Chapter 2 Do you want to cheat?

First of all, let me talk about the guaranteed issuance of 2.8 billion, which does not mean that 2.8 billion will be given...

The guaranteed release of 2.8 billion means that the bet will be based on the box office of 2.8 billion!

According to the account sharing agreement, with a box office of 2.8 billion, Baoqiang’s Lehua Pictures needs to pay at least 800 million...

Original Time and Space, Lehua Pictures is actually the guaranteed distributor of "Alien"...

The guarantee is also 2.8 billion, but...

The two companies have full confidence in "Alien" and stipulated that the total box office revenue after the film is released will exceed 2.8 billion yuan. Both parties can also share the excess according to the film's net income: 30% for the investor and 70% for the guarantee party...

The highest guarantee of 2.8 billion in film history...

It’s shocking!

Really, for "Transformers 5" back then, several companies only guaranteed 2.6 billion!

I remember that at that time, everyone was optimistic that "Crazy Alien" could fill the 4 billion+ gap. There were many marketing accounts and self-media hype. Wang Baoqiang had a precise vision...

Then, Baoqiang should have suffered a small loss...

Because 700 million has been paid in advance, plus 200 million announced...

The split income is 800 million, plus new media copyrights, TV copyrights, overseas copyrights, etc., it will be the same at most, no profit or loss!

But this time and space...

It’s not released during the Spring Festival!

And it will be released in June, there are a lot of Hollywood blockbusters, "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", "Men in Black: Most Wanted", "Toy Story 4"...

Shen Changlin knows that except for "Toy Story 4", these blockbusters have poor reputation and box office...

"Toy Story 4" has a good reputation, but its box office performance is very poor...

The domestic box office performance of the "Toy Story" series is average. In fact, except for "Coco", the domestic box office of Pixar's animations has exceeded 1 billion, and the box office of other animation works has been around 200 million...

The problem is, "Crazy Aliens" is unlikely to be a box office hit!

The box office ceiling for Chinese comedy movies should be "Mermaid"...

But that was a discount on Xing Ye’s decades-long reputation.

So, if you agree to a guarantee of 2.8 billion...

It’s actually a very cost-effective thing!

Even before it was released, it had already earned 340 million...

"And Lehuahua has said that it will also pay 200 million in promotional funds!"

Shen Changlin wondered: "...where did they get the publishing team?"

"Nowadays, new companies are like this. They spend a lot of money to get a hit movie, then hype it up, and directly enter the first echelon..."

This is also the reason why guaranteed issuance has become more and more popular in the past two years.

However, with the serious polarization of domestic movie box office - China currently produces as many as 1,000 movies every year, 700 are released, 400 are ineffectively scheduled, and 100 are influential. But 1% of these movies account for took 43% of the box office.

1% of the movies take 43% of the movie box office, which means that 99% of the movies compete for 57% of the market space. The competitive pressure and difficulty are beyond ordinary people's imagination.

The box office effects of top works are becoming more and more concentrated...

The once popular guarantees of 500 million, 800 million, and 1 billion in the industry are difficult to attract blockbusters, but guarantees of 2 billion and 3 billion are inevitable!

For example, for Shen Changlin's "Assassination of Novelists", a company wants to guarantee the release of 2.5 billion...

Of course it was rejected!

Shen Changlin asked Ning Hao: "What do you think?"

The latter thought for a while and then asked: "Do you think "Alien" can have 2.8 billion?"

Shen Changlin thought for a while: "It's a bit difficult to tell the truth..."

Hearing this, Ning Hao understood and said to Lao Guo: "Forget it, Baoqiang is already miserable enough... let's not trick him!"

"Baoqiang is miserable?"

"Isn't it miserable? Let's not talk about Jin Lian. "The New King of Comedy" screwed him up!"

Shen Changlin was speechless: "...No one cares that the star of "The New King of Comedy" is Wang Baoqiang. Everyone bought the tickets for Zhou Xingchi, and they also criticized Zhou Xingchi!"

"That's true," Ning Hao suddenly thought of something and said happily: "By the way, there are still a lot of people on the Internet looking for compensation for "The New King of Comedy"..."

"I can't help it, these are fans. If one day I make a bad movie, there will probably be fans who will help me defend..."

“…”

Ning Hao shut up...

Shen Changlin changed the subject: "I'm going to shoot "Earth Fire"!"

"Da Liu's "Earth Fire"?"

"Hmm... I feel that "Fire" is not at all different from the disaster movies I have watched before..."

"Yes, this is where Da Liu is awesome!"

Ning Hao is a huge fan of Liu Cixin...

In the original time and space, the copyright of "The Wandering Earth" was transferred to Guo Fan from Ning Hao...



Bao Qiang is really an all-around actor!

He can act in action movies and comedies, and is not bad at literary movies either.

He is truly the best portrayal of a dream chaser.

None of my relatives or friends are in this industry, and my appearance is not outstanding, so I just became a first-line actor.

And his character is really good!

Think about it, a wife and an agent are the closest and most trusted people around him. The person who knows the most about him has a dark history and cannot hide it from his wife and agent. Even if he can hide it from his wife, he can't hide it from his wife or agent. I definitely can't hide it from my agent.

However, the combination of wife + manager failed to come up with any dirty information, not a single solid one.

This alone allows people to make a lot of judgments.

As an actor, he is dedicated to his job and has presented us with wonderful works. He does not evade taxes. This alone has already killed many artists instantly;

As a social celebrity, he is patriotic and has a sense of justice~

Shen Changlin didn't really want to trick him...

What's more, the IP of "Chinatown Adventure" still relies on Baoqiang!

So, he made a phone call and told the truth about the "Alien" situation...

Baoqiang is very obedient...

If he really insists on having his own way, Shen Changlin wouldn't mind making this money!



"The rise of science fiction... this word is a bit big. So far, we have only made "The Wandering Earth"..."

"I think the word rise represents a group of works, not just one!"

Shen Changlin was interviewed by the media...

The questions from the media are very concentrated, and they are all asking about "The Wandering Earth 2"...

Although the Spring Festival has passed, "The Wandering Earth 2" is still in theaters. The box office has already reached 4.5 billion. There is not much suspense about breaking 5 billion, but it should not be able to surpass the box office of the first part - tomorrow, "Alita: Battle Angel" 》is about to be released.

This film will definitely squeeze the filming space of "The Wandering Earth 2"...

A week later, "Captain Marvel" was released...

It almost ended the way for "The Wandering Earth 2".

There is no way, it will be released simultaneously in China and the United States!

"The Wandering Earth 2" is very realistic and revolves around the struggle between the coalition government and the people - the great human rebellion...

Of course, there was no direct filming, it just told the reasons for the human rebellion and a few sporadic battles...

The third part is the climax!

The cost of "The Wandering Earth 2" was 450 million, which was basically the same as the first film. The reason why it was shot so quickly was because the templates for the post-production special effects were all ready-made...

The reporter who interviewed him had different opinions: ""Shanghai Fortress" and "Star Trailer" are both planned to be released..."

"Then we'll see..."

Shen Changlin did not directly say that he was not optimistic about...

But the meaning is obvious.

Before the reporter could ask further questions, Shen Changlin directly stopped the topic: "We'll talk about it after it's released!"

The reporter had no choice but to change the subject: "Then what do you think is the most important thing about Chinese science fiction?"

Shen Changlin thought for a while and replied: "The most important thing is the difference from Western science fiction... After all, science fiction fans have watched too many science fiction movies. If we can't make something new, we might as well not make it!"

"This is also the reason why I admire Liu Cixin. I have read basically all of his works. The themes may have been written by foreigners, but the plot structure is completely different from Western science fiction!"

"...Then you want to film "The Three-Body Problem"?"
