Chapter 932: . Lin Husheng's doubts

Although "Mad Max Fury Road" cannot be said to be perfect, it is indeed difficult to surpass.
Don’t you know about this, Mina Group and Matsumoto Global? Of course they do.
But they still want to make this movie into a series.
Surpassing is not good, but they still have great confidence in making money.
After all, the first "Mad Max Fury Road" was so successful.
And Wang Yifan didn’t want to make a sequel, and they were not surprised, because many directors are like this, most directors would not want to make a sequel, especially when the first film is extremely successful, unless they are really exhausted, or I am really short of money, otherwise, most of the time, I would not make a sequel to my own series of films.
However, they also knew that if they wanted to serialize "Mad Max Fury Road", it was impossible for them to bleed.
You know, although "Mad Max Fury Road" has only been released for less than two weeks, the box office performance has caused those box office forecasting agencies to repeatedly change their forecast numbers.
After the first weekend, in the next four working days, although the box office of "Mad Max Fury Road" will inevitably drop, the box office decline is healthy, less than 50%, the first one On a working day, it received 13.2 million dollars, and in four working days, it received 56.68 million U.S. dollars. The North American box office easily crossed the 100 million U.S. dollar threshold and reached 136.74 million U.S. dollars.
At the same time, although "Mad Max Fury Road" was not released in China, the second largest market in the world, the film was released in Europe, Asia and other regions successively, and the performance was even better than North America. The overseas box office has been in theaters for a full week, the box office has surpassed the North American box office and won a box office of 180 million U.S. dollars, pushing the total box office directly past the 300 million U.S. dollar mark!
And this is only the first week.
The previous agency predicted that "Mad Max Fury Road" North American box office should be around 250 million, but now, obviously, 250 million is definitely not the limit of this movie.
Sure enough, the following second weekend.
"Crazy Max Fury Road" is almost completely crushed because of the overwhelming audience reputation, excellent publicity, and movies of the same period. It can be said that there is no movie that can be a battle, so " "Crazy Max Fury Road" even if it is an R-rated film, even if it is not a family movie, the decline this weekend surprised countless people.
Three days after the next weekend, "Mad Max Fury Road" actually got 58.66 million in the box office, a drop of less than 40% compared to the first weekend!
The North American box office of "Mad Max Fury Road" released for ten days in North America was close to the 200 million mark!
In terms of the global box office, the same performance is quite impressive. In Europe and Asia, it is almost the local box office champion, and this is actually an R-rated film.
It was released for ten days worldwide, and the total box office reached more than 450 million.
Makes many people jealous!
This is why Matsumoto Universal and Mina Group are eager to serialize this movie!
Because it is so profitable!
And the key is that this movie is not only strong at the box office, but also sold around the same.
Wang Yifan has no interest in the sequel here, and even intends to sell the copyright of the sequel directly.
But Lin Husheng at home suddenly couldn't sit still.
In his opinion, Wang Yifan is completely surrendering a chicken who can lay golden eggs.
Where can this work? Therefore, Lin Husheng flew to North America quickly, hoping to avoid talking with Wang Yifan, and at least put out Wang Yifan's idea of ​​selling the serialized copyright of "Mad Max Fury Road".
......
Wang Yifan also bought a manor here in North America. It was not a top-notch manor. After all, Wang Yifan could not stay here for long.
Moreover, to be honest, Wang Yifan is quite uncomfortable with the habits of people on the American side.
Lin Husheng ran to see Wang Yifan non-stop as soon as he got off the plane.
"Yi Fan, what do you think? The first part of "Crazy Max Fury Road" is so popular, the second part is definitely a profitable business, even if you are not interested in directing the second part, but no Is it necessary to give up this series?" Lin Husheng was really puzzled.
Especially now that "Mad Max Fury Road" not only sells well in North America, but also has a burst of word-of-mouth. At the same time, it is also selling well on a global scale. The serialization of such a movie is definitely a proper golden egg. A gold mine, he really doesn't understand, why is Wang Yifan not optimistic about it?
"Come on, drink tea." Wang Yifan poured Lin Husheng a cup of tea without rush.
Well, in fact, there are servants in the manor. In North America, many of them are used to being served by others, but to be honest, Wang Yifan is not used to it.
Although there are babysitters in China, most of the time, babysitters do things like renting a house and cleaning.
For things like making tea, Wang Yifan finds it more interesting to do it by himself.
Lin Husheng saw that Wang Yifan was like this, but he was helpless. After taking a sip of tea, he continued to ask: "What do you think?"
Wang Yifan smiled and said: "Dong Lin, what do you think of "Mad Max Fury Road"?"
Lin Husheng was startled for a moment and said, "Absolutely! This is well-known. This movie is awesome!"
Wang Yifan smiled and said: "Then do you think it is possible for the second part to exceed the first?"
Lin Husheng pondered for a while and shook his head: "It's impossible, but even so, it doesn't prevent the second part from making money. If the first part is the bottom line, how can the second part's box office not be bad?"
Wang Yifan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. It's not that the series of movies hit the streets."
"Of course, the main thing is that the gain is not worth the loss. First of all, the story of the first film "Mad Max Fury Road" is actually finished. The second one, how to continue this story? According to Mina Group and Matsumoto Universal It means to continue telling the story of Ferrosa. After all, Ferrosa is the most popular character in this movie.
But, have you ever thought that in the first part, Ferrosa has actually achieved the ultimate, how to break through the second part? If you can't break through, can this character still be so popular? Afraid it will backfire, right? "
Lin Husheng nodded, then shook his head and said, "Even so, at least you can make two movies, right?"
Wang Yifan was noncommittal, poured another cup of tea, and took a sip and said, "Yes, at least two films can be made. That's correct. Even if the reputation of the second one is rotten, the box office should not be too bad."
"Then why..." Lin Husheng didn't understand, he really didn't understand.
