Chapter 271: The Dark Knight Dragon Kingdom Total Box Office! Thanks to Heath Ledger!
"Thank you."
Liu Yifei was still a little confused, and subconsciously thanked her.
"No thanks, we both graduated from the same school, and we are all friends, when my soldier raided the investment before, it was also the investment of the Red Star House, and I just told me in advance that there will be more film and television companies involved-"
Seeing that Liu's mother was in a hurry and wanted to speak, Su Yi did not stop talking.
"Auntie, this time it's not one superhero, it's a lot of superheroes. When the time comes, I will choose a good script for you, but this time the investment will be huge, and it will be a matter of who makes it well. Whoever makes this IP, even if it is a film without clear copyright, will be protected by the rules of many film companies at that time, and people will not follow the trend casually. β
Su Yi explained.
"Of course, it's not filming, this copyright is yours, but the General Administration will prevent malicious follow-up and use your fame to cheat the box office. And my advice is to spend most of the money on special effects and scripts, even if it's not a 3D version of the movie. β
This can be regarded as Su Yi's heart-wrenching words.
He is now the president of the Film Association, although he actually has no rights, and it is impossible to increase the box office because of this status.
But the reputation and prestige are there, and everyone will give Su Yi some face, even if it is Chen Kaige, he can't openly say how Su Yi is, at most he can talk about his works.
As soon as the box office came out this time, he was honest in an instant, as long as someone asked about Batman, Chen Kaige had a black face throughout the whole process, as long as it was this topic, he would turn around and leave directly.
And now Su Yi is not only the president of the Film Association, but also the director of the system, and has received the full support of China Film, Shanghai Film, and Bayi Film Studio.
The most important thing is that it is not only fame, but also strength!
Whether it is abroad or at home, it has a high box office.
The advice of such an all-round director, any film production company or entertainment company will listen to it as if it were a 'holy decree'.
Mother Liu didn't speak, but nodded again and again, taking all of Su Yi's words to heart.
At the same time, she was a little embarrassed, she hurriedly got up and refilled a cup of tea for Su Yi.
"Xiao Su, Auntie is old, and this reaction is sometimes too slow. The brain is also slow, and this time I still want to thank you, it is you who have always helped Fei Fei choose the right path. I've been abroad for a few years, and I've also been corrupted by capitalism, which can be a little selfish at times. β
Mother Liu knew that Su Yi had always been very good to Liu Yifei, and they invested in soldier assault at the beginning, and later received a huge amount of dividends, which was not much help.
And Liu's mother can also see that this Su Yi is not for her daughter's appearance - although she hopes that the two of them will be together, so in order not to drag her daughter back and make Su Yi feel bad, she hurriedly apologized.
Su Yi smiled noncommittally, he didn't pick up, but to be honest, Liu Yifei's mother didn't have much foresight.
"Fei Fei, there will be a lot of themes at that time, you can choose from it. Choose the one that suits you better. β
Liu Yifei nodded, but her face was a little embarrassed.
Because she doesn't have too many ideas, and even for some mythological stories, it's just a blank.
Originally, when she was young, she went to the Star Flag Country, and Liu's mother's experience was okay, but because she was busy working hard for the so-called career at that time, she ignored a lot of things.
Moreover, in addition to the top management, most of the education in the Star Flag Country advocates happy growth.
So although Liu Yifei's father was a learned man, Liu Yifei herself didn't have much ink.
Some myths and stories may have been heard as a child and forgotten when you grew up.
"In this regard, my aunt may know better, she can broaden her thinking a little bit, find an idea, and find a professional screenwriter to adapt, such as the daughter of Emperor Yan, Jingwei Reclamation, although most of them are now adapted from mythological stories to fairy tales, but everything can be extended infinitely."
Su Yi gave an example, this is the traditional culture of the Dragon Kingdom, and in the past thousand years, countless predecessors have fantasized and extended myths.
In the present, it must not be forgotten!

A month later.
"Batman's final domestic box office, 3.1 billion! China Film Group did not have any plans to postpone the broadcast, but chose to withdraw the file! β
After Batman: The Dark Knight was taken off the shelves, the final box office was announced, which immediately caused an uproar.
3.1 billion box office!
It's the market of the Dragon Country alone!
broke the box office record of the Dragon Kingdom, and now Changjin Lake has ranked second.
Su Yi completely emptied the wallets of fans.
It is also because the price of IMAX theaters is relatively expensive that there are such box office results.
3.1 billion!
This box office result is not only a shock to the director industry, before this, many netizens and fans were paying attention to this movie, and when the final box office appeared today, countless audiences were shocked.
"3.1 billion! The box office of Dragon Kingdom alone has now paid off! β
With an investment of 2.4 billion, this is already shocking, but the box office of a country alone is completely recouping!
In fact, this box office is within the expectations of China Film.
After the super high box office in the first ten days, there must have been a slip in the back.
The box office of 3D theaters fell, and 2D began to rise.
But in the end, it surpassed Changjin Lake and ranked first at the box office.
After all, this is the second 3D movie, the number of movie theaters has increased a lot, and the number of people who support Su Yi has also increased.
In addition, the IP of Batman is okay in the Dragon Kingdom.
"Director Su Yi has once again created a box office myth! Although the box office around the world did not come out, it must be a very gratifying result! Congratulations also on a miracle of our MarchΓ© du Film! β
"From one billion box office, to two billion box office, and then to three billion, it took director Su Yi three years! It has exceeded the profits that many businesses can create! β
"Although Director Su Yi has emptied the monthly salary of many people, the movie score is very high! This also proves that superhero movies are entering the market! β
Dragon Country Entertainment Newspapers are all praised.
Even the six sets of central stations are praising them.
"This is the honor of our Dragon Kingdom Film, and it is also the honor of director Su Yi! Fortunately, Warner Bros. hesitated at the beginning to let China Film Group invest 100 million! Otherwise, it's making money for someone else! β
As soon as this news came out, many people were even more refreshed.
Some small newspapers have criticized this before, after all, this is a foreign-invested movie, which surpasses the box office of Changjin Lake, which still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
But now the six princesses directly broke the news that this was jointly invested by Warner and China Film.
Directed by Long Guoren, and the script was also written by Su Yi.
No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as having a little bit of dragon blood.
So in the face of such a situation, it can be regarded as the prosperity of the Dragon Kingdom film industry.
It directly surpassed the stick country, the small day market, and even the Western market, and was the second largest film market in North America!
That's what makes people so excited!
When the contract was signed before, China Film and Warner had an agreement, not one-third of the share, but the Dragon Country market belonged to China Film, and the North American market belonged to Warner.
The rest of the film markets such as the West and Xiaori will be divided according to the contract.
In Warner's view, it's a sure-fire bet.
But after seeing the box office of Dragon Country, I was thrilled.
The box office of a country has directly returned to its original cost! If you extend the playback, it is estimated that you can still earn some.
In 2002, the global box office contribution, Dragon Kingdom could not enter the ranking at all.
By 2005, especially in 07 and 08, the market contribution has skyrocketed!
Needless to say, the size of the stick country is definitely needless to say, there are few people, and the box office is not high, so it was soon surpassed.
The sum of Changjin Lake in 07 and other films together directly surpassed the Western market.
Many people may not know that Little Day is actually the second largest film market!
But now, with the rise of the Dragon Kingdom film industry, they have become the third!
Β·Β·Β·
China Film Group, Han Sanping Office.
When Han Sanping first saw the data, he was also taken aback.
At the beginning, it would be good to surpass Changjin Lake.
After all, 3D movies are all high and low, true love fans can't wait to watch it three times, and non-true love fans are too lazy to watch it even if it's free.
But the momentum behind it is still very strong, and it directly breaks through the limit.
"Chairman Han, haven't gotten off work yet?"
The vice chairman passed by, saw that the door was still open, and came in with a smile to say hello.
This vice chairman is the one who signed a contract with Huayi Wang Zhongjun before, and later made tens of thousands of yuan from the heroic attack, which is more uncomfortable than losing money.
But he didn't hold a grudge against Su Yi or anything like that because of this.
Although Su Yi had already risen to prominence at that time, many people still did not expect Su Yi to have today's glory.
After all, Su Yi was more like a TV drama director and public welfare director at that time.
Huayi also had a grudge with Su Yi at that time, and now if you ask Wang Zhongjun if he regrets it, it is estimated that his intestines are repentant.
From sky-high soldier assaults to movies about wars abroad.
At least 2 billion was lost!
However, these grievances have nothing to do with the vice chairman of China Film Group, and Han Sanping's own projects have lost money.
So for Su Yi's success, the vice chairman had no other ideas, but was quite happy.
After all, China Film won a big victory this time, and the above has verbally rewarded China Film's investment success.
And this time it is a joint venture shooting, and the cost of introducing it in all aspects is very small.
It is a very successful investment, but you must know that the tax on movies is also very high.
So with Su Yi's light, the entire Zhongying was beaming.
"Such a happy thing, I may have to work overtime here tonight!"
Han Sanping was in a very happy mood.
China Film Group is strictly an enterprise and institution, and there are many things to do every day, and although it is a state-owned enterprise, there are many things to worry about.
For example, this time, the task from above, the movie of the 60th anniversary of the birth of the motherland, just finding a director and writing a script is enough of a headache.
There are also movie channel things, foreign film review, distribution, and so on.
"Ha global box office out? So happy? β
The vice chairman walked in, sat down and chatted for a while.
"The box office thing is also happy, and the most important thing is that Su Yi, this kid, has done it."
Su Yi?
The vice chairman was a little curious.
"It's nothing to tell you, Su Yi's prestige in the film industry has surpassed me. Even if it's Shangying, he sells his face. β
Han Sanping looked at the interview program on the movie channel and said with a smile.
"Upper shadow?"
The vice chairman is a little puzzled, why does it have anything to do with Shangying?
"In just one month, the box office has become 3.1 billion! And the upper shadow, the western shadow. Changying, even Bayi Film and Television are involved, and they all have to make superhero movies! β
The vice chairman was taken aback, isn't it a high-grossing movie?
As for causing such a big storm?
"People's entertainment life is gradually enriched by the Internet, and through the communication of the Internet, people know more and more things, and under the impact of fast food culture on traditional culture, the pace of movies must also become faster. This time, Su Yi's film is successful, both literary and commercial, but it is not easy to adapt the script like this, and it is even difficult to appear, it is better to shoot a fast food movie through a simple adaptation."
Han Sanping told Su Yi about the chat he had with before, and also explained to the vice chairman, of course, it is impossible for all the movies in the future of Dragon Kingdom to be this kind of fast food movie, and the market of Dragon Country is very large and more inclusive.
"It is estimated that Western Film will shoot some movies with a bit of depth, but it will definitely bloom! With Director Su coming out, the strategies of these film companies will definitely be adjusted quickly. β
The vice chairman also knew Su Yi's ability.
With this 3.1 billion box office impact, it is enough for them to change their previous plans!
"But... These films need an opportunity. This Batman movie is not enough for them to see that the dragon kingdom's own superheroes will be hot. β
The vice chairman is also a person with a vicious eye.
"Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World" is ready to enter the New Year."
Han Sanping said with a smile that it was not only the box office that made him so happy.
Approved by the leadership and supported by major film platforms.
Even TV drama companies like Tang Ren are actively preparing movies about the Sword and Fairy series, striving to make the characters of the Sword and Fairy series become 'superheroes'!
"I know that this work was released by Shanghai Film. Collaboration with Enlight Media. It was produced for more than a year, and Warner Animation technology was also used. β
The vice chairman nodded, although he knew about it, but he didn't expect this movie to be so important.
"Two animated films from Light Media, one internally, activate the future superhero series! One to the outside world, open up the foreign market! β
Han Sanping's tone was high, even a little trembling.
The vice chairman was shocked, but he knew Han Sanping's status.
The leaders above value it, and they have a good relationship with directors and actors in the entertainment industry.
Although China Film has now developed to such a scale, it is also related to director Su Yi.
It is not the credit of Han Sanping alone, but I have to say that after Han Sanping took over, the film industry of Longguo was thriving.
For a person of such status, there seem to be few things that can make him so gaffe.
"The strength of this light media is also very strong. Two animated films to be produced at once? β
Han Sanping didn't explain, but smiled.
Tough?
These two animated movies are both named by Su Yi!
If there is no Su Yi, who can invest hundreds of millions in animated films?

Web forums.
"Awesome! Originally, I liked the role of the Joker, but the script gave the Joker a new life! And the screenwriters and directors are all from the Dragon Kingdom, so I like it even more! β
"Warner executives said in an interview that Heath Ledger is still recovering and is also doing psychological construction, because the role of the clown is very classic, and he is a person who does not play cards according to common sense, so Director Su Yi sent him to a real madhouse to learn the essence there!"
"Haha. It's the first time I've heard of sending an actor to a mental hospital. But that's what Director Su Yi can do! β
"Heath Ledger is so charismatic, I really forgot about Batman this time. I hope there will be related movies in the future. β
"I love movies, but I also wish we could have our own superheroes!"
The discussion on the Internet has begun to extend continuously.
And Dragon Kingdom is still just discussing, in the North American market, Joker fans are starting to go a little crazy.
Even define the clown's celebration day and so on.
Many people dressed as clowns took to the streets, saying Heath Ledger's classic lines.
Even to the point of fanaticism.
The movie has been taken off the shelves, and there are even protests.
Because if it is only released for a month, the box office may not be able to be higher.
At the end of 2008, Titanic was the No. 1 box office in the world!
$2.201 billion!
A few days before it was taken off the shelves, the box office of the Dark Knight had already entered the top ten.
Exceeded $1 billion at the box office.
also broke the highest box office of Chinese directors.
Some time ago, some people estimated that if it continued to be popular, the movie might eventually exceed $2 billion, but this will take a lot of time, even more than half a year to be released.
After all, the Titanic was also released for a long time.
And Cameron's shooting skills are very exquisite, and countless classic shots have been imitated and paid tribute to by other films.
The Dark Knight didn't have such a height, but the plot and the gimmick of the first part being shot entirely in IMAX 3D instantly attracted countless audiences.
Well-known film critics once praised it: Batman: The Dark Knight is a movie with a lot of classic shots, and most importantly, if you like rigorous plot and scrutiny, then this movie is for you. If you want to watch a fast food plot, then this movie is also for you!
Warner also knows how to market, and even if Heath Ledger recovers from his illness, he is still not allowed to be interviewed by the media.
In their words, it's about guaranteeing the box office.
There was even news of a critical illness outside.
Many viewers were shocked by such news, and many people went to the second and third brushes.
In this way, can the box office not be high?
Even Warner has already begun to prepare for the next movie about the Joker.
After all, Su Yi exchanged scripts with them before.
However, whether it will be played by Heath Ledger or not, this is still uncertain news.
But no matter what, once the star is confirmed, the box office will definitely not be low.
And when the global box office was still being counted, Warner gave a bombshell news.
Heath Ledger, interviewed!
At this moment, the fans were boiling in an instant.
Especially when the day was returned.
Many fans from the West, Xiaori, Dragon Kingdom and other countries are in a hurry.
Β·Β·Β·Β·
Warner Bros. Films.
It seems that the whole building has been surrounded.
But Diane's face was full of excitement.
"Heath Ledger, this is your chance. Be cherished to continue to maintain your style. β
It was supposed to be an indoor interview, but some fans openly threatened, intimidated, and even said that if it was in a small room, it would set the whole building on fire.
Faced with this situation, Warner is also helpless, their conference room can accommodate 500 people, but it is called small.
No way, this movie was a big hit because of the first 3D.
And it's also excellent in all aspects, and today the movie is off the shelves, and Shyle Ledger is interviewed for the first time.
It's strange if it's not hot.
Shimraj, who has already brought oil paint, knows how to 'deal with' his fans.
His face was still covered in paint.
When I came outside, I was also taken aback.
Countless oil paints that look even more delicate than their own makeup.
There are those who wear hospital gowns, and there are those who wear suits.
At first glance, it's a little creepy.
"Hello everyone, I am the actor of Batman: The Dark Knight Joker, first of all, I want to thank Director Su Yi from the Dragon Kingdom, the reason why I have such a performance is inseparable from his spurs and suggestions!"
"And if it weren't for Director Su Yi, maybe I wouldn't be able to meet you now!"
Loud speakers spread throughout the streets.
Almost everyone can hear it clearly.
"Moreover, I think Director Su Yi made me see the madness of the clown"
Heath Ledger's voice was sincere.
"I am also very grateful to Director Su Yi, without him 'sent' me to the madhouse, I wouldn't even know my 'potential'!" (End of chapter)
