During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 374 A little farewell is better than a big explosion on the first day of marriage
After the premiere, media reports on the movie have already come out.

"At the premiere of "The Secret of the Dragon", the auditorium was packed with seats!"

"China's first fantasy adventure blockbuster with special effects, "The Secret of the Dragon" directed by 3 million director Wu Ershan, premiered in Beijing today. The movie tells the story."

"Adapted from the best-selling novel, the much-anticipated fantasy blockbuster "The Secret of the Dragon" has arrived on the Lunar New Year holiday, and the premiere has received an overwhelming response!"

"."

One after another colorful reports, without the guidance of Shanhe Media, directly brought the premiere news to the hot search.

On Impression.com, many fans who attended the premiere also began to give their own ratings and comments.

Wen Yile: "Produced by Shanhe, it must be a high-quality product! "The Secret of the Dragon" has been adapted very well, and is not inferior to the original work at all!"

Zhan Lan’s original intention: “I heard that Tian Xia Ba Sing joined Shanhe Media. Good guy, there are eight chapters in “Ghost Blowing the Lamp”. We book fans will be in luck in the future!”

Fei Liang: "The plot is smooth, the special effects are stunning, and the actors perform wonderfully. "The Secret of the Dragon" is definitely worth watching. Highly recommended!"

"Mr. Zhang, data from the North American distributor shows that the current box office of "Thirteen Hairpins" is less than 10."

Liu Yifei, who has been vacant for a long time, has a pretty face with spring and charming eyes.

Facing the moonlight, Wei Jin made a promise and instantly became one with Liu Yifei, regardless of each other.

As soon as the news came out, his fans were waving flags and shouting to help support the cause, but most people in the circle were just looking at the joke, and some even ridiculed Guo Xiaosi directly on Weibo.

At the cocktail party, Liu Yifei was browsing the comments on the Internet, with a charming and pretty face smiling like a flower.

After the dinner, Wei Jin and Liu Yifei returned to the villa.

"Brother, love me well tonight"

As expected by the industry, after the nomination of the Golden Globe Awards, the popularity of "Thirteen Girls" is indeed very high. Although it is still a working day, the box office of the movie bucked the trend and rose, with a single daily receipt of 3880 million.

"Is there any news from North America? How is the box office?"

"I will spend a year adapting my novel into a movie script, and devote myself to learning directing skills, hoping to start filming this time next year."

Seeing the expectation in Zhang Weiping's eyes, the assistant opened his mouth, looking like he was hesitating to speak.

Even Zhang Weiping himself didn't notice that there was a hint of trembling in his tone, perhaps because of fear and worry.

Although this fun still had something to do with him, it did not prevent Wei Jin from watching with laughter while smoking.

Many people in the industry are predicting how many billions of box office revenue this year's Lunar New Year holiday can generate. Is it possible to reach 30 billion?

Under Liu Xiaoli's helpless gaze, Liu Yifei pulled Wei Jin up to the second floor.

As soon as the assistant finished speaking, Zhang Weiping felt like the world was spinning and he fell headlong into his office.

The achievement of exceeding 2 million in five days is quite impressive, and the atmosphere of the Lunar New Year holiday has been completely heated up.

"Say!"

Different from the joy of the industry and the expectations of the media, Zhang Weiping is now under great pressure.

Although Zhang Weiping doesn't take Wu Ershan and Xu Laoguai seriously, in any case, the two billion-dollar productions are bound to have an impact on the box office of "Thirteen Hairpins".

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, come quickly."

Although the performance of "Thirteen Hairpins" is pretty good, Zhang Weiping knows very well that this is due to the monopoly advantage formed by dominating the schedule.

As soon as they entered the room, the little girl couldn't wait to kiss him.

Wei Jin responded enthusiastically to this, of course. His hands flew up and down, and he quickly stripped the girl clean.

A passing comment: "I suggest you buy tickets for the IMAX hall directly. The visual effects are so shocking."

Now he can only pin his hopes on overseas box office, so Zhang Weiping hired an assistant.

The status in the entertainment industry is very clear. There is no doubt that directors are almost at the top of the food chain, so there has always been a saying in the industry that those who excel in acting lead to directing.

"Don't worry, Yifei, brother is here to love you."

But even if you don't take into account the release of subsequent movies, based on current data alone, it is impossible for "Thirteen Hairpins" to reach a box office of 10 billion.

Wu Ye: "It's not your fault that you are short, but you should be self-aware at least."

You must know that a large part of the investment funds for "Thirteen Hairpins" came from bank loans.

Just like Wu Jing, Xu Baldou, and Zhao Yanzi, after all, their main job is to be actors, so they have a good foundation for transitioning into directors.

After all, she has been busy promoting the movie for more than half a month, and there will be a road show later, so why not seize the time to make out with Wei Jin?

Not to mention, "The Secret of the Dragon" will be released soon, and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" will be released in half a month.

As of the 14th, "Thirteen Hairpins" has been in theaters for 5 days, with a total box office revenue of 2.1 million.

The south is like the north: "There are so many professional directors, how many of them can achieve great results? Do you really think they can be humans or dogs?"

This night, Liu Yifei felt the fulfillment and happiness she had not seen for a long time. It was really a little goodbye than a wedding.

Liang Ruixiao: "The Shirley Yang played by Liu Yifei is really beautiful and sassy."

Wei Jin didn't know Zhang Weiping's situation. He was watching entertainment online at the moment.

One of the collaterals is the film copyright of "Thirteen Hairpins", and the lender only has Xin Hua Mian. Who told Zhang Weiping to live alone in the first place?

But as a best-selling novel writer and a pure outsider, Guo Xiaosi has also begun to enter the film industry, which seems a bit funny.

Faced with doubts, Guo Xiaosi stood up and made a high-profile statement on Weibo.

"Director Wei Jin is also a best-selling author. He can become a top director. I believe that I can do the same through study. I hope everyone will keep his word. Please note that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty. "

The speech attracted praise from many fans, but also caused dissatisfaction among Wei and Jin fans.

Jade Emperor Sansan: "Wei Jin is an outstanding graduate of Nortel, a Palme d'Or winner, a Golden Bear director, and an Oscar director. What are you? A middle school dropout? You became popular by plagiarizing, and you really think you are a green onion?" Refuse to touch porcelain."

dragon? Lou: "You're thinking about shit, right? You just don't know how high the sky is and how high it is."

When he was in doubt, he had a bowl of wontons: "No doubt stupid, identification completed!"

"."

Looking through the comments from his fans, Wei Jin was in a good mood.

It’s okay for Guo Xiaosi to want to be a director, since he’s not spending his own money anyway, but Wei Jin firmly disagrees with it, so he likes some of the sharp comments.

Just as he was about to continue watching some other fun, Jiang Xueyuan walked in with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Wei, the subsequent broadcast rights of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" have been negotiated."

Listening to Jiang Xueyuan's report, Wei Jin held a cigarette in one hand and nodded from time to time. Since the launch of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the ratings have finally exceeded 5, and there is no doubt that it has secured this year's ratings championship.

Thanks to this, the rights to broadcast the second and third rounds have been robbed by many TV stations.

Four second-tier TV stations, led by Shancheng TV, Jingcheng TV, Huizhou TV, and Jiangzhe TV, as well as more than a dozen domestic local TV stations, and even Wanwan’s China Television and Xiangjiang’s HD Entertainment TV are also involved.

A total of 280 million yuan was offered for a single episode, which was higher than the price of the first-round broadcast rights.

In terms of online copyright, Tudou directly offered a price of 100 million for a single episode.

After all, the price of a single episode of this TV series is as high as 640 million, with a total revenue of 4.86 million. After deducting production costs and publicity costs, the profit exceeds 3.5 million, making it the king of sky-high-priced dramas.

Even though Wei Jin was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the news.

You must know that "Knives in the Snow", which was previously popular across the country, included the first, second and third rounds plus online broadcast rights. After conversion, the price of a single episode is only 480 million, with a total revenue of 1.92 million, excluding production and marketing costs. The profit barely exceeded million.

I have to say that compared to martial arts and fairy tale dramas about fighting and killing, not only the audience loves to watch Gong Dou drama, but TV stations also like it quite a lot.

No wonder, in the previous life, Boss Jia ran away. LeTV can still rely on the online copyright of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to earn more than 10 million yuan every year to support its employees. It can only be said that the long tail effect is too long.

After talking about the results of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Jiang Xueyuan reported on the work for a while.

Just as she was about to leave, Wei Jin remembered something and stopped her.

"By the way, it's up to you to communicate with the Sugar Man. Their efficiency is low, so keep an eye on them."

Although the project "Twilight Snow on Thousand Mountains" was left to Tangren, the company must send a team to ensure the quality.

Jiang Xueyuan also understood what Wei Jin meant. This time it was time to see how capable the sugar man who was as famous as Zhou Yi was.

"Okay, Mr. Wei."

The film bureau is really being guarded all year round. As soon as the script of "Beijing Meets Seattle" was submitted, companies in the industry already knew the news.

However, most of them didn't know the specific situation and were still waiting for the news to be announced. Only Han Sanping, relying on his status as the head of China Film Group, directly arranged for his secretary to go to the General Administration to inquire about the news.

"How is it? Whose script is it?"

Seeing the secretary come back, Han Sanping couldn't wait to ask.

"Director Han, is a new script directed by Xue Xiaolu, an urban romance film"

Han Sanping was a little disappointed when he heard this. If it wasn't Wei Jin's script, there would be no guarantee of profit.

Although Xue Xiaolu has become a director worth 5 million, no director dares to guarantee that his movies will be absolutely profitable.

After decades of working in the industry, Han Sanping had seen a victorious general in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

But when he thought about the revenue generated by "33 Days of Love", Han Sanping felt that he could still give it a try, and he immediately picked up the phone and called.

"Wei Jin, I saw Xue Xiaolu's script. Is the investment scale large?"

The meaning of Lao Hantou's call was very direct, and Wei Jin did not hide it.

"Director Han, the cost this time will not exceed 30 million."

Hearing this, Han Sanping frowned. He understood what Wei Jin meant.

"Boy, during the few times you worked alone, "Ocean Paradise" was a loss-making one, right? Are you very optimistic about Xue Xiaolu's script?"

Wei Jin fell into silence, and Han Sanping cursed in his heart, "This kid is getting harder and harder to fool."

"Okay, okay. With this cost, I'm embarrassed to say anything. I just called and said that the script review should be quick."

After a wave of forced respect, Han Sanping hung up the phone. He knew very well that whenever Wei and Jin chose to eat alone, it would be a classic of small and broad.

But with a cost of 30 million, as the head of China Film Group, Han Sanping really couldn't afford to lose face.

On the other side, just as Wei Jin hung up the phone, Wang Changtian called again.

Unsurprisingly, when he learned that the script was written by Xue Xiaolu, Lao Wang was very resolute. He didn't care about face as much as Han Sanping. Lao Wang valued practical things more. What could be more practical than box office and profit?
But Lao Wang is also very sensible. After all, Xue Xiaolu is not a newcomer like Guo Fan, so he is ready to pay a premium.

After a lot of pulling and pulling, Fiber Optic won 1000% of the investment share of "Beijing Meets Seattle" with an investment of 20 million, and Lao Wang hung up the phone happily.

On the 15th, "The Secret of the Dragon" is officially released.

Both movie fans and book fans have great expectations for the movie adapted from this best-selling book.

After the premiere, the reviews circulated on the Internet were also very good, which further deepened this expectation, so the pre-sale situation on Impression.com in the past two days has been quite hot.

Regarding this situation, theaters have already had experience, and the film schedules given are very good.

Needless to say, Shanhe Cinemas has a film scheduling rate of over 60%.

As the best ally, Wanda also provided more than 50% of the film schedule, and almost all other theaters also provided more than 40%.

According to feedback from theaters, the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies is quite high. Even though it is a working day, many theaters are already crowded and can only be described as packed.

And "The Secret of the Dragon" did not disappoint the theaters. The box office result of 4880 million on the first day directly announced the emergence of the king of the Lunar New Year season.

"The box office on the first day almost exceeded 50 million."

"To be able to achieve this figure even after "Thirteen Hairpins", the director is so awesome!"

"Director Wu Ershan, congratulations."

On the way to promote the road show, all the accompanying staff members were filled with joy and congratulated Wu Ershan.

Liu Yifei's pretty face showed a bright smile. At least she didn't show her teeth after being reminded by her assistant, but the little girl's tone was also very excited.

"Director Wu Ershan, I saw on the Impression.com app that the box office of "Thirteen Hairpins" has been suppressed. Is there any hope that our movie will exceed 10 billion?"

"Well, today is only Thursday, and the price should rise sharply in the next few days. There is indeed hope."

Wu Ershan, who is tall and tall, is as happy as a fat man weighing more than 10 pounds. He is smiling so hard that he can't close his mouth. If the box office can really exceed billion, he will be a great commercial director second only to Wei Jin. Let’s see who dares to underestimate him then.

Then Wu Ershan started cheering everyone up again.

"Yifei, Lao Pan, Big Mouth, the box office momentum is so good, our publicity road show cannot be left behind. Mr. Wei said before that when the ten-day road show is over, we will send red envelopes to everyone. In the next few days, we will work hard for everyone. ”

After speaking, Wu Ershan even bowed to everyone.

"Director, you are too polite. This is what we should do."

Liu Yifei, who has the highest status in the cast, directly stated that she is the heroine of this movie and she cares about the box office results the most.

"Yes, yes, director, don't worry, we all understand."

Everyone else also spoke up, and they were all very excited. The results on the first day were so impressive, and it felt like the following publicity roadshows were full of energy.
