June 3, 10 a.m.

Just when Gao Fei was busy preparing for "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "The Wandering Earth" was finally released.

It is said that after the release plan of this year's summer file Zhou Yi Film and Television was announced, many colleagues in the circle were really relieved.

After all, Zhou Yi's momentum last year was indeed a bit too terrifying.

The summer schedule lasted for a total of three months, and as a result, Zhou Yi's family launched four blockbusters.

From the beginning of "Wolf Warrior" and "One Man's Martial Arts", to the second half of "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Flash Girl".

At almost any point in time in any summer file, everyone will inevitably match up with Zhou Yi Movie.

However, even if there is more, the quality is still so good, which makes many peers crazy.

You must know that among these four movies, "Flash Girl", which has the lowest box office, has a box office of 480 million.

But even so, the results of "Flash Girl" still surpassed most of the movies in the summer file.

Therefore, after seeing last year's summer file, Zhou Yi Film and Television won more than 3 billion yuan, many domestic film and television companies are actually a little worried this year.

"Fortunately, Goofy still has a bit of humanity after all!"

After learning about this year's summer schedule, a certain director couldn't help but sigh in private.

Because compared with last year, this year's Zhou Yi's summer offensive is simply gentle.

Although there is a science fiction film that is said to have a huge investment.

But after hearing the term domestic sci-fi films, many insiders subconsciously didn't take it seriously.

Even compared with "The Wandering Earth", they pay more attention to "Big Fish and Begonia".

After all, last year's feat of "The Return of the Great Sage" won nearly one billion box office, and they still remember it vividly!

However, the schedule of "Big Fish and Begonia" was set in the second half of the summer file.

So as the curtain of the summer file war opened, the major filmmakers who thought that they did not have Zhou Yi to stir up the situation were very happy.

Honestly, Goofy is actually the same as they think.

Although after watching "The Wandering Earth", Gao Fei also thought that the movie was very good, but he didn't dare to have too many expectations.

Because domestic sci-fi films are too miserable in China, Gao Fei's best prediction for "The Wandering Earth" is to make a small profit and open up a new movie theme for Zhou Yi.

After all, with the cost of more than 300 million yuan in "The Wandering Earth", only movies with a box office of more than one billion will return to their original cost.

Therefore, Goofy's prediction is actually quite bold.

At least one of the other filmmakers in the current summer file is considered one, and I am afraid that they will not believe that a domestic sci-fi film can get a box office of one billion!

Because of this, Gao Fei only attended the roadshow in Beijing on the first day of "The Wandering Earth", and then turned around to work on "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

But what he didn't expect was that "The Wandering Earth" gave him a big surprise.

At the same time, it also gave all Chinese filmmakers a big shock!

The box office on the first day was 190 million, and the box office in the first week was 1.631 billion, which directly beat "Notes on Tomb Robbery", "Legend of the Gods", and "A Smile is Alluring".

Their propaganda war is being lively, but they didn't expect to be killed by a domestic sci-fi film that they didn't pay attention to before, and they were crushed without resistance!

Whether it is "Tomb Robbery Notes" and "Weiwei", which take the route of small fresh meat and traffic;

still invested 500 million in Hua Qiang, and invited a big-name star to shoot "The Rise of the Legend of the Gods".

This time, in front of "The Wandering Earth", they were all slapped away like flies.

Such a situation makes these three filmmakers very incomprehensible! Very incomprehensible!

If you want to break your head, they didn't expect such a show!

Of course, let alone them, even Goofy didn't expect such a scene!

After all, his highest-grossing movie before this time did not have 1.6 billion.

But "The Wandering Earth" only took a week to do it.

The most outrageous thing is that since the beginning of this movie, word of mouth has been skyrocketing.

From the audience's distrust and disparagement of domestic sci-fi films at the beginning, to the direct rise of the Douban score to 8.4, it is actually a matter of two or three days!

Gao Fei can swear that this time it is really not Zhou Yi's handiwork.

After all, Zhou Yi's control and review style in the early days of the release of previous movies was mainly defensive.

I have never boasted to death as soon as I came up, because it was too fake.

But this time, this outrageous thing happened.

It's no wonder that many peers in the circle wonder if Zhou Yi's water army is slamming praise!

If he had changed to Goofy, he would probably think the same way!

It's just that outsiders guess or suspect it, Zhou Yi's own affairs are naturally clearer than anyone else.

Therefore, after being shocked and speechless for a while, Zhouyi's internal statistics team quickly re-established the model.

Finally, according to the word-of-mouth feedback of "The Wandering Earth" and the current box office trend, they quickly readjusted their box office estimates!

……

"How much?"

In the office, I saw Gao Fei looking at Han Li with an excited look in his hand.

Seeing this situation, Han Li also replied with a smile on her face:

"The current conservative estimate of the statistics team is 2.5 billion, but if there are no accidents in the future, it should not be worse than "The Mermaid" at the beginning of the year!"

Hearing this, the corners of Gao Fei's mouth suddenly couldn't stop rising, and he laughed proudly.

You must know that the box office of Zhou Xingxing's "Mermaid" at the beginning of the year was 3.392 billion.

And "Mermaid" is also the current box office champion of Chinese movies!

When the movie was offline, Yang Mi was so excited that he pestered Gao Fei for three days before he could recover his strength.

After all, Yang Mi didn't expect "The Mermaid" to have such a high box office.

And Gao Fei also knew what it meant to be "only tired cows, no ploughed fields" because of Yang Mi's three days of madness!

It's just that "The Mermaid" is a big hit, and Goofy is happy.

But after all, it is Zhou Xingxing's work, and the increase in Zhou Yi's stock price is not large, because Zhou Xingxing and Zhou Yi are not bound.

But this time the situation is different, every shot of "The Wandering Earth" is full of Zhou Yi's breath.

So once "The Wandering Earth" is really like "The Mermaid", then Gao Fei can already foresee how crazy his company's stock price will be!

After all, replicable success will always impress people more than luck!

But then again, it's too early to say this, and the most important thing at the moment is not to let "The Wandering Earth" have an accident.

Based on this, Gao Fei even put down the preparations for "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and personally escorted the movie.

Interviews, publicity, and so on, all of which were arranged.

As for word-of-mouth maintenance, that's even more important.

Don't look at Zhou Yi is now a well-deserved overlord in the domestic film and television industry, but others will still not be soft when they splash black water.

There's an old saying:

Blocking people's money is like killing parents!

This statement actually applies to any industry.

Because some people really dare to kill people in order to make money, then the fear that Zhou Yi brings to them is even less significant.

Not to mention that this summer file still has the old Jianghu of Xiangjia.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi has not been in vain over the years, whether it is the sparring of real swords and guns, or the number of crooked ways, they have seen and dealt with them.

Therefore, under Zhou Yi's full response, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" continued to rise, and the reputation has been strong.

During this period, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" has seen six box office reversals, and the high reputation is one of the main reasons.

And at this point, "The Wandering Earth" has actually become a general trend.

Therefore, Gao Fei, who was in a happy mood, even invited the director of "The Wandering Earth" and Zhou Yi's big names to go to his "leisure garden" that had just been built to cool off.

Not to mention how envious this group of people were after seeing Goofy's new garden.

After some pastime, everyone who sat in the lake pavilion with a comfortable face chatted and chatted, and naturally they couldn't help but go around to the topic of "The Wandering Earth" again.

……

"Lao Guo, is your body still able to eat? Why don't you prepare a sequel now! ”

It's not that Goofy is in a hurry, it's that the preparation period for sci-fi films is too long.

Especially when there are no successful cases in China to learn from, almost every step has to be explored by itself.

So even if Zhou Yi asks for money and people, "The Wandering Earth 2" will not be able to come out in two or three years.

As soon as Gao Fei's words came out, Guo Fan immediately sat up excitedly and responded repeatedly.

You must know that he has been waiting for this day for a long time, and as long as he can make science fiction movies, it is already the best rest.

When the other people in the water pavilion heard this, they couldn't help but discuss it with great interest.

"Boss, why don't we stuff a few more Hollywood actors into the sequel?"

Without waiting for Guo Fan to speak, Han Li took the lead in making a suggestion.

Hearing this, the fishing rod in Gao Fei's hand didn't even move, so he smiled casually:

"What? Got your eye on the North American box office market? ”

"Well~ Otherwise?"

Han Li's answer was direct!

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei frowned slightly and muttered for a while, but nodded slightly and said:

"Tsk~ It's okay, anyway, there are a lot of white actors in the first part...... But it's hard to find people! ”

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Ning Hao couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Is this hard?"

But without waiting for Gao Fei to answer, Han Li directly objected to Gao Fei's opinion.

"I don't think there's a problem, right?"

"After all, if nothing else, the final box office of "The Wandering Earth" should be more than 500 million US dollars."

"Do you know what it means to have a sequel to a $500 million sci-fi movie at the box office? It means success! ”

"Don't look at Hollywood movies, the global box office is hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, but the gold content of a resume with a box office of 500 million US dollars still makes many actors break their heads!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the water pavilion couldn't help but bow slightly, quite agreeable.

But Guo Fan thought about it, but he still couldn't help but hesitate a little:

"But the script for the second part has been decided, although there are white characters, but those foreigners are just playing soy sauce."

"The role is not important, and there are not many scenes, can you find a suitable one?"

I have to say that Guo Fan's question is really to the point.

Ning Hao also agreed:

"Definitely! If you find a newcomer, you won't be famous, and it's useless to find it, so it's better not to look for it. ”

You must know that domestic white actors are much cheaper than Hollywood actors.

However, after hearing this, Han Li chuckled unappreliably:

"It's not that troublesome, and it's not at the level of an Oscar actor or actress."

"We want the popularity of actors, not qualifications and acting skills."

"So like the idol singers who have risen in the United States in recent years, these people who are not treated well by the mainstream film circles in the United States are just right for us."

"Besides, there aren't enough scenes, why don't you just get a North American special version when the time comes?"

I have to say that Han Li's words are simply to the point.

After all, not all singers can smoothly transition from movie star to movie star like Will Smith.

But with his successful precedent in the past, the followers are endless after all!

It's just that as soon as Han Li's words fell, Gao Fei couldn't help but chuckle strangely.

"Hey~ How can this method become more and more familiar the more you talk about it?"

Ning Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard this:

"Hahaha~ I kind of understand what those Hollywood blockbusters used to think!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, and even Han Li herself couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

Well, coincidence, this must be a coincidence!

……

When it comes to doing it, it has always been Zhou Yi's style!

"The Wandering Earth" has not yet been offline, and under Zhou Yi's control, the second part has begun an all-round upgrade.

For example, movie sponsorship, Pepsi and Very, took the initiative to come to the door, and then KFC and Pizza Hut also came.

The domestic yellow stewed chicken wants to join in the fun, but the brand is too scattered, and no one wants to suffer.

So in the end, only the cyberpunk version of Pepsi and the apocalyptic version of KFC were left.

Of course, there are other sponsors in addition to this.

And these bits and pieces of sponsorship costs add up, and there is a small 200 million.

After learning the news, director Zhou Yi immediately understood why Hollywood blockbusters such as "Fast and Furious" and "Transformers" kept filming sequels one after another, it turned out to be the case.

You must know that the box office risk of the blockbuster sequel itself is low, and advertising sponsorship can cover a small half of the cost.

In this way, the movie has really become a high-reward and low-risk business, which is really cool, and anyone who changes it is estimated that it will be bad.

Therefore, in terms of advertising sponsorship, the "Wandering Earth" series still has room for improvement.

By the way, about the white little fresh meat in the sequel, Han Li also negotiated here:

Sean Mondez, a singer born in Gama but super popular in the United States!

This North American little fresh meat can't help but look super good, and his debut at a young age is often compared to a new generation of Justin Bieber by rice netizens, with 37 million fans on ins, becoming the super new generation male singer with the highest attention in the United States at present.

And people can't help but be handsome, and their professional achievements are also very good.

At the age of 20, he has already created 3 studio albums, and all three albums have landed at the top of the Billboard album chart.

Of course, the most important thing is that this little fresh meat is not an artist who only wants to develop in the music industry.

As early as the second year of his debut, Sean Mendez participated in the filming of the first season of the American drama "Hundred Sons of the Earth".

It can be said that it perfectly meets Han Li's selection requirements.

As for the olive branch thrown by Zhou Yi, Sean first cautiously confirmed it.

After all, there is no shortage of invitations to such a popular little fresh meat.

Many independent films and art films that want to cut leeks or simply want to gain fame have approached him.

But Sean naturally doesn't want to squeeze his potential to make money for others, so he wants to enter the mainstream film industry.

And this invitation to "The Wandering Earth 2" is a perfect opportunity for him.

So after confirming that the information was correct, the young Sean flew over overnight with his agent to sign the contract.

Although there are not many scenes in the movie, as Han Li said, he needs a good resume at the moment to be the introduction.

In addition, science fiction films are the mainstream theme in North America, and Sean is satisfied with how he watches "The Wandering Earth 2".

Before leaving, I bought an English version to take home, ready to study it.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei simply invited him to write an English theme song for "The Wandering Earth 2".

After all, the big fat sheep sent to the door is not white.

The main thing is that the big fat sheep themselves are quite happy......
