"But there will be many problems in this way!" Jon Landau shook his head and said, "There are so many plots in the first movie, and I'm afraid that a movie will last more than 150 minutes!"

"Not enough, give him 180 minutes. Just like the first part of the Lord of the Rings, we will give him three hours!" said Boss Jia.

"Three hours!" Jon Landau hesitated even more.

Based on the long-term experience of the US film market, for a movie, two hours is a perfect time. If it is more than this time, many problems will arise.

For example, the audience's attention is reduced, impatient, unable to withstand the length of the plot, and the number of screenings will be reduced every day, and the ticket price will be higher, which will lead to a decrease in willingness to buy movie tickets.

Therefore, the industry generally sets the length of a movie to about 120 minutes, and rarely does the movie exceed this time.

Either I don’t expect this movie to make money, I just want to make art films of the movie I want to make.

There is also a big production that is extremely confident in movies and can make money even in three hours.

For example, "Titanic", "Lord of the Rings Series", etc., these movies are more than three hours.

However, because Titanic is supported by the top international directors, the Lord of the Rings series has fantasy classics that are popular all over the world. Those are confident when they sell for three hours.

Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms itself is also epic, it is from China after all, and it is not highly accepted in the world market, or it is not famous at all. It would be too dangerous to sell such a movie for three hours.

"It's only three hours, even if you lose money, it doesn't matter!" Boss Jia smiled.

To be honest, Boss Jia actually has no confidence in this movie, because it is a movie without any reference in his previous life. It is a completely original new movie born in the hands of Boss Jia of this era.

Therefore, Boss Jia cannot be so sure of the final box office of the movie like the Titanic and the Lord of the Rings. He even feels that the first movie of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is likely to end with a final failure. After all, the box office of Chinese movies in the United States has always been like this, which is a cultural issue.

However, Boss Jia still decided to spend three hours. The reason is very simple, because Boss Jia wants to make this movie a fine product. Even if the movie suffers huge losses, it must be a fine product.

Because only high-quality products can make the audience remember that even after the movie is released, it can sell DVDs to make the movie appear in the world of all Americans.

At the same time, there is another truth in this world, that is, as long as a movie is excellent enough, it will be valued by people sooner or later.

For example, when Hero was released for the first time, he was scolded in China.

But 20 years later, when Chinese people saw the movie Hero again, they found that this might be the most perfect martial arts movie in China.

Therefore, many movies need the fermentation of times and time, and Boss Jia can wait for the fermentation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms movies.

Finally, and the most critical point is that only a few hundred million US dollars of investment will not matter even if you lose all of them. For Boss Jia, it’s a drizzle!

Afterwards, Jon Landao and Boss Jia had a full day of talk. When the two of them finished talking, they realized that they had not even had lunch or dinner. They were so hungry that they kept hurting, not feeling hungry at all. It was not until after the talk that they felt a huge feeling of devouring.

"Let's have a meal!" Boss Jia laughed and waited on the side for the secretary to immediately order the food to serve. Then he brought the meal that had been made for the tenth time.

Boss Jia has not eaten yet, so the secretary ordered the kitchen to cook.

And the dignified Boss Jia can't eat the dishes that have been cold or reheated. If Boss Jia eats, it must be freshly cooked.

So the kitchen kept cooking dishes, and when these dishes became cold, they poured them all out and then re-cooked, so that Boss Jia could eat freshly cooked dishes anytime and anywhere.

A boring life with richness!

During this more than 10 hours of talk, Boss Jia and Jon Landao confirmed more details of the movie, and in addition to the shooting of the next five movies.

Originally, Jon Landao planned to shoot a trilogy, but when Boss Jia talked about it, he turned into a six-part.

The first part talks about the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The second part is the 18 princes attacking Dong Zhuo. Starting from Zhang Fei's whipping of the Supervisor, ** is the three heroes fighting against Lu Bu, and at the Luoyang Palace, they turn into ashes. Sun Jian died tragically at the hands of Liu Biao.

The third part is a flying general dancing. This plot is quite complicated. The story has to be unfolded in multiple lines. Part of it is Lu Bu killing Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao's narrow emperor to order the princes to turn evil, and Liu Bei's three orders to Xuzhou.

Finally, the storylines gathered together. Liu Bei and Lu Bu lived together in Xuzhou, constantly in love and kill each other. In the end, Liu Bei suffered a crushing defeat and Lu Bu's hero died in Baimen Tower.

The fourth part is three visits to the cottage. At the beginning, Guan Yu passed five passes and killed six generals, and the extraordinary battle of the Battle of Guandu.

The second half was when Liu Bei lived in Xinye and visited the cottage three times. However, in the end, Liu Bei and Cao Cao two once like-minded friends started a final decisive battle. Liu Bei was defeated all the way to Jiangdong and met Sun Quan, the son of another friend, Sun Jian. The two worked together to fight Cao Cao.

The end of the fourth part is Cao Cao's failure to walk on Huarong Road as the ending.

The fifth part is Liu Bei's complete home court, entering Xichuan, taking over Hanzhong, appointing the Five Tiger Generals, and finally ascending the throne after Emperor Xian of Han died, which was the peak period of the entire Shu Han Dynasty.

As for the sixth part, it is the end of an epic. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei died one after another, and Zhuge Liang died in Wuzhangyuan as the end of the entire series of movies, which is a component of the entire Three Kingdoms epic movie.

In fact, Jon Landao was very opposed to whether to shoot the 6th part. He felt that the part of Chibi could be stretched a little more and divided into two movies to shoot. The final movie ended with Liu Bei's ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

As for the subsequent plot, I won't film it. The reason is very simple. Jon Landao was afraid that the audience would not be able to accept the three perfect heroes who were portrayed, but in the end he died of the villain's hand, and the entire Shu Han was completely defeated.

This is just like when you look at the Avengers. In the end, almost all the Avengers died with Thanos, and there was not even a surviving hero. This will definitely make the audience explode.

However, Boss Jia still insisted on filming the 6th part, because only by filming the 6th part and giving the entire series a tragic ending can the entire series be sublimated, rather than becoming an unfinished movie like Star Wars.

As for the final tragic ending, if the Avengers were shot like this, they would be scolded, but if Daqian was shot like this, they would never be scolded, because this is the real history. If Daqian changed history, they would be scolded by real people.

There is real history, this is a gold medal for avoiding death, and it is impossible for the audience to scold Daqian because of this.

Of course, I thought it would be a crushing defeat in the box office of the sixth part. After all, when Boss Jia watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after watching Liu Bei ascended the throne and became emperor, he jumped directly to the Southern Barbarian Rebellion.

After Zhuge Liang went to Qishan for the 7th meeting, he gave up the subsequent plot and stopped watching it.

If you can't stand this pain, it's better to pretend to be invisible.

But it doesn't matter, and the box office explosion doesn't matter. As long as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms can be promoted to the whole world, even if Boss Jia loses billions of dollars, it doesn't matter.

In this way, the next day, under the order of Boss Jia, Jon Landao began the preparations for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the first step was to go to China to find actors.
Chapter completed!
