There are still 17 movies that have not yet been filmed.

The first "Night at the Museum" movie has been scheduled for release on July 13th. Currently, Extraordinary Pictures has seven or eight movies in production, and the second "Night at the Museum" movie is expected to start production next year.

The first film in the Fifty Shades of Grey series has already finished its theatrical run, grossing $5.87 million worldwide. The remaining films, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, will not be able to start production until next year at the earliest.

Pirates of the Caribbean is a big-budget production, and it's absolutely impossible to finish filming it in a short period of time.

Especially in terms of special effects, although "Painted Skin" has been completed, Tiangong Special Effects has several other films that need special effects production, and they can't spare enough people to do it.

Ice Age is an animated film, and the production of the first Kung Fu Panda film is nearing completion, with about two more months to go before it is finished.

The initial release date is set for the 08 New Year period. Once "Kung Fu Panda" is completed, the "Ice Age" film series will be launched.

The movie "The Message" is a profound spy film. Among the scenes that Lin Bufan remembers most vividly are the humiliation of the Japanese officer, played by Huang Xiaoming, measuring Li Ningyu's figure, and the scene of Gu Xiaomeng being tortured.

Making this movie well is not something that can be done overnight; many shots need to be carefully polished, which does not meet Lin Bufan's expectations.

The same applies to the movie "Aftershock". Moreover, the movie has several large scenes that test the director's ability to direct. Lin Bufan did not think about making this movie in the short term. In fact, he was even considering whether or not to make this movie.

Needless to say, "The Orphan of Zhao" barely made any money and received only mediocre reviews.

The movie "Painted Skin" had mediocre box office and critical reception, so Lin Bufan would never make it.

The remaining films, including Inception, The Hunger Games, Kung Fu Panda 2, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twilight Saga: New Moon, Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, and Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, are all Hollywood movies, and he has even less time to film them now.

He has only one thought right now: to finish filming a movie before the Venice International Film Festival begins, with a maximum of two months of shooting time.

In such a short time, to make a good movie, the movie cannot have too much depth. It is best to make a comedy, and an easy one at that.

None of the movies he had previously signed up for were suitable.

"Looks like I'll have to take a look inside the store."

Thinking of this, Lin Bufan opened the points mall, and a blue virtual screen instantly appeared in front of him.

After opening the points mall, Lin Bufan looked at the bottom right corner, where he saw that he had 17200 points.

Since the Lunar New Year, and since the system upgrade introduced the points mall, Lin Bufan has only used points to redeem one TV series, "Boss & Me," spending 500 points.

All the remaining points are here, untouched.

The points mall is divided into four sections. The first three sections are self-explanatory. Only the daily section has two items: "Six-Flavor Emperor Pills" and "Beauty and Nourishing Pills". As for whether new items will be added in the future, we don't know.

Skipping the other three sections, Lin Bufan directly clicked on the movie section.

After opening the section, thousands of Chinese and foreign films appeared before Lin Bufan, some with high scores and some with low scores.

All movies, from ancient times to the present, both domestic and foreign, whether they have already been released or not, are included.

The only difference is that if it's a movie that's already in theaters, you need a lot more points to redeem it.

For example, some classic Hong Kong films, such as "A Better Tomorrow," required 1 points to redeem.

That's 1 points, which is equivalent to 1 million US dollars.

The only advantage is that the movie redeemed with points will change reality. In other words, once Lin Bufan redeems the movie "A Better Tomorrow", everyone in the world will forget that the movie was ever released, and it will be like a new movie.

If the points were cheap, Lin Bufan might exchange them, for example, for five hundred or a thousand.

With the mainland market, I believe the box office of "A Better Tomorrow" will definitely break records. Even if you buy it with 1,000 points, you should still be able to make a profit.

However, the price of the points was too high, a full 1 points, which Lin Bufan couldn't bear to part with.

Even if the movie "A Better Tomorrow" has a high box office, how much can it really generate?

1 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 8 million at the current exchange rate, means that the movie would need to gross more than 8 billion to earn 20 million.

In the current market, let alone a movie with a box office of 20 billion, there won't even be a movie with a box office of more than 10 billion.

In mainland China, another major factor limiting box office revenue is the scarcity of cinemas.

Even the most popular movies can't accommodate movies with such high box office numbers.

"A Better Tomorrow" is just one of them. In fact, the movie that Lin Bufan really wanted to redeem was "Garland Under the Mountain," which is such a classic.

Lin Bufan wants to film it; the movie has a score of 1.5, but he definitely won't change it now, though he will consider it in the future.

He himself is confident, but besides the original actors, who else can reinterpret this classic film well?

"Never mind, we'll talk about it later. Let's look at the others first..."

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly, deciding to put those thoughts aside for the time being. He searched for comedy movies to see what kind of films would be suitable for him to make.

Lin Bufan didn't choose any of the high-grossing comedy films, such as the several comedy films starring Shen Teng, or those films that grossed billions of yuan.

He rejected all films that grossed over 10 billion yuan, believing that the current mainland market couldn't accommodate such high-grossing films and that making them now would be a waste.
