At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 580 This is a blockbuster movie!

Shen Xudong won the right to adapt nineteen works, basically sweeping the list...

"Langya Bang", "Why Shengxiaomo", "Lonely Empty Court Spring Desire Evening" are all big hits.

By the way, I also contacted Shen Haobo and asked him to sign with Bandits, Gu Man, Xinyiwu, Tonghua...

In 2007, the right to adapt popular online novels was only 30 million!

But after 2012, it has increased tenfold insanely.

Basically, it can reach 100 million, and even the single book price of "Tomb Raiders Notes" has reached 200 million.

Nineteen works only cost the company less than 800 million...

Chen Xudong is very conscientious, he is not short of money, and he wants to participate in the scriptwriting of the original work...

The company is not afraid of the loss of funds, and directly opened three dramas, "Scary Step by Step", "Spring Desire Evening in a Lonely Empty Court" and "Why Shengxiaomo"...

Why not do Xinyiwu's works?
Because...Xinyiwu is all related to the campus - we have a policy that does not allow puppy love on TV...

As for the actors...

"Scary Step by Step" is cooperating with Tang Ren, and it is estimated that the heroine will be Liu Shishi, but the hero should be replaced by Qiao Zhenyu or Nie Yuan-Shen Xudong doesn't like Longliqi;

"Lonely Empty Garden Spring Desire Evening" is a sadistic drama, for Zhang Hanyun, the hero is Chen Xiao, and Wang Kai is matched...

"Why Shengxiaomo"... is the company's highlight, Chen Hao plays the heroine, and Zhong Hanliang is invited for the male lead!
Pulling back, Shen Xudong continued: "In the future, the company may implement the producer studio system..."

"Producer's studio?"

"Sign a producer and delegate the production rights to the producer. Each producer's studio is independently accounted for. The producer is the owner of the studio and can sign multiple directors under his banner. The producer has a high degree of business freedom. Take the script and form a team to participate in the production. For different projects, the company will give investment with different conditions."

"Why did you do that?"

Shen Xudong explained: "The company needs to be platformized... we can no longer engage in unified management!"

"…why?"

"This method is more scientific...everything is done in Hollywood." Shen Xudong waved his hand: "There is nothing to discuss about this. The development of the company must be scientific and procedural..."

"You're looking more and more like a boss now!"

"...Stop talking about this..." Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "By the way, let's watch "Transformers" tomorrow..."

"Okay!"

"I want to see the live-action Transformers too!"

……

In 1988, after the "Transformers" animation became popular in the United States, it wanted to enter the Chinese market, so Hasbro approached CCTV with full confidence, but was rejected by CCTV because there were more violent elements, which was not conducive to shaping Screen culture, there is no room for negotiation.

and then?
Hasbro went to Shanghai TV Station and said: Give you free broadcasts!

Anyway, to sell toys!

Then Shanghai TV station got 95 episodes of "Transformers G1", broadcasting one episode every Saturday, and one month later, after four episodes, the Transformers counters in shopping malls in major cities were already full of children.

In 1988, a Megatron cost 108 yuan, and Hasbro set a big banner!
The local satellite TV wanted to ask Hasbro for the right to broadcast, but Hasbro said "5000 episodes".

Coincidentally, Shen Xudong and the others have all watched "Transformers", including the subsequent "Super Warrior" - the transformation of the orangutan captain, the transformation of the yellow leopard warrior...

"Super Warrior" is actually the orthodox sequel to the American version of "Transformers G1".

In other words, the live-action version of "Transformers" has far-reaching influence on the domestic market!
On the one hand, it directly raised the domestic box office limit of Hollywood blockbusters to 2.8 million;
On the other hand, it also made Hollywood pay more attention to the Chinese market-the first film of "Transformers" in the mainland market contributed a box office of 4081 million US dollars, second only to North America and the UK market, and the third in the world...

In the second part, the domestic box office was 5808 million U.S. dollars, making it the largest overseas market excluding North America.

And then "Avatar", the domestic box office was 1.84 million US dollars (before the re-screening), and it is also the largest overseas market excluding North America...

Hollywood directly regards China as a gold mine!
But before that, China Film's prediction for "Transformers" is at most [-] million...

Because the upper limit of Hollywood blockbusters at this stage is around 1 million.

The "Spider-Man" series is so popular, the box office in the mainland is only 1.41 million. In the past few years, the domestic box office champion in North America, "The Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars 3", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" basically did not break the 2 million box office in the mainland. Among them, "Pirates of the Caribbean [-]" was not even released in the mainland!

There's only one Titanic...

To be honest, Hollywood does not pay much attention to the mainland market...

Although I know that the potential is huge, but the potential is potential after all. Before it becomes a reality, I will definitely not pay much attention to it!

Ahem, not only the domestic market, but also the producer and distributor Paramount—Paramount internally evaluated Hasbro and Marvel, decided to abandon Marvel, bet on Hasbro, and then Marvel After selling themselves to Disney, Paramount began to build the Hasbro movie universe, launching the "Super Battleship" and "Special Forces" series...

……

The live-action version of "Transformers", the first one, really satisfies all the audience's expectations for Hollywood blockbusters, that is, cool movies!
The story of Transformers has no core. It is a mechanical alien creature whose technological level and biological level are far beyond human beings fighting on the earth. What they see is that they have fancy deformation abilities, which can inspire all kinds of wild imaginations!

When these appear on the screen, it is enough to make the audience fascinated.

There is a feeling of witnessing the comics, toys and stories that I have been familiar with since I was a child. It is very satisfying to see the transformation of those Autobots, not to mention the addition of real US military equipment. , Street fighting and other fierce battles are full of adrenal glands, which makes people boil...

Then... the director and the production team have to include war, human beings, race, betrayal and even the collision of divinity and humanity in a cool film.

It seems to be very in-depth, but in fact it is superficial and messy!
And... the script is confusing, especially "Transformers 5". I bought a ticket and wanted to watch a bunch of robots chatting for me for two hours. The screen is gone!

Popcorn slices will give me a good refreshment, and pursue the depth of Nima?
After watching the movie, Zhao Xin said directly: "I'll go, this girl is too sexy!"

Shen Xudong was very curious: "Who?"

"It's the girl who opened the hood!"

Shen Xudong smiled: "Oh, her name is Megan Fox...We also invited her to audition for "The Fault in Our Stars" before, but her acting skills are too bad...it doesn't pass at all!"

"Is the acting bad?"

"... Well, if you have any thoughts about her, next time I go to the United States, I will take you with me..."

When Zhao Xin heard this, his eyes lit up first, and then he shook his head: "Forget it, I'll make a living in China..."

Shen Xudong pondered for a while, and then said: "Then you write a script with a stronger taste, more pornographic and bloody, I will find an opportunity to let you go to the United States as a producer, and then invite her to audition..."

"It's not that easy, is it?"

"For sure, she is now a well-known female star in the world... I mean, if you go to Hollywood, you will know that there are many actresses who have not become famous and their looks are not inferior to Megan..."

Shen Xudong popularized science while walking...

The more Zhao Xin listened, the more confused he became, and he simply asked: "You are a producer in the United States, are you playing unspoken rules?"

"No!" Shen Xudong shook his head.

"That's about the same. Let me tell you, you went to the United States to represent Chinese filmmakers..."

Shen Xudong continued: "I just asked a question 'Why should I use you', and they took off their clothes..."
