Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 155 Still Needs People to Drink
Crazy Stone's single-day box office went against the trend, surprising many people.

In the following days, the box office of several movies during the Spring Festival was relatively stable. The daily box office performance of "Crazy Stone" remained stable at 700 million, while "The Banquet" was around 800 million.

But on the sixth day of the Spring Festival, "Crazy Stone" actually rose again by 700% to 20 million on the basis of the stable daily box office of around 811 million.

Box office analysts said that this is the group of people who have just finished their relatives' visit and the New Year's Eve, and they are going to the cinema to buy tickets. And this group of audiences refer to the previous word of mouth.

By this time, the reputation of Crazy Stone had been thoroughly established, and the Internet trolls who did not take a holiday during the Chinese New Year added fuel to the fire. Now, anyone who cares about movies knows that a good-looking and funny movie was released this year.

Especially in Sichuan and Chongqing, Crazy Stone has crushed The Banquet. Chen Nuo is from Sichuan, and Crazy Stone has so many local accents.

The single-day box office of "The Banquet" fell to 805 million.

The forecast made by Huayi Marketing Department is indeed very professional.

"Crazy Stone", which had an investment of 400 million, surpassed "Night Banquet", which had an investment of 1.3 million.

However, no matter how accurate their predictions were, they were destined not to receive any prize.

And that day, Wang Zongjun's study was like a tornado.

The seven days of the Spring Festival are over, and the box office rankings of several movies during the Spring Festival are as follows.

"The Banquet": 6210 million.

"Crazy Stone" 4820 million.

The combined box office of the other two Hollywood blockbusters is over 8000 million.

In general, the 2007 Spring Festival did not expand much compared to 2006. This was because Avatar, which was going to change the atmosphere of the Chinese film market, was still on the way.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Huayi held an internal summary meeting, the content of which was kept strictly confidential.

After the meeting, Wang Zongjun, still angry, called Wang Zonglei to his office and threw a magazine at him.

Wang Zongjun is indeed a self-made business tycoon. This was not evident at all at this time. During the meeting, he pointed at the heads of various departments and scolded them all.

"This is a novel that the investment department recommended to me. They said it is very suitable for adaptation into a movie. I read it and I think it is very good. The author is the one who wrote "The Secret Calculation". Please contact the author and tell him that Huayi is planning to purchase his film and television adaptation rights."

"I have a feeling that the spy war genre will have a very large market in mainland China in the future. Adapting this novel will be of great help to our long-term strategic layout. The price can be a little higher, and we will satisfy him no matter how much he wants!"

"We have accepted the film "The Banquet". Anyway, as you said, we will not lose. If we lose, it will be in terms of reputation. As for Chen Nuo, we will settle the old and new accounts with him when we have the chance. During this time, you go and take care of this matter. Remember, keep it strictly confidential and don't spread it to the outside world."

Wang Zonglei looked at the words "The Sound of Wind" on the cover and nodded, "I understand, brother."

The day after Ning Hao and the people from China Film Group held a celebration party for the box office success of "Crazy Stone", Chen Nuo, who was still hungover, received a call from Qi Yuntian.

"What? Mai Jia wants to see me?"

Qi Yuntian's voice was a little solemn. "Yes, I didn't expect that the people from Huayi also took a fancy to this film, and they contacted him, and probably made an offer. Mai Jia didn't tell me the details, but I could tell that the conditions should be better than ours."

Qi Yuntian's voice was a little loud, and the woman next to Chen Nuo seemed to have heard the word Huayi. She poked her head out from under the quilt, her fox-like eyes half open and half closed, staring at him with a little confusion.

After Chen Nuo agreed on the time and place with Qi Yuntian on the phone, he hung up.

Fan Binbing pressed her plump and smooth upper body against him and said in a sweet voice, "What's wrong? Is it about The Whisper of the Wind? Are those bastards at Huayi trying to snatch it from us?"

As one of the only two artists in the studio, Fan Binbing is naturally aware of the big moves currently planned by Chen Nuo and Qi Yuntian.

Chen Nuo nodded and said, "Yes. The author seems to be a little undecided. He asked me to meet him tomorrow to talk." Fan Binbing snorted, "Why are they everywhere? It's so annoying."

Chen Nuo knew that the previous life's "The Sound of Wind" was invested by Huayi Brothers. He originally thought he could get a bargain, but now it seems that there will be a fierce competition.

It’s just that business matters should be dealt with in a business manner, and it’s just a matter of comparing which company offers better conditions.

Why did Mai Jia ask to meet him?

But no matter what, no one knows the potential of the play "The Message" better than him.

Moreover, the success of "Crazy Stone" also gave this emerging grassroots team more confidence and greater courage.

Now people in the industry are going crazy. Everyone knows that Crazy Stone only had an investment of four million, but as of now, the total box office has reached 6000 million.

What is this concept?
Now everyone in the industry is saying that Chen Nuo dug a hole this time and buried Huayi directly.

Because at this point, the grievances between Hua Yi and Chen Nuo are known to everyone.

It was hard to say who was right and who was wrong, but the outcome was clear.

Whether Huayi Brothers can recoup its costs for the drama "Night Banquet" depends on how much face the overseas market gives to Zhang Ziyi.

As of now, "Crazy Stone" is estimated to make Chen Nuo Studio earn ten times the money!
Just look at the box office sales, plus the future copyrights, etc. It's really a huge profit.

The popular saying now is that "Crazy Stone" is really crazy.

Chen Nuo heard Fan Binbing's complaint and smiled, "That's normal. I think some things are good, and other people are not blind, so they can naturally see that they are good things."

Fan Binbing rolled his eyes and said, "Dad... No, Boss, do you want me to go with you?"

"You?" Chen Nuo said with a chuckle, "You want to go?"

Seeing Chen Nuo's fake smile, Fan Binbing felt a little uneasy and quickly explained, "I just want to help the company. I am also a member of the company. I signed a 10-year contract. Boss, 10 years, which is equivalent to selling myself to you. After 10 years, I will be old and ugly. By then, you must not abandon me."

Chen Nuo knew exactly what Fan Binbing meant.

But Fan Binbing could never imagine what he meant.

Unless she knew that if she didn't do those shitty things, she wouldn't have to worry about having no commercial value in 20 years.

Ten years later? That’s when you can fully display your mature feminine charm and be in the limelight.

Chen Nuo hugged her and said kindly, "Don't worry, I've seen how hard you've worked during this period. If one day in the future you need me to take care of you in your old age..."

Fan Binbing said with a snort, "What do you mean by retirement? That sounds so ugly."

Chen Nuo laughed and said, "Although the words may sound harsh, my heart is sincere. How about this, in two years, we will extend your contract for a little longer so that you can rest assured."

Fan Binbing's eyes lit up and he said, "Really?"

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I'm not Huayi. As long as you work hard, the company will never treat you unfairly. I will never let you eat grass and milk. I guarantee with my personality that you will drink milk every day!"

Fan Binbing bit her lip, glanced at him coquettishly, and snorted, "After all, you still want me to drink again."
