Chapter 824 Mainland Movie Box Office Market
Yu Feihong looked very surprised when he saw this document.

Li Sheng asked in a low voice, "What the hell is this!"

While watching, Yu Feihong pointed to the chart above to explain to Li Sheng.

"This is the box office situation of our domestic Chinese-language movies."

"From 1995 to 2003, there are trends in the total box office data of the mainland film market in China."

After what Yu Feihong said, Li Sheng also understood the chart.

He read the chart carefully, and the data displayed on it was very detailed.

In 95, the total box office was 9.5 million, the mainland market accounted for less than [-]%, and the total box office was less than [-] million.

This was still the case in 96 and 97, especially in 97. The above data shows that the box office of imported movies accounted for 60.00% of the total box office data.

However, after the total box office reached 98 billion in 14, the total box office data in 99, 00, 01 and 02 dropped sharply to less than one billion.

But the only gratifying thing is that the mainland's share of the box office market has increased significantly.

After reading this, Li Sheng somewhat realized. Could it be that Nolan used this data to convince the people in Warner?It's not realistic, after all, the box office of Chinese movies is slowly picking up, but this has nothing to do with Li Sheng!
Li Sheng looked at Nolan suspiciously again, and he still looked at Li Sheng and Yu Feihong with the same smile on his face.

Li Sheng lowered his head again, Yu Feihong turned a page at this time, she bumped Li Sheng lightly.

Li Sheng hurriedly looked over, and this time he understood, because the data marked on it were all the names of his movies.

It also clearly marked the performance and market share of all Li Sheng's films in the film market that year.

There is no doubt that although Li Sheng's films are quite satisfactory in terms of technique, they are well-deserved in terms of box office.

Not only that, but there is also the first-week box office record of Li Sheng's latest Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

Although the reputation of Journey to the West Conquering the Demons is polarized, the box office figures are definitely the best among all Li Sheng's films, with 1.7 million in the first week, breaking all the box office figures of his own and mainland movies.

After seeing this, Li Sheng understood.

Nolan must use statistics to prove Li Sheng's box office appeal in the mainland movie market.

And in the face of a huge box office market that is constantly rising, everything is empty talk.

As far as the data is concerned, if Li Sheng participated in this drama, it would be enough to bring them benefits when the drama enters the mainland market.

Li Sheng raised his head in a dark and complicated manner, and nodded, "I understand."

Nolan also nodded with a smile, "Well, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Li Sheng also nodded, reached out and shook his hand, "Have a nice cooperation!"

Nolan smiled and nodded, "That's it, because you don't have an agency here, so regarding your treatment and remuneration, the people from Warner will contact the Actors Guild. After they have settled the deal, the Actors Guild will notify you You sign the contract."

Li Sheng nodded, "Okay!"

Nolan nodded, "The crew will probably start filming in March, and I hope your schedule will be free by then."

Li Sheng nodded, "Well, I know that."

After receiving Li Sheng's reply, Nolan took out a copy from the document under his arm.

"Although we haven't signed a contract yet, time is tight, so I'll give you the script first."

After Li Sheng looked at the script that Nolan handed over, he was stunned. This behavior is against the rules in Hollywood.

Usually, the script will be obtained after signing the contract. After all, the content of the script is relatively confidential.

Seeing that Li Sheng was stunned, Nolan raised the script in his hand again.

Li Sheng smiled and nodded again, "Thank you!"

After he finished speaking, he reached out and took the script.

Nolan also nodded, "Then let's see the crew then!"

"Goodbye!" Li Sheng and Yu Feihong also waved to him.

……

Nolan left, Li Sheng and Yu Feihong also left Warner, preparing to go home.

On the way back, Yu Feihong kept looking through the information that Nolan had given them.

When they reached the door of the house, Yu Feihong suddenly said.

"This Nolan must have always wanted to cast you in this role. Liam Neeson was just using it to gag Warner."

Hearing what Yu Feihong said, Li Sheng stopped and shook his head.

"You think too much!"

"I'm in Hollywood with Liam Neeson, there's no comparison!"

Yu Feihong naturally knew that in Hollywood, both Liam Neeson's identity and qualifications were much, much better than Li Sheng's!

She shook her head, "That's the truth, but you need to know."

"It is not easy for an American director to collect box office data of Chinese movies."

"And there is also a very detailed analysis of the mainland film market. You will definitely not put in a lot of hard work. Can you do this?"

There is indeed some truth in what Yu Feihong said, but it's good to know this kind of thing in your heart.

Li Sheng put one arm around Yu Feihong's shoulder, "Okay, let's not talk about this!"

"I have accepted this drama now, you are satisfied!"

"The filming will start in March. The time is very tight. If nothing else, the script you like will be postponed."

"Look, I started filming Batman in March, and I'm sure I'll be running around with the crew, and when I return to China, I'll be filming Assembly."

Yu Feihong pursed his lips and smiled, "For the cause, I can understand, when the time comes, my parents and I will go back first!"

"If you stay in the United States alone, don't be fooled by the feasting and feasting here!"

Li Sheng smiled and shook his head, ignoring Yu Feihong's words.

At this time, the door just opened, and Yu Feiyan was holding two garbage bags, and she was taken aback when she saw the two of them.

"Yo, you're back."

"Exactly, someone at home is looking for you!" Yu Feiyan said.

"Looking for me?" Yu Feihong asked.

Yu Feiyan shook her head, "It should be, it's a woman. I remember that he seemed to have been to China and our company before."

"Mira?" Li Sheng asked.

Yu Feiyan nodded, "It seems to be this one! Come in quickly!"

Li Sheng and Yu Feihong hurried into the house, while Yu Feiyan went to take out the trash.

Once inside, sure enough, it was Milla Jovovich.

She is sitting on the sofa in the living room, Yu's mother doesn't understand English, Yu's father is beyond everyone's expectations, hugging Li Shengnan, speaking fluent English and chatting with Mira very speculatively.

Li Sheng and Yu Feihong walked over, Mira stood up quickly after seeing it.

"Oh, Yu! You are finally back!"

Yu Feihong also smiled and went up to her and hugged her. Li Sheng smiled and nodded at her.

Mira looked at the two curiously and asked, "Did you go out to play?"

Li Sheng shook his head. Before he could speak, Yu Feihong spoke first.

"No, I accompanied him to Warner to audition!"

Mira suddenly asked in surprise, "The audition? Have you passed?"

Yu Feihong replied with a smile on his face, "Of course!"

Mira quickly replied with a smile, "Congratulations, this is really good news worth celebrating!"

Yu Feihong laughed, "Indeed, let's celebrate at noon today!"

Mira laughed, "I can't wait, I really miss the taste of those Chinese dishes when I was in China!"

Li Sheng and Yu Feihong also laughed. Seeing them coming back, Yu's father and Yu's mother moved away and went out for a walk with their children in their arms.
