Chapter 163: "Happy Ghost" is released
"Let's go watch "Happy Ghost", starring Dong Wan. ”
A young couple held hands, and the girlfriend was coquettish to her boyfriend, and the boyfriend could only agree.
Since it's called "Happy Ghost", it should be a comedy, so it doesn't matter if you watch it.
""Happy Ghost" is a ghost movie, isn't it okay to watch a ghost movie during the holidays?"
"What's so bad? This is a comedy, even Dong Wan said that it will make people laugh out of their stomachs. ”
"It's the one who sings "Sweet Honey", the songs she sings are always good, and the movies she acts in must be good. ”
"Then let's go check it out. ”
Similar situations happen in many places, and many fans are willing to pay to see "Happy Ghost".
"Decisive Battle" is a hot-blooded police film, with big investment, big stars, and many people watch it.
"Battle Flag" is a costume martial arts, and it is also a big production, and there are also many people watching it.
However, after the box office came down on the first day, everyone was a little stunned.
The thirteenth box office on the first day was actually "Happy Ghost", with a box office of 60 million!
"Battle Flag" sixth, 80 million!
"Decisive Battle" ninth, 75 million!
As for the top five, they are all the works of those first-line directors.
You must know that the last two movies are both movies with an investment of more than 100 million, and the investment in "Happy Ghost" is only 10 million, which makes people feel embarrassed.
The single-day box office is enough for "Happy Ghost" to make a steady profit.
Liu Xing and Tian Zhen were also shocked by the box office of "Happy Ghost" on the first day.
"Wait and see, tomorrow the box office will shrink dramatically. Many people are going for Dong Wan, but not so many people are willing to watch this movie later. ”
"That's right, if the box office of "Happy Ghost" can exceed 10 million tomorrow, my name will be written upside down!"
Many people look down on "Happy Ghost" and think that the success of "Happy Ghost" is just because of Dong Wan's new album.
At this moment, Zhao Xueyi and others have begun to celebrate.
"Congratulations to Mr. Xiao for winning the first battle!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Dong!"
"Congratulations Miss Ji!"
"Congratulations Xiaomo!"
Everyone was very happy.
Ji Anran didn't expect that he could achieve such a big success in his first movie, and he was very happy.
Dong Wan is more excited than anyone else, a few months ago she was still worried about whether she could continue to mix in the entertainment industry, but now she has become popular, which is something she never dreamed of.
Xiaomo is very calm, she acted in the movie to complete the task of Master Tai.
"Even if the box office has been shrinking, it should be no problem to break 100 million. Zhao Xueyi said with a smile, "With an investment of 10 million and a box office of 100 million, our Director Xiao may be able to become the best rookie director of the year." ”
Everyone's happy.
Xiao Yang didn't think that the box office of "Happy Ghost" would take a big plunge.
Tomorrow will know!
The next day, everyone thought that the box office of "Happy Ghost" would take a big dive, but everyone was slapped in the face again, and the box office of "Happy Ghost" was as high as 50 million!
The box office of "Decisive Battle" is 54 million!
The box office of "Battle Flag" is 60 million!
"This ......"
Everyone was stunned by the box office success of "Happy Ghost".
The director of "The Final Battle" said to his assistant, "Buy me a ticket." ”
After he went to the cinema and watched "Happy Ghost", he had to admit that this movie was really good, and it carried forward the theme of comedy ghost movies.
Xu Anbang couldn't let go of his body to watch "Happy Ghost", and he was confident that his movie would never lose to this kind of shoddy production.
On the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day, and the seventh day! The box office of "Happy Ghost" was all slightly reduced, but none of them fell below 25 million!
"Happy Ghost" suddenly became a phenomenal movie, and the box office in the East China Sea directly surpassed "Decisive Battle" and "Battle Flag", and the fifth box office in the country in the first week, with a total box office of 210 million.
Although the money for this movie was invested by Oracle Entertainment, it was in the name of Xiao Yang, so most of the money went into Xiao Yang's pocket.
People at the top of Oracle Entertainment all know that the Shen family transferred their shares to Xiao Yang, and they also know that Xiao Yang invested 10 million to make movies. Everyone thought that Xiao Yang was playing with tickets before, but after the box office came out, they were all shocked.
"It's not easy for us to be a major shareholder. "Everyone sighed.
......
In the evening, the crew of "Happy Ghost" reported the celebration banquet.
"Director Xiao, congratulations. ”
Liu Xing took the initiative to toast Xiao Yang, "It's me who has lost my eyes." ”
He really didn't expect "Happy Ghost" to be so popular.
"Congratulations to Director Xiao!"
Hu Feihua also came to congratulate.
In fact, he is the happiest, he was already exhausted, but he didn't expect to rely on "Happy Ghost" to turn over, and now there are many directors who want to ask him to make a movie.
Not only him, Dong Wan, Ji Anran and Su Yimo also received a lot of film appointments.
Xiao Yang said, "Director Liu, I plan to make "Happy Ghost" into a series, but I don't plan to be the director of the next few films. ”
Liu Xing was both surprised and delighted, could it be ......
Xiao Yang said, "I think you're quite suitable." ”
Liu Xing is not hypocritical, and immediately promised that he would definitely shoot the follow-up films.
In Hong Kong, Xiao Yang's world, "Happy Ghost" is indeed a series, and each one has a good box office.
Liu Xing is qualified enough to be the director of the "Happy Ghost" series.
Xiao Yang looked at Ji Anran, "In the future, you will stay at Oracle Entertainment to make movies." ”
Ji Anran was a little resistant, she really didn't like this business, but thinking of the recent troubles at home, she could only convince herself to do it for a while.
Her family needs money, and her brother is going to college.
Liu Xing immediately pulled Xiao Yang aside to discuss some of his ideas.
Xiao Yang told the general plot of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" and "Happy Ghost Hitting Ghost" in his world, and immediately convinced Liu Xing.
After chatting about the creation of the script, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Director Xiao shoot it himself?"
The reason why Xiao Yang doesn't want to make a sequel is because he doesn't want to waste time making a sequel, he directs "Happy Ghost" as a rookie director, and his popularity can increase explosively, but if he continues to direct a sequel, it is basically impossible to increase his popularity.
But these things, he won't tell Liu Xing, he patted Liu Xing on the shoulder, "because I think you can shoot better than me." ”
Liu Xing was moved, and he had a feeling that it was difficult to find a confidant.
At this time, Hu Feihua suddenly came over and said, "Director Xiao, take a step to speak." ”
Xiao Yang came with him, "What's the matter?"
Hu Feihua was speechless, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I want to advance the salary of a "Happy Ghost" in advance." ”
Xiao Yang frowned, he was not wronged.
Hu Feihua hurriedly explained, "I want to terminate the contract with Qingyun Club, and I need to pay a liquidated damages." ”
Xiao Yang was slightly stunned, he had heard of Qingyun Club, it was founded by Zhu Qingyun, a big man in the cross talk industry, and most of the cross talk actors in China were in Qingyun Club.
And it is said that Zhu Qingyun, the president of the Qinglong Club, has a very big background, and even the people of the entertainment committee are not willing to offend.
There are even rumors that after someone offended Zhu Qingyun, he was directly banned.
