During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 568: A Crazy Night with Ni Ni

In the film market, due to the strong opening day box office, the theater chain directly increased the screening schedule of "Time Traveler".

Even though there are only three points, but with the blessing of the weekend, "Time Traveler" seems to have ushered in a box office explosion.

On the second day of its release, the single-day box office directly exceeded the 5000 million mark, closing at 5180 million.

It fell back on the third day, but still approached the 4960 million mark, closing at million.

In the first three days of the weekend, "Time Traveler" directly earned 1.43 million.

This number is only a few million less than that of "So Young" and is not inferior to "A Man's Martial Arts".

The key point is that the reputation of the movie is so explosive, and the subsequent trend may be even more exaggerated than the above two movies, which makes colleagues in the industry very uncomfortable.

Because everyone knows that even including the publicity and promotion, the total investment of this movie is less than 50 million, and the profit will definitely be higher.

In comparison, the movie "Youth" had a bad start. After three days, the box office was only over 10 million.

However, the movie has a good reputation online, with an Impression.com score of 7.5. It seems that there should not be much pressure to make a profit.

People in the industry are expressing their feelings that perhaps if it were to be released at a different time, "Youth" would perform even better.

At the same time, "The Dragon King of the Gods" reaped the benefits of the last weekend and was taken off the screen, with the box office closing at 7.52 million yuan.

As the first movie to break 7 million in box office since March, Han Sanping and Wang Changtian had long suggested that a celebration party for "Shendu Dragon King" should be held properly.

Wei Jin did not refuse this. After all, it would be a piece of cake to just leave it to these two companies.

Instead, Fan Bingbing's wife called Wei Jin and said that the filming of "Godzilla" had not been completed yet, so she couldn't come back to attend the celebration party.

"I'll have to wait until next time for uncle to taste the prepared program."

"Hey, little bitch, next time I'm going to fill you up."

"Well~~ I will obey uncle~~"

"Made!"

This seductive voice made Wei Jin respectful, and he immediately called his assistant Huang Mengying to fill up the office.
With the end of the filming of "Dragon King of the Divine Capital", the screening schedule of "Time Traveler" has increased again.

Even during the working days, the daily box office still remains around 40 million.

As Wei Jin had said before, the first week of August is completely its world.

However, the movie "Youth" benefited a little from the success, with its screening rate rising from 8% to 12%.

However, the film is too small to cause any waves.

As for several other low-budget movies, such as Zhao Yihuan's "Love is a Bad Thing" and Kristy Yang and Du Haitao's "Kidnapping the Big Star", they were almost declared dead as soon as they were released.

Several domestic films that are about to be released have also begun their final frenzy of promotion.

But perhaps some people really disliked the dog's stench, Guo Jingming and "Tiny Times 2" were once again besieged by most of the film industry.

It feels like they wanted to completely kill Guo Xiaosi and "Tiny Times 2" before the movie was released.

But the short Guo Xiaosi was not at all weak and still behaved very tenaciously, leading his fans in fighting online, and it was very lively.

However, no one in the circle expected that at this time, the high-school mathematics group, as a competitor, would directly jump out and mock.

"Some people really don't care about their shame in order to make money. They dare to make any movie that is harmful to teenagers. Those brainless fans are the same. They have no judgment at all. These people please don't watch my movies."

Although the Weibo post of the high-level mathematics group did not mention anyone by name, who in the circle would not understand it?
But it’s okay for other people to scold Guo Xiaosi.

What you did in the advanced mathematics group makes people feel that it is a bit like hype.

The consequence of this Weibo post was that a large number of fans of "Tiny Times 2" surrounded the official Weibo account of "A Romantic Affair" and filled it with all kinds of abusive words.

Guo Xiaosi, on the other hand, was quite patient and was able to overcome hardness with gentleness.

"It's normal for films to compete with each other at the same time, but don't get too angry. Can you expect big box office sales just by scolding your competitors?"

Looking at the news on the Internet, Wei Jin had to admit that what Guo Xiaosi said was right.

In the competition among movies of the same period, no matter whether the movie is good or bad, it ultimately depends on the box office.

The more people criticize it beforehand, and no matter how many people support it, it will be even more embarrassing if the box office results come out and it loses.

By then, not only will the high-level mathematics group be embarrassed, but those who support him will also be embarrassed.

“That’s not very rational.”

After sighing, Wei Jin remembered something and called his assistant.

"Mengying, has the script been delivered?"

"Boss, it was arranged last Wednesday. You said you needed an unfamiliar face, so Xiao Chen from the screenwriting department was arranged to go."

"Ah That's good."

Wei Jin nodded. There were many people watching his project, so he could only let strangers pass, otherwise he would be annoyed to death.

"By the way, Mengying. Senior Brother's place is expected to start filming at the end of this month. You can notify him about the new assistant."

Hearing this, Huang Mengying felt dazed. Two years had passed so quickly.

"Okay, boss, I'll notify the administration later."

As luck would have it, just when Wei Jin was thinking about his script, a group of people in the review department of the Film Bureau were discussing it.

The script under discussion was the "Operation Mekong" which had just been submitted to us.

Because of problems with the review process, the Film Bureau receives dozens of scripts every day.

However, these old guys are inefficient, so don't even think about asking them to work overtime. It's good enough if they can finish the task within the stipulated working days. That's why it was only today that this script came into their sight.

Even this is already a great privilege considering the reputation of Shanhe Media and Wei Jin.

To be honest, after the incident with "The Hunt", the old guys in charge of reviewing the film were not too brave to offend Wei Jin.

In addition, with the support of Director Tong, generally speaking, as long as the script is labeled as "written by the Wei and Jin dynasties", there will not be many problems.

But this time, there was anticipation in the eyes of several old men.

Especially Lu Chuan’s 70-year-old father, he still clearly remembers the slap in the face.

"Let's discuss this script. What does it say?"

After the question was raised, someone immediately mocked:
"Operation Mekong", you can tell what the script is just by looking at the name. He is really brave. How long has this case happened? Should we consider the relationship with the surrounding areas?"

According to him, scripts of this kind don't need to be reviewed, just give it a thumbs down. "He's a big director, so we should still treat him with some leniency. We should first check if the script has any social impact. If it's really out of control, we'll just follow the rules."

"Preferential treatment, isn't his script preferential enough? Director Tong approved a script like Big Shot, how can he get more preferential treatment?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the huge office fell silent instantly. It seemed that this was the truth. The preferential treatment given was already too much. If nothing was reviewed, what was the point of having them?
After a long while, someone finally suggested:
"Then let's try it first. No matter what the case is, let's see how good the script is. Maybe he has thought it through very carefully."

"Okay, let's follow the procedure."

A group of people chattered for a long time before they started to open the script, but most people were not very optimistic about the script.

Because this happened not long ago and the case was just executed, it still has a great impact on public opinion, and even the mainstream media has not reported it much.

With this mentality, the old men in charge of reviewing began to "find fault" in Wei Jin's script.

The celebration banquet of "Dragon King of the Divine Capital" was held at the Royal Hotel.

When Wei Jin arrived at the scene, he saw that the huge banquet hall was almost packed with people.

Countless people from major production companies and first- and second-tier celebrities came to show their support.

Perhaps because he was about to retire, even though China Film had a 30% share, Han Sanping changed his previous habit of seeking attention and gave the stage completely to Wang Changtian.

Fiber Optic Wang seemed very high-spirited on the stage, sharing the film's profitability with great enthusiasm.

According to the gambling agreement with the theaters, "Dragon King of the Capital of Gods" enjoys a 44.5% box office share, and the producer earns 3.06 million yuan.

Compared with the production cost of 1.8 million, it is not that much profit.

After all, the production cycle is more than a year, and with the emergence of many high-grossing movies this year, everyone is basically used to it.

The key is the overseas box office situation, which made everyone at the scene a little jealous.

In addition to being released in both Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the film was also released simultaneously in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian regions, with a cumulative revenue of 3280 million US dollars.

Although this figure is much lower than previous works such as "Mojin: The Lost Tomb" and "Painted Skin", it is even lower than the copyright income of "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate".

But you have to know that nowadays costume films are not very popular in the overseas market.

Including Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the overseas data can also be described as appalling.

The fact that "Shendu Dragon King" could achieve such results was completely unexpected in the industry.

Taking into account the interstitial advertising and miscellaneous copyright income, the total revenue belonging to the producers of this drama is close to 5 million.

Even if China Film and Fiber Optic took a 5500% share at a premium of 25 million, the overall rate of return would be around 150%, which is definitely a huge profit.

Of course, the one that makes the most money is definitely Shanhe Media.

The net profit of the 7000 million investment was close to 2.5 million, a rate of return of more than 260%.

This can't be said to be making money, it's simply robbing money.

Therefore, Wei Jin was not stingy and made arrangements with Han Sanping and Wang Changtian early on.

The red envelope reward of 10 million directly pushed the atmosphere on the scene to a climax.

During the cocktail party, Xu Laoguai was undoubtedly the most handsome guy tonight.

Starting with "Detective Dee", three consecutive movies have all been big hits, and Xu Ke has proven his strength.

Especially since Xu Ke is so efficient, producing almost one movie a year, many production companies are eyeing him.

As outstanding as Xu Ke is the charming and graceful Ni Ni.

The big sales of a movie can be a huge blessing for the actors. Judging from the box office alone, with "The Flowers of War" and "The Mystical Swordsman", Ni Ni is not inferior to Yang Mi at all.

Even in terms of word of mouth, Ni Ni is much better.

Therefore, in just a few hours, she had received many invitations and overtures.

But her charming and enchanting phoenix eyes were looking around, searching for that figure.

Because she knew very well that everything she had now was given by that man.

Wei Jin, whom Ni Ni was thinking about, was now being chatted with by Old Han.

"Hey kid, where's the script? It's been almost a month."

"Boss Han, don't worry. The detailed budget will probably be out in the next two days. Let's have a chat about it together then."

Wei Jin was telling the truth. The filming of this drama involved many areas and many issues that needed to be considered.

Chen Xi and the project team have been working overtime, but there is no result yet.

"Okay then. I'll wait for your news."

After the celebration banquet, Wei Jin took Ni Ni back to Golden House No. 6.

Originally, Ni Ni planned to invite Wei Jin to her house. Although the house was not big, it was quite cozy.

Unfortunately, Wei Jin refused for safety reasons. It was not because he was afraid that the woman would cause trouble, but because Ni Ni was no longer an unknown person and he did not want to make it known to everyone.

As soon as they arrived, Ni Ni couldn't wait to come up and give him a kiss.

Liu Yan snatched away the last premiere, causing Ni Ni to not have the affection of this man for another two or three months.

For her, who was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old and had enjoyed the greatest happiness in the world, the days were really hard to bear.

In response to the beauty's initiative, Wei Jin also responded enthusiastically. After all, he was quite fond of this woman's appearance and figure.

Wei Jin had to admit that Ni Ni's kissing skills were the best among all the women he had known.

He uses all kinds of techniques with ease, which makes people feel itchy.

While Wei Jin was tasting the red lips and admiring the charm in the beauty's eyes, his hands were not idle either. He divided his troops into two groups and attacked cities and strongholds everywhere.

Just the communication through clothes made Ni Nifang's heart tremble and her face flush.

A pair of slender legs involuntarily came together, and the whole body seemed to have no strength left.

After a while, she couldn't hold back any longer and pushed Wei Jin onto the sofa, then squatted down herself.

After a burst of rustling, she saw her long-lost friend. The dizzying breath filled her nose, making her breathing heavy, and red clouds appeared on her heroic and delicate cheeks.

Then Ni Ni opened her lips slightly and kissed him gently.
