During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 373 The winner takes all and does not follow the rules
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight penetrated the floor-to-ceiling glass and fell on the snow-white bed. In conjunction with the biological clock that had been cultivated for a long time, Wei Jin woke up from a deep sleep.

Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Wei Jin turned to look at Jing Tian, ​​who was still sleeping, and a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily.

Wei Jin had to admit that although he was not yet 24 years old, Fuguihua in cheongsam was definitely in full form, and the temptation was too great for him to resist.

Feeling the warmth coming from the girl's delicate body, Wei Jin felt a little hot again.

While holding the little girl's big orange with one hand, Wei Jin rubbed it on her flawless and pretty face.

Not surprisingly, even though he was in a deep sleep, Jing Tian still gave Wei Jin feedback while murmuring in a low voice.

"Yeah~~brother"

Wei Jin raised a smile on his lips and turned the girl to the other side.

Soon, with Wei Jin's skillful techniques, the little girl was ready.

"Oh~~~"

"As a graduate student in the directing department, Zhao Yanzi chose a youth film for her graduation film. Obviously she also knows that not everyone's graduation film can win the Berlin Golden Bear."

However, Wei Jin has to admit that although this film is bloody and has a mediocre reputation, its box office figures are still good.

Zhao Yanzi's graduation drama, which has been postponed for three years, is finally no longer secretive and has been made public.

There are also many familiar artists in the industry, such as Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun, Deng Chao and his wife, Hu Jun, Wu Jing, etc., as well as many directors, such as Ning Hao and his wife, Gu Changwei and his wife, etc. The scene is comparable to an award ceremony. on site.

On the 13th, Sunward Media held the premiere of "The Secret of the Dragon" in the auditorium.

In this regard, Xue Xiaolu first stood up to support. As an academic teacher, she was indeed not good at socializing.

"Zhao Yanzi, a 06 graduate student in the Directing Department of Nortel, has officially approved the graduation drama "To Our Fading Youth" and has begun casting!"

Within three days of its release, "Thirteen Hairpins" grossed 1.39 million at the box office, completely igniting the Lunar New Year atmosphere.

The film market is like this, the strong will always be strong, and the winner will take all!

Not only did I not get the first chance to grab the Lunar New Year slot, but I was also rubbed against the ground by "33 Days of Love," which was released in its later stages.

Currently, "Hongmen Banquet" has been released for less than half a month. After the total box office struggled to exceed 1.5 million, it was completely reduced to cannon fodder.

After patting the assistant's cheek, Wei Jin reached out to pull her up and pressed her down on the desk with his backhand.

Theaters are very realistic. Since the movie is not a hit, the film schedule is bound to drop significantly.

The first-day figure of 4160 million made the industry breathe a sigh of relief. This is the box office that should be achieved during this popular Lunar New Year period.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Wei Jin lowered his head to assist Huang Mengying and smiled with satisfaction.

As a movie with an investment of 1.2 million, and the director is Wu Ershan from the 3 million club, "The Secret of the Dragon" obviously has this qualification.

In terms of artists, almost all artists from Huayi and Star Culture were present as long as they had no announcements or filming appointments.

However, with Wei Jin's current status, ordinary small companies or top stars in the industry are basically not qualified to surround him.

After all, the divisible box office of "33 Days of Love" is as high as 2.07 million. After deducting the publicity and production costs, the profit is at least 1.8 million. Sunward Media can be said to have made a lot of money.

At the same time, "33 Days of Love" took advantage of the last weekend's box office dividends and chose to be released. The final box office revenue was 5.18 million.

With a low roar, Wei Jin started his morning exercises
The first-day box office data of "Thirteen Hairpins" is out.

Wei Jin read the information on the Internet while enjoying the assistant's service.

However, although there was no celebration banquet, Wei Jin still gave Xue Xiaolu a big red envelope.

"Lao Han and Lao Wang are really willing to give up tens of millions to a new director, tsk tsk."

Whether they are industry insiders or celebrities, there are quite a few people who come to support the event.

On the second day, the box office revenue was 4820 million, and on the third day, the box office revenue was 4960 million, setting a continuous record for the highest single-day box office for Lao Mouzi movies.

He didn't expect that he went shopping at Nortel two days ago and saw news about Nortel today.

Wei Jin noticed that among the investors of this film, Optical Fiber and China Film Group accounted for the majority, and the rest included China Television and China Television Media.

To be honest, Wei Jin really didn't know what to say when he saw the news on the Internet. The media frequently compared Zhao Yanzi with himself, which was very unkind to both himself and her.

After all, Xue Xiaolu is different from the company's contracted directors. The projects she directs have her own investment share. She only receives the basic director's salary, so Wei Jin naturally has to make some compensation.

The premiere was a star-studded scene. Although the only producers were Shanhe Media and Huayi Brothers, these two companies are the leading companies in the industry.

Because the celebration banquet for "The Secret of the Dragon" was about to come, and several of the leading actors had film appointments and announcements, Wei Jin did not hold a celebration banquet.

Thinking of this, Wei Jin felt that youth films might be the next direction.

At this moment, Wei Jin was surrounded by Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Wang Zhonglei and others.

After the reputation collapsed, due to the popularity of the Lunar New Year show, it still took in four to five million in box office every day. However, with the release of "Thirteen Hairpins", the single-day box office dropped to less than 200 million.

Even well-known industry executives such as China Film Group chief Han Sanping and Fiber Optic King Changtian came to support the show. As for other production companies in the industry, even more came.

After entering the weekend, the performance of "Thirteen Hairpins" became even stronger.

In comparison, "Hongmen Banquet" can be regarded as a bad year.

Although due to Zhang Weiping's previous backstabbing, some theaters were missing a film schedule, Lao Mouzi's appeal is still undoubted.

Shanhe Building, Chairman's Office.

"It is reported that Zhao Yanzi and Wei Jin both belong to the 06-level directing department, but the former has postponed his graduation for three years due to personal reasons."

"Mr. Wei, how much box office do you think "The Secret of the Dragon" can have?"

Huayi Premium has won 20% of the investment share. Wang Zhonglei is naturally very concerned about the box office.

But seeing this guy, Wei Jin was a little angry.

A few days ago, Huayi made a big joke. The front leg was still preparing to dig out the national master, but the back leg had a fire in its own backyard.

Actor Ge You, who has been with Huayi for more than ten years, was poached by Yinghuang with huge sums of money.

Yinghuang specially held a signing ceremony for Ge You in Xiangjiang, and the contract was for five years.

He also promised to create three major productions tailored for Ge You within five years, with a total investment of no less than 5 million. As soon as the news came out, the circle was suddenly not calm.

You know, over the years, Huayi's most profitable movies have been almost all co-produced by Feng Dapao and Ge You, and there has never been an exception.

Even Huayi’s original prospectus clearly stated: Feng Xiaogang’s team is Huayi’s core productivity.

As we all know, Ge You is the core of Feng Xiaogang's team.

Ge You's departure was nothing less than an earthquake for Huayi.

Although Huayi's big and small kings immediately jumped out and issued several announcements, the core message was that Ge You's departure would have no impact on the company, and they repeatedly emphasized that Feng Xiaogang's team would always stay at Huayi.

Even Feng Dapao stepped forward and posted several Weibo posts in an attempt to stabilize military morale.

But investors didn't believe it. Huayi's stock price began to plummet that day. Over the past week, the drop had exceeded 20%.

It can be said that in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people were sitting at home, and disasters came from the sky, and their net worth evaporated by hundreds of millions out of thin air.

Therefore, in the face of Wang Zhonglei's inquiry, Wei Jin just responded with a neither salty nor bland tone.

"The minimum guarantee is 8 million."

To be honest, although the movie "The Secret of the Dragon" in the previous life also achieved good results, it was released in 15.

Now that it is four years ahead of schedule, Wei Jin will definitely not be able to achieve the original results.

However, relying on the brand name of Shanhe Media and the influence of the original novel, Wei Jin is confident that the 10 billion box office should be safe.

Wei Jin thought he had spoken conservatively, but unexpectedly, everyone around him was shocked.

"Wei Jin, are you really so optimistic? The momentum of "Thirteen Hairpins" should not be underestimated."

Han Sanping said with some surprise, and everyone on the side also nodded, some doubting that Wei Jin was too much.

After all, Lao Mouzi's appeal is unquestionable, and the reputation of "Thirteen Hairpins" is not bad, with a score of 8.2 points on Yinyin.com, which can be said to be full of stamina.

More importantly, just today, news came from the other side of the ocean that "Thirteen Hairpins" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

You know, as the vane of the Oscars, the importance of Golden Globe nominations is beyond doubt.

Although Wei Jin has won several Golden Globes and Oscars, the domestic film industry is still obsessed with Oscars.

So as soon as the news was announced today, the domestic film and television and entertainment circles were completely excited.

The media also made special statistics and found that only three Chinese-language directors, Poets Chen, Li An, and Wei Jin, had won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

"Thirteen Hairpins" immediately became a hot topic on the Internet, and the publicity effect was immediate.

According to real-time reports from the theater chain, many viewers have already entered the cinema today.

If nothing else happens, the box office data of "Thirteen Hairpins" will continue to hit new highs tomorrow morning. I believe that as the popularity continues to ferment, it will maintain a high momentum.

Under such circumstances, no one could help but doubt Wei Jin's judgment, even if his predictions were always accurate.

"Everyone will know after watching the finished film."

Wei Jin disagreed. In the end, movies still have to rely on quality to speak for themselves. Winning awards will not necessarily bring in more box office, not to mention that "Thirteen Hairpins" is currently only nominated.

To be honest, Wei Jin really didn't understand the thoughts of insiders.

On one side, Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping wrote a letter of thanks in English to the Golden Globe Awards organizing committee. All the participating actors forwarded it, showing their extreme desire for the award, which can even be said to be a bit humble.

On the other hand, they paid very little attention to other people's rules and did not do any corresponding public relations there. At least Wei Jin did not hear any relevant news.

Just arranging an ordinary promotional reception is of no use, right? Do you still want to win an award? Isn’t that a huge insult to the U.S. dollar?

But regarding the box office matter, Wei Jin is not going to argue with them, the market will give the best answer.

The premiere ceremony began soon, and many of the main creators were already being interviewed on stage.

As a director, Wu Ershan spoke first.

"I'm very grateful to Mr. Wei for giving me this opportunity. To be honest, I was a little nervous at first. After all, it was an investment of 1.2 million, haha."

"I have put a lot of thought into this movie. I have been thinking about it for several months just to divide the shots. The shooting time is close to 4 months, and the post-production cycle is more than 6 months. I can guarantee that "The Secret of the Dragon" will be a sure success. Won’t let everyone down.”

"As for how much the box office can be, of course the higher the better. Mr. Wei often said that to surpass yourself, the box office must improve every time. I believe that in the popular Lunar New Year period, "The Secret of the Dragon" It will definitely be more eye-catching than the box office of "Painted Skin 2""

When Wu Ershan spoke, he completely mistook Wei Jin for Bole, so his true feelings were revealed.

But it sounds a bit gross. At least Wei Jin felt a bit embarrassed in the audience.

However, Wei and Jin have to admit that Wu Ershan still has some abilities. As for what will happen in the future, who can say it accurately?
As long as you can make money for yourself now, then everything is fine.

As one of the main creators, Liu Yifei, dressed carefully today, seemed to be surrounded by fairy spirit, which naturally attracted the attention of many media.

Facing the microphone handed over to her, the little girl behaved very appropriately and chatted generously about many interesting things during the filming process.

The rest, Pan Yueming, Li Dazui and others also added a few words.

The interview soon ended and the movie screening began.

Sunward Media's version of "The Secret of the Dragon" has not changed much in terms of script, but the special effects are definitely much better than the original version, and the time is also controlled at about 115 minutes.

As the movie came to an end, there were bursts of applause, and many audiences and industry insiders were discussing the movie.

"This special effect indeed took 6-7 months to produce. It really has the texture of a blockbuster film."

"The adaptation of the story is also very reasonable, and the casting is amazing. Liu Yifei's Shirley Yang looks like she stepped out of the book. She is beautiful and sassy. I love it."

"."

After Han Sanping watched the finished film, the balance in his heart began to tilt. He really believed in Wei Jin's judgment.

However, Lao Hantou looked a little unhappy. China Film Group didn't even eat one bite of such a big cake. Wouldn't it mean a big loss if rounded up?

Wang Changtian felt a little regretful at this moment. Regardless of whether it could reach 8 million at the box office, this film was definitely going to make a lot of money. It was a pity that he didn't have the courage to pay a premium to win the share.

In contrast, Huayi Wang Zhonglei is in a very happy mood. Although he only got 20% of the share for million, he believes that the box office will definitely bring huge returns, not to mention the previous increase in the stock price.

For a moment, Wang Zhonglei felt that he had won.
