Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 310 Great Harvest, Preparing for a New Film!

May 3st, morning.

The movie "A Little Thing of First Love", which was screened in mainland theaters for more than a month, was officially withdrawn from theaters after earning 1.2 million box office.

Excluding the production and publicity expenses of the film, as well as the box office share with the theaters, Cao Jun's Century Film and Television Company earned more than 2000 million yuan with the movie "First Love".

The Huayi brothers also earned more than 1000 million from the movie "First Love".

The most interesting thing is Huang Lei, because he drank with Cao Jun, only invested 200 million yuan, and earned more than 300 million yuan without doing anything.

At the same time, the rating of "A Little Thing of First Love" on Douban.com also fluctuated around 8.5 points.

In Cao Jun's view, "A Little Thing of First Love" was able to get a score of 8.5 on Douban.com, which has exceeded his expectations and is much higher than he imagined.

Because under normal circumstances, a movie that can score more than 8 points on Douban is definitely an excellent movie, let alone 8.5 points.

The high score of 8.5 is the audience's recognition of the movie "First Love", the recognition of Cao Jun as the director, and the recognition of all the main creative staff.

In order to express his gratitude to the main creators of the crew, Cao Jun paid 100 million yuan out of his own pocket to reward all the people in front of and behind the stage including Wang Bingbing and Sun Li.

The least one staff member received 5000 yuan, and even more than 1 yuan.

Of course, Huang Lei was the happiest, earning 300 million yuan in such an easy way. It was really not too exciting, and it was the first time to experience the fun of investing in a movie.

However, Cao Jun is naturally the one who earns the most money, because he is the director, screenwriter, starring role, and fucking producer of the movie "First Love", he is definitely the biggest winner.

Moreover, Cao Jun also won the recognition of mainstream media and film and television circles with the movie "First Love".

Guoshi Zhang Yimou is one of the directors who like to work with big stars the most. After seeing Cao Jun's "First Love" and "Latent", he not only saw his acting skills, but also saw his box office appeal.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou initiated an invitation to Cao Jun, wanting to invite Cao Jun to play the leading role in the new movie.

Of course, when Zhang Yimou invites celebrities to cooperate, the most important thing is not to look at the other party's acting skills, but the popularity and popularity.

You know, before that, Zhang Yimou also collaborated with Jay Chou in "The Golden Armor" and with Takeshi Kaneshiro in "House of Flying Daggers".

"Ghost director" Tsui Hark also invited Cao Jun to star in his new film "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", and wanted Cao Jun to act as a supporting role for Andy Lau.

In addition, director Cheng Kaige also extended an olive branch to Cao Jun, wanting to invite Cao Jun to star in his new film "The Orphan of Zhao".

In addition to Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, Tsui Hark and many other well-known directors, many film and television companies have also sent invitations to Cao Jun.

And Cao Jun's salary also soared directly from 200 million yuan to 800 million yuan after "A Little Thing of First Love" broke [-] million yuan.

This is the market's pricing for Cao Jun.

If Cao Jun's next movie doesn't do well at the box office, then his salary will also drop rapidly.

At the same time, Cao Jun has also received drama appointments from major film and television companies, and there are as many as 30 dramas about the number one single man.

But Cao Jun has no plans to appear in these TV series, because so far, he has not come across a script that makes his heart move.

At this stage, Cao Jun no longer intends to act in TV dramas, unless he meets a good script and production team like "Latent", he will consider acting.

Moreover, Cao Jun also started planning to direct his second film within this year.

this evening.

Huang Lei asked Cao Jun again to drink at his house.

Huang Lei invited Cao Jun this time mainly because he wanted to continue to discuss cooperation with Cao Jun, and Cao Jun went to Huang Lei's house mainly to see Falcon Li.

Sun Li was also extremely happy to see Cao Jun visiting, but she couldn't show it, so she could only flirt with Cao Jun while Huang Lei was not paying attention.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Huang Lei asked through the alcohol: "Xiao Cao, are there any new electronics projects this year that I can invest in?"

Cao Jun thought for a while and said calmly, "Should be making a movie."

Huang Lei asked with great interest: "Are you directing and acting yourself again?"

Cao Jun denied it with a smile: "I probably won't act by myself."

Huang Lei asked puzzledly: "You are so popular now, why don't you act yourself?"

Cao Jun replied truthfully: "Because there is no role suitable for me in this movie, so I don't plan to act in it. Even if I do, it will be a cameo at most."

Hearing that Cao Jun said that he would not play the role, Huang Lei was a little disappointed, and immediately retreated. If Cao Jun played the role, at least the box office would be guaranteed.

If Cao Jun didn't play the role, then the box office of the movie would definitely be difficult to replicate the box office miracle of "A Little Thing of First Love".

It is very simple, the box office of the movie "A Little Thing of First Love" can exceed 1.2 million, or even reach [-] million box office. Apart from the fact that the movie itself is not bad, the main reason is that the director and starring role of this movie is Cao Jun.

If it were someone else in the entertainment industry, then if "A Little Thing of First Love" wanted to exceed [-] million, it would be tantamount to nonsense.

Huang Lei then asked: "Can you tell me what kind of movie it is?"

Cao Jun didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "If there are no accidents, it should be a comedy."

Huang Lei frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Comedy films? Comedy films are not easy to make or act..."

Cao Jun knows that comedies are difficult to shoot and act.

In the film circle, there is even a famous saying: "It is easy to make people cry, but it is very difficult to make people laugh."

It is even more difficult to make a film that has a good reputation at the box office.

Moreover, the most popular films in the mainland movie market are Feng Xiaogang's Feng's Drama and Ning Hao's Crazy Series.

In Huang Lei's view, it is much more difficult for Cao Jun to make a popular comedy than a youth romance movie.

But Cao Jun was very confident this time, and said to Huang Lei: "Mr. Huang, if you trust me, you can invest boldly. Whatever you invest, I will give you some share."

The key reason why Cao Jun was so generous to Huang Lei was because of Falcon Li. He only asked him to invest because of Falcon Li's face.

Huang Lei was a little hesitant, mainly because Cao Jun didn't play the role himself, and it was a completely different subject matter. He really didn't have confidence in Cao Jun's film.

Seeing that Huang Lei couldn't make up his mind, Cao Jun didn't force it. Anyway, we have already talked about this point. If Huang Lei missed the opportunity, it was because he didn't grasp it himself.
