Huayu Entertainment: You have been directing for three generations, are you comparing your qualifica

Chapter 139 Breaking Records!

The Wong brothers were all smiles as they watched the box office figures for "The Thieves" on its opening day.

Fan Binbin and Wang Baoqiang are both actors from Huayi Brothers Media Group. Tian Xiaole is helping them cultivate artists.

Thinking about their current relationship, Wang Zhonglei's smile faded, and he said with some concern:
"Brother, we may not be able to get involved in Tian Xiaole's projects in the future."

Wang Zhongjun was also very upset about this. They were not optimistic about the Pacific Rim project at first, especially since the later stages of production were to be done in China.

It doesn't seem reliable at all.

Especially since Wang Jinghua had just left Huayi Brothers, they needed to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, so they could only keep throwing money into the market.

The films "Mo Gong," "The Banquet," and "Rob-B-Hood" all had large budgets.

[Rim of the Pacific] Such a high investment, if it were before, I could have taken a gamble, but at that time it was a special period, so I had to choose to refuse.

Wang Zhongjun pondered for a moment and then slowly said:
"Prepare some generous gifts, we'll go and wish Grandma Yu a Happy New Year."

"Then let's have some supplements or something."

Wang Zhonglei guessed his elder brother's intention: he wanted to plead for leniency.

They couldn't possibly back down to Tian Xiaole, a junior, and they would go to Yu Lan's house to pay New Year's respects; no one could find fault with that.

In order to cooperate on future projects, one must be willing to abandon all pretense of decency.

···
The main cast and crew who were promoting the show in South Korea are back. The area is only so big, and they basically covered all the major cities in two days.

They were not given any extra rest time and were immediately thrown into offline roadshows.

China is too big, and there are many places to travel to.

They were divided into two teams, with Jiang Wen, Tang Yan, Mei Ting, and others in charge of the northern cities.

The others, including Fan Binbin, Quan Zhixian, and Huang Bo, were responsible for the southern cities.

In order to better boost box office revenue and attract audiences to the cinema.

The following day, box office revenue continued to grow, reaching 24.5 million.

Some media outlets have begun to boldly predict that the box office could reach 2 million.

As for 3 million, that's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of; piracy is a huge problem in China.

Tian Xiaole is a famous director, and his film was already targeted by pirates during its promotional period.

Fortunately, China Film Group took this seriously and implemented certain anti-theft measures.

After the box office results came out the next day, the main cast and crew put on an even more energetic promotional tour.

Wherever they went, the audience showed great enthusiasm.

Fan Binbin was the happiest of all.

Although "The Thieves" is an ensemble piece, it cannot overshadow her brilliance.

Or rather, Tian Xiaole amplified her strengths.

Fan Binbin wants to stir things up and surpass the highest single-day box office of "The Promise".

Her love-hate relationship with Jun Ji-han, coupled with their striking good looks, has led many viewers to ship them as a couple.

During the promotional event in Shanghai, Fan Binbin and Jun Ji-hyun portrayed a close sisterly bond.

At the host's request, the two recreated a scene from the play, sharing a deep gaze.

This drew screams and cheers from the audience.

The stay in one cinema is less than an hour, and then they rush to the next cinema.

Many viewers have been fooled by "The Promise" and are still taking a wait-and-see approach, not wanting to be forced to watch it again.

After two days of positive word-of-mouth, film critics have given the film high praise, and viewers who were initially hesitant have gone to the theaters to see for themselves.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, box office revenue continued to rise, reaching 27.3 million yuan.

It broke the record of 25 million in a single day held by [Wuji].

The box office reached 74.5 million in the first three days of the weekend!
At the same time, bad news also came.

Han Sanping told Tian Xiaole that pirated videos had appeared online and pirated CDs were also available offline.

Piracy is an unavoidable problem, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"The box office is very good. If the word-of-mouth doesn't collapse afterward, it's very likely that it will reach 3 million!"

"Uncle Han, things aren't looking good until the piracy issue is resolved," Tian Xiaole reminded him.

"Relevant departments are already tracking and cracking down on it. It's unrealistic to completely solve the problem, so let's try to slow down its spread."

Han Sanping's tone was somewhat helpless; this was a characteristic of the times, and there was no way to solve it.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, a new record was set for the highest single-day box office for a Chinese-language

The amount received is 31.4 million!

With this, the box office has exceeded 100 million in just four days!
Since the beginning of the new millennium, only a few Chinese-language films have grossed over 100 million yuan.
[Hero], [House of Flying Daggers], [A World Without Thieves], [Kung Fu], [The Promise]!
【The Thieves】 is the sixth installment, and it was the shortest in terms of runtime.

China Film Group immediately released a poster congratulating the company on surpassing 100 million yuan in box office revenue, and several production companies quickly followed suit by reposting it.

Mainland directors are not good at this type of urban crime action film, but the 'Spring Festival' film season has attracted the attention of many big directors.

The person who came up with the concept of 'family-friendly' movie viewing is simply a genius.

In major cinemas, you can see many families watching movies together.

Meanwhile, news from South Korea is also encouraging, with attendance surpassing one million. The film has also been released in other overseas countries and regions under the arrangement of China Film Group.

"Ahhh~ We've surpassed 100 million!"

After returning to his hotel from the roadshow, Fan Binbin was ecstatic to learn that the box office had surpassed 100 million yuan.

This is the first film starring mainland Chinese actors to gross over 100 million yuan.

Fan Binbin guessed that the box office would exceed 100 million yuan, but when it actually broke 100 million, he was still extremely excited.

She has one representative work of her own.

The other lead actors were also very happy, as this was an ensemble piece and they all gave outstanding performances.

Major portal websites and print media outlets followed up with reports.

"【The Thieves】Breaked 100 million in four days, with box office soaring all the way, and we look forward to creating a new miracle."

"The success of the film is inseparable from the combination of 'Spring Festival' and 'family entertainment,' and the concept of the Spring Festival film season has been clearly defined for the first time."

···
"Brother Tian, ​​it's been a long time since I've acted in one of your plays."

In a hotel room, Wang Luodan was completely naked, her face flushed, nestled in Tian Xiaole's arms, her hand drawing circles on her chest.

"There's nothing I can do if there's no suitable role."

Tian Xiaole ran her hand through her short hair, fiddling with it.

"There's a film auditioning for actors recently, could you recommend me?"

"No wonder you were so proactive earlier, this is what you really wanted today!"

Tian Xiaole gripped Wang Luodan's hair tightly and lifted his face.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​you're hurting me."

Tian Xiaole let go of her hand and pinched her cheek:
"Tell me, which director directed this film?"

Wang Luodan, who had just been pretending to be wronged, instantly put on a smiling face:

"It's director Zhao Baogang's new film. The competition for the female lead is fierce, which is why I asked you for help, senior brother."

"TV drama?"

Zhao Baogang is a director in the field of television dramas, while Wang Luodan is the leading actress in a film that grossed 60 million yuan.

If I go back to acting in TV dramas, I'll seem to be going back to my old ways.

Given the current scarcity of film and television resources, actors are already fortunate to have any roles to play; they don't have the right to choose between movies and TV series.

What's the name of the play?

"【struggle】!
The author is also the screenwriter for this play, so the plot is definitely guaranteed.

Tian Xiaole was quite impressed with Wang Luodan; she had even learned to analyze scripts.

This drama was very popular, and all five main actors became A-list stars.

"Let me ask, but it might not work out."

Zhao Baogang owns his own film and television company, so when he promotes someone, he will definitely choose his own people first, or there will be an exchange of benefits.

Previously, because of Dong Xuan's matter, Tian Xiaole had Zhao Baogang's contact information, and the two had even spoken on the phone.

Otherwise, one is in the film industry and the other is in the television industry, so there really isn't much overlap between them.

"Hello, Director Tian?"

Zhao Baogang and Lao Tian are from the same generation. Although Tian Xiaole is young, no one dares to underestimate his achievements. It is perfectly acceptable to call him Director Tian.

"Director Zhao, I heard that you are auditioning for your new film. My company's artist, Wang Luodan, would like to recommend her to you."

This put Zhao Baogang in a difficult position. Tian Xiaole was definitely aiming for the female lead, but the role had already been cast with Ma Yili, thanks to Wen Zhang's matchmaking.

During a karaoke party, Zhao Baogang sang with several selected male actors.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wen Zhang called Ma Yili over; the two were already secretly dating at the time.

Zhao Baogang was attracted by Ma Yili's short and capable image. After a pleasant exchange of songs, she successfully won the lead role.

Wenzhang is very considerate and takes charge of guarding the goal.

Wang Luodan is also suitable; she has a neat short haircut and is the female lead in a movie that grossed 60 million yuan.

In comparison, it's a much better choice.

In particular, since Tian Xiaole personally spoke up, he is definitely willing to exchange resources.

"Let's send someone over for an audition. I hope Director Tian will give Xinbaoyuan's actors some consideration in your production."

"I definitely will if a suitable role comes along."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Xiaole looked at Wang Luodan, who was beaming with joy:
"I recommend you go there. Perform well and don't embarrass me."

"Isn't this an audition?"

"Are you stupid? He already asked me to take care of the actors in his company, so the role will definitely be given to you."

As soon as he said that, Tian Xiaole's back started to hurt terribly.

Wang Luodan's way of repaying him was simple: she used every trick in the book to satisfy this reliable man.
