China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 507 Do you also want to improve?
I noticed that Hu Ge and Fan Xiaopang's expressions were the same as that of a famous graduate who thought Peking University was okay, and they were about to cry.

Li Yu quickly explained: "You don't have to look at me like that, I'm not as glorious as you think.

Assuming that the box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" can really reach 20 billion yuan, it is true that my company can get more than 2 million yuan in profits.

You have to think about it this way. The 2 million is not my net profit. I have to deduct the initial investment cost, right? I have to pay taxes, right? There are a lot of miscellaneous expenses. "

Hu Ge and Fan Xiaopang felt much better after hearing these words.

Until Li Yu added at the end: "After deducting all the expenses, for a movie like Detective Chinatown 20 with a box office of 2 billion, I can only make a few hundred million, which is just a small goal."

"..."

Hu Ge and Fan Xiaopang, who had just received a little psychological comfort, wanted to curse.

Is a few hundred million not enough? It is obviously a lot, isn't it?
"Detective Chinatown 2" is just one of the projects that Li Yu participated in.

One project can earn hundreds of millions, but how about all the projects in a year added together? Wouldn't that be an astronomical figure?
"Director Li, I beg you, don't explain it to us anymore, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Hugo pleaded with a bitter face.

He was so envious that he really didn't want to listen anymore. He was afraid that if he continued listening, he would not be able to control the urge to hit someone.

"I agree with what Lao Hu said. Stop talking. I have to work hard for a year to achieve your small goal."

Fat Fan said.

Last year, Fan Xiaopang retained the top spot on the Forbes list of female celebrities, with an income of nearly 1.2 million.

Hugo suffered another critical hit.

He originally thought that he and Fan Xiaopang were of the same kind, but he never expected that Fan Xiaopang, like Li Yu, was a person who had caused him great harm.

Listen, is that human language? Working hard to make a few hundred million a year.

He worked for a whole year and didn't even achieve half of his small goal.

Of course, this is related to the fact that Hu Ge has been less active in recent years and has been performing in dramas.

If he were like Fan Xiaopang and participated in multiple TV and film productions in a year, he would earn a lot of money.

Under the successive attacks from Li Yu and Fan Xiaopang, Hu Ge chose to evacuate first.

"The box office of Guoshi's "Investiture of the Gods" has finally slowed down after reaching 10 billion. Do you think our "Ready Player One" can achieve the same results as "Investiture of the Gods"?"

Fat Fan is very concerned about this.

"It's highly unlikely."

Li Yu didn't hesitate and gave a straightforward answer.

Fat Fan was a little disappointed.

“Don’t worry, although the box office of Ready Player One is unlikely to catch up with Guoshi’s The Investiture of the Gods.

However, the significance of these two films to the Chinese film industry is different.

"Ready Player One" is a science fiction film, and you should be clear about what the current science fiction films in China are like.

There are few good science fiction movies, let alone science fiction movies that can do well at the box office.

If "Ready Player One" can achieve 70% or 80% of "Fengshen", this movie will be enough to leave its name in the history of Chinese cinema.

When people count the time when domestic science fiction films began to rise, "The Night the Comet Came" and "Ready Player One" will be two works that cannot be avoided. "

What Li Yu wanted to express to Fan Xiaopang was that the performance of Ready Player One was probably not as good as that of Investiture of the Gods, but its quality was much higher than that of Investiture of the Gods.

Because one is a pioneer and the other is a follower.

In the field of mythological films, Li Yu's "The Great Wall" was the first mythological film to be a box office hit.

Li Yu is not the pioneer of this type. Some predecessors have made attempts in this field before, but it was Li Yu who truly developed it.

Because of this, no one would think that Guoshi's "Fengshen" is better than "The Great Wall", even if Guoshi makes a stronger sequel to "Fengshen" in the future. Because "The Great Wall" is a pioneer, without "The Great Wall" to prove that this type of film can sell well, Guoshi's "Fengshen" would not have been born.

Fan Xiaopang is a smart person, of course she can understand what Li Yu said.

Her expression immediately turned from gloomy to bright.

……

After a while, the national master's "Fengshen" came to an end, and ended with a final box office of 27 billion.

This result surpassed the 24 billion of "Monster Hunt" and successfully won the top spot in the domestic box office.

This time, Guoshi really made a good movie. Everyone felt that Guoshi deserved the first place in the box office and there was no controversy.

Fei Xiang became popular again with the role of King Zhou.

His King Zhou was recognized by countless people.

In addition to Fei Xiang, Nazha, the new generation of "Mou Girl" discovered by the national master from Beijing Film Academy, became famous all over the country for her role as Daji.

This time, the picky people finally praised the national master.

The national teacher's aesthetic taste is finally on point again. Let's put aside Nazar's acting skills, but her looks are really high.

The national master held a large-scale celebration banquet after the release of "Investiture of the Gods" and he invited Li Yu.

However, this time Li Yu declined the offer on the grounds that he was busy filming and couldn't leave.

The national master didn't say anything. The premiere is a time when a movie needs support, and Li Yu's attendance at the premiere was a sign of giving face.

It doesn’t matter whether you come to the celebration party or not.

Besides, he knew the situation on Li Yu's side.

Li Yu is very busy filming "Ready Player One" and he really has no time.

The success of "Fengshen" made both the national master and Li Yu very happy.

But Chen Kaige, who is in the northwest and has become the number one architect in the entertainment industry, is not happy.

Seeing that "Fengshen" was a huge success and won the honor of being the number one in the domestic box office, he felt really jealous.

It's a rebellion, it's a rebellion, the photographer who used to work in his crew has really rebelled.

Last time, the national master made a movie called "Man Jiang Hong", which stimulated him to make a literary film with the highest box office in the country, and he barely made a comeback.

Now, the national director has given him a film that ranks first in the domestic box office, with a total box office of 27 billion, which has given him an even greater stimulus.

If he doesn't come up with a big trick and make an equally amazing movie, how can he regain the title of the country's top director?

Chen Hong didn't say anything, but she was very happy in her heart.

She knew Chen Kaige's character too well. Once the situation was favorable, he would go crazy.

Even she couldn't persuade him, let alone others.

The ultimate outcome of taking off from the wave is falling from a height of thousands of feet.

The national master brought enormous pressure to Chen Kaige, but it allowed Chen Kaige to remain calm and steady. Chen Kaige, who did not drift or touch the script, was still very capable.

You can say that he is not as good as the national teacher.

But apart from the national master, if you want to find a director who can make blockbusters and manage a crew of 10,000 people, he is the first person who comes to your mind.

"No, to be on the safe side, I have to find time to discuss the script with Director Li again. It has to be perfect. How can I be outdone by Zhang Yingmou? I want to prove to everyone that I was better than him before, and I am still better than him now."

Chen Kaige wants to improve so much.

He wanted to prove that what he had lost could be taken back.
