Cute baby star grows

Chapter 103 The sequel cannot be filmed

(Xiao Xiaoshao has a hailstorm here, which is really frightening. After returning home from get off work, it rained for two hours, and the power was cut off for two hours.)

A full 8000 million high box office wow!

This is not a small amount of money. It can be said that apart from the 500 million that Dad paid out of his own pocket, the rest of the income is from Dad alone.

In other words, although the film invested 1700 million, in fact, as a producer, Dad only spent 500 million.

The other 1200 million is purely a sponsor brought in by Dad's studio, and does not participate in the box office share.In other words, 8000% of the 30.00 million box office belongs to Dad.

Do the math, how much should there be?
2400 million yeah!
In addition to the 500 million invested by Dad himself, he made a net profit of 1900 million.Of course, it also included father's director's fee, Zhou Nianwang's appearance fee, and his sister's appearance fee.

It's just that everyone is a family, so there is no need to distinguish so clearly.

"Shooting, I have to make a sequel, it's a steal of money!" Dad excitedly kept rubbing the back of his hands, happily walking back and forth in the living room.

King Zhou Nian didn't want to make a sequel, but seeing how happy his father is now, if he put forward his point of view at this time, it would be no wonder that his father would agree!

"It's okay to shoot, but this time, Dad, don't have too many illusions." Thinking about it, King Zhou Nian still couldn't help but pour a pot of cold water down.

"Why? With such a great momentum, shouldn't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?" Dad asked puzzled.

Zhou Nianwang shook his head, and analyzed for his father: "Look, Dad, the reason why we can make so much money from this movie is related to the sponsors you recruited and the money you invested. The money you invested this time Sponsors do not participate in the box office dividends at all, so you must have more money, am I right?"

Without waiting for his father to say something, Zhou Nianwang continued to analyze: "The stars of the leading role basically ask for some friendship price. You made so much money in this movie, how dare you give them a friendship price for the next movie?"

Dad was speechless.

There is no need for Zhou Nianwang to say more, just take the three top stars as an example, none of their appearance salaries is lower than 800 million.Among them, Ale's 1000 million appearance fee is not counted.If all of these were given at the market price, the salary of the three of them alone would be 2600 million.

If there is another sequel, at least 500 million will be spent on special effects, right?

Other shooting venues and equipment rental, as well as group performances and other expenses, add up to 200 million, right?

If you calculate these, how much do you need?

There is also your promotional expenses in the later stage, which is another big one. It is impossible to take chances and hope that someone will come to such a play again, right?
Even if 1000 million was thrown in for publicity, the total cost would have already exceeded 4000 million.Not counting his personal salary, and Zhou Nianwang's appearance fee.

If all of them are counted, I am afraid that the 5000 million investment will be used up.

Think about it, for an investment of 5000 million, how much box office is needed to pay back?
A full 5000 million.

The box office of your first film was only 8000 million. Do you still want your second sequel to earn 5000 million at the box office?

King Zhou Nian felt that it was enough.

Where have you ever heard that a sequel made a better movie than the first?

Even if there are, I am afraid that there are only a few of them!
Therefore, Zhou Nianwang did not agree with the re-shooting of the sequel.

"Then we can't do nothing, right?" Dad asked a little aggrieved.

Just fought a big victory, now is the time when the morale is like a rainbow, how could it be settled down?

Zhou Nianwang pondered for a while, and said, "Dad, I met an author on the Internet, and I found a short story he wrote very interesting. How about... Shall I talk to him?"

"An author on the Internet? What name?" Dad asked, frowning.

In my father's impression, writers on the Internet are full of water.It's okay to lie to a child of his own son's age, but if you want to lie to yourself, I'm afraid it's still a little too late.

"Young master of the Zhou family." King Zhou Nian blurted out without thinking.

"Little young master of the Zhou family? It seems... I seem to have heard of this name somewhere." Dad fell into deep thought, trying to recall this person.

King Zhou Nian shook his head helplessly, and reminded: "New Oolong Courtyard."

"Oh. I remember. The movie you persuaded Brother Tianlong to invest in was the script written by the young master of the Zhou family, right?" Dad suddenly realized.

He also looks like he has a good memory.

People in their thirties, why do they still have the disposition of a child?

King Zhou Nian nodded and asked, "Do you want me to talk to him?"

In fact, there is no such person as Zhou family Xiaoxiaoshao.All of this is nothing more than a fictional character intentionally drawn out by King Zhou Nian in order to make the movie he wants to make.

But dad doesn't know, he doesn't usually surf the Internet very much.Besides, even if he goes online and wants to track down the author whose online name is Zhou Jiaxiaoshao, he is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack on the Internet.

There are so many people, it depends on how you check.

"Is it reliable?" Dad asked with some concern.

King Zhou Nian gave his father a blank look, and thought to himself: "I'm not reliable, can I still count on you?"

But this is at most just thinking about it in my heart, and I still said in my mouth: "It's reliable. If it's not reliable, how did you get the first movie you made?"

Dad thought about it, yes, he is a professional, and he is not very familiar with screenwriting.Anyway, when the script is brought, the decision to shoot or not is in his hands.

"That's fine, you should contact him first and ask about copyright and other things. By the way, let's ask him about the price. Don't let us take it seriously, and the other party will open his mouth again." Dad said no said reassuringly.

OK, you can say whatever you want.

What else could King Zhou Nian say besides nodding his head?
Work hard and write about your favorite movie!

King Zhou Nian had his own plan, he didn't just come here to find a movie and start shooting randomly.His first choice now is that the shooting location must have his own island, and the starring role must also have one of his own.

Limited to these two hardware conditions, it is generally really difficult to find a movie to shoot.In particular, it is necessary to make a good movie and at the same time make a movie that can make money.

Sometimes, a good movie often does not mean that it can get a high box office.

Like "Brothers and Sisters" at the beginning, it doesn't matter how high the rating is, if the box office can't keep up, it will never make money.
