Now, whether it is a box office forecasting agency or the producer and distributor of "Psychological Crime", their expectations for the box office of the movie are only based on 500 million yuan.

Because the subject matter restrictions are too great, there are no more than 500 million films of the same type, and the audience prefers Hollywood blockbusters and domestic comedy movies!

Many people think that gunfight movies, spy movies, and police and gangster movies are nothing good. If you want to watch them, you can watch them on video websites or TV set-top boxes after they are released. There is no need to spend money to go to the cinema.

There are many people who have this idea. Just look at the box office rankings of historical movies. Most of them are movies that make people laugh easily, even if they have a bad reputation.

It is very difficult to survive in a good movie, and the phenomenon of being well received but not being popular will occur in every schedule.

Zhang Chu knew that Maoyan Movie's prediction was only 480 million yuan, which was based on the top directors, top actors, and top publishers, otherwise it would be only 200 to 300 million yuan.

He actually didn't know why he had such great confidence. After all, the readership of "Psychological Sin" is actually not large. Compared with "Su Shen Ji", "The Legend of Wukong", it is much worse than "The Legend of Ghosts", let alone "Ghost Blows Out the Light"!

So in the face of Tu Qiwei's inquiry, Zhang Chu could only smile mysteriously and did not respond much.

Fortunately, at this time, Director Xu Ji, who was still strong, walked in in a Tang suit and focused the focus of the scene on him alone, which made Zhang Chu feel a little relieved.

After the director appeared, several actors appeared one after another, and reporters on the red carpet also moved to the auditorium, and the premiere was about to begin.

Zhang Chu sat in the center of the second row, and both sides were considered the behind-the-scenes production team of the program team. These people had almost no response to the premiere, but Zhang Chu endured his curiosity and looked at the two leading actors on the stage.

Liao Chao dressed very handsome today, full of masculine and mature male aura, which made the female fans in the back row scream frequently.

However, the interaction between these programs made Zhang Chu yawn a little. He originally thought that the premiere was to answer questions from reporters and audiences after watching the movie, but he didn't expect that there were various processes.

"It's quite boring, right?" Jiang Hua, the deputy director of the crew, muttered in a low voice. The rough man in his thirties had a thick beard and could hardly see what his face looked like.

Zhang Chushen nodded with approval, "What is the significance of these activities?"

"It's probably on the online live broadcast. It is said that the online live broadcast rights for the premiere were sold for 1 million yuan, and they can make money in anything."

This surprised Zhang Chu a little. He thought that Tencent Video was a cooperative relationship, but he didn't expect that he would have to charge money!

He was so happy to make money because he received dividends, although the 1 million yuan would not be given to him at all.

The agreement signed by Zhang Chu only has box office dividends, and the rest of the income is not included.

Jiang Hua is also familiar with him. In fact, he doesn't know Zhang Chu at all. He has never talked about him before. Now he is like a chattering chat: "I tell you, our Director Xu praises you if you have anything to do on the set, which makes us very familiar with the name Zhang Chu. You kid are so good at writing books. I heard that they are sold to Hollywood, right?"

"Yes, no domestic film company is willing to ask for it, so it can only be handed over to Hollywood films." Zhang Chu said helplessly. The special situation of "Pi" is here, and domestic companies are free of profits and cannot get up early.

"I may have to go out to work alone this year. Then I will come to you to buy copyright cooperation. I wonder if I am welcome?"

Jiang Hua has been serving as Xu Ji's deputy director for a long time. Now Xu Ji only makes a movie every two years, so he obviously plans to become a master!

With Xu Ji's connections, it is not too difficult for Jiang Hua to find a small and medium-sized investment film to be a director. After practicing with this type of work, he then moves towards big productions.

This is the advanced route for most directors. It is almost impossible to become fat in one go, unless they have connections or their own resources, or they become scapegoats for bad movies.

Zhang Chu became curious, "The copyrights of the works I have sold are almost the same. Which one do you like?"

"The Legend of Wukong, this book shouldn't have been sold, right?" Jiang Hua was prepared for a long time. He had no hope of getting the copyright of "Ghost Blows Out the Light". "Su Shen Ji" seems to be as grand as shooting a TV series, and the movie can't accommodate anything in it.

"The Legend of Wukong? Are you sure you want to shoot it?" Zhang Chu showed a strange look. The film and television adaptation of this work is too difficult. Even if the author Jin He was the screenwriter of "The Legend of Wukong" in his previous life, he would not be able to film it!

Jiang Hua rubbed his hands, and didn't care about the rest of the people around him, and said directly: "Of course, but I don't have the money to buy your copyright now. You don't know that your copyright fee is spread all over the industry now. It is said that if you don't have to do it, you will be asked to get box office dividends if you do it."

Zhang Chu did not make any excuses, "bbc and Warner Brothers have all received dividends, why don't the rest of the companies give?"

However, the film and television adaptation of "The Legend of Wukong" is too difficult, and the plot of the whole work is relatively scattered. If it really follows the plot, it will definitely take more than six hours to film.

If you only shoot one of the plots, it would be too fragmentary!

In addition, readers like the dialogues in the biography of Wukong, but if you put these dialogues in the movie, the long dialogue between Wukong and Zixia in the Peach Garden will probably take a few minutes, and the pace will be extremely slow.

If you consider the sequel, you can divide the Jokuni into a trilogy and talk about it slowly. This way, there are more exciting content left, but the front line is too long.

If you don’t consider the sequel, there are very few things to keep, and unnecessary things must be deleted!

Zhang Chu really dared not hand it over to a fledgling person for such a difficult film and television adaptation. He had never even taken charge of the director's microphone and wanted to adapt "The Legend of Wukong". The risk factor is too high.

So he shook his head and said, "It is too difficult to adapt "The Legend of Wukong". Unless I give it to me a complete script, I will not sell the right to adapt the film and television to any company!"

If you are destined to shoot bad movies, it is better not to shoot them, leaving a obsession and beauty in the minds of readers, so that you will not be defeated by bad movies.

Jiang Hua was a little surprised, "Wait, I'm not just making a fuss, but I really want to make this movie. Actually, I've read you repeatedly in the past two days, and now I have a vague idea."

"If you have any ideas, send the script to my email in two days. If the script is good, I can sell it to you cheaply, and I can even give you some investment!"
