Chapter 338 Comedy? Horror?

Of course, although [parasitic] is a money tree.

But this money tree is not something Cao Yu can shake it alone.

Without the six major forces in Hollywood, Cao Yu could not pick up money from the money tree of [Parasite] without the six major forces in Hollywood.

Or to put it more accurately, it is that there are no film and television giants today who promote [parasite]. Even if the quality of [parasite] is indeed very good.

But in the end, the profit Cao Yu was able to obtain through [parasite] was a very low point, far less than the profit that he gained after giving up some of the positions under the tree to others.

So Cao Yu did not stop Jerry from "showing off" him everywhere, but instead let him go.

However, Cao Yu will not give up the subsequent benefits of [parasitics] now.

Because at this time, the reputation of [parasite] has not reached a peak, but is just starting to talk to others at this time, just like when a stock has been sold before it has risen.

However, the other six Hollywood majors are naturally aware of Cao Yu's thoughts.

But the other six Hollywood players are still very good at talking to Jerry in advance.

There is no way, the benefits behind a successful art film, or a readable art film, are really not small.

...

With such a game between the various parties, time slowly passed, the total box office of [Parasite] on the first three days was completely released.

The performance of [parasitics] is also very accurate, meeting the expectations of all parties.

The total box office of the first three days was much higher than that of a complex but accurate mathematical model.

The value reached 1.25 billion US dollars, and this number only represents North America, other parts of the world, Asia, Europe, and Africa, because theaters are not as fast as North America's digitalization, and there is some delay, and it cannot be counted yet.

However, North America has always been the weather vane for a movie in other ticket stores around the world. There are few movies that can succeed here, but in other places, there are few failures.

Moreover, according to the data counted by theaters around the world, the box office data of [Parasite] is very gratifying.

So this global box office trip of [Parasite] basically has a good start.

Moreover, there is a special feature of the box office curve of art films, that is, the decline is particularly stable and small.

If nothing unexpected happens, an art film can be released for several months and will always maintain a certain weight.

So after seeing the first week of the box office of [Parasite], Cao Yu did not stay in Hollywood anymore. After all, those Hollywood paparazzi saw Cao Yu having another terrifying operation, and now they began to squat outside the hotel where Cao Yu and Liu Yifei lived, holding Cao Yu and not letting go.

Hollywood cannot stay, and Cao Yu has nothing else to look good, so he can only return to China.

Although the Chinese country was only in 2009 at this time, the Chinese entertainment industry that Cao Yu participated in has undergone earth-shaking changes with the Chinese country that had not been involved in before.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the Chinese film industry at this time, because Cao Yu had systematic support, even in the era of very crazy piracy, Cao Yu could achieve an astonishing result in the Chinese theater chain in a desert with the blessing of the system BUFF.

Moreover, due to the principle of distribution of Chinese movie box office, even if Cao Yu holds a stake in the Chinese theater chain, Cao Yu can only get 30% of the shares at most, and the other 70% will be taken away by all aspects, among which the theater chain also earned a considerable income.

This income is very amazing, so today's Chinese film industry has developed very rapidly under the incentive of Cao Yu's film dividends.

If we really compare it in terms of scale, the prosperity of the Chinese film industry and theater coils at this time is no less than that of Cao Yu's previous life.

What level has Cao Yu developed in the past 15 years?

Yes, that time was the era of traffic. The value of idol stars in a movie could reach eight digits or even nine digits.

The box office of the top movie of the year is common, and only those who break through 1 billion are qualified to compete for the annual box office champion.

It can be said that at this time, the Chinese film and television industry had already flourished to a certain extent.

Nowadays, the Chinese entertainment industry that has been changed by Cao Yu is not less prosperous than that time, but the atmosphere in the circle is much better than that time.

Of course, the trend mentioned here means that film and television works are made more serious and do not have that kind of shocking plot.

As for the unspoken rules, it is not uncommon to assist actresses in understanding the scripts at night. After all, this kind of thing is common, not to mention China, even Hollywood. It is considered the basic appearance of the world in the entertainment industry, and it is also the reason why many rich people are willing to spend money in the entertainment industry.

And this is the case in the Chinese film and television industry now.

On the one hand, it was because Cao Yu's entertainment industry in his previous life, due to various constraints, he could only develop in China, which was to surpass the sky. That is, he relied on the influence of the Hong Kong capital film circle in the past to develop in Southeast Asia.

This situation without a way out will naturally make many people start to think about how to stay in a difficult position instead of improving their own skills and developing outside.

But now with Cao Yu, a blockbuster that can build a film and television city, and has a good relationship with the six major Hollywood companies, and can invest in it.

It has given many backers and seniors in the Chinese entertainment industry, and has made these people very eager to replicate Cao Yu's path of success.

This is the idea of ​​many talented and capable people in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, various reasons have led to a prosperous scene in the current Chinese entertainment industry.

The reason why Cao Yu came back in a hurry after waiting for the week of the release of [Parasite] is that on the one hand, he doesn't need to stare at [Parasite].

On the other hand, because of the rapid development of the Chinese entertainment industry, this time I saw Cao Yu create another masterpiece that can impact the Oscar, the largest award in the world film and television industry, many talented people can no longer sit still.

All of them were inspired by Cao Yu's excitement, and projects emerged like spring bamboos after the rain.

In recent years, due to the fact that the bonfire film and television company controlled by Cao Yu, it has the scale of a one-stop industrial chain in China, including investment, production, venue, publicity, release, and overseas screening expansion.

Therefore, many screenwriters in the circle are willing to send their works to Cao Yu's company for review as soon as possible, and many directors in the circle are willing to find projects on the Bonfire Film and Television platform.

Because as long as Cao Yu's company has been reviewed, the author basically only needs to create with peace of mind. Everything else, Cao Yu's bonfire market can be arranged clearly, and as long as he has the strength, he will get the best arrangements.

Moreover, some channels will send their intentions and works directly to Cao Yu's email.

Although Cao Yu did not have any serious job last year, he was not idle. Instead, he looked at the mailer's name and project name from a bunch of mailboxes, while comparing the fire in his memory, success and guaranteed works catalogs.

Last year, Cao Yu created more than ten projects directly from his email address.

Cao Yu's operation directly made people in the circle go crazy and submit works and projects to Cao Yu's email.

In Hollywood, Cao Yu found a series of popular scripts such as Bald Xu's "Lost in the Road", "Monster Hunt", "Operation Red Sea", "Detective Chinatown", "Charlotte's Troubles" scripts... from his mailbox.

And this is the real reason why Cao Yu was rushing to return to China from Hollywood.

All of them here can create a box office splash of more than one billion in China. What's more, a series of works, and the entire work can create a box office splash of more than one billion in the current Chinese country.

Of course, these splashes are just the level of sprinkling water for Cao Yu.

But these are all very profitable projects, and they are still door-to-door projects. Even if Cao Yu only relies on a piece of land in the Magic City Film and Television City, he has bid farewell to the days of lack of money in his life, but it is obviously not something Cao Yu likes to do to push out such projects that can make money with his eyes closed.

"Can you talk about the reason why you created this script?" Cao Yu looked at Xu Zheng, who was sitting opposite him with a nervous posture, put down the script in his hand and started asking questions to bald Xu.

After returning to China, Cao Yu's first project was Xu Zheng's Hughwa series.

There is no way, who said that this series is a type of type with small investment, high returns and many series in all projects?

Cao Yu looked roughly at bald Xu Zheng's [Lost in the Road] with his makeup and appearance. He found that many of the plots and lines in it were almost the same as those I saw in my previous life, at most there were some differences in some individual words.

So Cao Yu knew that as long as there was no trouble in this project, it would basically be successful.

However, Cao Yu's identity is an investor at this time. Even if he is optimistic about this project, he cannot be exposed. Otherwise, although Xu Zheng looks nervous at this moment, as long as Cao Yu expresses this intention, bald Xu will be very happy.

And when a person starts to be happy, especially a person like Bald Xu, his mind will definitely start to become alive.

After all, the Bonfire Film and Television under Cao Yu is a behemoth. If you invest in a project and make sure to make a movie, you will give more resources and you will need to get more returns at that time.

If nothing unexpected happens, the entire Hughwaku series will be won by Bonfire Film and Television. Xu Zheng will at most receive a director and starring pay, and he doesn't even have to think about dividends. After all, although Xu Zheng was quite famous at this time, he was still much different from the level of Bonfire Film and Television.

Such a situation must be somewhat unfair and may cause Xu Zheng's disgust.

This is something Cao Yu doesn't want, so even if Cao Yu likes this series and knows how profitable this series is, he should not be too keen on the attitude he shows at this time.

But if you talk about other things, Cao Yu is not good at it, so he can only speak the same words as the voice of the mentor: What is your dream?

"I... I, I, what I thought about was that it was so easy to succeed." Although Cao Yu's problem was nonsense, the difference between Cao Yu's identity and Xu Zheng at this time was even more nonsense.

So after Cao Yu's nonsense questioning, Xu Zheng's answer was not only honest, but also stuttered nervously.

"It's easy to succeed?" Cao Yu muttered repeatedly while Xu Zheng's answer. When he thought seriously, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Just like many directors in North America like to make horror movies.

That's not because the director likes horror movies, but because horror movies are easy to shoot. As long as the plot is thrilling, some simple shots and rough scenes can bring people a strong sensory impact.

This kind of impact is no less visual impact than those lenses that invest hundreds of millions of dollars, but the cost is indeed almost no comparison.

The same is true for comedy. A funny joke, as long as it is arranged well, as long as two people, a few lines, expressions and actions, can make people laugh and the cost is very low.

Of course, if you really play a role in cost, the best thing is to be a horror movie. After all, scaring is a simple thing. It is always very effective to hide behind a corner, but if you keep telling a joke to someone, the effect will be very low.

However, the film censorship system in North America is relatively loose and has a relatively large scale. It can be found that all kinds of monsters and unreasonable plots can be found, so there are many horror films in North America.

However, the censorship system in China is relatively strict and scientific. If you do horror movies, you cannot have unreasonable things.

What else can I do?

This rule is the most unreasonable thing for horror movies.

So in terms of cost, it is easier to become famous in China to make comedy movies.

Bald Xu's idea is very realistic.

"That's right. When there is no capital, reducing costs and increasing success rate is the best choice." Cao Yu nodded at Xu Zheng.

When the bald Xu Zheng saw that Cao Yu agreed with his statement, he felt excited even though he was much older than Cao Yu.

There is no way, Cao Yu's current status is worthy of any in-person in the Chinese entertainment industry whom he praised.

"I just want to think about you, and I invested in this project. A pragmatic director, even if this failure is the next time, he will definitely succeed. It is just a training fee.

However, Director Xu should also know the rules of our Bonfire Film and Television, that is, the copyright of the movie, and we have to keep it.

And now I solemnly invite Director Xu to join our director team of Bonfire Film and Television.”

Cao Yu's words were accompanied by deception and traps, so he greeted Xu Zheng.

Although Xu Zheng was not young, he could withstand the tricks from a big shot like Cao Yu. He sold his director's "selling contract" to Cao Yu in just a few seconds.
