This director is very reliable

Chapter 578 I will make up the head (35)

At the airport, Shen Changlin was stopped by a group of media, who asked him his opinion on the box office of "Manslaughter" exceeding one billion...

"The box office of "Manslaughter" has exceeded one billion... Isn't this a normal thing? A good movie, a good director, a good actor... An excellent movie has both fame and fortune, what is so surprising?"

Then the media asked a question that surprised Shen Changlin, they said 'no traffic participation'...

"There are no traffic stars... Who told you that a movie with traffic stars must be a big hit at the box office?"

"Didn't I say it before, traffic stars are just a niche hobby, and mainstream movies are for the public!"

"Then "My Girlhood"..."

""My Girlhood"...that's also a good script, otherwise, why can't "Gardenia Bloom" and "Secret Fruit" compare to it? The youth films we make are different from most fan films in the industry. We are not a shoddy circle. Money movie!"

"My opinion on traffic? I don't have any opinion. A good actor is a good actor, and a bad actor is not good." After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "I use Yiyang Qianxi because I think he is a good actor... Before filming "The Battle of Baoshan", he stayed on the crew for two months and never asked for leave. This time he filmed "Eight Hundred" for three months and never asked for leave. Acting... good at observation, and I also put my heart into it, the most important thing is that my talent is not bad..."

The reporters have to ask again, Shen Changlin has already boarded the car under the protection of the security team...

With lingering fear: "What's the matter?"

Guo Songjiang, who came to pick him up, said: "Recently, the Internet is advocating the big IP + traffic model, thinking that this is the victory of the Internet algorithm!"

"...Hey! Fan economy!"

The fan economy has been hyped by the mass media and the entertainment industry in recent years. The capital is enthusiastically concocting "big IP + small fresh meat" formula products, as if this industry is so simple that only mastering addition and subtraction is enough.

A bunch of marketing accounts are crazy about brainwashing, making many people think that domestic movies = small fresh meat movies!
I feel that finding a flow is the correct answer for the movie.

This is indeed the case. In the past three years, "Little Times" has been released three more times, and the filmmakers who all want to get a ride are also based on the principle of "whoever is popular" invites whoever is popular, and provides support for Ke Zhendong, Han Geng, and Wu Yi. The fans of Fan Fan and Li Yifeng have created many movies of varying quality...

But the box office of these movies is not bad, at least the studios are making money!
In the original time and space, until "Shanghai Fortress" was released, some people started talking about it: "Why does Lu Han have so many fans, but the box office of "Shanghai Fortress" is so poor?" '

When did the movie box office equate with the number of actors and fans?

"But fans' money is really easy to make!"

"Take a long-term view, we are not running away with one vote..."

Guo Songjiang smiled: "I just said it casually... By the way, do you know "Rim of the Pacific Ocean?"

"I know... Mech Warrior!"

"Legendary Pictures wants to continue to create this IP...because the last one has a good reputation."

Shen Changlin scratched his head: "I remember that the first part of "Pacific Rim" failed to recover the cost?"

"...But word of mouth is not bad, and China's box office is very high...Many people think that relying on the Chinese market can guarantee the return of the sequel of "Peace Rim"!"

Shen Changlin frowned: "It's too optimistic!"

""Fast and Furious 6" was released almost at the same time as "Pacific Rim".

""Fast Fury" is different. They have the foreshadowing of the first six films, and Paul Walker died. Has anyone died of "Pacific Rim?"

"Mechs are the romance of Chinese men!"

"Gundam fans give me extra play! My romance is 'I will make up the head', I have never seen Gundam!"

Shen Changlin has always despised the saying that XX is a man's romance...

Except for a 20-year-old girl who is the only true love for a man, he is very fickle in other aspects!

"I've seen Macross and Evangelion..."

The driver Xiao Xu interjected.

Shen Changlin took over the topic: "There is also "Light Energy Warrior", draw a circle, make a head..."

Xiao Xu also went on to say: ""Dragon Fighter", "Super Warrior"..."

""Super Warrior"?"

"Yellow Leopard Warrior transforms!"

"Oh, that, that's made by Hasbro, the Transformers series..." Speaking of this, Shen Changlin looked at Lao Guo with contempt: "You Gundam fan, what else can you say?"

"...I didn't say I'm a Gundam fan...I said Mecha...The first anime I watched was RoboCop..."

""Robocop"? The one with Mare Falcon?"

Lao Guo explained: "No, his film is a remake. The first version was filmed in 1987. There are animated versions and live-action movie versions. It was introduced to CCTV and broadcast..."

"Anyway, I'm not interested in "Pacific Rim"...Legendary Pictures seems to be selling themselves recently, I heard that Old Wang is planning to take over..."

Guo Songjiang nodded, and commented by the way: "The debt is hundreds of millions of dollars, even if you sell yourself, you can't sell it for a good price!"

"Not always!"

Shen Changlin smiled mysteriously...

Thomas Tull is very powerful. It should be the end of the year when a piece of news is about to break out. It is not a Hollywood studio that has been in trouble for years looking for a resale, but a Chinese company that is lucky to acquire a famous Hollywood studio!

The famous Hollywood studios are very expensive...

……

"Pacific Rim", "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" including "Hansel and Gretel: The Witch Hunters" are all works that did not do well at the North American box office and relied on overseas comebacks.

The most famous of course is the "Resident Evil" series, which has almost become a cash cow for Sony!

80% of the revenue comes from overseas.

But seriously, is there any major Hollywood production that relies solely on the Chinese market to achieve revenue balance?

Uh…

Yes, "Venom" is...

18.7 billion box office, the cost of this drama is [-] million dollars...

Pulling back, it is understandable that Hollywood wants to rely on the Chinese market.

The Chinese market is theoretically three times that of North America, the largest single market in the world...

And "Fast and Furious 7" also proved the market capacity.

Therefore, it is understandable for Legend to take out the "Rim of the Pacific 2" project...

The problem is that Shen Changlin has no confidence in "Pacific Rim 2". Even if it can be modified to the extent that most domestic audiences are satisfied, the probability of profit is still very small... Without him, the genre of "Pacific Rim" is too expensive .

The first part of the game cost 1.9 million US dollars, and the second part, to expand the battle, the cost must be increased by at least 50% online...

The risk is too great to afford!

But, to be honest, he was quite interested in mechs.

Make five lions, make up the feet and legs, make up the torso and arms, and I'll make up the head...

Think about it and feel it!

It’s just that the copyright is not easy to handle—after the live-action version of “Transformers” became a big hit, the live-action version of “God of War” was put on the agenda. Unfortunately, the copyright of the original work was complicated, the characters were chaotic, and it was a long time ago, so it has not been resolved.

In the original time and space, until 2022, the rich and powerful Amazon spent a huge amount of money to win the live-action movie rights of "Voltron".

Along the way, all kinds of messy thoughts in my head reached the company.

"Director Xiaopeng has arrived!"

"...Is Yi Qiao here?"

"Well, the two of them together..."

Shen Changlin nodded: "Then I'll go up first."
