Chapter 25 On the eve of the movie’s release

The jet plane has traveled 25,000 miles, but Chen Yuanguang feels that he has spent centuries.

American itself is nothing new, but his return to China this time is equivalent to being officially pushed onto the stage of the times.

Although he knew from the day he got the ticket to the future that sooner or later such a day would come, and sooner or later he would become the focus of public opinion and the center of the storm, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

It is still because of this reason, but as an online writer, he really looks forward to seeing his works moved to the big screen.

If "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur" was a plagiarized future work, he wouldn't expect it so much, precisely because it is his own work and his own hard work.

“Welcome, this is Mr. Chen, he is indeed a talented person.” Jenny was very polite to Chen Yuanguang and Lin Jia.

When Lin Jia saw her like that, he guessed that the other party had seen the samples in advance and was very satisfied with the quality of the samples.

This kind of internal film viewing meeting is said to be an internal film viewing meeting. As the producer, Goose Factory, their executives must have watched it first.

Lin Jia stretched out his hand on behalf of Chen Yuanguang: "Jenny, long time no see."

Jenny's face remained unchanged, and she still had a professional fake smile: "Ms. Lin, celebrate in advance that our cooperation can be a great success."

The eight million investment amount of "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur" was provided by the Lin Jia family The film and television investment company under the group invested on their behalf, and they signed a separate dividend agreement with Chen Yuanguang. Chen Yuanguang enjoyed 80% of the investment amount in dividends, and the film and television company enjoyed 20%.

To put it simply, Chen Yuanguang can share 80% of the money he earns after subtracting the cost. If he loses, he does not have to bear the loss. It is a bit like a gambling agreement.

Jenny didn't know it. She thought Lin Jia had taken most of the benefits, so she wanted to get close to Chen Yuanguang and plant a nail between the two.

She had seen the samples in advance, and combined with Chen Yuanguang’s academic strength, Jenny had a hunch that the other party would soar into the sky.

Goose Factory doesn't mind investing in advance and signing the follow-up IP of "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur".

"I believe in Yuan Guang and I also believe in Goose Chang's ability." Lin Jia gave the same professional fake smile.

Many people came here, and a small screening venue with 100 people was full.

Since Wolf Warrior 2, popular movies have declined, and last year's "I'm Not the God of Medicine" further proved this.

Traffic movies can only make money, but they cannot make big money or become big hits.

If you gain the box office of popular star fans, you will inevitably lose most of the normal audiences.

Goose Factory has high hopes for "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur", hoping that it will become as popular as "Detective Chinatown", so the protagonists do not use popular stars, but are all acting talents.

The only character who used a popular celebrity was the character based on Chen Yuanguang.

Chen Yuanguang went through it all in his mind, but couldn't connect the other person's face and name. It wasn't until the starring list was shown that he made the connection: "It turns out to be him."

After the movie was shown, everyone was silent for a few seconds, and then the applause started to ring out, because this movie is very exciting and combines science fiction very well.

There are not many science fiction elements, but the combination with reasoning is very exciting, and it is full of rationality, logic and plot.

“Goose Factory is indeed very generous. Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur actually invited Guo Fan to be the director.” Chen Yuanguang said with emotion.

The Wandering Earth was released at the beginning of this year, with a box office of 4.6 billion. This movie not only made Wolf Warrior a god, but director Guo Fan also became a representative figure in the science fiction film industry. When he was still in the online literary world, he was lucky enough to get involved in a group of great writers. Writers in the great group often came out to discuss whether a certain big brother's work in the group had been adapted into a film or television work.

They will chat in the group about which director and which actor. If the producer invests heavily, other authors in the group will congratulate that writer, and his hard work has not been in vain. .

Later, everyone gradually stopped talking about this, because they found that the more generous they were, the more they liked to change the original work, and the more they liked to change the original work beyond recognition.

At that time, Chen Yuanguang was very envious of those masters who could be adapted. He thought that since he wrote a Tokyo romance novel, he would never have the chance to adapt it in his life.

Unexpectedly, not only was the work adapted, but a large amount of investment was made, and the original work was not changed much.

Lin Jia said: "Goose Factory has the strength. They have invested in many movies before, and they have also led the distribution of many movies. With the backing of Goose Factory, they have enough ability to recruit top-level talents.

The casting of Guo Fan was also expected of me. When Goose Factory signed him, The Wandering Earth had not yet been released

And for Guo Fan, The Wandering Earth is his first successful work. He needs more works to prove his box office appeal. The original work and script of "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur" are good, and with the Goose Factory as his backing, he will What happened next was nothing short of normal. ”

When The Wandering Earth was released, they waited until April to see it in the cinema. After the movie was over, foreigners applauded.

Even in the future Looking at this movie from a perspective, except for the poor graphics, everything else is top-notch, and its spiritual core is top-notch.

Chen Yuanguang asked: "I found that he didn't change my original work much because of you. Did you mention it to Goose Factory? "

Lin Jia shook his head: "How can I restrict Goose Factory to abide by the original work? This is too difficult.

I guess it’s because sci-fi reasoning has extremely high requirements on logic, and if he changed it he would overturn it all, so he didn’t change it at all.

It seems that he only added some emotional expressions between the boy and his father, and buried the thread of Detective Li’s past background, probably for the sake of sequels and extras. ”

“You should cooperate in interviews and road shows in Shenhai later. You will have many opportunities to chat with Director Guo. You can ask him what he thinks. ”

This kind of background is not in China, and the review goes very quickly.

When the movie was reviewed, Goose Factory’s marketing strategy had already begun.

"An undergraduate from Jiangsu University published two Nature articles in a row in one year, and he even won this award."

"Publishing top journals, writing novels, and making movies, this undergraduate can do all decathlons!"< br>
“The legendary life of the post-95 generation genius!”

After Goose Factory started their publicity machine, Chen Yuanguang’s name spread throughout China in almost just one week.

It is easy to check whether Nature is true or false, the Science Fiction Rising Star Award is also traceable, and film and television adaptations are about to be released. There is a lot of evidence to prove that these reports are true.

Public opinion was immediately ignited.

As Jiang University’s most famous alumnus, Lei Jun forwarded Jiang University’s official Weibo post about the matter and commented:

“We are both 20 years old, how can I be the same as my 20 years old? Why is there such a big age gap? Congratulations to my fellow students, I have bought "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur" and I will watch it this weekend!"
