Chapter 268: Unexpected domestic box office, and Han Sanping’s thoughts on future movies!

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 was both commercial and literary. Where there was literature and art, there was a plot that was incomprehensible.

If the audience is not interested in superheroes, they may choose not to watch the movie.

After all, the fare is not cheap.

Even if it's not high, it's normal. Su Yi doesn't care about it.

His future path lies in the system, and he has already achieved wealth and freedom. The reason why he does not have luxury cars and mansions is because he is still in the system and cannot be too arrogant. However, in fact, his current food and drink expenses have already exceeded the limit invisibly. For ordinary people, Su Yi only gets 5% of the box office share this time because of China Film's additional investment. He knows that the box office will be high, but he doesn't care.

Han Sanping felt helpless when he saw that Su Yi didn't even ask.

At this age, are you really too 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, 1.8 million!"

1.8 million?
Su Yi was not surprised, but felt a little lacking.

"Fast and Furious 7", when it was released in 15, had a box office of 4 million on the first day!
But the times are different, this is already a very impressive box office revenue!
The Night Banquet, released in 2006, only grossed 1.3 million at the box office!
The film premiered and instantly killed his final box office.

"What about the other movies?"

"007 Quantum of Solace only grossed over 600 million at the box office."

"Kung Fu King is higher, 1100 million."

Su Yi smiled, the market gap is really huge, 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 started to criticize, but there is a sense of topic, 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 kind of traffic that comes from being scolded. Chen Da's director Wuji has been scolded and depressed since then - it's still because of your Su Yi's reputation."

Han Sanping said convinced.

Facing such an opponent, Han Sanping did not expect that he could achieve such results.

Originally, he was thinking that this time the movie might drop at the box office at the beginning, and then slowly increase the box office by relying on the quality of the movie to promote it.

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 a lot of IPs, such as the four major classics, some traditional myths and stories.

But what is lacking is a good script, and it is still difficult to adapt the script.

"I have discussed cooperation with the film before. I will acquire the animation development rights from the film."

Han Sanping's heart moved, he knew about this.

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 with Batman, I will not shoot another Batman series after gaining experience."

Originally, this was all a secret, something Su Yi couldn't reveal.

Enlight Media and Shanghai Film Group are both negotiating and preparing.

But we need to wait for the animated movie to be released and make money before the project can be officially launched.

There was no need to report to Han Sanping originally, but when the chat ended today, Su Yi didn't hide anything.

"Tell me carefully, we at China Film Academy will definitely not let this go."

Superhero movies involve the country's cultural export, and to put it bluntly, movies and tourism have always been cultural exports, 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 future mainstream work 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 well-known director. The conversation between the two was enough to influence the entire Dragon Boat Festival. China’s 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 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 Calabash Baby, which was originally adapted from a myth, it can completely leave the ancient bloodline and find a 'mantle' in today's cities. Just like Spider-Man, an ordinary person suddenly has 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 this time the bat I filmed Xia Xia, but regarding the future direction of superheroes, I am still optimistic about the pace of Marvel movies."

Seeing Su Yi's serious expression, Han Sanping didn't say much, but listened carefully.

He knew that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person. Even those foreign investors who 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 I was 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 fast food culture, such as Burgers and the like. They are faster and sell them in more ways. Just like Iron Man, the cost is high, the production is big, and the fighting is rougher and simpler, but it still packs a punch! The plot needs to be linked, not suspense. Too big."

Su Yi expressed his thoughts.

To be honest, both Marvel and DC only dared to make movies about them after years of development and fan base.

The development of DC and Marvel is also in two directions.

Su Yi knew that the box office of future Marvel movies would exceed the box office of DC movies, and it was still a laggard.

Especially after the linkage, the box office and praise have increased a lot.

"The first-day box office this time is so high. I think it may even 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, even if it had been said by Chen Kaige, he would have scorned it.

But it was what Su Yi said that had such great credibility.

"This is a phenomenon. Therefore, if our own country's superhero movies want to develop, we cannot take this route."

The future global film 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 most 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 rely solely 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 53.33 billion.

And what about Jia Ling? Two movies were filmed, and the box office reached 84.87 billion!
And Wu Jing, for the sake of development at the beginning, he went to Hong Kong to shoot movies.

I was looked down upon by others, did fake things during filming, was hit with instruments, etc. After going around for a while, I realized that the mainland market is the best!

A movie called Wolf Warriors 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.

Don't look at some domestic and foreign audiences who sneer at domestic films, but such a market makes North American and Western capital's greedy eyes shine.

But Su Yi's 'ambition' was even greater. After all, Marvel movies developed rapidly and made money at the global box office.

Dragon Kingdom movies have strength and potential, but they often learn from foreign movie models.

For example, the second movie of Dawan Entertainment bought 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, Director Han, that no matter what kind of movie, there is a market in the Dragon Kingdom. The previous movie Parasite that satirized the Bangzi Kingdom, and then the patriotic melody movie "Changjin Lake", and now " "Batman: The Dark Knight" all shows that our movie market is very good. Audiences are willing to spend money on some excellent movies."

The two 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 confused in his heart. They were China Film Group. What was the full name of China Film Group?
Moreover, Shanghai Film and Western Film are both competitors, but in fact they control the right to import films. Other film groups are not competitors at all.

China Film Group 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 Meiying, the layout was already laid out. My idea at the time was not only to produce animated movies, but also to set up my own super IP - Tangren Company. Did you know that? "

Although Su Yi was a little sleepy, when he mentioned these things, he instantly became energetic.

"I know, the company that filmed Sword and Sword 1 has invested in several movies before, and the box office was average."

Han Sanping thought for a while before recalling it.

"Their Fairy Sword series is also one of the planned 'superhero' IPs."

Because of his own appearance, the classic Sword and Sword 3 project has been delayed again and again.

Mr. Cai from Tang Dynasty had called him because of this incident, saying that the project had been started in 2005, but now, all the leading actors they had previously chosen had been 'kidnapped' and run away.

And now even if I want to use it, I 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. The same is true for Calabash Wa. The abilities of the seven gourd dolls were first shot in an animated movie, which aroused a high degree of discussion, and then ended with several gourd dolls being sealed or for some reason, to lay the groundwork...if by then these abilities suddenly appeared in a city Will young people 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 make him feel interesting. At the same time, due to some ancient reasons, some monsters have 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 by then it can also be compared with Fairy Sword. Or there are interactive easter eggs in other movie series——"

Han Sanping looked at Su Yi in surprise.

It was as if it was the first time they met, 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 scale needs to be more open. For example, in Batman: The Dark Knight this time, there were explosions on the streets, law enforcement agents and traitors. If it were in the Dragon Kingdom, I might not be able to let go."

This boy, what he said today was prepared a long time ago?

Han Sanping was shocked. Su Yi had just said that he had already had these ideas when he went to Shangmeiying, and he had obtained the authorization to develop all the animation copyrights of Shangmeiying.

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 kid, everything is really going according to plan.

But no matter what, this is an idea!

The most difficult thing is to build a reputation. Su Yi has already completed this task, so it doesn't matter if he applies to the leader himself.

As long as it doesn't involve politics and is relaxed appropriately, the higher authorities can still agree.

"Create tomorrow together!"

Han Sanping reached out 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 for your help, leader!"

Su Yi smiled and held Han Sanping's hand.

·····
Media news.

"Batman: The Dark Knight, domestic first-day box office is 1.8 million US dollars! Foreign first-day total box office: 1 million US dollars!"

After Su Yi went home to catch up on his sleep, Han Sanping asked China Film to release the 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?
The potential to become the number one box office player in the world!
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 and saw the propaganda posters.

"I'm not interested. Neither the stupid Batman nor the people from the Dragon Country can attract my interest - this director's name is very familiar!"

"It's the director who previously shot "12 Years a Slave"!"

"If it's him, I decided to go and have a look!"

Several people regarded it as "repaying the favor". After all, the movie also brought them a lot of income at that time, especially the memorable zero-yuan purchase.

But now when I go to the cinema, it's much too late.

Cinemas in many cities, especially the 3D version of Batman: The Dark Knight, are already sold out! (End of chapter)
