Chapter 580 This Is a Blockbuster Movie!

Shen Xudong won the rights to adapt nineteen works, basically sweeping the charts...

"Nirvana in Fire", "Why is the Shengxiao Silent", "Lonely Empty Courtyard in Spring" are some of the hits.

By the way, I also contacted Shen Haobo and asked him to sign contracts with Bandit Wo Sicun, Gu Man, Xinyiwu, Tonghua...

It is said that in 2007, the adaptation rights of popular online novels were only worth 200,000 to 300,000 yuan!

But after 2012, it increased tenfold.

Basically, it can reach one million, and even the single copy price of "Tomb Robbers Notes" has reached two million.

Nineteen works cost the company less than 8 million...

Chen Xudong is very conscientious, he is not short of money, and he also wants to participate in the screenwriting of the original work...

The company was not afraid of any financial losses, so it directly launched three dramas, "Jingxin", "Late Spring in the Lonely Empty Courtyard" and "Why is the Shengxiao Silent"...

Why not do Xinyiwu’s works?

Because... everything in Xinyiwu is related to the campus - we have a policy that does not allow puppy love to appear on TV...

As for the actors…

"Step by Step" is a collaboration with Tang Ren. The heroine is still Liu Shishi, but the male lead should be Qiao Zhenyu or Nie Yuan - Shen Xudong doesn't like Longliqi;

"Lonely Empty Courtyard" is a big sadistic drama, for Zhang Hanyun, the male lead is Chen Xiao, and paired with Wang Kai...

"Why the Shengxiao is Silent"... is the highlight of the company. Chen Hao plays the heroine and the male lead invites Zhong Hanliang!

Bringing it back, Shen Xudong continued: "In the future, the company may implement a producer studio system..."

"Producer's Studio?"

"Sign a contract with a producer and delegate production rights to the producer. Each producer's studio has independent accounting. The producer is the owner of the studio and can sign multiple directors under his banner. The producer has a high degree of business freedom, and he Get the script and form a team to participate in the production. For different projects, the company will provide investment with different conditions."

"Why do you do this?"

Shen Xudong explained: "The company needs to be platform-based... we can no longer engage in unified management!"

"…Why?"

"This method is more scientific... This is what Hollywood does." Shen Xudong waved his hand: "This is nothing to discuss. If the company wants to develop, it must be scientific and procedural..."

"You're looking more and more like a boss now!"

"...Stop talking about this..." Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "By the way, let's go see "Transformers" tomorrow..."

"OK!"

"I also want to see the live-action version of Transformers!"

…

In 1988, after the "Transformers" animation became popular in the United States, it wanted to enter the Chinese market. So Hasbro confidently went to CCTV to talk, but was rejected by CCTV because it contained more violence and was not conducive to shaping. Screen culture is completely non-negotiable.

Then what?

Hasbro went to Shanghai TV and said: I will give it to you for free!

It’s all about selling toys anyway!

Then Shanghai TV Station got 95 episodes of "Transformers G1" and broadcast one episode every six weeks. One month later, after four episodes, in shopping malls in major cities, the Transformers counters were already crowded with naughty children.

In 1988, a Megatron cost 108 yuan, and Hasbro made a big move!

Local satellite TV asked Hasbro for broadcast rights again, and Hasbro said "5,000 per episode."

It just so happens that Shen Xudong and the others have all watched "Transformers", including the subsequent "Super Warriors" - the transformation of Captain Orangutan, the transformation of Yellow Panther Warrior...

"Power Rangers" is actually the orthodox sequel to the American version of "Transformers G1".

Bringing it back, the live-action version of "Transformers" has a profound impact on the domestic market!

On the one hand, it directly raised the domestic box office limit for Hollywood blockbusters to 280 million;

On the other hand, it has also made Hollywood pay more attention to the Chinese market - the first "Transformers" movie contributed 40.81 million U.S. dollars in box office in the mainland market, ranking third in the world after North America and the British market...

By the second part, the mainland box office was US$58.08 million, becoming the largest overseas market except North America.

Then there is "Avatar", the mainland box office is 184 million US dollars (before re-release), it is also the largest overseas market except North America...

Hollywood directly regards China as a gold mine!

But before that, China Film's prediction for "Transformers" is at most 100 million...

Because the current upper limit for Hollywood blockbusters is around 100 million.

The "Spider-Man" series is so popular, but the domestic box office is only 141 million. In the past few years, the domestic box office champions of North America, "The Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars 3", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" basically did not exceed 100 million. Among them, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" was not even released in mainland China!

There is only one Titanic...

To be honest, Hollywood doesn’t pay much attention to the mainland market...

Although I know that the potential is huge, potential is still potential after all. Before it becomes a reality, I will definitely not take it seriously!

Ahem, not only the domestic market, but also the producer and distributor Paramount - Paramount internally evaluated Hasbro and Marvel, decided to abandon Marvel, bet on Hasbro, and then Marvel After selling itself to Disney, Paramount began to build the Hasbro Cinematic Universe, launching the "Battleship" and "G.I. Joe" series...

…

The first live-action version of "Transformers" really satisfied all the audience's expectations for a Hollywood blockbuster, that is, a cool movie!

The story of Transformers has no core. It is just a kind of mechanical alien creatures whose technological level and biological level far exceed that of human beings fighting on the earth. What you can see is that they have fancy transformation abilities, which can inspire all kinds of wild imaginations!

When these appear on the screen, it is enough to make the audience fascinated.

It feels like the comics, toys and stories that I have known since I was a child have come true for the first time. Just seeing those Autobots transform is very satisfying, not to mention the addition of real US military equipment, McBey's usual fast pace, air combat , street fights and other fierce battles, the adrenal glands are full, which makes people boil...

Then... the director and production team had to include war, humanity, race, betrayal, and even the collision of divinity and humanity in a cool film.

It seems to be very in-depth, but in fact the explanation is superficial and messy!

And... the script is confusing, especially "Transformers 5". When I bought the ticket, I wanted to watch a bunch of robots beating me for two hours, but he didn't want to. There were so many human scenes that I wanted to vomit, and the pillars were transformed in every detail. The screen is gone!

Popcorn snacks will give me a good time, pursuing the depth of Nima?

After watching the movie, Zhao Xin said directly: "I'll go, this girl is so sexy!"

Shen Xudong was curious: "Who?"

"It's the woman who opened the hood!"

Shen Xudong smiled: "Oh, her name is Megan Fox... We also invited her to audition for "The Fault in Our Stars" before, but her acting skills were so bad... She didn't pass the test at all!"

"Is your acting skills bad?"

"...Well, if you have thoughts about her, next time I go to the United States, I will take you with me..."

When Zhao Xin heard this, his eyes lit up at first, and then he shook his head: "Forget it, I'll just make a living in China and it'll be fine..."

Shen Xudong thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Then you write a script with a stronger taste, more pornographic and bloody. I will find an opportunity for you to go to the United States to be a producer, and then invite her to audition..."

"It's not that easy, is it?"

"Definitely, she is now considered a world-famous female star... I mean if you go to Hollywood, you will know that there are many unfamous actresses who look as good as Meghan..."

Shen Xudong popularizes science while walking...

Zhao Xin became more and more confused as he listened, and simply asked: "As a producer in the United States, are you playing with the hidden rules?"

"No!" Shen Xudong shook his head.

"That's not bad. Let me tell you, you are representing Chinese filmmakers in the United States..."

Shen Xudong continued: "I just asked a question, 'Why should I use you?' and they took off their clothes..."
