Chapter eight hundred and thirty fourth jealous people
But this is all in 2017. 2015 has just passed, and it is basically certain that Tang An will sweep the field again in the summer. Kangpei needs to be concerned about next year.
The huge sales of three imported blockbusters this year, "Vegetarian 7", "Avengers 2" and "Pig Logic World", have made Kang Pei pay more and more attention to imported movies.
Among the imported films that will be released next year, the ones that may become blockbusters are "Warcraft", "Captain America 2", "Kung Fu Panda 3", and "Batman v Superman".
Needless to say, "Warcraft", even if Kang Pei doesn't play games, after a little understanding of the influence and data of this game in China, we can be sure that this is one of the strong contenders for next year's box office championship.
"Kung Fu Panda 3" has oriental elements, and the second part sold more than 600 million, and it is very likely to exceed 1 billion.
The huge sales of "Avengers 2" made him more optimistic about "Captain America 2" and "Batman v Superman".
The sales of superheroes in China were okay before, but the sales were only 600-700 million at most. That is to say, "Avengers 2" brought together many superheroes and attracted more movie fans.
"Captain America 3" has many superheroes including Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Ant-Man. It is almost like another "Avengers".
The Avengers are popular, so the other side, the Justice League, naturally has great potential, not to mention Superman and Batman appearing together on the big screen for the first time.
And it's not even a collaboration. The title of the film "Batman v Superman" already makes it very clear. It tells the story of Batman and Superman competing against each other.
No one knows who is stronger between Guan Gong and Qin Qiong. Debates about who is the better superhero can be heard for a long time. When "Avengers" was released, there were fans who started arguing.
And Superman and Batman are two of the most well-known in the country. The audience will definitely be very interested in a battle between these two people.
With four hits, Kang Pei can’t wait to think about next year’s success.
"By the way, Lao Zhang, Tang An should also pay more attention to see what type his new film is and when it will be released next year." Kang Pei warned again.
According to the rules, one or two months after "Operation Red Sea" is finished, Tang An will start preparing for a new film, which will be released next year.
Kang Pei still doesn't understand how Tang An manages to schedule every movie so perfectly without any free time in between.
Don’t all creative people need inspiration? It’s very rare for well-known screenwriters and writers to write one book a year. It’s normal to write one book every three to five years.
It has been twelve years, almost one film every year. I don’t know what to do with this brain, and my thinking will never run out.
After talking about work, Kang Pei casually complained to Zhang Ping.
Zhang Ping thought about it and couldn't find any reasonable explanation. Even if Feng Xiaogang made five movies in the five years from 2006 to 2010, there would be a year off in 2011, and "1942" also took a long time.
It took two years to film.
Tang An's eleven films in twelve years are no different from one film a year. I really don't know how to maintain it like this.
"Maybe this is talent!"
In the end, the only reasonable explanation is talent.
...
Because of the popularity of "Operation Red Sea", Kang Pei attached great importance to "The Founding of the Army" and wanted to make it into a real war movie with additional large-scale war scenes.
Xiang Huaqiang, who was far away in Xiangjiang, was also deeply touched by this.
Xiangjiang was once one of the Four Little Dragons in Asia, an international metropolis, and a major city in the world.
However, in the face of "Operation Red Sea"'s box office performance of nearly 400 million in a single day, it is very likely to exceed 3 billion or even 4 billion.
Even he, a big businessman from a big city, was extremely shocked and jealous.
In the past two years, movies with a box office of over 1 billion were released in the Mainland, and Xiang Huaqiang began to want to enter the movie to make a fortune.
Not only him, but also Lin Jianyue, Yang Shoucheng, and Jiang Zhiqiang, who has been cooperating with mainland film and television companies, all want to catch up with the rapid development of the mainland film market and get a share of the pie.
But at that time, they were no longer qualified, and several major companies would not allow them to enter. Even if they wanted to enter, it would be just a sip of soup, and it was impossible to take the lead.
They cannot occupy a dominant position in co-productions, and they do not have the ability to promote and distribute them, so they can only hand over profits to mainland companies.
But even so, they did not give up, so Xiang Huaqiang made "Legend of the Gods", which can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.
But now the mainland market is about to release a movie worth 3 to 4 billion yuan. With such a huge number, the box office alone can earn more than 1 billion yuan. He Xiang Huaqiang only has so much assets on the table.
Such a huge number made Xiang Huaqiang's heart beat.
Aobo Holdings, a subsidiary of Duwang, is one of the only six authorized gambling companies in Australia. It owns 18 casinos and made a profit of 6 billion yuan last year. This year's profits have shrunk significantly, with profits in the first half of the year just over one billion yuan.
Faced with such huge profits, Xiang Huaqiang is no longer satisfied with using "Legend of the Gods" to make a quick buck.
After much thought, he decided to make the film "Legend of the Gods" seriously.
I called Wang Zhongjun at home and made an appointment to talk about the movie again.
Such great courage, but his wife was a little worried.
"This money is not ours. If we lose money, how will you explain it to them?"
"How can it be possible to lose money? "Journey to the West" can be a hit, and "The Legend of the Gods" is also good, and there are so many stars, so there is no way to lose money."
An important decision was made and Xiang Huaqiang was full of confidence.
"Even if they lose a little, I'll make up for them at worst!"
There are risks, but the returns are also higher.
First take that money and invest it, 400 million gray funds, and actually invest 300 million. After making money, you only need to pay back other people's money, and the rest is yours.
Even if he just breaks his capital, he won't lose money. After all, he still has to take a commission from the money.
But if it sells well, it will make a lot of money.
After dispelling Xiang Tai's doubts, Xiang Tai said nothing more. This was also to praise his son. Even if he lost a little, it was not a big deal.
Moreover, her feud with Zhou Xingchi was well known to everyone. She thought she had made Zhou Xingchi famous, and Zhou Xingchi wanted to repay her kindness and come back to help her make money.
But Zhou Xingchi is not willing to continue to be squeezed. He thinks that I am famous because of my ability. If I don’t want to cooperate with you, I will not cooperate. If you jointly invest, I will not shoot you unless I kick you out!
At the end of last year, former entertainment industry veteran Ji Wei Suji criticized Zhou Xingchi and called for Optoelectronics to ban him. Xiang Taiye jumped up and down.
Ever since "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" became a hit, Xiang Tai became even more unhappy. They should have had a share of the profits.
In particular, "Mermaid" signed a contract with Han and Tang Dynasties for a sky-high guaranteed price, and the huge profits made her even more jealous.
Huaguoxing has declined, and Zhou Xingchi's Bigo Group has a market value ten times that of Huaguoxing due to the huge sales of "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" and the sky-high price of "Mermaid".
...
China Film Group plans to turn "The Founding of the Army" into a war epic, recreating the Yuzhang Uprising and Autumn Harvest Uprising on the screen in the style and scale of a Hollywood blockbuster.
Xiang Huaqiang wants to be serious and make "Legend of the Gods" a real mythical blockbuster, and make a lot of money in such a huge market.
They were all stimulated by the huge sales of "Operation Red Sea"!
Also stimulated was Kuailu CEO Shi Jianxiang. Although he had already made a big fortune through his small loan platform, he also needed legitimate income from movies and TV series.
Shi Jianxiang also decided to spend tens of millions more real money on the production of the movie. He also communicated with several producers and directors and asked them to make it carefully and make it into a Hollywood-style war blockbuster.
Compared with the money he made himself, tens of millions are small amounts of money.
"Operation Red Sea" became a big hit, and the market for military movies will become even bigger. If "The Blast" can also be a big hit, it will also be of great use to him in making money in the future.
Currently, I only have one copy of "Ip Man 3". I wanted to buy some of the "Operation Red Sea" and "Fengshen" series before but was rejected. Shi Jianxiang is worried that there are no good projects.
Now there is "Bombing", although it is not as useful as "Operation Red Sea", but as a war movie, the lineup is so strong, and then this shareholder style will promote it hard, and the appearance will be lost.
In a mansion in a high-end villa area in Beijing, Fan Binbin and Li Chen were also discussing similar matters.
"Do you promise Lu Jianming?"
On the sofa, Li Chen looked at his girlfriend helplessly.
Lu Jianming from Spring and Autumn Pictures contacted him some time ago and wanted to invest in a movie with him, maybe a military movie.
Forget about military movies. "Wolf Warrior" and "Operation Red Sea" were huge hits. Everyone knows that such movies have great potential, but the cost of military war movies is too high. All parties are thinking about it.
However, Lu Jianming still wants Li Chen to be the director. Isn’t this nonsense!
People are getting more and more strange these days. Except for a few genuine directors, it is difficult for them to get big investments, but actors are so welcome to change careers and become directors.
Previously, Han Han's "The End of Time" was purchased by Bernard at a high price with guarantee, and "Left Ear" and "Gardenia Blossoms" were also sold in advance with guarantee.
The recent new movies of Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are even more outrageous, both selling 800 million yuan.
800 million, Feng Xiaogang has not even reached this box office!
In just two years, the entertainment industry has changed drastically.
If he was asked to be the director, he would direct a crappy show. Li Chen felt helpless when he thought about it.
Fan Binbin sat a little further, took his arm, and persuaded him like a little woman, "You're stupid. With such a good opportunity, you may not be able to change your career after a while. Being a director is much better than being an actor."
, only the director has real independence."
"You don't want to do it, but I still want to. Zhao Wei can make movies, why can't I!"
Fan Binbin was also a little angry when he remembered that one of the former four-time double skaters had successfully become a director and a director.
If this was not a military movie, a woman, or a woman with no experience at all, would be the director. It would be so nonsense that Fan Binbin would have thought of it himself.
However, Li Chen also has a high exposure rate in Running Man. As the heroine, this husband and wife team is also beneficial to the promotion of the movie.
Li Chen also knows that in the industry, capital is at the top and actors are at the bottom. Even the most popular actors are nothing in front of capital unless they themselves become capital.
However, he also knew why Lu Jianming came to him. He shook his head and said to Fan Binbin, "Lu Jianming came here because of his connections with my family. This matter is not easy to handle, and my family may not be able to help."
When making military films, the military cannot be bypassed. No matter whether it is a branch of the military or a military region, there must be someone to support it.
Fan Binbin said, "You are promoting the image of the army. Why don't you allow it? This time Lu Jianming wants to make a movie about the air force. Think about Tom Cruise's "Top Gun" in the 1980s. It was also a movie about the air force. It has greatly improved The image of the American soldier.”
The Navy's Special Forces "Operation Red Sea" was filmed, and the Army's "Wolf Warrior" was filmed. This time Lu Jianming asked Li Chen to film the Air Force Special Forces.
Although he was not sure whether his family would agree to this, under Fan Binbin's persuasion, Li Chen agreed to invest in the Chinese version of "Top Gun" and serve as the director.
After all, it’s impossible to enter this industry without some ideas.
What's more, Li Chen had just signed a gambling agreement with Hua Yi, and he was exhausted in less than a year. It would be much easier if there was a big-selling movie.
