Chapter 308 What’s the Next Movie?

In fact, Wang Mo and Yuan Xiong had discussed how to return to the entertainment industry several times before today.

But neither side came up with a good solution.

Due to Wang Mo's special status, he was once a popular figure in the entertainment industry, but due to special reasons, his career collapsed overnight. Therefore, everyone can imagine that it is difficult to return to the entertainment industry.

If you are not careful, the car may overturn.

So how can we find a way to make a comeback that is recognized by the audience but will not offend everyone? How can the public accept him again? How can he avoid being destroyed by public opinion after his comeback?

At least, Yuan Xiong was still at a loss before this.

"Take your time, there's always a way."

These were Yuan Xiong's words of comfort to Wang Mo.

At worst, boil the frog in warm water.

Starting from the smallest announcement, Wang Mo appeared in front of the public step by step.

The advantage of this method is that it is safe and will not cause any major problems. Even if there are problems, the company can solve them.

The disadvantage is that the timeline is very long. In order for Wang Mo to become a top player again, I don't know how long it will take until the year of the monkey, and he may not even be able to return to the top.

And this method is shocking every step of the way.

This was unacceptable to Wang Mo.

Life is all about being free and unrestrained. If you come back and live a humble life like a coward, it's better not to come back.

If you make a comeback, you have to live a more dazzling life than before the collapse of the house to make a comeback meaningful!

"Then it's settled!"

Wang Mo made a decision in his heart.

In two days, I will hand over this variety show to Tomato Channel, and then I will participate in the show again and start my comeback plan.

this way.

That's what he is most satisfied with.

I sat there thinking for almost half an hour.

Wang Mo then regained his concentration and fixed his gaze on the reward of the last golden treasure chest.

""effort"!"

He turned over the name of the movie several times before watching it, and then his face showed some excitement.

The movie "Kung Fu"!

It is no exaggeration to say that this movie ranks among the top three classics among all the movies he has seen in his previous life.

How many times has he seen this movie?

Can not remember.

At least thirty or forty times.

How familiar is Wang Mo with movies? He was so familiar with it that he could easily tell the colors of the few things that floated out when the charterer hit the billboard!

"I actually got this movie. The system is awesome."

Wang Mo nodded secretly.

If "Fist of Heroes" is a textbook in kung fu movies, it has achieved the ultimate in kung fu movies. Then "Kung Fu" is another extreme in Kung Fu movies.

The ultimate in humor.

The ultimate in special effects.

The ultimate in smoothness.

Extremely touching.

The ultimate in nonsensical style.

There are so many extremes that this movie has almost no shortcomings in Wang Mo's mind.

He reviewed the plot of the movie "Kung Fu" again in his mind, and even though he had watched it dozens of times, he still watched it with gusto.

The charm of this movie is that you can start watching it from any point in the movie and still instantly fall into the plot, and watch it with relish without feeling any jerky.

…

That afternoon, Yuan Xiong found Wang Mo and said that the film and television department was planning to hold a celebration party for the success of "Fist of Heroes" and invited him to attend.

After all, the box office of "Fist of Heroes" has now exceeded one billion, and miracles are still happening every day.

It would be outrageous for a movie like this to not even have a celebration party.

As the screenwriter of the movie, Wang Mo is certainly among those invited.

The celebration party was held in a huge reception room in the company that can accommodate two to three hundred people.

Not to mention flowers, balloons, fireworks and the like.

In the middle of the celebration party, Lin Juemin, the head of the film and television department, gave a speech. With a sour heart but still a smile on his face, he looked at Wang Mo and said: "Xiao Wang, "Fist of Heroes" is a movie planned by you. Really. I didn’t expect that your talent in screenwriting is so terrifying. Have you made any plans for your next movie?”

Hearing Lin Juemin's words.

Uh-huh!

The noisy voices in the audience immediately disappeared, and everyone looked at Wang Mo with curiosity and expectation.

This is also their concern.

Especially the cast members of "Fist of Heroes" held their breaths one by one, wondering if Wang Mo had any plans to make a second movie. If there is, they will have to find a way to get a role in the movie after taking advantage of it.

If Wang Mo heard this question a day ago, he would definitely shake his head.

But at this moment, he smiled and said: "Yes."

have!

Wow~~~The silent hall suddenly became noisy again.

"Wow, it really does."

"I can't miss this time."

"I must fight for a role, even if I play a dog."

"No one can rob me!"

"..."

Many people's eyes suddenly became intense.

Lin Juemin was a little surprised. He originally thought Wang Mo would shake his head. After all, "Fist of Heroes" had only been released not long ago. Under normal circumstances, the next movie would have to take at least a few months to take shape, right?

Unexpectedly, Wang Mo actually said yes.

He quickly asked: "Then what are you planning to make in your next movie?"

Wang Mo didn’t sell it off: “If nothing else, it’s still a kung fu movie.”

Yes.

Isn't "Kung Fu" just a kung fu movie?

However, when he heard his words, Lin Juemin was stunned, but soon he felt it was natural: Yes, "Fist of Heroes" was so well done, what would Wang Mo make if he didn't make a kung fu movie in his next movie? Definitely want to continue in this genre to get the most benefit.

In particular, the ending of "Fist of Heroes" is an open ending, which makes people daydream about it.

What kind of exciting stories will Chen Zhen have after going to Northeast China? What kind of interactions will there be with the Fuso people there? How will the Mizong Fist he just learned perform?

These are all places that movie fans are curious about.

So keep lining up, there will be plenty of content to shoot.

Such a big IP is worth at least 2 billion in Lin Juemin's opinion.

In the next ten years, if we do not produce series such as "Fist of Heroes 2", 3, 4, 5... etc., we will exhaust the reputation and sentiments of fans, and we will not give up.

Thinking of this, Lin Juemin smiled and said: "When will the filming of "Fist of Heroes 2" start? The scandal comes first. This time the company cannot let you occupy the majority of the investment. It can only allow you to account for 50% at most."

However.

The next second he was stunned.

Because Wang Mo shook his head and said: "Instead of making "Fist of Heroes 2", I will not continue to film this IP. I plan to make another kung fu movie, which has nothing to do with "Fist of Heroes"."

? ? ?

Lin Juemin thought he heard wrongly.

Isn't it?

"Fist of Heroes" is a big IP worth billions. Why don't you, Wang Mo, just say you don't want it?

I also plan to make another Kung Fu movie.

Confused!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Fist of Heroes" has brought kung fu movies to a peak. If anyone wants to make a kung fu movie in the future, it will probably be difficult to surpass this classic.

So when Wang Mo went to make another kung fu movie, Lin Juemin was 99% sure that it would not be as good as "Fist of Heroes".

This is typical thankless work.

Not only Lin Juemin, but other colleagues around him were also talking about it.

"Don't make a sequel? Now we can make a lot of money by making a sequel, okay?"

"Yes, for such a classic IP as "Fist of Heroes", not making a sequel would be a waste."

"I'm sure that if a sequel is made, the box office of the second part will definitely not be less than 3 billion based on the classicness of "Fist of Heroes"."

"That's right, who doesn't have a second or third movie for a good movie now? Even the box office of the later movies is basically higher than the first movie."

"Mr. Wang is confused."

"Mr. Wang is too young."

"He may want to further push the limits, but "Fist of Heroes" is already at its peak, and it is impossible to break through this peak again. Doing so will most likely make a movie that is nothing under pressure, and then the reputation will be lost. Collapse.”

"..."

Although these discussions were quiet, Wang Mo's ears were sensitive and he could hear them clearly.

He smiled but said nothing.

Make a sequel, make a sequel to Mao.

He couldn't take a picture.

It was Lin Juemin's words that woke him up.

Yes, although I will not make a sequel to "Fist of Heroes", this movie is definitely a big IP. If you don’t know how to take pictures yourself, why don’t you know how to sell them to companies?

Think of this.

Wang Mo felt that he had found another opportunity to make a fortune.

He looked at Lin Juemin, his eyes glowing green, feeling that Mr. Lin was his lucky star. If it weren't for the other party, I would never have thought of coming here.

Lin Juemin felt Wang Mo's eyes and shuddered subconsciously.

I always felt that Wang Mo's look in his eyes made him look like the wronged person.

But soon he found that he was overthinking it.

Because Wang Mo said: "Mr. Lin, I really don't plan to make a sequel to "Fist of Heroes". If the company wants to make it, I can sell this IP to the company. What do you think?"

"real?"

Lin Juemin's eyes immediately lit up, and he was so excited that he held Wang Mo's hands.

Hahaha!

I guess Wang Mo has a conscience.

In fact, after "Fist of Heroes" exploded at the box office, he had long been interested in buying the IP back from Wang Mo. But he knew that it was not easy to talk about this matter. After all, the subsequent IP of "Fist of Heroes" was too valuable and Wang Mo could not sell it easily. If he opened this mouth, it would make Wang Mo unhappy.

Unexpectedly, Wang Mo actually wanted to sell it.

This world-shaking wealth was finally his turn.

As long as the IP is bought back, Lin Juemin believes that the hundreds of millions he gave away before will be nothing.

Use your merits to atone for your sins.

He quickly asked: "Xiao Wang, how much money do you want to completely sell the copyright of "Fist of Heroes" to the company?"

Wang Mo thought for a while: "About 500 million."

Lin Juemin was surprised. He didn't expect that Wang Mo only wanted 500 million.

He originally thought that for a big IP like "Fist of Heroes", Wang Mo would ask for a price of at least one billion before he would sell it.

In fact, Wang Mo also knew that the price of 500 million to sell the subsequent IP copyright of "Fist of Heroes" was on the low side.

But he still quoted the price.

Wang Mo has his own reasons:

First of all, this movie can make him 500 million, which is indeed thanks to the company, otherwise he would not be able to make a movie at all.

Secondly, he doesn't know what the sequel to "Fist of Heroes" will be like. If it fails at the box office, it will be equivalent to cheating the company again. It's okay to cheat him once or twice, but if he keeps cheating, the top management may have other ideas about him.

Again, this IP fee was a complete windfall, and the price of 500 million was completely beyond his imagination. Any more would seem unsatisfactory.

Therefore, he made an offer of 500 million.

Of course, Lin Juemin was full of surprises about this price: "Xiao Wang, I know that you suffered a big loss with this price. I also know that you gave this price because of the company's face. The company will definitely remember your thoughts. .Come, I'll toast you three glasses first, then I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

Finished.

Lin Juemin drank three glasses of white wine in a row, his face turned red.

After a while, he calmed down his excitement and asked the last question: "Xiao Wang, have you thought about the title of your next movie?"

"Think about it."

"what is it call?"

"It's called Kung Fu."
