The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 193

"The throne of film history champion is not something everyone can do. You are the one that everyone expects. Of course, a good movie must get a good box office. From now on, you will be the number one commercial director in our country... No, no, the more the daily limit, the pressure on me The bigger it is, the film and television industry is so hot now that it's like sitting on money... Director Chen, your new movie is kept a tight secret, and you don't leak a word?...Understand, the script is the foundation of a play, right? , It really needs to be polished, and now the audience's requirements for the quality of movies are indeed getting higher and higher..."

It was hard for Chen Jingxing to hang up the phone. He had received too many congratulatory calls in the past few days, but all of them were from big backgrounds, so he had to deal with it. The person who just called was the boss of Tianrun Pictures, and his tone was friendly and familiar , as if the two had a good friendship.

Although Tianrun and United Cinemas are still shareholders of DreamWorks, since the "Gravity" project failed to reach an agreement, and Chen Jingxing is engaged in animation and invested in Station C through credit financing, several shareholders of DreamWorks are very concerned about the project. There are opinions on this, but Huanshiwang and Penguin Video remained silent.

Tianrun and United Cinemas reacted more strongly.

Therefore, the relationship between the two parties is not as close as it was when "Signal" and "Source Code" were filmed, and certain cracks appeared.

But the box office of "Source Code" changed all of this. If there was not enough progress before, then after "Source Code" created a film history record, the bosses of the two major shareholders got enough opportunities to use congratulations to make up for the gap between the two sides. crack.

After Chen Jingxing drank a glass of water, he began to deal with the documents piled up in front of him, as well as Xu Wenshen who had been waiting for a long time on the opposite side.

With the release of "Source Code" coming to an end, DreamWorks' organizational structure has also begun a large-scale adjustment, not only to recruit a large number of people, expand departments - including the expansion of the subsidiary Mo, but also include many personnel changes, such as Xu Wenshen will Become the president of DreamWorks, and Chen Jingxing will become the chairman—of course, as a non-listed company, the board of directors to be established by DreamWorks is very simple, with only 4 people including Chen Jingxing and 5 shareholders, and there is no need to set up independent directors.

In fact, Chen Jingxing handed over the daily operation of DreamWorks to Xu Wenshen, which is why he believed that Xu Wenshen had such abilities and could shoulder such responsibilities.

Of course, this is not only the transfer of power, but also involves great interests. Xu Wenshen will also get a certain allotment of shares and subscription shares if he becomes the president - if DreamWorks can be listed in the future.

And for Xu Wenshen, this is basically the most glorious moment of his career. When he was in Tianrun Pictures, he was only a project producer. He did not expect that after being kicked out by Tianrun, he would become DreamWorks in less than two years. The president of DreamWorks, DreamWorks is currently the most shining star in the film and television industry. It may not be as large as Tianrun Films, but its influence on the industry is not lower than it. Just look at the so-called "dream concept stocks" in the past month. And the collective soaring of film and television stocks can be known.

Mr. Wu of Tianrun Pictures also mentioned in the phone call just now that he had called Xu Wenshen to congratulate him on his promotion, which is equivalent to Tianrun bowing his head first.

Before this, the two of them were kings and kings, and in terms of business, they were both Tianrun's film investment director who had been in contact with Xu Wenshen, and took the initiative to bow their heads to the scapegoat who had never paid attention to him. Mr. Wu of Tianrun was sure. It won't be good, probably after a few days of delay, I called Chen Jingxing again to reconcile.

Does the throne of No. [-] in film history really have such a big effect?
In fact, Chen Jingxing did not pay much attention to this name before, but now it seems that he has greatly underestimated its symbolic significance. After all, in the off-season of April and May, two films in succession have set box office records in film history. The clarion call to enter the film and television industry.

Some people in the industry may think that it is the special attributes of "Young Avengers" and "Source Code" that can achieve such an achievement, such as hype feelings, blockbuster special effects or movie quality, but there will definitely be many people, especially layman capital. It feels like the times make heroes, the film market has developed by leaps and bounds, and then I feel that I can do it myself.

That's why this is the scene of the collective soaring of film and television concept stocks.

However, Chen Jingxing still felt that the reaction of the outside world, especially the capital market, to the fact that "Source Code" became the top box office in film history was extremely abnormal.

Because he discovered that the A-share market has reached more than 5000 points. Although he was not a stockholder in his previous life, he still knows the reputation of big A-shares. A market with more than 5000 points is definitely not normal for A-shares.

And he remembered that there was a stock market crash in 2015 in his previous life.

I am afraid that the explosion is not far away now, but at this time he felt a little lucky that DreamWorks has not yet been listed, Chen Jingxing thought happily while looking at the documents.

Xu Wenshen, proud of the spring breeze, watched Chen Jingxing start to approve the documents and said, "Boss, Mr. Zheng of the Propaganda Department has proposed a plan, saying that he wants to plan another celebration banquet."

"The celebration banquet? Hasn't it already been held?" Chen Jingxing was a little puzzled.

The celebratory banquet with box office exceeding 15 billion has already been held, and now it has not reached 20 billion. What can we do?In fact, even if the box office has passed 20 billion, he doesn't want to do it again.

Xu Wenshen seemed to agree with this proposal: "Breaking the first box office record in Huaguo film history? This significance is much greater than other celebration banquets. In fact, this is the first proposal of Huanshi.com, and they still want to use it to hold A night of stardom, broadcasting live on the Internet is also a way to expand influence and integrate resources.”

"I refuse." Chen Jingxing replied without hesitation without even thinking about it: "Let him do it himself if Huanshiwang wants to hold a star night, and don't let them name us, especially Huaguo Titles like #[-] in film history."

Facing Xu Wenshen's doubts, Chen Jingxing confessed straightforwardly: "I don't think our record of being the number one box office in film history will last for a few months. I don't want to end up being ridiculed on the Internet like "Young Avengers."

The real reason why Chen Jingxing doesn't care about this No. [-] title in film history is that he thinks that this throne will be kicked down if his ass is not warm. To be honest, he wants the media and marketing accounts to keep a low profile, and stop speculating about any movies. recorded.

"How many months?"

Although I admire the accuracy of Chen Jingxing's prediction at the premiere of "Source Code", the 19 billion can only be maintained for a few months, which is still beyond Xu Wenshen's imagination. He knows that the Huaguo film market is growing rapidly, but the box office record in film history is Is it a bit too exaggerated to refresh three times in a year?

"Hey, "Legion of Super Heroes" will be released in June. How many years has Warner Bros. been preparing for this project? There is also "Monster Hunt" in the summer. If the box office of these two films finally exceeds 6 billion, I wouldn't find it weird at all."

Chen Jingxing added another sentence amidst Xu Wenshen's dumbfounded: "Do you have A shares in your hand? If you have any, listen to my advice and sell them quickly."
