Chapter 305 Can "Big Winner" be 280 million in the first weekend? (4/5)

After sending Chantal Nong away, Yang Fan asked Shen Changlin in a low voice: "Are you really not interested in DC?"

"What's the point of DC? If we create our own mythical universe, we will be awesome!"

"Mythical universe?"

"I have two ideas, one is "Feng Shen" and the other is "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"!"

"But DC is an IP that can compete with Marvel on a global scale..."

Shen Changlin smiled: "What does it have to do with me? Besides, Warner this company... is too messy!"

Indeed, there are frequent coaching changes...

DC has done too many tricks later on!

It directly tortures top characters such as Superman and Batman until they lose their luster, and instead makes second-tier characters like "Joker" and "Harley Quinn" popular...

Yang Fan suddenly thought of something: "Let's forget about "Fengshen"..."

"Why?"

"I heard that Kung Fu Pictures is operating the "Fengshen" movie, with a huge investment of 3 billion!"

"…crazy?"

Shen Changlin was speechless...

In the original time and space, the "Fengshen" trilogy became an unfinished project - the cost was too high, and once there was a problem with the capital chain, no one could be found to take over!

Although Li Min said that every movie has its destiny, it is still quite rare for a movie like "Fengshen" to spend a lot of money and have all the promotional materials before it is released!

By the way, if a project is unfinished, there are no more than three situations:

One is the "Virgo" director problem. For example, the completion of Schrödinger's "Flowers" was most likely due to Wang Jiawei's "slow work" procrastination. It is said that screenwriter Qin Wen was called in when he was writing "Golden Years" I have written "Flowers". However, "Golden Years" has been aired for more than a year, and "Flowers" has not yet been completed;

The other is the production company. For example, "Fengshen" is a typical project dragged down by the explosion of BJ culture - the "Fengshen" trilogy operated by BJ culture in the original time and space...

BJ Culture is in financial crisis, with constant internal strife, and many projects have not been released due to funding issues, including but not limited to Xu Haofeng's "Poetic Eyes Tired of the World", Lu Chuan's "749 Bureau", etc.

After "Fengshen" was transferred 25% of the investment share by BJ Culture to XZ HP for RMB 600 million, there was no follow-up. It is rumored that "Fengshen" has been looking for investors to take over.

But now the high-priced "Fengshen" is completely a hot potato, and it is too difficult to find a successor.

The last type of situation is that there is a problem with the film itself. In some cases, due to content quality problems, the film studio wants to stop losses in time and is unwilling to invest more funds in subsequent post-production work. Science fiction films are the hardest hit areas that have been abandoned, such as the film version of "Three Kingdoms" "Body", "Starmaker", "Tomorrow's War", etc.

Of course, there is also the artist himself, such as Chen Kexin's "On the Stage" - Na Po Lun after all!

Bringing it back, Shen Changlin hesitated for a moment and then said: "Their filming of "Feng Shen" does not conflict with our filming of "Feng Shen"!"

"How can there be no conflict? They are all on the list of gods!"

"...It doesn't matter, and they can't afford 3 billion!"

"Can't do it?"

"The current film market seems to be booming, but the crisis has already arrived... Just wait, the turning point will arrive in two years at the latest!"

Yang Fan was silent for a while, and then couldn't help but ask: "Are you being a bit alarmist?"

Shen Changlin wasn't angry either: "Haha... just wait and see, when will your boss say I missed it!"

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, then changed the subject: "Going back to China tomorrow?"

"...Well, I went back to edit the film. I've been wasting it for half a month..."



In a movie theater in Shanghai, "The Winner" is running a road show. Shi Shi and Zhang also accepted questions from the audience.

"The last cockroach beating... Of course it's a real beating!"

What I'm asking about is the cockroach-fighting scene at the end of Yu Haijiao played by Shi Shi - when he went out to eat with Yan Jin, he saw a cockroach, picked up his bag and beat it to death, and then Yan Yan came over after paying the bill, and immediately changed his face and said, "There is a cockroach," So scared'…

"I want to ask Zhang Yi, have you finally found that you are suitable for comedy?"

"Thank you..." Zhang Yi smiled: "I read the script and found it very interesting, so I joined. And I didn't regard it as a comedy..."

"Shi Shi, can you tell me how the project "Winner" came about?"

Shi Shi nodded: "The original version seems to be called "Living Straightforwardly"... Li Xiao and Yu Miao recommended me. They originally wanted me to recommend it to Chang Lin. Unexpectedly, after Chang Lin met the two of them, he directly asked Yu Miao to be the director. …”

"That's actually true!" Yu Miao interjected: "The first time Director Shen met me, he asked me a bunch of ideas for adaptation. The second time we met, after reading the script, he asked me if I wanted to be a director. I said yes, but there was pressure. …He said it was okay, everyone has a first time, just get over it, and then specifically helped me appoint Mr. Guo as the producer, and contacted Zhang Yi, Tian Yu, Qiao Shan, Shi Shi, Xie Nan..."

"Now, "The Winner" has a box office of 280 million in its first weekend. What do you think?"

"I'm very grateful to the audience... I see a lot of comparisons between "The Winner" and "Live Straightforwardly" on the Internet... But to be honest, our "Big Winner" is positioned as a black comedy and is a group drama... "Live Straightforwardly" Maybe more like a Korean movie…”

Several media and reporters who were listening below were immediately excited - the director of "The Winner" did not respect the original work!

"Where's the box office?"

"... We originally thought that the box office would be just a return to the original amount, but it was a bit uncomfortable to see that many movies on the market had high box office, but the movies themselves were just like that... Therefore, the publicity team set a target of 600 million!"

I still don’t dare to brag, and I don’t dare to scold directly…

Fortunately, Shi Shi understood the essence of hype, but he didn’t know the essence. He was so blessed that he said from his heart: "I know that the box office of "Pancake Man" is a bit inflated, but you can't say that..."

Yu Miao quickly denied: "I didn't say "Pancake Man"..."

"Are you sure?" He stared at Yu Miao for a while...

Damn it, this guy doesn't know how to cooperate. If it were Shen Changlin, he would definitely say, 'I'm talking about "Pancake Man", what's wrong? It's a bad film, why don't you let people talk about it?'

The hot search is coming...

Well, Chang Lin is the only one!

You have to dare to speak up when promoting a movie. Look at Fan Xiaopang. In order to promote "Ma Zhen: Yang Guifei", Ma Zhen and her breasts are all out!

The most outrageous thing is that netizens enthusiastically discussed the feasibility of this posture from an academic point of view, and she even responded, "If you want to be crooked in artistic creation, just face the wall!"

Gee, he did everything he could - this one scene in the entire movie of "Ma Zhen: Yang Guifei" was so good, and the scene where he was riding a horse was deleted...

He deserves to be thrown into the street!

Pulling back, Shi Shi smiled: "I'll let you go!"

"So Shi Shi, what do you think of the quality of "Pancake Man"?"

Shi Shi thought for a while and said: "I can't say, but I invested in "Pancake Man" mainly because of "Diaosi Man"..."

Not counting "Pancake Man", "Pancake Man" has been in theaters for 18 days, and the box office has already exceeded 1 billion...

After "The Winner" was released, the focus of publicity will definitely be on "The Winner".

But online, netizens are more concerned about how much money Shi Shi earned through three movies...

"Monster Hunt", "Pancake Man", "Winner", and Shi Shi Studio are all investors.
