The box office in North America was a blast.
After all, it exceeded 100 million US dollars on the first day. Could it be that the domestic box office was average?
Su Yi didn't care, because this movie is both commercial and literary. Where there is literature and art, there is a plot that is incomprehensible.
If the audience is not interested in superheroes, they may choose not to watch the movie.
After all, the ticket price is not cheap.
Even if it's not high, it's normal. Su Yi doesn't care about it.
My future path lies in the system, and I have already achieved financial freedom. The reason why I don’t have luxury cars and mansions is because I am still in the system and cannot be too arrogant. But in fact, his current food and drink expenses are invisible. Zhong Ye has already surpassed the average person. This time, because of China Film's additional investment, Su Yi only got 5% of the box office share. He knew that the box office would be high, but he didn't care.
Han Sanping felt helpless when he saw that Su Yi didn't even ask.
At this age, are you really indifferent to favors and humiliations?
“The first-day box office is out, and there are statistical errors in several cities. Now we have found out. The first-day box office, 180 million!”
180 million?
Su Yi was not surprised, but felt a little lacking.
"Fast and Furious 7", when it was released in 2015, had a box office of 400 million on the first day!
But the era is different, this is already a very impressive box office revenue!
The Night Banquet, released in 2006, only grossed 130 million at the box office!
The film premiered and instantly killed his final box office.
“What about the other movies?”
“Quantum of Solace, the box office is only over 6 million.”
“Kung Fu King is higher, 11 million.”< br>
Su Yi smiled, there is really a big gap in this market, more than ten times!
But I can’t blame these two movies. It can only be said that the publicity and investment for this Batman were huge at the beginning.
Although many fans were abusive at first, there is a sense of topic and this is hype!
"Hahaha, it seems that when my movie was scolded at the beginning, it actually increased its traffic."
Su Yi smiled.
Han Sanping shook his head.
"This is not the traffic that was scolded. Director Chen Da has been scolded since Wuji and has been depressed - it's still because of your Su Yi's reputation."
Han Sanping said with conviction.
Facing such an opponent, Han Sanping did not expect that he could achieve such results.
Originally, he thought that this time the movie might drop at the box office at the beginning, and then rely on the quality of the movie to promote it, and slowly increase the box office.
Who would have thought that it would be such a box office hit right from the start!
Directly breaking Su Yi's own record!
It seems that the previous box office record of Changjin Lake will be broken.
Han Sanping sighed in his heart.
"But it's a pity that this time it's a foreign superhero movie. It would be great if it was our movie."
Su Yi smiled, of course he had considered this kind of thing.
Although his focus is not only on movies, he has always been paying attention to the film industry.
After all, he is now also the president of the Film Directors Guild.
"This time can be used as a reference. We will have our own superhero movie by then!"
Hearing Su Yi's words, Han Sanping's eyes lit up.
In fact, this is what he was waiting for.
"However, our comics do not have the foundation of American comics and Japanese comics."
Han Sanping frowned slightly. In fact, Dragon Kingdom also has many IPs, such as the four major classics, some traditional mythological stories, etc. .
But what is lacking is a good script, and it is still difficult to adapt the script.
"I have discussed cooperation with Yingying before. I have obtained the animation development rights from Shangmeiying."
Han Sanping's heart moved, he knew about this matter.
At that time, Su Yi was still on the children's channel, and Shanghai Film Studio took the opportunity to get Su Yi to agree to their investment in Changjin Lake, and later made a fortune.
However, the animated version of the superhero movie still feels a bit inadequate.
And it’s a bit of a stir-fry.
"Haha. Chairman Han, we are already adapting the script. This time, Batman, after gaining experience, I will not shoot another Batman series."
Originally, this is all The secret is something Su Yi cannot reveal.
Enlight Media and Shanghai Film Group are both negotiating and preparing.
But you need to wait for the animated movie to be released and make money before the project can be officially launched.
Originally, there was no need to report to Han Sanping, but when the chat ended today, Su Yi did not hide anything.
“Let’s talk about it carefully, China Film Group will definitely not be left behind on this matter.”
Superhero movies involve the country’s cultural export, and to put it bluntly, movies and tourism , has always been a cultural export, and there are many connections between the two.
Many people’s values are seen in movies.
This sounds a bit nonsense, but in this era when the Internet is not very developed, this is the case.
Although in the North American market, there are also many movies that satirize the government and even religion of the country.
But more mainstream movies still convey some of their own country's culture.
The mainstream market in the future should be ‘activated’ by Marvel’s Iron Man and DC’s Batman!
Han Sanping cares about the film industry. When he followed Su Yi to the Star Flag Country, he was also secretly observing their market environment.
To be honest, they have become an assembly line.
And very professional.
At that time, Han Sanping was even a little discouraged. After all, the gap was still huge. This time he came to find Su Yi because he wanted to talk about the future direction of the film. Su Yi was considered a member of the system and a famous director. The conversation was enough to influence the entire Dragon Kingdom film industry!
Today was not a good time to talk. After all, Su Yi was very tired.
But Su Yi's words made Han Sanping's heart skip a beat.
This is a very good development direction, but unfortunately, how can it be linked to the film?
Su Yi saw the anticipation in Han Sanping's eyes and sat up a little straighter.
He doesn’t have much work now, but he also has a lot of plans for the future.
“In fact, it is not difficult to adapt the script. Whether it is a myth or an animation, it can be adapted. Just like Meiying’s Calabash Baby, which is originally an animation adapted from a myth, it can completely leave the ancient blood in today’s cities. Searching for the 'mantle' is like Spider-Man, which suddenly gives an ordinary person one or more abilities."
Han Sanping thought carefully and fell into deep thought.
“Of course, we need to lubricate it in detail to connect the myth with the crisis on earth, or the villain has also found his own parasites such as scorpion spirit and centipede spirit. Their possessions can become the villain Han Dong, although I filmed Batman this time, I am still optimistic about the pace of Marvel movies in terms of the direction of superheroes in the future."
Seeing Su Yi's serious face, Han Sanping didn't say much. Listen carefully.
He knew that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person. Even those foreign capital companies that pursued profit first were very optimistic about Su Yi, and his words were even more valuable.
“With the development of the current economy, people’s pace of life will accelerate a lot. When filming Tip of the Tongue, I found that the market share of Chinese food is slowly being occupied - I am not talking about Western food, but A kind of fast food culture, such as burgers. They are faster and sold in more ways. Just like Iron Man, the cost is high, the production is large, and the fighting elements are more crude and simple, but the plot is full of punches! If there is a linkage, the suspense doesn’t need to be too big.”
Su Yi expressed his thoughts.
To be honest, both Marvel and DC only dared to make them into movies after years of development and fan base.
The development of DC and Marvel is also in two directions.
Su Yi knows that the box office of later Marvel movies will exceed the box office of DC movies, and it is still a laggard.
Especially after the linkage, it has increased a lot of box office and praise.
"The first-day box office this time is so high. I think it is even possible to stabilize the number one box office in history. Doesn't this represent the future direction of movies?"
Han Sanping was very surprised. If Su Yi hadn't said this Yes, even if Chen Kaige said it, he would sneer at it.
But it is what Su Yi said that has such great credibility.
“This is a phenomenon. Therefore, if our own country’s superhero movies want to develop, they cannot follow this route.”
The future global movie market will still be dominated by North America. .
Winning awards is one aspect, but it is not really important. For example, winning the Palme d'Or is at best a great honor and increases the industry's status, but when it comes to box office, it is actually worse.
Of course, Dragon Kingdom has its own market development, and it cannot just rely on a superhero movie. For example, the later Big Bowl Entertainment, Happy Twist, etc., often grossed billions at the box office.
Feng Xiaogang, a director in Beijing who is now very popular in Beijing, has been in the industry for decades and has made movies all his life. By 2024, the total box office will only be 5.333 billion.
And what about Jia Ling? Two movies were filmed, and the box office reached 8.487 billion!
And Wu Jing, for the sake of development at the beginning, he even went to Hong Kong to shoot movies.
Being looked down upon by others, doing fake things during filming, being hit with instruments, etc. After going around for a while, I realized that the mainland market is the best!
Wolf Warrior helped Wu Jing save enough money.
Wolf Warrior 2 directly ranked 86th at the global box office!
This is the future Dragon Kingdom Film Market!
So Su Yi doesn't pay much attention to awards and the like.
Although some domestic and foreign audiences sneer at domestic films, such a market makes North American and Western capital’s eyes gleam with greed.
But Su Yi’s ‘ambition’ is even greater. After all, Marvel movies developed rapidly and made money at the global box office.
Longguo films have strength and potential, but they often learn from foreign film models.
For example, the second movie of Dawan Entertainment purchased the rights to remake it, used a weight-loss gimmick, and coupled with good acting skills, it can easily achieve high box office.
If you can have your own original work, it will be a step up. Not only can you earn domestic movie box office, but you can also 'harvest' foreign box office!
There are a lot of things to talk about today, and they are a bit ahead of schedule.
What’s more, I heard such words on such a victorious day.
Han Sanping carefully analyzed everything Su Yi said just now. Although he subconsciously thought it was impossible, he didn't know why, but he still felt it made sense.
“Actually, you can see, Mr. Han, that no matter what kind of movie, there is a market in the Dragon Kingdom. The previous movie Parasite satirized the Bangzi Kingdom, and later the patriotic melody movie "Changjin Lake" ", and now "The Dark Knight". All show that our movie market is very good and audiences are willing to spend money on some excellent movies."
The two of them talked about a lot, from the development of superhero movies to Dragon Kingdom movies.
Han Sanping's thinking became clearer.
He knew what Su Yi said made sense, but he was also very conflicted in his heart. They are China Film Group. What is the full name of China Film Group?
Moreover, Shanghai Film and Xinying Film are both competitors. In fact, they control the right to import films. Other film groups are not competitors at all.
China Film can also, to a certain extent, determine the development of future films.
After all, their huge investment funds are not something that ordinary private companies can have, especially in 2008!
“Don’t worry about the superhero IP. The last time I went to negotiate with American Films, the layout was already laid out. My idea at the time was not only to make animated movies, but also to set up my own super IP—— Do you know about Tangren Company? "
Although Su Yi was a little sleepy, he immediately became energetic when he mentioned these things.
"I know, the company that filmed Fairy Sword 1 has invested in several movies before, and the box office was average."
Han Sanping thought for a while before recalling.
"Their Fairy Sword series is also one of the planned 'superhero' IPs."
Because of his own appearance, the classic Fairy Sword 3 project has been delayed again and again.
Previously, Mr. Cai from Tang Dynasty called me because of this incident, saying that the project started in 2005, but now, all the leading actors they had previously chosen have been 'kidnapped' and run away.
And even if you want to use it now, you can’t afford it.
Both Liu Shishi and Yang Mi are famous people, and Liu Shishi made it clear that she no longer wants to film this TV series.
"Is this adapted from a game?"
Han Sanping was stunned.
He didn’t know the details, but after all, at the time, few computer games were from the Dragon Kingdom.
He has also seen others operate the Immortal Sword.
“There are also many monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas in Sword and Fairy 1 - in my opinion, if the mythical beasts and monsters introduced in the Classic of Mountains and Seas were presented, it would be enough to diversify the elements of the movie, Calabash Wa The same is true for the abilities of the seven Calabash Babies. First, an animated movie was filmed, which caused a high degree of discussion, and then in the end, several Calabash Babies were sealed or for some reason, to lay the groundwork... By then, if these abilities Will suddenly appearing on a young man in the city attract people to look down? ”
After Su Yi said this, his mouth suddenly felt dry, and he drank a few sips of tea.
“These abilities made him interesting. At the same time, due to some ancient reasons, some monsters awakened, such as the monsters in The Classic of Mountains and Seas, or the monsters in Calabash Baby, etc. Each of them is an independent movie, but At that time, there will also be interactive easter eggs with Fairy Sword or other series of movies——"
Han Sanping looked at Su Yi in surprise.
It was as if he had met her for the first time, in his cognition.
Su Yi is a charity director, then a very powerful variety show director, and finally a film director.
Movies are also diverse and come in many types.
Before Su Yi came into contact with Batman, Han Sanping even felt that these were two fields.
Now that he heard what Su Yi said, Han Sanping suddenly felt enlightened.
As long as the IP of a movie is established, the linkage between them will be enough to make the next movie a hit!
This is enough to revitalize the Dragon Kingdom superhero movie market!
Han Sanping was even a little excited.
"But Director Han, the standards should be more open. For example, in Batman: The Dark Knight this time, there were explosions on the streets, law enforcement agents, traitors, etc. If it were in the Dragon Kingdom, my hands and feet might not be able to let go. . ”
Have you prepared what you said today?
Han Sanping was shocked. Su Yi had just said that he had had these ideas since he went to Meiying, and he had obtained the authorization to develop all the animation copyrights of Meiying.
It is said that Su Yi owed Warner a favor for filming this superhero movie. So it seems that it was also to gain experience for himself?
This ambition started when I was on the children's channel!
In other words, the step-by-step shooting was actually planned?
There is also cooperation with Enlight Media to shoot animated movies...also to gain popularity!
Now you have to find yourself and ask yourself to apply for permission from the leader?
This boy, everything is really in order.
But no matter what, this is an idea!
The most difficult thing is to build a reputation. Su Yi has already accomplished this, so it doesn’t matter if he applies to the leader himself.
As long as it does not involve the political level and is relaxed appropriately, the higher-ups can still agree.
“Create tomorrow together!”
Han Sanping took the initiative to extend his hand, admiration appeared in his eyes, and he got to know Su Yi again today.
After all, in his eyes, Su Yi was a very impulsive and passionate person before. It was already a miracle that he could reach this point.
But no matter how the superiors punished them, they were already treated lightly.
“Thank you, leader, for your help!”
Su Yi smiled and held Han Sanping’s hand.
·····
Media news.
"Batman: The Dark Knight, domestic first-day box office is 180 million US dollars! Foreign first-day total box office: 100 million US dollars!"
After Su Yi went home to catch up on his sleep, Han Sanping asked China Film to release got this accurate news.
The box office news shocked the entire Dragon Kingdom film industry.
Even the film industry that shocked the world!
The box office on the first day was US$100 million!
What is this concept?
Potential to become number one in the global box office!
Countless capitals are red-eyed!
Countless viewers went crazy for it!
As soon as the news came out, countless people went to the cinema to buy movie tickets.
Many fans who were watching were completely relieved this time.
"Su Yi? A movie shot by people from the Long Kingdom?"
A few black people were eating fried chicken and drinking beer when they saw the promotional poster.
"I'm not interested. Neither the stupid Batman nor the Dragon Man can attract my interest - the director's name is very familiar!"
"It's the director who previously filmed "12 Years a Slave"!"
"If it's him, I decided to go and see it!"
A few people can be regarded as 'repaying a favor' , after all, this movie also brought them a lot of income at the time, especially the evocative zero-yuan purchase.
But now it’s much too late to go to the cinema.
Cinemas in many cities, especially the 3D version of Batman: The Dark Knight, are already sold out! (End of chapter)
