Chapter 203: Character collapse? Deep in crisis of stealing box office! Everyone supports us!
"We are still waiting for news on the first day's box office. But I heard that a lot of people went to the cinema last night. I don't know how it was going to be?"
Feng Xiaogang was also a little nervous.
“You also made guest appearances in other people’s movies! And Ge You! Oh, if I had known earlier, I really wouldn’t have agreed to what you did!”
Investment in the Night Banquet, 2000 Thousands of dollars!
The reason why I mentioned US dollars is because I was afraid that it would fail at the box office and it would not sound good.
The current exchange rate is 1:9.7!
Converted, that’s 160 million!
The investment that makes bullets fly is even more exaggerated.
300 million!
However, the scenes in the two movies are also very different.
Jiang Wen is also bold. At first glance, they are all famous actors and actresses, and they were shot on film.
The picture is stronger and more styled in the Republic of China period.
This is something that digital movies cannot show.
Jiang Wen even set a price for himself, the same as Ge You, which was only 1 million!
Moreover, the total salary of the stars invested in the entire movie is less than 20 million!
They are all powerful factions, and Zhou Yun is considered a newcomer.
This is also the reason why Su Yi did not assign roles to Liu Shishi and the others.
Jiang Wen is not used to it.
When filming Parasite, the scene on the toilet was filmed more than a dozen times.
Later, he said it in front of Su Yi.
No, please substitute!
Liu Yifei is so pitiful that even those actors from Bangzi Country can’t stand it anymore.
But Jiang Wen was unmoved.
Su Yi also feels that if Liu Yifei wants to take this path, she must break through herself.
Later, he really succeeded in breaking through, but instead of continuing to take roles, he has been practicing his acting skills in school.
“I didn’t expect that China Film Group didn’t approve it. Who can’t live with the money?”
Feng Xiaogang was also a little suffocated.
I was quite unlucky back then.
Gone a guest appearance in Kung Fu, and the result was Stephen Chow's success.
Now the bullets are allowed to make a cameo, but they have become their opponents.
Quite silly.
"It's okay, even with Su Yi's popularity and the big names. The box office shouldn't be low!"
Feng Xiaogang gritted his teeth.
It’s really a bad year.
This night banquet is also to fulfill the dream of a literary director, and it can be regarded as a transformational work.
The ones chosen are all big-name celebrities.
The plot is even adapted from Hamlet.
“The box office on the first day is out!”
Huayi Brothers is not the only one who wants to know about the box office on the first day.
Many directors are watching eagerly.
For example, Chen Kaige is going to confront Su Yi head-on.
Huayi Brothers knew that this time they were on the road of confrontation with Su Yi. They had no choice but to cooperate with them. They would still make a movie. After all, they were a film company.
The same goes for the popularity this time.
After the film originally received investment from China Film Group, Wang Zhongjun decided to increase investment.
But unexpectedly, Su Yi made it bigger than them.
Shanghai Film, Bayi Film Studio!
Yes, there is also the Ministry of Education.
Faced with such a thing, Wang Zhongjun could only regret in his heart.
But it’s useless to regret.
The market cannot belong to Su Yi alone.
No matter how productive he is, he can't possibly capture the entire market, right?
“Banquet box office: 13 million!”
Wang Zhongjun thought he heard wrong.
I almost fell to the ground.
13 million!
Can it still have a box office of 13 million under the pressure of Su Yi?
Could it be said that Su Yi's 'golden body' was broken?
"Isn't it wrong? The only movies that can hit such a high box office at the end of September are The Banquet and Let the Bullets Fly."
Feng Xiaogang was also very excited.
In fact, it was almost as expected, but under Su Yi's high pressure, he could still perform like this, which proves a point.
Su Yi’s movies don’t have a high box office!
"It seems that the audience is still discerning! Hahaha! In any case, our box office must be stable!"
The box office on the first day must be very high. .
But to reach 13 million is already very good.
"That's right, because only the box office for the night banquet is out!"
Feng Xiaogang frowned slightly.
Although we are not in an era where the Internet is very developed, the box office statistics on the first day are still very fast.
“I don’t know what the situation is, China Film has not given out the data yet.”
The staff at Huayi who inquired about the news shook their heads.
"Forget it, forget it. As long as our movie gets good results! Mr. Wang, do you want to open a bottle of red wine?"
Feng Xiaogang said happily.
"What kind of crap is that! Open a Maotai!"
Wang Zhongjun laughed and seemed very happy.
·····
China Film Group.
"Kaige, we have been old friends for many years. Let's not talk about the past. Do you have confidence in this movie?"
Han Sanping's ambition is the movie Rise of the Dragon Kingdom .
So he is very polite to potential stocks and established old directors.
And there will also be financial support.
Although they did not invest in Su Yi's movie this time, Han Sanping and Wang Zhongjun have the same view.
So this time in the arena, we have to fight!
"I did make the mistake of overestimating the domestic market before. Twenty years after the movie The Promise, there will definitely be people who appreciate it."
Chen Kaige is all over his body, but his mouth is the best. hard.
But if Su Yi didn't come out of nowhere, it would actually be nothing.
At best it was a box office failure, and was then laughed at by Hu Ge with steamed buns.
He later continued to direct films, and they were quite popular - although this was somewhat controversial.
"Okay, as long as you don't lose your fighting spirit."
Han Sanping knows that there are not many famous directors in China.
Zhang Yimou didn’t answer, Xu Ke and others were busy with their own movies.
Even Wu Yusen is also preparing for next year's movie "Red Cliff", and I heard that he is in talks with Zhou Runfa.
A director like Stephen Chow is not suitable for a movie with this kind of war melody.
Coupled with the guarantee from Huayi Brothers, Han Sanping had no choice but to use Chen Kaige again.
Since you have used it, you have to live up to your reputation.
Han Sanping has already begun to mobilize Chen Kaige.
But what I didn't expect was that Chen Kaige was extremely confident.
It was just like when I went to the Olympic team to recite poems and was so moved that I was completely moved.
"Haha, Director Han. I know you like this young man Su Yi now. In fact, I liked him quite a lot at the beginning. But the path of a young man should not be too smooth. It needs a little setback. He is in the documentary I admire the achievements in animation and animation, but I still have some experience in movies.”
I am too proud to say this.
Han Sanping was all covered in goosebumps by this sudden pretense.
Of course, it's the right thing to do.
This person has too many shortcomings, and he has some talent, but he is not as good as Su Yi in all aspects.
Han Sanping secretly denied it in his heart.
The first echelon in the future will still be Zhang Yi, Xu Ke, Li Jian, and Su Yi.
“Okay, it’s good to be confident. The total investment this time is 400 million, and there is also the cooperation of some departments. I have already said hello in advance. The producer will use China Film Corporation this time.”< br>
Chen Kaige's face looked a little unnatural.
Because last time Wuji was the producer of Chen Hongdang.
"Thank you, Director Han, for your trust. Please wait and see this time."
Chen Kaige knows that there are many opportunities, but there are not many such big productions.
And with an investment of 400 million yuan, the box office must not be lower than this amount, or even exceed 0.5 times.
Huayi Brothers ultimately invested 250 million, and China Film invested 150 million.
This was discussed before.
"I also want to ask, what happened to the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly"? There has been no news?"
Chen Kaige suddenly thought of this question.
"The statistics may be a little wrong. The staff of China Film Group suspects that someone stole the box office and is investigating."
Stealing the box office?
Chen Kaige is in high spirits.
Haha, if Su Yi did such a thing, he was found out.
All the previous efforts were in vain!
Despite having the golden palm as a talisman.
But you must know that Su Yi is a member of the system.
What if such an ugly thing really happened to Su Yi?
"What's wrong, Director Chen? Are you so happy?"
Han Sanping looked at the sudden smile on Chen Kaige's mouth, why was he a little nervous?
"By the way, there is one more thing. Don't interfere with the new Dream of Red Mansions and concentrate on the filming of "Volunteer: Heroes Attack"."
Chen Kaige nodded, smiling a little uncontrollably.
Han Sanping actually saw this as a warning, because he knew how complicated things would be if the new Dream of Red Mansions crew could reshoot.
He can't afford to offend the leaders involved.
Stop talking about him, even Director Wang must give him face!
“I know that director Li Shaohong is still very good, and China Film has also participated in the investment. This time we have a TV series and a movie, which will definitely make China Film’s name shine!”
Chen Kaige left confidently.
Han Sanping rubbed his temples.
He is not optimistic about the new Dream of Red Mansions.
But there was irresistible force, and there was nothing he could do. He didn’t have much money anyway.
It is cleaner and more efficient to cooperate with Su Yi.
But in this position, I also have a lot of helplessness.
"How are the box office statistics? It took so long to investigate such a small matter? Did the night banquet steal the box office? Do you still need me to report this to the General Administration?" Han Sanping yelled angrily.
I was unhappy at first, but now I am even more annoyed when encountering such disgusting things.
····
CCTV.
Children's channel.
"Director Su Yi, our company is really overloaded. There is no way to start new projects. To be honest, we want to develop a high-definition version of Natu, or even a 3D version. , because our technology has made a breakthrough! Don't tell me, according to your previous suggestion, we hired some foreign technical personnel with high salaries, and now we are making rapid progress."
The mysterious Mr. Shen was chatting with Su Yi. cooperate.
When the company was just established, we met Su Yi, a ‘noble man’.
Now the company has even moved to the capital.
At first I was afraid that there would be no projects, but now I feel that I am overloaded.
After all, the company has developed very quickly, but there are only three groups.
Develop high-definition versions of Natu and Natu respectively.
There is also the bright moon in the Qin Dynasty.
Because of the rapid growth of Xuanji Company, many businessmen saw business opportunities.
Many excellent companies were established in advance and are seeking cooperation.
In addition to Mystery, there are also many people from animation companies present.
"There are a lot of IPs, and Calabash can develop them for you!"
Director Zhuang on the side actually didn't understand at all.
Now that the children's channel has developed like this, he is still confused.
The available funds, in addition to those handed over, are tens of millions!
This is after developing N programs, the money was quickly recovered and even started to make a profit.
I am really old!
“We can develop Calabash Baby, or even a movie. We are very interested in the development of myths and legends, but we just don’t have a suitable script.”
The speaker is an established TV series, movie, and TV show company.
Some of the programs we have collaborated with Su Yi on before, such as the story of the growth of a cute pet, the TV series version of Shining Girl, etc.
Light Media!
After Su Yi heard this, his eyes lit up.
Yes, why have we forgotten this leading company in future animated films?
"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World", "Jiang Ziya", "Big Fish and Begonia" and so on.
This is a strong company. But now the animation branch hasn't even been established yet.
"Okay! We have cooperated many times. And the two children's channel programs are also ready to start immediately. I believe the ratings will be very high. The three animated movie scripts I have here are all very good. . But the investment is very high. I don’t know if you are interested.”
Su Yi has come up with three scripts and has already found someone to design the illustrations.
The mysterious Mr. Shen looked at it with envy.
But sighed.
Their company has just started and has no strength!
"These are all scripts for animated movies? Let me see."
"Nezha Demon Boy Comes into the World" and "Big Fish and Begonia".
The last "Kung Fu Panda"!
"Kung Fu Panda!"
Someone's breathing was already heavy.
This name is worth 500 million at the box office!
Especially overseas markets!
For many foreigners, even if they have never been to Dragon Kingdom.
But I still know a few famous ones.
What attracted Hollywood directors to Cheng Long and Jet Li was Dragon Kingdom Kung Fu!
There is another animal unique to the Dragon Kingdom.
Panda!
Connect Kung Fu and Pandas together!
"Everyone, let's start with the ugly words. We have applied for the copyright of these two scripts. Creativity can be imitated, but cannot be stolen. I believe that you are the hope of the future animated film industry, and you should hope for healthy development."
After Director Zhuang said this, he felt a little helpless.
Co-author's only role is to be a popular person.
But he was willing. Although he didn't understand many things, he felt inexplicably relieved.
"No problem! Let's get out of Nezha first, accumulate experience, and then go global and shoot "Kung Fu Panda"!"
Light Media has something!
Su Yi looked at the other party unexpectedly.
"We can invest upfront and don't ask for returns. But I hope that Director Su Yi, even in name, must come to guide."
I really trust myself.
Su Yi hesitated and nodded.
"It can be developed at the same time, and CCTV can invest. In two or three years, I can introduce some foreign animation companies."
This time going to the Oscars, Su Yi met many Hollywood directors and companies.
"Thank you! Let's sign the contract now -"
The script is a good script, but it is also very expensive. Ordinary companies are envious, but they remain silent.
Because the investment is large and the return on investment is slow, it is easy to lose tens of millions.
But letting Su Yi be the director has a guarantee, which is worth at least several hundred million!
"Director Su Yi, someone from the General Administration has come to ask questions."
A staff member hurriedly knocked on the door and then whispered.
"General Administration? What are they here for?"
Director Zhuang stood up.
"It seems to be about the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly". It's been uploaded on the Internet."
Su Yiqing frowned. The General Administration came to see him without saying hello in advance. I don't know if there is any real reason. Hammer evidence?
Everyone in the animation company was shocked.
The box office for the first day of the night banquet has been released.
13 million!
A day later, the box office results of "Let the Bullets Fly" have not yet been released.
I don’t know what happened, and Su Yi hasn’t paid attention to it.
Jiang Wen and others were running around anxiously.
Netizens are anxious.
“Why hasn’t the box office come out yet? The plot of Let the Bullets Fly is very exciting! Many of the mappings are very detailed! Is everyone just paying lip service to supporting it? I’ll air my tickets first! It’s been the second time!”
"Yes! So do we!"
"Who knew, the movie is very good. It is suitable for Chinese people to watch. Even if you don't understand the reflection inside, it is still a good comedy drama."
"Interpretation of Huang Shilang's identity in "Let the Bullets Fly"!"
There are many discussions on the Internet, and countless people post their movie tickets.
But the box office on the first day just didn’t come out!
It’s already an accident!
It spread on the Internet and began to be reported in newspapers.
There was a voice coming from a gossip newspaper.
"Su Yi has exhausted his talents? "Let the Bullets Fly" is suspected of stealing box office, China Film Group intervenes in the investigation!"
This stone caused thousands of waves.
No news from China Film Group has leaked out, and screenshots of the newspaper began to be posted on the Internet. Although there were no doubts for the time being, many people began to murmur.
Many people even wonder, what is box office stealing?
“You originally bought "The Night Banquet", but the ticket was for the "Let the Bullets Fly" movie, and then the staff scratched it for you with a pen! You went to watch the "The Night Banquet", but the box office Just let the bullets fly!”
A professional film critic explained this.
Many people asked if they knew the inside story.
This film critic is ‘unbiased’.
"Su Yi is a person within the system... He is also the review director of the National Film Bureau, and he has a lot of power. I heard that the previous affairs of the new Dream of Red Mansions crew were related to him. I don't know about the others. It’s just a personal guess and does not represent anyone else.”
Opinions on this matter on the Internet have begun to vary.
Some major entertainment newspapers kept silent. They did not want to use this kind of thing to gain attention because they were afraid of taking risks.
But those small entertainment newspapers began to make up stories.
"I support Su Yi! He has filmed so many documentaries, TV series, movies, and variety shows, and even the money earned from Parasite is still doing charity! Do you question such a person for stealing box office? What a joke, Parasite was released for more than ten days I feel so bad for Su Yi now that I was cheated!”
Many people followed suit, and some opposed it.
"Perhaps they are all characters! Are they using their power to force other people's works onto themselves?"
Conspiracy theories have been born, and more people are interested in this matter Things are interesting.
The character collapses?
Institutional propaganda?
Originally, Li Shaohong hired navy soldiers before, but he was quickly clarified by the General Administration and the case was solved.
Even people from the navy company were arrested.
But this time, the General Administration did not issue a statement in time.
However, with such a big public opinion, the General Administration sent people to investigate this time.
Even beyond the China Film Group.
Come directly to the main station!
"Everyone, I'm sorry that I have to deal with something unexpected today."
Everyone looked at Enlight Media.
If Su Yi's character collapses and there is no box office guarantee, all that will be left is burning money! It may not be successful yet!
It's not in the nature of a businessman to take such risks.
However, the person in charge of Enlight Media did not hesitate at all.
"Director Su, let's sign the contract first."
Director Zhuang and others were shocked.
Signing the contract first at this time is a big risk.
"Our Xuanji Company came first, sign with us."
Mr. Shen stood up suddenly, even with a childish impulse.
He doesn’t believe that a director who can shoot an animation like “That Year of the Rabbit” is a profit-seeking villain!
“We also want to sign a contract!”
The others looked at each other and stood up one after another.
Su Yi was wronged?
Starting from the production of Natu, we went to the American Film Academy to discuss copyright cooperation.
To these animated movie scripts now!
The Kung Fu Panda script just now was sold to Disney, or to Pixar Studio before it was acquired.
It’s worth at least tens of millions!
A script is worth tens of millions, they are sure! There have been firsts!
Because once it is released, it may start to collect box office results worldwide!
Use the culture of Dragon Kingdom to harvest the box office!
Such a person, do you think he steals box office?
Thank you all for your monthly tickets. Last night there was a boss who bought 20 monthly tickets at a time. How did he do it? grateful! grateful! The box office is to promote the plot below
