China Entertainment: Return to 2007

Chapter 182 Chapter The icing on the cake and making a friend

Seoul, CJ Entertainment headquarters.

"Junhao, what do you think of the filming of "Monster Hunt"?"

In the CEO's office, CJ Entertainment head Li Meijing looked at Bong Joon with a smile.

"The special effects are top-notch, the soundtrack is top-notch, the director is top-notch, the actors are top-notch, and the plot is retarded." Bong Joon commented sharply.

"In your opinion, how will this movie do at the box office? Will it be successful?"

"It will be very successful at the box office. With the support of CJ and you, "Monster Hunt" can win at least five million moviegoers." Bong Joon commented calmly.

"Didn't you say that his plot is mentally retarded? Why do you estimate that the box office will be so high?" Li Meijing smiled with interest.

"President Li, one code is the same. This movie has a mentally retarded plot, so it will attract more viewers and the box office will naturally be better."

As a famous director in Kimchi Country, Bong Joon's professional level is first-class and his vision is even more unique.

"It seems that this Xu Ge is really not a mortal..." Li Meijing thought thoughtfully.

Speaking of Li Meijing, there must be countless people who don’t know.

But when it comes to her family, almost everyone knows about it.

You should be able to guess it just by looking at her last name.

Yes, she is the direct granddaughter of the famous Samsung family founder Lee Byung-gil.

Although after Lao Li's death, Li Meijing's family and the third uncle who inherited the Samsung family had a falling out over the inheritance.

But Li's Yu Zeyou is there.

In addition, Li Meijing has vigorously developed the entertainment industry in the past ten years, especially after taking advantage of Spielberg and occupying 10% of DreamWorks shares.

CJ Entertainment (CJ Entertainment) she founded has become more and more prosperous.

Almost all Hollywood movie distribution goes through her hands.

Nowadays, she is vaguely known as the godmother of Asian entertainment.

Bong Joon is a great director that Lee Meijing values ​​​​very much now, so his words naturally carry a lot of weight.

"Junhao, do you have any plans for your new film?" Li Meijing said with a smile.

"Not yet, there is no suitable script." Bong Joon shook his head and sighed: "The scripts submitted by the company in the past few months are too mediocre. I have no desire to film at all."

Although the current Bong Joon has not reached his later peak, as early as 06, his science fiction film "Han River Monster" broke the Kimchi Country movie viewing record. Last year's suspense film "Mother" not only won the [Blue Dragon Award] The film even won the Los Angeles Film Critics Circle Award for Best Picture.

This makes Bong Joon the first-line director standing at the top of the pyramid in Kimchi Country.

Such him,

Naturally, I am very picky about the script.

"Let's take a look at this book. Maybe we can challenge the overseas market..." Li Meijing smiled and handed Bong Joon a comic.

"Snowpiercer?!" Bong Joon became interested. He opened the comic and read it with great interest.

After a long while, he closed the comic and said excitedly: "This subject is really good. If you adapt it into a movie, it will definitely be a box office hit!"

"Haha, since Junhao is interested, let's make it up," Li Meijing smiled and said directly: "If this movie wants to be a big hit, it must have a Hollywood star as the protagonist. You write the script first. Leave everything else to me."

"The second male lead must be Song Kang, and the domestic box office must rely on him to support it."

"Okay, Kang Hao has worked with you so many times, and his acting skills are good enough. He has to be the second male lead." After a pause, Li Meijing changed her voice: "What do you think of Ni Ni as the female lead?

She is now a very influential actress in Asia.

If she plays the female lead, I believe it will be of great benefit to our Asian box office, especially the Chinese box office. "

"Ni Ni? Shani?" Ni Ni's innocent appearance flashed in Bongjun's eyes: "Okay, anyway, the heroine of this movie is a vase, and it would be perfect to use her to attract the attention of the people of Daxia."

"Then it's settled, I'll contact her. I believe "Snowpiercer" will be a global hit!" Li Meijing said with a confident smile.

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

Japan and South Korea have always been the trendsetters in the entertainment industry in Asia.

Under Xu Ge's operation, "Monster Hunting" was launched in both countries at the same time, which immediately had an expected boosting effect.

The next day, when the box office results of the two countries were released, the people of Daxia were collectively shocked!

【Excuse me! "Monster Hunt" landed in the country of Xiaori, and on its first day of release, it earned a super high score of 2 million yen (1000 million yuan)!

Almost on par with the "Red Cliff" series! 】

【Shock! "Monster Hunt" premiered all over the country, and the number of moviegoers exceeded one million that day! Become the box office champion of the day! 】

【Bullshit! "Monster Hunt" is gaining popularity overseas. It is reported that after being released on Xiaoli Kimchi yesterday, the box office of "Monster Hunt" has been soaring, triggering a movie-watching frenzy! 】

["Monster Catching" became popular overseas, and Huba's name spread throughout the world. 】

【………】

After the Olympics, it was a time when Daxia’s economy was taking off and civilization and self-confidence were fully restored.

Seeing that "Monster Hunt" became popular overseas, media people immediately started hyping it!

Under the collective hype of the media, coupled with the head-on defeat of "Monster Hunt" by "Three Guns", "Monster Hunt" soon became famous and completely famous at home and abroad!

Thanks to this, it is natural that "Monster Hunt" has reached a new box office record!

Continue with 2967 million on the first day! 3775 million on the next day, 4139 million on the third day, and 4352 million on the fourth day.

On the fifth day, "Monster Hunt" once again rose instead of falling, reaching a super high box office of 4789 million!

Then on the sixth day, 4906 million!

On the seventh day, it took in 5023 million box office, surpassing the 5000 million mark in one fell swoop!

On the other hand, the single-day box office of "Three Guns" has dropped to less than 2000 million.

At this point, "Three Guns" has been completely crushed by "Monster Hunt"!

【Excuse me! "Monster Hunt" was released in one week, with a single-day box office exceeding 5 million! Consecutively crowned the box office champion! It reached a record-breaking 2.5 million mark in the first week and seven days! 】

["Monster Hunt" has blossomed both at home and abroad, and the number of moviegoers in Kimchi Country successfully exceeded 300 million in three days of release!

The box office of Little Days exceeded 5 million yen in three days!

The most popular Chinese-language film in both countries this year! 】

[One week after "Three Guns" was released, the single-day box office dropped to 1869 million, and the cumulative box office barely exceeded 1.6 million yuan. Its final box office is expected to exceed 3 million yuan...]

[Xu Ge defeated Zhang Yimou! The new movie "Monster Hunt" has a better box office reputation than "Three Guns". The new generation of director king is about to change hands. Daxia Film may usher in the era of Xu Ge! 】

[Zhang Yimou has exhausted his talents, and the score of "Three Guns" has dropped to 4.6 points! This is the lowest level in his career of more than ten years! 】

[Xu Ge is unparalleled in the limelight, and he has won the victory with a strong frontal force. He has officially joined the list of the three leaders. 】

["Monster Hunt" sets the precedent for domestic special effects blockbusters! The visual effects have received numerous accolades!

According to the latest data, the box office forecast of "Monster Hunt" has reached as much as 6 million! He is expected to win the title of film history champion in one fell swoop! 】

【…】

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

Since ancient times, there have always been few offers of help in times of need and more icing on the cake.

Here, "Monster Hunt" is gaining momentum. It took in an extremely high box office of 2.5 million in the first seven days, and is about to sprint towards the 5 billion mark.

Over there, the Huayi Wang brothers couldn't sit still. “Brother, have you really made this decision?” Wang Zhonglei looked at Wang Zhongjun.

"Of course," Wang Zhongjun nodded and said solemnly: "Call Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Lin Xingu, Huang Xiaoming, and Deng Chao. We must make him accept our love tonight!"

"Yes, brother." Wang Zhonglei nodded.

At night, outside the gate of Imperial Hotel.

When Xu Ge led Ni Ni, Zhang Yi, and Chen Xiao to the gate,

Outside the gate, the Wang brothers, who had been waiting for a long time, led a group of famous celebrities from Huayi to greet them: "Haha, Director Xu, welcome. You can take time out of your busy schedule to come to the banquet. We are really impressed. Brother is flattered.”

"Mr. Wang, you're welcome. We are partners. You kindly invite me. How dare I not come?"

After being polite, he looked at Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, and Deng Chao who were standing behind the Wang brothers.

Xu Ge smiled and greeted everyone in turn.

He took Ni Ni's hand and walked in at the lead.

Like the stars holding the moon, Xu Ge Ni Ni was regarded as a distinguished guest by the Wang brothers, and Zhang Yi and Chen Xiao who followed them to make soy sauce also received much attention.

After walking all the way to the VIP box and taking their seats one by one, the Wang brothers clapped their hands.

A team of waiters composed of young girls brought plates of delicacies to the dining table.

"Come on, Director Xu, let's toast you together and wish "Monster Hunt" a great box office success! It will successfully surpass "2012" and become the box office champion in the history of the Chinese film industry!"

Wang Zhongjun gave the order, and everyone around him stood up neatly. Everyone raised their glasses and looked at Xu Ge with respect.

"Thank you Mr. Wang and everyone for your blessings. I'll drink this glass." Xu Ge stood up and drank the wine in one gulp.

Ni Ni, Chen Xiao Zhang Yi also drank the wine together.

Seeing this, the Wang brothers and the stars of Huayi quickly returned the favor, and everyone drank all the wine.

After three or two cups, the atmosphere became lively.

Wang Zhongjun said with emotion: "Director Xu is really young and promising. In just two years, you have developed Xu Ge Film and Television from scratch to a point where it can compete with Huayi today.

If I had 1/10 of your talent and luck, I would laugh out of my dreams. "

"Mr. Wang's words are wrong," Xu Ge stopped Wang Zhongjun's flattery: "You are a senior in the industry. If it weren't for you, Daxia's entertainment industry would not have developed to what it is today.

Nowadays, Huayi has a market value of tens of billions, making it the de facto number one entertainment company in Daxia!

Compared with your achievements, I just have better luck. "

"Director Xu is so humble. "Monster Hunt" is about to hit 6 million at the box office. At your age, with your talent, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is timeless and outstanding." Wang Zhonglei cooperated: "And Director Xu, you are not only talented, but your luck in love also makes us envious.

Look at your girlfriend Ni Ni. Can you find another virtuous beauty like this, gentle, virtuous, and considerate in Daxia? "

Xu Ge turned around and kissed Ni Ni, and said with a proud look on his face: "Indeed, I am really lucky to have Ni Ni in my life."

Ni Ni rolled his eyes at Xu Ge, feeling happy and shy at the same time.

Under such an occasion, Xu Ge's intimate behavior towards her was undoubtedly another expression of his recognition of her status as a real girlfriend.

Fan Bingbing glanced at Ni Ni enviously, thinking of the sacrifices she had made on her way to the top over the years, she couldn't help but feel sad.

She really wished she could be reborn five years ago and lend a helping hand to Xu Ge when he was at his most ordinary.

In this way, the person sitting next to him today is Fan Bingbing.

The thoughts of Li Bingbing, Lin Xingu and others also changed over and over again.

These two are also fine people, and their history of rising to the top is also sad.

Compared with Ni Ni who obtained everything easily,

To say that I'm not jealous would be a lie.

Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming are much better. After all, they are men and cannot take the shortcuts that women can take.

Chen Xiao and Zhang Yi were not surprised. Xu Ge had always doted on Ni Ni.

They had not seen him express his love to Ni Ni once or twice in front of everyone.

"Come, let's toast Director Xu and Ni Ni again, and wish Director Xu and Ni Ni a happy marriage and a long life together!" Wang Zhongjun toasted again.

"I wish Director Xu and Ni Ni a happy marriage and grow old together!" Everyone raised their glasses collectively.

Xu Ge Ni Ni stood up with a smile, clinked glasses with everyone, and drank the wine in one gulp again.

After a banquet, Xu Ge was about to say goodbye and leave.

Wang Zhongjun spoke again: "Director Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's rare for you to come to the imperial capital. Why don't we go to the tea room next door to have another cup of tea, so that we brothers can do our best as landlords?"

"Haha, okay," Xu Ge nodded. He smiled and said to Ni Ni, "You ask Xiao Liu to take you back to the hotel first. I'll have a cup of tea with Mr. Wang and be back soon."

"Okay, you guys drink tea slowly, I'll leave first." Ni Ni nodded obediently, turned around and asked Chen Xiao and Zhang Yi to leave together.

When Fan Bingbing and others saw this, they also wisely said goodbye and left.

After a while, Xu Ge and the Wang brothers were the only two brothers left in the house.

After leading Xu Ge to the tea room in the next room, Wang Zhongjun personally brewed a pot of fine Biluochun for Xu Ge.

After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Xu Ge praised: "Mr. Wang is good at his craftsmanship. This tea is brewed just right. It leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth, which is endlessly memorable."

"As long as Director Xu likes it," he smiled. Seeing that the time had come, Wang Zhongjun smiled and said, "Director Xu, do you have any plans for your next movie?"

"'Monster Hunt' is still in theaters. After it is released, we will naturally have corresponding plans." Xu Ge said with a smile.

"Director Xu, please be sure to bring Huayi with you in your next movie."

After Wang Zhongjun finished speaking solemnly, he took out a document from his bag and handed it to Xu Ge.

Xu Ge was about to say something perfunctory, but when he saw this, he stopped talking and took the document.

When he opened it, Xu Ge couldn't help but be surprised.

The document is an equity transfer agreement,

The above content is very simple,

Huayi officially transferred 1% of Huayi's shares, now worth 2 million, to Xu Ge at a price of yuan.

"Mr. Wang, what do you mean by this?" Xu Ge smiled and pretended not to understand: "It was agreed at the beginning that the box office of "Monster Hunt" must exceed 2 million before these shares can be returned to me, and the price is Ten thousand.

It is only 2.5 million now, which is far from reaching the contract data.

The price is not right either.

Did you remember it wrong? "

"Hahaha, Director Xu, no matter how the box office of "Monster Hunt" fares in the future, I will give these shares to you."

Wang Zhongjun smiled and said: "Compared to this little profit, I would rather make friends with you."

　Thanks to boss 20220423143844340, Wuji Wuji, and Silence 8 for their monthly ticket support!
