At the airport, Shen Changlin was stopped by a bunch of media and asked what he thought about "Manslaughter" box office exceeding one billion...

"The box office of "Manslaughter" exceeded 1 billion... Isn't this normal? A good movie, a good director, a good actor... an excellent movie brings both fame and fortune. Is it any surprise?"

Then the media asked a question that surprised Shen Changlin. They said, "There is no traffic participation"...

"There are no popular stars... Who told you that a movie must be a movie with popular stars participating in order to be a box office hit?"

"Didn't I say it before? Popular celebrities are just a niche hobby, while mainstream movies are for the public!"

"Then "My Girlhood"..."

""My Girlhood"...it also has a good script. Otherwise, why can't "Gardenia Blooms" and "Secret Fruit" compare to it? The youth films we make are different from most fan films in the industry. We are not a shoddy circle. Money movie!”

"My opinion on traffic? I don't have any opinion. A good actor is a good actor, and a bad actor is not good." After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "I use Yi Yang Qianxi because I think he is good." Actor... Before filming "The Battle of Baoshan", he stayed on the set for two months and never asked for leave. This time, he shot "The Eight Hundred" for three months and never asked for leave. If his scenes were not available, he would just look at the cast and crew. How do you act? You are good at observation, you also pay attention to yourself, and most importantly, your talent is okay..."

Reporters still want to ask, Shen Changlin has already got into the car under the protection of the security team...

I still have lingering fears: "What's going on?"

Guo Songjiang, who came to pick him up, said: "Recently, the Internet is advocating the big IP + traffic model, thinking that this is the victory of the Internet algorithm!"

"...Hey! Fan economy!"

The fan economy has been hyped up by the mass media and the entertainment industry in recent years, with capital enthusiastically producing formula products of "big IP + small fresh meat", as if this industry is so simple that you only need to master addition and subtraction.

A bunch of marketing accounts are crazy about brainwashing, making many people think that domestic movies = fresh meat movies!

I feel that finding a source of traffic is the right answer for the movie.

This is indeed the case. In the past three years, three more "Tiny Times" films have been released in succession. Film producers who all wanted to ride on the same principle also followed the principle of "whoever is popular invites the other" and worked for Ke Zhendong, Han Geng, and Wu Yi. Annoying, fans of Li Yifeng have created many movies of varying quality...

But these movies are not bad at the box office, at least the studios made money!

In the original time and space, until "Shanghai Fortress" was released, there were still people discussing the topic: 'Why is it that Lu Han has so many fans, but "Shanghai Fortress" has such a poor box office?'

When did the box office of a movie become equated with the number of fans of an actor?

“But it’s really easy to make money from fans!”

"Taking a long-term view, we don't just do one vote and run away..."

Guo Songjiang smiled: "I just said it casually... By the way, do you know "Rim of the Pacific"?"

"You know... Mecha Warrior!"

"Legendary Pictures wants to continue to build this IP...because the last one has a good reputation."

Shen Changlin scratched his head: "I remember that the first part of "Pacific Rim" failed to recover its cost, right?"

"...But the reputation is not bad, and China's box office is very high...Many people think that relying on the Chinese market can guarantee the return of the sequel to "Rim of the Pacific"!"

Shen Changlin frowned: "That's too optimistic!"

""Fast and Furious 6" was released at about the same time as "Pacific Rim," and the box office of the former was much lower than that of the latter... "Fast and Furious 7" took in 2.2 billion this year..."

"'Fast' is different. It has the foreshadowing of the first six films, and Paul Walker failed. Who failed in 'Pacific Rim'?"

“Mecha is the romance of Chinese men!”

"Gundam fans add drama to themselves! My romance is 'I'll make the head', and I haven't even watched Gundam!"

Shen Changlin has always despised the saying that xx is a man's romance...

Except for a 20-year-old girl who is his only true love, men are very fickle in other aspects!

"I've watched "Macross" and "Evangelion"..."

Xiao Xu, the driver, interrupted.

Shen Changlin took over the topic: "There is also "Light Warrior", draw a circle and make a statement..."

Xiao Xu also went on to recite his family treasures: ""Dragon Fighter", "Super Warrior"..."

""Power Rangers"?"

"Yellow Leopard Warrior Transformation!"

"Oh, um, that's the Transformers series created by Hasbro..." Speaking of this, Shen Changlin looked at Lao Guo with disdain: "You, a Gundam fan, what else can you say?"

"...I didn't say I was a Gundam fan...I said I was a mecha...the first animation I watched was "RoboCop"..."

"RoboCop? The one with Mommy Frankenstein?"

Lao Guo explained: "No, his film is a remake. The first version was filmed in 1987. There are animated versions and live-action film versions. It was once introduced to CCTV for broadcast..."

"In short, I'm not interested in "Pacific Rim"... Legendary Pictures seems to be selling itself recently. I heard that Lao Wang is planning to take over..."

Guo Songjiang nodded and commented by the way: "I owe hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if I sell myself, I won't be able to get a good price!"

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Shen Changlin smiled mysteriously...

Thomas Tull is very powerful. It should be at the end of the year that a piece of news will be revealed. It is not a Hollywood studio that has been in trouble for years and is seeking to change hands, but a Chinese company that is lucky enough to acquire a famous Hollywood studio!

The words "famous Hollywood studio" are very expensive...

…

"Around the World," "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader," and "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" are all works that did not perform well at the North American box office and relied on overseas comebacks.

The most famous is of course the "Resident Evil" series, which has almost become a cash cow for Sony!

80% of revenue comes from overseas.

But seriously, is there any major Hollywood production that can achieve revenue balance by relying solely on the Chinese market?

Well…

It really does, "Venom" is...

1.87 billion box office, the cost of this drama is 100 million US dollars...

Back to the topic, it is understandable that Hollywood wants to rely on the Chinese market.

The Chinese market is theoretically three times that of North America, the world's largest single market...

And "Fast and Furious 7" also proved the market capacity.

Therefore, it is understandable that Legend has come up with the "Pacific Ocean 2" project...

The problem is that Shen Changlin has no confidence in "Pacific Rim 2". Even if it can be magically modified and modified to the extent that most domestic audiences are satisfied, the probability of making a profit is still very small... Without him, the genre of "Pacific Rim" is too Expensive.

The first part of the game cost 190 million U.S. dollars. For the second part, to expand the battle situation, the cost must be increased by at least 50% online...

The risk is too great, I can’t afford it!

But, to be honest, he is still quite interested in mechas.

Make five lions to form the feet and legs, the torso and the arms, and I will form the head...

Just thinking about it makes me feel happy!

It's just that copyright is difficult to handle - after the live-action version of the "Transformers" movie became a hit, the live-action version of "Voltron" was put on the agenda. Unfortunately, the copyright of the original work was complicated, the characters were confusing, and it was old, so it has not been resolved.

In the original time and space, it was not until 2022 that the wealthy Amazon spent huge sums of money to acquire the live-action movie rights to "Voltron".

Along the way, I arrived at the company with all kinds of messy thoughts in my mind.

"Director Xiaopeng is already here!"

"...Is Yi Qiao here too?"

"Well, the two of them together..."

Shen Changlin nodded: "Then I'll go up first."
Chapter completed!
