During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 260 Jing Tianyou’s art pursues the era of 10 billion

Contrary to Wei Jin's expectation, the Waterloo incident at the Golden Globe Awards did not cause much turmoil in the country. Fortunately, he notified the group's public relations department to be prepared to deal with public opinion.

In fact, if you think about it, it is the same. It is normal to fail to win the nomination. People like Lao Mouzi, Chen Shi, etc. compete for the Olympics every year, but fail every time. Everyone's mental endurance has been trained long ago. , at most a little disappointed.

What's more, Wei Jin also won the Best Screenplay Award, which has brought glory to the country, and public opinion will naturally not be harsh on him.

Media reports are more about interpreting the "inside information" of the Golden Globe Awards. After all, even foreigners' own media are criticizing it.

Not only that, the domestic public opinion atmosphere even made Wei Jin feel a little warm. Many enthusiastic netizens went to his Weibo to comfort him and encourage him to keep up his efforts and win another Oscar.

In response, Wei Jin posted a special Weibo post:
"Thank you for your encouragement. Everything in the past is prologue. See you at the Oscars in March!"

This Weibo post was quickly liked and retweeted by netizens, and its popularity instantly increased. It was on the Weibo hot search list in less than half an hour.

Just when everyone thought that Wei Jin would definitely wait in North America for the Oscars to be announced and then return home with great honors, he and Zeng Li had quietly returned to China.
-
In Shanhe Media, in the chairman's office, Wei Jin was comforting Mr. Xu.

"Director Xu, don't think too much, this result is already very good."

But from a business point of view, the cost of this movie is 8000 million, which is only about 1 million including promotion and distribution. The combined box office in China, Hong Kong, and Wanwan has exceeded 3.8 million.

When it comes to 3D, Mr. Xu seems to be in high spirits and talks a lot about his understanding and insights.

As soon as the news came out, the whole circle was excited. As a top director, Lao Mouzi returned to the field of literary films where he is best at. The temptation for actors in the industry was too great.

Looking at Old Monster Xu's back as he hurriedly left, Wei Jin burst into laughter. He was indeed a very pure filmmaker.
-
Perhaps because of the blow brought by "Three Guns", Lao Mouzi's team announced in a high-profile manner that they would restart the previously prepared script-"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

"By the way, Xiaojin, do you want to hold Dudu's 100-day banquet?"

"Forget it, judging from the name, it should be about the love of the times. It's not appropriate for my age either."

"Let's do it. The time is set before the Spring Festival. Let's call the uncles and aunts. Let's celebrate the New Year. By the way, let's see if Dad has chosen a good name for his sweet granddaughter."

This is also a traditional skill of major domestic directors. After the failure of "The Promise", Poet Chen also chose to return to the field of literary films and shoot the biographical film "Mei Lanfang".

The two of them chatted more and more enthusiastically. At a certain moment, Old Monster Xu seemed to have suddenly touched a switch.

During this period, the domestic film market was still dominated by "Avatar". Under the ravages of this Hollywood behemoth, no domestic film could survive, and "The Empire of Heaven" was no exception. In the days since Wei Jin left, The box office has barely moved, still 2.7 million, just a fraction more.

"Sister Li, do you want to try it?"

Because of being in North America, Dudu didn't have any full-moon drinks. Wei Jin felt that the sense of ceremony was still very important, even though the little guy might not understand anything.

The reason why Wei Jin was relieved was because he was afraid that Old Monster Xu would not be able to accept it psychologically. After all, being pressed down and beaten really hurt his self-esteem.

Wei Jin is also willing to share his views and insights. After all, he and Cameron have discussed this topic alone.

However, compared to Poet Chen, netizens seem to be more friendly to Lao Mouzi, and there are many posts of support. After all, the Olympic halo is too powerful.

Zeng Li was not fooled. Although she felt a little moved in her heart, firstly, she already had a lot of honors. Secondly, she really felt that it was not in line with her role. Thirdly, nothing was as important as Dudu now.

It has made tens of millions in box office share alone. Including 1200 million in pre-roll ads and 800 million US dollars in copyright transactions, the profit is nearly 1 million. It can be said to be a great success.

Wei Jin looked at Zeng Li with some ridicule. As a graduate of the Chinese Opera Class in the 90s, when Lao Mouzi was a student at the top three universities in Europe, killing everyone, he was definitely interested in participating in Lao Mouzi's movies. Obsessive.

"Mr. Wei, I suddenly had an idea in my mind. That's it for today. I have to go back and grab the inspiration."

"Mr. Wei, I have also experienced great storms. To be honest, I felt a little uncomfortable at first. But after watching "Avatar", I have to admit that Cameron is really awesome. The 3D special effects are really great. I think "

Many people are starting to look for opportunities, hoping to seize this opportunity. After all, Lao Mouzi's literary film will definitely be shortlisted for the film festival, which means there is a good chance of winning the top three European actors and actresses.

"Then can I invite Jingjing? Let her bring the child too. We have agreed to be the godmother of each other's children."

Maybe it's really the friendship between sisters. Hu Jing also gave birth to a child at the end of November last year, a boy, who was only about ten days younger than Dudu.

"Of course, Sister Li, except for our elders, you can decide the rest of the invitation list yourself."

There is no problem with Dudu's existence and small-scale notification. No one would be so bored as to risk offending Wei Jin by exposing this matter.

What's more, Wei Jin also believed that Zeng Li knew who could and could not be invited.

"okay"
-
Lao Mouzi is indeed very energetic, and casting for the "Hawthorn Tree" project is already underway.

Everyone in the circle is paying attention, and they don't know which lucky person will become the next "Mr. Girl".

At the same time, Huayi announced the news of its breakup with Zhou Xun.

You know, with "The Wind" last year, Zhou Xun won the Golden Horse Best Actress and became the first mainland actress to win three gold medals and Grand Slam Best Actress. In addition, she holds the original shares of Huayi. If she does not renew her contract, it will definitely be a big deal for Huayi. It's major negative news.

In order to stabilize the stock price, Wang Zhonglei held an emergency press conference, saying that there was no conflict between the two parties and it was entirely Zhou Xun's personal choice. Huayi respects the reasonable demands of every artist and behaves very generously.

Despite this, Huayi's stock price also fell slightly, which made the big and small kings heartbroken.

"I didn't expect the stock market to be so dangerous. Just one piece of news and I lost almost 100,000."

Zhou Xun left Huayi and immediately invited Wei Jin and Huang Xiaoming to dinner. Most of her current net worth comes from Huayi's stocks.

"But speaking of it, I have to thank you two for forcing me to buy the stock. The termination of the contract this time was unexpectedly smooth."

"Hey, as a shareholder, if you turn around and write some essays, Huayi will lose tens of millions, and the Wang brothers are not stupid."

After artists hold shares in the company, their status will be greatly improved, and in some cases it can even affect the company's market value. This is one of the reasons why Wei Jin divested artist managers.

"That's not the case. Mr. Wang is also a man of face. It's easy for everyone to get together and disperse."

Huang Xiaoming, who has just returned from the filming of "Tang Bohu 2", is used to smoothing things over. Unlike the two people in front of him, he can speak so casually.

Zhou Xun glanced at Huang Xiaoming and remembered something.

"Xiao Ming, I remember your contract is about to expire, right?"

Huang Xiaoming nodded: "Well, the three-year contract we signed is about to expire."

"Then what are your plans next?"

"To be honest, I want to open a studio so that I can make investments and be a producer conveniently. I can promote myself and sign new people. I'm not as good as Mr. Wei, and I can be a small boss and feel free, haha. "The two people in front of them are not talkative people. Huang Xiaoming did not hide it, but told them his plan frankly.

"The relationship is good, but I don't have your talent, so I'll have to rely on Old Wei for support in the future. Mr. Wei, shouldn't you just ignore others?"

Zhou Xun winked at Wei Jin and deliberately changed his voice to make the latter's skin crawl.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Wei, what are you doing?"

Huang Xiaoming also responded quickly. After all, there were examples of Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei before him.

"Well, we have already discussed it. After I take a break, I will go to Shanhe Media to sign a contract. Old Wei, are you ready for the signing ceremony?"

Zhou Xun's words were filled with a bit of ridicule and a bit of expectation. The previous stars of the studio had all received generous gifts. She felt that with her relationship with Wei Jin, there would be no difference.

"Movies, TV series, you choose."

Wei Jin is not stingy either. Zhou Xunka's acting skills are all here, which will definitely add to the project.

"Mr. Wei, what you said has made me excited. Why don't you come and join me in my studio?"

Before Zhou Xun could speak, Huang Xiaoming interrupted first. Being his own boss did not mean being a solitary person. If he could use the resources of Shanhe Media, his starting point would undoubtedly be much higher.

"Okay, but there are no signing gifts for male artists, haha."
-
After the dinner party, Wei Jin came to Dongshan Villa.

What he didn't expect was that Jing Tian also had ideas for Lao Mouzi's new movie.

"Brother, can you go and ask for me?"

"Director Zhang and I are not very familiar."

Wei Jin's hands roamed over Jing Tian's increasingly curvy body, and his intention to ask for benefits was obvious.

"No matter how unfamiliar you are, you are still better than me. Just ask for me~~"

Of course Jing Tian knew what the man was planning, and he had already started to do it as he spoke.

Although he was not optimistic, Wei Jin still agreed, and it was just a phone call anyway.

"Okay, I'll help you ask if it's suitable, but if you get hit, don't blame me."

While talking, Wei Jin took out his cell phone and dialed Lao Mouzi, and Jing Tian sensibly knelt down.

"Director Zhang, why bother you so late?"

After the call was connected, Wei Jin quickly expressed his intention to come, and the little girl below him also began to slow down and pricked up his ears to listen for news.

"If it were for other movies, I would really be able to give you a favor and let Jing Tian come and audition. But for this movie, I won't hide it from you. What I need are pure newcomers who have never acted or had any love experience. I am an amateur, so..."

Wei Jin understood what Lao Mouzi said, but he didn't care.

"It's okay. Thanks to Director Zhang for clarifying the doubts. Is Director Zhang going to audition at an art school next?"

"Well, it will be done within two months at most."

Lao Mouzi had already sent out several assistant directors to select people from well-known domestic art theaters. He seemed to have something in mind, so he specifically mentioned it.

"Wei Ping is still very supportive of me in terms of literary and artistic films."

Wei Jin could naturally understand that the copyright transaction of literary and artistic films was the big deal, and quality was the key. If Zhang Weiping dared to interfere, he would be cutting off his own financial path.

"Okay, Director Zhang, I won't disturb you for now. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin patted the little girl's head.

"You heard it, you don't meet the most basic requirements."

"Forget it, I heard that Professor Zhang's acting skills are very good, and I want to see it."

This explanation made Wei Jin relax. As long as he didn't want to win a prize, he really couldn't help him.

Currently, among the four women, except Zeng Li, the other three have no awards, but when it comes to winning awards, Gao Yuanyuan has a little hope, and the acting skills of Jing Tian and Liu Yifei are just good enough for commercial films. Literary films are still far behind.

"You can forget about movies, but you can't do that here."

While talking, Wei Jin picked up the little girl by the waist. A moment of spring night was worth a thousand pieces of gold, so there was no time to waste.

"Well, it's all up to you, brother."

Holding the man tightly, Jing Tian's heart was filled with anticipation.

At the previous meeting, Tong Ju said that the box office of "Avatar" would most likely exceed 10 billion, and now it has come true.

The domestic film market has produced the first movie with a box office of 10 billion yuan, which also means that the mainland film market has officially entered the era of 10 billion yuan for a single movie.

This matter is being reported on the Internet. Currently, the domestic movies ranked behind "Avatar" on the domestic box office list are "The Martian" and "Super Body", but the latter two together can only surpass "Avatar" at the box office. "That's all."

This data was used for comparison by netizens, and it seemed very dazzling. Many netizens went to Wei Jin's Weibo to ask when he would regain the top spot at the box office. After all, he was the most promising to achieve this achievement.

In this regard, Wei Jin has no way to express his position. "Avatar" will not stop at 10 billion, at least this year he cannot do it.

However, Wei Jin thinks that this is a good thing. At least "Avatar" allows everyone to see where the ceiling of the current domestic film market is.

You must know that the factors that determine the capacity of a film market are nothing more than two aspects.

One is the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies, which depends on the quality of the movie and the level of consumption.

In this regard, Wei Jin and Shanhe Media have cultivated the audience's movie-watching habits, and the emergence of Impression.com has given audiences a clear understanding of how to choose movies.

The second is the infrastructure construction of theater chains, which depends on the confidence of theater chains in the film market.

The emergence of Shanhe Cinema Chain has greatly accelerated the process of cinema chain construction. Coupled with the rapid development of the film market in recent years, a new round of construction of major cinema chains has begun in full swing.

When the above two conditions are met, it will be the stage for the explosion of domestic movies.
