"The Matrix: Revolutions" was released during the Spring Festival, and Wu Long did not hold a premiere.

In China, the movie screening period is usually only about a month. This is true whether it is a foreign blockbuster or a domestic film. It depends on the situation, and it will be released in about a month.

Therefore, Wu Long did not let "The Matrix 3: Revolution" wait too long, but released it during the Spring Festival, avoiding the wait for domestic movie fans.

In fact, in Wu Lung's previous life, the reputation of the third part of The Matrix dropped, and the global box office was only more than 400 million US dollars. Compared with the more than 700 million US dollars of the second part, the global box office was almost halved.

The same production cost 150 million U.S. dollars, and the box office gap is so huge, which can be seen in the reputation.

In this life, Wu Long didn't care about the box office. For this kind of second and third films in a row, Wu Long simply arranged the schedule according to the call of the fans.

But in Merricken Country, this schedule is wrong.

The film schedule of Merricken Country is usually three months to six months. There is only two months between New Year and Spring Festival. According to the movie market of Merricken Country, the popularity of the second part of The Matrix has not dropped yet, and the box office

The energy has not been released yet. It really shouldn’t be rushed into the third part in such a hurry.

It's equivalent to beating your own people and robbing your own box office.

Unfortunately, Wu Long was willful and it was not easy for others to stop him.

Under such circumstances, the second part of The Matrix has not yet been released, and the third part will be released soon.

As a result, who would have thought that Wu Long's move was wrong. Many fans watched the third part and found that they had forgotten some details of the second part, so they went back to watch the second part. As a result, the box office of the second part actually increased against the trend.

Condition.

Fans of Wu Lung are willing to spend money on Wu Lung's movies.

Wu Long had no time to care about this. Before the third part of The Matrix was released, he was busy with Ice and Snow Ice Cream. The contract with Ice and Snow could not be signed so quickly, and many terms had to be carefully negotiated.

Mainly those shareholders were worried that they would be cheated. And the cooperation with Wu Long was not an ordinary cooperation.

During the negotiation, Wu Long had asked Qiu Ya to find someone to open a store in China and find a factory to make ice cream.

The factory makes ice cream. If there is a suitable one, buy it. If there is no suitable one, build a factory.

Wu Long is responsible for signing the contract with Bingxueyuan, and Qiu Ya is responsible for domestic related matters. She will use the contacts she has accumulated over the years to expand quickly. Try her best to open chain stores in major cities across the country.

These ice cream shops must open before the movie is released.

Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting!

Bingxueyuan sent technicians for training.

Qiu Ya is also worried that if the shareholders of Bingxueyuan regret and refuse to cooperate, won’t all the domestic investment be in vain?

Wu Long told her not to worry, even if Bingxueyuan didn't cooperate, he would find someone to buy the technology.

The key lies with Qiu Ya.

For Qiu Ya, she is also under a lot of pressure. After all, she used to work in the entertainment industry, and now she is asked to run a chain of ice cream shops and food factories to make ice cream.

However, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

No matter whether Wu Long gave it to her or not, this is her career anyway!

After the contract with Frozen was officially signed, Alex couldn't wait to ask Wu Long what movie he wanted to make.

Even several shareholders looked at Wu Long curiously, waiting for Wu Long's answer. They were still shareholders of Bingxueyuan and had the right to know this.

"The movie I'm going to make next is called "Frozen."

"Frozen?" Alex thought for a moment. "Romance movie?"

Wu Long shook his head and nodded again.

"There must be a love factor in it, otherwise how would we get those couples to come in and watch the movie?"

"Fantasy movie?"

"Yes, there is a fantasy element."

"Looking at your expression, there must be other factors that I can't think of."

"This is a 3D cartoon that combines love, fantasy, comedy and adventure."

"Cartoons!" Alex exclaimed.

Even a few shareholders screamed in surprise.

"Oh my God, cartoons, why didn't I think of that!"

"Damn it, we're in danger!"

"Damn cartoons, how many years have I not watched them? Why did I think of cartoons?"

"Cartoons, catch all the children in one go."

"If there is love, girls will definitely like to watch it."

"Damn it, Frozen can also mean Frozen! Wu Long actually used the name of our brand as the title of the movie. Aren't you afraid that people will think your movie is an advertising film?"

One of the shareholders suddenly sat on the chair and murmured:

"It's over, we lost."

A shareholder angrily scolded him.

"Don't say anything depressing, we haven't lost yet!"

"Don't think you can win this way, the audience may not accept this!"

"An advertising movie about selling ice cream, Wu Long, your reputation will be despised by everyone!"

"Fantasy? Magic ice cream? What a good idea. Unfortunately, other brands of ice cream can also be sold as magic ice cream."

"Wu Long, you are too confident. Maybe you know the history of movies, but you don't understand the ice cream market. Magic ice cream was once popular in this style."

"Pirates of the Caribbean can help you reinvent the pirate style, but Magic Ice Cream may not help you reinvent this type of ice cream."

These shareholders were panicking in their hearts, but they did not show any sign of admitting defeat. Each one was tougher than the last.

"Wu Long, what about the content and shooting plan of the film?" A shareholder wanted to make a request to Wu Long.

"Sorry, this is a business secret."

"You can't keep it secret from us."

"No, I have to keep it a secret from you too." There is no way to keep the title of any movie a secret, but the content can be kept a secret.

"So, do you really want to make Bingxueyuan surpass Bingdas with this movie?"

These shareholders did not give up asking for more information.

"Just like "Pirates of the Caribbean", otherwise what do you think?" Wu Long did not answer directly.

Everything must be kept confidential.

The production cost of the original "Frozen" was US$150 million. Now that "Frozen" is about to be filmed, Wu Long quoted US$210 million. He originally wanted to quote US$200 million, but it was difficult to split it equally.

portion, so an extra ten million was added.

The Magic Fortress Film Special Effects Company in Shilei is about to make a fortune. Their company helps Wu Lung do special effects for the movies he shoots in China at the lowest price possible. After all, without Wu Lung, their rise would not be possible.

If he wanted to make money, in addition to doing special effects for other films, Wu Long also paid them less money for the movies he made in Haolaihu, such as the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. Even so, compared to the computer special effects company in Haolaihu,

, Shi Lei still has an advantage in price.

The production cost of $210 million scared Alex.

"Brother Long, Bing Xueyuan really can't spend 210 million US dollars to make a movie!"

"Don't worry, it's not all your fault. Let me tell you, the income from Bingxueyuan's investment in making movies is not from how much ice cream Bingxueyuan sells, but from the box office share."

"The production cost of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is 300 million, and the total global box office is 1.4 billion. Excluding the box office in China, do your own calculations, how much profit is there? Three companies cooperate, one pays 100 million, how many million does each company receive?

?”

"How much ice cream will you sell for your Bingxueyuan?"

hiss--

"No wonder so many people want to invest in making movies. It's really a money grab!" Alex was shocked. He didn't know the inside story of the film and television industry. Now that he heard about it, he naturally lamented that selling ice cream was not as good as making movies.

Wu Long said this, but he ignored the fact that not all movies make a lot of money. There are only a few movies that make a lot of money, and a few lose so much that they lose their pants.

Amateurs blindly invest in making movies, and most of them are eaten up until nothing is left.

Of course, Wu Lung is a special case and cannot be used as an example. Therefore, many people want to invest in Wu Lung's movies, including Caribbean Alliance. Without "Pirates of the Caribbean", they still want to invest in Wu Lung's other movies.

It's just that Wu Long didn't let them play, they just wanted to squeeze out the IP value of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and begged Wu Long to continue filming the fourth and fifth movies.

After Alex was shocked and envious, he immediately reacted.

"Can "Frozen" also sell a box office of 1.5 billion?"

"I don't know. However, with an investment of US$210 million, it should be able to have a global box office of at least US$1 billion."

The original "Frozen" grossed more than 1.27 billion US dollars at the global box office, so Wu Lung dared to ask for a production cost of 200 million US dollars.

If Bingxueyuan and Lion Pictures were not severely punished, Weiner Pictures would be slapped with a blow. Wu Long felt very sorry for his own conscience.

"You don't have to bring out all of Bingxue Yuan. How many Bingxue Yuan will come out? Who will play the rest?"
