Rebirth 2003

?The next day, "Jinyiwei" landed on the big screens of hundreds of theaters across the country and was officially released.

The advantages of a number of co-produced films were finally fully revealed when they were officially released. Shanghai Union Cinema, China Film Xingmei, Southern Film Shinkansen, Beijing Wanda Cinema, and four of the eight major theaters in the country. , Hundreds of theaters, thousands of large screens, showing at the same time.

　　 This is the advantage of co-production of major film companies!

　　 In March, there was a lack of high-quality films in the film market. With the efforts of the major film companies that participated in the investment of "Jinyiwei", "Jinyiwei" was screened in the four major theaters at the same time on the first day of its release.

　　 can be described as huge.

Coupled with the report of the movie’s premiere yesterday afternoon to this morning, the major media’s reports have been directed to the audience, the critics and the audience who participated in the premiere have praised, and the investment humanities ugly said that the box office of this movie can exceed 500 million. , The attractiveness to the audience can be imagined.

　　 Look at the director-Li Rengang.

　　 has gathered such a strong star lineup, coupled with well-known big directors and a large investment of more than 100 million yuan, this time, coupled with the reputation of film critics and premiere audiences, as well as Wen Chou's 500 million box office prediction.

　　 In this off-season film market, how many fans who are eager to see the best films can sit still? Don't want to walk into the cinema right away for a sneak peek?

　　 Of course, if you say you are poor `Diao`si. Can't afford movie tickets, or reluctant to buy movie tickets to go to the cinema. Then what should you do? Anyway, like you, no matter what movie is released. It is estimated that you will never walk into the cinema.

　　……

　　 This morning, Lu Yang was sitting in front of the computer holding a small purple teapot, watching over and over again at the new script he wrote last night, "The Manuscript of Time and Space School Lieutenant 1 Li Bo," to see what else needed to be revised.

　　 The mood is relaxed and comfortable.

　　 From time to time, he retypes the text on the document. This is a habit of him. He doesn't like the densely arranged text of his work, and a paragraph can make people look at it. This is not a historical work, and there is no need to use this type of typesetting to appear heavy in style.

　　 When he wrote last night. I just wanted to write this story as soon as possible. I didn't care much about the typesetting. Some paragraphs had too many words. Looking back today, I felt uncomfortable. I just split the long paragraph into several paragraphs.

　　 As for whether this segmentation method conforms to the code of conduct? He never considers this aspect, he only seeks to be comfortable with himself and his readers.

　　 The Q`Q hanging on the line sometimes sounded didi message prompts. At most, Lu Yang just glanced at it, but didn't use the mouse to click on the message to read it.

　　 It's not that he puts on such a big air. But this morning from 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning, his Q`Q kept ringing, and authors or book fans kept sending messages to tell him about "Jinyiwei". At first, I watched some of it and responded to it. Later, Lu Yang saw that there were too many people sending similar messages. He simply ignored it and planned to wait for the afternoon or evening. Unified reply.

　　 An author sent a message and asked him whether the premiere yesterday really predicted that "Jin Yiwei" would exceed 500 million at the box office?

　　 There is also a message from the author. In a joking tone, he asked if he could give them a few movie tickets.

　　A book fan sent a message to congratulate him on the release of another movie, and a book fan also sent a message saying that today, or tomorrow or a few days later, he will go to the cinema to buy tickets to support him...

　　 It is nothing more than these kinds. At about 9:10, Wang Lin suddenly called. As soon as the call was connected, Lu Yang heard the noisy voices of people and the sound of cars.

Wang Lin’s voice was very pleasant. He said to Lu Yang on the phone: “Wen University! I just walked four cinemas in Shanghai in succession. Let me tell you a good news! The four cinemas I just visited, the ticket office, all have Many movie fans are queuing to buy tickets, most of them are buying tickets for our "Jin Yiwei"! The tickets for the first show are all sold out, and the tickets for the second show are almost sold out! Look at this trend, just watch it today Audiences who have passed our movie can give good reviews, and we can make a lot of money this time! Haha! Wenda! This time we will have a good celebration banquet! Haha!"

　　 On the phone, Wang Lin's good mood was directly conveyed to Lu Yang.

　　 "Okay! If it can exceed 500 million, we will have a celebration banquet!" Lu Yang said with a smile.

"what?"

　　 Wang Lin’s first reaction was this. He asked in disbelief: "Wen University! You are not serious, are you? You really want to pass 500 million? I thought you were just talking about it yesterday!"

"Ha ha!"

　　Lu Yang was amused by him, and Wang Lin continued to ask him if he was serious, but Lu Yang said, "Guess!"

　　 Until the end of the call, Lu Yang did not tell Wang Lin whether he was serious just now.

　　……

　　 In the next few days, the box office data of "Jin Yi Wei" was released one after another. As Lu Yang expected, and as most people outside expected, this movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan and a luxurious star lineup had a very good box office a few days ago.

　　 The box office data on the first day of the show passed 20 million, the next day, the box office still exceeded 20 million, and the same was true on the third day.

　　 The box office in the first three days was 2016 million, 21.24 million, and 21.75 million.

　　 Many news on March 10 revealed that the total box office of "Jin Yi Wei" was over 100 million in five days when it was released.

At around 10 am that day, in the office of the general manager of the Shanghai Film Group headquarters, General Manager Huang, who was over 50, took a few glances at the box office report that the secretary had just handed him. After a sigh of relief, he threw the report on the desk in front of him and sighed: "It is still too cautious! I knew this movie could be like this. When Li Rengang came to the door to attract investment, I should invest more. Ten million, now that this movie is on sale, we can share some soup with Shanghai Film! Okay! I see, you go out!"

　　 "Yes! Mr. Huang!"

　　The secretary dare not express any emotions. He responded softly and quietly exited Mr. Huang's office.

After a period of time. In the quiet luxurious office, Mr. Huang's eyes opened again. Picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.

As soon as the phone was connected, his face immediately showed an enthusiastic smile, and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Director Li! Haha! What are you doing now? Are you still in Shanghai now? Do you have time at noon? I'll do it! How about a drink with our brothers? The box office of "Jin Yiwei" exceeded 100 million so soon, I want to thank you very much on behalf of us on the film! Haha!"

On the phone, Li Rengang smiled and said, "Well, thanks to Mr. Huang for his kindness! I am indeed still here in Shanghai. Sorry Mr. Huang! Tianxiang’s Mr. Zhou has just made an appointment with me, and Mr. Zhou is just two days away. In Shanghai, he also invited me to drink at noon. I just agreed, otherwise, how about tonight? I will be a host to invite you to Mr. Huang tonight?"

"what?"

　　 Mr. Huang was taken aback: "Tianxiang's Zhou Yun has invited you? Is he in Shanghai now?"

　　 Li Rengang: "Oh, yes, Mr. Huang! I'm so embarrassed!"

Mr. Huang first looked disappointed, but he rolled his eyes twice and returned to his enthusiastic smile, saying: "It doesn't matter! I want Zhou Yun to ask Li to guide you, but also to thank you for taking such a picture for us. Great movie! Exactly. Then I will invite you with Zhou Yun at noon! Don't worry! Zhou Yun's side, I will call him immediately and tell him, I think he will still give me this little face!"

　　 Li Rengang: "Oh? Hehe. That's fine! As long as Mr. Zhou doesn't mind, I'm fine here!"

　　……

　　 The call with Li Rengang ended, and the warm smile on Mr. Huang's face faded. There seemed to be a shadow on his face, Zhou Yun asked Li Rengang for the purpose in advance. He could guess it, because he asked Li Rengang for this purpose.

　　 Zhou Yun took the lead! This is for them Shanghai Film Group. Not a good sign.

With a sullen face, he still dialed Zhou Yun's phone. When communicating with Zhou Yun, he returned to his enthusiastic smile and attitude. As expected, Zhou Yun hesitated for his request. , But still did not save his face and agreed to him.

After finishing the call, Mr. Huang did not put down the phone in his hand, and dialed the number of the inside secretary, and said on the phone: "Notify the Copyright Department! Let them send me the two best scripts immediately! Um, The script of the costume action movie! Let them hurry up! I'm waiting to use it!"

　　 "Okay! Mr. Huang!"

　　 At this point, President Huang only temporarily relaxed after putting down the phone, but there was still a thoughtful look in his eyes.

　　 When watching a movie, movie fans generally remember that they are the leading actors of the movie, either the male lead or the female lead, and occasionally it may be a very brilliant supporting role.

　　 But President Huang and his film companies are different. The most important film companies are often talented and powerful directors! Because in their view, movies are the art of directors! It's the work of the director!

　　 A movie, the director is the soul! It is the master of the tone and main line of the entire movie. With the same actors, the same investment, and even the same script, the works, styles and emphasis expressed by different directors will be completely different.

　　 Therefore, a director who can make blockbuster movies is the dream of all film companies.

Tianxiang’s Zhou Yun wanted Li Rengang to help them make another movie, and the same was true for President Huang of Shanghai Film Group. Li Rengang just shot a box office hit "Jin Yiwei". According to common sense, as long as he next The theme of a movie is similar to "Jinyiwei", even if the box office is not as good as "Jinyiwei", it will not lose money, it can make a lot of money!

　　In other words, as long as you can convince Li Rengang, the next film investment can almost be said to be a steady profit. With such a good thing, who is left behind?

　　……

　　 At Li Rengang, his cell phone rang again.

　　The person who called this time was Mr. Xiang, the head of Xinglin Company, and Xinglin Company was also one of the investors of "Jinyiwei".

Mr. Xiang was not inviting him to drink on this call, because Mr. Xiang is not in Shanghai at the moment. He simply stated his intentions on the phone, expressing his hope that Director Li could help their company make a movie, how much investment is needed, and who needs to be invited. The leading role is easy to say.

　　 said in Li Rengang euphemistically that he needs to think about it, and said that "Jin Yi Wei" has just been released, and he needs to take a short break.

　　 Mr. Xiang immediately said that if Director Li is unwilling to make a film for Xinglin Company alone, if Director Li has a new script, they can also participate in the investment.

　　 After this call, Li Rengang received calls from the bosses of seven or eight film companies. Some were from mainland film companies, and three were from Hong Kong film companies.

　　Some people directly stated their intentions, while others just made relationships and friendships with him, because in the previous few calls, when Li Rengang received the next few calls, his heart was as clear as a mirror.

　　 Knowing that the bosses of these film companies in the past have been so dignified, the reason why they are so close to him today is that they saw the box office sales of "Jin Yiwei" and wanted to attract him to film them for them.

　　 This encounter made him very emotional.

　　 In the half a year before the filming of "Jin Yi Wei", how many film companies did he run to attract investment with the script of "Jin Yi Wei"?

　　 What was it like at that time?

　　 At the beginning, almost no one was optimistic about the box office of this movie. They all said that in the current movie market, costume martial arts movies have long since declined.

If it was not for Lu Yang who suddenly said that he could invest 50 million in him, I suggest that he hire Donnie Yen as the starring role. Moreover, Donnie Yen followed closely because of the release of "Ip Man". I am afraid that no one wants to invest in "Jinyiwei".

　　 What makes Li Rengang strange is that the CEOs of so many film companies personally called him this morning, but Lu Yang has been silent.

　　 But he heard that Lu Yang has invited Wu Qian and is preparing to invest in a series of movies. Moreover, the investment plan for the first film is hundreds of millions.

　　 Doesn't he want me to direct?

　　 Li Rengang was puzzled, but still decided to wait for a while to see!

He now has a good view of Lu Yang~www.wuxiaspot.com~ not only because Lu Yang was the first to fancy his "Jinyiwei" script, he promised him 50 million investment as soon as he opened his mouth, but also because of the few that Lu Yang gave him The suggestions, looking back now, are all beneficial to the quality of "Jinyiwei".

　　 Whether it is the lead actor recommended by him or the modification of the plot of the script, especially Lu Yang, in order to make the end of the film exciting enough, offered to increase his investment, but must add a role of Wu Qian and Hong Jinbao's play.

　　This kind of thing, Li Rengang has never encountered before.

　　 The investors he had contacted before, all wished that he could repeatedly compress the investment and let him delete the characters and plots in the script to save the investment in the movie. He has also encountered investors more than once.

　　 But Lu Yang is not like that. He would rather increase investment and ensure the quality of the film. Li Rengang likes such investors in his heart. (To be continued...)
