China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 213 1.6 million

In fact, at this stage, the studios of some programs of many provincial TV stations in China are not located at the location of the respective TV stations, but in the capital.

Beijing is the place where the largest number of artists and stars gather in the country, and it has complete facilities and conditions in all aspects.

The cost for local TV stations to record programs here is far lower than bringing artists back to their base camp.

For example, for some talk shows, most of their studios are located in Beijing.

Nowadays, the programs of a few satellite TV stations with high ratings, such as Mango Channel, are recorded in their respective hometowns.

Another example is Blue Channel. In the early days of its development, many programs were recorded in Beijing.

Wang Shu, Sun Li, and Liu Yan were pressed for time because they needed to put on makeup and other preparations before recording the show, so they didn't have dinner and just ate some snacks to fill their stomachs.

This situation is very common among artists.

What's more, many artists will take the initiative to eat less before recording a show in order to avoid too many people getting anxious or spanking.

It was already late at night after I finished recording the program that was intended to promote "Time Traveler".

The three of them felt their hungry bellies and agreed to have supper together.

Sun Li glanced at Liu Yan, who was peeling shrimps for Wang Shu, and felt a little disgusted in her heart.

Suddenly, without Liu Yan noticing, he pinched Wang Shu's thigh secretly.

Wang Shu looked towards Sun Li in pain and saw Sun Li pretending to be eating without anything happening.

"Director Wang, how much is the box office of "Space Traveler"?"

Liu Yan didn't notice these actions at all, put the peeled shrimp into Wang Shu's bowl, and asked.

1500W on the first day, 2500W on the second day, 2800W on the third day, 2700W on the fourth day, 2500W on the fifth day, 1700W on the sixth day, and 7W on the seventh day. The National Day holiday is almost over.

"1.5 million." Wang Shu said with a smile.

"Is it 1.5 million?" Liu Yan was surprised.

As a newcomer, her first movie earned a box office of 1.5 million in the first week!
  While Liu Yan didn't know the box office data of "Space Traveler", Sun Li did. Although there was no surprise on her face this time, she was quite surprised in her heart.

I think she finally got the role opposite Li Lienjie in "Fearless". This movie only exceeded 100 million from the time it was released to its release.

"Space Traveler" was released more than half a year later and grossed 1.5 million at the box office in one week!

"Yes." Wang Shu responded.

When Liu Yan heard this, he stared at Wang Shu with flashing eyes, and said in surprise, "Wouldn't it be a matter of time before the price reaches 200 million?"

She now also knows that among the domestic film circles, only the films directed by Zhang Yimou have exceeded 2 million in box office in the Mainland.

Apart from that, there is no other person!

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Wang Shu nodded.

Sun Li sat aside and looked at him with beautiful eyes.

He is the second director in China whose single film box office has exceeded 200 million.

Not to mention Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei and others, even Director Feng, who is best at making commercial films in China, has never had this achievement!
  so amazing!

Liu Yan blinked and couldn't help but ask again: "Can it exceed 300 million?"

When Sun Li heard this, she looked at Wang Shu intently.

If "Space Traveler" exceeds 3 million, then Wang Shu will break Zhang Yimou's record and become the first domestic director to have a single film with a box office of more than million!
  "It should be more difficult!" Wang Shu responded.

According to the box office trend of "Space Traveler", it is obvious that the movie-watching craze achieved by Xuanfa's boast has been exhausted.

Even if "Space Traveler" can stay in theaters for three weeks, it will not be enough to increase the number of 1.5 million and make the total box office exceed 3 million.

In 2006, the number of movie screens in the country was still relatively small, making it difficult for people from more areas to enter movie theaters.

Some people also want to go to movie theaters to watch movies, but there are no movie theaters in the area where they live, and the reality is not enough for them to spend time going to places where there are movie theaters to watch movies.

I just have no choice but not to go.

In addition, piracy is rampant these days.

Due to various reasons, even if "Space Traveler" can stay in the cinema for three weeks, it can actually say something about the box office next week.

The last two weeks after half a month after the movie was released were basically the same as a corpse state.

"Is it more difficult?"

Even after hearing what Wang Shu said, Liu Yan was still very confident. She said with a smile: "I don't think it's difficult, there are 1.5 million in a week!"

"'Space Traveler' will be in theaters for three more weeks, and it will definitely break 3 million."

Wang Shu smiled after hearing this, but did not betray Liu Yan's innocence.

Sun Li was thinking secretly on the sidelines. She knew that the box office of "Time Traveler" yesterday was only 1300 million.

And her agent also analyzed this number with her, unless the box office of "Time Traveler" will explode again against the trend.

Otherwise, 200 million is stable, but 300 million is a bit difficult!

……

Since it was late and they had to start work tomorrow, the three of them did not chat for long. After eating something, they went home one after another.

"Director Wang, be careful on the road." Liu Yan shouted sweetly before Wang Shu left.

"Be careful on the road." When Sun Li saw Liu Yan shouting this, she quickly shouted back.

"You guys should also be careful." Wang Shu responded and left in the car.

Soon, Sun Li and Liu Yan also left by car. As soon as she got off the taxi and returned to the door of her residence, Sun Li's cell phone rang. It was Deng Chao calling.

"Hello." Sun Li answered the phone.

"How was the filming today?" Deng Chao knew that Sun Li had joined the group on her first day.

"It's okay. I just came back from outside. I have to take a shower and wash up quickly. I have to start work tomorrow." Sun Li said.

"Ah? Why did you come back so late? Is there a night show on the first day?" Deng Chao asked in surprise.

"No, we finished work early today." Sun Li responded, and then told the crew that they finished work early, went to record the show with Wang Shu and Liu Yan without eating dinner, and then had a late night snack together.

"Ah? Did you have supper with Liu Yan and Director Wang just now? Why didn't you ask me to go?" After hearing this, Deng Chao asked with some complaint.

He had told Sun Li about this before, but Sun Li didn't call him this time.

"Well," Sun Li quickly explained, "it was already very late after we finished recording the show, and we have to start work tomorrow, so we just had a simple late-night snack and then went back."

"Wouldn't it be very disrespectful if I called you over?"

When Deng Chao heard this explanation, he thought so.

It was too late, and Director Wang also needed to rest.

If he went to waste time now, it would be counterproductive.

Deng Chao immediately smiled and said: "You are right, I did not think it through."

"Alas!" Sun Li sighed and said, "I won't talk to you any more. I just arrived at the door of my house and I have work tomorrow."

"Well, you go to bed early." Deng Chao responded with concern, and then warned him, "Don't forget what I said before."

"I know." Sun Li responded impatiently.

Everything else was fine, but she really didn't want to do this with Deng Chao.

It's not that she doesn't want to help Deng Chao, but she really wants to help Deng Chao.

Just because there is Wang Shu on the other side.

This put her in trouble.

October 10th, Sunday.

The seven-day National Day holiday is over, and it’s time for migrant workers to go to work again.

The box office of "Space Traveler" was released on October 10, 7 million.

Although this number is more than half less than the peak of 2800 million, it is still a very high single-day box office data.

Comparing the same period, whether it is "The Night Banquet" or "Baby Project", no one can compare, and they are all left behind by "Space Traveler", let alone other domestic movies.

It is difficult for many movies to have a box office of 1000 million from the time they are released to the time they are released.

And "Time Traveler", one week after its release, the single-day box office can exceed 1000 million.

Including the previous 1.5 million, it has reached 1.62 million.

At this moment, everyone in the film and television industry who knows the box office data of "Space Traveler" knows that it is only a matter of time before "Space Traveler" breaks the 2 million mark.

The second domestic director whose single film has exceeded 2 million yuan, this title will soon be crowned by Wang Shu.

"A great director worth 2 million!"

Zhang Jingchu felt regretful when she heard the latest box office news of "Space Traveler".

That year, she and Gu Changwei attended the Berlin International Film Festival and met Wang Shu, who was also attending the Berlin Film Festival with his debut film.

At that time, although she was suspicious of new directors like Wang Shu, she did not take the initiative to talk to him.

Nowadays, a small-screen actor like Sun Li will soon become the heroine of a movie with a box office of 2 million because she was selected by Wang Shu to star in "Space Traveler".

And Liu Yan, a newcomer who has nothing to do with actors, also rose to prominence with "Space Traveler".

Zhang Jingchu knew that it was not because of Sun Li and Liu Yan's appearance that supported the box office of "Love Traveler", but because they were lucky enough to appear in "Love Traveler", their careers were taken to a higher level.

"If... I had gotten in touch with Wang Shu at that time and maintained a good relationship."

"Will the heroine of "Space Traveler" or "The Tuner" be me?"

When Zhang Jingchu thinks of "The Tuner", she will think of Jiang Wenli.

Back then, Jiang Wenli slapped her in front of everyone on the crew, which is still vivid in my mind.

Who would have known that Jiang Wenli would win the Best Actress crown at Cannes for her starring role in "The Tuner" directed by Wang Shu!
  She originally had a chance to star in this movie, but was taken advantage of by Jiang Wenli.

If Wang Shu invited Jiang Wenli to play the heroine of "The Tuner", she would not think so.

But she knew that Jiang Wenli got the role through an audition.

As long as it's not an invitation, it means she also has a chance!

Every time Zhang Jingchu thinks about this, she can't help but think in her heart how great it would be if time could be repeated?

Back then, although Wang Shu went to the Berlin Film Festival, he was relatively unknown.

At that time, no one knew that his "Buried Alive" would win the Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award.

No one knew that he would be able to film "The Tuner" and "Space Traveler" in the future.

At that time, she was also at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Originally, I could appear beside Wang Shu when he was unknown.
