and children......

"Wife, otherwise you won't go to work!"

After driving Zheng Jia to the police station again, Sun Peng said cautiously in the parking lot: "Although your reaction has been a lot lighter recently, your belly is really big!" This is running around every day to get to work......"

"Cut, how can I be so squeamish! Besides, aren't everyone like that? ”

Glancing at Sun Peng, Zheng Jia said angrily.

"Hey......

Scratching his head, Sun Peng was speechless for a while.

In fact, he still thinks too much about himself. When I was a doctor in my last life, not to mention the pregnant women I saw during my internship in the obstetrics and gynecology department, they were female doctors and nurses in their own department, which one didn't go to work with a big belly and persist until the last moment? There are even many people who have to go to work more and more at the end of the day, and they don't want to rest even a day - because in the hospital is actually the safest, and they can be sent to the obstetrics and gynecology department at any time......

It's just that now it's his turn, Sun Peng is a bit hypocritical.

"Alright, let's go back quickly!"

Seeing that Sun Peng had nothing to say, Zheng Jia couldn't help but say happily: "I said that I won't let you send me, if I run into our Director Chen again, maybe I will ask you for a script or something...... Hehe, doesn't that make Mr. Bai feel sorry to death?! ”

"Ahem, where am I distressed?"

Listening to his wife's words, Sun Pengke was a little embarrassed.

However, having said that the series "Die Hard" was thrown out so easily, to be honest, Sun Peng must have regretted it a little, especially when it was thrown to Bian Lin and Tang Long in the end, or Galloping Horse Pictures came to shoot, and there were a few times when Sun Peng really wanted to change it for them......

"Huh? Who's that? ”

At this time, Sun Peng suddenly saw a figure in the distance, and hurriedly pointed: "Ho ho, that's not Lao Wu...... Oh my God, how did he become like this? ”

Originally, he just wanted to change the topic, but after really seeing the person's appearance clearly, Sun Peng was stunned.

"Huh? Hee-hee, it's really Lao Wu! ”

Turning his head to take a look, Zheng Jia was suddenly happy.

After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Sun Peng's mouth began to tremble: "No, why is he fat like this now?" Just like a ball? ”

Forensic doctor Wu Ming, one of Sun Peng's few acquaintances in the police station.

Sun Peng remembered that when he saw this guy a few years ago, although he was indeed very fat, at least ...... How so? At least he still looks like a normal person, it's nothing more than a bigger belly, thicker thighs and arms, and a fatter face...... To put it bluntly, it's just a little like Sun Peng in his previous life.

But now......

"I'm a! This, this is at least 300 catties, right? ”

After rubbing his eyes desperately, Sun Peng couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

Shrugging his shoulders, Zheng Jia smiled: "Well, it should be about the same." Anyway, I have the impression that he has been gaining weight all the time, especially in the past two years, I don't know if it's because the work pressure is too much or the food is too good, anyway, it's like blowing up a balloon...... Hey, aren't you coming home yet? ”

Seeing that Sun Peng seemed to want to go over to say hello, Zheng Jia was a little surprised.

"No, it's okay to go back today anyway."

Finally met an acquaintance, Sun Peng on a whim, and began to wave at Wu Ming from afar: "Old Wu! Angkor! Here, here......"

“……”

Seeing Sun Peng happily waving and shouting, Zheng Jia instantly felt a sense of shame, if it wasn't for the child in her belly, she just wanted to rush into the office building quickly - it was the peak of work at this time, and many people had just arrived at the parking lot, and they couldn't help but look over when they heard Sun Peng's shouting......

"Ouch Angkor, long time no see!"

Sun Peng didn't have any shame consciousness, and when Wu Ming, who was surprised, approached, he gave him a warm hug.

I was inexplicably happy to see an old friend.

Or it's not inexplicable, but because in the past two years, with Sun Peng's growing fame and status, it has been difficult to meet that kind of sincere friend. Even if it was Chen Feifei and Luo Cheng, if it weren't for the early cooperation, maybe they wouldn't have the relationship they have now.

So seeing Wu Ming, Sun Peng was quite happy.

It's just that what Sun Peng didn't expect was that after giving him a suffocating bear hug, Wu Ming's first sentence was to ask: "I said Dapeng, when will you write a few more episodes of "Criminal Minds"?" It's so boring for me to be a consultant or something......"
