Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 194
After the premiere, some movie fans actually took the movie tickets they bought in advance to a nearby cinema, and then watched the movie again, so that they could take a look at the parts they didn't notice the first time.

Highlight a rich and willful person.

Most of the audience went home after watching it.

Then express your opinions on the Internet, which is not only a way to communicate with your peers, but also an invisible way of showing off.

I saw the premiere.

Please call me boss!
This is similar to the drill on the penguin.

Unlike before, everyone communicated on Tianya and the like.

In December last year, a phenomenal product came out, Qiandu Tieba!

Because of the convenience, many people have started to play this.

Daystar's navy department with dozens of people would not fail to pay attention to this kind of product. They immediately established a Director Gu Ming bar, and they were responsible for controlling the public opinion in the bar.

So far, in only half a year, the number of followers has exceeded 20.

In later generations, this number of followers would be quite small, but now in 04, the number of netizens is not even one-tenth of that in later generations.

And because we just came out, the atmosphere in the bar was very lively.

Many viewers who attended the premiere of "Now You See Me" left comments about the movie in the bar.

[Hong Yan Trouble Water]: This movie is definitely a groundbreaking movie. Even in the world of cinema, the combination of magic and special effects is rare. I couldn't stop watching it. It can be said that there was no peeing throughout the whole process. .

[Favorite Iijima]: Director Gu has created another film that can be serialized, but this one may be a bit difficult to imitate. Before "The Rescue" was a big hit, the Hong Kong Island Film Company made a batch of rescue films, so many , but there are still two movies to watch.But "Now You See Me" is not that easy to imitate. It is said that the special effects alone cost tens of millions of dollars, more than 1 million yuan. If Hong Kong movies follow the trend, they will probably use special effects worth [-] cents. fool.

[sdiud12i]: I say that Director Gu is the founder, leader and master of domestic commercial blockbusters. Who agrees and who opposes?If you object, slap yourself in the face, and save me, Zhou Chao, to take action first.

[It’s hard to come up with a name]: I also watched the premiere, and Chen Kun’s magic tricks were quite good!Li Bingbing's role of drowning in it was also quite realistic. According to her, she was really drowning at that time. If she hadn't been discovered by an assistant director, something big might have happened!
[Three Heroes Fight Diao Chan]: All in all, this is a high-quality action movie. If you want to watch it for fun, I highly recommend it. If you want to watch a literary film, I also recommend it. After all, it is directed by Gu Ming. Only when he makes money can he make literary films!

In addition to netizens, there are also film critics and reporters who have published their own movie viewing reviews in reports.

"Director Gu's new movie is very watchable. The first magic trick performed by the Four Horsemen catches people's attention and makes people want to watch it." - New Wolf Entertainment.

"Director Gu is also a pioneer in the new small film genre in the field of commercial films!" - "Southern Metropolis Daily".

"A commercial film with a near-perfect score. The full title is exciting. I highly recommend everyone to watch it." - Wangyi Entertainment.

The comments below each report are mostly positive.

Mixed in with a few not-so-bad reviews.

Of course, below the comments of Wangyi Entertainment, there is a different world.

In other comments, everyone is talking about movies, while his family is talking about the workplace.

"Wangyi Entertainment: Let me show you how to brag about shareholders. Watch it!"

"Gu Ming: I don't think your bragging is good enough. Whoever wrote this article should come to my office and brag hard!"

"Others are commenting on the movie, but only Wangyi recommends everyone to watch it. Sure enough, he knows how to make money for shareholders!"

""How the Workplace Is Made"."

……

The day after the premiere.

Gu Ming couldn't take any time off and started a heavy road show with several leading actors.

Naturally, the three most economically developed cities, Jingcheng, Shenghai, and Yangcheng, cannot be spared.

You also need to go to Jingang, Lin'an, Jinling, Jiangcheng, Jinguancheng, and my hometown Chang'an.

After all, they are all top cities below those three cities. In addition to the comprehensive implementation of industrial reform last year, in one year, the number of domestic screens increased by 1600 yuan from about 715 yuan.

The box office numbers in these cities are still remarkable.

With the expansion of the theater and Gu Ming's fame, the box office exceeded 6 million, reaching 1 million, even though June 1000st was a Wednesday.

Among them, the premiere can provide at least 50 box office figures.

On Thursday, the box office was 1021 million.

On Friday, it came to 1300 million.

On Saturday, it exploded directly to 2000 million.

It can be said that all the theaters are playing "Now You See Me" with dignity.

As for the movie being released two days earlier, it can be said that it was the Hollywood disaster movie "The Day After Tomorrow" that was released at the same time. Sorry, please send it to me later.

When there is a huge gap between the box office of domestic movies and Hollywood movies, in order to survive, theaters naturally have to choose Hollywood movies.

But now there is a domestic film that can also withstand the fight!
It can get more box office than you.

How do I choose?
There is no choice at all!
Yes, Hollywood movie theaters have low revenue sharing, but what does that have to do with my movie theater?
Will I earn more if my split is lower?
The company that makes the most money from the low revenue share of Hollywood movies also invested in "Now You See Me".

I have no choice but to turn a blind eye to the various practices of theaters.

Watching as the number of films made was high, box office numbers plummeted.

I couldn't check it carefully, but I found out that "The Day After Tomorrow" was filmed between one and six in the morning.

Who will come to see this?

As for those who wanted to see "The Day After Tomorrow" and expressed dissatisfaction with the film not being filmed, the theater's attitude was, "I sincerely apologize and will not change my mind."

Young man, don’t delay my earning Q, ah no, support domestic movies.

Since you really want to see it, you should come see it early in the morning.

What, can’t get up?
You don't even want to come to the theater in the early hours of the morning, and you still say you love watching "The Day After Tomorrow"?
You fake fan!
Until the early morning of the following Thursday, as yesterday's box office results were released.Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Li Bingbing and others who were on the road show all cheered!

Breaking [-] million in eight days!

As of 300 o'clock last night, the box office of "Now You See Me" has successfully exceeded the [-] million mark, reaching [-] million.

It became the first domestic film to gross over [-] million yuan this year.

“It’s just like breaking [-] million!”

Huang Xiaoming was still a little dizzy.

Even if the North American box office exceeded [-] million, the feeling it brought was not as strong as it is now.

He knows very well that in the North American market, he is just a passerby.

The real foundation is still in the country.

The box office exceeded [-] million in eight days, and eventually breaking [-] million was not a big problem.

This is the first domestic film besides "Hero" to have a high probability of exceeding [-] million!

"It means a lot!"

Chen Kun smiled and said, "Although the previous "Hurricane Rescue" and "Hero" were also domestic films, the protagonists were Li Lianlian."

"Many filmmakers still hold the idea that if commercial films want to sell at the box office, they must use Hong Kong and Taiwan protagonists."

"We mainland actors, especially young actors, cannot afford the box office."

"We have to spend a lot of money to hire actors over there."

"In this movie, both the male and female protagonists did not use their actors."

"Let's see if they have the nerve to say that in the future." Chen Kun let out a long breath, feeling as if he had completed some task.

"I just realized it when you said that." Li Bingbing nodded, "Then we may be mentioned often in the future, it's a milestone!"

"Indeed!" Gu Ming looked at Chen Kun with a smile.

Maybe this is fate.

in past lives.

Proving that all mainland actors can carry the box office of blockbusters is "Painted Skin" in 08, also starring Chen Kun. Only after that did young male actors from the mainland begin to take the lead.

Of course, it might not be possible without Brother Guan Xi’s magical operation.

After all, that incident also happened in 08.

In one fell swoop, Guan Xi, Bai Zhi, and Xie Tingfeng, Bai Zhi's husband at that time, were all screwed up.

At the same time, let everyone have a good meal.

……

Two weeks after its release, the box office of "Now You See Me" successfully exceeded 6000 million, and the box office on weekdays can still remain above 500 million.

But piracy has begun to appear on the market.

The big drop happens in a blink of an eye.

There is no problem breaking [-] million, but it is absolutely impossible to break the box office of "Hero".

See this box office prediction.

Zhang Weiping couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"Gu Ming, Gu Ming, you can't surpass "Hero"."

"Wait a minute, "Hero" seems to be the main controller of Daystar too!"

Zhang Weiping was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of another angle that made her happy.

"Zhang Yimou's first costume blockbuster "Hero" was such a hit."

"The visuals of this "House of Flying Daggers" are no less than those of "Hero", and it also stars Kim Seung-oh, Andy Lau, and the famous international chapter in Hollywood, with an investment of US$3700 million."

"It is not a dream to surpass "Heroes" at the domestic box office and target "Titanic"!"

"Coupled with my operations, this wave will definitely make a lot of money!"

Not long ago, he auctioned off the North American distribution rights of "House of Flying Daggers" for US$200 million, and sold the Neon distribution rights for US$800 million.

For the remaining local distribution rights, he also signed a contract similar to Gu Ming's with Sony Columbia.

The bid is based on [-]% of the final box office in North America.

If "House of Flying Daggers" can have the North American box office of 8000 million like "Hero", he can receive another 400 million.

Not counting the domestic box office, it might make a net profit of US$700 million!
All other income will be profits!
"Gu Ming!"

"Just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will have to overthrow your morning star!"

Thinking of Gu Ming, and how many times he hooked up with Zhang Yimou to make a movie for Daystar, and also tinkered with a movie like "The Embalmer", Zhang Weiping became so angry that she looked out the window fiercely.

……

But Gu Ming had no time to worry about the box office or what his peers thought.

There is one more thing waiting for him to appear in person!
