Chapter 269 The shock brought by the Dark Knight is the first step in the rise of domestic superheroes!
Longguo Cinema.
"What? No tickets? Only regular 2D? Or in the middle of the night?"
"Who watches this movie in 2D? It's a waste of money!"
This Next, The Dark Knight completely set off the craze of 3D movies.
When many people watched a 3D movie for the first time, they thought the ticket price was too expensive.
But after seeing it, I realized that it is worth the money.
The movie "Avatar" in Cameron's hands may be more sophisticated in 3D.
After all, a brand new world has been created, and it is more suitable for 3D display.
And in the world before Su Yi, Cameron had a head start. Nolan failed to persuade him before and the investment was not enough.
Now with an investment of nearly 2.4 billion, there is naturally more to show.
Especially the battle scenes add luster to this movie.
Unfortunately, there are not many 3D theaters in the North American market now, otherwise the box office would be higher.
The 3D cinema in Longguo has been under construction before, but it is still hard to get a ticket.
Despite the adoption of a real-name system, there are no scalpers' super-high ticket prices, and with the cooperation of China Film and several other movies, the price is still controlled within 200.
It's not cheap to be honest.
But you must know that when "Avatar" was released, the ticket price of more than 300 yuan was still not available.
And if you really don’t have money, you can also watch 2D movies, and the ticket price is only 49 yuan.
But it is a pity that people who have watched the 2D movie still want to watch the 3D version.
This kind of movie is suitable for second viewing, because there are many details in it that you want to know.
And after the media broke the box office results, more people wanted to watch it.
A movie that grossed $100 million on its first day!
Domestic box office 180 million!
Countless audiences flocked to the cinema and started discussions on the Internet.
Su Yi's reputation is even greater in the Dragon Kingdom, but abroad, he is even more famous as a clown!
Just as Warner predicted from the beginning, Heath Ledger instantly became a well-known villain.
There are even some fanatical fans who imitate the clown's makeup and enjoy the popularity of many people.
However, Heath Ledger himself is still recuperating and cannot accept interviews from the media.
And in Warner's plan, the clown should be very mysterious and cannot appear in front of the media easily.
Especially before it is removed from the shelves, this must not happen.
Just like the plot in the movie, there are many imitators of Batman, and even more imitators of the Joker!
····
Warner Bros.
"Boss, I contacted Director Su Yi before and said that I would like to ask him to conceive a movie about the clown. You can do whatever you want."
The chairman of Warner is looking at the report in his hand. .
There was an irrepressible smile on his lips.
After three days of release, the box office exceeded 300 million US dollars in global box office!
If this continues, not only will it be ranked number one at the box office, but it will certainly be ranked among the top ten or even the top five.
Strike while the iron is hot!
This is what everyone at Warner Bros. thinks.
They even gave a very high price, surpassing many famous first-line directors and almost reaching the top level!
“Director Su Yi refused.”
While the chairman of Warner was thinking about when to invest, Diane’s face showed bitterness.
“Rejected?”
The chairman of Warner even went blank for a moment.
There are many Hollywood directors who reject them, but most of them are because of money and scripts.
But after experiencing such a successful movie, you can still refuse?
"Did you say too little about the conditions? We will increase the share to 10%! And there is also a guaranteed director's fee!"
The chairman of Warner looked at Diane, his tone was a little unkind.
I thought it was Diane who lowered Su Yi's price.
"Chairman, I don't have the guts. Ordinary viewers who don't know the inside story think that actors are the soul of the movie and can show off to our film company. In fact, everyone in the industry knows that the director has the biggest temper! And he cannot be offended. ."
Di An smiled bitterly.
What he said is not a lie. Maybe in later generations, some treasured actors can ignore some capital.
But in this era, the director's status is still very high.
Especially when it comes to Cameron and Spielberg.
Su Yi has this potential and is proving his worth.
Now Warner Brothers don’t dare to underestimate Su Yi, and even treat Su Yi respectfully.
The conditions offered this time are also very high.
Unexpectedly, Su Yi refused.
“Have you told him about the box office situation?”
Chairman Warner calmed down his emotions.
He was keenly aware that the young man was not deliberately asking for conditions.
"He said he was too busy at work, not because of money issues. But we can cooperate in other aspects."
To be honest, what Su Yi refused was a clean one.
This somewhat annoyed the executives of Warner Bros., but upon hearing about the cooperation, it somewhat relieved them.
"What kind of collaboration?"
"It's about an animated movie. Director Su Yi said that although he will not participate in the filming of the Joker, he will produce a script."
Script?
The chairman of Warner had a thought. The script was half of the reason why the movie Batman: The Dark Knight was so successful.
The remaining one-third is the successful casting, one-third is the director, and then the special effects.
"How much?"
This is the point, a good script will not be cheap.
“It’s free.”
This time, Chairman Warner’s defense was really broken.
Free?
Impossible, nothing is free in the world.
Di An also knows this truth.
“The price is that people from our animation film studio need to participate in their animation post-production.”
It’s not too harsh, and it has helped Enlight Media before, but that was in the early stage The shooting and post-production are actually very important.
What Su Yi can exchange with the script is basically a very important thing.
"Promise him! I know the idea of this Dragon Kingdom director. He just wants to support Dragon Kingdom's animated movies. Diane... You have always had a good relationship with him. You must keep it up."
Hear After saying this, Diane was a little shocked because he knew the chairman.
It is rare to say such soft words, and the most important thing is that in the last incident involving Sharon Stone, I chose to take sides as quickly as possible!
You know, this incident even caused dissatisfaction among some North American media. Some people even say that Warner Pictures is 'favoring China and favoring foreigners'.
It sounds a bit weird, but this incident even cost Warner hundreds of thousands of dollars in public relations.
Fortunately, Su Yi's previous film "12 Years a Slave" allowed him to accumulate some black fans, and the Sharon Stone incident even aroused the anger of blacks, Chinese and a small number of ultra-nationalist white people. fight.
After all, the mainstream in North America and the West is to discredit the Dragon Kingdom.
Now Warner suddenly worships China and favors foreigners, which naturally caused a lot of disputes. Now even when the box office is so high, Su Yi is not praised by anyone, Heath Ledger is still popular.
And most media are also reporting on Heath Ledger.
This is also a very good thing for Warner.
After all, the smaller Su Yi's reputation is, the fewer his competitors will be.
That's why Diane was so shocked, because Su Yi's identity is still very sensitive, but the chairman of Warner is very supportive of Su Yi.
How much pressure does Sharon Stone have to deal with?
"Diane, you have to know that the company will not bow to one person."
Seeing Diane's look, the chairman of Warner chuckled.
No matter how talented you are, it won't work, because only benefits are eternal.
After thinking about this sentence carefully, Diane was shocked.
The last ordinary movie collaboration.
And even invested an additional US$100 million!
“Is this because of Longguo’s market and Longguo’s cooperation?”
After hearing this, Warner's chairman smiled noncommittally and didn't say much.
But the purpose is very clear.
“This time Batman: The Dark Knight is a series, but it cannot last long. According to the popularity of the Joker, we can also launch two movies about the Joker, which should be good at the box office - but it is not We can no longer make those movies that are politically serious and discuss human nature."
The words of the chairman of Warner made Diane even more frightened.
With such a box office, do you still need to reflect?
But director Su Yi did say something similar before. "We need to launch other superheroes as soon as possible, and the pace should be similar to the new Marvel movies. Diane, if you have time, go to Dragon Kingdom to find Director Su Yi and ask him what the new trend is!"
< br>
The conversation ended quickly, but what shocked Diane was that the company's chairman actually valued Su Yi so much!
They even asked about the future direction!
"What a pity, I originally thought of giving the filming of "Harry Potter" to Su Yi"
Dai An hurriedly left. If he asked Su Yi, he would probably know everything.
But to ask Su Yi to shoot a movie again - he doesn't have the ability anyway.
·····
CCTV.
Su Yi is sitting in the office. He is in high spirits today.
In front of them were some of the most popular ‘journalists’ from the international channels.
Agent from four countries!
“Thank you for your hard work during this period. Leader Sun has already expressed his praise. I want to thank you for your contribution to the tourism industry.”
Su Yi’s movie has come to an end, although The total box office has not been released yet, but the work has not stopped.
The merger of culture and tourism seems to be inevitable.
Leader Sun and Director Zhuo have been looking for Su Yi during this period, and they also brought Su Yi with them to various meetings.
Now culture and tourism are the objects of attention from above.
Especially after the previous documentary exposure incident, Liu Shishi became the spokesperson of tourism, and various departments began to make full efforts to rectify it.
After Dianzhou Tourism Bureau accepted Su Yi’s suggestion, it instantly became a national tourism hotspot.
GDP doubled directly!
You know, tourism is a very important source of income and affects many things.
"Especially you, Liu Yong! Thank you for your hard work!"
Su Yi looked at Liu Yong in this world. Although he was not the blogger before, his current appearance was very similar.
Especially the look of vicissitudes of life.
"It's okay, I'm used to being in Asan Country, and it will be like heaven after coming back! And no matter what, we still eat and drink, just record videos, but not as much as Director Su's contribution."
< br>
The other people were very polite, because Su Yi was their immediate boss, and their popularity today was entirely because of Su Yi.
In addition, the box office of the recent Batman movie exploded, which made them admire Su Yi even more.
"The mission has initially come to an end. You can return to the country where you want to 'lurk'. Just click on these domestically recorded programs."
Su Yi smiled Laugh, their tasks seem to be all about eating and drinking, but they are actually quite tiring.
Especially in order to reduce their costs, they often record by themselves and then stay up late to edit.
Advertising fees for international channels are high, but the budget for this program is limited.
Sometimes the effect is not even like those produced by CCTV.
But it doesn’t matter, this actually adds to the authenticity, and now it has become a channel that is loved by viewers.
It has truly become a ‘comprehensive channel’.
News has been observed globally, and many viewers even strongly suggested adding a domestic section.
Not to mention that Su Yi had really thought about it before, but he also knew that it was unlikely.
It is impossible for the above to give special approval. Originally, Su Yi received a lot of "complaints" after he joined the international channel.
After all, some unpopular channels have been left with little room for development.
The ratings are pitiful every day, and the most important thing is that they launched a popular channel with confidence, and then were beaten by Su Yi's program in the ratings.
So the shortcut is to ask Su Yi for some advice.
As for entertainment, there are also programs about agents from the four countries.
And Dancing with the Dragon Kingdom, which is jointly broadcast with the Children's Channel.
They are all about ancient dance content, and Liu Shishi is also famous in this program.
The prime time is when there are the most people, but some programs dare not be broadcast during the prime time.
After all, with Su Yi’s ratings, it’s like a dominating company!
When Su Yi went abroad to film a movie, the program directors of many TV stations cheered inwardly!
Fortunately, the international channels are targeted after all. Not all programs are authorized to be broadcast. Otherwise, even Mango Channel would not be a rival to the international channels.
“Everyone has worked hard. Because the advertising fee for the program has increased, the funding has also increased now - Liu Yong, pay more attention to your health. Sometimes you can pose for photos with Asanguo’s ‘delicious food’. , such as vomiting it out after filming, it’s because of your health!”
The other people looked at Liu Yong sympathetically.
Originally it was a rotation, but now the four of them have their own styles. If they were to be replaced rashly, the ratings would definitely drop.
"It's Director Su, don't worry. My body is almost immune to all poisons."
Liu Yong smiled bitterly.
"Director Su, the leader is looking for you."
Seeing Director Wei in a hurry, the four of them hurriedly left.
Facing such a leader, they are still a little afraid.
lead?
Su Yi was a little surprised. Could it be because of this movie?
To be honest, although this movie did well at the box office, the filming was also very in-depth.
But it definitely does not comply with any publicity policy.
But he didn’t think much about it and was about to get up and go downstairs to drive.
"Director Su, I know you are busy, so I came here uninvited."
Hearing this, Su Yi was shocked. A leader of this level would not easily come to him.
"Leader, are you here?"
The leader of the propaganda department nodded and looked at Su Yi's office.
“This movie was shot well. Let’s show foreign capital that we can also shoot such an excellent movie!”
What made Su Yi relieved was that the leader did not criticize, but also praised.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here just for a casual chat. Xiao Han's report was submitted by the General Administration of Culture and Entertainment, and I and the leaders there have read it."
Su Yi's heart It beat violently.
This is related to the future film review issue.
In later generations, many moviegoers complained about why Longguo was unable to produce North American-style movies. Even the movies of Bangziguo and Asanguo had more profound meanings than those of Longguo.
In fact, it is an audit.
It’s not that there are no good directors in the Long Kingdom. If the standards were liberalized, Jiang Wen would dare to go to heaven!
There are many directors like Jiang Wen, whether they are famous or not.
So because of the censorship, director Long Guo is not as good as Bangzi Guo and Asan Guo in terms of satire.
I may even be timid!
Among the future plans that Su Yi and Han Sanping have set, having their own superhero movie is one of them.
And this superhero actually also contains the ancient culture of the Dragon Kingdom. The mythology is very heavy, and this can be regarded as education in disguise.
After all, after the rise of Marvel movies, fans are very familiar with time stones, power stones, various magics, mutations and technologies.
But if you ask about some of the mythological elements of the Dragon Kingdom, they may only be ‘carried forward’ in novels.
No way.
But now it is very difficult even for Su Yi to shoot a superhero movie about Long Guo himself.
Blow up a police station and monsters destroy half the city.
These may all be reviewed.
Because it may cause panic, Su Yi actually does not expect to let go of the review immediately and be able to shoot anything.
But at least let it go a little bit. If you keep restoring ancient mythological stories, the audience's aesthetics will become very "dry".
Most viewers know the story of Calabash Baby. If it were turned into a 3D animated movie, they might buy into the emotion and burst into tears watching it.
But if an animated movie comes out, there will be a live-action movie with exactly the same plot.
That would be boring.
So if you want to go further, you will become a complete 'universe view' in the future.
Then the review must be slightly relaxed.
This time the leader of the propaganda department came in person, and he definitely didn't come to greet Su Yi.
Han Sanping is very efficient at work. It seems that what he said that day touched him very much.
But this time the propaganda leaders have come over, and there is probably some resistance.
Su Yi sighed in his heart.
In fact, even if you are a time traveler, the things you can change are quite limited.
Although I have already changed many industries.
"I agree with the issue of scale. But the purpose is to promote culture, not feudal superstition!"
Su Yi did not say anything, but listened quietly. .
To be honest, I was still very nervous inside.
If the superiors disagree, then the animated movie will stop abruptly.
If agreed, then the Dragon Kingdom’s own superhero universe will soon open the door!
