Chapter 263 After the Ascension
"Qin Shi Ming Yue" broke 100 million at the box office in just three days, which stimulated the bosses of many companies in the circle. In just three days, the box office broke 100 million. In this way, it seems that it is not difficult to break 200 million yuan to recover the cost at all. If there is no accident, it is only a matter of time to recover the cost, and if Counting the copyright outside Shanghai, the Korean region, as well as DVD and other copyrights, this time Star Entertainment Company is definitely profitable, not full of bowls.
There is no accurate estimate of how much they can earn, but there must be a lot of them.
At this time, they finally recovered. It turns out that there is still a very strong market in China. If the market is not well cultivated, that's bullshit. This reform and opening up has been going on for decades. Although it can't be compared with the United States, it's not so timid. At least the Chinese people are still several times more than theirs, and how many blockbusters in the United States have in a year? In the division of the market, there are only so-called blockbusters in China in a year. How can there be no market? There is definitely a market. It's just a lack of reasons for them to enter the cinema.
There is no doubt that whether it is Wang Zhengfei's fame in the past, the first blockbuster that has really invested more than 100 million yuan, the lineup of big brands, or the gorgeous special effects claimed to be made with 30 million, are enough to attract countless people into the cinema.
And most importantly, Wang Zhengfei did not let them go. Now many domestic directors are like this. The publicity is very good, but in fact, the content is rotten, such as Wuji, staring at the name of Chen Kaige, the big director, but in fact, the effect is enough to make everyone spray him to death.
And Wang Zhengfei's gold medal screenwriter is famous. There is no work that has a box office of less than 80 million. Now there are two works of more than 100 million in four works that have been released for a long time, which basically belong to the golden signboard. Although "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is an adaptation, it is also unique to have Wang Zhengfei. Yes, it will be different, and although there is already the original work of "Qin Shi Ming Yue", Wang Zhengfei has also said that the movie of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" is actually quite different from the original work, so if you plan to read the novel and know the plot, you will have the wrong idea. If you don't go to see it, you won't know. Tao.
And even if the domestic market is not strong enough, isn't there a foreign market? The foreign market is absolutely not small. Whether it is Southeast Asia or South Korea, in fact, the market is not small.
Although it is very difficult for small companies to enter the domestic market without that strength, in fact, companies that can invest hundreds of millions of yuan in movies, except for freaks like Star Entertainment, most of them are relatively powerful companies. Naturally, they have strength, although in the TV circle, there are also In the singing world, Korean music is more popular, but in terms of movies, there is more market for Chinese movies in East Asia.
However, when there was a lot of noise outside for the crazy box office of "Qin Shi Ming Yue" in three days, Wang Zhengfei took good care of Fu Dan at home. Although the two are not married now, it is actually almost the same. Now that the things to be done to get married have been done, Wang Zhengfei also feels sorry for Fu Dan. During this period, I focused on staying at home as a housewife and taking care of Fu Dan.
Wang Zhengfei stretched out and saw that it was past three o'clock in the afternoon. Today, he typed the words on the keyboard for most of the day. This is the fourth day of the release of Qin Shi Mingyue. Although Wang Zhengfei has been at home, he has actually been paying attention to the box office. The situation, 100 million yuan in three days still made all his imagination useless work. The box office he had thought before was far from so much, which shocked him. Originally, they thought it was very good to recover the cost this time, but now it seems that it is far from being able to recover the cost. If he makes a lot of money, he However, I am also happy, and the most important thing is that it is likely to collect the cost back in "Qin Shi Mingyue-Upper". So when it comes to "Qin Shi Mingyue-Upper", it is completely pure profit. It is as much as you can earn. Thinking of this, can Wang Zhengfei be unhappy?
A bitter smile flashed unconsciously from the corners of Wang Zhengfei's mouth. He was really working hard. Although it was during the vacation, in the end, Wang Zhengfei still sat in front of the computer and typed.
A few big words on the screen are particularly conspicuous. "After the Ascension Outline". Yes, that's right. Wang Zhengfei has planned to write "After the Ascension".
If you like to read novels, you basically know more or less about "After the Ascension". Wang Zhengfei liked to read this story in his previous life. The background is extremely vast, the wilderness is too ancient, the gods and demons squeeze, human self-improvement is endless, and his blood is boiling.
"After the Ascension" tells the story of the protagonist after the ascension. Human race, demon race, blood race, paradise. There are constant battles between the four major races, and the human race is the weakest race. The human race has the supreme and the four elephant array, the demon clan has the dark main god, the heaven has the light main god, and the blood clan has the mysterious blood ancestor. With the increase of the protagonist's cultivation, he gradually learned the secret of ancient times. He embarked on the arduous process of "unifying the ancient times and fighting against foreigners". From entering the ancient times for the beginning, establishing the sword field, the yuan god three points, to unifying the ancient times and fighting against the demon clan... The whole novel has a huge momentum.
I liked this book very much in my previous life, so now I plan to write it. Of course, I don't plan to write a novel version, but a movie version. The novel version has more than 3.5 million words. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. Even if Wang Zhengfei codes 10,000 words a day, it will take more than a year, and Wang Zhengfei doesn't I didn't do anything else, did I?
Therefore, although Wang Zhengfei likes this novel very much, he has no choice but to write a script first. In fact, Wang Zhengfei is still a little worried. After all, if the vast background and a huge number of fighting scenes of this novel are to be adapted into a movie, the requirements for later stunts are definitely the highest of all Chinese movies. Don't write it down at that time, but no one can take it. That's a tragedy.
So in fact, before starting to write again, Wang Zhengfei consulted Yang Guang and others of Blue Sky Studio to ask if such a scene could be post-produced.
There is the most fundamental difference between the current Blue Sky Studio and the roar of Wang Zhengfei who just met Yang Guang a few months ago. The current Blue Sky Studio, with the cooperation of Technicolor in "Qin Shi Mingyue-Shang" to make special effects, in which the special effects of experience can't be seen at all. It was made by these novices, so they became famous in the circle. Originally, they couldn't find an opportunity to outsource, but now there are many movies that want Blue Sky Studio to help them do this stunt.
However, although the current Blue Sky Studio has been expanded, its scale is still not large. It is already very difficult to deal with "Qin Shi Mingyue - Next". Naturally, there is no spare time to do the later stage of these small movies, but this adds a little bit to the Blue Sky Studio. Mysterious.
Many times, people are like this. The more they can't get it, the better it is. After the publicity of "Qin Shi Mingyue - Shang", Blue Sky Studio has become a little famous from the original obscurity, not to mention "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Xia" they will fully read and undertake the post-production of special effects. At that time, as long as they do OK, then you can become famous in one fell swoop.
You should know that Blue Sky Studio is holding its breath up and down now. If you give Technicolor a good look, anyway, how Technicolor humiliated them before, although now you can imagine that it is Technicolor. It should be regretful, but it's enough to regret alone. It's absolutely embarrassing them once.
As the people of Blue Sky Studio become more and more famous, the contradictions between the people of Blue Sky Studio and the people of Technicolor Company have also begun to circulate in the circle. Everyone is watching the drama and looking at the contradiction between a first-class special effects company and an emerging company.
While laughing secretly, it was Technicolor. Judging from the special effects of "Qin Shi Mingyue-Shang", the level of Blue Sky Studio is not inferior to that of Technicolor at all. Such a company, Technicolor said what did at that time, even outsourcing others. They are not qualified. Technicolor is a little too proud. Now they have been slapped hard. Can they not watch the play?
The so-called peers are enemies and do the same thing. They are born with opponents, so it's not surprising to see the excitement between them.
Of course, the biggest slap is still the special effect of "Qin Shi Mingyue-Shang" given by Wang Zhengfei, which is the main part completed by Technicolor, but the lower part is not handed over to them. Isn't that equivalent to doubting their technology?
