"Dr. Yu, the release of "People on the Road" is really thanks to your help."
"Dr. Tang is so polite. With the reputation of "Journey to the Road", I estimate that "囧囧" will have a box office of at least 200 million. I am just the icing on the cake." Yu Dong laughed.
Hollywood likes to make sequels to blockbuster movies, because as long as the name remains the same and the actors basically remain the same, it's just counting the money with your eyes closed.
So after the first three "Star Wars" movies, there was a prequel trilogy 16 years later, and then there were the seventh and eighth movies.
In a few years, there will definitely be a ninth, tenth, and even more, as long as this series can still make money.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was filmed from 1981 to 2013, and Harrison Ford was filmed from the age of 39 to 71, a span of 32 years.
It is estimated that even if he can no longer be filmed, the producers will still find someone else to play his son and let Harrison Ford appear to represent the legacy...
This is not just the profit of the movie. For a series that has been popular for more than ten or twenty years, the copyright of this IP alone is worth billions of dollars, and people may not even sell it.
"Star Wars" later released a spin-off, "Rogue One," in which there was not a single actor from the original version. All the actors did not appear in the previous films, and the pay was much cheaper.
It's just called a Star Wars Story, it doesn't have much connection with the plot, and it's got 1 billion US dollars worldwide, it's like a rooster laying eggs.
Therefore, Hollywood is desperately making sequels to build IP. Even a movie like "Independence Day" has a sequel after 20 years, and it has nothing to do with the first one.
Although the global box office of 400 million is only half of the first film 20 years ago, the film studio is still making a bit of money.
And just this piece of garbage film sold 500 million in the country.
Hollywood is like this, and China naturally wants to follow suit.
However, there are only a few big-selling movies in China every year, and a director of Zhang Yimou's level will definitely not make a sequel, and even if he wants to make a sequel, it won't be high enough.
Even Feng Xiaogang later confessed after the release of "Private Order" that he made this film to repay Wang Zhongjun's favor and fill the hole in "1942".
Now that we have this embarrassing series, as long as the second part continues to sell well, then this IP will become
Although Yu Dong didn't get a share of the pie, without his investment
However, Tang An shook his head at Yu Dong's estimate of 200 million, "Yu Dong, my goal is more than 200 million."
"Oh, what is Director Tang's goal?" Yu Dongxiao asked.
"500 million."
Tang An smiled and spit out a number.
He did not mention the expected 700 million. For Dong, whether it is 500 million or 700 million, it is the same concept: impossible and non-existent.
Yu Dong smiled casually, thinking that Tang An was joking.
Tang An smiled and didn't say much. When the box office came out, you could see Yu Dong's horrified expression.
After chatting for a while, Tang An went to greet the guests with Chen Guofu and Xu Manyun.
Not long after, Xu Zheng and the creators walked in from the red carpet outside, and the premiere ceremony officially began.
"Welcome to all of you to attend the world premiere ceremony of the movie "Journey to Thailand". One year ago, "Journey to Thailand" brought a lot of laughter to the audience. Today, one year later, I hope that "Journey to Thailand" will be a great success.
"Thai囧" can help everyone have a happy Spring Festival"
Tang An did not steal the show. After speaking for a long time, he handed the stage to Xu Zheng and the actors.
After some emotion, the host Tu Wei teased an "intimate scene" in which Wang Baoqiang drugged Xu Zheng and asked Tao Xin for his opinion.
Before Tao Xun could say anything, Huang Bo broke the news first. He smiled and said, "That cobra is real, and so is the butt."
Wang Baoqiang said seriously, "What you think is true is true."
Xu Zheng said frankly, "Actually, that butt is not mine, but we chose the whitest one."
The tacit understanding and affectionate interaction between the three embarrassing gods made the audience burst into laughter. Tao Xun finally couldn't help it and shouted that the three of them were "true love".
When Tang Yan was asked what it was like to play a goddess, she was a little shy and said that she was afraid that the audience would not recognize her as a guest goddess.
Then the lights in the screening room went out and the big screen came on.
After the previous pre-roll ad ended, the main film started.
The above line of subtitles is produced by Hantang Media Group and produced by Tang An.
This is also the first film invested by Hantang Media.
The scene officially started, Xu Zheng's iconic bald head appeared on the screen, wearing a white coat and protective glasses, doing the oil tyrant experiment.
The list of main creators also flashed on the screen.
It turned out that Xu Lang was showing the experimental results to his wife.
Xu Lang needed to go to Thailand to sign the contract, but his wife was about to get a divorce without waiting for a moment. In desperation, Xu Lang had to kneel down and pray.
At this time, Huang Bo, dressed in black and wearing black sunglasses, appeared, holding a cup of coffee and wiping his hair coquettishly, and said with a smile, "Why, I'm proposing to my sister-in-law again!"
"Huang Bo is so mean in his suit and leather shoes."
"With the evil smile on his face, Huang Bo must be the villain!"
"The laughter is a bit ecstatic, and the expression and eyes are even funnier than when I'm pretending to be ugly."
The opening scene is a joke. Huang Bozeng, who dresses like a human, understands that he does not rely on being ugly to make people laugh.
There are a total of fifty or sixty laugh points in the whole film, which are extremely dense and not funny at all. They are so natural that they basically cannot be stopped throughout.
Next, Gao Bo kept talking to Xu Lang without missing a beat. Xu Lang just kept trying to deal with him, but his wife let it slip.
Gao Bo: "No, do you know where Lao Zhou is?"
Xu Lang: "I don't know, I thought you knew!"
Gao Bo: "I don't know, how do you know that I know?"
Xu Lang; "I didn't know you knew!"
This funny dialogue once again caused the audience to burst into laughter.
"The two of them have so many sparks in their scenes!"
"Let's get it done, you two are so mean!"
"Little Tao Xin is no longer a light bulb."
"You two talk"
After that, the scene was full of laughter. When Wang Baoqiang's hairstyle and style appeared, it also deeply "fascinated" the audience.
In just a few minutes of the scene on the plane, the laughter almost never stopped, and you could hear the stomach cramps of the audience nearby laughing.
Then Yang Mi walked into the elevator while talking on the phone, speaking in Thai, and the two began to argue about whether this was a shemale.
Later, when the baby wanted to strike up a conversation, Scissorhands came and showed off some English.
"hello!"
At this time, Yang Mi answered the phone and spoke in Chinese.
"I'm in the elevator, and there are two 2bs here!"
The two of them were so embarrassed that their expressions became a little stiff at this time.
When he actually saw his performance on the big screen, Yang Mi was even more exaggerated than when he was filming, and he almost burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, this is too funny. I didn't think it was so funny during the filming. Oops, I can't do it anymore, haha."
At this time, no one in front of her laughed at her. Everyone was amused by this scene. The laughter continued in the theater for a while. Even Tang An, who had seen it more than once, laughed out loud.
"Give me back my goddess Mi Mi!!!"
"Yang Mi actually played the role of a demon, Baldy Xu, you ******"
"The Silence of Mystery"
"It's so confusing, haha"
"I recognize such a beautiful shemale!"
"Ouch, I'm so angry. Let me slow down!"
"You don't understand, this scallion pancake sounds simple to you!"
“Whether the noodles are dead noodles, risen noodles, or hot noodles!”
"It's roasted, it's grilled, it's steamed, it's fried!" Then the baby started to explain the principles of scallion pancakes.
"Okay, okay, how much do you sell one piece for?" Xu Lang became impatient and asked directly.
"Two dollars and five!" the baby replied
"How much does it cost?"
"Almost a dollar!"
"Then how many cakes can you sell every day?"
"Eight hundred!" Can cakes also be considered "only"?
"So many!" Xu Lang was shocked.
“That’s quite a few things.”
"Even if you make a net profit of twenty-six thousand a month!"
"Then you can definitely sell it to franchisees."
Xu Lang started to come up with ideas.
"The franchise fee is 5,000 yuan. If you open 100 stores in Beijing, the monthly franchise fee will be 500,000 yuan."
"That's 6 million a year. If there are 5,000 chain stores across the country, we can make 300 million a year!"
"That's right, that's right." The baby tapped the table several times excitedly.
"In less than two years, it will definitely be listed on the main board!"
"Sell me the formula!" Xu Lang is worthy of being a professional elite and has great business acumen.
"Actually, there is no secret recipe. You just can't hire anyone, you can't freeze it, it has to be freshly baked, and I have to make it myself!" The baby said the "recipe."
Xu Lang rolled his eyes and said so much in vain.
"So you can only make scallion pancakes for the rest of your life, you know?"
"How did you know? I just like making scallion pancakes!" The baby thought he was praising him.
Time gradually passed, and there was no one in the entire screening room who didn't laugh. Once he laughed, he couldn't stop laughing.
Maybe it can really break 500 million?
As Yu Dong listened to the laughter around him, a thought flashed through his mind, but he immediately forgot about it and started watching the movie seriously, even though he had already watched it.
"Director Xu, judging from the audience's reaction, this movie is bound to be a box office hit. It seems you can start preparing the script for the third part." Tang An looked at the big screen, tilted his head and smiled at Xu Zheng next to him. road.
Xu Zheng next to him heard Tang An's words, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry, Director Tang, I may not have time next year."
