Chapter 628 [Creating a mythical film series! ]
Seeing her refusal, Peng Wanhua stopped.
Qin Wanqiu rolled her beautiful eyes and gave him a blank look.
Then he added: "I am worried that if this precedent is set, will there be more people like him who will go out and start their own business?"
Peng Wanhua nodded and then shook his head.
He said: "If this is true, it means that the entire industry is developing rapidly and becoming more prosperous. As industry leaders and dealers, don't we want to see such a scene?
Moreover, not everyone can manage the investment of movies by themselves like Stephen Chow. After all, there are only four people at the level of Stephen Chow, Chow Sang-Yi, and Leslie Cheung. "
Qin Wanqiu: "No, to be on the level of Shuang Zhou Yicheng, we have to include Zhang Xueyou. Because of the box office success of several "A Chinese Ghost Story" movies, his current salary is comparable to Shuang Zhou Yicheng."
Peng Wanhua spread his hands and said, "I'm just giving you an example, don't take it so seriously."
Qin Wanqiu laughed.
Peng Wanhua continued, "To be frank, if Stephen Chow invested in two unsuccessful movies, he would probably lose all his money. So..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of his previous life.
Zhou Xingxing founded his own film company, Caixing Company, in 1994. He then invested heavily in the two-part "A Chinese Odyssey", but the audience did not buy it, resulting in his film company being unable to recover its costs and going bankrupt.
If Stephen Chow continues to shoot the two "A Chinese Odyssey" trilogy and repeats the same mistakes, he will probably still lose money.
My unintentional action just now might have prevented Hongxing from suffering a major investment loss.
"So, there are still people scrambling for our investment," Qin Wanqiu continued.
Peng Wanhua nodded and said, "You know the characteristics and risks of film investment. It is not something that one person can invest in."
He remembered that after Stephen Chow went bankrupt in his previous life, he no longer dared to take charge of all movie investments by himself.
Even if it is a movie that it thinks is sure to be a box office hit, it will not do so.
It’s because of this loss.
Qin Wanqiu nodded in approval. As the banker behind the scenes, she naturally knew the overall situation of the film's investment returns.
“Yes, the return on investment in the film industry is very high now, but that’s only for some movies that are box office hits. In fact, many movies don’t make money or even lose money.”
"So, the problem you were worried about just now is not a problem at all." Peng Wanhua said with a smile.
He then added, "And we should set aside a sum of money every year to establish a new star director fund." Qin Wanqiu was puzzled: "New Star Director Fund?"
Peng Wanhua nodded and said, "Yes. We will provide sponsorship to at least ten new directors every year to shoot movies. This will not only help us discover some new directors and create a more prosperous film market, but also help us continue to establish our influence in the industry."
"In this way, even if some famous directors leave, we can still continuously discover and cultivate new star directors?" Qin Wanqiu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Peng Wanhua nodded.
Thinking of A Chinese Odyssey, he suddenly remembered the mythology series of movies he had planned to create before.
At that time, the project was shelved because the mythological story was not systematic and the special effects were not good enough.
Now the book written by Lao Liu has presented the Chinese historical mythology system relatively completely, and the special effects technology has been polished to a very impressive level.
He decided it was time to start.
So he talked about the mythology series of movies he had created before:
"We talked about creating a mythology series of movies before, but it has never been launched. Now that we have the accumulation of the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series, plus the improvement of the mythology story system and special effects technology, should we put this series of movies on the agenda?"
A good movie is like a golden egg.
Creating a film series is like cultivating a goose that lays golden eggs.
In his memory, there were countless successful movie series in his previous life.
These film series are like gooses that lay eggs, providing film companies with a steady stream of box office revenue and profits.
Movies like the Terminator series, the 007 series, the Fast and the Furious series, the X-Men series, the Harry Potter series, and the Twilight series all have box office revenues of billions of dollars.
The "Star Wars" series has a box office of over 300 billion, and the Marvel series has exceeded billion US dollars!
It’s simply a money printing machine!
His requirement was simple, which was to create a series of Eastern mythology films that could rival Marvel.
Moreover, compared to Marvel, which has many flaws, the mythological series of movies he created can completely avoid such flaws.
For example, the biggest flaw is that every time the cosmic villain Thanos comes to Earth, he actually fights the Avengers with a long sword!
Can you believe this is a science fiction movie?
It's simply rubbing people's IQ into the ground.
What a lack of imagination!
As long as the mythological movie that Peng Wanhua wants to create has self-consistent logic, cool special effects, and traditional historical and cultural heritage, it is unlikely that such inexplicable flaws will occur.
"I think it's possible. The A Chinese Ghost Story series has been filmed for more than half, and we really need a new series of movies to take up the banner. I will discuss this matter with the film and television company later." Qin Wanqiu expressed her agreement.
She then added, “By the way, speaking of Lao Liu’s books, due to the spread of the Internet, his books now have a large readership in both Mainland China and Hong Kong.
As a result, the sales of his physical books have exploded!"
Peng Wanhua smiled and asked, "How are the sales?"
"About 16 copies were sold in the first quarter of this year, but with the spread of word of mouth and the rapid development of the Internet, sales in the second quarter have exceeded 300 million copies!" Qin Wanqiu said with a smile.
"Hiss! So fierce?" Peng Wanhua was slightly surprised.
Although she knew that this book would definitely establish Lao Liu's status as the originator of online literature, she did not expect that Lao Liu's book would suddenly become popular so quickly.
"Yes, after all, this book is a blend of Xianxia cultivation and traditional Chinese mythology, and the plot and characters are very good. As long as the publicity is in place, it will be highly recognized and popular.
According to our survey, not only young people like it, but also middle-aged and elderly people like it very much. "Qin Wanqiu said.
"He is the first person to try something new." Peng Wanhua said with emotion.
"Yes, according to our estimates, the sales of this book will explode further in the third quarter!"
"Can it explode again?" Peng Wanhua looked surprised.
Qin Wanqiu: "Yes, according to sales and pre-order statistics from all over the world, its third quarter sales are estimated to be no less than six million copies, and the total global sales of this book are expected to exceed ten million copies!"
"Hiss~ Such high sales? Then he can earn a lot of royalties from this book."
Qin Wanqiu: "That's right. After deducting taxes, he will probably get more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition, we will purchase the copyright for the subsequent film and television adaptation from him. We may even invite him to participate in the preparation of the film script, and he can make another fortune."
Although they are a family, brothers have to settle accounts clearly and do business transactions, and Qin Wanqiu still has to pay the money she deserves.
"Not only that, his second book is almost finished and will probably be available soon."
