Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 412

After Jiang Hui talked with Tang Wenwen and Fang Dawen about the future development of Xiaonei.com and Meituan.com, he continued to come to Guanghui Film and Television to see the final situation of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

"How is it, how is the attendance rate today?" Jiang Hui asked.

"Since it was released on August 8, after two weeks of screenings, as of yesterday, the global box office has exceeded 8 million. But after all, it is a youth-themed movie. Half a month after its release, the daily box office has been declining. There are already quite a few gun versions, and some theaters have already started to adjust the filming rate of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years," He Ling said.

According to this trend, Jiang Hui feels that the final box office is estimated to be around [-] million, and it will be difficult to break through [-] million.But even so, this performance is much better than the previous life.

"The cost of this film is only over 4000 million. It is already very good to be able to achieve the current results. It is estimated that other companies will be envious," Jiang Hui said.

"Yes, I heard that many film and television companies are planning to follow suit and shoot similar films," He Ling said.

The Chinese film industry has always had the bad habit of following suit, and they will rush to shoot whatever type of movie is popular.Whether it’s ghost films, gangster films, martial arts films from Hong Kong, or the youth films brought up by Guanghui Film and Television, as long as one becomes popular, there will be follow-ups. The subject matter was shot to death.

"Let them follow. There is a saying that has been imitated, never surpassed. Brilliant Film and Television will be another monument in China's film and television industry," Jiang Hui said.

"I estimate that the current film will not be released until early September at most. Should we plan a new film to prepare for the New Year's Day or Spring Festival?" He Ling said.

"It's necessary, but I'm thinking about what kind of theme to shoot, whether to continue the theme of youth or change it," Jiang Hui said.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that," He Ling said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Hui said.

"No matter what subject you shoot, you already have a draft, it's just a matter of choosing which one to shoot first," He Ling said.

As He Ling said, in fact, Jiang Hui has already thought of several movies that are suitable for Guanghui Film and Television, such as "Partner of the Heavenly Dynasty", "To Youth", "You at the Same Table", "Charlotte's Trouble" Wait, these are movies similar to "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years". Presumably, even if the box office does not reach [-] million, there is still hope for [-] million or [-] million.In this year, a box office of more than [-] million is already very powerful, and it has properly entered the top five box office.

However, Jiang Hui wanted to slow down shooting youth-themed movies, and felt that it would be better to choose a funny one during the Spring Festival.After much deliberation, it seems that "People on the Journey" is the most suitable.

"You're smart, I thought about it, it would be better to have a light-hearted and funny movie during the Spring Festival," Jiang Hui said.

"Indeed, it's better not to shoot such sad and violent subjects during the Spring Festival, or you will probably be scolded at that time," He Ling said.

"I'm not afraid of being scolded, but we can't make things difficult for the box office, right? That's it, it's easy and funny," Jiang Hui said.

"Then let's talk about your idea first. Anyway, I am also the general manager of Guanghui Film and Television, so I should know the plot of the film earlier," He Ling said.

"The Spring Festival is approaching, and the owner of the toy group, Li Chenggong, returned to Changsha to celebrate the New Year. At the same time, under the pressure of his lover Man Ni, he planned to divorce his wife after the Chinese New Year. As a result, he met Niu Geng, a senior milkman who went to Changsha to collect debts at the airport, and his bad luck continued. As a trick of fate, Niu Geng and Li Chenggong met unexpectedly all the way. The two of them encountered many embarrassing things along the way, and also encountered all kinds of people and strange things... ", Jiang Hui wrote "Man on an Embarrassing Journey" He Ling told He Ling about the plot.

"Honey, you are so good, I laughed so hard, I think this movie will definitely be popular," He Ling said at the end, holding back a laugh.

"It is necessary. Every year before the Spring Festival, topics such as migrant workers asking for wages and Spring Festival travel are widely concerned. Our movies revolve around these themes, and interspersed with various funny parts. The box office will not be bad," Jiang Hui said.

"However, this film is estimated to be popular only in the mainland, and it may not be able to attract the audience's sympathy in other places," He Ling said.

"Indeed, so I just plan to release it in Tianchao. However, the two leading actors of this film need to be found separately. Our company currently does not have people who are suitable for these two roles," Jiang Hui said.

Xu Zhen played Li Chenggong, and Wang Baobao played Niu Geng. These two roles had already formed a deep-rooted impression in Jiang Hui's mind. Jiang Hui was really not used to it being performed by other people.On the contrary, other roles can be flexibly adjusted.

Xu Zhen, who was born in 1972, is 33 years old this year. Although he has starred in TV dramas such as "Bright Spring Pig Bajie" and "Li Wei as an Official", he is still not well-known in the film industry. Guanghui Film and Television will invite him to play the main role of " "People on Journey", it is estimated that there is still hope.And the asking price should not be very high. After all, even if you have some fame in TV dramas, your income is not as good as that of actors with the same fame in movies.

As for Wang Baobao, who is only 21 years old now, he started practicing martial arts at the age of 6, and became a lay disciple at the Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain at the age of 8. In 2003, won the Best New Actor Award at the 40th Golden Horse Awards for his feature film "Blind Well". In 2004, he gained attention for his participation in the feature film "A World Without Thieves" directed by Director Feng.The current reputation is not even as good as Xu Zheng's. There is no special situation. It is no problem for Guanghui Film and Television to directly sign him to the company.

These two roles in "On the Journey" are tailor-made for them. Xu Zhen and Wang Baobao almost just need to act in their true colors.

"If our company doesn't have one, we'll go outside or other companies to poach people. Although the Tianchao film market has started to boom, it's not particularly prosperous. There are opportunities to play leading roles. Except for famous stars, few other people will. Refused," He Ling said.

What He Ling said made sense, but Jiang Hui, a reborn person, often used the thinking of future generations to consider current problems, and sometimes he was divorced from reality.

"When you say that, I think of two people. One is Xu Zhen who acted in the TV series "Li Wei as an Official", and the other is Wang Baobao who performed well in "A World Without Thieves" last year. I think they are the most suitable I have starred in "On the Journey", Jiang Hui said.

"I have a little impression of the two of them, and they seem to be quite compatible. Later, I will ask the HR department to communicate with them and see if I can sign them directly," He Ling said.

Brilliant Films already has experience in filming. After Jiang Hui and He Ling have agreed on the general direction, He Ling will organize Brilliant Films to advance the filming work.
