Chapter 747 Extra 4 I don’t want to do it either, but he calls me Chairman Wei

Although it was regarded as the highlight of this year, unfortunately, a new movie "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" came out during the summer vacation.

In the face of this phenomenal movie, the highly anticipated National Day holiday inevitably seems a little bleak.

Although it stole the limelight, the overall performance of this year's National Day holiday was not bad.

从9月30号/10月1日开始，到10月7日国庆假期结束，国庆档总票房超过45亿+。

Putting aside the summer season, this long period of three months from early June to late August, this year's overall performance is inferior to the Spring Festival season. Compared with last year's National Day season, the total box office has more than doubled.

The blockbuster "My Country, My Parents" grossed nearly 20 billion yuan during the National Day holiday, and it is expected that the total box office will exceed 30 billion yuan without any problem.

"The Captain" is not much inferior, following closely with a box office of about 17 billion+, and the total box office is expected to be 25 billion to 30 billion.

To be honest, many people did not expect this data.

This disastrous theme can be compared with the previous summer blockbuster "The Bravest". Considering the cast, schedule, publicity and many other factors, the lower limit would be good, but it is generally believed to be around 10 to 15 billion, and at most 20 billion would be the limit. Unexpectedly, it went for less than 30 billion.

On the contrary, another movie that gathered many big names, "The Climbers", starring international stars such as Zhang Ziyang, Hu Ge, and Zhen Zidan, was thought to be the second most popular movie during the National Day holiday, but it performed abnormally, with both word-of-mouth and box office being unsatisfactory.

The National Day box office is expected to be over 5 million, and the total box office is expected to be around 10 billion. The details will depend on the follow-up, but judging by the trend, it's not bad.

Ranked fourth is "Blooming Silk Road".

In fact, the performance can only be described as average, with a box office of 3.5 million during the National Day holiday and an estimated total box office of 5 to 8 million.

Considering that the cast is mainly composed of newcomers to the film industry, the costs are relatively well controlled, and the word of mouth is also decent, it is slightly more impressive than "The Climbers". Many media and even institutions put it in third place when taking stock.

He led the production of two films, one was a huge hit, and the other made money and had a good reputation, and the investment he participated in also became a hit.

Blue Whale's performance in this year's National Day holiday can be described as a complete victory, and it was the only one to seek defeat.

Perhaps they felt that the possibility of hitting the 30 billion box office was not high, or perhaps they were afraid that it would clash with the 30 billion+ celebration party of Blue Whale's "My People, My Country" and steal all the attention.

In mid-October, Bona took the lead in holding a celebration banquet for "The Captain" in Beijing.

Boss Wei, who had not yet finished his affairs in Beijing, was naturally also invited.

Fatty Yu blocked the door with the invitation, and since Boss Wei did make some money from the movie and had the time, he simply accepted it.

However, on the day of the celebration banquet, Boss Wei was still late.

During this period, he has been traveling to Beijing, one of the reasons being that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards will begin in December.

After Boss Wei took office as the chairman of the Film Association, he began to implement reforms of the two awards. One of them was to change the two awards from being held every two years to being held every year.

As I said, giving out awards every two years will reduce one's own influence and exposure, and will also affect credibility and value.

It would have been fine in the past, but now that the Golden Horse Awards have been banned, the Golden Rooster Awards wanting to become the top Chinese-language film award and holding it every two years is pure idiocy.

In fact, promoting this reform is not as difficult as Boss Wei thinks.

Boss Wei's strength and prestige in the industry are there, and those old stubborn people and experienced people are not fools.

You may talk about how the specific awards are given out, and there may be some story behind it, but the Golden Horse Awards failed and the Golden Rooster Awards took advantage of the situation to rise. This is a good thing for everyone and no one would be stupid enough to stop it.

Besides, the Golden Rooster Award has not always been held every two years. Before 2005, it was held once a year, so this can be considered a restoration of tradition.

Even if there was no Boss Wei in the previous life, after the Golden Horse Awards were abolished, the Golden Rooster Awards successfully promoted the reform to be held once a year.

The appearance of Boss Wei made the reform of the Golden Rooster Awards easier, and the Hundred Flowers Awards were also reformed.

This is a new breakthrough in this time and space. In the previous life, the Hundred Flowers Awards were still held every two years after the Golden Rooster Awards reform. For this reason alone, Boss Wei's position as the head of the Film Association is not in vain.

But reforms are a lot of work and a lot of trouble!
For example, there was a debate for nearly two months on whether the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards should be held separately or together.

Once the decision is made to hold them separately, the Golden Rooster Awards are easy to deal with as they were originally scheduled to be held this year and can proceed as planned. But the Hundred Flowers Awards are moved forward a year and preparations have to be accelerated. Various rules also have to change accordingly, and the registration of crews and public voting also need to be properly promoted.

Moreover, the way the Film Association does things is different from how Boss Wei does in the company.

Boss Wei has the final say in the company. He gives direct orders for everything. If the work is done well, he will reward it. If the work is not done well, he will punish it. If it really doesn't work out, he will replace the person.

The Film Association is semi-official in nature, with many senior veterans working there, and some of the staff working on a voluntary basis. The internal structure and relationships are also sensitive and complex, so Boss Wei cannot do things too simply and crudely, and there are many things he needs to consider.

Fortunately, Boss Wei is able to use a dimensionality reduction attack, and he is well connected both inside and outside the company, and he has money and connections, otherwise he would really be worried to death.

Even so, Boss Wei occasionally couldn't help but complain to Fan Xiaopang and Zhao Liying that he really had nothing better to do than to take this position.

However, having said that, he never missed a meeting, just because he was willing to hear the words "Chairman Wei".

This may be the genes of people from Shandong Province. Confucius took his disciples to various countries to take exams...

...

Wei Yang got out of the car and entered the hotel where the celebration party was held, led by bodyguards and waiters. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Fatty Yu and two Bona executives came to greet him.

"Sorry, Mr. Yu, I was delayed by a meeting and am late."

"Oh, what you said, Mr. Wei, you are very busy every day, and you are giving us face by coming here."

Wei Yang and Fatty Yu were familiar with each other, so he joked, "Why does this sound like sarcasm?"

Fatty Yu felt wronged: "Are you kidding? Do I have the guts to do that? I really mean it. I'm also in the Film Association, so don't I know how busy you are?"

"Anyway, I'm late. I'll punish myself with a drink later."

"I'll accompany you. I don't go to the Film Association very often, and you've been supporting me all the time. It's been so hard."

After a few pleasantries, Fatty Yu led Boss Wei into the banquet hall. What surprised Wei Yang was that the ice sculpture that represented a box office of more than 22 billion yuan had not been smashed yet.

The original plan was to wait for Boss Wei to come and smash it together. He is also the producer and supervisor of the movie "The Captain".

But because Wei Yang was late, he greeted Fatty Yu and told them not to wait for him. Anyway, his role as producer was just a figurehead, and the executives of Blue Whale could take his place as producer.

He never thought that even after he greeted him, Fatty Yu would actually choose to wait until he arrived.

Tsk tsk, Wei Yang is convinced, this Fatty Yu really knows how to lick...

At the Fatty's kind invitation, Boss Wei went on stage and smashed the ice sculpture together, completing the missing process of the celebration banquet.

The media who came to interview him said a few official words, and then Boss Wei went to the main table to eat.

After being in a meeting for most of the day, he was hungry!

However, with his status in the current situation, he is like a night pearl in the dark night, and he can't even eat in peace.

First, executives from several companies that participated in the investment, such as Alibaba and Wanda, came to visit, followed by a few old friends who came to attend the celebration banquet, and then there were the usual greetings.

Even Fatty Yu personally brought two people over to toast Boss Wei.

Ou Hao and Zhang Tianai
Wei Yang raised his hand to stop the two from introducing themselves and looked at them with a smile.

"Although we are not familiar with each other, we have met more than once, so there is no need to introduce them." Fatty Yu was curious: "Boss Wei has met these two before."

"Ou Hao came to my crew for an interview, and he also greeted me at several previous events. I think we had dinner together. I remember it was with LeTV's Lao Jia."

Zhang Tianai nodded obediently, revealing a bit of admiration and the joy of being remembered: "It was also in Beijing at that time. Mr. Jia hosted the meal, and I and Sister Gan Wei had the honor of having a meal with you."

"It's just a meal, it's not that exaggerated."

Wei Yang waved his hand and looked at Fatty Yu: "What's the matter? You have two new generals under your command."

Fatty Yu touched his belly and didn't say anything, just chuckled.

Most people wouldn't be brought to Boss Wei by Fatty Yu in person to show off their talents. He must have been working for Bona and at least signed part of the contract.

Boss Wei was not surprised.

Ou Hao was a well-known "resource guy" in his previous life. It is not clear whether he has a financial sponsor Wei Yang, but his films are mainly from the Bona series.

He, Huang Jingyu and Du Jiang are also called the "Three Sons of Bona" by many people, and are active in most of the films produced by Bona.

Boss Wei doesn’t know much about Zhang Tianai. She is indeed not famous enough, but in her previous life, she participated in many Bona films, so she should have signed a contract or cooperated with Bona.

At this stage, the signing, joining and cooperation between entertainers and entertainment companies are becoming more and more complicated.

The management contract of a famous artist can even be divided into several parts and operated jointly by several companies, with different durations. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the specific company and related contract of the artist.

However, since Fatty Yu was able to bring these two people in front of him, I think he has a close relationship with Bona and is relatively supportive of them.

At this stage, Bona’s top male star is Zhang Hanyu, and the top female star can be said to be Zhang Ziyi or Yuan Quan.

Zhang Ji and Bona are collaborators and have a high degree of autonomy, so they cannot be completely considered as Bona’s own people.

Yuan Quan is a fully signed artist of Bona. She played the leading female role in "The Captain" and received good reviews. I think she will continue to be promoted.

However, these two are talented and middle-aged people. As a smart person like Yu Pangzi, he must understand the benefits of cultivating the new generation and traffic artists. Ou Hao and Zhang Tianai are the ones he is optimistic about.

After swiping their faces, the two of them toasted Boss Wei respectfully, and Wei Yang took a sip to give him face.

Fatty Yu seemed to see that Wei Yang was not very interested in Ou Hao, so he drove him away.

As for Zhang Tianai, Fatty Yu said that he had to greet the guests coming and going, for fear of mistreating Boss Wei, so he arranged someone to serve tea and water so that he could feel at ease.

Boss Wei looked at him speechlessly. I used her to serve tea and water, and treated the waiter next to me as a decoration.

Fatty Yu is so shameless: "It's good to chat and relieve boredom."

Wei Yang was convinced. This fat guy just liked to play this trick on him. Sooner or later, Zhao Liying and Fan Xiaopang would bear a grudge against him and join forces to trip him up.

Having said that, Wei Yang didn't let Zhang Tianai go, mainly because he was afraid of losing face. He didn't have any other thoughts.

The waiter added a seat and Zhang Tianai sat next to Boss Wei. She was also very tactful. Wei Yang didn't speak a word and didn't take the liberty to talk to her.

After the fat man left, seeing that Boss Wei seemed hungry, he took new chopsticks and helped Boss Wei pick up dishes, remove bones, de-thorns, and peel shrimps. If there was something Wei Yang liked but was cold, he asked the waiter to heat it up, add some water or wine from time to time, and hand him a tissue, etc.

If it were someone else, being taken care of so meticulously by a great beauty or even a female star would have made them blush, their heart beat fast, and they would even be flattered.

Boss Wei was very calm, as he was already used to this kind of treatment.

He has enjoyed more meticulous service from female stars who are more popular and beautiful than Zhang Tianai, and even had sex with her, so this little occasion is nothing.

"Don't mention it, you are quite suitable to be a waiter."

After taking the tissue from Zhang Tianai, Boss Wei wiped his mouth and finally spoke.

Although this little scene was nothing to him, Zhang Tianai's work was indeed very meticulous, and her posture and expression were very appropriate. Even Boss Wei felt a little ripple in his heart. If it were another man, he would have been caught off guard.

Zhang Tianai smiled shyly: "Thanks to your good words, if I can't be an actor in the future, I will always find a suitable job."

Wei Yang shook his head and didn't say anything else. Seeing some guests smoking in the banquet hall, he also felt a little itchy.

He went to a meeting of the Film Association today. He didn't bring his cigar with him and was too lazy to ask the waiter for one, so he asked the guest next to him and borrowed a box of Yunnan Yunnan cigars.

Zhang Tianai got angry just as she was smoking a cigarette. Wei Yang really wanted to ask her if she wanted to be his assistant. The annual salary could be discussed.

In fact, his assistants did a good job, and were even more competent, but they were obviously not as pleasing to the eye as this one…

Perhaps because they saw Zhang Tianai and Boss Wei were "getting along so well", many people were discerning enough not to come and disturb them.

But when there are more than a hundred people, there are all kinds of people, and there are always some "short-sighted" ones who come and spoil the view.

Boss Wei was chatting with Zhang Tianai in a casual manner when Li Xin, who also starred in "The Captain", also came over.

Li Xin had previously acted in "Chi Le Chuan" and was an acquaintance of Boss Wei. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, this girl actually refused to leave and, like Zhang Tianai, added a seat and sat on the other side of Boss Wei.

This is eye-catching!

One girl is romantic, but two girls are jealous and there will be a fire in the backyard.

The other people in the banquet hall instantly became excited. Could it be that there was going to be some big news today?

Zhang Tianai was very unhappy about Li Xin's interfering behavior, but she was not sure what the relationship between Li Xin and Boss Wei was. She was afraid that Li Xin would become Boss Wei's new favorite because of "Chi Le Chuan", so she took advantage of it.

Boss Wei was also slightly stunned by Li Xin's behavior. He thought that Fatty Yu had provided him with a supreme stewardess service, but he quickly reacted.

Not to mention whether Fatty Yu has this ability, even if he does, it is impossible for him to let Li Xin come over without saying hello to him.

It could only be Li Xin's spontaneous behavior, but Wei Yang knew very well that he and Li Xin were absolutely innocent.

The latter had not shown any attentive behavior towards him in "Chi Le Chuan" before. Even if Tang Yan was hiding her inner thoughts and had some ulterior motives, she would not have suddenly behaved so radically today.

So, there is only one reason why it is so abnormal now.

"Who assigned you this job?"

Li Xin was not surprised that Wei Yang could guess it, and she just apologized with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wei, I can't help it."

After saying that, she took out her cell phone. Wei Yang glanced at it and frowned.

Wow, there are four chat partners pinned on WeChat, namely Tang Yan, Da Mimi, Zhao Liying and Guli Nazha.

Double agent!
Li Xin raised her hand with a bitter face to show her innocence: "I didn't say anything. Sister Tang, Sister Zhao and Naza took the initiative to contact me, and then Sister Mi added me through Sister Tang."

After hearing this, Boss Wei knew who came up with this trick from Li Xin without even asking.

Only Da Mi Mi can be so mean!

Zhang Tianai, who was standing next to him, turned pale. Oh my god, I didn't expect these people to have so many informants. I hope I won't be on the blacklist...
