Chapter 281: Earnings and Gatherings (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)
The glorious eighties and nineties of Hong Kong movies are like a bright galaxy, in which countless movies are like dazzling stars hanging in this galaxy, but no one can deny that in this galaxy, there are always so many stars that emit light, making other stars look dull!
And among them, Wu Jianye told Zhou Yanfa today about the movie "The True Colors of Heroes"!
Before "The True Colors of Heroes" came out, Xiangjiang Movies was the world of "Best Partner", the world of "Five Lucky Stars", and occasionally the world of Cheng Long, but when "The True Colors of Heroes" appeared, Xiangjiang Movies will enter the world of Zhou Runfa!
Of course, Wu Jianye won't explain so much to Zhou Yanfa, but just told him that the serious filming of this drama will bring different changes to his career in the film industry.
After finishing Zhou Runfa, Wu Jianye instructed Liu Feng to contact Di Long and Zhang Guotong, Di Long at this time is just a Hong Kong star who is about to pass out, so it is naturally easy to get it, and Zhang Guolu is just emerging in the Xiangjiang music scene now, so it is not a big problem.
As for Wu Baige, the director of "The True Colors of Heroes", although Wu Jianye didn't like some of his later operations, he also knew that he was the most suitable candidate for filming "The True Colors of Heroes".
When Wu Jianye left Xiangjiang, Fengge Entertainment had officially set up a project for "The True Color of Heroes", as long as Wu Baige came back in Wanwan, it could be filmed.
Xiangjiang Airport!
"You first familiarize yourself with the situation in Xiangjiang and learn Cantonese, and then I will write a script for you next year!" said Wu Jianye and Gong Yin, who was reluctant to give up.
Gong Ying's eyes were slightly red, and then he said, "In the future, you will come to Xiangjiang once a year!"
Wu Jianye touched Gong Bin's head and said with a smile: "I know, don't worry!"
"Hmm!"
Then Wu Jianye kissed Gong Bin goodbye, Xiangjiang in the 80s was not like China, and no one cared about such intimate actions in public!
Looking at the plane flying away from the distance, Gong Zhen stood on the ground with mixed feelings in his heart.
.......
It snowed heavily in Yanjing, and it would make a creaking sound when stepped on the ground.
At this time, the college was on vacation, and Wu Jianye sat on the steps of the courtyard, looking at Zhao Xiaoyan, Wu Shuangqing, and Dai Zhen building snowmen in the courtyard, and their mood was very beautiful.
finally solved the matter of Zhu Xuan and Gong Bin, and the whole 83 years have been spent without danger, and he has reason to be happy.
"Brother, shall we go back for the Chinese New Year this year?"
Zhao Xiaoyan was wearing a white down jacket, her smiling face was red from the cold, and she asked happily.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "I won't go back this year, if you want to go back, go buy a train ticket, and the train ticket will not be easy to buy in a few days." ”
Wu saw that he had accompanied Zhu Yan back to his hometown once before the night, and he was not going to go back for the Chinese New Year this year, although the old lady was at home alone, but the grandfather and grandfather were there, and the old lady would not be too lonely.
Originally, Wu Jianye wanted to take the old lady to Yanjing for the New Year, but the old lady said that she was unwilling.
"Well, then we'll go back tomorrow!" Zhao Xiaoyan said.
They are different from Wu Jianye, they will go back every year when there is a holiday in the past two years.
Wu Jianye glanced at Dai Zhen, who was smirking over there, and said, "Help Dai Zhen buy a good ticket, otherwise I really don't know if he can sit there!"
"Hee-hee!"
Everyone knows Dai Zhen's road idiot, so now when they hear Wu Jianye's ridicule, they can't help laughing.
A few people were chatting, Zhu Yan wore a coffee-colored windbreaker, walked in, looked at the snowman built by Wu Shuangqing and others, and showed a helpless smile.
In the eyes of Wu Shuangqing and others, this is a snowman, but in Zhu Xuan's eyes, this is just a big snowball and a small snowball, and there is a broom standing next to it.......
"What are you talking about?
Zhu Yan asked curiously.
Zhao Xiaoyan took the pastries she brought in Zhu Yan's hand, and told Zhu Yan about what happened just now with a smile.......
As for Wu Jianye's not going back this year, Zhu Yan already knew, so he didn't say anything, but just told Zhao Xiaoyan to be careful when they went back.
"Don't worry, there are several young men, what are you afraid of!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Not only Zhao Xiaoyan and the three of them will go back to their hometown, but even Zhao Xiaoqiang and they will also go back, so they don't have to worry about safety on the road at all.
Jingle bells!
At this time, the landline in the house suddenly rang.
After entering 84 years, Wu Jianye immediately asked Zhao Lei to install a telephone for the place where he lived, and it was not so easy to install a telephone in this era, even Zhao Lei had found a lot of relationships, just this, it cost more than 10,000 yuan to install a telephone in these courtyards.
"Boss, Home Alone has officially exceeded $200 million at the box office!"
Linda's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Linda, this is the sixth time you've called me because of the box office of Home Alone!" Wu Jianye said helplessly.
During New Year's Day, "Home Alone" was officially released in North America, as a classic family movie, "Home Alone" won the top spot at the North American box office as soon as it was released, becoming the biggest dark horse of this year's movies in North America, shocking the entire Hollywood.
And Linda, who is a specific operation in Hollywood, is even more excited, almost every time the box office of "Home Alone" changes, she will call Wu Jianye to report.
"Boss, this is nearly 100 million dollars in revenue, not more than 100 million dollars, according to the prediction of Hollywood professional prediction magazines, the final box office of this movie will be about 300 million US dollars!"
Linda on the other end of the phone was very dissatisfied with Wu Jianye's attitude.
According to Hollywood's sharing method, a film investment producer will receive a share of about 45% of the box office. In other words, up to now, "Home Alone" has brought $90 million in revenue to Phantom Entertainment, and after deducting the $18 million cost of "Home Alone", the net profit has reached $72 million.
If, according to foreign forecasts, the North American box office of "Home Alone" reaches $300 million, it is a net income of $117 million.
This does not include European and Asian rights, television rights, and the largest portion of video revenue.
If you all count it all, the revenue of a single movie will be more than $250 million!
This is also the reason why Linda is dissatisfied with Wu Jianye's attitude, this is 250 million US dollars!
As for Wu Jianye, he has long known the power of this movie, so naturally he is not as excited as Linda.
"Phantom Entertainment must be very busy now!" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.
With great gains comes great troubles, this is an eternal truth.
"Yes, the threshold of Phantom Entertainment is about to be broken, and the seven major Hollywood companies have sent people, hoping to cooperate with Phantom in the follow-up series of "Home Alone"!"
Linda was in a blissful state at this point.
In Linda's description, Wu Jianye knew that MGM was shameless and wanted to buy the copyright of "Home Alone" directly, not to mention Wu Jianye, even Linda directly refused.
“....... Boss, which company should we work with?"
If you want to become big in Hollywood, you must be inseparable from the Seven in the early stage, don't think about leaving the Seven and doing it alone, according to Hollywood's urine, if Phantom Entertainment dares to do this, it will immediately face the ban of the Seven Majors, at that time, even if Wu Jianye has more classic movies in his hands, it is useless.
Only cooperation is king!
As for when the Phantom will become big in the future, that's another story.
"Universal Pictures!" Wu said.
The distribution of "Home Alone" was in cooperation with Universal Pictures, and it is understandable to continue to cooperate with Universal Pictures now.
"Okay, I'll contact Universal Pictures right away!" Linda said.
.......
After Zhao Xiaoyan and the others went home, Wu Jianye's courtyard did not seem deserted, different people would come over every day, and some would simply come to eat and drink, such as foodies like Tianzhuangzhuang.
There are also some who came to celebrate Wu Jianye.
After "The Red Lantern Hangs High" won the award in Venice, Wu Jianye returned to China, first took care of Zhu Xuan, and then took Zhu Xuan out for a trip, and finally even went to Xiangjiang.
It was only now that Wu Jianye's friends blocked Wu Jianye.
For example, today, in the courtyard of Wu Jianye, a group of new and old friends came.
Old friends include Chen Peisi, Ge You, Yang Zhun, Zhao Baogang and others, and new friends are Zhu Shimao, who came with Chen Peisi, and the two will officially appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala this year, performing the classic "Eating Noodles" sketch.
Although many people in later generations called Zhao Benshan the king of sketches, in fact, in the eyes of Wu Jianye, the real king of sketches should be Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, Zhao Benshan's sketches still have some limitations, more are liked by the audience in the northeast, and the influence in the south is much worse.
The sketches of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao are different, basically covering the entire Chinese region, but unfortunately the personalities of the two are too rigid!
"How's the skit going for you two?"
A group of people gathered around, eating hot pot, but it was also lively, Wu Jianye curiously asked Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao about the rehearsal of the sketch.
Don't look at Chen Peisi's witty roles in sketches and movies, Zhu Shimao plays a positive character, in fact, in life, Chen Peisi's character is more rigorous, while Zhu Shimao's personality is more sleek.
Zhu Shimao complained on the side: "Don't mention it, it's a bumpy road......"
Wu Jianye suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Come, say it and let everyone be happy!"
Chen Peisi glanced at Wu Jianye with a wine glass, but Zhu Shimao smiled and talked about the creation story of "Eating Noodles".
"At the beginning, the Spring Festival Gala crew found me and Peisi to write the script, at that time, the entire Spring Festival Gala crew lived in the hotel to create, and Peisi and I wrote the script in a week, and it didn't pass at all. ”
Ge You smiled and asked, "And then?"
Zhu Shimao smiled: "What else can I do, continue to write."
At that time, I had to pay food stamps for dinner in the hotel, and the crew was also very difficult, so I left because Peisi and I couldn't stay any longer, but we forgot to notify the Spring Festival Gala crew at that time.
The man suddenly disappeared.
The crew of the Spring Festival Gala mobilized the whole crew to look for the two of us everywhere, and later the leaders of Bayi Factory sent people to find us, and I had no choice but to go back and continue to write the script.
In order to write the script of this sketch, I ran away from the hotel three times before and after. In the end, the script was finalized. ”
Ge You: "You are deserters!"
Chen Peisi said in a deep voice beside him: "What kind of deserter, don't you know, some people are purely laymen leading insiders, and they express their opinions indiscriminately, which makes people uncomfortable!"
"I'm afraid of anything from a layman leading an insider!" Wu Jianye concluded.
"But no, I was ready to give up later, and if Lao Mao hadn't persuaded me, I wouldn't have been ready to participate. Even now, Chen Peisi is very dissatisfied.
Yang Zhun smiled and asked, "Then how did you overcome it later?"
Zhu Shimao said with a smile: "Two days ago, I happened to perform for the athletes of our country, looking at the smiles of the athletes in the audience, Peisi naturally has nothing to dissatisfaction with!"
After hearing this, everyone laughed.
In 83, the CCTV TV Drama Department, the Recording Department of the Television Art Committee and the TV Troupe of the Huaxia Broadcasting Art Troupe were officially merged to form the Huaxia TV Drama Production Center.
The new friend Yang Zhun brought was his colleague Zheng Xiaolong in the Huaxia TV Drama Production Center, and Zheng Xiaolong also brought his friend Wang Shuo.
He served as the producer of "Desire", "The Story of the Editorial Department" and directed "Yanjing People in New York", "Happiness Like Flowers", "Golden Wedding", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Legend of Miyue", .......
This is Zheng Xiaolong's report card, a proper TV series.
The most important thing is that Zheng Xiaolong later became the leader of the TV drama production center, and if he wants to make TV series in Huaxia, he is an unavoidable character.
As for Wang Shuo, not to mention the spiritual leader of the Beijing circle, this one name is enough.
"Director Wu, I watched your "The Red Lantern Hangs High", I personally like it very much, congratulations on winning the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival!" Zheng Xiaolong raised his glass.
Wang Shuo said with a smile on the side: "I haven't read "The Red Lantern Hangs High", but I have read "Alive" you wrote, it's really good!"
Wu Jianye naturally knew Wang Shuo's character, and said with a smile: "It's fate that everyone can sit together, and everyone will be friends in the future, don't be so polite!"
"Not bad!" Wang Shuo nodded.
Zhao Baogang came with his classmate Li Chengru in the advanced class of Yenching Film Academy.
Now Li Chengru is working as a drama manager in the crew of "Journey to the West", and he is also taking advantage of the Chinese New Year to rest for two days, or he really doesn't have time.
However, what impressed him the most was his line in "Big Shot", a few hundred words of lines, coupled with the change of Chinese and English and tone, Li Chengru could pass the words clearly in one shot, and he was absolutely good at the lines.
His temper is also relatively hot, but unfortunately when he meets a master of sophistry, he seems a little powerless.......
"Director Wu, Director Yang Jie often talks about you, if it weren't for your help, the crew would have been unable to solve many shooting problems!"
Li Chengru said with a smile.
Wu Jianye said modestly: "Director Yang is too polite, I'm nothing, I'm just helping to beat the side drum!"
