Chapter 903 A Sincere Sky Alliance?

There must be a certain degree of opportunism, otherwise, it will be considered a success. The volume itself is so large, but the cost of spreading a lot has reached a level that cannot be achieved by this method.

The three major projects of Tianmeng this time are indeed big money, but they are also taken advantage of. Copyrights such as bestsellers in North America have become rare commodities as more and more adaptations of bestsellers are sold.

The Hollywood giants still can't easily win, let alone a company from China. If there is no unknown PY transaction in it, no one will believe it.

It can be seen that the Tianmeng must have paid a huge and expensive price in it.

The group of people in Hollywood dared to cheat even Wall Street, let alone a film company in Huaguo.

Of course, if the three projects of Tianmeng are successful, then it's another matter. Even if it doesn't make money, but the content is produced, it will be profitable sooner or later.

After all, the first project is the key, and it also costs the most money. Once the first project is successful, subsequent financing will be very simple.

But if the first part of the series fails, it will basically lose money and make money, or even make money.

In fact, many people are not optimistic about Tianmeng, not because the three major projects are not strong enough and the lineup is not strong enough, but because the three projects of Tianmeng are difficult to shoot in the short term.

Because all three projects involve a lot of special effects, and special effects are the most time-consuming thing to do.

In other words, even if this is a successful project, the cycle is too long, and it is still too early to say whether it will be successful.

In the three series of "Infinite Reincarnation", "Knights and Magic", and "Mystery of the World", it will take at least one or two years for the first part to come out.

After all, from preparation to shooting, to the long post-production and special effects production, there is no one or two years, if you dare to shoot it, they will not dare to release it.

Then such a long period, it is difficult for Tianmeng to have other works appear.

Of course, this refers to Tianmeng, not to the several shareholder companies of Tianmeng.

On the Lingxiaoge side, Longteng's other two "Three Kingdoms Series" have been announced to be finalized, post-production has started, and they will be released soon.

Although the first part of "Three Kingdoms Series" can't be regarded as a big hit, it is not bad, and everyone knows that the series of movies has a very great charm, that is, to accumulate fans, especially movies like "Three Kingdoms Series", and Other movies are different. This kind of movie, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" itself has defined the roles of these people, and it has a bit of a mythical character. It is actually far more convenient to make a movie than other historical novels.

At the same time, "Three Kingdoms Series" itself has strong support from the official Huaying, so basically unless you encounter a film like "Six Paths" like before, otherwise, the film arrangement must be the highest treatment.

Movies like "Three Kingdoms Series" have unique Huaguo characteristics. Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, it is often difficult for this kind of movies to perform well abroad, especially in Europe and the United States.

But there are also advantages. This kind of film is very popular in the East Asian cultural circle, and it has a great sense of cultural identity in Asia.

Naturally, the box office will not be too bad. For example, the first "Three Kingdoms: Heroes" sold very well in island countries and other East Asian regions.

Tianmeng's ambitions are indeed great. For the Ling Xiaoge, Longteng will start a "Three Kingdoms" movie. The target is only the Chinese mainland market, and at most the Asian market. However, for the three series of Tianmeng, directly invite Hollywood directors. , the Hollywood team, and spent a lot of money to buy a super IP, naturally they want to reach the sky in one step.

Of course, the risk must be greater. In fact, Tianmeng has reduced the risk to the greatest extent.

"Knight and Magic" itself was once the first stand-alone console game, and it has a large number of fans all over the world.

So no matter how bad this kind of movie is, the box office can still be expected. Of course, there are disadvantages if there are too many fans, that is, it is difficult to agree.

And "Mystery of the World" is a super IP that has been listed as a bestseller in North America for [-] consecutive weeks, but this is a Western fantasy work, so it is really hard to say whether it can achieve its goal.

Take Huaguo as an example. Although Hollywood movies have killed the Quartet for so many years, in fact, Hollywood blockbusters are not invincible.

Hollywood movies, those modern movies, action movies, superheroes and other popcorn movies do have a market in China. It can be said that they have begun to use movies to open up the Chinese audience's sense of identity with some Western cultures, but Hollywood movies are awesome. It is still impossible to cross cultural boundaries.

For example, Western fantasy movies, in fact, Hollywood movies rarely achieve any big hits in China.

This is already considered good, after all, Huaguo people are always Huaguo people, no matter how they accept it, there is an upper limit, unless it is an IP like "Knight and Magic", which itself has already made Huaguo gamers understand deeply, otherwise Well, IPs like "Mystery of the World" are actually not that popular in China.

Besides, "Infinite Reincarnation" is a sci-fi masterpiece of Huaguo, but in fact, its reputation is not as great as imagined, because in Huaguo, science fiction works have declined for many years. Although it has rebounded in recent years, such IP even It's hard to compare with those big romance IPs in China.

So, in fact, when Lin Xiao, Yao Ding and others were discussing, they didn't pay much attention to these three major projects of Tianmeng.

If Lin Xiao were to choose, except for "Knight and Magic", he would not choose the other two.

Even in Lin Xiao's opinion, "Infinite Reincarnation" and "Mystery of the World" are not as suitable as movies like "Home Alone".

"Home Alone" still made Lin Xiao embarrassed for a long time, let alone "Infinite Reincarnation" and "Mystery of the World".

If "Infinite Reincarnation" was filmed by Lin Xiao, he would only film it for domestic audiences, while the main target audience of "Mystery of the World" is actually audiences in Europe and the United States.

As for domestic, it is really hard to say.

"What the hell? Invited me to star in "Knights and Magic" and "Mystery of the World"?" Lin Xiao looked at Xiao Jie with a confused expression.

"Yes, the call came to me." Xiao Jie looked at Lin Xiao with a smile and said.

"No, what do they mean? Do you think I will pick it up? And what kind of remuneration do they plan to offer me?" Lin Xiao was a little surprised at first, and then asked curiously.

"1 million Chinese dollars + 5% of the global box office share! Well, it's quite sincere." Xiao Jie said with a smile.

"Tsk tsk, they are really sincere, but what do you think they mean? Do they really want to invite me, or do they have some other purpose?" Lin Xiao asked with a tut twice.

"Is there a difference? As long as this invitation is sent out, no matter whether you accept it or not, their goal will be achieved." Xiao Jie crossed her arms and said with a smile.
