I'm almost a Muggle

When a group of filmmakers get together, they will naturally talk about movies.

Because I came to Hollywood today, I had a wide range of conversations.

Lin Dong heard Du Qixi complain that some movies had no sequels.

"Why didn't "Extreme Cold" make a sequel? I think the box office of this kind of theme will not be too bad." Du Qixi was deeply impressed by this childhood shadow.

"I'm waiting in the ninth district too." Concubine Han obviously prefers this kind.

"Extremely Deep Cold" is an old film in 1998. It has been 20 years since then. It tells the story of a deep-sea monster attacking a cruise ship on a sea.

It is difficult to classify which type of film it belongs to? In the film, there are all kinds of elements such as horror, thriller, monsters, disasters, funny, etc., and everything is available!

It can be called a model for commercial entertainment blockbusters!

What makes movie fans miss the most is that the ending of the film left a huge suspense: the group of three people who escaped the attack of the deep-sea monsters by chance boarded an isolated island. Just when they were secretly glad, there was an "undercurrent" in the depths of the isolated island, as if a larger monster was about to appear!

The ending is beautiful, obviously for the sequel.

What makes people watch is full of suspense, which is heart-wrenching, and after watching the first part, I want to watch the second part.

However, twenty years have passed.

The director still didn't shoot the episode.

Countless people are thinking of sending blades to the director.

When the blades gather together, they can all compete for the Iron Throne.

Fans of "Extreme Cold" can only use "Kong Skull Island" as the sequel to "Extreme Cold". Just YY, they discovered the "Truth of Skull Island" after they went to the island, which led to King Kong.

Let’s talk about it.

"Why is there no sequel?" Lin Dong asked.

Mary Palent thought for a while and said:

"The films released before and after the same period are all world-class classics that have been recorded in history, such as "Titanic", "Face Change", "Jurassic Park", "Save Private Ryan", "Godzilla", etc.

Compared with the world-class classic films above, "Extreme Deep Cold" is not as good as others in terms of investment scale, celebrity status, special effects technology, etc., and can only survive in the cracks! Eating leftovers and inducing the next most important reason - poor box office!"

"Is it a bad box office?" Lin Dong really didn't know this.

"This movie invested 45 million US dollars, and in 1998, it was a considerable investment, and was jointly produced and distributed by three companies. It was released in the first week of North America, with a box office of only 4.7 million US dollars, and the final box office was $11.2 million, with a very bad result!"

Mary Palent is well known.

The reason is very simple, MGM also participated in that movie.

"Tsk tsk." Boss Lin's envious tears flowed freely along the corners of his mouth.

"The box office in the ninth district should be quite good, right?" Du Qixi asked.

"The Ninth District" is adapted by director "Neil Bromkamp" based on his former original science fiction short film "Aliens in Johannesburg". It is also the director's first feature film in his personal drama! The title of the "The Ninth District" is intended to allude to Xiaoguozi's mysterious "51".

At the end of the video, the alien's sentence "I will come back to find you. I have promised you in 3 years!" left a huge suspense for the sequel.

No one expected that the male protagonist would have been waiting for 10 years!

The key is when will the sequel be filmed or it will be nowhere to be achieved.

"Big Prawn" doesn't keep its word.

It’s a true “shrimp talk”!

"Yes, this movie didn't lose money, and it made a lot of money." Mary Palent said.

Not only did it make money, it also has a good reputation.

This science fiction film, shot in a pseudo-documentary, has a unique style and obvious racial metaphor, and it received rave reviews as soon as it was released.

It is a rare successful work of making a big fortune.

"Then why doesn't it make a sequel?" Lin Dong couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the leader of this movie also has a system of losing money.

"On the one hand, the script is difficult to produce, and on the other hand, the director feels that he is not good at it."

Just quite speechless.

After filming "The Ninth District", director Neil Bromkamp shot two science fiction films, "The Bliss Space" and "The Super Crazy Chapai", but the opposite is average and he did not surpass himself.

Due to his own high standards, the director became suspicious of himself.

So, director Neil Bromkamp returned to the "short film" field that he was good at, and specialized in producing science fiction short films that lasted only about 20 minutes.

"Why don't we do something about it?" Du Qixi had a sudden idea.

As a director.

The way of thinking is quite unique.

"After so many years, no one has made this idea, which means it is not worth doing this." As a strategic officer, Han Feizi didn't need to use data analysis.

Yes, one decade, one twenty years.

The reason no one makes a sequel is because it is not worth it.

"Many companies have considered filming sequels, but after evaluation by all parties, they finally gave up this plan. It can be said without hesitation that not only these two movies, but also many other niche classics, can't see the light of day again."

Mary Palent dared not directly criticize Du Qixi, but she was actually very puzzled.

Has this person spoke through his mind?

A major event like a film project should not be considered in the end by multiple assessments?

Moreover, it is thankless to continue filming "Extremely Cold".

Even if someone is willing to go to the cinema for it, it is because of his feelings and to watch the sequel with his feelings, and there are always people who can find fault.

"Ms. Palent, please help me arrange it. Our Uncle Du wants to watch "Extreme Cold 2". He is so old and can't wait for a few years. It's best for him to see it next year." Lin Dong was serious.

Concubine Han covered her forehead and translated it in a solid manner.

If the boss has a good English, she will not be able to violate the boss's hospital translation.

"Uh..." Mary Palent was stunned.

She thought Du Qixi was enough to have sex, but she didn't expect the boss to have sex even more sex.

"Mr. Lin, don't go too far. I'm only one year older than you." Qixi shook his breath and shook coldly.

You are the boss, you can deduct my salary at will.

But you can't tell lies with your eyes open like this.

This is a humiliation to me.

"There is also the "Ninth District". Our old Han wants to watch it, so he has arranged it for her. Are there any other sequels he wants to watch?" Lin Dong didn't joke at all.

Indeed, sequels don't necessarily lose money.

"It's not easy to catch monsters", "Catching Monsters 2", "Lingshan King 5", "Shushan Series" and "Shanhai Series" are enough to make him understand this truth.

But MGM's original movies also make money.

Whether it is "Silent Land" or "Bohemian Rhapsody", they are all things that make a big profit, and they all make a big fortune with small profits.

Since that's the case, it's better to let them mess with the sequel.

In order to make the sequel well, they have to spend more energy, which is not worry-free.

"Mr. Lin...I..." Concubine Han was not moved at all.

"Believe me." Lin Dong was shameless.
