Chapter 435: "Kung Fu" is here!

When Wang Mo's heart was surging.

Yuan Xiong earnestly advised: "Amer, do you still have any ideas for short fairy tales next?" ”

Wang Mo retracted his mind and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Yuan Xiong said: "My suggestion is to slow down, I don't know if you have more exquisite fairy tales, but even if you have, don't release them now." Because those fairy tales you released before are enough for the market to digest for a year or two. If you come up with more works, you won't be able to produce greater benefits, so it's better to publish them after a while. ”

Wang Mo nodded, deeply convinced.

There is tension and relaxation, which is the long-term solution.

Yuan Xiong continued: "Moreover, in fact, the revenue generated by fairy tales is only a very small part of the entire children's market. Because it is now an Internet society, children read fairy tale books less and less. ”

Hearing this, Wang Mo asked curiously, "What is the biggest benefit for children?" ”

"In addition to all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

First, the game!

Second, cartoons!

Thirdly, anime!

Fourth, all kinds of peripheral toys"

Yuan Xiong stretched out four fingers and said one by one.

"In fact, apart from women's money, children's money is the best money."

Yuan Xiong uttered a wise saying.

Wang Mo also thought so, he remembered that in his previous life, with an egg boy party, he made an unknown number of children addicted to it, and even bankrupted many families.

However, it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a game.

To be a man, you must have a bottom line!

Yuan Xiong also thought of this: "Let's not involve the game, it is a spiritual poison for children, let's not do this immoral thing." As for peripheral toys, we don't have relevant IPs yet, and we can't do it. But animation and animation are the company's next key industries. Especially cartoons, children nowadays, eight out of ten are watching cartoons. So if you can develop a cartoon that children will love, the market will be amazing. ”

"I understand."

Wang Mo smiled slightly.

Can it not be big?

Just by virtue of the fact that the series of movies in "Bear Infested" can accumulate a box office of more than 6 billion, it already speaks for itself.

Yuan Xiong looked at Wang Mo and said seriously: "So my suggestion is: If Ah Mo has an interest in writing fairy tales, you can continue to write in the future." But if the interest is not strong, just for the sake of profit. I suggest you think about cartoons. Because since you have such a brilliant imagination in fairy tales, if you try to plan an animated film, you should be able to attract children. ”

Cartoon?

Wang Mo's heart moved slightly.

Yuan Xiong's suggestion seems to be very good.

For example, if I take out "Bear Infested", I am afraid that I will be able to create a market value of tens of billions with it.

It's horrible.

Thinking of this, Wang Mo nodded: "No problem, when I have a chance in the future, I will try children's animation." ”

Wang Mo's attempt and Yuan Xiong's attempt have two meanings.

……

Yuan Xiong did not leave immediately, but said: ""Jingwu Heroes 2" has been released. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Mo nodded, indicating that he knew.

During this year's National Day, "Jingwu Heroes 2" was finally put on the screen.

This time, Hao Mingxing is still the protagonist, but Wang Mo did not become a screenwriter, and Chai Qing did not continue to be a director. This movie, produced by Yunhai Media, won a box office of 2.8 billion yuan in the seven days of the National Day, and it is still in theaters.

Wang Mo also took an opportunity to charter a place to watch it.

Very good!

In fact, the plot is average, mainly about Chen Zhen going to the Northeast and fighting devils with the local people and several heirs of martial arts families. The core main line is for Chen Zhen to hunt down a certain devil high-ranking official. And the high-ranking official was protected by the three martial arts masters of the three great fighting levels, and Chen Zhen used the Lost Trace Fist to kill the opponent one by one, and then successfully obtained the head of the high-ranking official.

It also involves a bloody love story.

But the flaws are not hidden.

Because of Hao Mingxing's superb kung fu in the movie, he once again reproduced the style of "Jingwu Heroes 1", making the whole movie a classic again.

"It's another kung fu blockbuster."

"Although the fight is slightly inferior to the first part, it is still exciting."

"The box office of 3.5 billion can't be stopped."

"Hao Mingxing has completely become a Chinese kung fu superstar."

"According to this momentum, "Jingwu Heroes" is estimated to become a series of kung fu films, with a cumulative box office of more than 10 billion."

It can be seen from this that the strength of the screenwriter and director is very good.

In fact, Wang Mo didn't expect the box office of "Jingwu Heroes 2" to be so fierce.

Thinking about it, the 500 million sale of copyrights was indeed a bit less, but he didn't regret it. Anyway, if you hold the copyright in your hands, it is difficult to make a decent movie. It's better to let it shine to the fullest under the company's operation, as it is now. And I am also a shareholder of the company, the company makes money, and I can also receive a lot of profits lying down, why not?

Especially when the senior management saw that the box office of "Jingwu Heroes 2" was so eye-catching, they were even more admired and grateful to Wang Mo.

Wang Mo, this kid, is reliable!

Under the huge benefits, the board of directors once again rewarded Wang Mo with a part of the shares.

So far, Wang Mo's equity in Yunhai Media has reached 2.8%.

Of course, this is only temporary.

According to Yuan Xiong's words, according to the performance of the new department this year, plus Wang Mo's several fairy tales, they shined. It is estimated that at the end of the year, when the merit is rewarded, Wang Mo's equity will reach a minimum of more than 3.5%.

3.5%!

This shareholding ratio in Yunhai Media is enough to make him the second largest individual shareholder.

In particular, there is one thing that has won unanimous praise from the board of directors.

That's Kung Fu!

After Wang Mo started filming "Kung Fu", he listened to Yuan Xiong's opinion, and he personally only invested 40%, and the other 60% of the investment share was all released.

Money has to be earned together to form a larger network.

In this society, if it takes all its interests into its arms, the consequence can only be besieged by the masses, and then end up in a desolate end.

Holding together for warmth is a win-win situation.

In the end, Yunhai Media invested 30%, and Xu Mengqi Company invested 10%. And Yunhai Media used 20% of the investment as a favor and distributed it to several partners with good relations in the industry.

In the end, there was still 1% of the shares, which Wang Mo distributed to the majority of fans, and was instantly snatched up.

For everyone, Wang Mo's new movie "Kung Fu" looks a little unclear and nondescript. But out of trust in him, everyone still did not hesitate to participate in the investment.

Speaking of Kung Fu.

Yuan Xiong said: "Amer, it's already November, and the later stage of "Kung Fu" has almost been produced. When are you going to release it? ”

Wang Mo thought for a while: "New Year's Day." ”

Originally, he was going to release it during the Spring Festival, but there are still many months left during the Spring Festival, and there will be a bunch of big-budget movies to be released during the Spring Festival. Although Wang Mo feels that "Kung Fu" is not afraid of any movie, there is no need to join in the fun.

New Year's Day, just as good.

Yuan Xiong nodded: "Well, New Year's Day is good." Then I'm going to prepare for the release of the movie. Roadshows and publicity, just let Fu Hong be responsible. ”

"No problem."

Wang Mo nodded.

Next, he should be busy.

Regarding the determination of the feature film of "Kung Fu", the production of some soundtracks and theme songs, roadshows, and publicity ...... And so on, all of them need him to check personally.

This is also the reason why Wang Mo just said that he would try cartoons in the future, because he couldn't spare time at all in the future.

When Yuan Xiong was about to leave.

Wang Mo suddenly remembered a question: "That's right, Brother Xiong." How much money did you invest in Kung Fu? ”

In Wang Mo's mind, Yuan Xiong has been in charge of "Kung Fu", coupled with Yuan Xiong's personality of liking investment, he should be close to the water and invest a lot of money.

In fact, Wang Mo handed over all the "Kung Fu" matters to Wang Mo to be responsible, in addition to trusting Yuan Xiong, he also had the psychology of making up for the other party.

After all, in the past few years, Yuan Xiong has lost all his pants every time he invests, and he is extremely unlucky.

So Wang Mo wanted to use the movie of "Kung Fu" this time to let Yuan Xiong get some blood back.

However...... Unexpectedly, after Yuan Xiong heard it, he looked embarrassed: "Huh...... This ......"

Wang Mo sighed: "Brother Xiong, haven't you invested?" ”

Yuan Xiong: "Actually, I originally wanted to invest, but I just ......"

Wang Mo: "Just what?" ”

Yuan Xiong sneered: "It's just that my spare money is invested in other movies." ”

"What?"

Wang Mo was stunned for a moment, what good movie made Yuan Xiong invest in the other party, but not in himself?

Seeing Wang Mo looking at himself with strange eyes.

Yuan Xiong coughed and explained, "Actually...... This, I originally wanted to invest in "Kung Fu", but before your film project was established, I had my eye on another movie. Well...... Actually, it's also your movie. ”

Wang Mo was really stunned at this moment.

What other movies does he have?

Yuan Xiong continued: "You forgot? You planned a movie for Canxing Culture? ”

???

!!!

Groove !!

Wang Mo's eyes widened.

He was stunned.

He stammered, "No...... No, Brother Xiong...... You ......"

Yuan Xiong showed an embarrassed smile: "Amer, don't blame me. In fact, when you gave Canxing Culture the script of "Magic City Fortress", I was very optimistic about this story. I think it is definitely a groundbreaking sci-fi movie script in Chinese history, no worse than North American sci-fi blockbusters. But you insist on selling to Canxing Culture, and I can't say anything. But I've been following the movement of this movie.

After you sold the copyright, in less than a month, Canxing Culture set up the project for the film, and then began to attract investment. Originally, I thought that Canxing Culture would be a sole proprietorship of filming, but in the end, it still released some scattered investment shares to the market. It was snatched up in an instant.

However, I was able to grab some share of the investment because I had some connections. So lucky. ”

“……”

Wang Mo is stupid.

Looking at Yuan Xiong's embarrassed and excited appearance, he didn't know what to say at all.

After settling down, Wang Mo said, "That...... How much have you invested? ”

Yuan Xiong: "Full pressure!" I put all the money I could on it. There are about two or three million. ”

Wang Mo: "......"

Yuan Xiong saw that Wang Mo's face was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "Amer, it's not that I don't invest in "Kung Fu". The main reason is that "Magic City Fortress" is a script written by you, and I am optimistic about you before investing. Although Canxing Culture overshadowed you at the beginning, since there is such an opportunity to make money, don't be in vain, right? It's best to make money from Canxing Culture! ”

Wang Mo took a few deep breaths before asking, "Brother Xiong, can these film shares you invested in still be transferred?" ”

Yuan Xiong was puzzled: "Why do you want to transfer out?" ”

Wang Mo: "I don't understand it now, but you must listen to me." ”

Of course, he can't say that he has cheated Canxing Culture.

After all, "Demon Capital Fortress" has not yet been broadcast, if Wang Mo is sure that the box office of the movie will hit the street now, it is estimated that Yuan Xiong will be scared to death.

Yuan Xiong saw that Wang Mo didn't seem to be joking, and his heart jumped up for no reason: "Could it be ...... Is it possible that this movie will not work? ”

Wang Mo said: "I'm not sure, but in fact, I wasn't very optimistic about this script at the beginning. Otherwise, do you think I will sell to Canxing Culture? I'm full of food and holding on to make them money, huh? ”

Yuan Xiong's expression froze.

After half a ring, he was stunned and said, "It's too late." Now "Magic City Fortress" has already been filmed and will be released soon. Where else can I transfer out? ”

There was a pause.

Yuan Xiong still didn't give up and said: "But I think this script is really good, and Canxing Culture also spent more than 300 million dollars to shoot, and the stars invited are all today's top performers, so there's no reason to fail?" ”

Doesn't make sense?

What is the reason for the box office?

……

Yuan Xiong finally turned gray and left in a hurry, ready to try any way to throw away his share of investment.

Looking at the back of Yuan Xiong leaving, Wang Mo sighed helplessly.

Yuan Xiong's ability to be an agent is indeed second to none; Even as the head of a department, he has done a good job. But it's this investment vision that has always been a piece of. Wang Mo was also convinced.

But after thinking about it, Yuan Xiong's current annual salary plus equity dividends is more than five million, and he is relieved.

It's just a few million, a small meaning.

At most, Yuan Xiong couldn't enter the house for a month.

……

In the following time, Wang Mo began to devote himself to the later work of "Kung Fu".

The first is the soundtrack from the movie.

Many people subconsciously think that "Kung Fu" does not seem to have a theme song. But only those who have really eaten this movie understand that "Kung Fu" not only has a theme song, but also has a very, very large soundtrack, far more than ordinary movies.

It is precisely because of these wonderful soundtracks that they have become classics of the movie to a certain extent.

It's just that all the soundtracks in it are all light music, which makes people subconsciously ignore them.

And now.

Wang Mo must personally make them one by one, otherwise he will give them to the company, I am afraid that he will not be able to complete them in a year and a half, and the effect may not be good.

First of all.

The most classic is still the default theme song: "Just Live for You for a Day".

Everyone is not very unfamiliar with the title of this song, but as long as you listen to it for the first second, you will know what song it is.

Secondly.

is another episode that runs through the whole play: "I Don't Go to Hell".

Seeing this name, it is estimated that many people are as unfamiliar as the first song. Again, you can listen to it for a second. It only takes a second!

Besides:

A large number of folk music appeared in the movie, mainly including "Ambush on All Sides", "East China Sea Fishing Song", "Zheng Feng", "The Heroes Defeated the Dadu River", "Chuang General's Order", "Sichuan Shu General's Order", and "Little Knife Society Suite".

Other than that.

In addition to folk music, there is also Western music in the movie.

There are two of the most well-known.

Song 1: "The Wanderer's Song" (played by Anne-Sophie Mutter, nothing else.) You can go and listen to it, it is a violin performance, very classic. )。

The second song: "Sabre Dance" (Chinese: Sabre Dance).

All the songs are all soul-shaking existences, and each song is famous.

And now, Xing Ye has used an ingenious way to integrate them all into one movie, and there is no sense of disobedience between them, which is a height that other movies cannot reach.

Since when he got "Kung Fu" in the system, the system gave away all the soundtracks, so Wang Mo didn't need to customize these songs at all, just take them out.

However, Chai Qing saw that Wang Mo had come up with so many soundtracks at one time, and his eyes almost fell out in shock.

"Brother Mo, you...... Created so much soundtrack for one movie? ”

Chai Qing almost shouted out to God.

He knows the weight of Wang Mo in the music circle, and the value of every song is immeasurable. And now that Wang Mo has created so much music for the "Kung Fu" movie, how can he not be shocked?

There's so much music, what kind of movie are you making?

Sell these songs directly, and they can be sold for a sky-high price.

Chai Qingxin said.

Of course, Wang Mo won't say that all the music given to him by the system is just a small soundtrack, and if he wants to get the full version of the music, he still needs to buy it separately.

All the music is stacked together, I'm afraid it will cost millions of prestige, and although I can afford it, I won't be so extravagant.

After the music is done.

The special effects team has also finished its work.

Then, the final integration work.

Chai Qing personally handled the knife, while Wang Mo was on the side to point out.

It can be said that from front to back, Chai Qing is almost a tool man, and he has almost no right to speak as a dignified director, and he has been editing movies according to Wang Mo's intentions from front to back, but he enjoys this feeling very much. Because he found that Wang Mo's brain is like the most meticulous machine, always able to give the most appropriate editing plan.

In fact, sometimes, Chai Qing also wants to play on his own.

However, in the end, he still gave up, because every time he tried his best to edit something for half a day, it was not as good as Wang Mo's casual words.

This made Chai Qing almost admire Wang Mo to the extreme, and many times he even felt that Wang Mo already had a mature movie in his head, so that he could edit the best side of the movie so accurately.

Just by imagination, a movie is formed.

This kind of realm has reached a height that Chai Qing can't imagine.

……

Time passed.

At the end of November, Chai Qing finally completed the finished product of "Kung Fu", which is 100 minutes long, which is almost the same length as the original movie.

The whole film almost restores more than ninety percent of the plot of the original movie. Of course, there is also the surprise of Issei, because of the difference between the director and the actor, the characteristics of the two versions have been created.

However, Wang Mo felt very satisfied, if he forcibly restored the movie shot at the moment to 100% of the "Kung Fu" in his memory, then he would not be able to draw a tiger or an anti-dog.

"Then, let's start the publicity!"

Wang Mo clapped the board.

As he spoke, he was excited and apprehensive.

This is the first time he has participated in the production of such a large-scale movie, with a total investment of 280 million!

He didn't know how much the box office of this movie would get in the end, but he was very much looking forward to it being able to create a miracle, a miracle that the star had never created in his previous life.

In his previous life, although every movie of Xing Ye was called a classic, it was born in the wrong era. When each of his movies was released, the mainland film industry in China was still in a very sluggish stage, so the final box office of Xing Ye's movies was not high.

Even "Kung Fu" only got a total box office of 160 million in mainland China.

However, it created a box office miracle of more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rate at that time, which was equivalent to the box office of Hong Kong Island, which reached half of the entire Chinese box office.

Alas.

Pity.

Of course, don't look at the box office of 160 million is very low, but the entire box office ratio was still very amazing in China at that time, even exceeding 10% of the total box office of China at that time!

That year, the total box office of the entire Chinese movie was more than one billion.

And in the past 2023, the total box office of Huaxia will reach 56 billion!

This is still the achievement created at the beginning of the year when the epidemic has just opened up and the film market has just recovered. According to the popularity of this year's Spring Festival, it is estimated that the total box office in China will exceed 60 billion.

Thoughts return.

Wang Mo sighed leisurely and looked out the window.

……

Early December.

Yunhai Media and the official accounts of the major social platforms of "Kung Fu" all released news at the same time: "Wang Mo's new movie "Kung Fu" is coming, and it is about to meet you on New Year's Day, a new kung fu movie, a new nonsensical plot, a new comedy genre, I believe it will definitely not disappoint you, so stay tuned!! ”

Overwhelming publicity!

It's on!

Due to the success of "Jingwu Heroes", almost all the media gave "Kung Fu" enough face this time.

Almost as soon as the official release of "Kung Fu" was announced, almost all entertainment media reposted it simultaneously.

Moment.

The whole network is boiling.

"Ahhh

"I'm looking forward to it, I have to support it."

"I've been waiting for so long, and finally I've been waiting for a new movie."

"I hope it's another kung fu blockbuster that surprises me."

"Why isn't "Jingwu Heroes 2" written and produced by Brother Mo? Although it is still very exciting, without Brother Mo's participation, I always feel that there is a lack of taste. ”

"Yes, I think so too."

“……”

However, just when many people are excitedly looking forward to Wang Mo's new kung fu blockbuster.

Many people saw a few big words in the news: a new genre of comedy.

???

What?

Wang Mo's new movie, is it a comedy?

Enjoy? Drama?

Enjoy! Drama!

Your movie called "Kung Fu" is not an intense, hot-blooded, tense, and exciting action movie as everyone imagines, but a comedy?

How can kung fu movies be linked to comedy?

They were all stunned. (End of chapter)
