Chapter 123 "Mobile Phone" draws 5100 million box office

3 month 15 number.

Jiang Liu received the official notice that "Mobile Phone" will be completely withdrawn from theaters.

As of March 3, "Mobile Phone", which was released in January, was screened in nearly 15 cinemas across the country for 600 days, earning a box office of 74 million yuan.

The box office result of 5100 million is gratifying for the three conglomerates, Yixin Film and Television, China Film and Bona.

Among them, Yu Dong from Bona was the most happy.

He knew Jiang Liu earlier, but missed "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger".

At that time, he would watch Jiang Liu count a lot of money, and he would beat his chest and stamp his feet every time.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Liu came up with the script of "Mobile Phone", he tried every means to borrow money and invest.

He was right about Jiang Liu. "Cell Phone" became an instant success after its release. By the time the film was completed, Bona had earned 400 to [-] million yuan.

This money is not much, but it is enough for Bona to gain a foothold in the industry.

Most people across the country have no idea what "Mobile Phone" is about, and they don't even know that there is any "Mobile Phone" movie.

But young people online, especially those who love movies, paid attention to the news that "Mobile Phone" ended with a box office of 5100 million.

In 2002, when the per capita salary was less than 5000 yuan, the news that Jiang Liu earned more than [-] million yuan from one movie was extremely eye-catching.

For a while, some people criticized it, while others envied it, until more explosive news appeared on the Internet, replacing Jiang Liu, "Mobile Phone" and the box office.

Jiangliu is short-lived and disappears easily on the Internet.

In the film industry, Jiang Liu relied on the popularity gained by "Cell Phone" to take root.

There will always be people in the industry who despise "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger," but the solid results of "Mobile Phone" leave people speechless.

Even multiple official and semi-official organizations sent Jiang Liu multiple invitations to join the association.

Film Society.

Directors Guild.

Writers Guild.

Television Drama Directors Guild.

Nanyi Teacher Cui Li called and asked him to go back to school and upgrade to a junior college degree.

At the age of 22, he became an outstanding alumnus of Nanjing University of the Arts.

CCTV, Phoenix TV, Sina, NetEase and many other TV stations and websites sent invitations for interviews.

After "Mobile" exceeded 5000 million in box office, Jiang Liu received many similar commendations and invitations, and it was obvious that many organizations had a change in his perception.

Jiang house.

On the second floor of the main room, white mist spreads from the boiling copper pot, bringing the pungent smell of red pepper to every corner.

"Turn off the fire, let's eat." Han Sanping put his hands on his hips and directed Jiang Liu and Yu Dong who were busy.

"Mobile Phone" has completed the division of accounts. The three of them met today to talk about the "Pirates" script.

The three of them originally planned to find a clean and warm hotel.

But after circling the city, they couldn't find it, so Jiang Liu simply brought the two of them to Jiang's house, which was under renovation.

Eating a copper pot on the second floor of the main room, looking at the Donghua Gate and Beichi Street with people coming and going, and looking at the Forbidden City not far away, the flavor was so unique that Han Sanping and Yu Dong were immediately envious as soon as they came up.

"Boss Han, Mr. Yu, please."

After asking the two of them to sit down, Jiang Liu opened three bottles of red wine, one for each person.

"I'll try the beef tendon first."

Boss Han picked up a piece of beef tendon, chewed it, nodded and said: "The beef tendon is very bad, the saltiness is just right, it looks spicy but it is just right, and the seasoning is also very good. Where did Xiao Jiang learn his craftsmanship?"

"I didn't have a teacher, so I loved to eat and drink since I was a child. I couldn't afford it before, but now I'm trying to do it step by step." Boss Han sighed: "It seems that in addition to your outstanding talent as a director, you also have a talent for gourmet food. We are so tricky. I might come to Jiang’s house more often to bother you in the future.”

"It's such an honor. No matter how good the food is, it's hard to eat it alone."

After Jiang Liu nodded happily, he added: "I plan to renovate the second floor into a reception area. In the future, I will build two pastures, raise some cattle and sheep, and build a seafood farm. In winter, come to my place to eat pure natural beef and mutton. .”

Han Sanping and Yu Dong looked at each other, and after confirming that they heard correctly, they couldn't help but look shocked.

Is there anything wrong with Jiang Liu?

Build a pasture for beef and mutton?

Do you engage in mariculture for the sake of seafood?
Not to mention whether to go to such great lengths to get a bite to eat.

Will Jiang Liu have so much money to invest?

But are the industries such as ranching and aquaculture too irrelevant to Jiangliu’s existing and thriving film and television companies?
It's simply a fantasy.

Han Sanping picked up his wine glass, touched it with Jiang Liu and Yu Dong, and said earnestly: "Xiao Jiang, don't aim too high, make the movie first."

"Also, as the old saying goes, men are afraid of choosing the wrong career, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. If they are not familiar with the business, they will not do it."

"You have sufficient funds. Instead of engaging in frivolous businesses such as ranching and seafood, it is better to invest in a cinema chain. There are nearly 15 billion people in our country, and there are only more than 900 cinemas registered nationwide. The gap is too big."

"The country has begun preparations to integrate cinemas and completely formalize cinema chains. This is a good business."

Jiang Liu nodded, put down his cup, leaned forward and said, "Boss, and Mr. Yu, we are not trying to slander our film market. How far do you two think our film market will grow in the future?"

"How big will it be in ten or 20 years? I personally think that tens of billions is a big deal, and that's when the market is good and everything goes smoothly."

Han Sanping said: "The market of tens of billions is already scary."

In 2002, the total box office of the national film market was only a few hundred million, and tens of billions were astronomical figures for Han Sanping.

"Tens of billions are scary, and there won't be much left if divided into various theater lines. Compared with the high construction and maintenance costs of movie theaters, I personally have no preparations and no money to build theater lines." Jiang Liu said seriously.

Jiang Liu deliberately missed the land value appreciation involved in building a movie theater.

Real estate is a huge thing. After a few years of working in it, he has a chance to become the richest man.

But there is also a high probability that he will become another Boss Xu and end up with a dismal ending.

He has the power of foresight.

But he also has self-knowledge.

He has desires, so he can't guarantee that he will never be greedy.

There are some things, some things, even if you reach out to touch them and try them, you won't be able to stop and fall into the trap.

As for only making movies and not doing theaters, will the big bosses of the theaters deliberately make things difficult for me in the future by short-scheduling films, stealing box office at midnight, etc.

After all, there is Wanda Wangjia Gongzi, the example of Weibo fighting Feng Dapao.

Jiang Liu knew this, but was not worried about it.

Commercial films and theater chains will always support each other.

If he becomes famous early, theater chains will not reject him at first, and they will even try to curry favor with the film studios in the off-season for the sake of box office.

He would never spend half his life offending all theater chains across the country, so that no theater chain would be willing to show Yi Xin's movies.

Another thing, since he is not in the theater business, he will lay out the video website in advance.

As long as Yixin holds a broadcast platform, it will never become a trapped beast at any point in time.

Finally, if Jiang Liu's Gengtian Gong Beverage Company and Gale Logistics developed into hundreds of billions of companies, he would still be making a shitty movie.

At that time, making movies was just a tool for his entertainment.
