Chapter 369 A $100 Million Investment

January 30, 2008, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month of the lunar calendar, the Little New Year.

"Saw 2" is still being released on this day, but it has been more than a month, and it is almost time to draw. Especially in China, it is the Chinese New Year, who would still like such horror movies?

So, the box office at this time is more than 1 million a day, and sometimes less than 1 million, so I just hold on.

The area of ​​Asia is almost similar, and the influence of thousands of years of Chinese culture is naturally small. There are also many Chinese people spread throughout Asia. Although the Chinese New Year is not as grand as the mainland outside, it cannot be underestimated.

However, it is different for Europe and the United States, such an NC-level impact is not great.

Worldwide, "Saw 2" has won nearly 1.3 billion box office, and it is expected that the world will be released in half a month. It is estimated that even if it is less than 1.4 billion, it will not be much different.

Another 18-day release of "Bears: The Treasure-Strike Bear Soldier" is very glorious. During the Chinese New Year, many parents will take their children to the cinema.

"Bears: The Treasure-Strike Bear Soldier" won nearly 50 million box office in half a month, and is expected to be released in one month, with the box office in mainland China reaching more than 80 million and even more.

From this day we can see that the box office has risen a little bit, which is inseparable from the Chinese New Year.

"Butterfly Effect" has also declined a lot recently. As mentioned before, watch the New Year holiday to celebrate, and you make it so deep that not many people like it.

Except for Europe and the United States, "Butterfly Effect" is very popular in Europe and the United States. Although the box office is inconspicuous, it has received rave reviews.

After entering the Internet age, many people cannot live without the Internet. It seems that watching news online is a habit.

So, after that article came out, everyone was shocked.

"I didn't expect that there were so many box offices, which was incredible. However, it was mostly a contribution from foreign box office. Even some companies were envious of them. They could also be released abroad with the ability." Netizens.

"It's really amazing, especially Brother Meng actually contributed 66% of the box office, which is so awesome."

"Unknown to me, I have become the number one film and television company in China. It has risen too fast. After reading this report, I realized that DreamWorks has such a big radiation and so many subsidiaries are also very powerful."

"Looking forward, continue to be glorious, so you won't have to worry about good movies."

"Hey! By the way, Brother Meng's work "Butterfly Effect" has been released. According to Brother Meng's speed and efficiency, the new film should be launched. I wonder if there is any news about it?"

"It's not just Brother Meng, but the cartoon of Dream Special Effects seems to be about to start a new cartoon. I wonder what it looks like?"

Netizens are looking forward to the new works of DreamWorks.

I don’t know when, but it seems that my expectation for the new DreamWorks work has become a hope, especially for movie fans.

"In 2008, a glorious year, I look forward to China hosting the Olympics. I wonder what will happen?" Netizen.

“Yes, there are so many things to look forward to this year.”

Not to mention netizens, Wang Meng is looking forward to it. This year will not only be a glorious year for China, but also a tragic year.

Wang Meng could not be a prophet, as it was unrealistic, so he could only helplessly follow the trend.

And online, everyone is looking forward to Wang Meng's new work.

On this day, on January 30, "Yangtze River VII" directed by Stephen Chow was officially released.

This step of the movie embodies everyone's expectations for "Shaolin Football" and "Kung Fu". According to logic and expectations, it is even more anticipated than Wang Meng's works.

However……

Many movie fans were disappointed this time, and the so-called science fiction movie "Yangtze River 7" made countless movie fans sad.

After being released for one day, the film was constantly complaining. Although it was still nonsense and Stephen Chow was still popular, the movie was really not that good.

It was also from this movie that Stephen Chow began to withdraw from the starring role and worked hard to become a director.

This is true for the subsequent "Journey to the West to the Mermaid".

The recent storm is not just as simple as Wang Meng's movies are popular and Stephen Chow's works are criticized.

A Hollywood star Heath Ledger, who Wang Meng likes very much, just won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and committed suicide. The reason is very simple, and he is too deeply involved in the role.

When he was playing Batman Black Knight, he locked himself in a hotel room for a long time in order to understand the clown's psychology. He repeatedly contacted him to lick his lips, stroke his hair, speak tone, etc., and finally created a clown with Heath Ledger! However, because he was too deeply involved in the role, Heath Ledger could not bear the pressure brought by the performance, and finally died of depression and medication.

This news attracted a lot of attention worldwide, and it was too deeply involved in the role, and the hard work of the actors was also mentioned by everyone.

Wang Meng knew that in 20 days, the famous host Shen Dianxia would also pass away, which would trigger a craze at that time.

This is still going to happen.

2008 was definitely a wonderful year. Some master-level photography expert, Mr. Chen, was scolded? There were Jinsha and Schengerile's "Shrew's Gate", some were married and some were passed away. In short, it was a very wonderful year.

DreamWorks also announced a major plan.

Once this big plan released the news, it quickly flooded Stephen Chow's "Yangtze River VII".

February 3, 2008.

"The 3D movie "Kung Fu Panda" jointly produced by DreamWorks and DreamWorks Peak Entertainment Company was officially launched."

summary:--

The film is set in ancient China, with its landscape, sets, clothing and even food full of Chinese elements. The story tells the story of a clumsy panda who aspires to become a martial arts master.

The story takes place in ancient China a long time ago, and it starts with a giant panda who likes to roll around and roll around.

By the way, Panda Abao is an apprentice in a noodle shop. Although he is clumsy and has barely found a career, Abao daydreaming every day without any taboos, dreaming that one day he can fight a peak battle with star-level figures in the world of kung fu...

The five kung fu masters in "Peace Valley" have different attitudes toward dramatic results: they are righteous, brave and fearless. The tiger master regards Abao as a veritable joke... but their attitude towards this matter is like her fickle personality, which is not very clear; Master Mantis is the smartest among several masters, and he is very helpless about Abao's current situation and always secretly helps.

Finally, Abao is trained to become a master of "kung fu master" and makes a gorgeous appearance...a top warrior who can defeat powerful enemies.

As for the big dragon that made everyone feel like they were facing a great enemy, it was a very narcissistic snow leopard. He had been waiting for the day of revenge for 20 years, but he never dreamed that what he was waiting for was a giant panda. After the fierce battle, Abao defeated the big dragon with his understanding of martial arts and the martial arts taught by his master, saved the valley, and brought peace to the valley.

...

When this news was released, many people had a short circuit for a while.

"I'm right, I think it's costing 100 million US dollars. What the hell is the movie that costs so much money, and the production cycle is actually one and a half years old. What the hell?" Netizen.

"I can only say that I admire you. I'm optimistic. It's a 3D animation movie. Such a movie is short for one and a half years. It's normal to make such a movie for three or four years. So it's not outrageous to invest so much and the production time is so long." Netizens.

"Is DreamWorks crazy? It's so scary. Cartoons cost 100 million. It seems that our Chinese movies have not invested in such a big movie, right? Is "Bears: The Treasure-Strike Bear Soldier" successful? DreamWorks are full of confidence." Netizens.

...

For a time, everyone was very surprised and invested 100 million US dollars. It was just a joke, it was too outrageous. As for 3D animation, I paid less attention to it.

Only Wang Meng knew that the name 3d in 2009 would be a crazy name, so he used 3d animation in advance, rather than ordinary two-dimensional animation.

As for the production cycle, it is still conservative and expensive. It took three years for the original version to be produced and released.

Of course, it took a long time to create scripts and stereotype characters in the early stages.

This time, with Wang Meng’s experience in his previous life, this aspect will shorten a lot of time, so one and a half years are not outrageous.
