Chapter 818 There Are Too Many Jealous People
But this is all about 2017. 2015 is almost over, and it is basically confirmed that Tang An will sweep the area again during the summer vacation. Kang Pei needs to pay attention to next year's affairs.

This year, the big sales of the three imported blockbusters "Vegetarian Chicken 7", "Reunion 2" and "Pig Logic World" made Kang Pei pay more attention to imported movies.

Among the imported films that will be released next year, "Warcraft", "Captain America 2", "Kung Fu Panda 3", and "Batman v Superman" may become hits.

Needless to say, "Warcraft", even if Kang Pei doesn't play games, after a little understanding of the influence and statistics of this game in China, he can be sure that this is one of the strong contenders for next year's box office champion.

"Kung Fu Panda 3" has oriental elements, and the second part has sold more than 6 million, which is very likely to break one billion.

And the big sales of "Reunion 2" made him more optimistic about "Captain America 2" and "Batman v Superman".

Superheroes sold well in China before, but at most it was only 2 to [-] million. That is to say, "Avengers [-]" has gathered many superheroes to attract more fans.

"Captain America 3" has many superheroes including Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Spiderman, Black Panther, and Ant-Man, and it is almost another "Reunion".

The Avengers are on fire, so the other side, the Justice League, naturally has great potential, not to mention the first time Superman and Batman appear together on the big screen.

And it's not a cooperation yet. The title "Batman vs. Superman" is already very clear. It tells the story of Batman and Superman PK.

No one knows who is better than Guan Gong and Qin Qiong, and the debate about who is the better superhero can be heard for a long time. When "Reunion" was released, there were arguments among movie fans.

And Superman and Batman are the two most well-known in China. The two people's PK, presumably the audience will be very interested.

With four blockbusters, Kang Pei can't wait to think about the success next year.

"By the way, Lao Zhang, Tang An should pay more attention to see what type of his new film is and when it will be released next year." Kang Pei urged again.

According to the law, one or two months after "Operation Red Sea" is released, Tang An will start preparing for the new film, which will be released next year.

Up to now, Kang Pei still hasn't figured out how Tang An managed to finish each movie so perfectly without any free time in between.

Don’t all those who engage in creation need inspiration? For those well-known screenwriters and writers, it is very rare to write a book a year, and one book every three to five years is the norm.

It has been 12 years, almost every year, this head does not know what to do, and the thinking will never be exhausted.

After chatting about work, Kang Pei casually complained to Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping thought about it, but couldn't find any reasonable explanation. Even if Feng Xiaogang made five films in the five years from 06 to 10, there was a one-year break in 11, and "Nineteen Four Two" also took five years. It took two years to shoot.

Tang An's 12 movies in [-] years are no different from one movie a year. I really don't know how to keep it like this.

"Maybe this is talent!"

In the end, the only reasonable explanation is the word talent.

Because of the explosion of "Operation Red Sea", Kang Pei attached great importance to "The Founding of the Army", and wanted to make it into a real war blockbuster, adding large-scale war scenes.

And Xiang Huaqiang, who is far away in Xiangjiang, was greatly touched by this.

Xiangjiang was once one of the four Asian tigers, an international metropolis, and a big city in the world.

However, in the face of "Operation Red Sea"'s box office of nearly 30 million in a single day, and the box office that is likely to break 40 billion, or even [-] billion.

Even he, a big businessman in a big city, was extremely shocked and jealous.

In the past two years, there have been movies with a box office of over one billion in mainland China, and Xiang Huaqiang began to want to enter the theater to make a fortune.

Not only him, Lin Jianyue, Yang Shoucheng, and Jiang Zhiqiang, who has been cooperating with mainland film and television companies, all want to catch up with the fast-growing express train of the mainland film market and get a share.

But at that time, they were no longer qualified, and several major companies would not allow them to enter. Even if they wanted to enter, they would just drink some soup, and it was impossible to be the leader.

They cannot occupy a leading position in co-production films, and they have no ability to publicize and distribute them, so they can only pass on profits to mainland companies.

But even so, they didn't give up, so Xiang Huaqiang made a "Legend of the Conferred Gods", which can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.

But now the mainland market is about to produce 40 billion movies. With such a huge figure, the box office alone can make a profit of more than one billion, and Xiang Huaqiang's assets on the table are only so much.

Such a huge sum made Xiang Huaqiang's heart skip a beat.

Aobo Holdings, a subsidiary of Duwang, is the only six authorized gaming companies in Omen, with 60 gaming companies under its umbrella. Last year, the profit was [-] billion yuan, but this year's profit has shrunk sharply. The profit in the first half of the year was only more than one billion yuan.

Faced with such a huge profit, Xiang Huaqiang is no longer satisfied with using "Legend of the Gods" to cheat a quick sum of money.

After thinking twice, he decided to make this "Legend of the Gods" seriously.

I called Wang Zhongjun at home and made an appointment to talk about the movie again.

Such courage, but his wife was a little worried.

"This money is not ours. If we lose it, how will you explain it to them?"

"How could it be possible to lose money? If "Journey to the West" can sell well, "Feng Shen Bang" can still do well, and there are so many stars, so there is no way to lose money."

Having made an important decision, Xiang Huaqiang is also full of confidence.

"Even if they lose a little, at worst I'll make it up for them!"

There are risks, but the rewards are also higher.

Take that money and invest it first, [-] million gray funds, and actually invest [-] million yuan. If you make money, you only need to return other people's money, and the rest is your own.

Even if he happens to keep his capital, he won't lose money, after all, he still has to take a cut of the money.

But if it sells well, it will make a lot of money.

After dispelling Xiang Tai's doubts, Xiang Tai didn't say anything more, this was also praising his son, even if he lost a little, it didn't matter.

Moreover, the grievances between her and Zhou Xingchi are well known to everyone. She thinks that she has made Zhou Xingchi popular, and Zhou Xingchi wants to repay her kindness and come back to help her make money.

But Zhou Xingchi is not willing to continue to be squeezed, he thinks that I am popular because of my ability, I will not cooperate if I don’t want to cooperate with you, you jointly invest, and I will not shoot unless you are kicked out!
At the end of last year, Jiwei Suji, a former entertainment circle, bombarded Zhou Xingchi, calling for optoelectronics to ban him, and Xiang Tai also jumped up and down.

Ever since "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" became popular, Mrs. Xiang became more and more unhappy. They should have had a share of this profit.

Especially "Mermaid" and Han Tang signed a sky-high price guarantee, and the huge profit made her even more jealous.

Hua Guoxing has already declined, and Zhou Xingchi's Bigao Group has a market value ten times that of Hua Guoxing because of the huge sales of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and the sky-high price guarantee of "The Mermaid".

China Film will make "The Founding of the Army" a war epic, reproducing the Yuzhang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising on the screen in the manner and scale of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Xiang Huaqiang wanted to play for real, make "Legend of the Gods" well, make it into a real mythological blockbuster, and make a fortune in such a big market.

They were all stimulated by the big sales of "Operation Red Sea"!
Shi Jianxiang, the boss of Kuailu, was also stimulated. Although he has made a lot of money through his small loan platform, he also needs legal income such as film and television dramas.

Shi Jianxiang also decided to take out tens of millions of real money and use it in the production of the movie, and communicated with several producers and directors, asking them to make a good film with their heart, and make it into a Hollywood-style war movie.

Compared with the money he made by himself, tens of millions are small money.

"OPERATION RED SEA" was a big hit, and the market for military movies was even bigger. If "Big Bombing" can also sell well, it will be of great use to him in making money in the future.

At present, there is only one "Ip Man 3" in hand. I wanted to buy some "Operation Red Sea" and "Fengshen" series before but was rejected. Shi Jianxiang is worried that there is no good project.

Now there is "Big Bombing", although it is not as useful as "Operation Red Sea", but as a war blockbuster, the lineup is so strong, and then the shareholders will do their best to promote it, and it will have a facade.

And in a mansion in a high-end villa area in the capital, Fan Binbin and Li Chen were also discussing similar matters.

"You promised Lu Jianming?"

On the sofa, Li Chen looked at his girlfriend helplessly.

Some time ago, Lu Jianming from Spring and Autumn Films contacted him, wanting to invest in a movie with him, or a military movie.

Forget about military movies. "Wolf Warrior" and "Operation Red Sea" are big sellers. Everyone knows that these kinds of movies are promising, but the cost of military war movies is too high, and everyone is thinking about it.

However, Lu Jianming still wants Li Chen to be the director, isn't that nonsense!
People these days are really getting more and more weird. Except for a small number of genuine directors, it is difficult to make big investments, but actors who change careers to become directors are so welcome.

Previously, Han Han's "The Future Will Be Unexpected" was guaranteed by Bernard at a high price, and "The Left Ear" and "Gardenia Bloom" were also sold ahead of time.

Recently, the new movies of Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are even more outrageous, both sold [-] million.

[-] million, Feng Xiaogang didn't even reach the box office!

In just two years, the entertainment industry has changed a lot.

Looking for myself to be the director, I can direct a shit show, Li Chen is helpless when he thinks about it.

Fan Binbin sat down a little, took him by the arm, and persuaded him with the attitude of a little woman, "You are stupid, such a good opportunity, after a while, you may not be able to get out of the line, being a director is much better than an actor , only the director has real independence."

"If you don't want to do it, I still want to. Zhao Wei can make movies, why can't I!"

Thinking that one of the former four-dan Shuangbing has successfully become a director and capital, Fan Binbin is also angry.

If it wasn't for a military movie, it would be too nonsense for a woman, or a woman with no experience at all, to be the director, and Fan Binbin would have wanted to do it himself.

However, Li Chen also has a high exposure rate in Running Man. As the heroine himself, this husband and wife team is also beneficial to the promotion of the movie.

Li Chen also knows that the capital in the circle is at the top, and the actors are at the bottom. Even the most popular actor is nothing in front of the capital, unless he himself becomes capital.

But he also knew why Lu Jianming came to him, shook his head and said to Fan Binbin, "Lu Jianming came here because of my family relationship. This matter is not easy to handle, and the family may not help."

When making military films, the military cannot be avoided. No matter whether it is a military branch or a military region, someone must support it.

Fan Binbin said, "You are promoting the image of the military. Why would you not allow it? This time Lu Jianming wants to make a film about the Air Force. Think about Tom Cruise's "Top Gun" in the 80s, which is also a film about the Air Force. The image of a soldier."

The Navy Special Forces "Operation Red Sea" was filmed, and the Army "Wolf Warriors" was filmed. This time Lu Jianming asked Li Chen to shoot the Air Force Special Forces.

Although he was not sure whether his family would agree to this matter, under Fan Binbin's persuasion, Li Chen agreed to participate in the investment of the Chinese version of "Top Gun" and act as the director.

After all, in this line of work, it's impossible to have no idea.

What's more, Li Chen has just signed a gambling agreement with Hua Yi, and he has been exhausted in less than a year. If there is a big-selling movie, it will be much easier.
