Chapter 556 The Outside World Is Big (Part [-])
"Bring Her Eyes" still surpassed 1000 million at the final box office, and climbed to the top of the box office in Chinese film history in one fell swoop.

And the box office went from 900 million to 1000 million in just one week.

The reason for this is that starting from the third week, movie theaters in major cities across the country have been opened, and China Film Group is operating in them. The film schedule of "Bring Her Eyes" is very high, which is already ridiculously high.

Some theaters don't show other movies at all, and "Bring Her Eyes" has a very intensive schedule, one after another.

There is also a reason for China Film to do this.

The matter of cooperating with Deep Space Corporation to introduce foreign blockbuster films in batches was discussed within China Film Group.

There are pros and cons.

In addition to internal conflicts, China Film Group is also under pressure. After all, reform is always risky.

It has only been two years since they started introducing blockbuster films, and now they have developed a new model. If this model does not develop well, then China Film will have to face accusations from many parties.

Now, the box office of "Bring Her Eyes" has directly topped the box office of China's film history. No matter whether it is internal contradictions or external pressure, China Film has disappeared in an instant.

At this time, everyone will congratulate China Film Group for taking another solid and powerful step on the road of reform.

And their cooperation with Deep Space Corporation also had a fantastic start.

……

On the day the news of "Bring Her Eyes" broke the box office record, Yu Yu received a call from Zeng Zhiwei.

"Mr. Yu, congratulations, your company has made a lot of money this time."

"Thank you. We don't actually make much money. We work for theaters and distributors. Don't look at the box office of more than 1 million yuan. It's only lost in our hands. And Mr. Zeng, you don't know, the cost of this film is two [-] million, the box office looks like a lot, but it doesn’t really matter.”

Regarding the approval of the film, there is an official announcement, but the specific details of the introduction of "Bring Her Eyes" are unknown to others, so I don't want people to get to the bottom of it.

"Mr. Yu was joking. If you can't make money with such a high box office, then no one will make movies in the future." Zeng Zhiwei smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, look at the list I sent you before." Is it done? How is it? Is there any hope for us to cooperate?"

Yu Yu knew that Zeng Zhiwei called to ask about this matter, he smiled and said: "Mr. Zeng, I didn't dare to delay your matter. After I got the list, I went to find the casting director. Unfortunately, it was a step late. , The casting director told me that all the characters with lines have been selected, not only the first choice, but also the alternates."

There is no such thing as a casting director at all, and I just left the list to Liu Weiqiang.

"Then this..."

"Mr. Zeng, you don't know how stubborn our casting director is. What he has decided cannot be changed in any way, even if my boss speaks out. Later, I had a serious chat with him and said It was Mr. Zeng who was recommended by you, so he finally let go and released two characters."

"I'm sorry for the trouble, Mr. Yu. After the matter is completed, I will definitely express my sincerity and won't let you down."

From Zeng Zhiwei's point of view, the reason why Yu Yu complained about so much suffering was actually to claim credit and get some benefits from him.

This is good, at least this Yu always has something to ask for, and as long as there is something to ask for, things will be easy to handle.

"Mr. Zeng, you're being polite. It's all for the good of the movie, not for the company." Yu Yu smiled and said, "The two characters are very good, both are policemen, and they both have lines."

"How many lines are there?" Zeng Zhiwei asked.

"The two add up to about a dozen sentences."

Hearing the remaining words, Zeng Zhiwei on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment. He extinguished the half-burned cigarette in his hand, then took out a new one and lit it.

Hearing that Yu Yu was claiming credit like that before, he thought that Yu Yu had won him some good role, but who would have thought that it would be two tricks.

In fact, what Zeng Zhiwei wanted most was naturally the role of Han Chen, to be played by himself.

When he approached Liang Chaowei last time, he heard Liang Chaowei mention that Liu Weiqiang wanted him to play Han Chen before, but for some reason he failed.

This matter planted a nail in his heart, so he called Liu Weiqiang later, just to get this character back and pull out the nail in his heart.

Of course, if Deep Space doesn't give him Han Chen, but gives him a few other good roles, he can also give up Han Chen.

But now, Deep Space doesn't want to give him either Han Chen or other characters.

This is a bit deceptive.

Taking a puff of the newly lit cigarette, Zeng Zhiwei smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, are you kidding me? The people I recommend to you are not newcomers, they are very experienced, so they don't I can only play a role with a few lines."

"Mr. Zeng, although these two characters don't have many lines, "Infernal Affairs" is a group drama, there is no absolute protagonist, and the lines of the characters are not many. It is not easy to have a few lines. And I I also explained to you that the casting director has already decided on actors, and I spent a lot of hard work trying to get two out of them."

Of course Zeng Zhiwei didn't believe Yu Yu's rhetoric. Seeing that Yu Yu was still fooling him, his attitude changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yu, the mountains don't turn and the water turns. The Xiangjiang River is just so big. Everyone bow their heads and don't look up. There's no need to make you unhappy because of one or two characters. I told you last time that Chao Wei's body is not feeling well, so maybe I can't make your movie."

Threatened by Zeng Zhiwei again, the remaining good temper was also used up.

He, the dignified head of Deep Space China, was threatened by an actor, which made him feel both irritated and ridiculous.What is Xiangjiang's environment like that can make these actors so inflated.That's right, Zeng Zhiwei's father has some power, but now he has returned. From Yu Yu's point of view, Zeng Zhiwei should not only not be rampant, but should act in a low-key manner.

"Mr. Zeng, the company has been quite busy recently, and it is impossible for me to spend too much time on two roles in a certain movie. I will keep these two roles for you for three months. If you don't want them by then, Let's make arrangements ourselves." After saying this, Yu Yu laughed again: "Mr. Zeng, the outside world is very big, and sometimes when you open the window, you can see many different things."

After speaking, Yu Yu hung up the phone.

Zeng Zhiwei heard the blind tone on the phone and dialed back, but this time the call was transferred to Yu Yu's secretary.

"Hello, this is the general manager's office. Mr. Yu is busy now. If you have anything to do, I may make a record for you. After Mr. Yu finishes his work..."
