In fact, when the first weekend box office results were released, the stocks of the three giants had already skyrocketed.
Next, when the global box office exceeded 1.5 billion and 2 billion, the stocks of the three companies rose again, and then rose again when they were offline. And in the process, Lao Bai joined the crew of "Captain China 2"
, the news of the official start of filming has also allowed the three giants to reap related dividends...
"Added together, the Forbidden City has increased by at least 30%, and the Lotus has increased by 35%!"
During a break in the filming, Lin Lin couldn't help but whisper: "The one with the biggest increase should be Paramount, at least 60%... In fact, compared to when we first started working together with you, Paramount's stock has already increased.
With an increase of 17%, it can be said that Lao Bai saved Paramount!"
"Haha, is it that exaggerated?"
Seeing Sun Peng's indifferent expression, Lin Lin suddenly curled her lips and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? So far, the total box office of the Avengers series has exceeded 7 billion US dollars, and this is just the first phase!
According to the plan you asked them to announce, there will be at least two more stages and more than fifteen movies... What does this mean, do you know?"
After thinking for a moment, Sun Peng smiled and asked: "Hmm...20 billion US dollars in box office?"
"Two million? Do you really dare to think about it?"
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Lin laughed and said: "But don't tell me, if we make a few more big productions like "Avengers", 20 billion US dollars might really be achievable!"
"Hahaha……"
Seeing his cousin's face as if everything he said was right, Sun Peng burst into laughter.
He knew that this "future" was indeed a bit unbelievable.
Fifteen movies, with a box office of 20 billion US dollars, means that each movie must have at least 13.4 billion US dollars! And in the past three years, how many movies in the Avengers series have been able to reach this level?
Besides "Iron Man 2", is there anything else?
Not only that, but even movies like "The Incredible Hulk" and "Eagle Eye", if there was no big market in China, the global box office would be only 300-400 million! And if it weren't for Lao Bai's name, they would probably be in China.
It is also difficult to exceed one billion Chinese dollars, and it will not have much impact on the global box office.
So if this trend continues and each film is expected to earn a box office of US$13.4 billion, it means that every subsequent film will have the same performance as "Avengers" in China.
Haha, how is this possible?!
Lin Lin blinked and decided not to discuss this issue with her cousin. Seeing the contempt in her eyes, Sun Peng just smiled again and said nothing more.
Is it impossible?
Before the box office results of "Captain America 3" and "Thor 3" came out, Sun Peng always felt that it was unrealistic. But then he found that when Marvel's fan base was established, in addition to "Ant-Man" and "Doctor Strange",
In addition to the "average" performance of new heroes as always, it seems to be commonplace for independent films of established heroes to have a global box office of over 1 billion.
Of course, the Chinese market is responsible for this, but more importantly, it is the huge success of Fulian’s IP!
This world has the monster-level market of China, and the Avengers also have Chinese superstars joining them. Of course, more importantly, they have Lao Bai as their planner and screenwriter. Why can't they get a box office of 20 billion US dollars?
At least in Sun Peng's view, even 20 billion is just a pass.
It's just that Sun Peng is not interested in explaining these things to others. He just wants to wait quietly for the Avengers series to be reborn in this world, and then quietly watch whether they can shine again and become an unprecedented super series...
…
"Director Sun, it's almost ready over there, and our time is almost up!"
While Sun Peng was chatting with his cousin, the assistant director who had been busy hurriedly walked to his side and whispered.
"Ah? Oh, okay, thank you for your hard work."
Smiling at the assistant director, Sun Peng looked at his watch, nodded and said, "It's almost seven o'clock... How long does it take to get to the beach? How long does it take to get everything ready after boarding the ship?"
"If we leave now, we can start shooting in about an hour and a half."
"Very good, tell everyone to get on the bus!"
After roughly calculating the time, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction.
Today, we have to shoot the scene where the Chinese captain falls from the sky and rescues the hostages on the ship. Sun Peng's idea is not to waste time, three days... it is best to get all the shots in two days - it is very difficult, but he plans to give it a try.
After all, all the shots are stored in his mind, so he can see the actor's performance without thinking or trying.
Moreover, Wei Xiaolin had been on the ship for several days in advance to prepare. Sun Peng felt that if nothing unexpected happened today, there should be no problem.
So when he saw the leading actor Lang Chen on the bus, Sun Peng specially warned: "Xiaolang, you may have to work harder today. Let's race against time and try to get it done within three days. How about?"
"Don't worry, Director Sun."
Taking a deep breath, Lang Chen nodded confidently: "There is no problem with me, you can do whatever you want!"
Thinking of the split-shot script he saw today, Lang Chen's heart burned.
He now has a lot of experience in shooting action movies, so he can naturally see how wonderful the storyboards drawn by Sun Peng are!
Falling from the sky, running wildly on the boat, defeating almost all opponents with one move, it's so cool!
And the use of long lenses will add majestic momentum to this section!
So let alone shooting within three days, even if Sun Peng wanted to be more crazy and shoot all the scenes in two days or even one day, Lang Chen would risk his life to follow suit!
He had a hunch that perhaps "Captain China 2" would be the key to his success in becoming a world-class star!
Yes, he was eagerly looking forward to it.
When "Kill Bill" and "The Matrix" were filmed, Lang Chen was just a supporting role. Although he was the leading actor in "Assassin's League", everyone knew that the most dazzling character in the film was Lin Lin, so that film actually
It’s an action blockbuster tailor-made for her cousin by Sun Peng!
It wasn't until "Captain of China" that Lang Chen became the real male protagonist of Lao Bai movies!
It's a pity that the box office performance was mediocre, especially in Europe and the United States, where the reviews were not particularly high.
So it wasn't until "Avengers" was released, raking in more than 2 billion U.S. dollars at the global box office, and gaining a huge reputation, that Lang Chen's "Captain China" was truly accepted by the world - everyone can see that.
The souls in the movie are actually Iron Man and Captain China, even the Black Widow played by Lin Lin cannot compare!
It was at this time that Lang Chen truly realized the importance of this role!
Now "Captain China 2" is written and directed by Lao Bai himself, with an investment of up to 1.4 billion Chinese dollars. How could Lang Chen not know that this is the most important moment in his life?
