Chapter 214 "The Sun" sets too fast
Li Chen has no time to worry about "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
Since he has already decided to support Cao Guowei.
I won’t do nothing for so long.
As early as Cao Guowei's poison pill plan to defeat Shanda.
Li Chen began to acquire Sina shares in the secondary market.
While Shanda was throwing it out, Li Chen was slowly eating in as Rongchen Films and as himself.
None of this can be hidden from Cao Guowei, the head of Sina.
But Cao Guowei didn't point it out either.
First, the shares held by Li Chen were divided between Rongchen Pictures and himself, which did not reach the level of raising a placard.
Second, Li Chen had hinted to him long ago that his investment in Sina was paving the way for Cao Guowei in advance.
If one day Cao Guowei has thought about it, all he needs to do is say something.
He will definitely give his full support to Cao Guowei to truly take over Sina.
The popularity of "Thieves" prompted various theater chains to actively apply to extend the first-run screening period.
Three weeks after its release, the domestic box office strongly exceeded the 300 million mark, reaching 335 million.
It's only over 20 million short of that broken ship.
In the North American market, the number of screening theaters has increased to 2,590, and the box office has exceeded 300 million US dollars.
The global box office is 490 million US dollars, just shy of 500 million US dollars.
This result, regardless of the publisher Warner Bros.
All domestic investors were unexpected.
Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun were greatly excited.
Contact Li Chen and Richard from Warner Bros. The celebration party must be extra special.
Both Hollywood and China should do it!
Let the actors take a trip to both sides.
These big investors will not go to Hollywood.
Richard volunteered to run both ways.
"This is more than 300 million?" Wang Zhonglei was still a little unbelievable.
Hollywood blockbusters by Chinese movie stars such as Cheng Long and Li Lianjie who have outstanding box office appeal have difficulty breaking over 100 million yuan in China.
A Sino-US co-production suddenly broke 300 million.
It also made most theaters strongly request to extend the first-run screening period.
This phenomenon seems to have only been seen in the previous "Heroes".
Feng Xiaogang frowned and lowered his head: "It's not surprising, the investment costs are there, for handsome guys and beauties."
"The two women are blonde beauties in Hollywood, and there are those The Italian globe flower."
"Naturally, it is more attractive to young people than the two old men, Chenglong and Li Lianjie."
"The story is okay."< br>
Feng Xiaogang spoke insincerely, his mouth full of bitterness.
He is still ambitiously working hard to break into the 200 million club.
Over there, Li Chen is firmly on the throne of the 300 million director.
Wang Zhonglei also heard Feng Xiaogang’s loneliness.
"Xiaogang, I have confidence in "Assembly"!"
"We gave up the Oscars just for the sake of box office."
"Now "Assembly", as the opening film in Busan, will definitely attract a lot of attention!"
"What's more, in terms of schedule, apart from "Cast" "No one can compete with us."
Wang Zhonglei looked confident, but Feng Xiaogang had no confidence at all.
How will Huayi compete with Li Chen in the future?
After hearing what Wang Zhonglei said, Feng Xiaogang nodded.
Foolishly flattering: "I really hope that Li Chen can come to the Lunar New Year festival this year to stir up trouble."
"Assembly Number" has the strength to win the Lunar New Year festival championship!"
Wang Zhonglei laughed loudly, stood up, walked to Feng Xiaogang, and patted him on the shoulder.
“That’s right! This is the Feng Xiaogang I know!”
Feng Xiaogang twitched his lips unnaturally.
Yang Mi's "Wang Zhaojun" and Jiang Wen's "The Sun" were released on the same day.
Yang Mi was also very worried. She was afraid of being complained about now.
"Senior, are you watching "Wang Zhaojun"?"
Li Chen picked up his phone and took a look. His QQ profile picture jumped. It was a message from Yang Mi.
Li Chen felt quite funny in his heart: "Look at it, it's a good performance!"
Yang Mi replied instantly: "What, senior! I haven't appeared yet!" Li Chen shrugged and did not reply again. Yang Mi had a series of questions.
Jiang Wen on the other side was hit hard.
Judging from the pre-sale box office data, the box office of "The Sun" is a bit miserable.
"Thieves" has been in theaters for three weeks, but "The Sun" still can't match the attendance rate.
Jiang Wen knows very well that the theater chain will not do anything special just because of your name, Jiang Wen.
The box office is not strong, so the film schedule will still have to be cut.
Zhou Yun held Jiang Wen's hand and felt her husband's hand was cold.
"I'm fine. I didn't expect that Li Chen's crow's mouth was right!" Jiang Wen said with a fake smile.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Boss Yang, and you and my brother won't be able to pay back the money for a while!"
Zhou Yun said angrily: "What are you talking about! When did I tell you to pay it back. "
"We are husband and wife, and what is mine is yours."
"It is your brother's money, and it is also our husband and wife's joint debt!"
Jiang Wen felt very much. Feeling heartbroken, he held Zhou Yun in his backhand: "Don't worry, it's a movie. Who can guarantee that you will only make a profit and not lose any money."
"No, I forgot about that beast Li Chen. He is not a human being. We will not compare with him!"
Zhou Yun smiled and patted Jiang Wen: "How do you talk? Director Li can give it to you I left a message, if I need investment for my next movie, I can contact him.”
Jiang Wen suddenly realized: “I understand what he meant now.”
“It took me a long time. , he was not optimistic about "The Sun" from the beginning to the end!"
Zhou Yun laughed: "What do you think?"
While the two were talking, Yu Dong called.
"Director Jiang, the attendance rate is too low, which is far from our expectations."
"I mean to add a few more road shows and programs in the past few days."
"You'd better participate to increase the popularity and increase the topic." Yu Dong didn't talk nonsense and went directly to the topic.
Yu Dong was also anxious. He had prepared so many films and digital copies that they were completely useless.
Jiang Wen glanced at Zhou Yun and smiled bitterly.
Zhou Yun continued: "You can arrange it, Mr. Yu. Lao Jiang and I will definitely cooperate fully."
Jiang Wen is indeed very cooperative with the publicity.
Although he once claimed that he didn't care about the box office.
In the past two days, he has frequently appeared on magazine covers and been interviewed by reporters, but his secrets have been exposed.
Yu Dong even revealed to the media the twists and turns of the drama "The Sun".
Jiang Wen was forced to become an investor, how could he not care about the box office.
As for the incomprehensible comments raised by netizens.
Jiang Wen still firmly believes that it is not his own problem.
In front of the media, he replied to netizens: “If you don’t understand, read it twice and you will understand.”
Netizens are not vegetarian either.
"Who would go to the cinema to watch "The Sun Also Rises" twice after a full meal? It's not "The Thief"!"
"Just wait for Jiang Wen to finish his passion!"
“Chong Jiang Wen is so tough, I choose to go there on Tuesday at half price.”
“The sun rises as usual, and you still have to poop after eating!”
Jiang Wen's cooperation still did not make any improvement at the box office.
The first three days of the weekend were less than 6 million.
Many theater chains have begun to adjust their film scheduling rates.
If there is no improvement on the first day of National Day the next day.
It is estimated that "The Sun" will never rise again.
"Brother, have you ever opened your mouth?"
On the phone, Jiang Wen still couldn't hear any disappointment in his voice, and he was still smiling.
Li Chen didn’t save face for him either.
“If I had really been enlightened, I wouldn’t have overestimated 50 million!”
Jiang Wen was stunned for two seconds and suddenly burst out laughing: “That’s right, you’re riding a horse. .”
"According to this situation, even 20 million is difficult!"
Li Chenxin said, you finally have something in mind.
The box office of "The Sun" in the previous life did not exceed 20 million.
Not to mention that "The Thief" is still here.
