Chapter 655: If you were asked to be the father of Wang Shu’s child, would you be willing?
This scene also appeared in Huayi.
"Director Wang, the box office of "The Night the Comet Came" on May 1st was 4,012w." Wang Zhongjun's secretary reported to him.
"4012W?" Wang Zhongjun looked up in shock.
"Yes, yesterday's box office was 4012W, and the total over the two days was 7548W." The secretary answered politely.
"The data is not wrong?" Wang Zhongjun was a little unconvinced.
The secretary shook his head and said: "Wang understands, this is the news that has been confirmed again and again. It is not wrong."
Wang Zhongjun slumped on his office chair after hearing this. After a while, he waved his hand and signaled his secretary to leave.
After the secretary left, he felt so uncomfortable that he took out his cell phone and dialed Feng Xiaogang's number.
"Xiao Gang, do you know the box office of "The Night the Comet Came" yesterday?" Wang Zhongjun asked.
"How much is the box office?" Feng Xiaogang didn't know, so he asked instead.
"4012W." Wang Zhongjun spit out a number.
When Feng Xiaogang heard this, he was in disbelief and forgot to answer the question for a moment.
Wang Zhongjun took a deep breath and then said: "Including the 3536W the day before yesterday, there are already 7548W."
"If I remember correctly, the investment in "The Night the Comet Came" was only 40 million."
"This time, Wang Shu will most likely make a fortune."
Feng Xiaogang was silent when he heard this. If "The Night the Comet Comes" really achieves a big box office with a small cost, Wang Shu will be in the limelight in one fell swoop.
"The data is not wrong?" Feng Xiaogang didn't want to believe it in his heart and asked subconsciously.
Wang Zhongjun sighed and said: "I checked again and again, there is nothing wrong."
Feng Xiaogang was silent after hearing this, and after a while he said: "I heard that "The Night When the Comet Came" only took three days to shoot, right?"
"Yes!" Wang Zhongjun gritted his teeth. Who knew that a low-quality film that only took three days to shoot could achieve such a high box office, which refreshed his knowledge.
At this moment, he complained a little bit about Wang Zhonglei. This guy only knew how to show off, but missed out on a potential player like Wang Shu.
If Wang Shu had been brought under Huayi's command back then, Huayi would be in full bloom today, and even more so!
"A movie shot in three days can actually achieve such a high box office..." Feng Xiaogang murmured to himself, "I plan to go to the cinema to watch it again to see what's so magical about it."
"Go." Wang Zhongjun sighed, "After watching it, let's get together and talk about the special effects blockbuster."
"We are not short of money now, what is short of projects is projects."
"Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. You made "Assembly" very successfully, and "Tangshan Earthquake" should also be successful."
"I believe you can make a good special effects blockbuster."
"It doesn't matter if the photo doesn't work well, we're not short of money anyway."
"Okay!" When Feng Xiaogang heard this, he knew that he could not shirk the project of special effects blockbuster after all. In addition, Wang Zhongjun had already mentioned this, so he immediately agreed.
"Lili, the box office of "The Night the Comet Came" has exceeded 75 million in one day plus half a day of release."
"Looking at this box office trend, it can be hundreds of millions in box office at least."
"As a heroine, your status should be on par with Shuang Bing."
Deng Chao said with a playful smile.
Sun Li rolled her eyes, but replied with a slight smile on her pretty face: "She's almost on par with Fan Binbin. Li Binbin starred in "Taipei Trip", and his star position has long been surpassed by Fan Binbin's. In addition, the other party also participated in the show. After starring in "The King of Kung Fu", I made it clear that I wanted to join Hollywood. How could I catch up with him by starring in "The Night the Comet Came"?"
Of course Deng Chao understands this. He said: "As long as we star in a few more films directed by Director Wang, won't we easily catch up or even surpass him?"
Sun Li sighed and said: "I want to star in a few more director Wang's movies. It will be a blessing to have the opportunity to star in one in the future."
"It's not like you haven't seen the premiere of "The Night the Comet Came". So many famous actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places came to support it. It was like a red carpet at a film festival."
"It's not like you don't know the reason why they came together to support you."
"There will be so many people competing in the future, and Director Wang will have so many choices."
"It's never that easy for us to take our turn."
After saying this, he paused, and in order to cover up the fact that Wang Shu chose her to star in "The Night the Comet Came" despite having so many choices, he continued, "For example, this time, Director Wang wanted to make a small-budget movie. The film, coupled with the gimmick created by the original crew of "Space Traveler", allowed Liu Yan and I to participate."
"If it wasn't like this, I wouldn't have gotten the role at all."
When Deng Chao heard this, he had no doubts. He believed from the bottom of his heart that Sun Li got the role because Wang Shu wanted to create a low-budget film using the gimmick of the original cast of "Space Traveler".
Because Sun Li starred in the film, and through Sun Li's recommendation, he was cast.
Deng Chao looked at Sun Li and said with a smile: "So we need to take the initiative to build a good relationship with Director Wang."
"Human connections need to be managed. If we have a closer relationship with Director Wang, we will have more advantages when Director Wang selects roles."
Sun Li felt quite weird when she heard this.
Her relationship with Wang Shu is already very close, if it needs to be even closer...
Is it possible to give birth to a child for the other party?
She subconsciously looked at Deng Chao and said to herself, if you were asked to be the father of Wang Shu's child, would you be willing?
If you are willing, then my relationship with Wang Shu will be closer.
Then he sighed, "You just think you're smart, right? You can think of this, don't others think of it?"
"Just like the red carpet of the premiere of "The Night the Comet Came", didn't they come to support it because they wanted to have a good relationship with Director Wang?"
At this point, he added with some amusement, "I think some people are not just here to support me, but even to throw themselves into my arms."
"So, if it is a purely business relationship, we have no advantage."
"It's better to be normal and take one step at a time."
Deng Chao found it difficult to accept this.
He has always wanted to squeeze into the film industry. He had already offended Feng Xiaogang because of "Assembly". If he didn't have an advantage over Wang Shu, no big director would ask him to act.
As for whether you can become a well-known film actor in China, there is a very clear point, and that is to participate in movies directed by famous directors.
Although there are actors who have participated in films directed by young directors and become famous, they are rare.
Looking at the mainland film industry, most of the famous actors became famous because of their participation in the films of major directors.
Deng Chao opened his mouth: "Having said that, we can't give up. If we should have a good relationship with Director Wang, we should have a good relationship with Director Wang. Maybe there will be miraculous results."
Sun Li smiled and did not answer.
Seeing Sun Li's pessimistic expression, Deng Chao immediately stopped continuing the topic and changed the subject: "But having said that, the box office performance of "The Night the Comet Came" was so gratifying."
"Director Wang has won a big box office with a small cost. When do you want to hold a celebration banquet?" Sun Li rolled her eyes in reply: "How can there be a celebration banquet?"
"When Director Wang comes back this time, the projects in Hollywood have been suspended. After finishing the things here, he has to rush back to Hollywood."
"Even if there is a celebration banquet, it will be hosted by Yishu Company, and Director Wang will probably not be there."
When Deng Chao heard this, he realized that it made sense.
He originally thought about asking Sun Li to toast Wang Shu with a few glasses of wine at the celebration banquet, but it seemed that this was not possible.
"Do you think Director Wang will return to China to film after finishing his project with Paramount?" Deng Chao asked, changing the topic.
"How do I know?" Sun Li complained speechlessly.
Deng Chao analyzed: "If the box office of "The Night the Comet Came" is satisfactory, I think Director Wang is likely to return to China to film."
"After all, it is a profitable project, so there is no reason not to do it."
Sun Li retorted: "Can't Director Wang make money while filming in Hollywood?"
"The global market and global box office still make US dollars."

"Making art films can not only compete for the three major awards in Europe, but also the Golden Globe and Oscar."
"..." Deng Chao was speechless for a moment after hearing this.
This statement made so much sense that he was instantly speechless.
Finally, I sighed in my heart and silently hoped that Wang Shu could return to China to film.
And set his sights on Sun Li.
Sun Li and Wang Shu have cooperated several times and have a closer relationship.
As long as Wang Shu sets his sights on Sun Li, then Sun Li is very likely to get the role.
When Sun Li got the role, she could recommend him to Wang Shu for the role.
Through this, he can also get roles.
…………
On May 3, the box office of "The Night the Comet Came" was released on May 2, 5021W.
This data once again shocked many people inside and outside the circle.
Wang Changtian sat in his office and muttered to himself: "The production cost of "The Night the Comet Came" was only 1,000,000. Adding in the 2,000,000 announced, it was only 3,000,000."
"Although an additional 1000W was added later for publicity and distribution, the total cost reached 4000W, but it was only 4000W."
"It has only been in theaters for three days, and the total box office has already exceeded 120 million."
"The cost has been recovered in three days, and there is still profit."
"This kid Wang Shu..."
"Alas..."
"This kid has forgotten his roots. He doesn't want to involve me in a profitable project, but is living alone!"
"Forgot your roots!"
"I think back then, Guangguang invested in your "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" without saying a word, and then let you subscribe for equity."
“Now, you’re eating alone!!!”
"Damn it!"
Not only Wang Changtian, but also Han Sanping, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Ren Zhonglun, Guo Shoucheng, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei and others were all dumbfounded.
For a small-budget movie with a total investment of only 40 million W and a shooting period of only three days, Wang Shu really managed to achieve incredible box office?
Do you want it to be so outrageous? !
………
"The Orphan of Zhao" was about to start filming. Director Chen and Chen Hong were making final preparations when they suddenly heard a staff member exclaiming and asked in confusion: "What are they making all the fuss about?"
Chen Hong looked over and signaled to call someone over for questioning.
After a while, several people came over, and Chen Hong asked aloud: "What were you talking about just now? Why were you so surprised?"
One of them replied slightly uneasily: "No...it's nothing. It's just that director Wang's "The Night the Comet Came" had a box office of 5,021 million yesterday. We were quite shocked."
"What did you say?" Director Chen frowned when he heard the number 5021W.
Seeing Director Chen speak, the man quickly added: "The box office of "The Night the Comet Came" yesterday was 5021,000."
After saying that, I felt that these alone were not enough to make a fuss, and then added, "The main reason is that this movie only invested 40 million W, and it was only shot for three days. Now it has only been released for two and a half days, and the box office has exceeded 120 million."< br>
“Not only the cost was recovered, but also profit was made.”
"Next, no matter how much the box office is, you will still make money."
After hearing this, Chen Hong subconsciously looked at Director Chen and found that Director Chen was stunned.
…………
At the same time, the promotion of "The Night the Comet Came" continues to increase, and various film reviews related to it have appeared on the Internet.
A Sina film critic commented: "After watching "The Night the Comet Came", I personally understand that the comet may have started, but most of the parallel worlds were created by those eight people themselves."
"Back to Schrödinger's cat. The division of the universe and the creation of parallel worlds are all caused by the act of 'opening the door to observe'. In other words, as many parallels as there are possible results of a 'measurement' world.”
"When discussing this movie, we certainly don't have to get too hung up on the precise definition of 'measurement.' We just have to remember that every time they make a choice about something, they create a different outcome corresponding to that choice. Parallel Universe.”
"The universe split at the beginning. In some universes, Jiang Wu's cell phone cracked, while in some worlds it didn't. The reason for this split is not clearly stated, but it may be a comet."
"One of the obvious human choices was Jiang Wu's choice of type of band-aid. Two choices created two parallel universes."
"The second obvious artificial choice is the color of the glow stick. In the world from the main perspective, they chose blue, so there must be parallel worlds where they chose red and green at the same time when they made their choice. Therefore, in In this blue glow stick universe, before they make a new choice, the glow stick they see in another universe must be a different color - such as red."
"If we stop here, the choice of two band-aids creates two parallel worlds, and each of these two parallel worlds has three choices of light sticks. So there are 2 times 3, or 6 parallel worlds."
< br>
"Then it gets crazy. The eight of them have to use dice to create artificial randomness to mark themselves."
"You know, if 8 people roll dice, each person has 6 possibilities, so there are a total of 6 to the 8th power of possible permutations and combinations. In this way, they are suddenly in each of the previous 6 parallel worlds. 6^8 parallel universes are created, and coupled with the selection of photos and the selection of random items, the number of parallel universes reaches an outrageous number of tens of millions.”
"So, if we look at it in detail, the total number of parallel universes in the film is not many at the beginning, but increases over and over again with their choices."
"From another perspective, it can be said that allowing the characters to make different choices is not only to mark various universes so that the audience will not be confused. In fact, every choice creates a new parallel universe and moves the plot forward. Important node.”
