Another World Under My Pen

It takes time for any new style to be accepted.

Don't look at "Pirates of the Caribbean" wonderfully, but his protagonist who is not serious enough to be crazy is not necessarily liked by everyone. And the love between the heroine and the little blacksmith is actually the same.

There is also the worldview of the pirates, which is very different from the traditions of China.

Even on the earth, many people just watch the excitement, let alone in this world where Chinese traditional culture is more powerful?

Therefore, Sun Peng is not very optimistic about the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in China.

But he knows that this kind of subject matter is definitely very attractive to European and American countries with a maritime tradition... ahem, especially for European and American countries with a pirate tradition. And the coquettish style of Captain Jack, coupled with the coquettish or epic soundtrack that Sun Peng took the time to pick up, definitely has the potential for another box office explosion!

The global film market in the following week also proved this to Sun Peng.

If it was only the distribution department of Hymens, it might not be enough for "Pirates of the Caribbean" to be released simultaneously in 66 countries around the world, but if the name laobai was added, they would have completed the surpassing of "Avengers"— —In contrast, Hymens is much better than Paramount, which has been in decline over the years.

Sixty-six countries, sixty-six first weekend box office champions.

Even if China’s first weekend box office only had 1.1 billion Chinese coins, it just reached half of "Avatar", but it eventually won the box office championship, overwhelming an action blockbuster by the local Benma Films and Nanhai Films. A science fiction production!

Sun Peng is already satisfied with the 1.1 billion first weekend box office.

In this way, the total box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in China may return to more than 2.5 billion, which is about 400 million US dollars. This is fully in line with Sun Peng's expectations-he knows that if he does not have his own name in the screenwriting and soundtrack. Column, Haimen Sneng is already very good at a box office of more than one billion in China.

Therefore, the focus of the box office is still in Europe and North America.

In the first weekend, 80 million U.S. dollars in Europe and 94 million U.S. dollars in North America, their performances were fairly "average", and the combined performance was a Chinese level. This is due to the laobai name bonus, otherwise, the box office will drop by at least 20%.

however……

In the next second week, Europe and the United States began to exert their strength.

In seven days, "Pirates of the Caribbean" hit China’s box office once. When only 570 million China dollars were received in seven days of the second week, the film’s seven-day box office in North America was $120 million, while in Europe It's 99 million!

Of course, the third week also inevitably fell sharply.

But even with a large drop, "Pirates of the Caribbean" in Europe and North America's box office in the third week still exceeded 35 million.

Until "Iron Man" was released, the box office of this pirate movie exceeded US$300 million in North America, nearly US$300 million in Europe, and US$350 million in China!

The lack of stamina in China has disappointed Haimensi.

However, the global box office has reached 1.2 billion, and the final result is at least 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, but it is enough to satisfy Haimen, and Sun Peng is surprised-he knows that with the existence of China, breaking one billion is appropriate. But I didn't expect it to reach 1.3 billion!

But soon Sun Peng understood the reason.

Without him, the world box office capacity of this era is much larger than when the original version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released on earth!

Think about it, if those classic movies can be postponed for ten or twenty years, it is not impossible to double the box office?

Therefore, Sun Peng must start preparing for the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" script.

It’s just that this initial preparation was for the people of Hymens. Sun Peng knew very well in his heart that he would spend a day or two at most to pick up the original script...

This is the most hateful thing about the traversers, it is so easy for them to make money.

The average annual income of Hollywood screenwriters is only 300,000 US dollars, and the income calculation methods are also various. Some are sold out according to the script, some are paid according to the proportion of the production cost, and of course, some are divided into the box office. Relatively fair, screenwriters can get the way they want.

If you are confident, you must pay dividends.

And top screenwriters, a movie earns millions or even tens of millions of dollars, which is nothing new in Hollywood. The screenwriters of those American dramas are even better, because compared with movies, the ability of American dramas to attract money is not bad at all, and the degree of dependence on screenwriters is higher.

It's just that Hollywood screenwriters rarely do it alone.

Except for some small costs, or independent films, most of the American dramas are in collaboration with others. For example, in a Hollywood masterpiece with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, there are often dozens or even dozens of screenwriters involved, responsible for the creative, plot, dialogue and other processes, and even after the script is completed, the script doctor will be asked to "diagnose" and choose Error correction.

Some of these screenwriters have authorship rights, but most do not.

A person like Sun Peng writes a screenplay, and is still a super blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. It is not unavailable in Hollywood, but it is absolutely rare!

and……

The production company can polish Lao Bai's script, but not allow major changes!

If any screenwriter in Hollywood dares to make such a request, he will definitely be kicked away by the producer and stepped on again by the way. But when they face laobai, which is unbeaten in China or in the international market, whether Haggs or Hymens, or Paramount and Capocca, the only choice is to agree All his conditions.

Not only that, but the film company has to put out a lot of real money.

Working with Lao Bai is also hierarchical.

The highest level is naturally "Avengers". Lao Bai wrote and directed and scored the whole movie from beginning to end. What the film company has to do is to obey the instructions, let you pay for it, let you find People are looking for people; and the lowest level is the Harry Potter series and the Han Bo series. Anyway, the adaptation rights of the novels are given to the film company. Laobai will never interfere with what you want to do.

And either way, the film company will have to bleed heavily.

For example, the Little Wizard and Little Mage series with the lowest cooperation registration and the least effort by Lao Bai. Because of the astonishing number of first prints and sales of the two novels, Haggs and Nanhai reluctantly opened the box office that they had never had before. , Copyright and peripheral dividend ratio, just the three movies in the next three years will bring Sun Peng huge profits of more than one billion US dollars!

As for the method with the highest level, it goes without saying.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2" certainly does not require Haimens to pay so much, but when Liu Chang proposed a basic salary of 20 million plus an 8% global box office dividend and 5% follow-up copyright and peripheral dividends, they also After a little chop, he completely agreed.

One or two days' time investment, and the return of hundreds of millions of dollars in the future, this is the hateful thing about the traveler...
