You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 99 The box office breaks 2 million!Horizontal pressure Xiaogang Yimou ([-] monthly tickets plus more)

Beijing, an office building in Zuojiazhuang Street, Chaoyang District.

Wang Qiankun did not expect that he owns so many houses, and now he is reduced to renting a house.

There is no way, the company has been established, and there are more and more employees, it is not suitable to continue to work in Dawang Cinema, so he rented such a place, he wants to buy it, and he is willing to collect rent if it is not sold.

This place is not bad. Many companies in the same industry are nearby. In the opposite building is Huayi Brothers. Feng Kuan had to call him Master Kun when he saw him 20 years ago. Now he has become a big director.

For so many years, I have been cultivating my moral character and cultivating my sentiments. I didn’t expect to start a business again for my son at the age of 50.

The theater company was established, and the distribution company was acquired. The name Qiankun Films was already inappropriate, so it was upgraded to Qiankun Culture Co., Ltd.

What business can do TV dramas, movies, commercials, MVs, wedding photography, etc., what stands out is that a culture is limited.

Now Lao Wang feels that he is also a rising entertainment tycoon. When the company grows bigger, Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong, and Wang Zuxian will all be invited to film, and the three will come together!

However, Wang Qiankun was also reluctant to part with the easy days before, so he trained three generals to serve him and share his work.

The first one is Manager Ruan of the former Dawang Cinema, who is now the general manager of Dawang Cinema.

The second is the general manager of the acquired distribution company, Manager Xi who is now in charge of Qiankun Distribution.

The third one is Manager Duan, who is in charge of film and television production. He is Wang Quan's old senior at Nortel.

With Ruan Xi and Duan Sancai, why worry about major failures!

Of course, Manager Ruan has been with him the longest and is still his confidant, and now his confidant has come to visit.

"Boss, come out, come out!"

Wang Qiankun asked him to keep an eye on the North American box office data of "[-] Cloverfield Road", and it seemed that the results had come out.

"How many?"

"860 million US dollars! A very impressive result!" Manager Ruan smiled brilliantly.

Lao Wang laughed after hearing this. The cost of the film was only 300 million knives, and it was paid back in one day. He is indeed my son!

Of course, the account cannot be calculated in this way. After all, Paramount spent 2000 million yuan to buy the movie, and then invested a lot in publicity and distribution. blood earned.

Manager Ruan, "Then I'll contact the newspaper to get the good news now!"

"Wait a minute!" Wang Qiankun thought of a question, "How much RMB is this money equivalent to now?"

Manager Ruan's brain turned quickly, and he immediately had the answer, "6708 million, if this is based on last year's exchange rate, it can reach 7000 million!"

Wang Qiankun, "Then write it like this. Congratulations to director Wang Quan's new film, which broke 6700 million at the US box office on its first day!"

Of course, whichever number is bigger will be used. If it breaks 1 million yen at the neon box office, he will definitely use 1 million yen.

"Tall, you're still tall, boss!" Manager Ruan hurriedly went to deal with it.

Afterwards, Wang Qiankun called Manager Xi again, and now he is out drinking with the bosses of various theaters for the release of "No. [-] Cloverfield Road".

The characteristic of Manager Xi is that he can drink a large number of cups without getting drunk, and now he has to drink up the theater manager to run the distribution. If the former boss did not act, he felt that he would definitely be able to make the company bigger and stronger. Now under the command of Boss Wang, Manager Xi only feels that he has finally met the Ming Lord and is willing to worship him as his uncle. His aunt has been widowed for many years.

Then Manager Duan from the production department also came over, "Boss, today is another wedding video job. I am a high-achieving student from Nortel, and I have also been a producer. This is too embarrassing."

"Duan, don't worry, you know who my son is, he will return to China in a few days, and then you can have a good chat with him, you will definitely be able to talk about the project, and this time the one who is getting married is my dance partner. Son, I can't push it away, be considerate, be considerate."

Manager Duan thought to himself: This time it was a dance partner, last time it was a poker friend, you must have too many friends as a middle-aged woman!

After dismissing Manager Duan, someone knocked on the door again. A quiet girl with glasses pushed the door in and called out, "Second Uncle."

"Chu Ling, come here quickly, you have been working hard during this time." Wang Qiankun smiled and beckoned his niece to sit down.

He has a brother, a sister, a younger brother and a younger sister. This is his sister's only daughter, Chen Chuling, who is also the number one student of their old Wang family. She studied law at the University of Political Science and Law, which is the pride of the old Wang family.

Chen Chuling is slightly younger than Wang Quan in the same age, and she is a junior this year. The company has recently recruited a lot of people, and she helped to draw up the contracts, not for nothing, but for money.

"Second Uncle, your company should hire a professional legal counselor. I'm going to be a senior soon. I'm so tired!"

"You are still tired of making money, do you still want to buy a house in the capital?"

Chen Chuling, "But you don't give me as much as my brother. His work is still easy."

The "my brother" she is talking about here is naturally Wang Quan. Wang Qiankun poured a cup of tea for his niece, "What did he ask you for?"

Chen Chuling, "Let me help him buy the film and television adaptation rights of the novel."

"Oh! What novel?"

~
""Twilight", yes, that's right, the copyright of this novel is in our hands!"

Facing the reporter's question, Dorothy said it very proudly. Just last month, the second part of the "Twilight" series "New Moon" was released, which once again successfully detonated the youth market. Weekly No. [-] position on the New York bestseller list.

Dorothy let out some rumors and attracted reporters, and then she began to publicize how many plans are being developed in the follow-up of Dragon Head Up, such as Escape Room, Juno, Twilight, The Hangover and other series of original works by Director Wang. The works, which look like they are about to flex their muscles, have created a momentum for the company to take off.

After all, the company's ace director Wang Quan already has a masterpiece, and the box office and word-of-mouth of "[-] Cloverfield Road" are enough to prove his strength.

It was only released for two days, and the box office has reached 1800 million US dollars. On the second day, it even beat "Cars" and won the daily box office champion.

Movies in North America are usually released on Fridays. For new movies, the box office is the highest on Friday, and it decreases on Saturday and Sunday. For old movies, it is the highest on Saturday.

This is the case with "Fast and Furious 3". It was 950 million on the first day, and fell to 800 million on the second day. It is in line with the curve of a mediocre commercial blockbuster. You must know that the cost of this movie is 1.2 million knives. Such performance can already be declared Failed.

The box office of "Ten Cloverfield Lane" is almost the opposite of that of "Fast and Furious 3", and it is stronger on Saturday.

On the Rotten Tomatoes website, film critics gave it a freshness rating of 80%, while movie fans gave it a 93% freshness rating. The IMDB score is 8.1!

A well-known film critic Luke Edkins praised the film after receiving the money: This is an unparalleled film debut, King David has made a good start for his director career, and he will be the next Yusen Wu Of course, I am referring to Wu before "Windtalker".

Those who confiscated the money praised it even more. Ava Jeffries, a contributor to the "New York Observer", commented on the film: This movie gave me respect, because the director did not treat me as a fool, and every reversal was unexpected. Unexpectedly, I felt great pleasure, as if Gao Chao, I love this exquisite movie to death!

All signs prove that this is a movie with a double-boom at the word-of-mouth box office.

Dorothy naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to publicize the royal power to the media, and at the same time publicize the rise of the dragon to prepare for raising funds in the future.

Now that the company wants to build its own distribution network, it cannot do without film distribution, so it must expand its film sources. Wang Quan can shoot some, or even write some for others to shoot, but it is still far from enough. Dorothy has to buy films for the distribution department. There is work to do.

It is much more difficult to distribute movies in North America than in China, and it cannot be done by drinking.

Since buying a movie requires money, the three melons in their hands can't be played at all, so she put the royal power and the Twilight signboard here, hoping that people of insight can wave the money and spread it. currency.

It would be even better if "No. [-] Cloverfield Lane" can win the box office champion in the first weekend. Unfortunately, "Cars" is still too strong, and it came back on Sunday, and still dominated the weekly box office chart in the second week.

And on Sunday, "No. 905 Cloverfield Lane" earned 2705 million box office, and earned [-] million dollars in the first three days of the weekend, ranking first among new films!

And the domestic box office has just been updated to the next day's box office.

After receiving Wang Qiankun's instructions, Manager Ruan continued to communicate with the newspaper, so that day, the common people in the capital city could read in the newspaper that "Director Wang Quan's new film won the daily box office championship in the United States, with a box office of 1.4 million in two days!" ", the online media also reposted and reported the news one after another, and the popularity of the royal power rose again for a while.

Sina Entertainment: Director Wang Quan's debut debut debuted in the United States, surpassing [-] million in two days, surpassing Keanu Reeves' new work and "Fast and Furious" sequels and other new and old movies, invincible!
Tianya Forum: Here are the pirated resources of "Ten Cloverfield Road", if you want to see it!Hands are fast and hands are slow!
Reply +999! "Damn, liar, isn't this a gourd baby!"

Sohu video "Entertainment Today Review", "I am the host of the big tent, it's incredible, my friends, director Wang Quan is popular in the United States, his movie box office broke 1.4 million in two days, reaching a terrifying 1.2 million! What is this concept, Feng Xiaogang The box office of "A World Without Thieves", which the director gathered big stars such as Andy Lau, Ge You, and Li Bingbing, was [-] million!"

"Nonsense, he is confusing concepts. Comparing the box office in the mainland with the box office in North America is just messing around!" Inside Huayi Brothers, Feng Xiaogang was very dissatisfied after seeing the news on Sohu. It’s released in North America, so it’s not sure who will win.”

"That's right, Director Feng plans to release "The Banquet" overseas this time, and I've already contacted Harvey from Weinstein Films." Wang Zhonglei from Huayi Brothers said with a smile.

Feng Xiaogang's face looked better now, um, it's actually not easy to see, after all, the foundation is just like that.

But he is really looking forward to the performance of "The Banquet" in North America. Lao Mouzi's "Hero" can earn more than 5300 million dollars, and now a few years later, Ziyi is getting more and more popular abroad, and she has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award , Yan Zuna is basically a native of the United States, so his film should not be bad.

Of course, he hopes that the North American box office of "The Banquet" will surpass King Quan's "No. [-] Cloverfield Drive". Don't say that he bullies you with big stars, your film is in English and you have an advantage.

It’s no wonder that he wants to suppress the royal power, it’s because he’s so irritating. Today when he came here, he happened to meet Wang Qiankun downstairs, and he called out “pants pants”. !
Wang Qiankun doesn't care about the mood of a Feng trouser, you don't call me master when you are successful, but you still want me to call you director?

Now Wang Qiankun is in a good mood, just wait for the box office of "No. [-] Cloverfield Road" to be released on the third day, and it will probably be in the early [-] million by then.

It's a pity that a little over 2.6 million is still not enough. It would be great if it could reach [-] million. At that time, the media should use Zhang Yimou's "Hero" as an analogy.

Unexpectedly, it really made his wish come true. On this day, he not only waited for the box office results of "Ten Cloverfield Lane" in the first weekend of 2705 million US dollars in the first weekend, but also waited for the global box office of "Ten Cloverfield Lane" Battle situation!

Although "No. 3500 Cloverfield Lane" failed to be released simultaneously globally, it was also released simultaneously in Maple Leaf Country and several South American countries at the same time. On the whole, the global box office in the first week was as high as [-] million US dollars!

The equivalent RMB is 2.7 million yuan!

Super, super "hero"!

There are really media reports like this, headline party, any time, fortunately Lao Mouzi didn’t see it, otherwise he would spit out a mouthful of blood, you use the box office in North and South America to beat me at the box office in the mainland, you are shameless!

Although Zhang Yimou did not respond, his "good partner" Zhang Weiping would not let go of this good opportunity to operate. He accepted the media interview on the same day and aimed directly at Wang Qiankun. "The global box office of "Hero" is 1.77 million US dollars. It’s 14.5 billion RMB, so let’s talk about it first if you exceed this number.”

Zhang Weiping is very treacherous. He did not compare the North American box office with "Ten Cloverfield Road", because he knows that it is easy for the North American box office of "Ten Cloverfield Road" to surpass the 5300 million North American box office of "Hero", so he compares it with the global box office. , the world is definitely better than "Hero".

However, it is not Zhang Weiping’s purpose to argue with Wang Qiankun, his purpose is in the second half of the interview, “Also, Director Zhang’s latest epic masterpiece "Curse of the Golden Armor" will hit the global box office at the end of the year, and the director is busy working without sleep and food In the later stage, everyone is welcome to come to the cinema to support it, I can guarantee that this is a brilliant masterpiece that surpasses "Hero", and it will definitely make people unforgettable!"

Wang Quan also saw Zhang Weiping's interview, um, it is indeed unforgettable, Wuji is a steamed bun, you count how many steamed buns are in the golden armor, can I forget!
Wang Qiankun called him and told him about it, and the old man was very unconvinced, "Son, can your movie box office exceed 1.77 million dollars?"

Wang Quan replied honestly, "It should not be surpassed."

Wang Qiankun did not give up, "What about the next movie?"

"Escape Room"?Wang Quan thought for a while, "It's not very safe."

"Then what about the lower part, aren't you ready to shoot?"

"Juno," King Quan replied, "I can't be sure."

"Ah?" Wang Qiankun was dumbfounded, "Is it so difficult to exceed 1.77 million?"

Yes, if you don't count "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is a freak of Chinese and Western hybrids, "Hero" is the box office king of pure Chinese films. It is a big hit in Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Without the blessing of the North American market, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is not an opponent.

Wang Qiankun sighed, "Then when will you be able to surpass Zhang Yimou?"

Wang Quan's tone was relaxed, "Next year it will be fine~"
