Actor: My Entertainment Era

7 million on the first day on the 1300th, the best result since the opening of the summer season.

This is the report card handed over by "Source Code".

This is achieved despite the fact that the leading actor Zhang Yuanjun was absent from offline promotions.

However, Zhang Yuanjun recorded a VCR for the promotion of "Source Code" at almost every stop. Every time the crew went to a place, they played Zhang Yuanjun's pre-recorded greeting video for the audience, which was considered compensation.

Unable to attend the road show, Zhang Yuanjun worked hard on Weibo.

Create or forward at least ten Weibo posts about "Source Code" a day to promote the movie.

"Source Code" may be the first film to use Weibo for online promotion.

The effect is very good, young people are very receptive to such novel propaganda methods.

Weibo also took advantage of the popularity of "Source Code" to invite physicists to popularize the basic concepts of parallel universes, which is very popular among young people.

"Source Code"'s first weekend box office exceeded 3 million in three days. Will China Film Group regret it?

I can’t say I regret it. When this film was offered to China Film Group Corporation, it was really difficult for them to handle it, so Shanghai Film Group Corporation picked it up.

But it would be nice if things could really be seen that simple.

The China Film Group is not monolithic. Under the auspices of Han Sanping, the group missed out on two blockbuster movies, "Animal World" and "Source Code."

At the same time, the investment in "Red Cliff" went to my grandma's house - the only profitable Japanese market was the buyout, which had nothing to do with China Film.

So far this year, few of the projects invested by the group have been profitable.

The people below had long been dissatisfied. They used "Source Code" to attack Han Sanping and questioned his strategy.

Now a project is before China Film Group, which requires the group to make a choice.

"Inception"!
The industry already knows that Zhang Yuanjun bought out the box office revenue of "Inception" in China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand for US$1700 million, in exchange for two roles for himself and his girlfriend.

The problem now is that Zhang Yuanjun's studio has no distribution capabilities. He bought out "Inception" and there is no distribution company to release the film to him.

However, US$1700 million is a bit large, and Zhang Yuanjun Studio wants to find someone in China to share the risk.

However, most domestic companies with issuance capabilities are unwilling to cooperate. You think the risk is high, but I also think the risk is high.

Therefore, the film was handed over to China Film Group Corporation.

Han Sanping, as always, was unwilling to invest in "Inception" due to the risks, but Fu Ruoqing, the group's director and deputy general manager, wanted to invest.

Han Sanping is really not going well recently. It has lost too many projects and the people below are about to rebel.

Especially the loss of "Red Cliff" made him lose some ground within the group, but he still argued with Fu Ruoqing not to vote for "Inception".

But Fu Ruoqing didn't listen to him, saying that "Red Cliff" suffered too much loss, but the Japanese market made money. The people below were very critical of Han Sanceng, and there were even rumors in the ministry.

The even more vicious ones actually said that Han San Ping had improper economic dealings with Japan.

"This is complete nonsense!" No one can wear this hat.

Fu Ruoqing advised Han Sanjing: "That's why we should vote for "Inception". It would sound nice to vote for a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio."

Han Sanping was still considering the risks, but Fu Ruoqing ignored it and insisted on investing: "Ren Zhonglun was also considering that "Source Code" had made him so much money, and he really didn't mind investing another one for Zhang Yuanjun, "Inception" 》It’s fine if it doesn’t make money in China, but he will lose money to death. What if we do make money? ”Inception” is different from other films. After all, there is an international superstar like Leonardo in it, and it attracts a lot of attention. , Besides, aren't there Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei here? They can still be sold for money in China."

Han Sanping was shaken, but he insisted that the risk was too great.

Fu Ruoqing simply said: "This film must be invested. Making movies is inherently risky investment. Rather than watching his film and eating it up, it is better to let the meat rot in our own pot. Isn't it only 6000 to [-] million? If you don't invest in me, Find a way to convince the group to invest." Han Sanping hesitated at this time. Fu Ruoqing is still on the side of the group, generally with himself. If it drags on, he will really worry that Fu Ruoqing will switch to Ren Zhonglun's side, or even go too far. , go to the General Administration and the Ministry to make a small report.

Many people are eyeing my position as the chairman of China Film Group Corporation.

What Fu Ruoqing said today was to persuade him to vote for "Inception" on the surface, but to give himself an ultimatum secretly.

Han Sanping couldn't help but hinder his career by investing 6000 to [-] million in a play.

Finally he said: "I'll ask other people for their opinions, and we'll talk about it at the next meeting."

Fu Ruoqing knew that Han Sanjing had agreed, and he also knew that "Inception" would be in his hands, so he left with satisfaction.

Winning partners for "Inception" was a task that Zhang Yuanjun left the country and gave to the studio.

Buying out the proceeds of the film for US$1700 million is indeed risky, but the prospect of earnings is equally impressive.

…………

Conscience of heaven and earth!Zhang Yuanjun really only taught Nolan to say shit, who would have thought that Leonardo and Maria Cotillard also learned it.

This is indeed not a nice thing to say, but Nolan seems to think that two simple monosyllabic letters have a more direct effect than OMG.

What's even more outrageous is that he has even learned how to compete with cows.

Every time he filmed a good clip, he would praise the actors: "A cow is better than a cow!"

Or the special effects team made something that met his shooting requirements, and he also praised: "Fuck! That's awesome!"

Zhang Yuanjun felt that he was committing a crime.

Liu Yifei smiled and said: "You continue to teach, I will see how you end up later."

Zhang Yuanjun thought of a funny idea and said with a smile: "Do you know how to describe this phenomenon in my hometown dialect?"

"How to say?"

"It's called 'The beggar picked up a sentence, and the sky light spoke until night.'" Zhang Yuanjun switched to Luling dialect. This sentence does not rhyme at all in Mandarin, but it only sounds right in Luling dialect.

Liu Yifei didn't understand, so Zhang Yuanjun explained: "It means they learned a sentence and kept saying it all day long, like a beggar who found a treasure."

Liu Yifei said: "You have the nerve to talk to others, but you didn't teach me."

Zhang Yuanjun didn't take it to heart, but said: "Do you think this is called cultural export?"

Liu Yifei said: "You are called a cultural hooligan."

But whether you should say it or not, saying a few dirty words to each other can really bring people closer to each other.

After Leon learned a few words of Mandarin, he reciprocated the favor and invited Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei to have two glasses of wine after the show.

After going back and forth, the three of them really became familiar with each other.

Liu Yifei even worried narcissistically: "He is so enthusiastic about me, wouldn't he fall in love with me?"

Zhang Yuanjun glanced at him and said, "You are overthinking. Your face is only good in Southeast Asia. Leon likes supermodels, and you are not his type."

In fact, Liu Yifei also knows the truth behind this, she is just joking.

After filming in the United States for another half month, the crew headed to Paris. (End of chapter)
