Huayu’s ex-husband.

Chapter 335 334. Because everyone knows that he is our uncle, we must avoid suspicion
"How much is the box office of "My Deskmate"?"

Liu Tianxian came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly cut watermelon in her hand.

Wei Wu took the fruit plate from Liu Tianxian, casually placed it on the coffee table in front of him and replied:

"As of yesterday, 15 days after its release, the cumulative box office has reached 2552 million."

Liu Tianxian couldn't help but smile: "Not bad! The final box office of this movie should be able to exceed 3000 million, right?"

Wei Wu picked up a small piece of watermelon with a toothpick and fed it to Liu Tianxian who was sitting next to him, saying:

"It shouldn't be a big problem, but I estimate it will be just over 3000 million at most."

Liu Tianxian held a napkin in her hand and elegantly caught the watermelon seeds she spat out.

"This is already great! I can already make a lot of money!

"Every movie that other people make loses money, but every one of ours makes money, so why do we need bicycles?"

Liu Tianxian's "Left Ear" can reap the benefits of "Those Years", and of course Chen Xiao can as well.

Although the traffic and attention Chen Xi received from "Those Years" is far less than Liu Tianxian, he is still the male lead after all!
Thanks to Chen Xi's starring role and Bad Monkey's 72 Transformations, "You Are the One" did not lack attention before its release.

Relying on the above two advantages, "You Are the One" achieved remarkable results after its release.

Although it cannot be compared with "Left Ear" and "So Young", it is at least as good as the "Bad Monkey's 72 Transformations" plan.

该片4月30号开画票房255万，五一三天假期依次拿下382万，501万和459万。

Combined with the preview box office of 96 yuan, by the end of the May Day holiday, the total box office of "You Are the One" had reached 1693 million yuan.

At this point, relying on the box office revenue, the film can barely recover its costs.

Just as Liu Tianxian said, the Chinese film market had not yet taken off completely at that time, and at least 50% to 60% of the films on the market were losing money.

As long as the film can recoup its costs, the film company can basically open the champagne.

Almost every movie produced by Weiguo Pictures makes money. This cannot be described as rare, it is simply a miracle.

It is conceivable that if Weiguo Pictures chooses to go public, how popular this stock will be in the market!

However, in the past two years, affected by the US subprime mortgage crisis, both domestic and foreign stock markets are sluggish.

Therefore, this year is not suitable for the company to go public, and Wei Wu has set the time for Weiguo Group to go public in the second half of next year.

It would be better to wait until the economy recovers a little and starts to rebound before going public.

Anyway, as long as it can go public before Huayi Brothers, the label of "China's No. 1 Film and Television Stock" is quite valuable.

Although the company cannot go public due to the subprime mortgage crisis, it does not prevent Wei Wu from making money.

For those who have been reborn and have opened their third eye, the economic crisis is not a difficulty at all, but a great opportunity to make money with their eyes closed.

Whether it’s shorting or going long, it’s an open-book exam and who can’t do it?

Anyway, Wei Wu had basically invested all the idle funds on hand. It was estimated that when the final settlement was made, even if the profit was not tens of billions, it would definitely be tens of billions of dollars.

Liu Tianxian's words brought Wei Wu back to reality:

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. Snow Leopard has been nominated for the Magnolia Awards for Best Director and Best Actor."

The 14th Magnolia Awards will be held in Shanghai on the 12th of next month, and the shortlist has been announced. Snow Leopard, which premiered last summer and starred Wei Wu and Liu Tianxian, was shortlisted for the Best TV Series, Best Director and Best Actor at this year's Magnolia Awards.

Wei Wu shrugged and said, "The hope is not great, I guess the best I can do is get a nomination.

"After all, the films nominated with us this time include Golden Wedding, Crossing the Guandong, Soldiers Assault and Gobi Mother. The competition is really fierce!"

There is no need to introduce how awesome "Crossing the Guandong" and "Soldiers Stand Out" are.

As for the remaining two dramas, "Gobi Mother" was the annual ratings champion of CCTV-07 in , and the heroine Liu Jia won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress for this drama.

"Golden Wedding" was the annual ratings champion in 07 and won all three major television awards:

Director Zheng Xiaolong won the Magnolia Award for Best Director and the Feitian Award for Outstanding Director for this drama; the male lead Zhang Guoli won the Magnolia Award for Best Actor and the Feitian Award for Best Actor; and the female lead Jiang Wenli won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress and the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress.

It is not difficult to find that "Golden Wedding" is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this year's Magnolia Awards, winning four major awards in one go: Best TV Series Silver Award, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.

You should know that there are only 6 awards in the Magnolia Awards TV series category:
Gold Award for Best TV Series, Silver Award for Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Actor and Best Actress.

Moreover, there is only one spot available for each award. With so few spots available, "Golden Wedding" took up 6 of the 4 spots, almost sweeping them all.

In fact, all the awards at this year's Magnolia Awards were won by these two dramas.

"Golden Wedding" won 4 awards in one go, and the remaining Best TV Series Gold Award and Best Screenwriter Award were won by "Soldier Assault".

In other words, "Crossing the Guandong" and "Gobi Mother" didn't even win any awards.

Even "Crossing the Guandong" failed to win any awards, and Kang Honglei and Zheng Xiaolong are both senior directors, so it is natural that Wei Wu's "Snow Leopard" will most likely only be a runner-up.

However, Wei Wu can look forward to the Golden Eagle Awards at the end of August. After all, "Snow Leopard" was first broadcast on Mango TV, so it will naturally be favored towards him at that time.

In fact, to be honest, "Crossing the Guandong" is not the worst one. At least it was shortlisted for a heavyweight award.

"Struggle", one of the top ten hit dramas in 07, was directed by the famous Zhao Baogang. However, this drama was only nominated for the Best Screenwriter Award (Shi Kang) at this year's Magnolia Awards.

You should know that this drama was first broadcast on Shanghai TV, and the full name of the Magnolia Award is "Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award"!

Liu Tianxian suddenly smiled mischievously and said, "Hey, isn't it said that the chairman of this year's Magnolia Awards Jury is our uncle Zhang Jizhong? Ask him to open a backdoor for you!"

Wei Wu spread his hands and said, "It is precisely because everyone knows that he is our uncle that we must avoid suspicion!"

"That's right," Liu Tianxian nodded and continued:
"You know what? We have quite a few acquaintances among the judges of the Magnolia Awards this time. Director Gao Xixi is also one of the top five judges."

Wei Wu casually said, "He should have been admitted because of 'New Shanghai Bund'. He was not given the Best Director award last year, so this year he was given a jury award to make up for it."

Liu Tianxian sighed and said, "At least you got two nominations, but I didn't even get one!"

Wei Wu said with a wicked smile: "That just proves that the Magnolia Award is still of some value..."

Liu Tianxian immediately rolled up his sleeves angrily:
"What do you mean?"

Wei Wu quickly admitted his mistake: "What I mean is, didn't you get nominated last year for 'New Shanghai Bund'?"

"Hmph," Liu Tianxian snorted coldly and took away the fruit plate and the plate in front of Wei Wu.

"No, I just took two bites!"
