    On January 16, 2009 on the Gregorian calendar, and on December 21, 2008 on the lunar calendar, the first major movie of the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" cartoon, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Awesome" was officially released in China.  On New Year¡¯s Eve, Wan Xiaohu specially gave the crew three days off and rushed back to the capital from Canada to spend the Spring Festival with his family.  Now that Wan Xiaohu has a wife and a large number of children, his parents have no further expectations for him and have begun to turn their attention to his younger brother and sister.  After the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner at home, Wan Cishan and Li Cuiping began to preach to Wan Xiaobin and Wan Xiaolan.  Wan Xiaobin has now grown into the deputy general manager of Time Technology Group, responsible for the development of market business. He seems to be busier than Wan Xiaohu every day, and his marriage to Li Miaomiao has been delayed again and again.  "But we can't delay it any longer. Li Miaomiao is also pregnant. In order to get married before she shows her pregnancy, the wedding date has been set for March this year.  "Huzi, when the time comes for your brother and Miaomiao's marriage, you must make time to help organize it. Don't say you don't have time for filming." Li Cuiping ordered like the supreme commander.  "Don't worry, Mom. As a brother, can I help you with Xiaobin and Miaomiao's affairs? I will ensure that it will be lively and glorious, taking care of both the inside and the outside." Wan Xiaohu held Wan Chengyang in his arms.  , kept teasing, while nodding in agreement.  "You are the director, so you deserve it." Li Cuiping nodded matter-of-factly.  Li Miaomiao said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, there is no need to be too lively. Just do it simply and invite the two families to sit down and have a meal together." Wan Xiaohu then smiled and said: "That's what you said.  You don't mean what you mean. If you don't tell me the truth, I won't create a big scene for you." Li Miaomiao blushed, and then pinched Wan Xiaobin. Wan Xiaobin chuckled: "Brother, if you don't help.  Let's do it. Miao Miao will have to make trouble for three months. Brother, whether my life is heaven or hell is entirely in your control. " "So you two are still dependent on me."  Zhong took Wan Chengyang and said, "Is it so easy to take the boss's position?" Wan Xiaolan came over to tease the child, while humming and singing: "I haven't been the eldest brother for many years." "You are still in the mood.  Sing, Lan Lan. Your eldest and second brothers are already married, and you, a girl, are busy doing charity all day long and don't look for a partner. "Li Cuiping began to preach to Wan Xiaolan.  .  "Mom, how old am I? I'm only 22 years old. I just graduated. What's the rush?" "To be precise, after 12 o'clock tonight, you will be 22 years old. After your birthday in two months,  She is 23 years old, and she is already 24 years old. She is no longer a young girl, it¡¯s time to find a partner." Wan Xiaohu revealed Wan Xiaolan¡¯s background.  "There's no hurry, my sister-in-law didn't get married until she was 25. I still have two years." "But your sister-in-law and I hooked up when we were just 20 and the other was just 18." Wan Xiaohu said.  He hugged Su Ya and showed off his affection.  Su Ya slapped him: "What kind of hookup? It's so ugly." "Haha." Wan Xiaohu laughed twice, then stood up and said, "Mom and dad, please educate Lan Lan. Su Ya and I will go over there to pay New Year's greetings.  Let's go." "Drive slowly." "I understand." At this time, Wan Xiaobin and Li Miaomiao also stood up: "Mom and dad, we are also going to pay New Year's greetings. Well, repeat what the elder brother said, you continue to educate Xiaolan.  Goodbye, sister. " "Brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, you are not honest!"  Driving to the military compound, there were many guests at Su Zhicheng's house, who also lived in the military compound.  Comrades and subordinates.  "Xiaohu and Xiaoya are here, give me Yangyang and say hello to the uncles and aunts." Mother-in-law eagerly took Wan Chengyang away.  After saying hello, the New Year greeters should leave wisely. New Year greetings are a sign of sincerity, and whether they leave or not will cause annoyance.  Of course, there are still several officers and their family members who have stayed on good terms with Su Zhicheng's family.  We chatted about interesting things from all over the world for a while, and then we talked about Wan Xiaohu. The main reason was that Su Zhicheng wanted to hear about his work progress.  After all, with half a son-in-law, Su Zhicheng and his wife only had one daughter, Su Ya, and Su Ya became Wan Xiaohu's wife.  Now that even a grandson has been born, I can¡¯t care about Wan Xiaohu even if I don¡¯t want to.  "The day before yesterday, Su Ya sent me a disc. It was "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". I watched it. It was very well shot and had such depth. And the special effects were very good. Many people said that this kind of film is the only one in China.  The talent of a single person in directing is probably beyond the reach of the Chinese.Out of your control.  " "It's pretty good at grasping the market, but maybe a little bit behind in terms of artistry.  "Wan Xiaohu was embarrassed to brag about himself in front of his father-in-law. "Art depends on the person.  Some people appreciate art, and some people don't. After the movie is made, others think it looks good and are willing to pay for the tickets. This is the last word.  "Su Zhicheng seems to hold a market-only view. A major general on the side asked: "I often hear that the investment in a Hollywood movie is hundreds of millions of dollars. In China, it is billions of yuan. A movie requires so much investment.  How much money?  It is said that if Zhang Yimou and the others make a movie, it will cost them two to three billion.  " Wan Xiaohu smiled: "The market determines investment. Domestic movies are aimed at the domestic market. The current highest box office record in the domestic market is "Kung Fu Panda" I shot, with a total box office of more than 420 million.  In other words, the current maximum box office revenue of a domestic film is 400 million, so its cost must be controlled below 150 million to ensure a profit. If the cost exceeds 200 million, it will need to rely on overseas box office revenue.  However, there are not many domestic directors who can get box office success overseas, so the cost is limited.  " "So how much did it cost to make your movie, and how was the sales in overseas markets?  " "My costs are gradually increasing now, and basically the box office is also increasing with the cost, because most of the types of movies I make are close to Hollywood, and the audience is mostly in North America.  Therefore, the box office expectations are high, and the cost is dared to be invested. Just now my dad mentioned "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".  The investment was more than 90 million US dollars, and with the promotion of about 120 million, the final global box office was 630 million.  If you include subsequent audio-visual and peripheral sales such as DVDs, the market leveraged will probably reach US$1.5 billion.  If we make a sequel, it may be developed even more broadly.  "    "so much?  "The major general was a little surprised. People who are not in the film and television field generally pay little attention to the overall marketing of a movie. They probably only know the box office. In Hollywood, the box office revenue of a movie generally only accounts for 30% to 30% of the overall revenue.  20%, the real revenue from developing peripherals. As for domestically, peripherals have not been developed, and box office is still the main focus. Therefore, Hollywood can invest 500 million US dollars in "Avatar", but domestically.  There is no movie with a cost of US$100 million, and even movies with a cost of more than US$50 million are rare. Even though Wan Xiaohu has made many Chinese-language films co-produced by China and the United States in recent years, the cost rarely exceeds.  The number is 60 million. The cost of "Source Code" is 20 million US dollars, the cost of "Never End" is 20 million US dollars, the cost of "Time Planning Bureau" is also 20 million US dollars, and the cost of "Wanted Order" barely reaches 60 million US dollars.  Wan Xiaohu was inevitably a little proud of the major general's surprise, but he still pretended to be humble and said: "This is still a small amount.  Previously directed by James Cameron, he directed "Titanic".  The box office alone reached more than 1.8 billion US dollars.  His new movie "Avatar" will be released at the end of this year. The investment in this movie alone cost 500 million US dollars.  It is estimated that another 100 million will be spent on publicity.  " "That's the cost of $600 million?  "    "Yes.  " "Can this cost be recovered?  "Of course, we are all confident in this movie. It will be an epic movie that will revolutionize 3D technology. I also invested US$85 million in it."  " Su Zhicheng interjected and asked: "I heard that "Inception" also invested US$160 million. Where did you spend the money on the movie?  " "The actor spent 25 million after the film was paid.  Hollywood actors all have millions of dollars.  I personally also received a salary, because I made the film for myself, so I only received a salary of 10 million yuan.  The salary of the producer and crew members is about 30 million, the cost of filming and production is expected to be 45 million, and the post-production cost is 50 million.  These are costs.  160 million, and about 40 million for publicity, totaling 200 million US dollars.  The major general asked: "How big is your company?"  I know that Jiahe Entertainment, which Su Ya is now running, is very big. Your father-in-law also said that you have big companies outside. This is an investment of more than 80 million US dollars, or 200 million cars. Uncle, I  The salary added up over the years is less than a fraction.  " Because everyone here has a close relationship with the Su family, Wan Xiaohu didn't have much to hide: "If we only count domestic entertainment companies and Internet companies, in terms of nominal capital, China's richest man can probably win it.  , then the company should be able to produce one or twenty billionaires.  " "Capitalist, capitalist!  The major general shook his head and sighed, and then said to Su Zhicheng, "You don't have to worry about taking care of yourself in old age. You have a capitalist as your son-in-law."  " "Children are playing by themselves, but who knew it could be so big. Sometimes I worry that money can easily make people jealous.  "Su Zhicheng"Love is somewhat complicated. Having more money is naturally good, but sometimes having more money is not necessarily a good thing.  The major general shook his head: "Don't worry, Old Su. Your daughter and son-in-law are making money legitimately. Who can say 'no'? Only other people's children should be worried about making such a fortune by reselling approval documents, poaching the country, smuggling and speculating."  Su Zhicheng is actually pretending to be humble. His daughter and son-in-law are capable, and he is prouder than anyone else: "Okay, Xiaohu, you and Su Ya, take Yangyang, go to your uncle's house to pay New Year greetings and talk to your grandpa." (  To be continued. ) PS: It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve said anything~ I originally wanted to end it early, but the editor later hoped to finish it in September.  Therefore, I will continue to prepare manuscripts for the new book, and this book will be outlined in detail.  As for the situation of one update a dayshame!
