China Entertainment: Return to 2007

Chapter 180 The first domestic special effects blockbuster

Taiwan City, Changhong Film and Television, President's Office.

"Tell me, is there any other bad news?" Wu squatted on the boss's chair and asked very naively.

"Mr. Wu, news just came from major theaters, saying..." the assistant hesitated.

"say what?"

"Say..."Chilling" has a single-day box office of less than one million, and we are planning to officially release "Chilling" tomorrow..."

Ding dong!

As the tea cup fell to the ground, Wu Quan said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that I would be pecked by geese while hunting geese all day long. It turns out that one day I will be so worried."

On the first day of its release, "The Tomb" was still a hit at the box office.

But as word of mouth fermented, the box office dropped by half.

As of today, 12 days after its release, the total box office has exceeded 5 million.

Even if Baodao’s box office of nearly 10 million is added,

The total box office is only 6000 million.

With this amount of box office, I can only get more than 2500 million yuan in the end. Add in other messy profits, and I can get more than 3 million yuan.

And how much does "Assassin's Tomb" cost?

That's a real 100 million!

The salaries of several leading actors and directors alone are as high as 7 million.

He has to pay almost 70 million for one movie!

How could Wu Quan accept this easily?

"Mr. Wu, there is one more thing I want to report to you..." the assistant continued in a low voice.

"Say." Wu Kuansheng waved his hand helplessly.

"The bank came to collect the debt, and they said..."

"what did they say?"

"They said that if you don't repay the loan before the end of this month, they will sue you and the company and put your property at public auction..."

Wu squatted: "..."

"I understand, please step back first!" Signing to the assistant to close the door, Wu squatted down, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath: "Everyone pushed against the wall, it's really realistic.

But you are still too naive to think that this will make me surrender. "

After thinking carefully, Wu Quan dialed the phone number of his artist department manager: "Hey, notify the company's major co-stars and ask them to come over and pick up some ads. We must get through the difficulties together..."

"Yes, Mr. Wu."

Changhong Film and Television has been based in Taiwan for many years and has a wide network of contacts. Most of the popular stars in Taiwan have cooperated with it.

Among them are Lin Qinxia, ​​Zhang Manyu, Guan Zhilin, Wu Jungu, Liang Yingdi, Zhang Geshen, Liang Jiahui, Jin Chengwu, Lin Zhiying, Wang Zuxian, Ke Shouliang, Wu Qilong, Xu Ruoxuan, etc., all of whom were his Guests of honor.

Using these connections to temporarily fill the holes, waiting for a subsequent comeback, is Wu Quan's last trump card.

With his reputation, he firmly believed that he would be able to overcome the difficulties this time.

Wu Quan was thinking beautifully, but in the next second, with the call coming from his subordinate, all his dreams were shattered.

"Hey, what? I can't shirk it!

What the hell! They are all a bunch of ignorant white-eyed wolves!

Who else? What? ! Wenwen won’t come either! ! ! "

Bah!

When I heard that my favorite goddaughter Jia Jingwen couldn't shirk it,

Wu Quan was so angry that he smashed the phone!

He never expected that the tea would get cold before they left.

The reality of the entertainment industry has broken the heart of this entertainment boss who once dominated one side!

At the same time, Xiangjiang.

"Director Lin, "Wind and Cloud 2" has been notified that it will be released until tomorrow at most, and then it will be forced to be released..."

"What's the current box office?" Lin Xiaoming said calmly.

"Including the Hong Kong box office, it's less than 60 million." The secretary whispered back.

"How much did you lose?"

"The cost of "Wind and Cloud 2" is 9000 million. Excluding the estimated overall profit of about 6000 million, there will be a loss of about million."

"Okay, that's it."

Lin Xiaoming waved his hand to the secretary to leave, feeling a year older.

After working hard for nearly two years and spending a lot of money to create "Wind and Cloud 2", the ending is like this,

This was definitely a huge blow to him.

"Maybe I'm really not suitable to continue investing in movies.

Without him, I would really be a helpless Adou..."

Compared with Wu Quan's desperate situation, Lin Xiaoming's family fortune is obviously much richer than his.

Although the failure of "Wind and Cloud 2" caused him heavy losses, it has not yet reached the point of bankruptcy and liquidation.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Lin Xiaoming decided to temporarily stop all film and television investment activities.

In a short period of time, he no longer had the courage to face the painful field of film.

...............................

Two tigers fight and the wolves retreat!

"Monster Hunt" and "Three Guns" are facing a head-on battle, and "Trickster" and "Feng Yun 2", which are already at the end of their efforts, have officially withdrawn from the stage of history.

At the same time, with the arrival of the third day, when the box office figures for December 12 were released, the entire Daxia film circle exploded!

Imperial City Statistics Department.

In the morning, Lao Zhang and Lao Li took the box office data report that they had calculated nine times and were both at a loss.

"Lao Zhang, do you want to report this data?"

"What do you think? If you don't hand it in, the director will come to urge you again."

Lao Li shook his head, picked up the data directly, and walked to the director's office.

Boom boom boom!

"Please come in." The director's steady voice came from inside.

Lao Li opened the door and walked over, saying respectfully: "Director, the box office data has been calculated. Please take a look."

"How's it going? What's the total box office today? Is it better than yesterday?" the director asked with a smile.

"Today's total box office data is gratifying. It has exceeded yesterday's 6 million and reached an astonishing 7151 million." Lao Li answered honestly.

"Oh, it seems that the National Master is still as powerful as ever. Tell me, how much is the box office of "Three Guns"?"

"3278 million!" Lao Li replied.

"3278 million, not bad, not bad, much more than yesterday." The director looked at the data and praised: "Wait a minute, what is the total box office today?"

"7151 million!"

"I remember that "The Wind and Cloud 2" and "The Tomb" were released on the last day today. What was their total box office yesterday?"

"The two films together cost 98 each."

"In other words, the remaining box office is contributed by "Monster Hunt"?"

"Yes, that's right! "Monster Hunt" took in 3775 million yesterday!"

director:"……"

3775? !

Upon hearing this astonishing number, the director was so surprised that he almost jumped out of his office chair.

It's not like he hasn't heard of figures with more box office than this single day.

But this is an achievement achieved when two powers compete for hegemony.

Moreover, the competition also comes from the national master who is like a god!

On only its second day of release, "Monster Hunt" beat "Three Guns" to win the single-day box office championship even though it was lagging behind in film schedules!

The director couldn't even imagine what kind of box office blowout "Monster Hunt" would usher in when it was scheduled to be released later!

"Hurry up and notify us, and quickly release today's box office data!" "Yes, director."

The better the movie box office data is, the better it will be for the Bureau of Statistics.

Especially when the superiors pay attention to it, it is even more necessary to publicize it at such a critical time.

After Lao Li left, the director immediately called Han Sanye and learned everything. Han Sanye immediately instructed China Film: "Tomorrow, all the extra films from "The Tomb Raider" and "The Wind and Cloud 2" will be added to "Monster Hunt". In the next week, depending on the situation, we will reduce the schedule of "Three Guns" and add all of it to "Monster Hunt"!"

"Yes, Director Han."

"Monster Hunt" is invested by China Film Group. This project is equivalent to a biological son.

Originally, due to the more than ten years of friendship between the Imperial Master and him, Mr. Han had to schedule "Three Guns" over "Monster Hunt".

But now that the situation has reversed, Xu Ge has surpassed Zhang Yimou with the help of the movie itself.

This gave Mr. Han enough reason to adjust the film schedule.

This is how life is, there are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests.

Friendship and friendship mean nothing in the face of interests!

...............................

As if he got a signal, when the news came out that "Monster Hunt" has overtaken "Three Guns" at the box office,

The whole Great Xia is in a state of excitement!

【Excuse me! On its second day of release, "Monster Hunt" grossed 3775 million at the box office! Beating "Three Guns" by 3278 million! Winning the single-day box office championship! 】

【Shock! In just two days, "Monster Hunt" staged a shocking counterattack. Although the film schedule was significantly behind, the box office data surpassed "Three Guns" by 500 million!

The second round of the confrontation between old and new directors Xu Ge and Zhang Yimou ended with Xu Ge's overall victory! 】

【The hottest Lunar New Year stall is born! The box office of "Monster Hunt" and "3 Guns" both exceeded the 7 million mark! Together, we will help the market break through the million mark!

The hottest time of the year is back to celebrate the New Year! 】

["Monster Hunt" has received rave reviews. Its special effects and touching plot have attracted countless viewers to the theater with their families. 】

[The reputation of "Three Guns" has been declining, and nearly 4.3 people collectively gave it a super low score of !

Zhang Yimou was questioned as having exhausted his talents, and "Three Guns" encountered the biggest Waterloo! 】

[Huayi’s stock price skyrocketed! Recently, with the release of "Monster Hunt", the stock price of Huayi, one of the producers, soared 8% in one day!

Its market value has reached a new high, exceeding the 10 billion mark! 】

【…】

"I'm so tired! I'm so excited! Is "Monster Hunt" so intense when I wake up?

Isn’t even the National Preceptor an opponent? ! "

"Good guy, which brother said last time that he wanted to stand on his head and eat cock?

Why don't you hurry up and cash it in! "

"Isn't Xu Ge too awesome? How old is he? He just killed the Imperial Master?

Could it be that he got the male protagonist script from the internet, right? "

"Be more confident and remove the word "ba"! Xu Ge has been in the field of online dramas, TV series and movies for two years since his debut.

I opened a company again, recruited actresses, and I was so happy!

Now he has defeated the national master again and is about to win the box office championship!

If this isn’t the male protagonist of a cool novel, then what is? ! "

"I'm so envious! What a bastard Xu Ge! Give back my Ni Ni! Give back my Shishi! Give back my Mimi!

This is the goddess I only dare to imagine in my dreams! This beast is all ruined! ! ! "

"Why do they all say that with an investment of 1.5 million, the special effects of "Monster Hunt" are so good, but "Three Guns" is at that level?

What on earth is going on? "

"One actually invested 1.5 million, and the other actually boasted 1.5 million. What do you think is going on?"

"Now "Monster Hunt" may be going to skyrocket. This momentum will definitely not be stopped by 3 million, or at least 4 million.

Maybe Xu Ge can really live up to his boast, and Zhang Weiping will really panic now! "

"Alarmist! I admit that "Monster Hunt" is indeed very good!

But the level of "Three Guns" is not bad either!

The ability and qualifications of the national teacher are there. You may lose, but the total box office between the two cannot be more than double! "

"I think so. Currently, the box office of "Three Guns" and "Monster Hunt" are almost the same. The latter wants to double the former. Without a box office of 5 million, there is basically no chance.

But if he wants to get this box office, Xu Ge still has a long way to go. "

"Who knows, but I really hope that the box office of "Monster Hunt" can exceed 5 million.

In this way, this year's box office championship is back in the hands of us Daxia people!

This is much better than being weighed down by "2012" and "Transformation 2"! "

"Yes! Support "Monster Hunt"! Keep working on "2012"!"

"When you guys said it, I really had the urge to support "Monster Hunt".

Tomorrow happens to be Saturday, so I will take my daughter and wife to watch a movie and have a lot of fun..."

"I'll also buy a ticket to support it. I haven't gone to the movies for a long time. I hope Xu Ge won't disappoint me."

"..."

The strong will always be strong and the weak will always be weak. This is a rule that will never change.

With its great advantages in terms of quality, film schedules starting to tilt, and word-of-mouth starting to explode,

Very quickly, "Monster Hunt" began his counterattack!

Before the heat has subsided, the box office was released on the third day, and "Monster Hunt" was a complete hit!

....................................

Shudu, China Film Cinema.

"Beauty, please give me two copies of "Monster Hunt", two buckets of popcorn and two cups of milk tea, thank you."

"Three copies of "Monster Hunt", three buckets of popcorn and three bottles of Coke, thank you."

"Two "Three Guns" and two bottles of mineral water."

"Two photos of "Monster Hunting"..."

Xiao He works as a cashier in a movie theater, and his daily job is to sell tickets, water, and popcorn.

Years of selling tickets have long since worn away her passion and enthusiasm.

The movie theater where she works is located in the center of the city, and the number of people increases dramatically every weekend.

It was only ten o'clock in the morning, and the huge crowds of people had already filled the cinema to capacity.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, it's all there, it's all there."

"Get in line, don't jump in line for those behind you!"

With the help of two colleagues, Xiao He numbly sold tickets and kept filling popcorn.

Holding the movie tickets, Xiao He was surprised to find that the tickets for "Monster Hunt" were sold in particularly high numbers today, almost twice as much as those for "Three Guns" next door.

And just two days ago, it was obvious that "Three Guns" had no fewer tickets than "Monster Hunt".

Xiao He was wondering,

Suddenly, when another customer with his family shouted that he wanted to buy three copies of "Monster Hunt",

Xiao He reflexively went to place an order.

Then, she was shocked to find that the tickets were sold out!

"Sorry, all the tickets for "Monster Hunt" have been sold out this morning. Why don't you choose "Three Guns"? There are still many tickets for this movie." Xiao He guided the consumers skillfully.

"No! All my friends have said that "Three Guns" is a bad movie, and I won't waste my money on it.

Are there any afternoon tickets for "Monster Hunt" available? Today I am going to watch "Monster Hunt", the number one special effects blockbuster in China that exceeded 100 million in three days! "

"Okay, there are three shows of "Monster Hunt" in the afternoon, at one o'clock, three o'clock, and five o'clock. Which show do you want to buy?"

"Give me some games, three of them. I'll take my wife and kids out to play for a while, and I'll come right after lunch."

"Okay, just wait a moment and I'll vote for you right away."

　Thank you for your monthly ticket support from 123, 151122000031374, Double Happiness Terminal, and my favorite brother Ah Zhong!
