You don't understand the happiness of the director

After the May Day holiday, Yang Mi was extremely happy with the terrifying box office results of "To Youth". The top four Chinese-language films at the box office, and her starring films accounted for two seats!

If "Twelve Zodiac Signs" is the result of Cheng Long's credit, then "To Youth" is entirely the result of her own efforts and personal charm.

Not only is she the number one heroine, but she also sang an original song and a classic old song, all of which were very out of the ordinary. She also followed the director to promote the song all over the world, so she put in a lot of effort.

It's a pity that her vacation is over, and she will return to Hengdian tomorrow to continue filming "Journey to the West". She will have to wait a month before she can finish filming and reap the dividends brought by "To Youth."

She started rolling on the bed, "I really don't want to go back to filming!"

"Why, it's the director who treats you badly, or the co-stars who don't deal with you."

"That's not true. I'm a producer. Who would dare?" Mimi continued to roll around, "But I'm so famous now. I haven't been exposed for a month since I went back to filming. I've lost such high popularity in vain."

Wang Quan held her hands down to stabilize her, "It doesn't matter. Sissi will help you make good use of the heat. She has time anyway."

"Ah, I feel even worse!"

In order to ease her discomfort, Wang Quan tried his best, and an hour later, she finally felt better.

Her head rested on Wang Quan's chest, "I think the box office of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons will definitely not be bad. I might become the female star with the highest box office in China by then, what do you think?"

"Well, I think there's something to be said for it. We don't care about actresses or anything like that. Real money at the box office is the last word."

"Brother understands me~"

Then the two became entangled again.

Tonight Wang Quan is here to see off Yang Mi who is returning to Hengdian. He will not be seen for more than a month.

Originally, Wang Quan wanted to ask Sissi to come with him, but she was still thin-skinned and let Wang Quan do it by himself. However, she squeezed Wang Quan dry before coming, but she still couldn't stop her boyfriend from sweating on her best friend. She didn't know that Wang Quan was here She has always retained her strength.

After that, Yang Mi disappeared from the public eye, Liu Yifei also returned to Northeast China, and the heavy responsibility of publicity was handed over to Yu Feihong and several female supporting actors and actors.

We still need to continue to promote it. The potential of this movie is far more than 500 million.

"To Our Mortal Youth" was featured on the movie channel when the box office exceeded 500 million, and the report lasted for half an hour.

CCTV 1’s morning news also reported it, which officially established his historical status as the pioneer of youth movies.

Yu Feihong talked eloquently on the show. She was intellectual, elegant and beautiful. Although she did not appear in the movie, she showed signs of becoming popular. The audience was surprised to find that more than ten years later, she still looks the same. When she was a child, she thought she looked too good. Lao, now I just want to say aunt is good, aunt is wonderful.

In this movie, Yu Feihong fights to become a god!

Although the movie only has a score of 7 on Douban, which is not as good as "Love Is Afterlife", it has a score of 9.3 on Maoyan, and viewers who bought tickets said it was good.

And Wang Quan firmly believes that as subsequent youth-themed movies continue to harass the audience's attention, the audience will increasingly value the preciousness of "To Youth".

The emergence of "To Youth" made domestic film companies seem to see a huge treasure.

According to information revealed on the Internet, the budget of "To Youth" was 40 million. Even if the promotion and distribution efforts were later increased, it would not exceed 50 million. However, it took only 11 days to achieve the miracle of a box office exceeding 500 million. This The speed is even slightly inferior to "Let the Bullets Fly".

The cost of 40 to 50 million yuan is still the result of Yu Feihong's continuous improvement. The actors and theme song singers are all top names.

In fact, you can make a youth movie with just a few young and youthful actors. The cost is estimated to be less than 10 million. We don’t expect the box office to be as high as "To Youth", but 100 million is not too much. Well, many viewers are actually not fans of Xianmi, they just want to recall their youth.

Capitalists act quickly in pursuit of profits, but when they contact the author or the copyright holder’s website, they are surprised to find:

What, "The Year in a Hurry" has already been sold?

What, "Why is the Shengxiao Silent" gone?

What, "A Slight Smile Is Allure" is no longer available!

Finally, I asked who made the move so quickly. The answer is: Kingly!

Since Wang Dao wants to open up the youth film field, he naturally wants to hold the most influential books in his hands, whether he develops them himself or gives them to Power World, Pangbing Studio, or Qiankun Culture.

And Wang Dao didn't do everything right. He didn't buy the other Xinyiwu movies. You should buy them as soon as possible.

Anyway, after the popularity of "To Youth", the price of domestic female-channeled novels has been rising steadily, which has made male channel authors envious. Although "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was filmed by Wang Quan, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a ghost blowing the lamp, and other online novels It is other online novels, so this matter cannot be generalized.

Most film and television companies began to hoard novel copyrights, and Jinjiang, with Wang Quan holding 30% of the shares, became the biggest profiteer.

But other companies are taking a different approach and starting to hoard movie theaters.

Not long after Yang Mi returned to Hengdian, Zhou Xingchi's Bigo Group raised 50 million Hong Kong dollars to buy seven cinemas in Chengdu and Shancheng, upgrade them, and prepare to establish or acquire a cross-provincial cinema chain. Moreover, this is only the first Wave, there are more to come.

Through the box office success of "To Youth", he fully understood the hope of the Mainland film market to take off. By then, it would be possible to make money by making and showing movies, and these fixed assets would also add points to the value of the stock market.

The original time and space also invested in mainland movie theaters, but the intensity and breadth of investment were far inferior. "To Youth" and Wang Quan's original words played an important role.

Yang Mi had a good life after returning to the crew. She was very happy to see the growing box office every day. Especially when she saw the appearance of Huang Bo who had just joined the crew, she never stopped smiling.

She is a professional actress, and she is very serious about suppressing her laughter, but she really can't help it. She laughed several times while filming with him, especially the dancing part. Director Zhou didn't care, she just laughed when she laughed. .

Yang Mi's good mood came to an abrupt end when she was invited by top domestic director Chen Kaige.

"What?" She almost suspected that she heard wrongly, "Who is the female number?"

Yang Tian's needle trembled and he said, "Three, number three~"

"Is it a play with three female protagonists?" Yang Mi asked again. After all, this was director Kai Ge, so she had to give him some face.

Yang Tianzhen said, "Well, not really. If there is a male protagonist, the scenes are mainly between the male and female protagonists. Teacher Chen Hong wants you to play the male protagonist's sister, which is also a very crucial role."

"Who is the second female lead?"

"The second female lead is the male protagonist's girlfriend."

Yang Mi was a little confused, "What about the female lead?"

"I'm not sure. If you're interested, I'll ask them to send you the script."

Damn it on purpose, the third female lead is not even considered a third character. Looking at the character, she is just a supporting character.

But she still asked, "Who will be the first and second female lead?"

If Gong Li and Zhang Manyu were cast as the female lead and the second female lead, she wouldn't be able to consider it. What if another "Farewell My Concubine" were made? Didn't you see that even a small role like Jiang Wenli's would be followed by the title of this movie? Have you made a photo history?

Then Yang Tianzhen told her, "I asked around and found out that Director Kai Ge prefers Gao Yuanyuan to play the heroine, and Huayi also secured the second female lead for their company's Yao Chen."

"What!"

Yang Mi was completely angry at this moment. The kid Kaige was bullying someone too much!

Gao Yuanyuan won’t say anything else. She is really good-looking, and even if she belongs to Yang Mi, she would avoid being sharp for a while, but she, Yao Chen, is a der, not to mention ugly, and she also likes to act like a monster when wearing a scarf. I heard She also wants to be known as the queen of Weibo. She has more than 7 million fans by being a public official. Even she wants to ride on her head and dream!

Yang Mi directly told Tianzhen to reject it, and said that in the future, Chen Kaige's scenes should not be directed at her, who is she?

It would be fine if I didn't become famous. With my current status in the film industry, it would be an insult to my character to have myself play the third female lead for who knows how many times!

If this movie is accepted, the image of box office queen that I have worked so hard to create will be over.

Yang Mi made a rough calculation herself, only counting roles within three series, such as "Crazy Supermarket", "Zodiac", and "Youth". Her personal box office is almost 1.2 billion, which is the least among domestic actresses. They are among the top three, and this number is still growing, not to mention that there are so many big dramas that will be staged in the future.

The couple surnamed Chen probably also took a fancy to their box office performance, so they wanted to get themselves involved, but they were reluctant to give them important roles.

Humph, grandma!

Wang Quan didn't know that this happened to Mimi. At this time, he was on a plane flying to Cannes. This time there were only two official passengers on the plane, Wang Quan and Fan Bingbing.

Wang Quan was there to promote "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and Fan Bingbing was invited by the brand to walk the red carpet.

Last year, the royal power in Cannes was not involved, and it was a pity that she missed Pang Bing's fame battle. She wore a dragon robe and directly showed her ambition on her face, making a big splash in the domestic and foreign media.

Wang Quan feels that it will be difficult for her to surpass last year’s look this year.

When he said this, Fan Bingbing simply put on the white crane shirt he had prepared in front of Wang Quan and asked her to comment.

Wang Quan must say that he prefers this year's set, which is more feminine, but last year's set is more exciting.

Fan Bingbing was afraid that Wang Quan would damage his robe, so he quickly took it off and sat in Wang Quan's arms, "You like dragon robes, then next time you go to my house, how about I put it on and show it to you?"

Wang Quan patted her and said, "Okay, I will definitely try it if I have the chance."

Fan Bingbing would collect this classic shirt by himself. It is also his masterpiece.

There are no Chinese-language films in the main competition section of Cannes this year. Wang Quan’s participation in the screening section with "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is the largest Chinese presence. On the day of the premiere, festival chairman Gil Jacobs also attended.

He still hopes that Wang Quan will one day enter the field of art films. If the fantastic ideas of "Inception" are used in an art film, it will not be difficult to win awards.

Wang Quan feels that talking about art can only be done after eating well. The domestic film market now needs more commercial films that can sell money. It is better to wait until he is free to talk about literary and artistic films. Moreover, it is best to express his feelings, there is no need. In order to compose new words, I forcefully express my sorrow.

Unsurprisingly, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" won a lot of applause. Even if foreigners didn't understand many aspects, just watching the visual feast was enough. Overseas film producers praised King Power's new work beyond "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and extended olive branches.

King Quan handed over overseas distribution matters in most markets to Long Toutou. Suter Green happened to come to Cannes to select films for the company, so King Quan paid him those overseas film producers.

When leaving Cannes, Wang Quan issued an order to Suter Green to win the film "The Artist" in the main competition.

"The Artist" is a French film, and it is a black and white silent film, which is a very bold retro act in today's film market.

But the movie really doesn't look boring at all, and with the sound coming at the end, it's well worth the investment.

In fact, this year Long Toutou's branch in France also made a lot of moves, and even invested in a French film called "The Intouchables". Wang Quan has high expectations for this film.

Shortly after returning to China, at the closing ceremony of Cannes, Jean Dujardin, the leading actor of "The Artist", won the best actor crown, and Long Toutou also won the title of "The Artist" and formulated a plan for this film to compete for the Olympics.

Domestically, the biggest news on the entertainment page is that Tencent has invested in Huayi, acquiring 4.6% of Huayi Brothers for 450 million. The market value of this company has been fluctuating around 10 billion.

Tencent joined Huayi, and Wang Quan joined Tencent.

The February 2 Fund took advantage of Tencent's market value of only more than 300 billion to acquire a lot of Tencent shares from many overseas financial institutions, but it was still only in single digits.

Wang Quan thinks it will rise at least 20 times before selling.

After Wang Quan returned to China, he began to adjust the finished film "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" based on test screenings and reviews. He heard less outside noises. When he saw Sister Fei Hong who came back from overseas a week later, the box office of "To Youth" had already Reached 600 million!

However, "To Youth" cannot be the only one, because many Hollywood blockbusters have been released successively, including "World War Z 2", which was released in North America a week later after ten minutes were deleted. .

The deletions will definitely have an impact on the box office, but not as much as "Fast and Furious 5" in the same period. Without Gadot, the impact will be greater.

Then on May 20, "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" will be released.

On May 28, "Kung Fu Panda 2" will be released!

"Fast 5" had a box office of 56 million in its first week, and "World War Z 2" had a box office of 82 million in its first week.

The box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" in its first week was 138 million!

However, these movies are not as powerful as "Kung Fu Panda 2", which received 60 million on the first day of release.

But within two days, Domestic Entertainment fell into the surprise created by "Youth".

In Jiang Wen's words, anything that steps on a horse is called a surprise!

On May 30, "Youth" surpassed "Let the Bullets Fly" at the box office!

A new Chinese-language film box office record in mainland film history was born!
