"Thank you."
Liu Yifei was still a little confused, so she subconsciously thanked her.
“No thanks, we all graduated from the same school, and we are all friends. When I encountered problems with Soldier Assault Investment before, it was also an investment from Red Star House, and I just told you in advance that there would be More film and television companies are involved——"
Seeing that Mother Liu was anxious and wanted to speak, Su Yi did not stop talking.
"Auntie, this time is not a superhero, but many superheroes. I will choose a good script for you then, but the investment this time will be huge, and the competition will be who has the best production. . Whoever makes this IP, even if it is a movie without clear copyright, will be protected by the rules of many film companies, and people will not follow suit casually. ”
Su Yi explained.
“Of course, it is not filmed, the copyright belongs to you, but the General Administration will prevent malicious followers from following suit and using your famous small production to cheat the box office. And my suggestion is that even if it is not a 3D version of the movie, At least most of the money should be spent on special effects and scripts. "
This is what Su Yi said from the bottom of his heart.
He is now the president of the Film Association. Although he actually has no rights, it is impossible to increase the box office because of this status.
But with fame and prestige, everyone will give Su Yi some face. Even Chen Kaige cannot publicly say anything about Su Yi. At most, he can only talk about his works.
As soon as the box office came out this time, he immediately became honest. As long as someone asked about Batman, Chen Kaige had a black face the whole time. As long as this topic came up, he would just turn around and leave.
Now Su Yi is not only the president of the Film Association, but also the director of the system. He has the full support of China Film, Shanghai Film and Bayi Film Studio.
The most important thing is that it is not only reputation, but also strength!
Whether it is abroad or domestic, it has a high box office.
Any film production company or entertainment company will listen to the suggestions given by such an all-round director as if they are "imperial edicts".
Mother Liu did not speak, but nodded repeatedly, keeping all Su Yi's words in mind.
At the same time, she was a little embarrassed, so she stood up quickly and refilled Su Yi's cup of tea.
"Xiao Su, Auntie is old, and her reaction is sometimes too slow. Her brain is also slow. I still want to thank you this time. It is you who have always helped Feifei choose the right path. I have been abroad for several years, and I also Corrupted by capitalism, sometimes he may be a little selfish."
Mother Liu knew that Su Yi had always been very kind to Liu Yifei. They invested in soldiers for the assault and later received huge dividends, which was not a big help. .
Moreover, Mother Liu can also see that this Su Yi is not just for her daughter's appearance - although she does hope that the two of them will be together, so in order not to hold her daughter back, Su Yi has trouble. Feeling good, she apologized hastily.
Su Yi smiled noncommittally. He didn't answer, but to be honest, Liu Yifei's mother didn't have much foresight.
"Feifei, there will be a lot of themes to choose from. Choose the one that suits you more."
Liu Yifei nodded, but there was a little embarrassment on her face.
Because she doesn’t have many ideas, and even for some fairy tales, she is simply blank.
Originally, when she was young, she went to the Star Flag Country. Originally, Liu's mother's experience was not bad, but because she was busy working on her so-called career at that time, she neglected many things.
Moreover, except for the top management level, most of the education in Star Flag Country promotes happy growth.
So although Liu Yifei's father was a learned man, Liu Yifei herself had little ink.
Some fairy tales may have been heard when you were a child but forgotten when you grow up.
“Auntie may know better about this aspect. You can think more broadly and find an idea. You can find a professional screenwriter to adapt it. For example, Emperor Yan’s daughter Jingwei Reclamation, although it is now popular Some of them are adapted from fairy tales into fairy tales, but everything can be extended infinitely.”
Su Yi gave an example, this is the traditional culture of the Dragon Kingdom. Over the thousands of years, countless predecessors have imagined and extended the myths. .
Now, it must not be forgotten!
····
One month later.
“Batman’s final domestic box office is 3.1 billion! China Film Group has no plans to postpone the broadcast, but chose to withdraw it!”
After Batman: The Dark Knight was removed from the shelves, As soon as the final box office was announced, it immediately caused an uproar.
3.1 billion box office!
Just the market in Dragon Kingdom!
Breaking the box office record of Dragon Kingdom, Changjin Lake is now ranked second.
Su Yi has completely emptied the wallets of movie fans.
It is also because IMAX theaters are relatively expensive that they have such box office results.
3.1 billion!
This box office result not only shocked the director world, but many netizens and fans were paying attention to this movie before. Today, when the final box office came out, countless viewers were shocked.
“3.1 billion! The box office of Dragon Kingdom alone has already paid back!”
An investment of 2.4 billion is already shocking, but the box office of a country’s movies alone is Total return on investment!
In fact, this box office was within China Film’s expectations.
After the super high box office in the first ten days, there must be some decline later.
The box office of 3D theaters fell, while 2D theaters began to increase.
But it eventually surpassed Changjin Lake and ranked first in the box office.
After all, this is the second 3D movie. There are a lot more cinemas and more people supporting Su Yi.
In addition, the Batman IP is pretty good in Dragon Kingdom.
"Director Su Yi has once again created a box office myth! Although the global box office has not been released, it is definitely a very gratifying result! Congratulations to our film market for this miracle!"
"From one billion box office to twenty It took Director Su Yi three years to reach a box office of 100 million, which has exceeded the profits that many companies can create!"
"Although Director Su Yi emptied the monthly salary of many people, But the movie’s ratings are very high! This also proves that superhero movies are entering the market!”
Longguo Entertainment newspapers all praised it.
Even the six sets of CCTV are praising it.
"This is the honor of our Dragon Kingdom Films, and also the honor of director Su Yi! We are also very lucky that Warner Bros. hesitated and allowed China Film Group to invest 100 million! Otherwise, it would be making money for others!"
As soon as this news came out, many people were refreshed.
Some small newspapers have criticized this before. After all, this is a foreign-invested movie. It surpassed the box office of Changjin Lake, which still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
But now the Sixth Princess directly broke the news that it was jointly invested by Warner and China Film.
Directed by Long Guoren, and the script was also written by Su Yi.
No matter what, it can be regarded as having a bit of Dragon Kingdom blood.
So faced with such a situation, it can be regarded as a prosperous period for the Dragon Kingdom film industry.
Directly surpassing Bangzi Country, Xiaori market, and even the Western market, it is the second largest film market after North America!
This is extremely exciting!
When the contract was signed before, China Film and Warner had an agreement. It was not a one-third share, but that the Dragon Country market belonged to China Film and the North American market belonged to Warner.
The rest of the Western, Little Life and other film markets will be divided according to the contract.
From Warner's point of view, this is a sure profit.
But after seeing the box office of Dragon Kingdom, my heart skipped a beat.
A country’s box office has paid back directly! If the playback is extended, I guess I can still make some money.
In terms of global box office contribution in 2002, Dragon Kingdom had no way of entering the rankings.
By 2005, especially in 2007 and 2008, the market contribution had skyrocketed!
It goes without saying that Bangziguo is huge in size, with few people and low box office, so it was quickly surpassed.
The sum of 2007's Changjin Lake and other films combined directly exceeded the Western market.
Many people may not know that Xiaoli is actually the second largest movie market!
But now, with the rise of the Dragon Kingdom film industry, they have become the third!
···
China Film Group, Han Sanping Office.
Han Sanping was also surprised when he first saw the data.
It would have been good to predict from the beginning that it could surpass Changjin Lake.
After all, 3D movies tend to be high-end and low-end. True fans can’t wait to watch them three times, but non-true fans are too lazy to watch them even if they are free.
But the momentum behind it was still very strong, directly breaking through the limit.
"Chairman Han, haven't you got off work yet?"
The vice chairman passed by and saw that the door was still open, so he came in with a smile to say hello.
This vice chairman is the one who signed a contract with Huayi Wang Zhongjun before. Later, Xiongbing made a small profit of tens of thousands of yuan, which was more uncomfortable than losing money.
But he didn't hate Su Yi for this.
Although Su Yi had already risen to prominence at that time, many people still did not expect that Su Yi would be as brilliant as he is today.
After all, Su Yi was more like a TV drama director and charity director at that time.
Huayi also had a grudge with Su Yi at that time. If you ask Wang Zhongjun if he regrets it now, he would probably be filled with regret.
Movies from sky-high-priced soldier raids to overseas wars.
At least 2 billion was lost!
However, these grievances have nothing to do with the vice chairman of China Film Group. Han Sanping lost money on all the projects he promoted.
So the vice chairman had no other thoughts about Su Yi's success, and was actually very happy.
After all, China Film has won a big victory this time, and the superiors have verbally rewarded China Film for its investment success.
And this is considered a joint venture shooting, so the cost of bringing in all aspects is very small.
It can be considered a very successful investment, but you must know that the tax on movies is also very high.
Therefore, thanks to Su Yi's praise, the entire China Film Group is beaming with joy.
“Such a happy thing, I may have to work overtime here tonight!”
Han Sanping was in a very happy mood.
Strictly speaking, China Film Group is an enterprise and public institution. It has many things to do every day, and even though it is a state-owned enterprise, it still has many things to worry about.
For example, for this task, a film for the motherland’s 60th birthday, just finding a director and writing a script was a headache. There are also movie channel matters, foreign movie review and distribution, etc.
"Huh, the global box office is out? Are you so happy?"
The vice chairman came in and sat down to chat for a while.
“I’m also happy about the box office, and the most important thing is that Su Yi got it done.”
Su Yi?
The vice chairman was a little curious.
"It's okay to tell you. Su Yi's prestige in the film industry has surpassed mine. Even Shanghai Film Group Corporation is selling him face."
Han Sanping watched the interview program on the movie channel, Said with a smile.
“Shanghai Film?”
The vice chairman is a little confused, why is it still related to Shanghai Film?
"In just one month, the box office has reached 3.1 billion! And Shanghai Film, Xiying, Changying, and even Bayi Film and Television are involved in making superhero movies!"
Vice Chairman I was surprised. Isn’t it a high-grossing movie?
As for causing such a big storm?
“People’s current entertainment life is gradually enriched by the Internet, and through Internet communication, people know more and more things. As fast food culture impacts traditional culture, the pace of movies will also become faster. This Although Su Yi's movie was successful, it was both literary and commercial, but such an adaptation of the script is not easy, and it is even difficult to come up with. It is better to make a fast food movie through a simple adaptation."
Han Sanping will be the previous one. After chatting with Su Yi and explaining to the vice chairman, of course, all of Dragon Kingdom’s movies in the future cannot be this type of fast food movie, and Dragon Kingdom’s market is huge and more inclusive.
"It is estimated that Xiying will shoot some in-depth movies, but they will definitely bloom! With Director Su taking action, the strategies of these film companies will definitely be adjusted quickly."
The vice chairman also knows Su Yi's abilities. .
With this 3.1 billion box office impact, it is enough for them to change their previous plans!
"But... these movies need an opportunity. This Batman movie is not enough to let them see that the Dragon Kingdom's own superhero will be popular."
The vice chairman also has a vision. Vicious person.
""Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" is ready to enter the Lunar New Year season."
Han Sanping said with a smile, it is not just the movie box office that makes him so happy.
Approved by the leadership and supported by major film platforms.
Even TV drama companies like Tang Dynasty are actively preparing movies about the Fairy Sword series, striving to make the characters in the Fairy Sword series also become ‘superheroes’!
“I know this work is distributed by Shanghai Film and Television. It is a cooperation with Enlight Media. It took more than a year to produce, and it also used the technology of Warner Animation Company.”
The vice chairman nodded. Although he knew about this, he didn't expect this movie to be so important.
“Enlight Media’s two animated films, one is internal, activating the future superhero series! The other is external, opening up foreign markets!”
Han Sanping’s tone was high, even a little Trembling.
The vice chairman was shocked. He knew Han Sanping's status.
The leaders above value me, and I have a good relationship with directors and actors in the entertainment industry.
Although China Film has grown to such a scale, it has something to do with director Su Yi.
It is not Han Sanping’s credit alone, but it has to be said that after Han Sanping took over, Longguo’s film industry flourished.
For a person of this status, it seems that few things can make him lose his composure.
"Enlight Media is also very powerful. Will it produce two animated movies at once?"
Han Sanping did not explain, but smiled.
Strong?
These two animated films are both credited to Su Yi!
Without Su Yi, who would have invested hundreds of millions in animated films?
·····
Online forum.
"That's awesome! I originally liked the role of the clown, but the script gave the clown new life! And the writer and director are both from the Dragon Kingdom, so I like it even more!"
"Previously, Warner executives were When being interviewed, Heath Ledger once said that Heath Ledger is still recovering and undergoing psychological construction. Because the role of the Joker is very classic and he is a person who does not act according to common sense, director Su Yi originally sent him to the film. I went to a real lunatic asylum to learn the essence of it!”
“Haha. This is the first time I’ve heard of sending an actor to a mental hospital, but that’s what Director Su Yi can do. Something!"
"Heath Ledger is so charming, I really forgot about Batman this time."
"I like the movie very much. But we also hope to have our own superheroes!”
Discussions on the Internet have begun to continue to expand.
And Dragon Kingdom is still just discussing it. In the North American market, Joker fans have already started to go a little crazy.
Even define the clown’s celebration day and so on.
Many people dressed as clowns took to the streets and spoke Heath Ledger’s classic lines.
It has even reached the point of fanaticism.
The movie has been removed from shelves, and there were even protests.
Because if it is only released for one month, the box office may not be able to be higher.
At the end of 2008, Titanic ranked first in the global box office!
$2.201 billion!
A few days before it was removed from shelves, The Dark Knight had already entered the top ten at the box office.
Breaking through the $1 billion box office mark.
It also broke the box office record for a Chinese director.
Some time ago, some people estimated that if it continues to be popular, the movie may eventually exceed 2 billion US dollars, but this will take a lot of time, or even be released for more than half a year.
After all, Titanic was released a long time ago.
Moreover, Cameron's shooting skills are very superb, and countless classic shots have been imitated and paid tribute to in other movies.
The Dark Knight originally did not have such heights, but the plot and the gimmick of the first film being all shot in IMAX·3D instantly attracted countless audiences.
A well-known film critic once praised highly: The movie Batman: The Dark Knight has many classic scenes, and most importantly, if you like rigorous plot and scrutiny, then this movie is suitable for you. . If you want to watch a fast food plot, then this movie is also suitable for you!
Warner also knows how to market. Even after Heath Ledger recovered from his illness, he still was not allowed to be interviewed by the media.
In their words, this is to ensure the box office.
There was even news that he was critically ill.
Many viewers were shocked by such news, and many people went to check it out for the second or third time.
In this way, can the box office be high?
Even Warner has started preparing the next movie about the Joker.
After all, Su Yi exchanged scripts with them before.
However, it is still uncertain whether Heath Ledger will play the role.
But no matter what, once the starring role is confirmed, the box office will definitely not be low.
While the global box office was still being tallied, Warner gave a big piece of news.
Heath Ledger, interviewed!
At this moment, the movie fans became excited.
Especially given one day.
Many movie fans from the West, Little Days, Dragon Kingdom and other countries came in a hurry.
····
Warner Bros. Pictures.
It seems that the whole building has been surrounded.
But Diane's face was full of excitement.
"Heath Ledger, this is your good opportunity. Cherish it and continue to maintain your style."
The interview was originally conducted indoors, but some fans blatantly threatened and intimidated them, and even said that if they were in a small indoor , then the whole building will be set on fire.
Face this situation, Warner is also very helpless. Their conference room can accommodate 500 people, but it is called small.
No way, this movie is very popular because it is the first 3D movie.
And it is excellent in all aspects. The movie was removed from the shelves today, and Schilej was interviewed for the first time.
It would be weird if it wasn't hot.
Schileij, who has already brought oil paint, knows how to ‘deal’ with his fans.
His face is still covered in paint.
When I came outside, I was also shocked.
Countless oil paints look even more delicate than my own makeup.
Some are wearing hospital gowns, and some are wearing suits.
At first glance, it’s a bit creepy.
“Hello everyone, I am the actor who plays the Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight. First of all, I would like to thank Director Su Yi from Dragon Kingdom. The reason why I perform like this is because of his encouragement and suggestions. It’s not open!”
“And if it weren’t for Director Su Yi, I might not be able to meet you now!”
The huge power of the sound spread throughout the street.
Almost everyone heard it clearly.
“Furthermore, I think it was director Su Yi who allowed me to see the clown’s madness.”
Heath Ledger’s voice is sincere.
"I am also very grateful to Director Su Yi. Without him 'sending' me to the lunatic asylum, I wouldn't even know my 'potential'!" (End of Chapter)
