World-class directors in the entertainment industry

[The author's new book: [The Rise of the Heavens from the Siheyuan], officially launched, everyone is welcome to collect and support. 】

Early July.

Hilton Hotel.

In a huge banquet hall...

On the podium...

An ice sculpture made of ice cubes in the shape of the number 350,000,000 made people who walked into the banquet hall involuntarily take a few more glances.

Downstairs in the hotel, the red carpet was laid out.

On both sides of the red carpet, reporters were ready.

"This Chinese director is so amazing. Movies not made by him, but movies written by him, do well at the box office and make money every time."

"Yeah, I really have to be convinced, even if I don't like his skin color."

"Shh...you have a lot of money? Stop saying this, otherwise...you will become a homeless person."

"Three grams of oil, mine, I drank fake wine."

"The cost was US$5 million, and the global box office was as high as 350 million. This box office alone has earned N times the cost."

"Some experts have calculated that it will earn 100 million at the box office alone."

"If you add in the subsequent copyright, the income from offline disc lights is estimated to be more than 300 million."

"Actually, this is not the most important thing. Do you know? I heard that this [Human Purge Plan] is a series and it was decided before it was released."

"A series? That would be even more profitable. Anyway, based on the cost and reputation of the first part, the second part will still make money no matter how bad it is."

The reporters who were waiting to take photos of the celebrities started chatting among themselves.

The words were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Perfect as always...Qin."

"A toast to your genius."

Upstairs in the hotel, in a certain room.

Martin held two red wine glasses, handed one to Qin Dong, and said so.

"Shred."

Qin Dong, who was standing in front of the window without moving, just reached out to take the red wine, touched it, and took a small sip.

"I think more celebration banquets like this should be held. For example, [Divergent 2] is waiting to be released in a few days. I bet it will do well at the box office. We can also hold it after it is released."

When he came to the window, Martin, who accompanied Qin Dong and looked at the red carpet below, suddenly made a suggestion.

"Well, they are all artists signed by your CAA, Martin, of course you did."

Qin Dong, who did not turn his head, looked down and said casually.

I didn’t agree directly, but I didn’t refuse directly either.

Let’s talk about the next thing later.

If Qin Dong hadn't just finished filming his first movie with Warner DC, the crew had been disbanded, and a wrap-up banquet had to be held for the crew, Qin Dong wouldn't have appeared here at all.

It just so happens that Heishui Longqi's summer vacation this year blocks the release of the first movie "Human Purge", and the global release has officially ended for one month.

Achieving global box office figures of 353 million made everyone in the company happy. The manager, Caesar, called Qin Dong to consult Qin Dong’s opinion and asked whether a celebration banquet would be held.

Qin Dong happened to have finished filming and also needed to hold a wrapping party for the DC superhero crew, so the two teamed up to organize it together, saving money and trouble.

"Haha... Speaking of which, China's movie market is getting bigger and bigger, and its growth rate is getting faster and faster. I didn't expect that this time, this movie would have the largest box office in the world in China..."

Martin smiled. Since Qin Dong didn't answer, he couldn't continue talking.

So he changed the subject and started praising her.

"Everything is being estimated..."

Qin Dong was not surprised. China was his base, and no one knew it better than him.

[Purge], this movie has a global box office of 353 million.

However, North America only has 81 million U.S. dollars, and the rest of the world has only more than 90 million U.S. dollars, neither of which has exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars.

Only China's box office has exceeded US$100 million, and is almost reaching US$200 million.

This is the reason why the global box office has reached 353 million.

"The box office is 70 times the cost, which is almost breaking the record in Hollywood's history."

When Martin saw Qin Dong's expression, he was also convinced.

As a foreigner, he was surprised. He was a native of China, so it was normal for him to know more.

"Refresh it quickly, but it hasn't been refreshed. In fact, it is difficult to refresh it. Let's check again in a hundred years."

When Qin Dong heard this, he thought of a certain DV movie at the beginning of the millennium, its cost, and its unexpected box office data.

If you want to refresh this record, it may never be possible again.

There is nothing wrong with saying that there is no one before or after.

That [movie], let’s call it a movie.

That movie cost $15,000, yes, you read that right, only $15,000, but it made a global box office of $200 million.

With a box office of US$200 million and a cost of US$15,000, it is really difficult for others to break through this multiple.

The box office was 13,000 times the cost, thirteen thousand times.

Disappointing record numbers.

"See you again in a hundred years?"

"Perhaps, it is really necessary..."

Martin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then after thinking about the cost and box office of certain movies, he silently agreed.

There are some weird records that really make it hard for people to have the desire to catch up.

Because the gap is wider than the Pacific Ocean.

...

Kyoto, morning.

within a certain neighborhood.

"What's wrong with this kid Tongtong? He's so angry so early in the morning?"

After Guan Ma made breakfast, she served it on the table and looked at the family cooking around the table.

The look on the second daughter's face made Guan Ma couldn't help but ask about her husband.

"What else could be the reason? Isn't it because I didn't go to Los Angeles to attend the celebration party of [Human Purge Plan] in which she starred..."

Guan's father, who had closed the newspaper and was about to have breakfast, heard this and looked at his second daughter angrily.

He didn't agree with this at all.

No matter how old the child is, he is still a child and wants to run around, even abroad.

"It's too far. Besides, Tongtong is not the protagonist. Why are you running there? There's no need."

Guan Ma heard this and agreed with this point.

Not going is the right decision.

"Dad, Mom...you..."

It's a pity that the second elder's attitude offended a certain angry little girl.

The little girl was wearing kawaii pajamas, but she still couldn't hide her long legs, which were more than one meter long.

Xiaohe has exposed her sharp corners...

"Eat honestly, and hurry up and write your summer homework after dinner. Don't wait for the day when your company will have a role again. Then you will have to rush to write before school starts."

Dad Guan made a serious request.

Children should not be too spoiled.

It must be taught from an early age.

"Tongtong, there is no need to worry. You are still young. Besides, you signed a thirty-year contract with Daqin. Your future is already guaranteed. You just need to follow the company's requirements and follow the steps."

Guan Ma still said a few words.

Nowadays, children are not the same as before. We cannot implement stick education, but must be enlightened properly.

"Yes, what your mother said is right. Your company didn't ask you to go, otherwise you would have already booked the flight. Since the company didn't ask, it means it's not necessary. Don't make your own calculations.

Hurry up and eat."

Dad Guan also said a few words casually.

Children don't understand the ways of the world, how can they as adults understand it?

[Human Purge] held its premiere at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles a month ago.

At that time, the company that the second daughter signed with did not allow Tongtong to go to Los Angeles to attend the premiere. The celebration party a month later also did not require u.

You must know that children are on summer vacation now, which means it is not because they are afraid of delaying their studies, but there is really no need to go.

As for the specific idea, it doesn’t matter if Guan’s father and Guan’s mother can’t think of it.

Anyway, after signing the contract for thirty years, the company must focus on training their daughter.

Since the company has no requirements, there is no need to look for trouble on your own.

The right path is to follow the footsteps of others.

"Hey...children have no human rights."

A little girl was unwilling to be suppressed by adults and shouted.

"Have a meal."

This time Guan Ma also lost her temper and scolded her daughter.

Children must always be treated with a serious policy.

...

In the morning in Kyoto, the corresponding Los Angeles time is when it gets dark.

"Oppa..."

At this time, Qin Dong heard a familiar female voice in the Hilton Hotel.

"Baby, is the movie finished?"

Looking at Lin Yuner, whom he hadn't seen for several months, Qin Dong asked in confusion.

The movie that Yoona participated in was obviously shot later than the DC movie that Qin Dong shot. Now Qin Dong's movie has just been finished and Yoona is back...

This kind of speed is usually only seen by Qin Dong's crew.

"Hello, President Martin."

"Yes, Oppa, the plot of this movie is very simple. It mainly has a lot of special effects, and it was shot in two groups."

"Most of the shots were shot with the male and female protagonists in a group, and the male and female second actors in a group."

"Only in the middle and late stages do these four characters intersect."

Yoon'er walked up quickly, took Qin Dong's arm, first greeted Martin, who was also in the room, and then introduced her story about the crew that she had just finished with her small mouth.

"That's it...it was shot by two groups."

Qin Dong suddenly realized, no wonder he was so fast.

This model is nothing new.

Qin Dong had previously asked the assistant director to take the producers sent by Warner to film the location portion of the DC superhero movie, but Qin Dong did not go.

If Qin Dong also recruits the remaining actors to shoot other parts at that time, these two together will be considered a two-team shooting mode.

"Baby, how did you know I was here?"

Qin Dong, who still had questions, asked again.

He is not in the banquet hall downstairs now. This is the guest room upstairs in the Hilton Hotel.

"Oppa, I asked your security director, Director Zheng."

Yoona answered with a bright smile...

It's just that Qin Dong sensed something was wrong, and since Yoon'er behaved like this, it wouldn't be right to ask Zheng Dajun directly. This was not like what Yoon'er would do:

"Oh? Do you have something to tell me urgently?"

Although the woman was smiling like a flower in her usual manner, Qin Dong, who was careless, found a hidden hint of worry in her.

"...this..."

Yoona hesitated, her eyes drifting to Martin.

"Haha... As an old man, I won't get involved in matters between young people. I'll go down first to meet my acquaintances."

Martin is very judgmental about people's expressions, so he took the initiative to speak.

"See you later, Martin."

"See you later, President Martin."

Qin Dong and Yoona exchanged polite words with Martin... and watched Martin leave the room.

"Tell me..."

The man then turned to the woman and asked.
