Chapter 1630 Finding the Back Account (Part 1)

This is the first one, not a sequel, and Guo Tailai provided some scene suggestions. James re-wrote the screenplay, which is considered original, not an adaptation of a popular literary or comic book, and it is completely different from Jurassic Park, Spiderman, Batman and the like. The thing is, there are no original readers or comic fans who are naturally attracted, so this achievement is absolutely amazing.

What's more, James also said that this is the first non-sequel original work with a box office of over 100 million in the first weekend, and this alone has already broken the record. Of course, the box office in North America exceeded 100 million in the first weekend. Ten years later, this achievement will still be a hit movie, let alone now.

"Should we open a bottle of champagne in advance?" Guo Tailai looked at the joy on everyone's faces and couldn't help but suggest.

"Of course!" Without further ado, James' wife got up and went to prepare.

James had a flamboyant smile all over his face, and he was very elated at the box office on the first day. Let those short-sighted studio guys who are worried that he delays the schedule and exceeds the budget see that I, James, still block my throat with a sword!

Naturally, for Guo Tailai who gave him almost unlimited support, James is simply a confidant! Although Guo Tailai still found Annie, his ex-wife, to strictly limit his overspend and budget, but apart from making suggestions at the beginning and appointing Chu Fei, he never gave a word in the creation. It is really too much to cooperate with Guo Tailai. Happy.

Ding! Four champagne glasses collided together, and the two main film creators, a boss, and the director's wife, just celebrated at James' home in the early hours of the morning. Of course, there will definitely be a lot of grand celebrations, but that will be after the film is released.

When they rushed to Artisan Entertainment Company the next day, there were only Guo Tailai and Lin Jiayi. Chu Fei went to promote with the main creative team, Guo Tailai could only come to the company with Lin Jiayi to have a look.

The atmosphere in the company is very warm, as long as Guo Tailai sees the employees, they are all beaming and proud. The appearance of a hit film has an extraordinary motivating effect on everyone in the company.

"The great director James has sharpened his sword for seven years..."

"Films full of beauties and cars with no connotation..."

"Women can also dominate commercial blockbusters..."

"Spectacular scene beyond imagination, you will never be disappointed..."

""Shen Xing" is suspected of being plagiarized..."

...

The company has already collected newspapers and magazines with comments from various parties. Guo Tailai casually flipped through them, and found that there were both good and bad things, which was not surprising. All kinds of praise and criticism almost filled the front pages of these film and television media.

"Boss, don't worry about saying bad things. At this time, the most fearful thing is that no one will comment." Seeing that Guo Tailai frowned at some newspapers' statements, Annie quickly explained: "The more intense the debate, the better. And boss, you didn't Find out? All the debate about our film is on the front page, and that's what matters."

Guo Tailai nodded. Guo Tailai was really unprofessional in this regard, but he also understood what Annie meant. The saddest thing is that no one argues, which means that no one pays attention at all.

"There is no need to worry about copying that statement." Seeing that Guo Tailai's eyes lingered on the title suspected of plagiarism for a while, Annie explained with a smile: "Almost every blockbuster movie in Hollywood will encounter this kind of thing, I don't know Where would a guy who didn't know where he was 80,000 years ago say that it was his own idea, it was nothing more than eyeballs, to see if he was lucky enough to blackmail a fortune. The company has a special legal team to deal with it, Don't worry at all."

Well, since Anne is ready, Guo Tailai will not say anything more. Start asking about your next plans.

"Continue to increase the publicity and guide the audience to watch the movie." When talking about the next step, Annie reported in a very professional way: "Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot, to increase the publicity and cause a big wave of movie viewing. Of course, the Philippine Nix may be busy for a while longer."

As the number one heroine, it is an obligation to cooperate with the publicity during the hit show, and Chu Fei will agree without asking, and she has already done so.

"I saw the easter egg at the end of the film, is it for the sequel?" Guo Tailai also asked his own doubts: "How do you think about the sequel?"

Yesterday at James' home, Guo Tailai found that both James and Chu Fei were a little nervous, so they didn't talk much about the film, but more about the deep-sea submarine, his new helicopter, and recent celebrity gossip. The box office was released and the prospects were bright, so Guo Tailai asked Annie about the sequel.

"Yes, boss!" Annie replied with a smile: "Hollywood's practice, as long as a movie sells well, there will definitely be a sequel. But our sequel is a little different."

"What's the difference?" Guo Tailai asked curiously.

"Thanks to the boss, you suggested at the beginning of the project that if this movie is successful, we can make a big movie for each of the heroines to tell the story of their lives. story." Anne quickly replied: "I discussed it with James, it's a good idea. Didn't you find that each heroine in the easter egg is a separate shot? That can be the story of each of them. Use Boss, you said, this is called Shenxing Universe. When the time is right, we can gather everyone together to make "Shenxing 2", so that we, Artisan Entertainment, will have a big-selling series."

"Maybe two!" Guo Tailai said with a happy smile, "Don't forget, we have already obtained the copyright for the Terminator."

"Then there may be three series in the future." Annie was also very happy: "That guy James has been thinking about his next big production recently."

James has been thinking about the next big production? Isn't that "Avatar"? Guo Tailai fully agrees with Anne's statement.

"Boss, after the success of this movie, maybe we should consider working with other Hollywood production companies for the next sequel." Taking advantage of Guo Tailai's happiness, Annie carefully suggested: "Although I know that boss, you and many big names are involved. The relationship is very good, but in terms of business, there is basically no film company in Hollywood that goes it alone. The first big investment is too risky. James is used to overspending and skipping tickets. It is understandable that others do not participate. But I want to cooperate happily in the future If not, we still need to share some benefits, attract investment from other companies, and reduce our production risks.”

"In principle, I am inclined to win-win cooperation." Guo Tailai didn't think much about it. He was not the kind of person who eats alone. After saying this, he thought about it and looked at Lin Jiayi next to him. Seeing Guo Tai coming over, Lin Jiayi nodded without hesitation.

"Then, that's it." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "However, the copyright still has to be ours, and we have to control the production."

"Of course! Boss!" Annie let out a long breath and relaxed.
