Wu Feng just heard about this from his friend today. At that time, his friend was videotaping with him, with an inexplicable expression on his face, like teasing, pity, and joking. Anyway, it was very
of complexity.
Finally, his friend told him the bet between Su Yang and Liu Dabeard in detail. Of course, it was a jealous version.
After Wu Feng heard this, he was completely confused.
500 million at the box office?
How can it be?
Although he and Su Yang calculated the total cost of the film at 150 million, there was actually a lot of water in it, as it was all official quotes.
Just like Su Yang's 70 million yuan for special effects and post-production only cost more than 40 million yuan, Wu Feng's production costs were almost cut in half.
After all, tanks, weapons, venues, etc. are included in this. But with the independence of the Lingnan Military Region, all this money is saved.
Therefore, the final production cost of this movie is likely to be less than 100 million.
The production cost of 100 million yuan would be repaid with only about 250 million yuan, so this is also Wu Feng's psychological expectation.
In his mind, it would be good if he could earn around 200-300 million at the box office. This would allow him to recoup his losses, prove himself, and accumulate fans for the sequel. By then, he would be able to reverse his decline.
So after this, Wu Feng suddenly understood what was going on with his friend's complicated expression.
Five hundred million, that’s too bold to say. It’s doubled!
If there were really 500 million, he and Su Yang would make a lot of money, right?
After hanging up the phone with his friend, Wu Feng gradually calmed down. He thought about it carefully and guessed that Su Yang was probably pushed into a hurry at that time and said that was all.
So I didn't take it seriously and didn't complain.
After all, Su Yang gave him full trust when he needed support the most.
It was also because of this idea that Wu Feng called Su Yang to talk about the matter. Originally, he wanted to quietly tell Su Yang some unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, and by the way, see if there were any opportunities to remedy the situation, and help to make peace.
.
What he didn't expect was that... Su Yang actually said that he was serious. And he believed that the final box office would not be 500 million, but 600 million!
Wu Feng was really shocked.
He didn't say anything for a while, he was shocked by Su Yang!
Finally, he came back to his senses and said with a wry smile, "Brother Su, you are too optimistic."
Su Yang said confidently, "Kor Ang, I'm not optimistic. I'm serious. It's pointless for us to talk about this now. Everything will be revealed after the movie is released."
Wu Feng didn't say anything for a long time: Confident, too confident. My brother Su is simply too confident.
Su Yang seemed to be able to see through his thoughts and asked, "Brother Angkor, you don't have confidence in yourself, do you?"
Wu Feng was a very down-to-earth person and was very honest with Su Yang, "Brother Su, to be serious, I'm not not confident. I really think it won't reach 500 million or 600 million. If there are 2 or 300 million, the fever will be high."
It smells good." The last movie suffered such a heavy loss that Wu Feng himself didn't have any confidence.
Su Yang was much more confident than Wu Feng. He said decisively, "Okay. How about we also take a gamble?"
Wu Feng didn't expect that Su Yang actually planned to bet with him. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you betting on?"
Su Yang, "If our box office reaches 600 million, then I will have 10 points more investment quota for the sequel."
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng said nonchalantly, "Okay. No problem."
He really doesn't care.
One, he didn't think Su Yang would win.
Second, even if he wins, what’s the big deal? It’s a good thing that Su Yang is willing to invest more!
As a director, are you willing to spend your own money to make a movie? No one is willing.
Movies are a hugely profitable industry, but if you invest too much, you will lose everything. The risk is too great.
If you are a well-known director, you can not invest a penny and directly get a share of the box office: if you lose money, it belongs to the investor, and if you make a profit, he will share a large part of it.
This is the highest realm of director.
Those who invest their own money are either desperate directors or extremely confident directors.
But Wu Feng obviously does not have this confidence now.
So he agreed without hesitation and felt that he was not at a loss.
So, a small bet about "Wolf Warrior 2" was settled...
After hanging up the phone, Su Yang looked at the date schedule. There were still 10 days until Wolf Warrior was released. Wu Feng planned to start screening next week, so he could go to promote it.
With this in mind, he sent a few more singing videos he recorded last time to Douyin and Xunwo App.
Xunwo app has now been officially taken over by the team in Hangzhou. The operation is in full swing and the number of users has further increased. Not to mention Douyin, where Su Yang has always been a top v.
So when a video was posted, Su Yang's fans soon started commenting, forwarding and liking it.
As for the implantation of "Wolf Warrior", it also successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"War wolf? What are you fighting for?"
"What wolf?"
"For what?"
"I do not know..."
Now Wu Feng has almost no influence or appeal either as a director or an actor, so it is normal that no one knows about it. But Su Yang now has tens of millions of fans. With such a push, the publicity effect is still good, and he immediately made people aware of it.
Many people have paid attention to Wu Feng and Warrior Wolf.
In particular, Su Yang didn't just recommend it, but interspersed "Wolf Warrior" in the lyrics. Sometimes at the end of a sentence, two words were added: "Wolf Warrior".
"The war song enters the throat, the rust enters the wine, and a bowl of hot blood spills over the general's style. Hey Wolf Warrior!"
"I was familiar with it in my previous life, and when I look back in this life, I can laugh at the sky while sleeping above the flames. Oh Wolf Warrior!"
This kind of inexplicable internal implantation simply blinded the fans. In the same way, it also perfectly avoided the detection of the platform: even the platform probably does not know what "Wolf Warrior" is.
Therefore, it is visible to the naked eye that the search index for "Wolf Warrior" began to soar.
After doing all this, Su Yang returned home and went to the circus to check the results of this reincarnation circus competition.
This time in the competition, Zhao Licheng finally succeeded in breaking through. He won the first place and could become a resident actor.
Sitting on the "throne" of the circus, Su Yang opened his notes and clicked on the actor options.
The second page was opened quietly, and it showed a full-length illustration of Zhao Licheng. He looked a little miserable, his clothes were even more tattered, and there was blood on his face. It looked like he had been beaten again.
But no matter what, the result was good and he finally won.
So Su Yang clicked [Choose him as a resident actor] without hesitation.
Along with his confirmation, a prompt popped up in front of him.
[It will cost 200 kilograms of raw meat to make the renamed actor a permanent actor. Do you agree to pay?]
【agree】
As Su Yang chose to agree, an emotionless voice sounded in his mind, "Reverse reincarnation."
For a moment, the second page of the note spontaneously ignited without wind, and then turned into ashes. The note also automatically opened to the page of the actor list. Zhao Licheng's ranking came to the first place, and his avatar also successfully added a red color.
Seal of: Resident Actor.
Su Yang was not in a hurry to resurrect Zhao Licheng. He first looked at Zhao Licheng's loyalty evaluation: looking forward to it.
A very strange review.
But at least it's positive.
As for what Zhao Licheng was looking forward to, Su Yang knew that it was nothing more than resurrection and meeting his family...
With this in mind, Su Yang clicked on his profile picture again,
[Whether to resurrect this resident actor?]
【yes】
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Licheng's resurrection conditions popped up in front of Su Yang:
[The cost of this actor’s resurrection is: 100 kilograms of raw meat, 10 kilograms of bones, 1 piece of animal leather, and 15,000 points.]
15,000 points?!
When Su Yang saw this number of coins, he almost went crazy. This is too much!
3,000 for one star?
System, you can't cheat your father like this!
However, this business is a monopoly business. No matter how expensive it is, Su Yang can only accept it.
So he left the Circus of Reincarnation, called Janet, gave him the list of items, and asked him to purchase things.
Three hours later, Janet returned to the virtual space with a large bag of things.
Su Yang took inventory of the things. There was a lot of pork, a dozen big stick bones, and finally a piece of calf skin. Well, that's all.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Su Yang stood in front of the circus and silently said, "Pay."
As he paid, the contents of the bag disappeared out of thin air, leaving only an empty bag.
At the same time, a yellow teleportation array suddenly appeared in front of Su Yang. The teleportation array was composed of several patterns. There was a circle on the outside and a six-pointed star on the inside. At the point where the circle and the hexagram met.
Engraved with some strange-looking symbols.
The six-pointed star flashed, and the teleportation array slowly operated. After a moment, a figure appeared on the teleportation array: it was almost one meter high, but it looked very...long.
long?
Su Yang was shocked!
He quickly rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, only to find that an old scalper actually appeared in the teleportation array!
It has yellow fur all over its body, huge ox eyes, and a swaying tail. It is exactly the same as the ox that can be seen everywhere in the village!
Su Yang was stunned.
What the hell is this?
The one he summoned was obviously Zhao Licheng! Why did he conjure a cow for himself?
Where are my five-star talents?
Become a cow?
Su Yang was surprised, and so was the ox in front of him. It looked up at Su Yang, and then looked down at its own hoofs. The ox's eyes widened suddenly, and it blurted out a sentence in Mandarin, "I'll go!"
Su Yang's eyes lit up and he called out quickly, "Zhao Licheng, is that you?"
Huang Niu looked at Su Yang and nodded, "It's me, Mr. Su. No. I'm not sure if it's me. What's wrong with me?"
Seeing that he was also a little collapsed and surprised, Su Yang quickly pressed down the bull's head and said, "Don't worry. Don't worry. Let me think about it, think about it."
Su Yang pondered his thoughts. He had never "redeemed" a human being before, but he had resurrected the Little Demon Bean.
He still remembered that the reincarnation circus gave him instructions for resurrection. One of the rules was that after the actors were resurrected, their race would no longer be their original race and they would automatically become monsters, but they would retain 80% of their appearance and 20% of matching items and creatures.
