Chapter 776 Promote culture?

"Everyone must be very curious, why did I suddenly turn around to do this project to promote the history and culture of Huaguo when "Terminator" just won the global box office champion, and even hoped to win the global box office champion of the year?" Lin Lin Xiao smiled and scanned the humanity present.

"Everyone should know that the box office of "Terminator" in North America exceeded 3 million U.S. dollars, so do you know how much the box office share of "Terminator" is in North America?" Lin Xiao asked.

"It's less than 5000 million U.S. dollars after tax! In fact, everyone should know that it seems that U.S. dollars are easy to earn, but in fact, everything we do is making wedding dresses for foreign publishers and taxpayers." Lin Xiao said faintly said with a smile.

In fact, this number is not too surprising to everyone.

Is $5000 million a small amount?In fact, it is quite a lot, equivalent to nearly 3.5 million Chinese coins.

It's true that the Tower of the Sky can indeed get nearly 30% of the box office share in North America, but this 30% needs to deduct the promotional expenses paid in advance by Dick Group.

Coupled with the high tax, the 5000 million that can finally be credited to Ling Xiao Pavilion's account is actually already high.

"Of course, the revenue of "Terminator" in the North American market is indeed more than that, but you have to know how high the production cost of "Terminator" is. I can tell you an exact figure, the production cost plus publicity expenses , The investment in "Terminator" exceeds 10 billion Chinese dollars."

"The "Terminator" is a success, but what if it fails? Don't say anything, I haven't failed, and I will fail, so if the "Terminator" fails, then it will be extremely fatal for us Ling Xiaoge of."

"So, my idea is that super big productions, of course, still have to be made, but it is definitely not possible to make too many, because no one can guarantee that the movie will definitely make money when it is made."

"But I found that in the past two years, there seem to be more big productions, but the number of big productions of domestic films is much less, especially the share of costume films is decreasing every year."

"Large production, large investment, long cycle, and naturally high risks, so my idea is, why not deeply cultivate our Huaguo market, or even the market in Pan-Huaguo cultural areas? This is the biggest advantage we have. But it is rarely used." Lin Xiao talked eloquently.

But the theme was never highlighted, which made everyone present a little depressed.

"well, let's get back to business."

"Mr. Feng just mentioned promoting the history and culture of Huaguo. The meaning is obvious. Our project is related to history and culture."

"I don't know if you have read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

"I've seen it, and I have to say, Mr. Lin, in my opinion, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is no less than the four great classics in ancient times." Yan Wei from ECCOM spoke first.

"That's right, I think so too. Boss Lin is amazing. A "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" turned the unknown Three Kingdoms era into a well-known dynasty."

"Could it be that Mr. Lin's plan is "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?" Ouyang Ming of Tianxing asked with bright eyes.

"That's right. In fact, there are quite a few clips in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which are very artistically edited and very suitable for our film adaptation." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"For example, the [-]th Route princes in it crusade against Dong Zhuo, Sanying fought against Lu Bu, Zhao Yun entered and exited seven times in Changbanpo, burned Bowangpo, Guan Yunchang scraped bones to cure poison, empty city strategy, Huarong Road, etc., I think they are all very suitable. Make it into a movie."

"It seems that Mr. Lin has already considered this when writing "Three Kingdoms", right?" Feng Hai asked with a smile.

"That's true!" Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded with a smile.

Everyone was not surprised. After all, Lin Xiao is the screenwriter himself, so the story he wrote is quite normal from the perspective of film adaptation.

"In the magnificent era of the Three Kingdoms, the so-called troubled times produced heroes. The special era of the Three Kingdoms, the special political environment, created a large number of heroes. I am willing to authorize "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to our project at a symbolic price of 1 yuan, and The entire "Three Kingdoms" series of film plans will reach 25! The investment involved will also exceed [-] billion Chinese dollars!"

"Whether it is in terms of manpower or material resources, the High Heaven Pavilion is somewhat inadequate to carry out this project by itself. Therefore, I would like to invite everyone to join this "Three Kingdoms" series film project."

"First of all, the script of the first film of the "Three Kingdoms" series is already in production. The story is to intercept the story of the eighteen princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The name of this film is "The Meeting of Heroes."

"The investment for the first film is expected to be around 5 million Chinese dollars." After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he took a sip from his wine glass.

"Let me tell you the rest." Yao Ding glanced at Lin Xiao, seeing Lin Xiao nodding, he took over the conversation and said.

"The whole plan will last for 6 years, and the plan is to launch no less than 4 "Three Kingdoms" series films every year."

"At the same time, this Three Kingdoms plan will also be extended to TV drama versions, animation versions, and the development of games with the background of the Three Kingdoms, etc."

"Huaying has agreed to join this project, and will give the greatest support in terms of manpower. After all, everyone knows that although we will use individual heroes as the main body of the "Three Kingdoms" series, they are still war films and epic films after all. , Therefore, it will involve tens of thousands of military battle scenes. But with the support of Huaying, I believe these will not be a big problem." Yao Ding said with a smile.

"On this point, Huaying already has a complete plan and will fully support this project." Feng Hai echoed with a smile.

In fact, it is not that Huaguo does not have big IPs. On the contrary, Huaguo still has many popular IPs, such as the Four Great Classics, but some directors of Chinese people tend to make these IPs nondescript.

There are many films, but few high-quality ones.

"Of course, the "Three Kingdoms" series is just the beginning. Once the "Three Kingdoms" series is successful, then our Huaguo has a cultural history of 5000 years, the splendid Han and Tang Dynasties, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, the Five Heroes of the Spring and Autumn Period, etc., can actually be included in the follow-up of this plan. So, everyone, this is definitely not just a plan of tens of billions of Chinese dollars, but a very large plan. At the same time, this is a plan to show and promote the splendid history and culture of our country. I believe that any Chinese person, Everyone will be honored to join this project." Yao Ding said in a high-spirited manner.

"In fact, I think what everyone is most worried about is the issue of market acceptance. In fact, we have investigated this issue very early. In China, let's not talk about it. Let's talk about it in the Pan-China cultural area. In fact, we in China These historical and cultural-related film and television works and game works in China are very popular."

"The sales of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are also very hot in the island country and in the Bangzi country. Even the local "Three Kingdoms" research organization has been established to study "Three Kingdoms", a brilliant era that was not well known to everyone before."
