The five songs for Luo Cheng can only be written in his spare time.

Fortunately, two months is abundant, Sun Peng doesn't have to be too anxious, and as the start date of "Hero" is getting closer and closer, he is not as busy as before - everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and Sima Gang, a senior producer, is not idle.

So when he has time, Sun Peng will pick up the score and care about the box office of "Avenger".

A month after its release, the box office of "Avenger" exceeded 1.5 billion.

Of course, it's just the domestic box office.

At the same time, in more than 20 countries released overseas, with Xue Ligang's fame accumulated with two "Hurricane Rescue", as well as the same refreshing plot and action design of "Avenger", it also won more than 80 million US dollars. Among them, the Americans alone contributed 34 million dollars to the film!

Such a figure is undoubtedly a huge success.

Therefore, as more and more countries negotiate distribution contracts, after the news is released, the box office estimates of major box office prediction agencies for this "Avenger" have risen to 400 million US dollars!

"Tsk, this is the power of Huaxia!"

When Sun Peng saw this news from the Internet, he couldn't help but smile happily on his face.

"Avenger" on the earth does not have such good results. You must know that although the North American box office has exceeded 100 million, the overseas box office of this film is only about 100 million US dollars, and the combined box office of 200 million is only half of this world - and the key to this is naturally more than 200 million in China!

With the huge market in China, Sun Peng is almost invincible.

So when Song Qun brought him a phone and wanted to ask him to meet, Sun Peng asked with a smile without thinking about it: "Brother Song, you definitely didn't want to thank me for the script, you should want to discuss the next one with me, right?" ”

"Uh...... Ha ha. ”

After laughing dryly, Song Qun said slightly embarrassedly: "That's right, it does mean this." After all, the global box office is likely to be close to 400 million, but our production costs plus publicity and distribution costs are only 300 million or 400 million Chinese coins, who doesn't want to do the business that has earned several times? ”

The original publicity and distribution cost of "The Avenger" was only tens of millions.

But the box office results after the release were unexpected by the distributor - in fact, it was not too surprising, after all, Lao Bai's movie box office explosion was also the norm, so it urgently increased publicity efforts and doubled the publicity funds in North America, Europe and other places, which raised the publicity cost to more than 200 million.

The publicity and distribution cost is twice as high as the production cost, which is quite powerful.

However, Sun Peng was not interested in making the sequel script of "Avenger", so he shook his head very dryly: "I'm sorry, Brother Song, I'm not interested in the sequel script." If they want to do it, let people talk to my second sister, as long as I don't mind selling all the rights! ”

With the experience of Hurricane Rescue and The Matrix, Sun Peng has no obstacles to selling the rights to the sequel.

Song Qun, who collaborated with Sun Peng once in "League of Assassins", was not surprised by his answer at all, but after hesitating for a moment, he continued to smile and said, "I really don't plan to write it?" You must know that there are fifteen points in this box office, five or six million dollars...... And I asked before I called you, and they said that as long as you are willing to continue writing the script, this time the share ratio can be increased to 20%! If the sequel is higher at the box office, it will be nearly $100 million in shares! ”

When he said these words, Song Qun's voice trembled a little.

As one of the two directors of "The Avenger", Song Qun's salary for filming is 5 million Chinese coins, plus a 1% box office share. And this is still based on the premise that the two of them have got Lao Bai's script and have the qualifications to select investors! But even so, the money earned with this movie made Song Qun and the two of them almost go crazy with excitement!

But the share that Lao Bai can get is tens of millions of dollars!

Fifteen points, an absolute insane proportion.

In fact, as a screenwriter, Song Qun would never have thought of a second one except Lao Bai, which is almost the standard of the world's top directors or super-first-line Hollywood superstars!

Except for Liang Ren, there is no filmmaker in China who has this treatment.

So when Song Qun and Sun Peng talked about the final number, the whole person was in a very delicate state, his scalp was numb, his lips were dry, and his heart was pounding like a little rabbit......

"Hehe, I'm not short of money!"

Unmoved, Sun Peng smiled faintly and said, "And I can't write this kind of small and big film every time?" Look at the heroes I want to shoot myself, and now the cost has piled up to $100 million! ”

The cost of the original version is more than 50 million US dollars, and in this world because the labor costs of Huaxia are low, especially the salary of the leading actor is several times lower, it is only more than 20 million, plus the publicity and distribution costs are about the same. But how much can Sun Peng come up with such a movie?

And......

Slowly, Sun Peng has little interest in this type of movie.

That's right, in his opinion, transporting a movie like "The Avenger" is completely a trick, and it doesn't have much meaning except to make money. The filming of the Tomb and Han Bo series can promote the development of Chinese fantasy and adventure films; In the future, he will write the script of "Terminator 2", which is undoubtedly a sci-fi blockbuster in China, that is, "Hero" directed by himself, which can not only make martial arts movies go further, but also have the meaning of extending the life of Chinese costume blockbusters......

And no matter which one it is, it has very big requirements for special effects.

To put it bluntly, Sun Peng hopes to use the super big production brought from the earth to make Chinese films pay more attention to special effects and the role of big scenes. He hopes that Huaxia will have more of its own super blockbusters, have a stronger and stronger influence overseas, and one day be able to sit on an equal footing with Hollywood, or even replace it!

But "The Avenger" has a hairy meaning?

As for the tens of millions or even 100 million dollars that Song Qun said, Sun Peng will not care even more. For a person who is "unambitious", has no interest in investing and is not interested in spending money, the money on his stomach is enough for Sun Peng to spend several lifetimes, so 100 million US dollars is just a number.

So before Song Qun could say anything, Sun Peng had already shook his head and smiled: "Okay, Brother Song, my side of "Hero" is about to start, and I really don't have time to think about other things." Again, if you want to make a sequel, go to my agent and talk about copyright......"

……

"Hehe, every time."

After hanging up Song Qun's phone, Sun Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The copyright is definitely sellable, and he is not interested in making a sequel, which does not mean that Sun Peng is unwilling to hand over this power. After all, the filmmakers in this world are also very good, who can guarantee that they can't make a better sequel?

However, Sun Ya's level was not so easy.

The better the box office performance of the movie, the more valuable this IP is, and now Sun Ya, who has a team, will definitely not let go of those capitalists easily, and wants copyright? No problem, just throw the money at it!

"Buzz ......"

Just as Sun Peng shook his head and was about to continue picking up the score, the phone vibrated again.

picked it up and connected the phone, and Sun Peng heard Chen Fengzhi's voice coming: "Boss, do you have time tomorrow?" If I have time, I will come to the studio and discuss some things with you......"
