During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 345: The Furious Sister of the Mountain Eagle is really good at playing

Shanhe Building, in the chairman's office.

After Wei Jin finished processing some of the company's documents, he took the time to pay attention to relevant information about the film market.

how to say? The film market in September can only be described as bleak.

Several imported films such as "Captain America" ​​and "The Abyss" directly overshadowed several domestic films released in the first half of the year.

The first ones to bear the brunt are "Global Love" and "Da Takesheng".

"Global Love" is a movie invested by Huayi, with a production cost of 2000 million. It hopes to replicate the original "Love in the City"'s box office achievement of over million.

However, the film was released for more than a week, and the box office was only 3600 million. However, the single-day box office has dropped to to million. Looking at this situation, let alone the box office exceeding million, I am afraid that there is some pressure to make back the money.

"Da Wu Sheng" is the work of the new cross-border director Gao Daqiang. This guy has roped in Han Geng and Wu Zun to star in an attempt to replicate the miracle of fan movies.

It's a pity that Han Geng and Jay Chou can't be compared, and there is a huge gap between Xiao Da and Lao Mouzi.

"Okay, don't be in a hurry, work slowly and carefully."

For a movie with an investment of 7000 million, the box office on the first day was less than 700 million. After more than a week of release, the box office was less than million. The single-day box office even fell below million. It was destined to lose money.

Near noon, Wei Jin felt a little strange when he received a call from Han Sanping.

"Painting Wall" teams up the couple Deng Chao and Sun Li as the main propaganda force.

"'Twenty Again' and 'Rescue Mr. My Life' are relatively simple and can be completed in about a month. 'Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons' has just begun and is estimated to take another four months."

Wei Jin nodded when he heard this. He had already had a premonition about the later stages of this film.

In the past two days, the first wave of stills and behind-the-scenes photos of "The Thief" have just been posted online, and they have attracted the attention of a large number of viewers and netizens.

On the other hand, several imported films almost all have a single-day box office of more than 10 million.

It is worth mentioning that both movies put the special effects of mountain and river ink into the focus of publicity and mentioned it frequently.

No pollution and good people: "You can always believe in the aesthetics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is really long and straight. It's amazing."

While watching, Wei Jin compared them in his mind, and actually made a lot of suggestions.

"Okay, wait for me for a while"

Patting Ning Hao on the shoulder, Wei Jin found the post-production technicians.

After understanding the progress of the project, Wei Jin and Ning Hao came to the small screening room and started pulling films.

"Understood, Mr. Wei."

Black wings: "Wang Li Tian is so handsome, but why is he a villain?"

As for "Overheard 2", which Hong Kong has high hopes for, its box office barely reached 2 million, but it has no stamina and has been released ahead of schedule.

"Junior brother, you are here just in time, help me look at this version of "Big Buddha"."

Not to be outdone, "Revolution of 1911" held its premiere in Jinling half a month in advance.

Even the low-cost production "Source Code" produced by Summit Entertainment has already earned more than 8000 million at the box office within two weeks of its release. The current single-day box office remains above 500 million, and it is obviously easy to break million.

Under this circumstance, the movie that will be released in late September has already begun to build crazy momentum.

Wuxiang Zhenren: "Zhang Hanyu is actually the villain? Looking at the name of the movie, are they all bad guys?"

With a strong cast and Wei Jin's self-written and directed signature, although the momentum is not that exaggerated, the audience's expectations are definitely the highest.

"Brother, I think this shot is..."

But there was no rush. After leisurely lunch at the company and a nap, Wei Jin slowly rushed to China Film Academy.

Ning Hao's eyes lit up when he saw Wei Jin. The later stage of this award-winning film was almost done, but he always felt that there was something unsatisfactory.

Wei Jin nodded when he heard this. Zhou Xingxing's efficiency was pretty good. "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" was completed in mid-July. This time, I switched to Shanhe Ink for post-production. The final effect of the film should be better. I hope there will be a new one at the box office. Height.

Shanghai Film Group's Ren Zhonglun even made a domineering statement at the premiere. This movie is targeting "The Founding of the Party" and "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and even surpasses the latter two in terms of word-of-mouth and box office.

As for "Thieves Alliance" produced by Shanhe Media, publicity has already started.

The forward movement stopped for a moment, and after waiting for a while, the secretary came out. Wei Jin pulled her and asked.

"what about others?"

"What's wrong with Director Han? You're so angry?"

Arriving at China Film and Television, Wei Jin walked to Han Sanping's office in a familiar way, but before he got there, he heard Old Hantou scolding him.

"Brother, how is the situation?"

The promotion of "The Legend of White Snake" is very interesting. Kung Fu Emperor Li Lian is used as a publicity stunt. On the local posters, his title almost overtakes the male lead.

"What's going on with those films?"

"Mr. Wei, it's about the "Great Cause of Party Building"

If they don't agree, they have to fight: "Isn't this Korean actress's figure too explosive?"

"Mr. Wei, "Gravity" has many special effects shots and a huge amount of CG screen work. All the equipment here has been used, but the efficiency is still not improved. According to the current progress, it will take at least 10 months."

The secretary was also familiar with Wei Jin and did not hide anything after hearing this.

Shaking his head and ignoring the speculations of netizens, Wei Jin came to Shanhe Ink and saw that Ning Hao was still busy editing, but Lu Yang had already disappeared.

"That's not a problem, is it?"

Wei Jin was a bit strange. "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" was released after 90 days of release, and the final box office revenue was 4.4 million.

Although this result is not as good as the first one, and it has not achieved China Film's goal, compared with the production cost, it is still profitable. Even if Han is in a bad mood, he will not get angry, right?

The secretary noticed Wei Jin's doubts and shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's not about the box office, it's about being short and tight"

With the secretary's explanation, Wei Jin figured out the whole story.

Just two hours ago, Gao Dajin, who had just been released from prison, posted a message on Weibo.

It can be said that "The Founding of the Party" stole the box office of "The Great Warriors" in the last ten days of its release, and it was even estimated that it stole 20% of the box office. It can be said to be conclusive!
This matter soon began to escalate. Han Geng and Wu Zun's idiot fans started to make fun of it, and even attacked the official Weibo of "The Founding of the Party".

At this moment, the comment area is full of all kinds of obscene words, which is unsightly.

Regarding the short and tight operation, Wei Jin shook his head. "The Founding of the Party" is a tribute film directed by Han Sanping himself. Isn't this just teasing the tiger's beard?
If Han Sanping doesn't teach him a lesson, then he will be famous as a mountain eagle. In the future, won't anyone dare to shit on old Hantou's head?

Sure enough, before Wei Jin could ask, the secretary rambled on about Han Sanping's handling method. In her opinion, this matter could not be hidden.

"Mr. Wei, I'm going to contact the heads of the major theater chains next. If I don't cut off all the films of "The Great Warrior" this time, I'm afraid Director Han will be very angry."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. Shanhe Cinema will fully cooperate with you."

After sending the secretary away, Wei Jin walked into Han Sanping's office. At this time, Old Han was drinking tea to rest his mind. It can be seen that Lao Han is still very good at nourishing qi, and there is no sullen look on his face now.

"Director Han, you summoned me in a hurry. What's the matter?"

Wei Jin sat carelessly on the guest sofa and lit a cigarette.

"you boy"

Seeing the acquaintance between Wei and Jin, Han Sanping laughed and cursed, then his face became serious again.

"I'm calling you here. I have something to tell you in advance. The number of imported films will be opened next year. Don't make a small budget all day long. Make a big production as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

When Wei Jin heard this, he sat up straight and said, "Has it been decided yet?"

"Not yet, but the negotiation note has been sent over there. The meaning is very clear. I will greet several leading domestic companies and major directors one by one. Let's be prepared to face the challenge head-on."

At this point, Han Sanping seemed a little angry again.

"Wei Jin, among private enterprises, Shanhe Media has to carry the banner. I'm afraid Huayi Brothers won't be able to point it out."

Wei Jin thought of the shareholder letter from Huayi on his desk and nodded.

Previously, Huayi had acquired a thousand acres of land each in Shanghai and Suzhou, but now its investment plans have come out.

Huayi is expected to invest 70 billion to build two "cultural cities", which can be described as a generous investment.

As soon as the news came out, Huayi's stock price soared, and there was all kinds of praise in the industry.

But the 70 billion capital volume has completely exceeded Huayi's investment in the film and television industry. Wei Jin and Han Sanping both understood that the two brothers were no longer interested in movies.

"Director Han, I understand."

Although Wei Jin's current net worth does not need to care about the box office gains and losses of the domestic film market, since he wants to build an entertainment empire, the film market must not give up.

Wei Jin has already made up his mind that the next filming speed must be accelerated, and the more relevant tool people, the better.

"Well, as long as you have an idea"

Seeing Wei Jin's rare seriousness, Han Sanping knew that he had listened.

After chatting for a while, Han Sanping remembered something.

"By the way, Wei Jin, do you have any ideas about "Exploding Drummer" competing for the Olympics?"

When Wei Jin heard this, he remembered that September 9th every year is the deadline for submissions to the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, and it was almost here.

But then something strange happened. According to the new policy requirements, only films that have been screened in China are eligible to be recommended to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Logically speaking, "Exploding Drummer" does not meet the requirements, right?

After Wei Jin expressed his doubts, Han Sanping shook his head.

"None of the films released this year are in line with the theme of competing for the Olympics. The Bureau wants to make an exception this time."

After listening to Han Sanping's explanation, Wei Jin somewhat understood that winning the Olympics was also a great political achievement for the film bureau, and the Tong bureau still wanted to choose the one with the most certainty.

"Director Han, although "The Exploding Drummer" won the jury award, the chances are slim for this subject type. I don't plan to spend that wasted money."

Han Sanping was not too surprised. He could see Wei Jin's plan from the sale of copyrights in Venice.

"Okay, then we can only think about it again."
-
After leaving Zhongying, Wei Jin went to Yanjiao Villa. During this time, he was always running around and spent too little time with Zeng Li and his daughter.

Zeng Li was pleasantly surprised to see Wei Jin.

"Why are you here? Isn't it Bazaar today?"

When Wei Jin heard this, he held Sister Li in his arms and said warmly.

"I won't go. Bazaar is there every year, so it's not interesting."

Bazaar Charity Night is now in its ninth year.

Although it is called charity, it is more of an entertainment nature. Many celebrities attend not because of their love, but just to gain exposure.

Wei Jin was really not interested in such an activity that was somewhat of a show.

Knowing that Wei Jin did not like this kind of occasion, Jing Tian and Liu Yifei were very considerate and did not force anything.

From this point of view, Wei Jin felt that it was impossible for him to capsize.

"But if you don't go, won't others gossip?"

"What nonsense? My donations over the years have been much more generous than Bazaar's. Besides, the company has arranged for an administrative representative to come over, so nothing can go wrong."

Wei Jin was telling the truth. The theme of this year's Bazaar is caring for poor children. In this regard, whether at the company level or at the personal level, he beat Su Mang countless times. Who dares to have an opinion?
"Besides, no activity is as important as you two."

Zeng Li was very happy to hear Wei Jin's words and cooked him his favorite Sichuan food in the evening.

After a warm dinner, Wei Jin played with his daughter for a long time.

It wasn't until the little girl fell asleep from exhaustion that Wei Jin got up and came to the bedroom.

I have to say that the mature sister is good. She can already create an atmosphere by herself and is really good at playing.

I saw that Zeng Li had already bathed and changed clothes, and put on Wei Jin's favorite set of pajamas. It seemed vaguely invisible, but looming and full of temptation.

At this time, Zeng Li was lying on her side on the bed, with a large piece of her chest exposed, her fair and plump thighs half-curved, and her short skirt could not cover Hunyuan's perky buttocks at all.

What a picture of a beautiful pear blossom sleeping in spring!

Seeing Wei Jin's delay in taking action, Zeng Li stretched out his slender white fingers, hooked them, and spoke coquettishly.

"Brother, how long do you want people to wait?"

Wei Jin's whole body was filled with excitement. I have to say that this tone, this tone, and this demeanor are definitely not matched by the acting skills of the Oscar-winning actress.

"Baby, don't worry, brother is here to love you."

Wei Jin quickly untied his restraints, jumped up, and pounced on him.

Soon, the shouts, cheers and applause in the room mingled together, like a grand symphony.——
Han Sanping's words are still very effective.

The next day, the movie "Da Takesheng" was directly cut off by more than 80% of the schedule in several major theaters.

The theater chain also gave a very legitimate reason:
"Due to the poor attendance and box office feedback of "The Great Takero", adjusting the film schedule is a reasonable market behavior!"

After just one morning, Xiao Dajin realized why Lord Ma had three eyes. He posted three consecutive Weibo posts to apologize, explaining that he had made a mistake.

It's a pity that the fire in Han Sanping has been ignited. How can a mere apology calm it down? No one can stop this killing of chickens to scare monkeys.

The box office performance of "Da Takesheng" was already very dismal, but now it has almost completely disappeared from the film market.

For a time, many companies that had just entered the film industry truly saw the elegance of the mountain eagle.
