Chapter 329 Life Is Such a Coincidence

Three days later, "If You Are the One" officially held its premiere in Hangzhou, Fu Luo naturally received the invitation, but he did not go in the end.

Because he really didn't understand why he wanted to make a premiere ceremony like a party, and even reminisced about Feng Xiaogang's life, making the small steel cannon hang up, it was really smelly Long and boring as hell.

Perhaps it was for the promotion of the movie. After all, Hangzhou TV Station joined in the whole process, but Fu Luo really didn't want to be bored for a few hours. Anyway, Guan Qingqing also received the invitation, and a representative of Sand Dune Entertainment was fine.

Finally, on this day, Fu Luo asked Wu Ershan to come out for a meeting. He wanted to find him to be the director of "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven". It's not bad. I graduated in [-]. After nearly ten years of precipitation, I must be able to take on this important task.

"Mr. Fu, you mean to invest [-] million US dollars?"

In a certain cafe, when Wu Ershan received the figure of [-] million US dollars from the mouth of the big star Fu Luo in front of him, he almost bit off his tongue because he was really scared.

You must know that after graduating from Nortel, he only made one independent film, and the others were all commercials, but now there is a daring person who dares to give him an investment of 7 million U.S. dollars to direct. He was so scared that he didn't dare to speak, God, this is nearly [-] million yuan, and it's only used to make a movie?
"Yes, an investment of [-] million U.S. dollars. After all, the entire "Havoc in Heaven" involves special effects shots. I don't want to just make a shoddy movie. How about Director Wu Ershan, are you willing to take on this burden? ?”

Fu Luo didn't want to have too many twists and turns, so he asked Wu Ershan for the final answer.

"Here, Mr. Fu, can I think about it first, to be honest, I need some time to digest this news, and I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm really a little scared!"

Wu Ershan hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts, and finally laughed at himself.

"Of course, as long as you can give me an answer within a week."

Glancing at Wu Ershan, who had a big inch face and a pair of feminine red-rimmed glasses, Fu Luo gave an affirmative answer. Naturally, he would not force others to give an answer right now. He could Not so overbearing.

"Then thank you, Mr. Fu. By the way, can I ask Mr. Fu another question?"

"Yes, you say?" Fu Luo did not refuse Wu Ershan's question, he was quite curious about what the other party wanted to ask him.

"Actually, it's not any other question. I just want to ask Mr. Fu why you dare to invest [-] million US dollars to make a movie. Based on our current situation in China, don't you worry about cost recovery?"

This question popped up "impatiently" after Wu Ershan heard "[-] million US dollars". At this moment, he didn't even dare to use the word "profit".

"I'm really not worried, because I have great confidence in our Chinese film market. In 10 years, it will definitely break through to a total box office of more than 11 billion, and the production cycle of the film "Havoc in Heaven" will definitely be indispensable. It is expected to be released in 150. I believe that our Chinese film market will have a total box office of at least [-] billion at that time. As long as the film is good enough, I believe overseas box office can also be expected. Of course, there must be risks. But well worth a try."

The words Fu Luo said were basically from his heart. Moreover, the [-] million dollars sounds a bit scary, but it will not be taken out immediately. In the three-year production cycle, step by step Just add more, and then find some foreign aid, there is not much pressure at all.

"Ha, it seems that Mr. Fu is full of confidence in our Chinese film market, and at the same time spares no effort to promote our Chinese film industry. It is really admirable!"

At this moment, Wu Ershan didn't know what he said. He just thought that Star Fu might be a little too optimistic. After all, the total box office in China this year is only more than 40 billion. Will it quadruple in three years?
If Fu Luo could hear Wu Ershan's heart, he would definitely say categorically, yes, of course, now I tell you that in the future, someone will sell more than 30 billion at the box office just by selling their names, and I will ask you if you are not convinced, and if you dare Can you believe it?

"Ha, Director Wu Ershan, I think you should go into politics." Hearing this guy suddenly say an official cliché, Fu Luo almost laughed out loud.

"Hey, I...!"

After Wu Ershan reacted, he touched the back of his head and felt a little embarrassed. What he said just now was really a bit bureaucratic.

…………

On the next day, "People on the Journey", which was released for four days, finally got the box office results of the first week. It got a total of 4352 million yuan, an absolute dark horse, and undoubtedly reached the top of the box office this week. The champion caused quite a stir in the entire circle for a while.

Moreover, the audience reputation of "People on the Journey" is not bad. Although it was scolded miserably by some "sensational" film critics, it still couldn't stop the popularity of the movie. After all, it's the Internet age, who the hell cares? What a shitty film critic.

Besides, in order to highlight themselves and for money, these people can even sell their souls, so there is really no credibility at all.

In addition, as he expected, other films in the cycle basically failed completely, and none of them reached the expected box office. For example, "Ip Man", which ranked No. Compared with the total box office expected by the producer to exceed 2 million this week, it is at least 1642 million short of the weekly box office. It can be seen that there has been a lot of impact.

Then No.3 is "The Big Search". This movie was released two days ahead of "People on the Journey". It only got a box office of 726 million in six days a week. In fact, this is already a good result. After all, Xiangjiang Films The cost has never been high, and coupled with Xiangjiang's box office, it may be able to successfully recover the cost.

Then No.4 is "Mei Lanfang", which was released until the fourth week. It got a box office of 630 million in a week, and the total box office also broke through the 1.02 million yuan mark, reaching [-] million yuan.

Not to mention, this hot pot of "Farewell My Concubine" has already achieved great success at the box office. As for the others, it can only be said that the director of Triumph has continued to eat his old books again, and has completely fallen into the abyss. Vegeta's father died too early, and there is no way to continue to help.

The final No.5 is "Women Are Not Bad", which was released until the third week. It only got 122 million box office, and the total box office was only 1813 million.

After seeing the outstanding "People on the Journey" on the report, the box office was even more than half higher than No.2. Fu Luo was finally determined. 1 billion threshold.

However, it is still quite difficult to fully achieve this goal, because "If You Are the One" will be released next week, and "Under the Red Cliff" will be released next week, the competition is really strong, and these two films They are all related to him, the former has an investment, and the latter is the starring role, which really makes people a little tangled.

If possible, he naturally hopes that all three films will achieve good results, but if one has to be discarded, Fu Luo may choose "Under the Red Cliff". After all, he did not invest in this film and only received a fixed salary. Good or bad doesn't affect him too much.

Of course, it seems useless to think too much at the moment, and in the end we still have to wait for the test of time.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon that day, Fu Luo suddenly received a call from Lu Zheng, and at two o'clock, the two met again, and finally talked for about an hour. He and Lu Zheng Only then they left.

The legendary Jing Tiantian did not appear, but Lu Zheng did mention the other party's name, and also faintly expressed his intention to let Jing Tiantian participate in his new movie.

However, when Fu Luo proposed to invest 40 million U.S. dollars in the filming of "Havoc in Heaven", don't mention how astonished Lu Zheng, a middle-aged man in his [-]s, was. Arguing that you have to think carefully before you can get the answer. After all, there doesn't seem to be any particularly important female characters in "Havoc in Heaven".

By the way, Fu Luo was also quite disappointed. It seems that Jing Tiantian, the big benefactor, seems to be quite reasonable.

Later in the meeting with Lu Zheng, Fu Luo went to Huang Lei's house again, because the other party had asked him out several times, saying that he was going to talk about "Longing for Life", and then another partner Ren He Jiong will also come over today, but he will arrive later.

After arriving at Huang Lei's house, while Chef Huang was cooking, Fu Luo, "instigated" by his goddaughter Huang Duoduo, came to the largest nearby supermarket to buy snacks for a certain snack shop.

Then life is such a coincidence, when Fu Luo and Gao Yuanyuan at both ends of the shelf grabbed the same bag of snacks at the same time, they froze together, which also...
