Chapter Ninety-Three: Another Miracle
Five Tiger Generals series, and even Wei has five good generals, four heroes of Eastern Wu...
Including Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao can all make solo movies.
Unite all the characters through a few more wars!
What is it called?
Cinematic universe!
The question is... It's too much work...
There are not so many suitable directors, and there are not so many suitable actors, the most important thing is that the cost of costume war films is too high, and it is easy to lose hundreds of millions...
[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]
So, don't take too many steps, take your time, shoot a sequel first, and if the response is still good, then shoot "Guan Yunchang"...
Then "Dingjun Mountain" led to Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang...
""Zhao Zilong" is a play, our company has benefited at least 60 million, and China Film has made a lot of money... Still blockbusters have a future! ”
"My advice is not to be impatient, after all, the cost is here... In this way, you can talk to Andy Lau about the sequel first..."
"Salary... Anyway, at most 20 million, it's impossible to give more..."
"To be divided into... A maximum of 10% will be shared, and if you want to share, the salary will have to be reduced..."
"In addition, he also has a film and television company, if his company wants to co-produce... You can give 10% of the investment amount, remember, don't let him take over other Three Kingdoms-themed films..."
At this time, if the entire "Seeing the Dragon Unloads the Armor", the reputation created by "Zhao Zilong" will immediately disappear.
Also the Three Kingdoms Cinematic Universe?
Gao Fenfen also understands - follow the trend!
Back then, Li Lianlian starred in Huang Feihong, giving this IP a new lease of life, and then a bunch of followers - 1993 was a veritable "Year of Huang Feihong". There are more than 140 Hong Kong-made movies in theaters throughout the year, more than 30 martial arts films, and Wong Fei Hung martial arts films account for 7 films, most of which have lost their money.
"Zhao Zilong" is a hot seller, and with the temperament of Hong Kong filmmakers, it is predictable that several films will follow the genre.
Copyright?
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be filmed by anyone, how can there be any copyright disputes?
……
"Juno" was screened at the end of January - the Sundance Film Festival received a good response, of course, did not win an award...
The award was won by a movie called "Our Father", which is a very independent film, but it means that I can't understand it...
However, this response is enough for "Juno"!
Beginning on January 27, it was screened on a small scale in seven theaters, and it received $720,000 at the box office in the first week of release, and later increased to 40 theaters participating in the screening, reaching $2.25 million at the box office that week.
By the time the film was officially expanded on February 12, it had been scheduled in more than 1,600 theaters, and the box office exceeded $20 million in the first week of release.
Then, the word-of-mouth of the film began to spread massively.
The film critics are very friendly to "Juno" - a low-budget feature film with a good degree of completion, of course, it should be encouraged!
"A script that is perfect in all its meanings and angles: the beginning is a typical motivational event, during which it is embedded with unfolding, foreshadowing, and clearing, and the sequence of high-tide is methodical, constantly building and reversing, and the small high-tide accumulates into the final climax. At the end of the film, the foreshadowing is revealed, and each character has comprehended some direct truth and reached a new level. This kind of little story is never tired of reading. “
"The degree of completion is quite high, whether it is in the plot or in some editing, it can be seen that the director has his own set of methods and philosophies, and the techniques and routines are innovative, which makes people very comfortable and warm. This is the dignity of low-budget films. “
As for the audience, the comments were more direct: Juno is so cool!
Not only did she dare to get pregnant at the age of 16, but she also gave birth bravely, which is different from those ordinary girls.
The subject matter is bold, and the shooting angle is completely different, showing the feeling of a girl who is unexpectedly pregnant, but bravely takes responsibility.
So, a very strange situation happened, "Juno" set off a craze for movie-watching among young people.
Word-of-mouth or something, to be honest, English films, Shen Xudong doesn't care, and producer Joseph Drake probably doesn't care either...
After the movie is released, all everyone cares about is data!
Data... Of course, it is very good, in the second week of the release, the scale was expanded again - more than 2,500 theaters released "Juno", and the box office exceeded 30 million in a single week...
As of February 27, "Juno" has been in theaters for three weeks, winning $72 million at the box office, and the momentum is unabated...
At the same time, after discussions with Joseph Drake, the overseas rights of "Juno" were sold to 20th Century Fox for $45 million...
After all, Joseph Drake has no overseas distribution ability, and Shen Xudong is too lazy to find a distribution company, yes, with the market response of "Juno", the overseas income is definitely more than 45 million, but Twentieth Century Fox settles all the payments at once.
No need to wait for the payment to be returned.
Very good!
……
Domestic... The film industry is almost in a frenzy.
"Zhao Zilong" broke 200 million, the box office in Asia was close to 450 million yuan (South Korea and Japan have not yet been released), and "Juno" broke 70 million US dollars in North America...
The producers and producers of these two movies are Shen Xudong!
The cost of the former is announced to be $40 million, which is a small profit, and the cost of the latter is $27 million (one more than 2)...
Earn over!
Gao Fenfen, Chen Xi won't talk about it, Zhong Lifang... Even Zhao Linhai and them have endured all kinds of phone bombardment...
In China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, some brokerage companies are all in the doorway, today's dinner, tomorrow's cocktail party, the day after tomorrow's golf, I want to talk to Shen Xudong through them...
Even several film and television studios such as China Film, Shanghai Film and West Film have the idea of cooperation...
Shen Xudong... Under the pretext of rushing for awards and participating in the Oscars and casting for new films, Lai did not go back in the United States.
But it was also revealed that the new film "The Fault in the Stars" costs $60 million, and those who have ideas can invest money...
Well, this time it went straight five times more - the cost was up to $10 million.
With his current fame, there is no need to take the money to make a movie himself...
Oh, and the Osayska nominations have been announced, and "Carol" has won six nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Score, and Best Costume Design...
Looking at the list of nominees alone, "Carol" is definitely not the top player, after all, neither of the two heavyweight nominations for Best Director and Best Picture has been given.
But for Gong Li, she has already made history — the first Asian actress to be nominated for an Oscar.
Regardless of whether she wins the award or not, she can already be written into film history.
She already has the meaning of blind worship of Shen Xudong - she really got the nomination, and she made two small-budget movies in a row!
If "Human Removal Plan" can still use bloody + violent genre films, and American audiences love to watch this to shirk it, then "Juno"...
An old-fashioned theme of early love and early pregnancy can also play flowers?
Shen Xudong explained: "I just think that the theme of early love and early pregnancy is funny... However, most of these movie children fail to give birth, and I want to do the opposite... Give birth to the child! ”
"It's that simple?"
"Simple?" Shen Xudong shook his head: "The opposite way needs to be persuaded by the public, not to mention such a big thing as early love and childbirth, I finished writing the outline and found no less than ten screenwriters to complete the plot!" ”
