Chapter 160: 200 million box office! The lottery begins! (Please subscribe and vote monthly!)
Eternal Pictures is not just a cat or a dog.
This name is familiar to everyone in the car except Zhang Xirou.
In Blue Star, almost 80% of people who have watched movies have watched movies from Eternal Pictures.
And among them, more than 80% of people know the name of Eternal Pictures!
This is a giant that is invincible and prosperous in the film market.
Although Eternal Pictures has also had its troughs, even its troughs were heights that some small companies could not reach.
But at this time, such a giant came to steal the jobs of their little ghost film crew!
They even mentioned their names in the interview!
Even the director who directed Eternal Pictures' ghost film said something rude and could even be considered an insult.
But Liang Chi, Lin Manyu, Teacher Chen and others had their first reaction when they heard the news.
In addition to being angry, he was also a little flattered!
But this is actually understandable.
After all, one is a huge film business empire that controls countless classics and top-notch box-office movies in the world.
The other one is that until now, even in offline movie theaters, there is no serious drama crew that has appeared on the street.
There is a huge difference between the two!
It's so big that any normal person wouldn't think that the director of Eternal Pictures was deliberately targeting and provoking Lin Zheng's crew.
Except Lin Zheng!
Because only he knew that not long ago, the person in charge of Eternal Pictures Daxia Kingdom came to him specifically.
Ask him to distribute the three previous orthodox horror films globally.
At the same time, I also want to work with him on a movie.
Moreover, Secret Media was given much better conditions!
However, considering the overall situation of Blue Star, Lin Zheng was no longer willing to make orthodox horror films casually, so he rejected the offer.
Although both of them maintained a certain degree of politeness and decency at the time, the exchange was still somewhat unpleasant.
But now, after being rejected by Lin Zheng, Eternal Pictures actually started shooting ghost movies on its own.
It was also specifically mentioned in the interview and insulted Lin Zheng's movie.
Then this... you can basically confirm that the other party is deliberately targeting it.
Lin Zheng immediately approached Lin Manyu's cell phone and said, "Let me see what he said?"
Lin Manyu click to play the video.
After two seconds of buffering, the video titled "After 13 years, Eternal Pictures' highly popular IP "The Killer" movie has been launched again, and the well-known director Bruce has joined the project" began to play.
The video should be about some kind of ceremony abroad, and a director named Bruce is being interviewed.
The reporters first asked: "I heard that ghosts will appear in the new version of "The Killer". Why such an adaptation was made? What considerations do you and Eternal Pictures have?"
Bruce explained with a smile: "Of course it's for stimulation. Our lives are too monotonous now, and it's time we need a strong stimulation.
Horror, thriller, gore, these things can inspire the most primitive animal nature of us humans... This is a great attempt.
I am very fortunate that Eternal Pictures can choose me to cooperate and jointly bring this brand-new "Murder" with a completely different light to everyone."
The reporter asked again: "But now everyone is afraid of ghosts. Wouldn't this affect social harmony?"
The director had obviously anticipated these questions and answered without any hesitation: "Your worries are unnecessary. You know, after all, ours is just a movie, an entertainment product..."
Then there are those who say that the world will not change because of our movie, and people who are really scared will not come to watch it, etc. to blame the movie.
After he finished speaking, another reporter asked this question: "According to the information we got, Daxia also has a movie about ghosts. It was shot by the same director. One is called "Happy Ghost", and the other one is "Happy Ghost".
There is a movie called "The Mansion of Hell", would you like to ask Director Bruce if you know about these two movies?"
Bruce, who was still smiling at first, immediately became serious when he heard this. Then, he shook his head and laughed: "Of course I know, and I have watched it, but these two movies are completely different.
It's just a vulgar comedy covered in skin, and it's not worthy of being compared with our "Murder"!
Watching this kind of movie is almost a waste of time. His first three movies are more to my liking, but they are also just shoddy and not as good as our new movie. You can all look forward to it."
The reporter asked further: "But the previous three films directed by Da Xia all had very low box office. On the contrary, these two comedy ghost films have higher box office than the other."
Bruce chuckled: "This is indeed a good question, but if my information is correct, this director's next two movies have been involved in box office troubles...
Okay, this kind of movie with a box office of only a few hundred million yuan, no need to waste my time, let’s talk about our "Murder"..."
I have to say that what this director named Bruce said was really arrogant and unpleasant.
After the video was played, everyone in the carriage could not help but frown.
"What is Eternal Pictures? Is it very powerful?" Zhang Xirou asked with an unhappy look on her face while holding the black cat.
She disliked what this foreigner said very much. If she had never been abroad, she would definitely let this man know why the flowers were so red.
"How should I put it? Although this director is an idiot, Eternal Pictures is indeed very powerful and is the largest film company in Blue Star."
"That's right, all the film and television industry companies in our entire Daxia country combined are not as good as others, so they are not of the same dimension."
"A dominant-level existence! The king in the film industry!"
Lin Manyu, Liang Chi, and even Teacher Chen, who had been extremely tired during this period and had been reluctant to speak, all started to explain at this time.
For those working in the film industry, Eternal Pictures is God.
So even in this situation, they didn't say anything bad about Eternal Pictures.
Therefore, when Lin Zheng refused to cooperate with Eternal Pictures, Robert was so shocked.
Lin Zheng also asked aloud: "Who is this director? Is he famous? And is the IP of "The Killer" very popular?"
Liang Chi obviously knew a lot about these things, and immediately explained: "Director Bruce, he did make a lot of well-received movies before, but then, he got into a car accident because of drunk driving. Although no one died, he still sat there for two years.
After being released from prison, his social image plummeted and he remained silent for several years.
He only started making movies again three years ago, but he still made two blockbusters that grossed over a billion dollars at the box office, so he was spotted by Eternal Pictures and cooperated with him."
Lin Manyu took over the conversation: "As for "The Killer", it was originally a criminal investigation comic from a beautiful country. It was already very popular. There have been three or four versions of the series of movies and TV series, and the results have been very good. Although it is young
Cheng is a bit older, but he can still be considered a world-class IP.
The only shortcoming is that the cases in it are too classic and are familiar to everyone who has read it now. Basically, there is nothing new in the adaptation, and it has only been cold for thirteen years.
As for this time, they added ghosts in it. Although I don’t know what the effect will be, the topic and attention will definitely not be bad.”
The two people spoke eloquently, which is enough to prove how influential Eternal Pictures is.
When Lin Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
The person who came here is not a good person!
He thought Eternal Pictures was simply testing the waters.
But judging from the current configuration, this is definitely not as simple as testing the waters.
The IP of "The Killer" alone may be able to bring a lot of box office revenue to the other party's movie.
Zhang Xirou, who was standing next to her, was still confused at this time. She didn't understand any of this at all, and she didn't even understand what words such as IP meant.
If it were someone else's matter, she wouldn't be interested at all, but the problem is that this is Lin Zheng's matter!
Therefore, she couldn't help but continue to ask: "Then, will it have any bad impact on us?"
At this moment, everyone in the carriage fell silent and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Teacher Chen was the first to speak: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't have any bad effects, and it might even be helpful to us!
After all, Eternal Pictures is an industry giant, and it basically belongs to the kind of existence that can easily generate popularity for a movie theme.
Whatever they filmed, other companies that received the news would also start projects to produce films of the same type.
In Asan Kingdom, there is a company that specifically follows the trend of Eternal Pictures. It has no lower limit and even copies other people's movie titles.
For example, if Eternal Pictures makes "Amazing Robot", they will make "Robo"; if Eternal Pictures makes "Across the Pacific", they will make "Across the Atlantic". Of course, they will not directly plagiarize the plot.
Name and type…
All in all, it's outrageous, but with this kind of operation, their company's movies rarely suffer losses, and many of them make huge profits.
This also shows that the audience doesn't care about these things at all. If Eternal Pictures makes a ghost movie, it might actually increase the attention of our movie.
After all, in this world, we and Eternal Pictures are the only ones making ghost movies.
But the problem is... the current attitude of Eternal Pictures towards us seems to be a little bad for no reason, but I don’t know if this will have any impact."
Lin Manyu frowned and guessed: "It should be okay, after all, Eternal Pictures is such a big company and there is no need to target us.
Maybe it’s just a short period of time? Will there be a new batch of bad reviews for our movie?”
Liang Chi had already taken out his mobile phone and started searching for new news about Eternal Pictures' new "Murder" movie.
After watching it for a while, he couldn't help but said: "It feels like Eternal Pictures seems to attach great importance to "The Killer" and has already started promoting it.
It just so happens that we are about to finish filming "The Ghost Story" and are about to start promoting it. Do we need to... avoid its sharpness?"
"It shouldn't be necessary..." Lin Manyu said.
"But this is Eternal Pictures..." Liang Chi's face showed visible worry.
Everyone fell silent again.
As Liang Chi said, this is Eternal Pictures after all.
When they suddenly encountered such a thing, their moods were a little complicated and they couldn't calm down at all.
At this moment, Lin Zheng patted the car seat in front of him, attracting everyone's attention, and then said: "Don't worry, just like Teacher Chen said, a movie only lasts one or two hours.
It’s impossible for the audience to watch just one movie in one genre.
Moreover, our current main battlefield is, after all, in the Great Xia Kingdom, and we have a backer. If we really can’t do it then, we can just arrange our schedule with them..."
Being suddenly targeted by a behemoth like Eternal Pictures may be a big deal to others, and they are either frightened or terrified.
But for Lin Zheng, this matter was nothing worthy of concern.
He has sufficient confidence in himself.
First of all, behind him stands the mysterious media!
The movies he is shooting now are all in line with Daxia's national policy.
No matter how awesome Eternal Pictures is, it’s still a foreign film, so doesn’t it still have to be submitted to Daxia officials for review?
How can the official go against its own national policy because of you?
Adjusting the schedule can be regarded as the most basic method.
Secondly, the "targeting of the director of Eternal Pictures", although this may make his movie attract a lot of negative fans who have never seen it, but it is also a big advertisement.
If "The Mansion" hadn't been released today, maybe the box office would have been even higher because of that interview!
As for the negative fans and bad reviews that followed, Lin Zheng has really experienced too much and has long been used to it, so it is not worth mentioning at all.
And in the end... Lin Zheng is a time traveler!
What he has in his mind is all the successful ghost movies on the entire planet!
There’s everything!
So... he actually wanted to see what kind of ghost movie Eternal Pictures could come up with.
Lin Zheng wanted to laugh when he thought of the director named Bruce talking so much about "horror" and "thriller".
If these people really make movies like his three previous authentic ghost movies, Blue Star's market will definitely teach them how to behave.
No matter how powerful the publicity resources and configuration are, as long as the content is not good and the audience does not like and accept it, it will eventually fail.
Small fresh meat + big IP, isn't it just a typical example among such types?
To take a step back, even if Eternal Pictures' attempt is really successful.
Then Lin Zheng wouldn't feel depressed at all.
On the contrary, you will be happier!
If we only make comedic ghost movies, except for the Happy Ghost series, the Fierce Ghost series, Lam Ching-ying’s zombie series, and a few other classics.
He really couldn't think of that much for a while.
But if it were a truly orthodox horror film, then the inventory in his mind would be countless.
The previous three films were just tests that had no choice but to be produced due to insufficient costs.
And the ones that have not been released, whether it is "The Grudge", "The Ring", "The Dead Man", or "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "The Shining", "Shadow", "The Conjuring" and so on, any of them
They are all classics that can stand alone.
No matter how awesome and powerful Eternal Pictures is, for them, ghost movies are a new thing that they have never been exposed to before.
They also need to explore and trial and error.
But what Lin Zheng has are all successful experiences and cases!
Maybe there is some genius who can create a very classic movie, but it will definitely not be such that Lin Zheng can't even make a living.
…
When he returned to the hotel, Lin Zheng had completely forgotten about Eternal Pictures.
After saying goodbye to everyone, he went directly to his room, washed up, went to bed, and then turned on the computer.
On the way here, I have been communicating with the crew members to help them stabilize their mentality.
As a result, Lin Zhengdu did not see the box office performance of "Mansion" at the first time.
But it's certainly not too late.
He opened the online theater and went directly to the backstage.
The final box office information of Ghost Mansion will be displayed immediately.
【"Ghost Building"
It has been online for 30 days in online theaters (has been released), and the total box office is 2,36849280 yuan.
That day’s box office——379,860 yuan.]
Of course, that only left a box office of 370,000 yuan on the last day.
It shows that after a month of crazy recommendations, the potential of this movie has basically been exhausted.
If you continue to show movies, you will still get money.
However, online theaters do not want to be just a backup for offline theaters. In order to attract more users and for other reasons, this has always been the rule.
So there is nothing Lin Zheng can do.
But even so, the box office results in front of him are enough to make Lin Zheng excited.
This is a total box office of 230 million.
Even if you subtract the 70 million box office promised by Li Changsheng and others, it is still a total of 160 million!
At 12 yuan per ticket, nearly 20 million people have watched this movie!
Both the box office number and the number of ticket buyers are more than one order of magnitude higher than the previous "Happy Ghost".
At the same time, this is also Lin Zheng’s highest-grossing movie so far!
From the box office share alone, Lin Zheng can get more than 110 million.
A small goal can yield more.
If you share some of it with the crew members, you can keep nearly 100 million!
One hundred million!
Become a billionaire immediately!
Lin Zheng's mouth burst into laughter, and for a while he couldn't even think of how he should spend the money.
But in addition to these, there are also box office points!
And this is the most important thing to him!
With 230 million box office points, even if Lin Zheng has never opened a diamond treasure chest worth 30 million.
You can also purchase 7 pieces at a time!
Each treasure chest can contain 5 high-quality items with a high probability.
That’s a total of 35 good things!
If all were life spans, even if they were only one year, Lin Zheng would be able to live an extra 35 years!
Direct life span freedom, no need to worry about life span anymore!
Lin Zheng glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer. It was already half past twelve in the morning.
Beautiful day begins.
It’s time to draw a lottery to see today’s fortune and luck.
Lin Zhengyi moved his head and directly called up the system panel!
Just do it!
【system】
[Name: Lin Zheng]
【Age:19】
[Skill: 80 years]
[Merit value: 997361]
[Remaining life span: 87 years (actual 8.7 years)]
[Ability: Master Grappling Technique, Crow Flying in a Plane, Death Spell, Tornado Destroying the Parking Lot, Giant Strength Technique, Wave-grabbing Dragon Claw Hand]
[Talent: Masculinity]
[System space: 983 kilograms of glutinous rice, Taoist priest’s giant mahogany sword with four eyes, century-old mahogany sword, forgotten stickers*2, 0.01cm condoms*66, moonflower dew*6, ink fountain]
During this period of time, Lin Zheng has maintained the habit of drawing lucky draws every day.
Sometimes if you are lucky, you can exchange it for a bronze treasure chest. If it is still good, you can exchange it for a silver treasure chest.
Until now, there are only about 100,000 points left.
If it hadn't been for the big mouthful of "Ghost Mansion", in a few days, he might not even be able to get the points of a black iron treasure chest every day.
I can only go back to the days when I used "Original Demon" to check my luck.
Most of the things extracted have a negligible lifespan, or are completely useless garbage.
For example, instant noodles, mineral water, and Boruto, things that would not easily arouse suspicion, he had already taken out.
As for condoms... although they are very common, the size of 0.01 cm is indeed a bit shocking.
At the same time, in order to prevent Zhang Xirou from misunderstanding, he still stayed in the system space.
Finally, another thing that is more eye-catching is the merit points provided to others after they practice the exercises.
Lin Zheng didn't know why his merit value increased so quickly.
In less than two months, it will be over one million.
However, these merit points are all benefits to him, so naturally the more the better.
Lin Zheng didn't worry too much.
His eyes scanned the entire system panel, and finally stopped at the box office points column.
"Let's replace the seven diamond treasure chests first!"
Lin is a very straightforward person, he didn't hesitate for a moment, and as soon as he had an idea, 230 million box office points disappeared immediately.
It turned into seven shining diamond treasure chests and lay quietly in his system space.
There are only the last 6,939,395 yuan left on the system panel.
In order to leave himself the capital to test his luck in the future, he kept the nearly seven million points.
Of course, he had to be wealthy. If it had been before, he would have had to exchange two more gold treasure chests for it.
"First open a black iron treasure chest to try your hand. If you are lucky, just try a diamond!
If it doesn’t work, just wait and open it slowly later, since these treasure chests can’t escape anyway.”
Lin Zheng was thinking to himself, and then immediately exchanged it for a black iron treasure box.
[Congratulations, you got from the black iron treasure chest: life span 200 days (omitted)]
"Awesome!"
Lin Zheng regained his composure and sat up from the bed. As soon as an idea occurred to him, an extremely gorgeous treasure chest, studded with diamonds on the surface, appeared in the palm of his hand.
Looking at the diamonds inlaid on the treasure chest, Lin Zheng only hated that these things were not physical and that they lasted an entire hour once opened.
If not, he might be able to make a lot of money just by selling short boxes now.
"Hiss...hoo..."
Since it was his first time to open a diamond treasure chest, Lin Zheng was naturally a little excited.
He took a deep breath and was silent for a few seconds before finally mentally preparing himself.
"open!"
With a soft drink, the treasure box in his hand disappeared instantly, and then a series of system prompts jumped out from before his eyes.
[Congratulations, you got 1: Zombie Suppression Talisman from the diamond treasure chest: Order the General to Come Here (In the zombie series of movies, the talisman used by Lin Zhengying can suppress zombies and make them unable to move. Drawn by those with profound skills, it can even suppress the human body.
!)]
Two in one, a 6,000-word chapter!
By the way, the faith value rewarded by teaching the skills has been changed to the merit value.
