"What?! There's actually a sequel to Iron Man, and it's already filmed and ready for release?"
"My God, that means that before Iron Man was even released, DaXu Culture had already made two movies."
So confident? No wonder it's the hottest film company lately; their vision is truly impressive!
"Hahaha, I said before that there could be a lot more storylines to film for Iron Man, and that I hoped 'Da Xu' would continue to make sequels."
But I never expected that 'Da Xu' not only planned to make a sequel, but had actually been preparing for it for a long time.
"This news is really shocking. Iron Man hasn't been off the shelves for long, and the sequel is already going to be released."
...
"Hiss! Has anyone remembered something? Iron Man grossed nearly two billion at the box office in China."
It performed even better in the United States, where it grossed $600 million, which is equivalent to more than 4 billion yuan.
If you add them all up, the box office revenue of just the first film alone exceeded 5 billion yuan of Kung Fu Hustle…
If the second film performs as well as the first, my goodness, wouldn't the box office for both films exceed 10 billion?
"My god! This is terrifying! Their money-making ability is simply unmatched!"
"I suddenly remembered a question: after Iron Man 2 was released, will there be a third one?"
"Um... I don't think so. If it really were true, that would be too outrageous."
...
The news that Iron Man 2 will be released simultaneously in China and the United States has sparked much discussion among netizens.
Because there has never been a precedent for this.
No film company would produce a sequel to a movie without any data to back it up.
Logically speaking...
The reason for making a sequel to a movie is, of course, to have more stories to tell, and also to make money.
If you don't even know the box office figures for the first film, why make a sequel? What if the first film flops?
However, judging from Daxu Culture's current actions, it's clear that the second part was already filmed a long time ago.
Once Iron Man 1 is taken off the shelves, Iron Man 2 can be released seamlessly in its place.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to film the second part in just over half a month.
This shocked netizens.
That's way too confident!
It's like Iron Man 1 hadn't even been released yet, but Daxu Culture was already certain it would make money, so they didn't hesitate to produce the sequel.
This kind of operation is probably something no other film company in the current film industry would dare to replicate.
After all, making movies is a real money-burning activity; you can't even dream of making a sequel without tens of millions of dollars.
This is equivalent to doubling the original cost and risk.
Originally, it might have cost 50 million to make a movie, so it would need to earn at least 200 million in box office revenue to break even.
That is, barely breaking even.
However, if the sequel is also packaged and filmed, the cost will increase from 50 million to 100 million.
This behavior not only shocked netizens.
This also surprised many in the industry.
"Insane! Everyone at Daxu Culture is insane! How could they do something like this? They're incredibly audacious!"
"I never imagined that a sequel would be made out directly, but I never expected to see it this time."
"Daxu Culture has pioneered a new path, but I doubt there will be any followers!"
"Hehe, even if you want to follow the trend, you have to see if the investors are willing to."
You think everyone's as well-funded as Daxu Culture? They're fucking incredibly rich.
"Of course we're rich. Our previous film, Kung Fu Hustle, grossed 5 billion at the box office, and we've already made over 1 billion in revenue sharing."
Iron Man 1's total box office revenue is even higher, estimated to be approaching two billion, which is truly astonishing.
...
Compared to the shock of netizens or people in the industry.
Xu Lu's fans were simply overjoyed by the news.
Everyone has been hoping that Director Xu will produce more works, and Iron Man 1 was very popular.
I originally thought that even if there was a sequel to Iron Man, it might be a year or two away.
I can't believe that the first one was barely finished before the second one was already being prepared for release.
This is a huge benefit for fans.
So the fans were already in an uproar:
[Director Xu is awesome! I love you so much! Hahaha, we'll be able to see Iron Man 2 soon!]
[I can't wait! I've watched the first one so many times, and now I can finally see the second one. It's so awesome!]
[I knew our streamer was different; they released a sequel right away. Who else has done that before?]
[Hahaha, Director Xu is treating this movie like a TV series! He shows the first episode, then the second.]
...
[In this way, the people on the US's "Hollywood" side will probably have nothing to say.]
Indeed, didn't that guy named John say that our Director Xu only has one sci-fi film, so he can't be called an excellent sci-fi director?
Now, Iron Man 2 is about to be released, a solid sci-fi movie. Let's see what this guy has to say then.
Speaking of which, our Director Xu can be quite contradictory. Just when John said that the audience in the United States didn't have good taste, Director Xu released Iron Man in the United States.
