284: Hollywood insiders panicked: Wang Defa, what's going on? Are the Chinese here to make money?

"What? iron man actually has a second movie, and it's already been filmed and can be released?"

"Oh my god, that means even before iron man was released, Da Xu Culture directly filmed two movies.

So confident? It really lives up to its reputation as the most prominent film and television company recently; its vision is extraordinarily grand!"

"Hahahaha, I said before that this iron man could have many more storylines, and I hoped 'Great Xu' would continue to make sequels.

But I never expected that 'Great Xu' not only planned to make sequels but had already prepared them."

"This news is truly shocking. iron man hasn't been off the shelves for long, and the second movie is already about to be released."

... "Hiss! Has everyone thought of a question? iron man earned nearly two billion at the box office in Great Xia.

Its performance in Lighthouse Country was even better, with six hundred million US dollars in box office revenue, directly equivalent to over four billion.

If you add them up, the box office performance of just this first movie exceeded kung fu's five billion... If the second movie's performance can rival the first, my god, wouldn't the two movies' box office exceed ten billion?"

"Mama mia! This is too terrifying; its money-making ability is simply unrivaled!"

"I suddenly remembered another question: after iron man 2 is released, will there be a third movie?"

"Uh... probably... not, right? If there really is, that would be too outrageous."

... Regarding the news that iron man 2 will be released simultaneously in Great Xia and Lighthouse Country, netizens have been discussing it animatedly.

Because there has never been such a precedent.

No film and television company would directly film a sequel without any data guarantee.

According to normal logic.

The reason for making a sequel to a movie is, on one hand, because there are still stories to tell, and on the other hand, naturally, to make money.

If the box office data of the first movie is unknown, why make a sequel? What if the first movie flops?

But looking at Da Xu Culture's operation now, it's clear that the second movie was filmed long ago.

It was just waiting for iron man 1 to be taken off the shelves, and then iron man 2 could seamlessly be released.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to film the second movie in just over half a month.

This left netizens very shocked.

This operation is too damn confident, isn't it?

It's as if iron man 1 hadn't even been released yet, and Da Xu Culture was already sure it could make money, so it had no qualms and directly filmed the sequel.

This kind of operation probably hasn't been replicated by any other film and television company in today's film industry.

After all, making movies is a real money-burning endeavor. If you don't have tens of millions for a sequel, don't even think about it.

It also means directly doubling the original cost risk.

Originally, filming one movie might cost fifty million, so at least two hundred million in box office revenue would be needed to break even.

That is, barely not losing money.

But if the sequel is also filmed as a package, the cost goes from fifty million to one hundred million.

Besides shocking netizens, this behavior also made industry insiders drop their jaws:

also made industry insiders drop their jaws:

"Madmen! The people at Da Xu Culture are madmen; to have such an operation, they are truly audacious!"

"I never dared to imagine a situation where a sequel would be filmed directly, but I've seen it this time."

"Da Xu Culture has set a precedent, but I don't think there will be any followers!"

"Hehe, even if you want to follow suit, you have to see if the investors are willing, right?

You think everyone is like Da Xu Culture, not lacking funds? Damn, they are really too rich."

"Isn't that right, they are rich? The previous kung fu made five billion at the box office, and the share was over a billion.

This time, iron man 1's total box office share is even higher, estimated to be heading towards two billion, which is truly astonishing."

... Compared to the shock of netizens or industry insiders.

Director Xu's fans were purely happy about this news.

Everyone originally hoped that our Director Xu would produce more works, and iron man 1 was also widely welcomed.

They originally thought that even if iron man had a sequel, it might be a year or two later.

Unexpectedly, the first part was just digested, and the second part was already ready for release.

Isn't this a huge benefit for fans?

So the fans had already exploded:

[Director Xu is awesome, I love you, hahahaha, I'll be able to see iron man 2 soon.]

[I'm looking forward to it, I've watched the first part several times, and now I can see the second part, it's so great.]

[I knew our Streamer was unique, directly releasing a sequel, who has ever done that?]

[Hahahaha, our Director Xu is releasing movies like TV series, releasing the first episode, then the second episode.]

... [This way, the people in Lighthouse Country's Hollywood probably have nothing to say.]

[Indeed, didn't that guy named John say before that our Director Xu only had one science fiction film, so he couldn't be called an excellent science fiction director?

Now it's good, iron man 2 is about to be released, a solid science fiction film. By then, I'll see what else that guy has to say.]

[Speaking of which, our Director Xu also knows how to slap faces. After John said that Great Xia audiences' appreciation level was not good, Director Xu released iron man in Lighthouse Country.

When the box office came out, it slapped John's bearded face loudly.

This time, John was smart, saying that Director Xu only had one work, so he couldn't be called an excellent science fiction director.

Haha, who knew Director Xu directly brought out iron man 2? John is probably dumbfounded now...]

... [I have to say, Da Xu Culture's vision is much bigger than other film and television companies.

Other companies are still focused on Great Xia's small plot of land, while Da Xu has already gone to Lighthouse Country to make money.]

[This is unavoidable; after all, other companies don't have a genius like our Director Xu.

For example, Wu Leilei, who filmed magic city fortress before, doesn't he want to make money in Lighthouse Country?

But that thing flopped at the box office here in Great Xia, let alone going to Lighthouse Country. Only 'Great Xu' has this ability.]

[Exactly! With just one 'iron man,' Da Xu Culture opened the tightly shut door of Great Xia science fiction.

Now, with the addition of 'iron man 2,' our Great Xia science fiction films are bound to flourish.]

... In fact, the insiders in Hollywood were indeed quite shocked by the news that Da Xu Culture was about to release 'iron man 2' in Lighthouse Country.

In the past, it was always Hollywood blockbusters going to Great Xia for release. What does this represent?

It represents the high quality of Hollywood blockbusters!

But now, Great Xia's movies are being released one after another in Lighthouse Country.

Could it be that their film quality has surpassed 'Hollywood films'?

Although industry insiders in Lighthouse Country find this difficult to accept, iron man's box office data of six hundred million US dollars indirectly proved something.

This made the insiders in Hollywood a bit depressed:

"What the f*ck! When did it become Great Xia movies' turn to come to my Hollywood market to make money?"
