"How?"

Then, on the topic of Zhou Xingxing, Lu Ping'an expressed his doubts.

Zhou Xingxing then talked about the movie "Jump Out".

This movie is produced by Zhou Xingxing, directed by Feng Delun, the female protagonist is also Zhang Yuqi, and the male protagonist is Guanxi.

Originally, this movie was used to further praise Zhang Yuqi, and it is said to be tailor-made.

But I don't want to, Guanxi has an accident at this juncture.

"It may have to be remade."

Zhou Xingxing made a judgment, or rather, he had already made a decision in his heart, regardless of whether Guanxi could keep it next.

And in the case of remakes, it is a matter of money.

The total box office of "Jump Out" in the original time and space was only a few million, and the movie suffered a huge loss of tens of millions.

Lu Ping'an didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Is there anyone who needs help?" ”

Zhou Xingxing smiled and waved his hand: "It's not necessary, Colombia will pay." ”

Lu Ping'an continued: "Then let's cooperate in the next one." ”

Zhou Xingxing didn't hide it after hearing this, and asked directly: "Ping An, what do you think about the theme of Journey to the West?" ”

Lu Ping'an's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhou Xingxing took the initiative to mention the theme of Journey to the West, isn't that "Journey to the West".

In the original time and space, "Journey to the West" is the result of the cooperation between Zhou Xingxing and Huayi, which won more than 1.2 billion box office in 13 years and opened the Spring Festival stalls in the mainland in one fell swoop.

It's just that the two sides soon had a dividend incident.

"If the box office exceeds 500 million, an additional dividend of 80 million will be given to Zhou Xingxing."

But this sentence was not signed in the agreement, it was sent to Zhou Xingxing by email, and it was called a gentleman's agreement.

Since both parties have known each other for many years, they made a verbal agreement.

Later, the movie reached a box office of 1.2 billion, and Zhou Xingxing called Huayi's brother Xiao Wang.

Zhou Xingxing mentioned this, but Xiao Wang ignored him, and in the end, Xiao Wang, who had nothing to say, simply tore his face, and refused Zhou Xingxing's request on the grounds that he did not have a signature, and also ridiculed Zhou Xingxing for "not understanding movies at all".

So Zhou Xingxing won a series of high-grossing films later, and Huayi never had a chance again.

It's good now.

There is a safe road, and Huayi can save jokes.

"Journey to the West, I've always wanted to do it."

Lu Ping'an then chatted with Zhou Xingxing for a half-hour journey to the west.

Lu Ping'an finally said: "You have to do it, it doesn't matter how much money you have." ”

Zhou Xingxing was very happy, obviously the matter had basically been won.

And things can go so smoothly, naturally not based on friendship or anything.

The main thing is to calculate the money thing clearly.

Zhou Xingxing values this the most.

In this regard, Lu Ping'an and Zhou Xingxing have had several pleasant cooperations.

The 3D cooperation of "Kung Fu" is very profitable.

The cinema chain has never delayed the division of accounts.

On the other hand, Huayi is on the other hand.

In fact, Huayi has done a good job, but this matter is afraid of comparison.

Compared with Xingchen, Huayi seems to be a little childish.

The payment will always be delayed for a while, and things will always be mixed with favors and so on.

This approach may be fine for others, but Zhou Xingxing doesn't like this style very much.

So Lu Ping'an is very much to his liking.

Xingchen is a big company, and it does what a big company should be.

Things belong to things, favors belong to favors, and the sense of boundaries is well grasped.

The current "Yangtze River No. 7" has introduced star investment and special effects cooperation for this reason.

Of course, in addition to money, professionalism is also something that Zhou Xingxing values very much.

And now it seems that Xingchen also shows the rare style of a large company in mainland companies.

For example, the publicity and distribution of "Yangtze River No. 7", peripheral cooperation and other details.

The publicity and distribution of the original space-time "Yangtze River No. 7" was not in place, and the surrounding aspects only followed later.

And now since Xingchen reached a cooperation in the first half of the year, plans such as publicity and peripheral distribution have been given, and they have done a great job.

So now "Yangtze River No. 7" has directly become the "most anticipated blockbuster at the end of the year" in the film market.

In the surrounding market, the movie has not yet been released, and the sales of related products of "Qizai" have also begun to take off.

It's no wonder that his "Kung Fu Panda" can do so well.

There are a lot of talented people in Xingchen Company!

is so professional, and the money aspect is Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, Zhou Xingxing is of course willing to cooperate further.

This is also the reason why in Zhang Yuqi's view, Zhou Xingxing's attitude towards Lu Ping'an is very different from Huayi.

But he also said: "At the moment I'm talking to Columbia about a new movie, maybe it will start shooting next year, and our film may have to be put on the back burner." ”

Lu Ping'an probably knew what the new project was.

It should be "The Green Hornet".

This is Zhou Xingxing's second attempt to enter Hollywood.

It's a pity that the project was not negotiated in the end.

Zhou Xingxing wanted to change the protagonist from neon people to Chinese and promote Chinese culture, but Colombia did not agree, and the cooperation eventually fell through.

From this point of view, Zhou Xingxing's temper is quite to his taste.

"It's okay, it's still early anyway, when you have an idea, communicate at any time."

The matter was settled, and then everyone chatted for a while, and then set off for the premiere of "Yangtze River No. 7".

The scale of this premiere is huge, although it is not as good as the earlier "Ambush on All Sides" and the like.

But how to say it, it is also the most gorgeous premiere of Zhou Xingxing's movie.

In the end, "Yangtze River No. 7" completed its premiere with applause.

The next thing is to look at the box office performance.

At present, "Casting Names" on the market has won 320 million yuan, and the box office of "Assembly Number" has reached 360 million.

It's a pity that because of the snow disaster and piracy, it is difficult to break 400 million.

Everyone also thinks that "Yangtze River No. 7" will definitely not be able to break 400 million.

Because of the snow disaster, and the reason why it will be the Spring Festival stall in a few days.

What can you do with the big cool file?

In this regard, Lu Ping'an has some hope.

On the one hand, the original time and space "Yangtze River No. 7" caused "poor box office" due to publicity and other problems.

But even if the box office is not good, it is a full 203 million! And the original time and space was also released at this time, and it also encountered the Spring Festival.

And the reason why the box office did not work at the beginning and then rose against the trend is that word of mouth accounts for a large part.

In addition, the Spring Festival stall is said to be a cool stall.

But since last year's "Bucket List", Lu Ping'an has already sensed the smell.

Last year, "Bucket List" exploded, and the box office rose against the trend during the Spring Festival.

So much so that many theaters regretted closing their doors during the Spring Festival and failed to catch up with that batch.

This year, Lu Ping'an's cinemas will still not be closed, and it is estimated that many other cinemas will follow suit.

Therefore, it may be difficult for "Yangtze River No. 7" to completely ignite the Spring Festival stalls, but there will definitely be surprises at the box office.

Of course, whether the box office breaks 400 million, or how high, for Lu Ping'an, there are not many benefits at the film level.

Xingchen only accounted for 3% of the investment in "Yangtze River No. 7", plus 15% of the distribution profit, and at most the income of a movie theater.

In contrast, Lu Ping'an actually pays more attention to the surrounding market.

The peripherals of the original space-time "Qizai" are selling very well.

According to the statistics of the original time and space, the time was extended to the next two years, and the profits of peripheral derivatives exceeded the profits of movies.

At first, Zhou Xingxing himself didn't realize this.

And there are not many works that can have derivatives in China.

Lu Ping'an like Xiyangyang can't interfere for the time being.

Qizai has become one of the domestic star toys in the first ten years of the 21st century.

Therefore, in this cooperation, Lu Ping An also added the terms of peripheral derivatives authorization.

If the box office exceeds 300 million, 350 million and 400 million, the authorization ratio and years will be very different.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Ping'an attaches so much importance to the cooperation of "Yangtze River No. 7".

In short, this wave is a sentence, Xingzi and Qizai have to come to the bowl of Xingchen! (End of chapter)
