Chapter Eighty-Eight: It's Yours to Decide
Hasbro is making toys, and back then, in order to sell Transformers toys, he made the "Transformers" animation...
Later, he tinkered with the live-action "Transformers" trilogy, which was a big hit.
Then, with great ambitions to create a cinematic universe, he first recommended "Super Battleship"...
Hasbro, including distributor Paramount, is very happy with "Super Battleship" - otherwise, it would not be released on the same schedule as "The Avengers"!
The cost is as high as $200 million.
It was originally released on April 18th, but this is not "Search", so it will be postponed for two weeks, and it will be released on May 2nd...
According to the prediction of the introducer China Film, the box office of "Super Battleship" should be around 500 million - after all, the "Transformers" series is too fierce...
As for "Avengers", about 300 million...
This prediction is normal, the industry predicts the box office, usually based on historical works, based on the current period and based on the genre...
After all, the Marvel superhero movie, the highest-grossing "Iron Man 2" is only 175 million...
"Thor", "The Incredible Hulk", and "Captain America" did not even exceed 100 million at the box office!
The prediction of 300 million is already overestimated.
Therefore, Chen Xi doesn't quite understand why Shen Xudong is worried about "The Avengers", and rarely mentions "Super Battleship"...
Shen Xudong is not easy to explain...
However, he also thinks that May 1st should be a movie!
Tianmei is the leader in the mainland, on May 1st, five or six domestic films will be released at the same time to fight against Hollywood, as the leader, should we carry forward the style?
The question is... Death!
Today's number of screens is 10,800, and the upper limit of the market is less than 150 million, according to Shen Xudong's prediction, the total box office in May will be 1.8 billion at most...
"Avengers" took 600 million, "Men in Black 3" took 500 million, "Super Battleship" took 300 million...
The rest of the movies were added together and divided into 400 million...
You must know that the movies released in May are not only domestic films, but also many batches of films, such as "Man Wolf War", "Three Musketeers", "Soul Chariot 2"...
It's not just a dead end...
After thinking about it, Shen Xudong asked, "What does the company think?" ”
"The company wants to make a batch of films..."
"What's wrong? said that if you fight against Hollywood, you must use Chinese films... What are the alternatives? ”
"Or, our last restored version of "New Dragon Gate Inn" or the restored version of "Huang Feihong"?"
“… What's the point? If you want to fight, fight well, the other party has a bomb, you say a pair of 3? ”
"You can't take out Ning Hao's "One Shot to the End", right?"
“…”
Shen Xudong glared at her, what are you kidding, "One Shot to the End" is a billion-dollar box office movie, you use PK "Avengers"?
Even if it wins, it's still a pyrrhic victory...
This is a surprise weapon prepared by Shen Xudong for the Chinese New Year...
After pondering for a while, Shen Xudong said: "That's it, the first two Guan Su Lun asked me about the schedule, I estimate that one of their youth film plans should be almost finished, you go to her, let her work overtime to finish the post-production quickly, and then release it!" ”
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Youth films?" ”
"What's wrong with youth films? Youth films are currently the most in line with the needs of mainstream moviegoers, and last year, "The Little Thing of First Love" has proved the potential of this theme..."
“… Okay, I'll ask! ”
"Hmm..." Shen Xudong nodded, ready to continue reading the information, looking up, Chen Xi was still parked in the office...
"What's wrong? Something? ”
"Nazha came to me two days ago... Say you're cold to her... Ask me if it's..."
"!"
Shen Xudong immediately interrupted her: "I haven't contacted her at all, where can I talk about being cold?" ”
“… How do I explain it to her? ”
"Explain what?"
"Explain that you are a ruthless scumbag!"
"What unplug ruthlessly..."
Shen Xudong explained righteously: "The first day you met me... I just don't want to delay the girls in finding true love... I'm sure that I'm definitely not true love myself, so why delay someone's youth? I'm doing it for their good! ”
“… It's a shame you don't go to be an actor... Chen Xi couldn't help but exclaim: "You have such a cheeky skin, it's absolutely okay to give a speech!" ”
"Whoever betrays me, I will give him 1 million, and the person who is loyal to me will be hundreds of millions in the future..."
Chen Xi looked inexplicable: "What? ”
"Forget, there is one more sentence: understand! Applause! ”
“… Neuropathy..."
……
TiMi specially allocated 200 million yuan for the shooting of youth films, and set up four films: "The Year in a Hurry", "Left Ear", "The Best of Us", and "To Youth"...
The heroines must be their own people.
However, it is not these that have been completed, but the movie version of "Why Sheng Xiaomo"!
This movie version follows the actors of the TV series version, the heroine Tang Yan, the male protagonist Zhong Hanliang, and even the second female lead is Wang Likun... It's that the director has been replaced by the Olympic bid...
This movie is a bit of a twist and turn, originally this project should have been approved directly after the TV series version was broadcast, but the copyright of the movie was taken away by Brother Song, and Brother Song wanted to invite Zhang Ziyi to star...
Fortunately, Zhang Ziyi met the triple door...
Oh, Zhang Ziyi and Song Ge are old acquaintances, the original time and space, Brother Song formed Perfect Pictures, and the first investment was given to Zhang Ziyi's "Very Perfect"...
In fact, Brother Song can go to Wanda Pictures as the general manager, and Zhang Ziyi has contributed a lot!
She has a good relationship with a boss named Ding Mingshan, who is a shareholder of Wanda.
Meet new people and don't forget old ones.
Zhang Ziyi, who was familiar with Ding Mingshan at first sight, introduced her old acquaintance Brother Song to join Wanda Film and Television... Therefore, Wanda Film and Television went public, and many people were surprised to find that Zhang Ziyi's mother was actually a shareholder of Wanda Film and Television, holding 18 million original shares, which was worth 1 billion after listing!
Oh, later, after Brother Song found Dajin Zhujun, he didn't forget Zhang Ziyi. Zhang Jun invested 9 billion yuan to set up Houde Qianhai Fund, and Brother Song, as the fund manager, immediately took out the money to help several celebrity friends set up Star VC.
This company is very famous, and the partners are Ren Quan, Li Lianhua, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, and of course, Zhang Ziyi!
Rip it back. Zhang Ziyi met a triple door, Wanda Film and Television was not interested in opening "Why Sheng Xiaomo", until the middle of last year, the company withdrew the film adaptation rights of "Why Sheng Xiaomo"...
Actually, it's quite complicated - in short, now Wanda Film and Television is also one of the producers.
The cost is 35 million, of which the advertising placement is close to 30 million, which means that as long as it is released, it can basically be profitable!
According to the popularity of the TV series "Why Sheng Xiaomo", as long as the movie of the same name does not pull the crotch, it is very simple to break 200 million at the box office...
It's up to you!
However, Tang Yan's agency team is quite depressed - why should it be released on the same schedule as a Hollywood blockbuster?
Shouldn't such a movie be released on Valentine's Day or New Year?
Then Chen Xi said directly: "It's useless, don't look at the schedule with old eyes, let me tell you, no matter which schedule there are Hollywood blockbusters!" ”
