Chapter 418 Can the sequel of Wolf Warrior earn 100 million?
Su Yang tapped the [+] sign lightly.
As he clicked the [+] sign, a prompt popped up in front of him:
[Whether to add points three times. The probability of failure to add points three times will be greatly increased, and the item will be completely damaged after failure.]
Su Yang, who had the experience of not being "sprayed" last time, simply ignored the prompt, picked up Xiaoha and ran away!
He tucked Little Ha under his arm, ignored Little Ha's barking request to find Janet, and ran all the way back to the door of the villa.
Arriving at the door of the villa, Su Yang put Xiaoha down and clicked on the [Yes] option in front of him.
As a result, as soon as he confirmed it, he saw Xiao Ha rushing out of the villa like an arrow, and then running towards Janet, "Daughter-in-law! I'm here to protect you!"
Then... Janet's whole body exploded with a "Boom!". Dust flew up and air waves rolled!
Xiaoha, this silly dog, was blown away by the air wave before he could reach Janet's side.
It didn't weigh as much as Su Yang, so it was sprayed back from the original path and hit the door hard.
Janet's explosion seemed to be particularly loud this time. The air wave directly affected the water of the swimming pool. There was only a sound of "crash~" and the swimming pool set off a wave, which then hit the shore heavily.
Along with the explosion of air waves, Janet's body also flashed with a strong orange light, soared into the air and stood still in the air.
After that, strips of orange light were pulled out from his body. Those strips of light seemed to be alive, wrapping around him layer by layer, and finally turned into a cocoon of light.
A countdown also appeared on the light cocoon: 59:59...
Su Yang, who had previous experiences, knew: the extra points were successful. All that was left was to wait quietly.
At this time, Little Ha had just gotten up from the ground and shook his head, then turned to look at Janet.
It could be seen from its eyes that it was really worried about Janet.
Su Yang walked over, knelt down, patted Xiao Ha's dog's head and asked, "Are you worried?"
Xiao Ha glanced at Su Yang and said, "If your wife survives the disaster, won't you worry?"
Su Yang said, "I don't have a wife."
After saying that, he silently added in his heart: You are not a wife either...
Little Ha didn't know what Su Yang was thinking. He looked at Su Yang with disdain and said, "Single dog. That's right."
Su Yang:...
Go ahead! I was despised by a dog?!
And they are all dogs, why should they hurt each other!
What’s wrong with singles? They have no human rights!
And... I am obviously a diamond king, so why am I single!
These two are not the same species!
Just as Su Yang was complaining, Xiao Di's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Master. Li Zijun sent an email. It is a movie planning document and script, as well as post-production special effects requirements. Do you want to
Don’t you want to take a look?”
Su Yang happened to have time, so he said, "Okay. Then print it out and ask the little demon beans to send it to me for a look."
"Okay, Master."
As Xiao Di confirmed, soon, several little demon beans ran down from the villa while shouting "Doudou Dou" and holding a document.
They walked quickly on two short legs and came to Su Yang, and then gave the documents to Su Yang.
Su Yang ticked their big chins as a gesture of thanks.
After thanking Little Demon Bean, Su Yang picked up the plan and script, without even looking at them, he put them directly on the tip of Xiao Ha's nose and said, "Come here, smell it."
Xiao Ha gave Su Yang a husky gaze, "Can you be a human being?"
Su Yang:???
What happened to me!
Xiao Ha stretched out his cloth paw and pointed at the light cocoon in the sky, "When your wife gives birth to a baby, are you still in the mood to work?"
Su Yang:...
Who has learned all these fallacious theories?
Su Yang felt like he was reminded of an advertisement: The dog always disobeys, what should I do? Just give it a good beating!
Immediately afterwards, Su Yang used practical actions to tell Xiao Ha the fact that "even if your wife is Janet, I dare to beat you to death"!
So under Su Yang's coercion, Xiao Ha covered his head and could only lower his head to smell the movie plan.
It twitched its nose at the movie planner a few times, and then suddenly froze, "Woof?"
Su Yang paid attention to its expression and asked curiously, "How is it? Is it worth investing in?"
Xiao Ha nodded like he was pounding garlic, "It's worth it. I feel like I can earn two copies of "Fighting Buddha"."
Two fights against Buddha?
Su Yang was startled.
One fight is worth 40 million, two is more than 80 million.
Is this movie so profitable?
To be honest, Su Yang didn't care much about this project before. After all, in his opinion, good movie projects have been snatched up long ago, and it's not his turn at all.
People like this who come to your door are generally not very good, and they ask themselves to exchange special effects for investment, which is even more unreliable, and they want nothing.
So from the bottom of his heart, Su Yang was not optimistic about this project.
It's just that Xiao Ha's [Potential Smell] has five opportunities to judge investment potential every day, but he doesn't need it at ordinary times. Su Yang wanted to give it a try without losing money, so he let Xiao Ha smell it.
The result was unexpected! I actually won!
Just when Su Yang was thinking this, Xiao Ha said again, "And it's not just that."
Su Yang looked at it, "What do you mean?"
There was actually a trace of tangle on Xiaoha's husky face, and he said, "I don't really understand. Anyway, I smell that this project has great potential in the future. But... it's vague. It's not clear. But the potential is like
It looks bigger than this project. I don’t understand what’s going on.”
Huh...
What does this mean? Is there potential behind the project?
Isn't a movie just a project? If there is another one later...it will be a sequel?
Could the sequel still earn more than 80 million?
No, according to Xiao Ha, the potential for the sequel is greater than this project.
The potential is greater than earning more than 80 million...
How much is that? Is it 100 million?!
Su Yang was shocked by his thoughts. This was already a small goal!
The sequel of this movie can actually make a small profit? Su Yang feels that poverty limits his imagination...
But no matter what, with Xiaoha's confirmation, Su Yang felt that he must participate in this project!
With this in mind, he picked up the project plan and took a quick look at it. He found out that the movie was called "Wolf Warriors" and it was a military theme.
Director Wu Feng is an actor himself, and he has been transitioning into a military role in the past few years, so he has a broad audience base.
The investment for the entire film is roughly 150 million. The overall special effects production cost is estimated to be around 60 million, accounting for nearly half of the investment in the film.
Su Yang understood. No wonder the director wanted to use special effects fees to invest in the shares, because the fees were too expensive...
Su Yang calculated in his mind.
Assuming that Xiao Ha's profit prediction is extremely accurate, then the profit of this movie is roughly 80 million, plus the production cost, it will be a box office share of 240 million.
Working backwards, the total box office is about 550-560 million.
And if you really invest in special effects, it will be equivalent to occupying 40% of the shares, and you will receive 96 million yuan. The net profit will be 36 million yuan, which is 36 million yuan!
If there is a sequel later, I still invest the same proportion and earn tens of millions more. It is very likely that after two movies are made, my profit will be over 100 million!
This movie is worth it!
In fact, because he had only half a foot in the entertainment industry, Su Yang also understood a lot of things and knew that movies like "The Fighting Buddha" are actually rare.
Most movies in the entertainment industry actually make a loss, a small number of movies can make some money, a very few can become hits, and the remaining extremely rare ones can make a big profit out of a small amount.
And "Fighting the Buddha" is obviously a classic with a small and broad scope.
But this is taking advantage of Chen Min and Lin Cong's feelings in the hearts of the audience for more than 20 years, and riding on the popularity of the big IP "Journey to the West". They even paid for 6 minutes of iQiyi specifically for insurance, which is a buggy system.
This result was achieved only by tailoring the early stage plot.
But this kind of movie is hard to come by.
In particular, the greater the cost of a movie, the greater the risk. Although it will make more money, it is also likely to lose everything.
There are many film and television companies that have gone bankrupt because their movies failed at the box office.
Now when you encounter a movie that can "stable" earn close to 100 million, you would be a fool not to take it!
In fact, strictly speaking, the production ratio of this movie is not high. After all, it has not even doubled the profit, only 50% profit, and the investment is large, so the risk is also high.
In addition, Su Yang got to know the actor Wu Feng. This actor had actually directed a military-themed movie by himself, investing tens of millions, but the box office was only over 7 million.
With such a dark history, most people really don’t dare to invest.
but!
Who is Su Yang! He is a man with cheats! He has a small nose, so for him, it is not a risky investment, but a risk-free investment!
And because this is a series of movies, if you make money on this one, you can also earn money on the next one. It’s really great.
Therefore, Su Yang felt that he could plan the sequel of this film in advance. When signing the contract, he requested that he enjoy the right to invest the same proportion in the sequel.
Su Yang even feels that he can not only do special effects, but also do post-production. He can package the post-production together and have a higher investment share. By then, through two movies, he can make more money!
With this in mind, Su Yang called Li Zijun and said that he agreed to the project in principle, but planned to talk to the director of the project to see if there were other ways of cooperation.
After Li Zijun received Su Yang's confirmation, he said "I'll do it right away" and hung up the phone.
While Su Yang was busy investing in this movie, one hour passed unknowingly. As the countdown ended, countless cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the light cocoon that was originally floating quietly in the air, and then "
"Peng" exploded.
Following the explosion, a burst of orange light burst out!
