Chapter 319 Shocking bet, box office in the second week (thanks to Lei Jian Nanshan for the reward)
Gu Chenfeng said a little dumbfounded: "There is no way, in the film industry, channels are king. They control the global distribution channels and theaters."

"I heard that if you can buy shares in theaters, you can avoid being stuck in distribution. Is that true?" Wang Yao asked.

"That's true!" Gu Chenfeng nodded, and then said with a wry smile: "Let's not talk about overseas theaters, even domestic theaters. It's not easy to get their shares."

Wang Yao waved her hand and said, "It's easy to solve domestic problems, but the key is foreign countries. I'll help you find out when the time comes. If there is a suitable one, you can buy some shares."

"By the way, do theaters make money?" Wang Yao asked again.

After all, she is not in this industry, so she doesn't know much about it. Even if someone in the Wang family is in the theater business, she hasn't asked about it.

At this time, Luo Qingcheng said: "What do you think? They don't release anything for a movie, and they don't have to take risks, but they have to take about 40% of the box office. They don't have to take risks, and they can still get stuck in the neck of the film production company. Can you not make money?"

"The movie "Operation Blade Red Sea" that you filmed together had a box office of 73 billion, right? In the end, my husband only got 33 billion, and most of it was divided up by the theaters except for taxes. You Are they making money or not?"

Speaking of this, Luo Qingcheng felt a little resentful, it was all the money that was distributed from her husband, or it could be said that it was distributed from her. "

Seeing Luo Qingcheng's appearance, Wang Yao joked: "Miss Luo, when did you value money so much? Are you short of money?"

"Although I'm not short of money now, but seeing so much money being distributed by others, I feel uncomfortable, right?" Luo Qingcheng said with his hands on his hips.

The speaker didn't mean it, but it sounded like he meant it. When these words reached Gu Chenfeng's ears, he suddenly had a bold idea.

Now he has also made a lot of money. In the company's account, basically all the proceeds from the previous films have been obtained, and the total is about 120 billion, so he can start to lay out the next theater.

Not just to make money, but also to prevent people from getting stuck in their own films in the future.

···
While Gu Chenfeng was discussing with Luo Qingcheng and Wang Yao about the theater chain.

Forced Wang Zhuole saw the box office of "Kung Fu Panda" in the first week, and ran out to act aggressive again.

I saw him write on Weibo: "Haha, I saw that "Kung Fu Panda" won 25 billion box office in the first week, and it is only less than 30 million box office from [-] billion. I ask you if you are afraid. Especially that one, your face, how is it now?"

When netizens saw Zhuo Le's Weibo post, they burst out laughing.

They knew that Zhuo Le would come out to pretend to be aggressive, but they didn't expect that he still didn't forget to mock Chen Gang.

So many netizens left messages in the Weibo comment area.

"Haha, I laughed so hard, I knew that the King of Kings would definitely come out to play tricks, and would continue to mock Chen Gang, and now it seems that it is so."

"It seems that the relationship between Chen Gang and Bi Wang is endless. Of course, if it were me, I would always mock Chen Gang. Who made him go so far!"

"Yeah, Zhuo Le must still have strength. After all, he came back from Hollywood. If he didn't have some strength, it would be impossible for him to cooperate with Mr. Gu to make the movie "Buried Alive" after returning to China."

"It's obvious that Chen Gang couldn't understand that Zhuo Le's limelight overwhelmed him, so he deliberately ridiculed it. It's just that Chen Gang didn't expect his own actions to arouse the disgust of everyone."

"Indeed, Chen Gang has never won since he had a conflict with Gu Chenfeng, and he was beaten badly every time."

"···"

When Chen Gang saw Zhuo Le's Weibo post, his expression was extremely ugly.

But he has nothing to do, because he has done everything he should and can do, but he still can't stop "Kung Fu Panda" from getting 25 billion box office in the first week.

Moreover, "Swordsman", which he personally helped to promote for free, only got 15 billion box office in the first week, which is a full billion less than others.

This is not in the ring at all, but being unilaterally KO'd by others.

However, although Chen Gang was very angry, he was still full of confidence in his new movie. He believed that his new movie could completely suppress Zhuo Le and Gu Chenfeng.

So, he wrote on Weibo: "Well, when my next movie is released, you will know what a real movie is. As for that so-and-so, hehe, you are just a joke."

Everyone never expected that Chen Gang would come out and post such a Weibo at this time.

Obviously he didn't realize his problem at all, he always felt that he was the most powerful, and now he had to continue the rhythm of Hard Steel Zhuo Le and Gu Chenfeng.

Netizens are looking forward to it.

Although Chen Gang is very confident in his new movie, many netizens still feel that it is impossible for him to make a comeback because of this movie.

Although Chen Gang's new movie invested [-] million yuan, Gu Chenfeng's new movie "Inception" had an investment of [-] billion yuan, and the investment difference between the two movies was [-] million yuan.

And judging from Gu Chenfeng's ability shown before, his script is very good. As long as there are no problems in the subsequent shooting, then "Inception" must have the potential to explode.

Another thing is that Chen Gang's current movie has the highest box office of only 40 billion, and none of them has reached the box office of 50 billion. However, Gu Chenfeng has several movies that have reached the box office of 50 billion, and there are even two movies. The box office exceeded 70 billion.

The total global box office of "Zootopia" is nearly 100 billion, reaching the 41st place in the global box office rankings. This is an achievement that Chen Gang can't even catch up with.

Just when netizens were expecting how Zhuo Le would respond to Chen Gang's Weibo, Zhuo Le was also thinking about how to respond.

It never occurred to him that Chen Gang would dare to stand up and make fun of him, completely disregarding him, and he was so confident in his new movie that he still felt that he was the best.

This made Zhuo Le very upset.

In his opinion, there is only one most powerful person in Huaguo's film industry, and that is Gu Chenfeng. As for Chen Gang, he is just a defeated man after all.

So Zhuo Le wrote on Weibo: "Hey, hey, you are so crazy, and you still don't want to count people at this time. If this is the case, let's take a gamble. You are very optimistic about your new play. I I'm also very optimistic about the new play of Mr. Gu and me, why don't we compare the box office of the two films?"

"It depends on whose box office is higher. If you lose, you will quit the film industry permanently. I don't know if a certain big director dares?"

For "Inception", a sci-fi movie with an investment of one billion, Zhuo Le is very convinced that as long as it is released, it will definitely shock the whole world.

As for Chen Gang's new movie, it wasn't that Zhuo Le looked down on him, he was not an opponent at all, that's why Zhuo Le dared to say such a thing.

I have to say that after his Weibo came out, netizens were a little scared.

To force the king is obviously not to leave a way out for himself.

Bi Wang and Chen Gang are both leaders in Huaguo's film industry. Although they don't want to admit it, Chen Gang does have strength, and Zhuo Le must also have strength.

In particular, the films he has made in recent years have completely saved the entire Chinese film industry and accounted for half of the industry.

But now such two people actually want to use the next movie as a bet, and whoever loses will permanently withdraw from the movie industry.

Netizens all believed that forcing the king to do this was to solve Chen Gang's trouble once and for all, so he didn't leave himself a way out at all.

If you bet 200 million or [-] million or [-] million, no one would think it crazy, but quitting the movie industry is really too big, no matter who loses, if they really quit the movie industry, That would be a loss to the Huaguo film industry.

Of course, there are also some netizens who have good deeds, and they all tweet about Chen Gang online, wanting to see if he dares to come out and take the bet.

After Chen Gang saw Zhuo Le's Weibo post, he was taken aback.

It never occurred to him that Zhuo Le would bet so big that he would not leave any future for the two of them.

Chen Gang is a leading figure in Huaguo's film industry. He has worked in this industry for decades, and he doesn't know what it means to be afraid.

And he is very confident in his movie, and he firmly believes that as long as this movie is released, it will definitely detonate Huaguo and even the whole world.

Yes, he is planning to release his new movie worldwide.

"Since you want to die, then I will help you, and I will let you know that in front of me, you are worthless at all, just a clown." Chen Gang snorted coldly.

Then he took out his mobile phone and wrote on Weibo: "Since you are so anxious to seek death, then I will naturally fulfill your wish, but I will add another one to the bet."

"That is, our box office is not only for the domestic market, but also for the whole world. To judge the winner or loser based on the total global box office results, I ask you if you dare?"

"If you dare, then I'll accept your bet. If you don't dare, then get out of here and don't embarrass yourself here."

Seeing that Chen Gang actually accepted the gamble, and even changed his bets, all the melon-eating netizens got excited.

At the same time, he also discovered that Chen Gang was clever, that is, he knew that in China, Gu Chenfeng's box office appeal was too terrifying. If Chen Gang wanted to win, the chances were very small.

But change that bet to the global box office, and there's no telling who wins or loses.

"Oh my god, I really didn't expect that Chen Gang actually came out and accepted this bet. These two people don't leave a way out for themselves!"

"Does Chen Gang want to cut off Mr. Gu's right-hand man? First clean up Zhuo Le, and then challenge Mr. Gu?"

"It's really possible. After all, Mr. Gu is just an actor. Although he has served as an assistant director, he has never seen him direct a movie. It would be a big loss if there is no Zhuo Le!"

"By the way, Chen Gang is a bit witty. When he pushed himself to a dead end, he made a decision that was most beneficial to him, and that was to determine the winner or loser based on the total global box office."

"How can someone who has been in the entertainment industry for decades be an idiot?"

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it now. Will Zhuo Le agree? You know, Mr. Gu's works are not only released in China. In an interview before, Mr. Gu plans to release "Inception" If it is released globally, if Zhuo Le really takes the bet, it may not be a good thing."

"Indeed, there are not many domestic films that can be screened globally, and now two domestic films have finally been screened globally, and the result is that their own people beat their own people."

"But if it is compared to the domestic box office, I dare say that let alone one Chen Gang, even ten Chen Gangs are no match for Mr. Gu, but internationally, Chen Gang's influence is still quite large, so the result is It's not easy to say."

"Now let's see if Zhuo Le, who has lost his greatest advantage, will agree."

"···"

Everyone is waiting for Zhuo Le's response.

Regarding the hot discussion on the Internet, Xu Zheng saw it by accident, and he was immediately taken aback.

He didn't expect Chen Gang and Zhuo Le to be so fierce, they directly bet on the global box office of the next movie, and the loser would quit the movie industry.

These two are simply crazy.

So he quickly called Gu Chenfeng, hoping that Gu Chenfeng could stop Zhuo Le.

After the call was answered, Xu Zheng immediately said: "Mr. Gu, have you seen the news on the Internet? Zhuo Le is crazy. He actually wants to bet with Chen Gang, and it's a life-and-death bet. Hurry up!" Persuade him to cancel the bet with Chen Gang quickly, no matter who wins or loses, it will be a loss to our Huaguo film industry."

"Besides, two domestic films went to the world film market to fight. Isn't this a joke for those overseas?"

Xu Zheng said a lot. Seeing that he was so anxious, Gu Chenfeng smiled and said, "Ah, is that right? Although I also want to organize Director Zhuo, I just told him, but he Don't listen to me, and it's not my turn to intervene now, after all, both of them have been witnessed by so many people on the Internet, and if both parties agree, it would be meaningless for me to intervene again."

Regarding the news on the Internet, Gu Chenfeng naturally saw it a long time ago, but he didn't say anything, because he was also very dissatisfied with Chen Gang's actions. In his opinion, he was already very low-key, but Chen Gang unexpectedly Provocation again and again.

Even the Buddha is about to lose his temper.

What's more, Gu Chenfeng is not a saint either, since he has already made his debut, if he admits it, he is not Gu Chenfeng.

When Xu Zheng heard it, he immediately said: "But is this really good? You know, the two of them have made great contributions to the Chinese film industry, and they are both considered to be half of the country. If there is really one person If you quit the film industry, I'm afraid even the Department of Culture would not want to see it!"

Xu Zheng really didn't want to see this kind of trouble between the new and old directors.

Gu Chenfeng explained: "There's no way, this is already going on forever, to be honest, not to mention Zhuo Le, even I have objections to Chen Gang, I've been keeping a low profile, but he still keeps provoking me, really When I have no temper?"

"Since he wants to fight based on the global box office, then I will accompany him, and it is worthwhile!" The latter sentence revealed Gu Chenfeng's strong self-confidence.

Xu Zheng was very helpless when he heard this.

Indeed, Chen Gang is mainly responsible for this matter. If it weren't for his repeated provocations, today's situation would not have occurred.

But when he thought of the bet, Xu Zheng still couldn't feel better, so after chatting with Gu Chenfeng for a few more words, he hung up the phone.

After Gu Chenfeng and Xu Zheng hung up the phone, they received another strange call.

"Hi, hello, I'm Gu Chenfeng."

"Mr. Gu, hello, I am Su Changde, deputy director of the Culture Department." A slightly old voice came from the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenfeng immediately said, "Hello, Deputy Director Su, may I ask if you are calling me at this time?"

Su Changde said straight to the point: "I know that Director Zhuo is the director of your Qingchen Entertainment. The bet between him and Director Chen is a big loss for our Huaguo film industry, no matter who wins or loses. And if the two compete in the international film market like this, it will make us laugh at us overseas."

As the highest institution in charge of Huaguo entertainment, the Department of Culture is very clear about these well-known actors, directors, entertainment companies, etc. in China.

Naturally, the Department of Culture also paid attention to things on the Internet, and what the Department of Culture considered was not a single person's gain or loss, but the prosperity of the entire Huaguo film industry.

After hearing clearly the purpose of Deputy Director Su's call, Gu Chenfeng pondered for a moment, and said: "Director Su, you originally called in person, so I should give you face and go to persuade Director Zhuo, but you You know, it’s not what we want to do.”

"And now that things have become so big, it's useless for me to persuade them, let alone..."

Having said that, Gu Chenfeng paused and did not continue.

Su Changde asked: "What's more?"

As for the cause of this matter, how could the Department of Culture not know, but Chen Gang is just a guy who doesn't get in, and his status in Huaguo's entertainment industry can be said to be at the level of a master, and the Department of Culture did not take him very well. way.

That's why Su Changde called Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng said in a deep voice: "What's more, the times are advancing."

What he meant was obvious, Chen Gang was already old, no matter how high his status in the entertainment circle was, he was still dominated by young people now.

Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Su Changde on the other end of the phone fell silent.

He knows that the current Gu Chenfeng has brought earth-shaking changes to the Huaguo film market. It can be said that the current prosperity of the film industry is all because of Gu Chenfeng.

Regardless of seniority, the importance of Gu Chenfeng is completely greater than that of Chen Gang.

Although Gu Chenfeng has not debuted for a long time, his achievements are definitely much higher than Chen Gang's, and the quality of Gu Chenfeng's works is also much better than Chen Gang's.

That is to say, Gu Chenfeng is young, and his connections in the entertainment industry are not as wide as Chen Gangguang.

After 1 minute, Su Changde sighed: "Okay, I got it! Although we don't want to see the two of you fighting, as long as it is within the scope of the rules, we will not force you to ask for anything."

"Thank you!" Gu Chenfeng thanked with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, the corner of Gu Chenfeng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer.

These people thought that "Inception" would definitely lose in the international film market?

But they were wrong. Overseas, Gu Chenfeng and Zhuo Le are not as well-known as Chen Gangruo at all, especially those who like animation movies know their names even more.

This can be seen from when I went to Hollywood to film "Tomb Raider Space".

Therefore, Gu Chenfeng was not at all worried that Zhuo Le would lose.

···
Zhuo Le couldn't help laughing after seeing Chen Gang's Weibo post.

I wanted to put some water on it, and I didn't want to sum up the global box office, because in his opinion, if the global box office is counted, then there is no need to compare, and "Inception" will definitely win.

But now Chen Gang took the initiative to take the initiative and said that the overseas box office is also counted. This is simply a dung beetle entering the toilet, courting death!

So Zhuo Le wrote on his Weibo: "Originally, I thought that everyone was from Huaguo, so I let the water go, but I didn't expect you to jump into the river yourself to die, then I will help you Now, so I take this bet, and use the global box office, whoever loses, get out."

Netizens were dumbfounded after seeing Zhuo Le's Weibo post.

Everyone didn't expect that Zhuo Le actually agreed, and also said so confidently that Chen Gang jumped into the river to seek death by himself when measured by the global box office?

Does Zhuo Le think that his winning rate is higher than the global box office?

In other words, he has an advantage over the global box office?

For a while, many netizens were looking forward to the final result, and many netizens wanted to see Gu Chenfeng respond.

After all, Zhuo Le is the director of Qingchen Entertainment Company, and also Gu Chenfeng's queen director. If he loses, he will withdraw from the film industry. At that time, wouldn't Gu Chenfeng lose an arm?

However, soon some netizens realized that the reason why Gu Chenfeng did not come out to speak out was because Gu Chenfeng acquiesced to Zhuo Le's actions, and he was very fond of Zhuo Le, or the movie "Inception". confidence.

I am so confident that whether it is domestic box office or overseas box office, it will definitely beat Chen Gang's new movie.

At the same time, some netizens also remembered that Gu Chenfeng's animated film "Zootopia" was very popular overseas at the beginning, and the reputation of Gu Chenfeng and Zhuo Le had already been established overseas.

When Chen Gang saw Zhuo Le's Weibo post, he sneered.

"Hehehe! Say I jumped into the river to seek death?"

"That's because you don't even know how much influence I have overseas."

Chen Gang is indeed very influential overseas. After all, he participates in so many overseas film festivals every year, so his popularity is still good, and he has also won many awards overseas.

These are simply not something that a brat like Zhuo Le can compare with.

Therefore, Chen Gang was not worried at all.

So he wrote on Weibo: "Hehe, let's wait and see, you just wait to get out of the film industry, don't play tricks when the time comes, everyone is watching you."

Netizens were a little surprised by Chen Gang's Weibo. They didn't expect that Chen Gang was not worried at all, but extremely confident.

So the netizens boiled up again, and sent this matter to the hot search on Weibo.

However, to everyone's surprise, no one in the entire entertainment circle spoke out about this matter on the Internet, as if they hadn't seen it at all.

However, the netizens felt relieved after thinking about it. After all, both parties involved are not easy to provoke. Needless to say, Chen Gang, even if it is Zhuo Le, behind him is Gu Chenfeng, the No. 1 in the Huaguo film industry. .

No matter what other people say when they come out, it will offend others, so they simply don't come out to speak.

As for the result, we will know in due course.

In the days that followed, almost all the hot searches and headlines on the Internet were dominated by this bet.

Especially the fans of Chen Gang and Zhuo Le have been fighting each other online, they are all supporting their directors, and they don't want to see the directors they support lose in this bet.

It can be said that even the popularity of Spring Festival movies has been greatly reduced because of this incident.

However, although the popularity of Spring Festival movies has dropped, the box office has not.

Soon, the box office for the second week will be released.

Gu Chenfeng's "Kung Fu Panda" earned [-] billion at the box office in the second week, ranking first. As for Xu Ke's "Swordsman", it only got [-] million in the second week, while Xu Zheng's "Jin Ji" In the second week, I got [-] million.

The total box office of "Kung Fu Panda" has reached 35 billion, fulfilling the 30 billion goal set by Gu Chenfeng ahead of schedule, and is heading towards Zhuo Le's 40 billion box office target.

"Swordsman" earned 20 million at the box office in the second week, and the total box office also reached [-] billion. This result is very good for Xu Ke, who is returning from the king.

The movie "囧囧" took in a total of 16 billion at the two-week box office, which is quite a lot. At least this wave of Xu Zheng has made a lot of money.

 Thanks for the reward of leisurely seeing Nanshan 1666+1666 book coins.
