Chapter 94 Breaking 100 Million
No solution.
Chen Hong sighed. She knew that the fact that Wang Shu's film was selected for the Berlin International Film Festival was just a lie. As the film festival approaches and opens, it will be exposed sooner or later.
In a few days, everything will be revealed.
However.
The time difference of just a few days is enough.
"Listening to what you said, it seems like this is really the case." Chen Kaige thought about it seriously and felt that this was the case.
He glanced at Chen Hong and couldn't help but suggest, "How about asking who is cooperating with Wang Shu? When we have the opportunity in the future, we can also ask him to cooperate?"
Chen Hong fell silent after hearing this.
Under Chen Kaige’s waiting gaze, after a while, Chen Hong sighed and said, “Let’s talk about it later.”
Chen Kaige nodded and had no objection.
Chen Hong glanced at Chen Kaige and suddenly asked: "Would you like to go to the cinema tonight to watch Wang Shu's "The Tuner"?"
The two of them only knew "The Tuner" "Based on the data in the first two days after its release, I have also heard that some people in the circle are already saying that "The Tuner" is very good to watch, and it is a work worth recommending to buy tickets and go to the cinema.
As for how beautiful it is, they don’t know.
Chen Hong also became interested and wanted to see what happened.
In particular, Wang Shu also told her that the role of Jiang Wenli was originally intended for her, but because of her schedule, she was not invited.
I heard he is a villain?
She was quite curious and wanted to go to the cinema to see what kind of character he was.
Hearing this, Chen Kaige raised his head and glanced at Chen Hong, made eye contact with him, and then hummed: "Give Wang Shu your movie tickets, even if you kill me, I won't go."
< br>"It's really...the mind is smaller than the tip of a needle." When Chen Hong heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and complained, "How much box office can we contribute with just our two movie tickets?"
Chen Kaige responded sullenly: "If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I'm not going anyway."
"Heh." Chen Hong sneered, "If you can't go, I won't go. I'll go by myself."
After saying that, turn around and leave.
Seeing Chen Hong's attitude, Chen Kaige became angry again.
That night, Chen Hong walked into the cinema alone wearing a mask and hat.
She bought a movie ticket for "The Tuner" and when the movie started, she entered the theater and took a seat.
As the movie progressed, she also met the character played by Jiang Wenli.
A venomous woman who was caught having an affair with an outsider and then worked together to kill her husband.
Chen Hong didn't think much about it at first, but was immersed in the tense atmosphere of the movie.
When she walked out of the theater after the movie and was blown by the cold winter wind in the capital, she was suddenly startled.
"Wang Shu said that the role of Jiang Wenli originally belonged to me..."
"What he meant was that my appearance and temperament were in line with the poisonous character in the movie who had an affair with an outsider and killed her husband. Wife?”
“Huh?”
The other side.
Wang Shu, who was hiding at home and feeling bored, continued to learn from Brother Xiao Ma’s advanced experience, and used his trumpet to post some replies boasting about "The Tuner" in major forums, post bars and other places. .
In a thread discussing "The Tuner" on the Tianya Forum, I replied like this: "I went to the cinema to watch "The Tuner". It was really good. After watching it, I am still thinking about the plot of the movie in my mind. . Really, highly recommended, you will definitely regret not watching it.”
Another way of replying to the post on the forum: “What kind of garbage is “The Promise” worthy of Director Wang? "The Tuner" is better than "The Promise". Anyone who has watched the movie "The Tuner" knows that "The Tuner" is ten thousand times better than "The Promise". What is "The Promise"? Have you seen "The Tuner"? It's different. It's full of twists and turns, even at the end of the movie. "
Some netizens saw Wang Shu's reply and were surprised. Reply under the reply: "Is "The Tuner" really so good-looking?"
Wang Shu replied: "Of course it's good-looking, don't miss it if it's good-looking, it's definitely a blast."
The netizen replied: "Hmm, I didn't believe that young directors under 20 years old could make good movies before. Now that you've said this and many people are also saying that "The Tuner" is good, I'm starting to want to buy a ticket and leave. Entering the cinema.”
Wang Shu replied: "Hurry up, "The Tuner" is really good. You can't buy it and suffer, and you can't be fooled. After watching it, it is definitely worth the price and you will never regret it."
A netizen replied : "Yeah, well, tonight I will take my family to the cinema to watch "The Tuner"."
On the third day of the release of "The Tuner", the single-day box office was 2103W.
Day 4, 1830W.
Day 5, 1564W.
Day 6, 1235W.
Day 7, 1150W.
Excluding the New Year's Day screenings on January 29, "The Tuner" grossed over 100 million in box office on its seventh day of release.
At the same time, under the leadership of China Film Group Corporation, a celebration banquet for "The Tuner" was held in Beijing.
At the celebration banquet, everyone came, including Han Sanping, Guangguang’s Wang Changtian, Producer Luo, and the main creative staff of the crew.
The box office of "The Tuner" exceeded 100 million in its first week. Regardless of whether it can win the three major European awards, this result alone has proven that it is a successful movie.
Because of the production cost of "The Tuner".
Only, 2000W.
"Director Wang, congratulations."
"Mr. Wang, congratulations."
"Director Han, congratulations."
At the celebration banquet, many people were saying flattering words.
Wang Shu felt for a moment that if he were a pig, he would have been blown up to the sky by now.
Ni Ping played the role in the movie of the female member of the three-man gay gang who was stopped by superstition. She also came to the celebration banquet today.
"Director Wang, "The Tuner" is indeed better than Chen Kaige's "The Promise"." When Ni Ping spoke, he inadvertently brought up personal grudges.
It's not a personal grudge against Wang Shu, but a personal grudge against Chen Kaige.
"I watched "The Promise". What did it film? It's a mess and it doesn't look good at all." Ni Ping looked disdainful, as if he didn't like Chen Kaige's "The Promise" at all.
After she finished saying this, she added angrily: "That movie had a box office of over 100 million. The audience was really blind."
". "After Wang Shu heard what Ni Ping said, he thought to himself that if he hadn't known about the affair between you, he would have truly believed that it was a fair statement.
Although, "The Promise" is indeed a work that Director Chen said no one will understand in ten years.
However, as long as the words come out of Ni Ping's mouth, they will never be fair.
It is undeniable that Ni Ping was a mistress.
However, during the years when Ni Ping slept with him for free, he had always been submissive to Director Chen.
Unexpectedly, Director Chen kicked him away when he got tired of sleeping.
How could Ni Ping not have any resentment in this situation?
Wang Shu had no choice but to follow Ni Ping's words and chat with her for a while.
He knew clearly in his heart that if he refuted Ni Ping unclearly about Director Chen's matter, it would only make Ni Ping become more and more energetic in order to prove that what she said was right.
The two were chatting, but Ni Ping continued to chat more and more enthusiastically. Just as Wang Shu was shouting for help in his heart, Qin Hailu and Jiang Wenli came over.
When Ni Ping saw the two approaching, he silently closed his mouth. "Director Wang, I haven't seen you for a while, but why do you feel so handsome again?" Qin Hailu said with a smile.
After hearing this, Wang Shu deliberately touched his face, and then replied pretending to be speechless, "We met a few days ago during the movie promotion, and we haven't seen each other for just over a week. How come we haven't seen each other for several days? "
"In just a week or so, I've become more handsome than before."
"Although, I can still continue to grow at my age."
" But, how could it be as outrageous as what you said?”
“It’s not serious at all”
"Haha." Jiang Wenli couldn't help but feel happy when she heard this.
Qin Hailu looked Wang Shu up and down indifferently, and then asked innocently: "Development? Where is Director Wang still developing?"
"Pfft. ”
Now, not only Jiang Wenli, but also Ni Ping couldn’t help but be happy.
Wang Shu was left speechless by Qin Hailu. In front of so many people, he had to maintain his image well and pretended not to understand. He answered innocently, "Of course the whole body."
To support this statement, he went on to say, "The male body generally stops developing between the ages of 20 and 24."
"I am not even 20 years old, so of course I am still growing."
There is another thing in his heart that he is too embarrassed to say directly, that is, the nails of male compatriots usually stop growing at the age of 18.
After the age of 18, if you are relatively short, except for changing your destiny through technology, then your whole life will be like this
Qin Hailu, Jiang Wenli, and Ni Ping looked at each other when they heard this. At one glance, Jiang Wenli glared at Qin Hailu complainingly, as if to say that Director Wang was still young and didn't understand many things, so don't lead him astray.
In response, Qin Hailu smiled and deliberately winked at Jiang Wenli.
While filming "The Tuner", as she got in touch with Wang Shu, she discovered that this young director Wang was very "innocent".
In other words, I can’t help but want to be funny from time to time.
This time, I couldn’t hold it back either.
The four chatted for a while, and soon Fu Dalong, Liu Hua, Jiang Wu, Zhang Hanyu and others also came over.
"Director Wang." Fu Dalong walked to Wang Shu and greeted Wang Shu politely.
The film "The Tuner" has a box office of over 100 million. As the leading actor in the film, he became an instant hit.
The person who created all of this is the young director in front of him who is under 20 years old.
That is to say.
Without Wang Shu’s support, he would not be where he is today.
Fu Dalong was grateful from the bottom of his heart, but didn't know how to express it.
Wang Shu smiled and responded to Fu Dalong.
Jiang Wenli and others saw this in their eyes and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. From the time they entered the industry to the present, it was because of Wang Shucai that they acted in a movie with a box office of over 100 million.
And, according to Wang Shu’s intention, he will also take the film to the three major European countries.
Berlin seems to be unable to catch up, so the most likely one is Cannes in May!
The one who felt the deepest feelings was Qin Hailu. She is a veteran award-winning film contestant and has appeared in many award-winning films... She has not seen any decent awards, and the box office of her films has also been poor.
Focusing on one thing is a waste of time.
It was this time that she starred in "The Tuner", which not only made her one of the leading actors in the movie with a box office of 100 million yuan, but also made her popularity soar.
This made her couldn't help but mutter, was the previous drama in vain?
"Director Wang."
"Director Wang."
After Jiang Wu and others saw Wang Shu chatting with Jiang Wenli and others, they immediately came over and greeted Wang Shu politely, and then greeted the others.
Wang Shu smiled in response.
Next.
Fu Dalong, Liu Hua and others spoke one after another, and another large number of rainbow farts came, making Wang Shu once again feel that if he were a pig, he would be blown up to the sky again.
Fortunately, Wang Shu is relatively calm and does not start to get carried away after hearing some flattering words.
The banquet begins.
Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, Wang Shu, and the main creative staff of the film sat at the same table.
Drinking for three rounds.
Han Sanping couldn't help but whisper to Wang Shu.
"After "The Legend of Zhen Huan", do you really plan to focus on making an award-winning film?" Han Sanping asked in a low voice.
"The Tuner" was so successful that he wanted to remake it even after it was successful.
This is what he told Wang Shu before, to make a movie with a more luxurious cast.
Before, he had already expressed his support for Wang Shu to focus on competing for awards films.
However, with the box office of "The Tuner" exceeding 100 million.
As a movie with a production cost of only 20 million has a box office of over 100 million.
With such excellent performance, he hears many flattering words every day when he goes to and from get off work.
Han Sanping was so happy with his success that he changed his mind and wanted to cooperate with Wang Shu to recreate the "myth".
Qin Hailu, Wang Changtian and others were sitting relatively close to Wang Shu, and they happened to be able to hear the conversation between Han Sanping and Wang Shu. They couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully.
Wang Shu smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said truthfully: "Director Han, the box office of "The Tuner" has exceeded 100 million."
"In terms of film box office, I already have a good work."
"In terms of film awards, I don't have it yet."
Alfred Bauer Silver Bear in Berlin The prize is just a consolation prize.
For a new director, or for a second-rate or third-rate director, the Alfred Ball Silver Bear Award is definitely a great award.
But, for a first-class or top-level director, it’s nothing.
Wang Shu has now squeezed into the billion-dollar director club.
In this era, for him now, the movie box office is no longer a pursuit, the top three in Europe is the goal.
Hearing this, Han Sanping sighed and did not force anything. He just patted Wang Shu on the shoulder and said, "Whenever there is a big move, just call me."
"As long as it's your project, China Film Group is ready to invest in it at any time."
Like Wang Changtian, he thought that Wang Shu had a film and television company with dozens of people, plus other expenses, he had a lot of money on hand. Most likely there won’t be too much money.
For slightly larger projects, in addition to attracting investment from outside, we also need to attract investment from outside.
Even if you have enough funds, you usually get several companies to invest together and share the risks.
It is precisely because of this inertial thinking that he said these words.
It expresses good intentions and nothing else.
Just.
Wang Shu, you can't judge with inertial thinking.
