Perfect Life

Vol 5 Chapter 68: box office

The appearance of Jin Han quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Today, Minghu Culture has an extraordinary position in the domestic film and television circle. In the first two years of its rise, although the first three domestic companies suppressed Minghu Culture, once they found that they could not suppress it, they quickly changed their thinking. By this time, the relationship has basically recovered, so Hu Fei and Yuan Ke, the two big bosses, also rushed over in person to attend the premiere of "Dragon Inn".

The two bosses came over one after another to say hello, chat a few words, and then walked away.

Purely polite.

To put it bluntly, Jin Han may be regarded as a treasure by Li Qian, but for other film companies, although he has been the director of Minghu Culture Film and Television for several years, a director who has not proved his box office strength, in fact There is no status or importance to speak of.

Not to mention the pressure of breaking up with Minghu Culture and thus offending Li Qian to win over. At this stage, directors like Jin Han don’t even look at Cannes, but if you want to make a new movie, run If you go to the bosses like Hu Fei and Yuanke to get investment, you might not even be able to ask your grandfather to tell your grandma.

There is no shortage of directors in China!

And there is no shortage of literary directors.

What is lacking is a good commercial director who can sell well!

Therefore, if two bigwigs in the domestic film and television industry can come over to say hello, say a few words, and send a few blessings, more than 90% of the 100% is for the sake of "Minghu Culture Film and Television Director", not for the sake of Kim Han.

Representatives from other film and television companies and production companies also came over to shake hands and say a few words, but to be honest, they wouldn't be too enthusiastic -- Jin Han, a director who has won awards in Europe, is in their eyes It's already considered a big director level. In fact, if you change someone, everyone is probably willing to win over.

Make a literary film, with a small investment, let the director show his talents to the fullest, and then sell it in Europe. After all, Jin Han is also a little famous and a small network in Europe. Turned over - many small and medium-sized film and television production companies in China have this business idea.

But the problem is, Jin Han is the film and television director of Minghu Culture, Li Qian's right-hand man, and now he has also started to make commercial films, and Li Qian will give it to you as soon as he shoots - he may go to your small film company and give it to you Do you direct a small film that invests three to five million yuan?

So, please be polite, send your blessings, and be decisive.

At present, there is no value to win, and it cannot be drawn.

To be honest, Jin Han felt very uncomfortable when he felt everyone's perfunctory attitude - he is not stupid, and whether the bosses value it or not is the most powerful evaluation for today's film directors!

In contrast, several colleagues in the circle, directors, especially the brothers and sisters from the Shuntian Film Academy, are relatively warm-hearted, at least they feel cordial, and their blessings are also sincere. many.

But the problem is that they are good friends. They are far inferior to themselves in the circle. They don't talk loudly. No matter how sincere and sincere blessings are, it's just a matter of laughing and saying thank you.

Of course, there are still people who really value Jin Han.

Actors and agents.

No matter how Jin Han does not have a high status in the film circle, after all, he is also a person who has walked through Cannes. After winning a Cannes movie, he is enough to be considered to be a popular person. Besides, regardless of the movie, other people Jin Han The TV dramas directed by Director Han before have had very good ratings.

Not to mention a group of young actors who are trying to get along with the big guys in the circle, even if there are many famous celebrities in Minghu Culture, they have to hold it politely when they talk to him.

Maybe if you have the right eye, will you be able to cooperate in the lower part?

Who would dislike too many plays of Minghu Culture?

Unless it is really inappropriate, who would refuse to accept the Minghu Culture drama?

Besides, what if "Dragon Inn" becomes popular?

Now flattering, it's considered a cold stove, isn't it?

…………

Seeing that there are less than 20 minutes left before the opening of the movie premiere, the guests who are supposed to come have basically arrived early. Huang Wenjuan, who is responsible for helping Jin Han and the others organize the premiere ceremony, took the lead in sending out an invitation to all the guests, inviting everyone to come. Take a seat in the theater.

So the crowd rushed out of the living room, went to the screening room, and took their seats.

With a smile on his face, Jin Han nodded and smiled at those he knew and didn't know. After more than half of the people had left, he relaxed a little and turned around to see that there were many people in Minghu Culture's own living room. Just rushed over there and walked over - at this time, everyone from my own family came to send blessings.

What should be said and what should be talked about, I have already talked and talked about the completion of the first cut, the completion of the fine cut, and the completion of the public release version. At this time, Li Qian just smiled and asked: "How is it? , Lao Jin, are you nervous? Are you looking forward to it?"

Jin Han took out a cigarette and lit it, hehe smiled, "I am really looking forward to it, and I am really nervous when I am nervous."

Everyone laughed along.

Turning her head to look over there, He Yingyu was still surrounded by a few people who hadn't left until now, and she couldn't hear what they were talking about. Jin Han couldn't help but sigh, "Xiaoyu is really popular! I hope she can give this movie more. Get some box office!"

His words were three-pointed with emotion, three-pointed with anticipation, and four-pointed, with some indescribable complex meanings.

He saw it from the moment he was standing at the door to welcome the guests, and when he entered the living room, he glanced at it from time to time - He Yingyu is really red! The bosses of big and small film companies, investors, directors, producers, and even some screenwriters, everyone is willing to get close to her, even if they are just familiar. Even the theater party, who has always looked above the top, was very polite to He Yingyu.

There is no way, the box office of "The Matrix" has exploded to this level, at least in the circle of Chinese films, in the Chinese film market, Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu are really popular.

No one can compare.

Zhou Baoshan went to Southeast Asia and couldn't come back in time. Of course, He Yingyu was the focus of the audience.

In contrast, although there are still several famous and popular actresses sitting in this room, such as Cheng Suping, Qin Jingjing, Jiang Yiyi, Liu Yan, Zhao Qing, Zhao Yingying... and even Bai Yujing. kinds of characters. But in front of her enthusiasm, it seems that it is not enough.

You must know that Jiang Yiyi has been a big hit recently!

When walking the red carpet outside the door, the audience cheered and shouted "Huang Rong". The reporters also tried their best to take pictures, but it was useless. When they came here, the bosses of several small film companies saw Her eyes glow, and the big bosses and directors don't pay much attention to her.

The people who really wanted to pay attention to her didn't dare at all—the circle said she was Li Qian's ban. No matter how beautiful and smart, it would not be worth it to offend Li Qian for a woman.

He sighed inwardly. Whether he admits it or not, Jin Han is indeed looking forward to it, and he is also a little proud. At first, Jin Han thought that it might be better for Bai Yujing to play the proprietress in "Dragon Inn", old man. Bai Xian has a wide range of dramas and is popular enough, but Li Qian's "The Matrix" set He Yingyu. He thought about it all night, got up the next day, and decided to change He Yingyu.

There is no way, the acting skills are not enough, you can teach and polish slowly, but the popularity and box office appeal are not what you want to have - if it is not Zhou Baoshan's schedule is full, "The Matrix" After that, "Shaolin Temple" is going to be next, and he wants to pull both of them over.

Now that Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu are partners, they can still borrow a little of the "best screen couple" in "My Sassy Girl" in publicity, which is a relatively good choice other than Zhou Baoshan.

Needless to say, since it is going for the box office, of course, from the step of selecting actors, we must start to consider the promotion and release in the later stage.

In his judgment, since "The Matrix" was made by Li Qian, it must be popular. Therefore, whether it is Zhou Baoshan, who failed to be successfully drawn, or He Yingyu, who was successfully pulled, they are all good borrowers. .

Now, as it turns out, it is estimated that I can borrow a lot of energy.

He couldn't help asking Li Qian: "How much is the box office of The Matrix now?"

Li Qian thought for a while when he heard the words, turned his head to look at the person, Qi Jie was not there, neither was Qin Nuo, but Li Qian really had not watched the box office for more than ten days - since he was sure that "The Matrix" was not available in the North American market I's "Jurassic Park 2" overtook, and he didn't pay much attention to the box office.

So at this time, the strange thing is that, as a director, he doesn't know how much his film box office is - after hesitating for a while, he said: "There should be more than 700 million in China? North America...350 million US dollars?"

A bunch of people felt weird.

But everyone knows very well that Li Qian is such a person, and he is not pretending to be on purpose - if someone else is the director of "The Matrix", it is estimated that even the single digits of the box office have to be remembered. The key is this It is the unprecedented film with the highest box office in the history of Chinese films, and it is also the first film that has truly achieved simultaneous global sales.

But when this matter is put on Li Qian, people really didn't put all their minds on this movie. They really didn't care about these things too much in the past. They can't remember or know their current real-time box office. It's really normal.

Or you can understand that Li Qian's way of pretending to be coercive is more peculiar and refined, and it is several levels higher than the LOW coercion who can't wait to write the box office numbers on their faces so that everyone can see at a glance.

Anyway, I just think he's more arrogant.

But fortunately, the rescuer came back at this time.

After dealing with those investors, He Yingyu felt a little complacent. She was recalling the helpless look in Ming Xiaojing's eyes just now. She couldn't help but snort. Asked about the box office, and then heard Li Qian's answer.

She suddenly felt that in terms of force and rank, she was still a little low.

When I was sought after by a few small bosses who had a little money, and when I was sought after by a rookie director like Ming Xiaojing who hadn't really started on the road, I felt that it was awesome, but the real big cow didn't take this seriously at all.

She came over and said with a smile, "It's already 870 million in China. It is said that in North America, as of last Sunday, the box office has exceeded 410 million US dollars. The forecasting agency re-released a new round of box office forecasts for The Matrix. Originally, they thought that the North American box office could exceed $400 million, but now they have adjusted it, saying that the minimum will not be less than $500 million. Optimistic estimates, there is hope to impact the more than 700 million US dollars of "Titanic". The global box office estimate has not increased much, but it has been raised from 1.3 billion US dollars to 1.45 billion US dollars. "

She reported this string of data with clear articulation and accurate data, showing that she really cares about the box office - Jin Han couldn't help but "tsk tsk", he smiled and sighed inexplicably, and narrowed his eyes. Leisurely fascinated, I do not know what the beautiful picture looks like.

Li Qian thought for a while, and said, "It's been more than a month, and the follow-up potential is limited. It is estimated that it won't be able to climb that high. These box office forecasting agencies have ignored everyone's psychological problems of curiosity, topic heat and potential perspectives ahead. The problem of excessive consumption of moviegoers, according to the data you said, in terms of the North American box office... I estimate that it will take another 100 million US dollars. If it is in the early 500 million yuan, it will be almost the same. If it goes up, there is not much hope. I want to chase "Titanic's $700 million North American box office ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is even more of a dream."

Having said this, he smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Du told you, there must be more than that, right? Don't just pick and say it nicely in the future. North America can get 500 million, and there is probably a hope that it will exceed 1 billion in China... "

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Look at it, I can't pass it, and now the box office has basically squeezed out all the potential of the market."

Jin Han "tsk tsk" again and said, "The world's 1.34 billion US dollars! Except for "Titanic", almost all of them are killed, right?"

He Yingyu is most familiar with this statistic. She opened her mouth and said, "Currently the second in the global box office list is the first "Jurassic Park", which is 1.23 billion US dollars. Looking at it now, there is great hope. Not too small."

Li Qian smiled. He Yingyu's familiarity and attention to the box office situation is not surprising at all. To put it bluntly, even if she shoots another one in the future, there is a movie "The Matrix". , you can leave a name in Chinese film history. Follow-up sequels one after another, no matter how you mix it, it has been guaranteed, and it will not be too bad.

She certainly had reason to pay close attention and care.

At this time, he just turned his head to look at Jin Han and said, "Lao Jin, it is estimated that he will be asked about the box office later. How much are you going to say?"

…………

During the pre-screening interaction and interview, when a reporter asked this question, Jin Han smiled and replied: "The script of "Dragon Inn" was given by our grandfather Qian Er, I am very confident about this story, this drama The male and female protagonists have gathered actors such as He Yingyu, Zhou Zhiyu and Cheng Suping. I am very confident about these actors and their performances, and I am also very confident about myself, so..."

"I hope the box office of this movie can exceed 600 million!"

When the audience heard the words, there was an uproar.
