Shooting will start in the second half of the year, which is a very general and rough statement.

However, compared to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," the filming and production investment of "The Silence of the Lambs" is much smaller, not even half of theirs!

If we don't have a good enough director, a big star like Lin Lin, and a group of supporting actors with superb acting skills, and these people are expensive, we might not even be able to use one-third of the production budget.

!

As for the publicity and distribution costs, the difference is even further.

After all, for a crime and horror movie, no matter how high Sun Peng's requirements are, I'm afraid it won't be able to exceed a quarter of the level of the first Little Magician, otherwise it would be absolutely unreasonable.

So as soon as Sun Ya released the news, she immediately received a large number of interested companies.

There are those from China, and of course there are those from Hollywood.

Although it is just a crime movie with a little bit of horror in it, since it is a script written by Lao Bai, it is impossible for anyone to despise it. Of course, more importantly, this "Silence of the Lambs" also has the title of "

The title of the movie version of "Criminal Minds" is even more mouth-watering!

You know, "Criminal Minds" is famous now!

Not only in China, every season of "Criminal Minds" can be ranked in the top ten online views, and when it is broadcast on TV stations, the ratings often enter the top twenty! And this is not a family-friendly TV series.

It’s a crime drama that can only be played in the second half of the evening or late at night!

In Europe, North America, and even in countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, the results of "Criminal Minds" are not far behind!

To put it simply, "Criminal Minds" already has a huge "mass base"! For film companies, there is no doubt that "Criminal Minds" is the top quality resource. For this point, just look at every review of "Criminal Minds"

Just think about the money you can earn worldwide in one season. It is a super IP that ranks among the top ten every year!

The only question is, will the movie version be equally popular?

This is what the film company is most concerned about, because the rhythm and style of the TV series version of "Criminal Minds" will obviously never be adapted to the big screen unless there is a good enough script!

Lao Bai personally took action and of course solved this trouble.

So in the following period, around the "Silence of the Lambs", several powerful companies in China, including Hollywood, started competing, and Sun Ya was the center of their competition...

…

Of course, Sun Peng wouldn't worry about all this.

In addition to the fact that these matters have always been handled by the second sister, it is also because he has gradually become busy with his own affairs - there is a pregnant woman with a pregnant belly to take care of at home, and he has to go to his uncle and film school to study every week.

"The release date is approaching, and as a director and screenwriter, he has to participate in promotions and so on from time to time.

For a moment, Sun Peng was really busy and dizzy.

And while Sun Peng was busy learning to recharge his batteries and making the final sprint before the release of "League of Assassins", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" began to show its power in a place where he had forgotten...or deliberately not paid attention to.

.

The sales data for one month after its launch surprised many people!

So one month after "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released, more than 700,000 copies were sold in the UK, 1.96 million copies were sold in the United States, and more than 1.96 million copies were sold in English-speaking countries such as Australia and Canada.

After selling nearly one million copies in major countries such as Germany and France on the European continent, Hollywood's Heymans Pictures is going crazy!

Of course, it’s not because I was pleasantly surprised by my excellent results, but because I regretted the agreement I signed in the first place!

When Sun Peng and Heimensi were negotiating, because the other party was completely unsure about the prospects of adapting "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" into a movie, and the sales of "Han Bo and the Spiritual Stone" were not very good, they always agreed.

I have concerns. In addition, Sun Peng’s requirements are too high, and the high production costs and publicity expenses are too stressful. Therefore, even if he is a famous laobai, he has never failed in music or movies, and Haimensi Pictures has also

Don’t dare to make a desperate move!

In the final contract, Sun Peng invested US$50 million himself!

Although this 50 million US dollars only holds 35% of the shares, considering Sun Peng's high screenwriting fees and copyright fees, he got back half of it! Look at the current sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in Europe and the United States

sales, and the topic caused by being the same as the Little Wizard series...

Now Heimence Pictures understands that they have done a stupid thing!

The scariest thing is that this is not the stupidest thing. For the same reasons mentioned above...or perhaps because of Lao Bai's insistence, Heimence Pictures only signed the first part of the Little Magician series, that is, it only signed

Received the film adaptation rights for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"!

They didn't even win "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"!

No one could have imagined that in just one month, things would change drastically, making the people at Heimens Pictures regretful and feeling like they had missed out on hundreds of millions of dollars! Of course, if they knew about the Little Magicians on Earth series

Given the value created, I’m afraid some people will just jump off the building?

The popularity of "Little Magician" also made the name laobai once again hit the screens of countless filmmakers in Europe and the United States...

…

One month after the new book was put on the shelves, no one in China wanted to read the Little Magician anymore.

Except for some very stubborn ones, basically all the big Vs on Weibo have stopped because they know that if they continue to do so, they will slap themselves in the face! As for those people on the Internet who do so purely for the sake of being offensive, they must

It is impossible to stop oneself. Anyway, being besieged and scolded by Lao Bai's fans sometimes even gives me a sense of accomplishment!

However, the controversy and criticism have subsided, but discussions about the two series of Little Wizards and Little Magic have become lively.

Both ordinary readers and the so-called critics were extremely surprised by everything that happened - it was obviously the same thing, but the background, the task, and the name of the spell were changed, and yet they could get such completely different and completely different things.

treatment?

The word "miraculous" is not enough to describe such a thing.

In the words of Lao Bai Chui Yiye Zhiqiu, Sun Peng used a special method to write a book that originally wanted to conquer both Chinese and Western readers in two forms - Lao Bai did not

Awesome, but this year's Western readers are not good...

Of course, Chinese readers are even less good!

Haven’t you seen that it wasn’t until “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” became a hit in Europe and the United States that Chinese people began to change their views on the book, and sales soared on major lists?

And in addition to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Han Bo and the Spiritual Stone" is also making a comeback!

Speaking of which, the human heart is so strange.

When "Han Bo and the Philosopher's Stone" was first published, Chinese people felt awkward, and Westerners also felt awkward. Sales were supported by Lao Bai's name. As a result, after "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" came out, Western readers felt comfortable

, and then Chinese readers were also curious!

Not only Chinese, but also European and American readers began to be curious about its "original" Little Wizard series after reading the first part of Little Wizard. So in the last ten days of this month, "Han Bo and
Chapter completed!
