You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 196 I'm just bad, not stupid. You've got it wrong.
Zhejiang Province, Little Tomato Film and Television Base.

"Crazy, so damn crazy!"

Li Zhenduo came to Su You's office with heavy dark circles under his eyes. While talking, he sat down on the chair and slumped on it.

For him who is used to shooting small productions, such a large-scale shooting is really too much.

The last time we filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there were actually not many people involved, and it was mainly scenes with a few leading actors.

Even in the war drama "Bright Sword", there are only a few scenes that require a large number of people, and they are all extras who come to make up the number, and there are only a few scenes, and they disperse after filming.

But this time, the crew of "The Wandering Earth" has as many as a thousand permanent staff. They are responsible for post-production off-site. The number of special effects and other staff exceeds 2, and there are as many as [-] extras...

Science fiction blockbusters involve many links, including the design, production and layout of scene props, resource mobilization and connection in each link, pre-production and pre-production of post-production, cooperation and communication between various departments, etc. Once the scale doubles, the collaboration becomes extremely complex. .

Even the simplest meal was a huge problem. They didn't arrange it properly at first. When the lunch break was over and filming started, there were still many people queuing up to get food...

We're not filming a movie here, we're not even so tired from fighting!
Now he suddenly understood why it was said that the more troops an ancient general could bring, the more powerful he would be.

In ancient times, if you could really lead a team of 10 people without causing trouble, then you would really be a genius and handsome.

"After this is over, maybe we can set up a film and television base."

Su You stopped typing on the keyboard and muttered.

He didn't think so much before. He has always had the idea of ​​being rich and contented. But after this incident, he suddenly came up with the idea of ​​developing the film industry. He may not necessarily make blockbusters in the future, but at least, When shooting, there is a place you can use!

It would not be like now, borrowing other people's film and television bases, even eating would become a headache for him.

"Are you so confident that "The Wandering Earth" will succeed?"

Li Zhenduo leaned forward and stared at Su You. He didn't know where Su You got the confidence. Although this time he was so powerful, the shortcomings of the grass-roots team were clearly visible. Why do you think you can do better than others in the Hollywood industry?

"Even if it doesn't succeed this time, the worst thing is that it will come back next time!"

Su You said with a relaxed look, now he does have a lot of room for trial and error.

"That's true!"

"At worst, I'll go back to making online jokes!"

"Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Just fuck the T-girl and it will be all over!"

Li Zhenduo slumped down on the chair again.

"Are you still writing a biography?"

After resting for a while, he glanced at Su You who was still typing on the keyboard.

The Amilo green-switch keyboard used by Su You is similar to the green switch. It may be quite enjoyable for him, but for others, it is simply noise pollution.

"Ok!"

Su You hummed slightly and continued to type on the keyboard.

He can view the system information himself, but if he wants others to see it, he has to type it out himself. This is a laborious task, but there is no way.

"Isn't this too detailed? This is half the effort with twice the result. The audience will not notice these details at all when watching the movie."

Li Zhenduo stood up, came behind Su You, and saw the content on his screen.

Yevgeny was born in 1980, joined the army in 1998, and became a fighter pilot in 2000.

……

In 2026, a super-large solar storm swept across the world, destroying 49% of civilian circuits and communication facilities...

In 2027, Blue Star countries established a solar crisis response team.

In 2028, Yevgeny joined the Ark Project space team.

……

In 2058, during the lunar crisis, 50-year-old Yevgeny only reacted after all 78-year-old astronauts were out of the queue.

Because he was too old, when everyone was already saluting the heroes, he was still walking forward slowly. After reaching the front of the queue, he just started to salute, and the large army turned around and was about to set off.

He did not leave in a hurry, but kept looking at these young pillars in front of him until the last moment.

His salute was not just in one direction, but everyone from left to right.

He is the oldest astronaut present, and this is his last look at the future of mankind!
In 2058, on the moon, Yevgeny once again saluted in the direction of the earth, and then pressed the poached egg detonator in his hand!
Li Zhenduo almost went crazy.

He knew who this Yevgeny was. He was an old astronaut who went to the moon to manually "light" the eggs during the lunar crisis.

But the astronaut never appears in the movie for more than half a minute.

Just for such a role, Su You actually listed all the major events from his birth to his death.

If we had to do this for everyone in the movie, the workload would probably be horrific!

"Only with biographies can actors have a better understanding of the characters they want to play, and can they express their emotions during performances, and can the audience be immersed in this world!"

Su You rubbed his sore wrist.

Generally speaking, 80% of the content in a movie only takes 20% of the time.

Many directors spend this 20% of their time to make 80% of the film.

But if he wants to defeat the well-equipped and technologically advanced Hollywood industry, Su You must strive for excellence and spend 80% of his efforts to make this film 100% perfect!

……

In busy days, time always flies by.

It was already June in a blink of an eye.

The filming of the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" has entered the final stage. With the support of the Hollywood industry, the filming progress is extremely smooth.

Even Brother Chen Kai, who looks down on Bai Guizi, has to admit that Hollywood is indeed far ahead in the film industry.

The Weinstein Films, Bob Harvey is once again plotting in the office.

Brother Chen Kai's strategy was very effective. As time went by, after half a month, the denunciations against them on the Internet began to decrease. After a month, not many people mentioned it. As for now, you can't find anything related to it without searching specifically. News.

However, it is already June, and the summer vacation has already begun. However, "The Three-Body Problem" is expected to be released in mid-July, which means that they still have one and a half months to promote it.

With only one and a half months in advance, this promotion was already too late, but there was no way. The previous incident with Xihong Film and Television had caused too much trouble, and they had to pretend to be dead to calm the situation.

But now it's only a month and a half before the movie is released, and they have to start promoting it.

"What should we do?"

Bob looked at his brother habitually.

In the past few months, the amount of discussion on this matter on the Chinese Internet has indeed dropped, but they cannot guarantee whether those previous comments will revive after the announcement of "Three-Body" begins.

"The movie has been filmed, so of course it will be released normally!"

Harvey said categorically, "As long as we publicize well, there will always be some people who enter the theater. When they see the work, they will naturally understand the charm of Hollywood!"

He has great confidence in his work and in the Hollywood film industry.

"I think we can find a foreign aid!"

At this time, Brother Chen Kai in the corner of the conference room suddenly said, "If someone in our Chinese entertainment industry has a scandal, the best way is not to apologize immediately, nor to remove the trending search, but to expose another bigger scandal." , sucking away the attention of netizens.”

"So, we can find a helper in China, let them confront Xihongshi Film and Television in China, attract the firepower that netizens pour on us, and then..." This is the method he had thought of long ago, and now He and Weinstein Pictures are a grasshopper on the same rope, and he can only go one way to the end!
It can be said that he put a lot of effort into the filming of "The Three-Body Problem" this time. He is very satisfied with the quality of the finished film. As long as he can regain the disadvantage in terms of public opinion, he will naturally be able to beat Xihongshi Film and Television.

"You mean, Penguin?"

Bob's eyes lit up. He knew that just last year during the Spring Festival, the two sides had a big battle, and the final result was very unpleasant. .

They have not been idle these days and have learned a lot about the situation in China, especially Xihong Film and Television, which claims to compete with them.

Although they don't think that such a small company's science fiction film can cause them any trouble, they despise it strategically, but they must pay attention to it tactically.

"Yes, it's the penguin!"

Brother Chen Kai nodded.

"very good!"

"Just do it!"

Harvey is also very excited. These days, he is busy with the filming of "The Three-Body Problem". The publicity aspect is left to Bob to handle. This has also been the division of labor between the two brothers.

Penguin is not a small business. Even in Hollywood, he has heard about it. There must be such a behemoth suppressing Xihong Film and Television. Xihong Film and Television should be unable to deal with them. If he wants to fight with them, Xihong I am still too young to act in film and television.

The three old foxes looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the future was bright!
……

"Invite us to be the publisher of "The Three-Body Problem"?"

"This is only your first cooperation. Are there more opportunities for cooperation in the future?"

Penguin Pictures, in Sun Huaizhong's office.

After hearing Qin Qingmei's report, Sun Huaizhong sneered, "That's all they said?"

"Oh, they also said that Penguin will be fully responsible for the promotion in China. They will provide 1000 million yuan in promotional expenses, and in the end, Penguin, as the distributor, will get [-]% of the box office share!"

Qin Qingmei added.

Sun Huaizhong was secretly dumbfounded. As expected of Hollywood, it is rich and powerful. Music can give out 1000 million dollars at a time and give up [-]% of the box office share. This is quite impressive.

If you add in the 4% account from the theaters, that is to say, Penguin can get [-]% of the final box office, while Weinstein Films only needs [-]%.

In other words, if "The Three-Body Problem" does not have a box office of more than 40 billion, Weinstein Pictures will not be able to make back its money.

And they penguins don’t have to do anything to eat with their mouths full of oil.

This Weinstein is obviously here to give money to Penguin!

"It's really tempting!"

Sun Huaizhong couldn't help but smile more obviously. Of course, it was still a sneer!

"I didn't expect that a major Hollywood studio would be squeezed out by a small film and television company to the point of giving us money. For this condition, if I hadn't mentioned my name, I would have thought it was some unknown little director!"

A big Hollywood studio!
When had he ever been so groveling? He was still treating Huaguo Company, which they had always looked down upon.

Sun Huaizhong had dealt with them a lot before. When filming "The Great Wall", these little guys were very arrogant.

Now that I think about it, it’s really amazing!
"Look, Mr. Sun, how should we reply?"

Qin Qingmei looked at Sun Huaizhong's changing expressions, unsure of what he was thinking.

"How to reply?"

Sun Huaizhong chuckled, "Of course, let them go and stay where they can to cool off!"

"Return like this?"

This answer was somewhat beyond Qin Qingmei's expectations. Based on her understanding of Sun Huaizhong, this was a man who could not afford to be too early for no profit. Since there was such a huge benefit, he had no reason to refuse.

"Yes, just tell them the exact words you said!"

Sun Huaizhong nodded, "If they don't understand, just tell them, go f**k yourself!"

Qin Qingmei was stunned.

She had been Sun Huaizhong's secretary for some time, but she had never seen this side of Sun Huaizhong.

But she still had to remind, "The middleman who passed the message this time is Brother Chen Kai!"

"Oh, that's a good feeling!"

Sun Huaizhong smiled, "Then just use the above sentence to get rid of the calf, in Chinese, he can understand it!"

"what?"

"Do I mean that?"

Qin Qingmei was dumbfounded. What she wanted to express was that although Brother Chen Kai has a bad reputation in China, his influence in the whale circle is still there. If he doesn't look at the monk or the Buddha, they penguins can film without being a dick to Weinstein. Karma, but Brother Chen Kai, there is no need to offend him to death like this.

"Humph!"

"This old fool is really determined to work for Yang Guizi. He is determined to become a pretty J."

"If you want to drag me into trouble, there is no way!"

Sun Huaizhong's face, which was originally smiling, suddenly turned gloomy, "These foreign nobles talk nicely, and they send publicity funds and share the box office. They make it seem like they are here to give us money. Is this what they are doing?" Are you here for charity?"

"As for them, they spend millions on a charity gala, and then to raise 10 yuan, they have to fly on a plane and bring a group of reporters to deliver the urine. Even if they do charity, they can't beat us penguins."

"What they're trying to do is, isn't it because we just had a fight with Xihong Film and Television? They want us to attract firepower!"

"They don't even think about it, why am I doing this with Qianda?"

"These arrogant white pigs, do they really think I am a fool?"

"With the current public opinion situation, if we jump out, we will be sprayed by netizens every minute. In the end, they will benefit and "The Three-Body Problem" will be a big hit?"

“Let’s live out T-girl’s spring and autumn dreams!”

Sun Huaizhong was obviously angry as well.

This is really a destructive move by Weinstein Films.

If he really agrees to use Weinstein Pictures' money to promote it, or to suppress Xihong Film and Television, then he is like a follower with taunting attributes in the game. Everyone really has to punch him first. , won’t give up until it’s broken to pieces by him.

As for Weinstein Pictures, they can make a fortune quietly. Even if the quality of the first "Three Body" is good, the subsequent series may really help them reverse their reputation.

They, the penguins, will become each other's stepping stones, drowned in the quagmire by netizens' saliva.

Really good abacus!

I, Sun Huaizhong, am only interested in profit and unscrupulous.

But I'm just bad, I'm not stupid!
If you want me to do this kind of thing, I will tell you today, you are mistaken!

If you want to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight and reap the benefits, right?

You better learn how to write these words first!

Qin Qingmei could see that Sun Huaizhong was really angry. He cursed for a long time, and his content was extremely high.

"Go and contact Mr. Li from Xihongshi Film and Television and tell him that we will put aside the previous matters for now. Now they want to work for Weinstein Pictures. If they don't mind, we at Penguin Pictures will also come to help!"
