Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 217
"Animal World" has become the domestic film with the best first-day score this year with a first-day score of 570 million.

The next day's daily income was 810 million, and it reached 1380 million in the first weekend.

You know, these two days are still working days after the day off!

During the seven-day holiday, "Animal World" will definitely achieve better results.

Seeing this result, the thighs of the bosses who withdrew from the investment almost snapped.

Wang Zhonglei misread again, but he passed the blame to the production team:

"What did I say at the time! I said vote, just squeeze 800 million to 1000 million from anywhere. You insist that "Mo Gong" needs money, and "Mo Gong" is short of my 1000 million?

"It's the second time. Last time, he was a novice in "Rising Fame". I don't blame you if we didn't vote. What lineup is "Animal World"? Director Xu Ke, Zhang Yuanjun, Liu Yifei, Xia Yu, are popular and powerful. , How did you evaluate it at the beginning.

"Your department will write an inspection, and we will hold a meeting next week to conduct a public review. Some of us really have problem thinking, and we just want to make blockbuster movies. It is true that blockbuster movies can make money, but there are still a few who can make blockbuster movies. The number is the largest in the market. The film is still a small and medium-sized investment film, and we can’t release this piece. Don’t look at us as the number one in China, do you think this number one is so easy to sit in? We can be said to be surrounded by powerful external enemies, and the market is getting bigger and bigger. There are more and more companies joining in, how long can our advantages last?

"There must be a crisis ceremony, comrades."

After the meeting, Wang Zhonglei said to his secretary, "When will he return to the capital?"

"On the night of the 14th, he is rehearsing at the 15th theater and must be there."

"Ask him to have dinner on the 14th."

The secretary reminded him: "Mr. Wang, why don't we go directly to the road show to block him. He is in Chang'an on the 1st."

Wang Zhonglei thought for a while and said, "No. 1 is too late, where is No. 2?"

"Jinyang."

"We will go to Jinyang to meet him on the 2nd."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with his company."

If a movie can become popular, the director will usually give the greatest credit.

But the industry will not look at the problem so superficially. Of course, the Xu class is very important.

But many people know that the operator behind "Animal World" is Zhang Yuanjun's studio.

They bought the copyright of the original work, and they organized the script. Besides Xu Ke's team, they also organized the crew.

Shanghai Film is only responsible for giving money and publicity, and does not take care of shooting matters.

Xu Ke was at a low point in his career at the time, and he promised the director of "Animal World" that he didn't make any moves.

Therefore, the real core of this project is actually Zhang Yuanjun-but his name will not be included in the producer and producer list.

Many unidentified investors went to Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng purely to pray for a child in Guandi Temple—worshiping the wrong god.

But how could Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng let go of such an opportunity, you worshiped the wrong god, but I will accept the incense money-Xu Ke's new film "Women Are Not Bad" took this opportunity to make a fortune.

Entering the long holiday, on the first day, "Animal World" handed in 1330 million answers.

The next day, 1710 million was collected.

Huayi failed to make an appointment with Zhang Yuanjun on the 2nd, but at 11 o'clock in the evening on the [-]rd, Wang Zhonglei met Zhang Yuanjun at the hotel as he wished.

"President Wang, I'm sorry, publicity, you know, too busy."

"I understand, I am the same. When the film was released, I was so busy that I didn't know the day and night, and I was scared. Would you like something to drink?"

"Let's have a cup of hot milk. I've been running promotions for the past few days, and the organizers are entertaining me. I really can't drink it anymore. Drink a cup of milk and sleep well at night."

"That's right." What to drink is completely unimportant to Wang Zhonglei.

Wang Zhonglei approached Zhang Yuanjun just to chat casually. He knew that Zhang Yuanjun's studio had limited production capacity and couldn't make films one after another.

He came here to talk about his face, and finally said: "Although we can't sign an artist contract, our cooperation on "Buried Alive" is very good. I think our cooperation can continue, what do you think?"

"Of course." Zhang Yuanjun had no reason to refuse this kind of cooperation, and said with a smile, "Huayi is the boss, and I am eager to cooperate with you in this small workshop."

"Don't say that," although Zhang Yuanjun's flattery of Wang Zhonglei is very useful, but he still has to be modest, "Your scale is small, but your ability is strong. How can you call it a small workshop? If you are a small workshop, then the domestic 90 % of the film companies have no face to live.

"It's getting late, so I won't bother you to rest. In the future, whether you have a notebook or lack of investment, call me directly. Don't look for the people below. There are too many people and we can't control everything. The people below didn’t treat them well, and it’s our brother’s face that’s lost, isn’t it?”

Zhang Yuanjun stood up, gave Wang Zhonglei two steps, and said haha: "You can only find Mr. Wang if you have a book and lack of investment?"

"That's what you said." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile, "Of course I welcome you if you want to come to me for drinks and tea."

Wang Zhonglei felt that today's conversation was very pleasant, and his goal was achieved if the conversation was pleasant.

Zhang Yuanjun actually understood Wang Zhonglei's desire to cooperate with him very well, not to mention his production ability, but Huayi Company, they are too deeply bound with Feng Xiaogang.

The Wang brothers must have realized the disadvantages of over-reliance on one director for the company's development.

That's why they voted for Zhang Zhiliang's "Mo Gong" at the same time as "The Banquet".

But I didn't expect "Ink Attack" to hit the street.

Huayi urgently needs to open up another guaranteed production resource route other than Feng Xiaogang, and this route cannot be signed with Huayi like Feng Xiaogang, otherwise Huayi will sign a new director before Huayi, and Feng Xiaogang will go to Wang Zhongjun's office to quarrel.

The best way is to co-produce, Huayi contract investment and publicity.

Zhang Yuanjun doesn't care about Huayi's family affairs, he only cares about where he will go for the next promotion, how to do activities, and how the results of "Animal World" are.

At noon on the fourth day of the holiday, the crew received the previous day's score: 1753 million.

After five days of release, the total box office has broken through the 6000 million mark, and breaking through [-] million is just around the corner.

The media has already awarded the National Day file champion to "Animal World" in advance.

At the same time, I don't know when Liu Yifei's special role was withdrawn.

In the subsequent publicity, Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun are the leading actors in the same row, and they are ranked behind Zhang Yuanjun.

It's really that Liu Yifei's special role is too powerful in publicity, and it's fine for a special role actor to follow the crew for two stops.

But the publicity effect of Liu Yifei's presence was great. According to preliminary statistics, the ticket sales of the theater where Liu Yifei was promoting was 17% higher than that of the theater where Zhang Yuanjun was.
The crew had to re-sign the publicity contract with her, requiring her to accompany all the publicity, and the price was to give Liu Yifei a raise.

Liu Xiaoli doesn't say that her daughter accepted "Animal World" behind her back. She even thinks that under her guidance, her daughter has a good eye for film selection, and she picked out blockbusters.

Zhang Yuanjun also had the same idea of ​​asking for credit. He sent a text message to Liu Yifei and said: "How about it, this is outstanding, isn't it shabby, I see what you can pay for this favor."

Liu Yifei didn't reply to him, what she thought after reading the text message was, I gave you my first kiss, isn't that enough, what else do I have to pay back.
