(Additional update Chapter 19)

"Twilight" is the first movie after Yuehua's acquisition of the top of the Communist Party and acquisition, and it is also a key battle to start Tingfeng Entertainment.

Copyright fee expenditure alone reached US$8 million, and in addition, there is 8% of the surrounding share.

In the United States, once a book is on the best-selling list, it is difficult to win the adaptation rights!

Especially last year's "Vampire Diary" was hit, and many companies of the same type of "Twilight" have snatched copyright. Thanks to the Sixth One, it would be impossible for Zhang Junsheng to win "Twilight". More importantly, Stephanie Mel is a housewife and does not know much about Hollywood games!

The Hunger Games is not that simple!

Its author, Susan Collins, is a member of the Screenwriters Association. She wrote this book for the purpose of copyright!

Therefore, although the adaptation rights of "The Hunger Games" cost only $4 million, Susan Collins asked to participate in the creation, and the Lion spoke out loudly, demanding 20% ​​of the surrounding profits...

Still in negotiations...

After Tsuna won "Twilight", it immediately started promotion and promotion.

Although it is not as powerful as Warner Bros., it directly sold "The Little Wizard" to become the world's best-seller, but Tingfeng itself is an entertainment company and has its own cooperative promotion channel.

After spending eight million dollars in publicity funds, "Twilight" successfully topped the top three best-selling list in North America.

Have a large number of loyal fans!

It can be said that as long as this series is shot, you will definitely make a lot of money!

However, I never thought that the midnight game would be ranked ninth in the North American midnight game...

A big sale is foreseeable...

...

On the first day of "Red Cliff" released, it won a box office of 31 million!

This result refreshed the first-day box office of domestic movies...

After the premiere, both film critics and media reporters gave their own comments, which were almost one-sidedly positive, such as "magnificent momentum as "The Lord of the Rings", "glorious and heavy blockbusters", "magnificent scenes", etc.

Unlike receiving red envelopes, media and film critics, the audience paid to go to the theater to watch it. Many of them laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt. Only after the movie ended did they realize, hey, it’s not right, isn’t "Red Cliff" a big battle?

I'm here to watch epic movies, not to laugh!

"Such a good subject, I have to shoot popcorn, and the popcorn is not completely exploded!"

"I'm so thunderous, Mengmeng, stand up!"

"There are so many complaints that I can't complain..."

Yuehua's navy is online at the right time. These navy troops are very good at making movies, and they have unique means:

"The safest thing to make a costume film that is familiar to the Chinese is to have three methods. First, it is to fully respect the aesthetics of the common people's Romance Storytelling; second, it is to completely follow historical facts and find twenty experts to protect them, and whoever dares to talk too much will be destroyed; third, it is not up to both sides, and it is completely re-made. The most terrifying thing is to mix the three things together, and it is impossible to justify itself."

"Director Hu has made too many films in the world, so that when he handles big plots like "Red Cliff", he obviously followed the previous routine. The heroes became the boss of the underworld, the strategist became the chivalrous and soft-hearted knights, and the generals became the reckless. Therefore, the power and heroic deeds disappeared. What the director offered was definitely the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his personal understanding."

"In the director's mind, the Three Kingdoms themselves are the world, and they are by no means the world. The brave unify the world, and the wise win the world. Therefore, for Director Hu, who was born in filming Hong Kong-style police and gangster films, chivalrousness is far more important than power and conspiracy. This concept directly affects the creation of the script, which has produced the current film."

"The most important thing is that this film is seriously delayed!"

"Due to the existence of the original work, the story has absolutely no problem in its overall structure and direction, but how to tell it is the director's grasp. Under the background of the huge story, many branches and endings are too complicated, and the existence of some paragraphs is almost meaningless and has nothing to do with the main pole. The whole movie is in a free state. Some paragraphs are almost the warmth inherent in early Hong Kong police and gangster films, but they do not play a role in deeply portraying the characters. At the same time, some paragraphs seem too pretentious, giving people a feeling of doing this paragraph."

Despite the audience's complaints, the box office of "Red Cliff" still exploded. After winning a high box office of 31 million on the first day, it has continued to rise all the way, exceeding 100 million in four days!

It set a new first weekend box office high for all Chinese and foreign films that have been released this year.

It has set a new record in Chinese films.

However, with the rapid increase in box office, the audience's increasingly fierce criticism of "Red Cliff", the media and film critics could not resist the criticism of the audience and turned against each other...

In contrast, "Crazy Stone" still maintains a single-day box office revenue of tens of millions...

...

Let’s talk about the North American market.

"Twilight" was released on the first day, and it cost $29 million;

The next day, 32 million;

On the third day, the box office declined, and it still won 28 million...

The first weekend is 89 million US dollars. According to general box office statistics, the first weekend box office should be between one-third and one-half of the total box office.

In other words, the box office of "Twilight" exceeded 200 million yuan!

There are no big stars and no big scenes, just talking about an old-fashioned story of a vampire and humanity, but it set a box office record in 2008: No. 1 in the box office in the first week of North America...

Correspondingly, there are strong scoldings from film critics and ordinary audiences...

The American version of "Tiny Times" is not a joke!

IMDb's 5,680 viewers scored an ultra-low average of 4.4;

In Yahoo's survey, 13 media outlets had a comprehensive rating of C, while 4,864 viewers gave an average B+.

Data doesn't tell the whole story.

In fact, many viewers gave high praise to "Twilight: Twilight".

There is a clear polarization trend in IMDB's ratings - 37.5% of those who give 10 points account for 40.1% of those who give 1 point; male audiences give 3.4 points, female audiences give an average score of 6.8 points; among viewers under 18 years old, boys give 3.2 points, girls give 8.0 points...

It goes without saying that young female audiences are the main people who are pursuing "Twilight".

The Twilight series itself is a "Qiong Yao novel" written for little girls abroad - who would believe that an ordinary girl is fallen in love with a handsome vampire and a handsome werewolf at the same time?

North America's No. 1 film critic Roger Albert only gave "Twilight" one star comment, saying, "The characters in the film should be arrested, I really don't know what they are swaying there. The process of watching this film is like walking slowly on a tractor."

However, the popularity of "Twilight" has pushed a fact that no one can deny - the post-90s generation who are still regarded as children have become the main consumption power of the movie.

A box office victory, who cares about your film critic's evaluation?

Zhang Junsheng immediately called Wen Ziren: "Do you do "Crescent Moon" and "Luminous Eclipse" immediately, and try to release one in a year. By the way, is the fourth part written?"

“…still in creation!”

"Don't hurry, take your time, when will your "Luxing" be filmed?"

"Next year, I collected a few books some time ago, and there was a book called "Human Purge Plan". I think it's pretty good!"

"Okay, you can do it. I will go to North America in two days, and we will talk about it later!"

After thinking about it, I added: "Pick out the words of the fans and promote them. It is best to form a grand occasion for fans to PK critics!"

"No., I understand!"

Wan Ziren nodded and agreed. Of course he knew what Zhang Junsheng was going to do, but he was nothing more than to continue to attract loyal fans of "Twilight"...

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he had a new plan...

"Twilight" is a big box office in North America. Should we take this opportunity to form an overseas distribution channel belonging to Yuehua?
Chapter completed!
