China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 557 "Special Mobile Team"

Yan Xiaoyue looked at Chen Jingxing with a little surprise expression: "It sounds like this is a brand new story."

"Of course, if it weren't for a new story, I might not have set up a project. The movieization of animated IP is not simple."

Chen Jingxing smiled and said, "What I just told you is a general story. The script discovered some problems when the project approval review committee passed the review. It is still being revised and improved. However, the training needs to start as soon as possible. Can the schedule be adjusted?"

Yan Xiaoyue glared at him: "I'm asking, knowingly, right? I've been preparing for it for half a year. I even pushed "Geese Falling and Striving Mountains and Rivers" and I also pushed "Brother Running" invites me. Now there are no more idle people in the entertainment industry. If I go down like this, fans will send blades to Mr. Lin and my agent in the studio."

"The show "Brother Ben" has passed its peak period long ago, and with the guests' blood exchange, you are not a variety show star, and you are not short of fame and fans. If you go, you will suck blood, damage your screen image and future value.

Not to mention Gu Ou, you are not the fairy sister who is a floppy movie department. No matter how big the IP is, you are Gu Ou. Are you really afraid that your fans will fight online if you pick it up?"

When Chen Jingxing teased Sister Tianxian, Yan Xiaoyue had a smile on her eyebrows and eyes.

The hottest topic in the circle is not the Spring Festival battle that has ended long ago, nor is it the first zombie-themed movie "The Walking World: Resident Evil" jointly invested by DreamWorks and Global.

Although there are some cuts in the version released in the mainland, "Biochemistry" also won 1.06 billion yuan in box office with its zombie fever and the IP of "The Walking Dead", and the global box office exceeded 400 million US dollars.

DreamWorks has always had a lot of bargaining power for actors. Yan Xiaoyue received a total of more than 50 million yuan in the three movies of "Matrix", which can be said to be quite cheap for a movie series like "Matrix".

"Mulan".

A total of 50 million yuan in salary plus 60 million yuan in dividends can also get a total of hundreds of millions of returns. Don’t think it’s high. These are three movies, and the total box office exceeds 3 billion US dollars, and other first science fiction movie series with more than one billion US dollars in revenue.

"You can't watch the total amount, you have to watch the average episode? I heard that this drama seems to be divided into two parts, with a total of 80 episodes. The average episode is only 1.5 million. Do you still think it's so high?

I have always valued scripts very much, but you don’t know that you are not afraid of having a good meal. After tomorrow, will your jade rabbits be proud?"

However, Chen Jingxing was shocked and knew that this was not an ordinary ancient puppet.

Although his movies have been a lot of trouble, their blood is too thick, their national popularity is too high, and their appearance is too good, so they can make a comeback no matter how long they play.

However, Yan Xiaoyue has been silent in the past six months since the release of "Matrix III". Of course, she still has top resources for commercial endorsements and fashion covers, but she has basically never shown her variety show and has not answered any film appointments, which gives people a very low-key feeling.

However, hard work pays off, Yan Xiaoyue still waited for the project she was thinking about, and the live-action movie version of the heroine's "Special Mobile Team" has entered the project establishment process.

Of course DreamWorks is not Grandet, and they also signed dividend agreements with the actors. However, they cannot be compared with Hollywood dividends. They are not dividends at the box office, but dividends in profits, and the total proportion is only 5%.

I was a little puzzled about Lu Hongzhe taking on this ancient puppet before, but now Chen Jingxing understands it.

Yan Xiaoyue had 120 million, and the two of them had to double or even stop.

Yutu is Yan Xiaoyue's fan name, and she is more capable of playing among all Xiaohua's fans. After all, she is also a super first-tier movie actress with a box office of more than US$3 billion in three episodes. Compared with other actresses, she is completely out of stock.

The gimmick is absolutely shocking to put the male and female protagonists of the matrix together to star in an ancient puppet.

However, "Mulan" is indeed successful, not only has a bad reputation, but also has a bad box office. In addition to winning 170 million yuan on the first day, it started to dive from the next day.

With other copyright incomes such as DVD, Internet, TV, etc., DreamWorks and Global have made a good start in the film development of "The Walking Dead", a globally popular IP.

It is estimated that the global box office may be only US$300 million, which is a failure for a blockbuster with a cost of US$200 million. Even if copyright is added, the profits in the surrounding areas will definitely be a loss-making deal.

"Hmm, 120 million."

Over the past few months, the unbearable fans have voiced their inaction to criticize the studio.

With the blessing of this movie, it would be strange if Yan Xiaoyue didn't regard the fairy as a competitor.

If it were Hollywood, after the first movie was successful, the male and female starring in the second movie would be able to offer a price of 10 million US dollars. If the third movie was not paid 20 million US dollars and box office dividends, it would definitely not be able to get it.

In addition, both of them have the character of Dao Madan, so they are definitely competitors in some resources.

"The Grey Falls and Walks the Mountains and Rivers" was jointly invested by Tianrun Film and Penguin Video. It is adapted based on the IP of the well-known novel. Not to mention it, the most important thing is that the producer is quite ambitious.

However, Chen Jingxing only knew that the producer did invite the two first-line actors he picked up with his own hands, but Lu Hongzhe took it, but Yan Xiaoyue refused, of course, which was closely related to her fans' strong opposition.

Since Liu Shishi took over the new DreamWorks drama "Elysium", which has been filmed, which has been in a highly confidential state, the momentum has also risen sharply.

Accompanied by overwhelming complaints, "Mulan" released on May Day won a total of 480 million yuan in more than half a month. It only received more than 20 million yuan on the first day of its release in the North American market. It was 40 million yuan on the first weekend, and the box office trend was like a diaper, and it was difficult to break 100 million yuan.

But it is already late May, and the hottest topics are now centered around some blockbusters.

Her eyebrows and eyes were curved and she replied with some resentment: "I know, I'm so calloused that I hear you. Of course I understand the truth, but you have never seen their offer. The pay I received in the three "Matrix" is not as good as half of the offer. At that time, my agent called them and she was going to object, but she was knocked out."

This is indeed a big deal. It is obviously not money laundering, but real pay for Yan Xiaoyue.

If the total account is settled, Yan Xiaoyue will have at least 60 million in dividends in the past few years and in the future.

Fans are proud of their idols joining the group seamlessly. Since the completion of "Matrix III", Yan Xiaoyue has never joined the group again and rarely appears in variety shows. Those who don't know about it would think she has had a half-time movie.

Not to mention that "Mulan" is definitely an international IP. No matter what reputation Disney's princess films are, they are very good at box office.

The project was proclaimed to regroup the matrix CP of Yan Xiaoyue and Lu Hongzhe. Although the "Matrix" trilogy cannot be said to have successfully created a great love story, the CP of Lu Hongzhe and Yan Xiaoyue are also well-known at home and abroad and are well-known to everyone.

Many times, fans are more concerned about their careers than the main ones, so although they are happy about "Mulan" by Tianxian Sister, they are also quite worried about Yan Xiaoyue's strange quietness.

Although they are not the same, they are also the heroine. At present, there is no second actress in China who can compare with her in terms of commercial performance. Although Wu Yue can also compare with Yan Xiaoyue with "Central of Earth" and "Mars", he is the Qingyi route after all, and he is not the same competitor as Yan Xiaoyue in terms of age and style.

The most worthy of talking about is naturally the fairy sister who plays Mulan.

However, when it comes to his own stingy in paying for his films, Chen Jingxing, as a qualified capitalist, could only ignore Yan Xiaoyue's resentment and pretend to change the topic as if nothing had happened.

Chen Jingxing put the tripe from the bowl into his mouth and chewed it, saying, "If you don't eat it, it's gone. This may be your last delicacy this year."

In addition to the male lead Chen Kun, Yuan Shin and Ni Ni both have a great reputation, and their performances in "Interstellar" are also remarkable.

But more and more actresses have also taken up DreamWorks cars this year.

Even if two CP fans like this handsome man and beautiful woman to partner with the ancient puppet again, the fans are obviously clear-headed and think that their main players are both first-line movie stars, they are not very old and have a bright future. Even if they want to film ancient puppets, they should not film at this time.

However, Yan Xiaoyue is still very concerned about the release of "Mulan" this year.

The one who is most excited about this is naturally the extremely fans of other domestic actresses.

After all, there must be a fairy on the list of domestic actresses who can threaten Yan Xiaoyue.

Chen Jingxing was a little surprised: "Is it so exaggerated? That's no more than 100 million?"

Yan Xiaoyue snorted, but her body was honest. She picked up chopsticks and picked up dishes from the steaming hot pot. After all, DreamWorks' movie training and shooting took at least half a year, or even longer. The heroine of "Special Mobile Team" does not have to have a low body shape. She is afraid that she should not think about the hot pot after today.

Of course, the reason why Mickey Mouse has high hopes is not only that "Mulan" is a movie with Chinese faces, but also related to the fact that the movie has gathered many Chinese stars.

It also made Yan Xiaoyue feel heart-to-heart. Although in terms of character adaptability, she felt that she was the most suitable, with a suitable age, a suitable appearance, and a sufficient level of action scenes.

Chen Jingxing was speechless for a moment.

Among the younger generation of actresses, there are not many who are truly capable of filming scenes. Good action scenes cannot be made by stand-in-ones. Special effects and editing can be made. There is a huge difference between whether actors can play the final presentation of the action scenes.

Although the filmed "Preface to Earth: Overture" has not been aired yet, it is said that Wan Qian's performance is quite impressive in it.

The highlight of Disney's live-action princess, which was completed at the end of 2018, chose May Day to be released in China in advance, which was half a month earlier than North America. It also shows Mickey Mouse's high hopes for China in terms of the commercial prospects of this movie.

Yan Xiaoyue is naturally one of them.

The pay for an ancient puppet is achieved.

In recent years, she believes that her biggest advantage is not only the heroine of "Matrix", but also the identity of Dao Madan.

When "Mulan" was cast in the second half of 2017, many domestic actresses participated in the casting, but Yan Xiaoyue was an exception. After all, "Matrix I" was released in the 2016 National Day holiday, so she naturally did not jealous of the opportunity of "Mulan".

As we all know, CP fans are temporary, and only fans are the final stable state.

Yan Xiaoyue is under a lot of pressure, just like "Matrix". Who knows which work can make a flower actress reach the top in one go?

The character he wanted was finally obtained, and Yan Xiaoyue also invited director Chen Da, who had just finished filming "1951", to have a feast at a well-known hotpot restaurant near DreamWorks headquarters.

Director Chen, who is about to go to the Magic City as the chairman of the film festival jury, generously took time to get together with his old friends for a long time.

After all, it was a few years ago since the last time the two of them had dinner. Chen Jingxing rose too quickly. There are really not many people in the film and television industry who can communicate with him as friends.
