At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 700 I don't recommend buying copyright

The Twilight Saga is really crazy...

It was released on June 6. Under the premise that the peers were not optimistic, it won a high box office of 27 million US dollars in the first weekend, surpassing "Wanted", which was released at the same time, and became the top weekly box office champion!
The latter earned $5136 million in the first weekend.

"Wanted" starred Angelina Jolie and cost 8000 million U.S. dollars, while "Twilight" cost 3500 million U.S. dollars, and the starring lineup was all fresh faces...

The key point is that the professional word-of-mouth of "Twilight" is extremely poor.

The selling point is the love triangle among werewolves, vampires and humans, um, the domineering vampire is in love with me!

Just look at the setting, vampire: eternally young and handsome appearance, skin tone is even colder than cold white skin, high nose and deep eyes, pupils will change color, skin will shine like diamonds when exposed to the sun, noble vampire Races can not only live forever, but are superior to humans in speed, strength, and hearing...

What are so many abilities used for?
Most of the time, it is to pave the way for protecting the heroine Bella and showing her full boyfriend power.

So when Bella is in danger, he can stop the speeding car with one hand and save her life at a critical moment...

Why do two species love each other?

The hero Edward has the ability to read minds, but Bella is the only one he can't read.

That's right, this setting is also to pave the way for the love line. Anyway, the heroine wants to be different from others, and she wants to be the most unique fireworks.

Edward explicitly told Bella 'I was born to kill, I want to kill you, I've never thirsted so much for a human's blood. '

Bella's reaction after knowing that he wanted to kill herself was: "I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid that I will lose you."

Well, typical life is less important than love...

After reading the original novel, Shen Xudong wanted to use his toes to find a three-bedroom and one-living room...

Indeed, Robert Pattinson was quite right when he said 'this bestseller should never have been published'...

So, how can a professional review pass?

Generally speaking, for a movie with a cost of 3500 million US dollars, the special effects are slightly equal to zero, and it must be supported by the plot. As a result, the plot of "Twilight" is poor...

It's vulgar and bloody, to the point of being unreasonable.

But stepping on a horse is a big deal!

And it's unreasonable!
Although many organizations expressed their disapproval of the stamina of "Twilight"...

But stepping on a horse, who cares about the so-called stamina?

With $7700 million in its first weekend, it doesn't matter if the box office doesn't sell in the future, the box office in the first three days is already higher than the total box office of the average movie for several weeks.

The commercial wins are obvious.

And after entering the working day, "Twilight Saga" did not directly plummet - the first working day received 601 million US dollars.

According to the predictions of relevant agencies, "Twilight Saga" is likely to break [-] million US dollars at the box office!

In an interview, Shen Xudong took the initiative to mention Paramount MTV Films and Fox Films, which gave up "Twilight"...

"Thank you to the big companies for giving up changing the original work, otherwise, we would have no chance to buy the adaptation rights!"

“…but The Twilight Saga got a bad rap…”

Shen Xudong: "This is a movie that fans of the original book are very satisfied with. You can ask all the audience who have watched the movie. If she is a fan of the original book, then she must be very satisfied with the movie! Some movies choose the audience!"

……

Of course Shen Xudong was interviewed.

"The Kefulo Files" and "Twilight", the two films once again announced the return of Wonderful Studios.

And these two films are not fringe themes for small investments.

"The Cloverfield Files" is a serious apocalyptic theme; "Twilight" is also a mainstream vampire theme in Hollywood!
The cost of the two, one is 2500 million, and the other is 3500 million. It is still a small investment with high returns.

Oh, regarding the cost of "Twilight", Shen Xudong originally wanted to break it down to 6500 million US dollars, but... think of the box office success of this movie, and a bunch of reports that followed.

Forget it.

He is not Disney, so there is no need to blindly report the cost-"Mulan" costs as much as [-] million US dollars?
Let's not talk about the story itself's succession and transformation, but just talk about the effects, special effects, etc. It can be seen that it was a big production of [-] million US dollars?
Besides, he is financing, if he does not show his ability to make money, who will invest money for you?
To sum it up, Shen Xudong was interviewed mainly because there were too many interested media, "Hollywood Reporter", "Vanity Fair" and "Variety Show" all made appointments for interviews.

Shen Xudong never refused to come, and even appeared on two talk shows and variety shows.

As a producer and producer, he will definitely not say that "Twilight" is a bad movie, but that it is a dream-seeking journey for teenagers! '

Or "We made "Twilight", at the beginning, we just wanted to meet the requirements of book fans to see this story on the big screen. Youth novels with fantasy colors must have audiences who don't like it...you think it's ugly, Then don't look, there's no need to make a scene, even to label the loyal Twilight audience with stupid names, it's a form of bullying! '

Hmm...he's starting a fight.

Just like Guo Xiaosi angered a bunch of film critics after "Little Times" was released.

It's just that Shen Xudong did it more openly, and he labeled the bad reviewer of "Twilight" as a "bully" very openly!

He is very clear that the follow-up box office of "Twilight" depends entirely on controversy.

Is this broken movie really liked by normal audiences?
Of course, he is very honest in private. For example, he called Chen Xi and complained about this movie: "A vampire who loves a brain, a human who loves a brain, and a werewolf who loves a brain. One word describes it: dog blood! "

Chen Xi actually flew to Hong Kong to watch "The Twilight Saga"...

After reading it, the whole person is not good!

Isn't this fucking Qiong Yao drama!

So, I immediately asked Shen Xudong: "Then why is it so popular?"

"I suspect that foreigners have never read Mary Su literature."

In fact, Shen Xudong couldn't figure out why "Twilight" was so popular...

But he knows memory doesn't lie!

So, he tried his best to make "Twilight"...

However, when Chen Xi asked about domestic copyrights, Shen Xudong hesitated: "I think it's better to be cautious...

"What is there to be cautious about? Buying out the copyright for $150 million... Don't you think that such a popular "Twilight Saga" will sell less than 2000 million copies in China?"

Chen Xi wants to use 150 million US dollars to buy out the distribution rights of "Twilight" in the mainland...

For a masterpiece with a box office of over 150 million in North America, the copyright fee of [-] million US dollars is simply the price of cabbage.

But Shen Xudong knows that the domestic box office of the "Twilight Saga" series is very poor, and it seems that none of them have exceeded 2000 million...

Including Hong Kong and Taiwan, the box office is also very poor...

"I really don't think it's possible to pass 2000 million... If you want to buy a batch of films, I suggest you consider "Robot Wall-E". The copyright fee of about 200 million US dollars can be won!"

"A Pixar animated film?"

"right…"

"That doesn't need 200 million, 100 million is almost enough, I'll talk about it..."
