"Zhelong ... 33.5 billion US dollars, is it difficult?"
When receiving a call from the cousin Lin Lin from the crew, Sun Peng was drinking the mother -in -law and cooked the chicken soup for the afternoon.
It's just cheap.
"snort!"
Just when Sun Peng put down the soup bowl, the father-in-law beside him suddenly snorted coldly.
Drinking the soup and saying that it was difficult to say that 33.5 billion was like this, Zheng Tianliang's heart was on fire, and he wanted to slap him!
Instinctively sensing a hint of coolness, Sun Peng subconsciously turned sideways.
At this time, Lin Lin's anxious voice also passed from the phone: "It's not difficult to be 33.5 billion? That is not Huaxia Coin, but the US dollar! What do you think your kid think?
The numbers are your expectations, so you don’t have to say them in public, right? Do you know that if you don’t reach them, they will even fall far behind..."
"Haha, what will happen?"
Before his cousin could finish what he said, Sun Peng suddenly interjected and asked: "Are you saying that my reputation is not worthy of my name and that I have exhausted all my talents? Or are you saying that I am too arrogant and arrogant and not worth the investment of film companies? And then I will really do it in the future."
No one is looking for me to write the script? "
"..."
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Zheng Tianliang, who originally had an opinion on his face, also closed his mouth.
Not to mention that the final total box office did not reach 3.5 billion US dollars, what if one or two of them failed and even the production investment could not be recovered? Could it be said that the input-output ratio is among the top in the entertainment industry all year round, or even
Will Lao Bai, who once topped the global entertainment power rankings, be abandoned by film companies because of this?
Haha, are you kidding?
Who would be willing to give up just these two series: The Little Wizard and The Little Magician? There are also the rights to adapt the picture books by Lao Bai. Who wouldn’t drool after reading them and desperately want to get one?
And after waiting for a moment, Sun Peng shrugged and said with a smile: "Besides, how do you know that these four movies of mine will not earn a box office of 3.5 billion US dollars? None of the movies have been released, so everything is possible.
!”
Between words, Sun Peng's face was full of confidence.
The box office of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" on earth is about 750 million U.S. dollars, which is almost negligible in China, but what about this world? It's a Western story through and through, coupled with the huge production of Heimens Pictures
With the investment, and the fame of the original author, Sun Peng thinks that at least it should not be worse than the box office on earth, right? Including the domestic box office, will it only stop at one billion US dollars?
The global box office of "The Mummy" was only about US$400 million, but that was US$400 million in 1999. If inflation is taken into account, it would have almost doubled. And the same Western core story, but replaced by a Chinese film company
Production, even if the overseas market has a huge discount of 300 million, it is normal, plus China’s local price of 300 to 400 million should not be too much, right?
These two movies alone have cost at least 17.8 billion US dollars, and a better performance of 2 billion US dollars is no exaggeration!
Similar to "The Mummy", the animation "Mulan" had a box office of 300 million U.S. dollars on earth, but that was in 1998. And this result was able to break into the top ten of the annual global box office list back then.
If it's in the top ten at the box office, can you dare to talk if you don't have a billion dollars? Moreover, in this world, Laobai's animation adaptation of picture books has almost become a brand. Why can't we look forward to the performance of "Mulan" in other countries?
Leaving aside overseas markets, how much box office can China’s first animated masterpiece with a real investment of hundreds of millions of dollars bring in domestically?
To be honest, Sun Peng didn't even dare to guess!
The only thing that makes Sun Peng really unsure is actually the "Hero" directed by himself.
"Hero" is a milestone in Chinese film and television on earth. It can be regarded as the beginning of the blockbuster era of Chinese movies, at least relatively speaking. In the United States, it has also won the box office championship for two weeks, Japan and South Korea.
I have also climbed to the top...
Even for audiences in this world, martial arts is an unprecedented experience... well, martial arts blockbusters are an unprecedented experience.
Isn’t freshness a weapon for winning?
What's more, there is the prestige bonus of China's ancient costume masterpieces. The scenes shot by Wei Xiaolin are so powerful. Anyway, in Sun Peng's opinion, they are only better than Lao Mouzi. Why can't the box office explode? It's just that compared to others
Sun Peng was not sure about the three films. However, if calculated this way, 3.5 billion might be a bit difficult, but 3 billion Sun Peng thinks it is quite reliable.
But this time, Lin Lin expressed doubts about his words: "Even if you think it is possible, you don't have to say it in advance, right? You don't have to look at the excitement on the Internet these days... I have been busy.
I don’t know about making movies, but when I saw it on my mobile phone today, I was really shocked!”
When he said these words, Sun Peng could hear the worry in his cousin's tone.
"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is about to be released, and the topic on the Internet about the box office of 3.5 billion US dollars has not been weakened, but has become more and more lively. Anyone with a little experience knows that this kind of popularity is probably not just a matter of time.
It can only be promoted by the attention of movie fans, and there must be many forces secretly joining in!
Lin Lin has been in the industry for several years, so how could she not be clear about it?
In fact, Sun Peng also knows these things very well. He doesn't really close the door and be an otaku, especially these days he is also busy with the promotion of "Hero" and "Mulan", how can he be unclear?
only……
"Don't worry, sister, it's okay!"
Thinking of his thoughts that day, Sun Peng smiled slightly and said calmly: "Since I dare to say that, no matter the success or failure of The Favorite, I must be ready to deal with it... You, keep filming in a down-to-earth manner,
Seriously improve your acting skills, and don’t worry about these things! Haha, I’m waiting for your acting skills to improve greatly in the future so that I can write two difficult scripts for you. I always film these fight scenes and the like, at night.
It’s so untechnical!”
"Bah! When did I lose my acting skills?!"
Sun Peng's words immediately made Lin Lin furious, and she yelled angrily on the phone.
"Hahaha……"
While listening to his cousin's complaints, Sun Peng laughed loudly.
Just now she heard Sun Peng call her "Sister", in fact, Lin Lin already knew that this kid must have made up his mind and could not change it; while Sun Peng, after chatting with his cousin for a few words, was originally a little dull.
My mood immediately relaxed a lot, and the expression on my face relaxed a lot.
After the two chatted for a while, Lin Lin finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since you know what's going on, I won't say anything more, Xiaopeng...be careful in the next period of time.
."
"Don't worry, sister."
Calling Lin Lin sister again, Sun Peng nodded and said seriously: "I know what I am doing and what I want to do. It doesn't really matter whether the so-called 3.5 billion goal can be achieved this time.
The important thing is that the process in between can teach me a lot of things..."
