China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 581 DC movie?

It’s not that Li Yu is proud, he really thinks it’s not worth making a fuss about.

Just a Meng Yu, there is no comparison with Da Tiantian’s peak moment “The Great Wall”.

The former was just an ordinary Xiaohong, but Da Tiantian during the "The Great Wall" period was the most shining actress in China, without a doubt at that time.

However, with Da Tiantian's strength, she could not maintain her peak period and soon slipped from the peak.

Even after her decline, she is still one of the most popular actresses in the country, and it will be difficult for her to return to the top.

She is not a good actress and cannot handle complicated roles.

It is impossible for Li Yu to tailor a heroine for her every time he makes a movie.

"You're right. I've been famous a long time ago. Meng Yu is not very important in my acting career. But... I feel happy that the character I played is popular." Da Tiantian acts to pursue her dreams. She feels happy as long as someone likes the character she plays.

From this perspective, the character Xiaohong is indeed worth celebrating.

Da Tiantian broke a very important piece of news to Li Yu.

"Li Yu, do you know Hua Na DC?"

"Come on, I'm a director. I've seen most of the famous movies in the world. How could I not have seen DC movies? Their superhero movies are the ceiling of superhero movies. They are much deeper than those industrial popcorn movies of Man Wei."

Li Yu thought Da Tiantian was joking. How could he not have heard of DC?
Then again, DC's Batman trilogy reached the pinnacle of superheroes.

But reaching the peak and staying at the peak are two different things.

After reaching the ceiling of superheroes, DC began to decline and was beaten by the up-and-coming star Man Wei in the commercial field.

Although DC fans always laugh at Man Wei's movies as popcorn movies that cannot be compared with DC.

But these DC fans don't play much of a role.

After Manwei's rise, basically all of its films were profitable, and a profit of 100 million yuan from a movie became the norm.

On the other hand, DC Films released "Man of Steel", "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "Suicide Squad" after the peak trilogy.

The box office performances of these three films were 6.68 million, 8.73 million, and 7.45 million respectively, in US dollars.

At first glance, this result is quite good, but the cost of each of these films is over 200 million euros.

From this perspective, the investment is very high and the profit is not very ideal, far from their expectations.

Next year will be the year of DC's morale collapse, because their largest investment in the past decade, "Justice League", with a cost of nearly 3 million, cannot catch up with the above three films in terms of box office and reputation, and lost 6000 to 1 million.

Li Yu didn't understand why Da Tiantian asked him if he knew about DC Films: "Tiantian, why are you keeping me in suspense?"

"You know my uncle made his fortune in the United States and has many connections there. I broke the news to you last time that Man Wei was planning to work with you.

Later they really approached you, but you refused. When they approached me again, I heard from my uncle that DC Films was discussing whether to work with you.

The majority of people in their group support you, and the conditions they offer are quite sincere, much more sincere than Manwei, but there are also some opposing voices. "

Da Tiantian said.

Last time, Man Wei brought out a garbage hero like Shang-Chi to cooperate with Li Yu. He had an arrogance that looked down on others in his bones, as if he wanted you to help me make money, but you have to kneel down first.

Li Yu's knees were not weak, and he was too lazy to pay attention to them.

The information provided by Da Tiantian is generally quite accurate. It was accurate last time for Man Wei, and Li Yu also believes that the authenticity of this DC Films is very high.

Because DC has been having a bad time in recent years and has not made a movie with a rating of more than 7 points.

The only movie that just scored over 7 is next year's Wonder Woman. As mentioned above, their movies in recent years have not been very profitable.

The Chinese film market has risen rapidly and has grown into a market that they cannot ignore.

Especially since their old rival Man Wei is making a lot of money in China, they have seen it all and it is impossible not to be jealous.

Take the movies released in China in recent years as an example. "Avengers 2" had a domestic box office of 14.64 billion yuan, and "Iron Man 3" and "Doctor Strange" were both around 7.5 million yuan.

Even if converted into RMB, it is a number that cannot be ignored.

If DC's movies can achieve the same good results in China as Manwei's, their movies will go from unsatisfactory profitability to ideal profitability.

DC did indeed plan this way. Later, they tried to premiere their movies in China, but the release time in North America was later than that in China.

They have begun to pay attention to the huge Chinese market.

Manwei Pictures saw that Li Yu had great box office appeal in China. In order to make more money in China, they thought about bringing out a rubbish hero to cooperate with Li Yu.

It is not surprising that DC wants to win over Li Yu, because Man Wei's films have successfully entered the domestic market and almost all of them are big sellers.

They don't have it, and they want to come in and get a piece of the pie. The best way is to find a very influential director in China.

By working with such a director, their chances of making a breakthrough in China are much higher.

They have all seen Li Yu's outstanding performance in recent years. Li Yu has movies with box office of over 20 billion yuan, and over one billion yuan is the norm.

When profits are not ideal, there are generally two solutions: increase revenue or reduce expenditure.

If we can open up new sources and develop more water resources, then development is definitely the best solution.

Since it is impossible to develop the resources, we have no choice but to save water.

Later, DC chose Wen Ziren to save money, because Wen Ziren is cheap and he is a director who is very good at saving costs.

"Li Yu, if DC really wants to cooperate with you, will you accept it?" Da Tiantian asked curiously.

"Whether I will accept it depends on whether they are sincere. There are too many investment projects recently and I am poor. If someone is sincere and willing to pay me to make a movie in Hollywood, why should I refuse?" said Li Yu.

If given the chance, Li Yu wouldn't resist taking a trip to Hollywood.

But if he were asked to go on his knees, he would definitely not be willing to do so.

If the other party is sincere and everyone's cooperation is equal, Li Yu can consider going to Hollywood to make a few movies.

One of the things his haters used to criticize him was that being the king in a small fish pond is not a big deal, and the real ability is to jump onto the international stage.

If there is a suitable opportunity, make two globally popular movies to shut these people up and see how they can continue to criticize.

……

It’s a new day, and “Rampage” continues to be on the air.

As the plot deepens, more and more exciting plots begin to emerge.

What's the point of Gao Qiqiang learning how to use the power of others to bully others after reading The Art of War? What's the level of Xu Jiang? I use the same TV as you.

The wonderful plot and interesting gags make the audience unable to stop watching.

In particular, the meme about "the same level as me" has spread all over the Internet, and many emoticons have appeared.
