China Entertainment: Return to 2007

Huayi is also miserable. Last year, only the jointly released "Painting Wall" and "New Shaolin Temple" achieved good results.
But even for these two movies, the box office is only around 2 million.
Compared with the top five, which have a box office of 5,678,900 million, they are simply crushed into rubbish.

The reason for all this is actually very simple. Their star, Feng Dapao, was busy filming "1942" and failed to bring new works to participate in the box office battle.

When the Wang brothers saw this list, their faces turned dark.
This is really the most dismal year since they established Huayi.

Just like the results, Huayi's stock price fell by 13% in January, and its market value of billions evaporated.

It made the Wang brothers' flesh hurt for a while.

"Brother, this is so annoying! After the New Year, we must avenge our shame!" Wang Zhonglei said angrily.

"Next year we have "1942" by Feng Dapao, "Painted Skin 2" by Urshang, and "Four Famous Catchers" by Chen Jiashang. In addition, "Waiting for the Wind" by Teng Huatao will be released soon.
Huayi will surely regain its glory! "

After listening to his brother's words, Wang Zhongjun nodded: "We were indeed careless this year. We must treat it well next year!"

After a pause, Wang Zhongjun asked: "Is the schedule for "Waiting for the Wind Coming" ready?"

"It's all scheduled. I'm going to release it on the first day of the new year. The Spring Festival is a good time.
I believe in Teng Huatao's ability, it shouldn't be a problem for "Waiting for the Wind" to get a box office of 200 to 300 million yuan. "

Teng Huatao has the previous successful experience of "33 Days After Love" which grossed 3.5 million at the box office.

This follow-up work definitely has a high chance of success!

After hearing this, Wang Zhongjun nodded with a smile and said: "I'll leave "Waiting for the Wind to Come" to you. I can rest assured. Also, be careful with Xu Ge Film and Television. What's going on with them now?"

"It's a bit funny when you talk about this," Wang Zhonglei said with a smile: "Guess what? This guy Xu Ge is so funny that he actually beats himself.

There was news just now that he was planning to have two films he invested in released simultaneously on New Year's Eve. "

It's a taboo to release your own movies at the same time, and no one with any brain would do it.

"Released at the same time?" Wang Zhongjun frowned and asked seriously: "Are you sure? Which two movies are they?"

"One is a sequel to "A Journey to the End". What is it called "Thailand"? The investment is only 2 million, and the actors in it are only Xu Zheng, Wang Bo, and Bao Qiang who are somewhat famous, so they are not a big threat.

The other one is a cartoon called "Bear Bears: Treasure Hunt", which is a big movie about mentally handicapped cartoons produced by Xu Ge Films in the first half of the year.

Everyone knows the level of Daxia Animation.

If this movie can exceed 5 million, it is considered a high-profile success!

So they feel that it is impossible to become the opponent of "Waiting for the Wind"! "

"Don't be careless," Wang Zhongjun warned: "Add 500 million more funds and do your best to publicize it. We must not let Xu Ge get on top of us again!"

"Understood, brother!"

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

"Director Xu, this... Is it appropriate for "Bear Bears" and "囧" to be released together on New Year's Eve?"

In the office, after hearing Xu Ge's request, Yang Yu couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

Both films are fully invested by Xu Ge Film and Television.

This left hand hit the right hand, and he couldn't figure out the reason.

"There's nothing inappropriate," Xu Ge smiled and explained: "The Spring Festival schedule will get bigger and bigger in the future. Let alone two movies, it is not impossible to squeeze in five blockbusters at the same time.

"Bear Bears" is an animated comedy, which is different from all the films of the same period. You don't have to worry about crashing with "囧". "

Although it is not the future yet, the Spring Festival period is not the most popular period.

However, there is a precedent for "Happy Family" to open up a Spring Festival stall the year before last.

Xu Ge feels that by showing two films at the same time, he still has a good chance of winning.

After all, during the same period, except for Hollywood's "Sherlock Holmes 2", which was a rival, everything else was just fun!
Xu Ge is naturally aware of the news that "Waiting for the Wind" will also be released during the Spring Festival.

In the previous life, this piece of garbage film tried to replicate the success of "33 Days After Love",

The result naturally ended in a disastrous defeat, which shocked many people.

After all, even if you copy yourself, you can fail, and Teng Huatao is considered the number one person in the film industry.

"Okay, since Director Xu is so confident, I will give my full support!" Yang Yu nodded.

"When will "Your Name" be completed?" Xu Ge asked again.

"It's almost done," Yang Yu said seriously: "It took more than two years, and in two months, "Your Name" will be completed.

At the earliest, I expect it to be released across Asia in May. "

"How much did you spend? Is the budget enough?"

"The total budget of this film is 5 million, and our investment is million.

The budget is sufficient, but additional investment may be needed for publicity. Yang Yu replied carefully.

"It's finished," Xu Ge sighed: "Then after the Chinese New Year, you can have someone keep an eye on it. Once the finished film comes out, show it to me right away."

"Ok, no problem."

"Where is "Frozen" now?" Xu Ge asked again.

"After acquiring the rights to "Frozen," Disney has already begun production.
We also sent a core team here to assist.
Not surprisingly, it will be completed around May or June 2013. "

Xu Ge breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard that "Frozen" would be released in just over a year.

Compared with "Your Name", which has a slow cycle, "Frozen" is obviously much faster.

These are all due to Disney’s sound animation shooting system.
Otherwise, if we let Xu Ge Film and Television do it by themselves, it might take two or three years.

"After the Chinese New Year next year, you should go and watch in person. You must not let Disney falsely report costs and poach us!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on them!"

After finishing Yang Yu, I sorted out the animation plan.

Xu Ge turned his attention back to live-action movies.

"Erni, how's the promotion of the release of "囧囧" going?"

Calling Ni Ni, Xu Ge asked with a smile.

At this time, in addition to being Xu Ge's girlfriend, Ni Ni was also the vice president of Xu Ge's film and television distribution department. When Xu Ge let go, she was the real boss of the distribution department and held a high position of authority.

"We have invested 10 million in promotional funds to fully warm up, ensuring that "囧囧" will become an instant hit!"

It is said that one force can defeat ten societies. Under the absolute Jinyuan offensive, the news that "囧囧" is about to be released has spread almost throughout the Great Xia. As the Chinese New Year approaches, everyone wants to have fun.
As the only comedy film released during the Spring Festival, "囧囧" has a high chance of success.

"That's good," Xu Ge smiled. He waved to Ni Ni and said softly, "My Erni is here. I believe that with your participation, the box office of "囧囧" will be unexpected!"

"The comedy effect of "囧囧" is very good, and the box office should not be lower than that of "Gift from Room No. 7"." Ni Ni walked up behind Xu Ge and gently pressed his head: "I heard that you have signed a contract with Baoqiang , do you plan to reuse him next year?”

Xu Ge closed his eyes comfortably: "Yes, Baoqiang has outstanding abilities and a very good personality and emotional intelligence. There is a big project ready to be handed over to him."

"What big project?" Ni Ni asked softly.

“Nowadays, there are more and more comedies, and traditional comedies are becoming more and more popular. If we don’t break through the box office, it will be difficult to guarantee.

This time "囧囧" reminded me,
If the film is combined with foreign elements, I believe the audience will find it fresh. "

"Foreign elements? What do you want to shoot?"

"It's not me, I don't have that much energy," Xu Ge chuckled, "A qualified leader must learn to delegate power.

In fact, there are many outstanding talents in the Daxia film industry. As long as you have a good vision, you will definitely be able to find outstanding talents. "

"You are the only one who dares to say this," Ni Ni kept his hands up: "How can others have such vision as you? Can you always hit the mark?

If mediocre people are selected and a big project is messed up, the entire company will be damaged. "

"The company will be listed next year, and I plan to do something big."

"big?"

"Yes," Xu Ge held Ni Ni's hands with his backhand and chuckled: "You think, if most of the top ten movies next year at the box office are produced by Xu Ge Film and Television, what will the effect be like?"

hiss!
Ni Ni took a breath of cold air: "Then next year won't it be Xu Genian?"

"Yes! What I want is Xu Genian!" Xu Ge smiled ambitiously: "What about Huayi, Guangguang, and Bona?
I want them to know that Xu Ge Film and Television is the real number one! "

Ni Ni looked at Xu Ge with admiration, and her liking for Xu Ge increased a lot again.

Beauty has always loved heroes,
Xu Ge was so powerful and domineering that he hit Ni Ni's weak spot.

With such a capable boyfriend, Ni Ni feels extremely safe.

Xu Ge closed his eyes and thought carefully.
What he just said was certainly not a lie.

"Lost in Thailand" and "Bear Bears" are just the beginning. The projects he is preparing to start this year are quite scary in terms of quantity and quality!
Let’s not talk about “囧”, the box office of 10 billion is not a big problem.
It is not difficult for "Bear Bears" to have a box office of over 100 million.

Apart from these two films,
"Famous" is also a billion-dollar blockbuster,
Even if you can't get one billion, it's not much different.

Besides,

In the new year, Xu Ge has many film projects.

Wu Jin has finished filming his scenes and will be filming "Wolf Warrior" after the Chinese New Year.

This is another 5 million-level blockbuster.

Not long ago, not long after "Charlotte Troubles" was finished, Shen Tong and the entire Happy Twist team took a fancy to "Bruce's Millionaire" and planned to adapt it into "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

Of course, Xu Ge fully supports this painful classic masterpiece.
It cost 300 million to buy back the adaptation rights.

The film is currently in the preparation stage and will start shooting immediately after the Chinese New Year.

This is another blockbuster worth at least 10 billion!

After winning Baoqiang, "Detective Chinatown" can naturally be put on the table.
Xu Ge plans to match him with Xiao Zhan,

Then get Xiao Yang and Chen Chichi and Xiao Shenyang over, and then invite the scumbag Cheng,
Another masterpiece is about to be released!
At Xu Ge's reminder, Han Yan wrote another script called "Life Events".

Xu Ge has been thinking about this Zhu Yilong's masterpiece for a long time.

Pair him with Xiao Zhihan, and the three of them together, I believe they will create a new box office myth for literary and artistic films!
After "囧 in Thailand", "囧 in Hong Kong" can naturally be put on the agenda.

As long as this film has the iron triangle of Xu Zheng and Wang Bo Baoqiang, the box office will definitely exceed that of the previous film.

Needless to say, "The Wandering Earth" is Xu Ge's masterpiece this year. Xu Ge not only plans to win the box office championship in the summer,

He also has higher ambitions...

Counting this way, excluding the two anime "Bear Bears" and "Your Name", he has a total of eight live-action blockbusters in his hands!
If they can all be released in 2012 and occupy eight lists, it will definitely not be difficult!
When I think that the film industry will be named "Xu Genian" in the future in 2012,

Xu Ge couldn't help but get excited!

He has already earned enough money and has enough women.
Fame has naturally become the first choice right now!
Once this achievement is achieved, coupled with the equally rapid development of the television industry,
Xu Ge has reason to believe that he will leave his name in history...

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

The time has come to January 2012, 1, which is New Year’s Eve.

Also on this day,
The long-awaited "囧囧" and the slightly promoted "Bear Bears" were finally released nationwide on the same day!
On the first day of its release, with sufficient publicity and bombardment, and under the leadership of Xu Ge Film and Television, the shining golden brand, "囧囧" took a super high box office of 5038 million on the first day of its release! Shocked Daxia!

Countless filmmakers were shocked by this number!

5 million in a single day, this is a figure that only the top directors can get!

Xu Zheng is a fledgling director?

Even with Xu Ge Film as his platform, how could he create such high figures so quickly?
At the same time, "Bear Bears", which was originally not expected by anyone, also unexpectedly became a hit.
With only 12% of the film schedule, it received 1370 million box office on the first day!
Once this data comes out, it almost means that "Bear Bears" will definitely have a box office of over 100 million!

As the first domestic animation, if "Bear Bears" can get over 100 million in box office, it will definitely be a milestone victory!
At this time, the entire film industry could not sit still.

It's only the first month of the new year. Is Xu Ge Film and Television going to hit the big time again? !

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, on this day, "Waiting for the Wind" premieres nationwide!
As a replica of "Love Is Not Blind", it is promoted vigorously by a new director named Teng Huatao, and with Huayi's support, its first-day box office is certainly good.

"Waiting for the Wind" took in a box office of 2632 million on the first day. Looking at the momentum, it is clear that it is heading towards the 2 million or 3 million level!

However, they didn't wait long for their happiness. The next day, the box office of "Waiting for the Wind" plummeted by nearly 30%, taking in 1987 million.
Then 1565 million on the third day, 1012 million on the fourth day,
The box office is shrinking rapidly day by day, which shocked Teng Huatao!

Also shocked were the Wang brothers. Originally, they had prepared champagne to celebrate Teng Huatao's victory, but what they were waiting for was such tragic news.

For a moment, the two of them looked at me and I looked at you, and together they uttered the quintessence of Chinese culture: "Fuck! So you are really a idiot?! Xu Ge tricked us again!"

"Waiting for the Wind" has a ridiculous plot, old themes, and low appeal to the audience.
The reason why we achieved good results on the first day is all because of the fans of "33 Days After Love".

Seeing that "Waiting for the Wind" was such a flop, these fans were extremely disappointed and collectively gave it an ultra-low score of 4.7!

At this point, "Waiting for the Wind" is no longer expected to exceed 100 million and faces huge compensation!
