The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 230 The Biggest Winner

"The biggest dark horse in the summer of 2015 - "Detective Chinatown"!"

""Detective Chinatown" dark horse counterattack "detective + comedy" created a box office myth!"

"Chen Sicheng devoted himself to creating an original IP, and "Detective Chinatown" became a dark horse at the box office!"

"This company releases another 10 billion good film, and DreamWorks has become a golden sign?"

"Chen Jingxing has a vicious vision, and he has never failed to invest in the production of movies!"

"DreamWorks' box office is expected to exceed 30 billion this year! Only two movies are needed to achieve it!"

The media who deliberately played down the recent weird box office performance of "Fantasy City" put all their enthusiasm into praising "Tang Detective". Of course, the box office performance of "Tang Detective" is indeed worthy of this kind of praise.

Even though "Fantasy City" has injected a lot of water, the box office will still be the same as the current "Tang Detective", and it has no stamina at all, and its reputation has completely collapsed. This is the difference between him and "Monster Hunt". The word-of-mouth of "Jianghe" has always been maintained above the level. Now, except for the two theaters in the Jianghe system, other theaters' schedules for "Illusion City" have dropped significantly, the lowest even less than 10%.

Even if the water continues to pour in, the final box office of "Fantasy City" is almost impossible to exceed 10 billion, and it will probably be between 8 million and 9 million.

Chen Sicheng reversed part of his reputation and image by relying on "Tang Detective". After all, he is not only a director, but also one of the screenwriters, so his current reputation is "Chen Gou is greasy as always, and marrying Tong Liya is still unforgivable, but it is true. It is the degree of personal talent".

In addition to changes in word-of-mouth and reputation, commercial value and status in the world have also soared. No one has mentioned that his highlight moment is positioned as an actor's career. He has basically realized his transformation, and he is a top young director second only to Chen Jingxing. The future can be expected The most famous filmmaker can almost be tied with Xu Zheng.

Except for Chen Sicheng, the leading actors of the movie have also benefited a lot, especially Liu Haoran. "Tang Detective" not only has a ready-made box office record, but also is a series of movies, which is equivalent to directly being next to a golden hen. With good popularity among passers-by, the limelight directly surpassed the top star Wu Tingxuan who was ridiculed by netizens because of the box office fraud of "Illusion City".

The biggest beneficiary is actually DreamWorks and Chen Jingxing.

In fact, DreamWorks' domestic box office share of "Tang Detective" even exceeds that of Chen Jingxing's own films. In Chen Jingxing's previous films, DreamWorks has always been the main producer with a 50% share.

In the "Tang Detective" project, DreamWorks is not only the producer accounting for 50% of the share, but also the main distributor. The main distribution work of the entire film is handled by DreamWorks. You can also get a share of about 7 points.

If calculated according to the final box office of 10 billion yuan, then DreamWorks is enough to get more than 2.5 million yuan in accounts, excluding taxes and investment costs, the net income is also more than 1.8 million yuan.

And this is not the end, because before investing in "Tang Detective", the agreement signed between DreamWorks and Chen Sicheng agreed that if there is a second part of "Tang Detective", DreamWorks has the priority investment right, and the share is not less than 40%.

At that time, Chen Sicheng was looking for investment everywhere for "Tang Detective", so naturally he would not refuse this contract. He himself was not sure whether "Tang Detective" would be successful, let alone filming the second part. Instead, it seemed that he trusted and valued him, so naturally there was no reason to refuse.

Of course, "Tang Detective" is a big hit now. It is impossible to say that Chen Sicheng has no regrets in his heart. After all, his company also has a quarter of the investment in "Tang Detective", calculated based on the box office of 10 billion , After excluding the investment cost, he can also get a profit of 5000 million.

With the success of the first part, pledging the copyright of the second part to the bank can easily lend out [-] to [-] million yuan, and there is no need to worry about raising investment.

However, he is not a prophet, and the "afterthought mentality" is not advisable. Now that the agreement has been signed in black and white, Chen Sicheng will not offend DreamWorks or Chen Jingxing for nothing. The key is that he can't afford to offend either.

Although investing in "Tang Detective 2" may make DreamWorks' "golden body" punctured, and Chen Jingxing may be judged as "unknown film", but making money is not shabby, after all, it is not his director or screenwriter. The work is just an investment. Besides, although the quality of "Tang Detective 2" in the previous life is not as good as the first one, it is not a bad movie, nor will it cause any damage to word of mouth.

Although the sequel film is still a long way from being approved for filming, the investment matters were almost settled when "Tang Detective" was still in theaters.

The sense of smell of the capital is a spirit. Seeing a box office dark horse rising, shooting a sequel is a sure thing. After the movie is released, it will be too late for you to find Chen Sicheng even if you give him money.

DreamWorks continues to be the largest investor in "Tang Detective 2", Chen Sicheng's own company is the second largest investor, and the joint theater chain and Beijing Film Studio share the remaining investment share.

After finalizing the investment intention of "Tang Detective 2", Chen Jingxing turned his focus back to the preparation of "Matrix".

Liang Jiaban is one of the most well-known martial arts guidance teams in China. The leader is Liang Guohan, a native of Hong Kong Island, whose ancestral home is Jinmen.

Whether martial arts can be played is not conclusive, but Liang Guohan is very good at designing martial arts movements, pays attention to the disassembly of moves, and is very ornamental, just like dancing, has a strong aesthetic appreciation, which can be called the combination of strength and beauty.

The reason why his martial arts guidance team is called Liangjiaban is because he provides a packaged service, not only can design action routines according to the requirements of the script and the director's requirements, but also has ready-made martial arts substitutes, male and female tall and short There are all, and there are coaches who specialize in training martial arts moves.

Martial arts action focuses on dismantling and is entertaining, so the difficulty of the action is generally not low. Most actors may not be able to do it in full, so a qualified martial arts stand-in is needed, and of course it cannot be a full-time stand-in. Some scenes still require actors to do it in person. If it is completed, then the coach needs to conduct crash training for specific moves.

All of the above, the Liang family class can provide one-stop service, which is the basis for him to settle down. Of course, the money he takes is naturally much more than that of a single martial arts finger.

However, because domestic martial arts film and television dramas have gradually cooled down, and more and more attention has been paid to "elegant", "slow motion", "fighting artistic conception", and technologies such as editing and special effects have also made great progress, team service projects such as Liang Jiaban seem to be The price-performance ratio is a bit low, and there are fewer and fewer jobs, so in recent years, the team has also begun to break up into pieces, taking orders and taking individual orders.

Chen Jingxing also spent a huge amount of money to invite the entire Liang family class again. After all, the complete Liang family class rarely fits together. Everyone has their own schedule and orders, and it is not easy to get together.

That is to say, Liang Guohan, as the master of the entire Liang family class, issued a call, coupled with the generous efforts of DreamWorks, finally made this gold medal martial arts team reunite after many years.
