Series dramas have this benefit.

When the reputation of a series rises, the sequel does not need a lot of publicity investment to achieve good results.

…

Halfway through the summer vacation.

Fang Xing felt that time was almost up, so he convened a meeting with the company's senior management to discuss the production plan for "The Wandering Earth 2".

"The Wandering Earth 1" has done very well at the box office, with a box office of 4.7 billion, and is basically scheduled to be the annual box office champion for the entire year.

With this box office performance, unless there is another super dark horse movie released in the summer, the annual box office championship is guaranteed.

The summer holiday season is already halfway through, and there are no super strong movies.

If there was such a dark horse movie, it should be released on the first day of the summer season.

The three major movie schedules of the year are Spring Festival, summer and National Day.

Moreover, the three movie schedules are ranked in order. The schedule with the highest total box office is undoubtedly the Spring Festival schedule, followed by the summer schedule and the National Day schedule.

The summer holiday season is already halfway through, and there is no movie that can surpass "The Wandering Earth".

So the chance of releasing a movie with a box office of 4.7 billion in the remaining National Day period is very slim.

After all, there are only 7 days of prime time in the summer. After 7 days, the box office will drop off a cliff and it will be difficult to support the 4.7 billion box office figure.

At the beginning of the year.

When Fang Xing was interviewed by "Filmmaker", he said that there would be "The Wandering Earth 2".

However, this sentence was only said in "Filmmaker", and there was no news after that.

Even the company's top executives don't know when the legendary "The Wandering Earth 2" will be produced.

At the beginning, the industry heard that Fang Xing was going to produce "The Wandering Earth 2", and many companies came forward to seek cooperation.

However, Ark Culture’s response is that there are no production plans for the time being.

Half a year has passed.

Fang Xing finally put this matter on the agenda.

"Yes, there is one more thing to discuss in today's meeting, and that is the production plan of "The Wandering Earth 2"."

Hearing this, the top executives of Ark Culture in the conference room all became energetic.

What kind of movie is "The Wandering Earth 1"?

With a box office of 4.7 billion, he single-handedly opened up the Chinese science fiction film market.

Countless audiences hailed this year as the first year of science fiction in Chinese film history.

The achievement is so outrageous.

Perhaps, there will be Chinese science fiction movies that surpass "The Wandering Earth" in the future, but the audience will never forget that it was this movie that completed the step from scratch.

Now, "The Wandering Earth 2" is coming.

Even Fang Xing looked a little excited: "For the second part, I have only one request. It should be the best science fiction movie in China, and it should be better than the first one."

When it comes to making a movie, everyone else focuses on how to make it, but Qiao Yinghong focuses on how much it will cost.

"How much investment? Is it the same as the first one? Will we be the main investor, or will we be looking for investment publicly?"

Fang Xing replied: "It is planned to invest 600 million yuan. We are the main investor. We can also accept investment from other groups. The investment department and the film and television production department are responsible for the specific plans."

Invest 600 million.

This is Ark Culture’s largest investment in a film and television production so far.

Prior to this, the largest investment was "The Wandering Earth 1", with an investment of 500 million.

This time, another 100 million was added.

Moreover, the movie's special effects are still produced by the subsidiary Nebula Special Effects, which means that the cost of special effects can be saved a lot.

With an investment of 600 million yuan, the actual production effect will definitely exceed 600 million yuan.

After confirming the launch of the "Wandering Earth 2" project, Ark Culture began to get busy again.

After the meeting.

Fang Xing invited Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao to the office to discuss the follow-up work plan.

Since Wang Yutao was the executive director when "The Wandering Earth 1" was being filmed, a lot of the filming work was completed by him.

This project is so big that sometimes two or three studios are filming at the same time, and one director simply cannot handle it.

Therefore, Fang Xing really needs an executive director.

However, Zhang Yigao and Wang Yutao have now become famous in the field of TV dramas, and now they can easily get projects worth one to two billion when they go out.

They may not be willing to continue to be executive directors.

Therefore, Fang Xingxing had to talk to them and respect their opinions.

If they want to participate in the "Wandering Earth 2" project, Fang Xing will let them join. If they want to independently direct other film and television works, Fang Xing will also agree.

As for the executive director, Fang Xing will find the right person from elsewhere.

Fang Xing opened his mouth and said: "Your drama has been filmed. "Remaining Sin 2" has not been aired yet, but it will be aired soon. I wanted to ask if you have any new plans."

Zhang Yigao replied: "The production department and I are discussing new film and television projects, but we don't have any plans yet, and I'm not in a hurry to start new projects."

Wang Yutao didn't wait for Fang Xing to speak, and took the initiative to say: "I want to join "The Wandering Earth 2" as an executive director. I was the executive director of the first part, and I want to continue to participate in the production of the second part."

Fang Xing thought about it and said, ""The Wandering Earth 2" does need an executive director. However, you can hire another one. If you have other work plans, you can work on other things first."

Wang Yutao insisted: "I want to make "The Wandering Earth 2". When I was filming the first part, I had a lot of ideas, but I didn't have the chance to make them. I hope I can use them in the second part. Moreover, I felt that when I was filming the first part,

, my work should be up to standard and I can be qualified for the second part."

Seeing that he really wanted to join "The Wandering Earth 2", Fang Xing nodded and said, "Since you want to join, then go ahead."

Zhang Yigao asked by the way: "Is there any plan for the second part of "The Three-Body Problem"?"
Chapter completed!
