On Saturday afternoon, the crew of "Dragon Inn" held a celebration banquet.
With a box office of 940 million, the cost was only 70 to 80 million, which is a huge profit. Moreover, after the domestic box office exploded, distributors from at least a dozen countries in Asia came to ask for the introduction of this film.
It looks like a cool movie, and Sun Peng’s old friend Golden Eagle Video also directly offered a buyout fee of 50 million for online broadcasting...
Of course, at this price, Sun Peng would never do it!
So after asking his second sister to negotiate the sharing contracts with several major video websites, Sun Peng simply threw Golden Eagle Video aside. He is becoming less and less interested in Golden Eagle Video now, and the manager of the copyright department seems to always
I thought that after the two sides collaborated with Criminal Minds, Lao Bai should hand over whatever new stuff he releases to them, and he always opens his mouth to buy it out, but never keeps his mouth shut. Even Zhao Jinxiang is now criticizing it.
Of course, many reporters would come to interview the celebration party arranged by Forbidden City Pictures.
After going through the lively process as usual, saying a bunch of so-called thoughts and thanks, and sending off the smiling reporters with a red envelope, Sun Peng waved his hand, and people of thirty or forty arrived together and made reservations.
A good hotel, good wine and good food were served in a smooth manner.
After the simple opening remarks, the big box became lively.
The two directors, Sun Peng and Wei Xiaolin, naturally took turns to toast and thank the other creators for their efforts; and for this famous director, screenwriter, and others, of course, they also had the idea of continuing to be friends or even cooperate, and they also divided their positions.
They took turns coming over to chat, and after struggling for more than half an hour, they finally calmed down...
"Director Sun, is there a sequel to Inn?"
When the wine was in the middle of the night, Ni Yue'er, who had just drunk a lot, sat next to Sun Peng and asked with charming eyes.
"Plop!"
Looking at Ni Yue'er's charming face at close range, Sun Peng's little heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He quickly took a deep breath to calm it down. But the heartbeat was the heartbeat, and Sun Peng was not confused.
He smiled and shook his head and said: "Sorry, I'm afraid there won't be a sequel to this movie in a short time...but it's not impossible in a few years, haha!"
"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has been waiting for more than 20 years, who knew?
Hearing what Sun Peng said, not only Ni Yue'er, but also He Qingfang next to him had a look of disappointment on his face. That is to say, the other leading actor Xiao Lin Jiahui was better, and her expression was always calm, just like her usual.
Due to their related interests, the three leading actors reacted differently.
In the movie, Mo Chou, played by Xiao Lin Jiahui, died, but Zhou Huaian, played by He Qingfang, and Jin Xiangyu, played by Ni Yuer, are still alive.
"A year ago, the situation was reversed."
Seeing Ni Yue'er's disappointed look, Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When Dragon Gate had not yet been filmed, he had to ask Ni Yue'er specifically, even though she was not well-known in the film industry and mainly appeared in TV series; but now, the other party has taken the initiative to ask about the sequel, and got
After the negative answer, there was still a look of disappointment on his face, undisguised disappointment...
Fortunately, after a moment, Ni Yue'er's expression returned to normal, and she asked with a smile: "Although it is a bit regretful, it is already an honor for me to be able to star in the first martial arts movie... Director Sun, if you need help with your new movie,
Just ask, I can make a guest appearance at any time."
Ni Yuer is still very grateful to Sun Peng.
Originally, she only liked the role of Jin Xiangyu, so she starred in the movie Dragon Gate, but Ni Yue'er never expected that she would win nearly one billion at the box office! From the time it was released to now, the number of Ni Yue'er's fans has skyrocketed by five to six hundred
Wan, it can be regarded as reaching a new level in one breath!
And more importantly, it's the movie's reputation.
"Dragon Gate Inn", which has just been released, still maintains a high score of 8.8 on cfdt, even 0.1 points higher than before. And as the pioneering martial arts movie, the action design, graphics and soundtrack of "Dragon Gate Inn"
The style has been highly praised by people in the industry. Obviously, it is only a matter of time before it enters the ranks of classics.
and……
After the success of Dragon Gate, who still can’t see the potential of this new movie genre?
As the founder of martial arts culture, he is also the top screenwriter and emerging director... According to Ni Yuer's agent, this guy has a bright future and is the kind of person who must be friends with...
"Haha, I won't be polite if you need me!"
After grinning, Sun Peng suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, this movie is a big hit at the box office... Ahem, it can't be considered a big hit, but after all, compared with the cost, it is still a big hit.
I made some small profits..."
"Oh, Director Sun, isn't this too modest?"
Hearing what Sun Peng said in such a roundabout way, even Xiao Lin Jiahui, who always showed off his iceberg, laughed: "The cost of tens of millions has earned nearly one billion in box office, or is it just a small profit? Just your box office dividends are enough
I will earn a lifetime income, not to mention the subsequent broadcast rights and peripheral income."
Regarding Xiaolin Jiahui's words, the other two protagonists also nodded their heads in deep agreement.
It makes me sad to think about it, the gap is too big!
"Cough, cough!"
Sun Peng coughed twice again, and then smiled: "So, didn't I give you red envelopes?"
"Yo? Are you really giving me a red envelope?"
Even though she had guessed this possibility in advance, Ni Yueer still asked in surprise.
Generally speaking, if the box office of a movie exceeds expectations, especially if it exceeds too much, red envelopes must be given to the main creators. This is an old rule in the Chinese film industry. But for Ni Yue'er, and of course He Qingfang and the others,
I have heard of this kind of thing from others, but who has experienced it themselves?
"Haha, of course!"
Winking at Ni Yue'er, Sun Peng leaned forward and laughed softly: "The red envelopes for you three and Director Wei will be given after the celebration party is over. Don't be impatient for now!"
In addition to the three leading actors and two directors, there were also Sun Peng's assistant Liu Chang and Sima Gang sitting at this table. There were no outsiders, so Sun Peng didn't have to worry too much when he spoke.
"..."
Before the astonished Ni Yue'er could ask a question, Sun Peng had already laughed and walked out from the surrounding of the three people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet!"
When he reached a slightly open place, Sun Peng clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "We will talk later, let me announce something first!"
The director and boss came forward and everyone quickly became quiet.
"As you all know, our film did very well this time and was called a dark horse!"
After a pause, Sun Peng laughed loudly and said: "But you should also know that when the movie premiered, someone asked me to estimate the box office. In fact, the number I mentioned was still higher than the current results...
"
"Hahaha……"
There was a bang, and there was laughter in the box.
How much did Sun Peng say at the beginning?
One billion!
But at that time, almost no one believed that a martial arts movie could get this box office, but look now... If luck was better and the martial arts background was thicker, wouldn't one billion be easily captured? So now listen to Sun Peng's words
After saying these words, many people felt a sense of pride in their hearts - this movie was made by their hands!
"Anyway, we succeeded!"
After everyone laughed for a while, Sun Peng took a deep breath and said loudly: "And since I have earned more box office than expected, I naturally have to share it with everyone, so..."
"oh……"
This time, before Sun Peng could finish his words, many people in the box cheered.
Needless to say, everyone guessed it!
So after blinking, Sun Peng stopped trying to be mysterious and said loudly: "Okay, then I won't talk nonsense. After a while, everyone will consciously receive the red envelope...Quiet! Quiet, gentlemen! I also
I have something serious to tell you, please be quiet first!"
Under Sun Peng's waving hands, the box finally became quiet.
After the box became quiet again, Sun Peng was afraid that these people were only thinking about the bonus, so he simply said loudly and very quickly: "Okay, everyone knows that I will make a new movie soon, and it will be an action movie.
, so a lot of manpower is needed! If everyone has a schedule from March to May, after receiving the red envelope, go to Teacher Sima Gang to report it, and we will continue to cooperate..."
