When Wu Jianye was waiting for the members of the "Inception" crew to come here, Li Na had already sent the box office of "Eternal Night" over.

At this time, it has been more than a month since the release of "Eternal Night".

The box office has also reached 165 million, becoming the highest-grossing film since the beginning of this year, surpassing the Hollywood blockbuster "True Lies" released last year.

In another time and space, "True Lies" got a super high box office of 103 million, but in this time and space, the box office of the movie "True Lies" exceeded 150 million!

This is all thanks to the emergence of Fengge Cinema.

The box office of Xiangjiang has also officially exceeded the box office of 50 million Hong Kong dollars, but this movie obviously has no reserve in Xiangjiang, and it is estimated that the final box office will be around 55 million!

However, this is already a very good result.

Subsequently, the box office in Asia has exceeded 45 million US dollars, and the box office in European and American countries has exceeded 70 million US dollars!

The global box office is converted into RMB for a total of 1.18 billion!

It is expected that the final box office will reach about 1.5 billion yuan!

This box office really caused quite a stir once it was reported, and other domestic film companies or studios actually only announced their own domestic box office, and rarely announced overseas box office.

But the court culture has been reported, and many people in private say that this is Wu Jianye's confidence.

However, some well-intentioned people still see the problems in this, such as the box office of "Eternal Night" in Europe and the United States, which cannot be compared with Wu Jianye's previous movie "The World of Chu Xing".

The movie "Chu Xing's World" was released in North America, and the box office in the first week exceeded 55 million US dollars, and the final box office in North America was as high as more than 150 million US dollars.

And now the movie "Eternal Night" has been released in Europe and the United States for nearly a month, and the box office is only about 70 million US dollars, and the final box office in Europe and the United States is estimated to be about 100 million US dollars, which is no way to compare with "Chu Xing's World"!

After seeing such an analysis, some domestic filmmakers have come forward.

We all know that the North American box office of director Wu Jianye's last film "The World of Chu Xing" was as high as 150 million, and now the movie "Eternal Night" is only 70 million US dollars in Europe and the United States, according to the prediction of North American authorities, the box office of this film in North America is about 60 million US dollars at most, and the European box office is 40 million!"

"I think this should be where Wu Jianye needs to do a review, the more you want to please the audience, the more the movie you make will actually not be accepted by the audience, how good the idea of the last "The World of Chu Xing" is, and it is precisely because of this story structure that the movie "The World of Chu Xing" can achieve such brilliant achievements, and now this "Eternal Night", I only saw the special effects on the full screen, but I didn't see the real story. ”

"The failure of Wu Jianye's "Eternal Night" is that he pays too much attention to the special effects of the movie, as everyone knows, the special effects of the movie should serve the story content of the movie, and I also see that another problem with Wu Jianye's movie is that there are many characters who appear, and there will even be some situations where the priority is not divided in the first half of the movie, these are the problems of this movie, to sum up, although Wu Jianye is now the most acclaimed director in China, but not being able to control the group drama is still one of his weaknesses!"

Although Wu Jianye's influence in China is great, you can't cover the sky with one hand after all, especially some people who don't rely on making movies, but just play lip service, they are naturally not so afraid of Wu Jianye's so-called authority.

In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there has never been a shortage of people who challenge authority, and some people really think that authority is wrong, so they insist on challenging authority in their hearts.

There are also people because, if you want to be famous, the fastest way to become famous is to challenge authority, and when you pick authority off the horse, you are authority.

This is like the media, they like to create gods, but after the success of creating gods, they want to take authority off the horse, and the pleasure of controlling the fate of authority makes them rush to it.

What's more, viewers love watching these too.

The emergence of Wu Jianye not only advanced the core business of the film industry, such as the production and release of films, by several years, but also drove some other peripheral businesses, such as film reviews.

Although there are no professional film critics yet, there are already many professional film professionals who have expressed their opinions on a certain movie in various film magazines.

This is already the job of a film critic.

At the same time, there are also many film magazines and entertainment magazines in China, and it is no longer the time for "Popular Movies" to dominate the world.

"Film Times", "Video Dialogue", "Movie You, Me and Him", ......

A series of film magazines have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and although they cannot challenge the authority of "Popular Film", they have formed a siege.

It's a different story!

At this time, with the release of "Eternal Night" more than halfway through, many movie magazines began to publish their opinions on the movie "Eternal Night".

As I said just now, even if Wu Jianye is the first person in domestic movies at this time, he still can't cover the sky with one hand.

Therefore, many teachers in acting schools, down-and-out filmmakers who have not made movies after graduation, and people who have never been in contact with this industry before, as long as his comments are eye-catching enough, they can still attract the attention of many readers.

These people have become regulars in various film magazines.

Wu Jianye debuted at the peak, and the director's first film "Hang the Red Lantern High" won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.

Since then, he has started his own life, and in his career of more than ten years, he has always been the first person in the domestic film industry, and there is nothing more eye-catching than challenging Wu Jianye's authority!

So when the movie "Eternal Night" appeared, these people seemed to usher in their own carnival, and they published some of their opinions on the movie "Eternal Night" in various magazines!

Now on Wu Jianye's desk, there are not only the box office records of the movie "Eternal Night", but also the opinions of various people published in these film magazines on the movie "Eternal Night".

The tone is better, saying that Wu Jianye's mistake this time does not mean anything, it is just a mistake, after all, anyone can make a mistake.

If the tone is not good, just say directly, Wu Jianye is Jiang Lang's talent, and at the same time, the movie "Eternal Night" has completely exposed one of Wu Jianye's shortcomings, that is, he can't shoot group scenes well......

At the same time, he also said that the fact that the film was not selected for the main competition unit of any film festival is a good proof of this......

For a while, Wu Jianye was subjected to countless suspicions!

"These people are too much, why don't they talk about the box office of this movie!" Li Na said with some grievances.

The box office of the movie "Eternal Night" is still the top in China, and no one can match it.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "The mouth grows on people's faces, you can say whatever you want, leave them alone!"

Li Na said dissatisfiedly: "But if they say this, it will make many people not go to the cinema to watch our movie, if they don't talk nonsense, the box office of our movie can be higher!"

"Well, there's no need to talk nonsense with such people, believe it or not, the more you deal with them, the happier they will be. "Wu Jianye knows the temperament of these people too well, to put it bluntly, they just want you to fight back, the more you fight back, the more hot they are, and the more hot they are, the more money they will make......

As long as you can make money, what a fart is your face!

"You're not angry at all?" Li Na looked at Wu Jianye suspiciously.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Do you look like I'm angry?"

Li Na glanced at Wu Jianye seriously, and then said very firmly: "Like!"

Wu Jianye laughed, Li Na has been with him for a few years, but she knows herself very well, although Wu Jianye said that the more they take care of them, the happier they are, but Wu Jianye has never been a person who has been said by others, and he has to admit them with a smile.

Wu Jianye is now just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance to slap them in the face.

And this opportunity is not too far away, it is coming soon!

At this time, someone came in and reported: "The front and back scenes of "Inception" have arrived and gathered in the conference room!"

Wu Jianye got up and left his office and went directly to the conference room.

Behind the scenes, except for the assistant director Ding Sheng, the others are all old acquaintances, so naturally there is no need to introduce them, and the actors in front of the stage are also all present.

Dream thief Chen Daoshu, dream builder Zhou Gongzi, sentinel Xu Zheng, pretender Duan Yihong, phantom Zhu Xuan, tycoon Jiang Qian, target Huang Xiaochu, pharmacist Liu Yunlong.

There are also a number of other actors.

The whole conference room was almost 20 people!

"I'm very happy, after the New Year, I see that everyone can keep their figure well!" Wu Jianye made a joke, and everyone laughed.

In fact, whether it is a TV crew or a movie crew, they hate the festival very much, one is to increase the cost, and the other is to worry that some actors will not be able to control their mouths during the festival and make their bodies out of shape!

Waiting for everyone to quiet down, Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"This time I gathered everyone, one is to let everyone get familiar with each other, after all, in the next few months, everyone will work together to make a film, and the other is to announce the official start time of the crew!"

"The crew will give a month to familiarize everyone with the script and each other, and a month later, that is, on March 5, the movie "Inception" will be officially launched, and before that, a kick-off ceremony will be held!"

Because of some plots in the movie "Inception", the background of the movie is not placed in China, but in Haojiang.

There is no way, only one of them, about the dream thief Chen Daoshu was sued for killing his wife, and fled overseas, the tycoon Jiang Qian can help him lift these prosecutions with a phone call, it is impossible to put it in China, and one such plot will kill the whole movie.

Wu Jianye's movie is not good!

Regarding this plot background, Wu Jianye does not plan to change it, after all, the element of family affection is a very important element in the movie, and it is one of the elements that can arouse the audience's empathy the most.

So after thinking about it, Wu Jianye decided to place the movie in Haojiang.

As for the one-month preparation time, it is not up to Wu Jianye to decide at will, first of all, the filming locations of the movie "Inception" are located in several countries, and the sets in some of these places also need to be prepared now.

At the same time, the train that appears in the movie also needs to be prepared in advance.

In order to pursue the authenticity of this film, many scenes will choose to shoot in real time, and will not be shot in the studio at all, which is also to be able to provide the audience with a more realistic picture.

At the same time, some actors also have to apply for visas to go abroad, which takes time.

Wu Jianye explained these at this meeting.

Everyone naturally had no opinion when they listened.

Chen Daoshu and Zhu Xuan have both cooperated with Wu Jianye, and they naturally know Wu Jianye's pursuit of filming movies, so they don't feel anything about the shooting plan proposed by Wu Jianye.

It was Xu Zheng and these people who cooperated with Wu Jianye for the first time, they were really surprised in their hearts, they didn't expect that in order to shoot a movie, they would fly to five or six countries with the entire crew, this kind of thing is the first case in China!

When everyone was just familiar with filming in Hengdian, Wu Jianye had already begun to take the crew to overseas filming, which is not a big deal.

However, these young people are still very excited, after all, this is a legitimate opportunity to go abroad, and many of them have not been abroad.

Especially for an actor like Duan Yihong, his family background, even in China, he only went from his hometown to Yanjing, and he has never been to other places, and now he is about to go abroad, thinking about it, there are still some expectations.

"I believe everyone knows the rules of my filming, during the filming, I hope that every actor will show your professional attitude, I don't want to be unprofessional at that time, don't blame me for turning my face and scolding people when the time comes!"

Wu Jianye once again emphasized the discipline of the crew, in fact, Wu Jianye will emphasize his filming discipline every time before starting the film, which has become an iron law during the preparation of every new crew.

And everyone knows the name of the tyrant on the set of Wu Jianye, so when Wu Jianye announced this discipline, everyone took it to heart.

No one is wrong!

Then Wu Jianye announced some things, and then took everyone to the court shooting base in Zhu Xinzhuang, not to shoot, but to let everyone get familiar with each other, and at the same time to familiarize themselves with the plot of the movie before the filming began.

Every day after that, everyone will come here, even the Inception press conference, which is held here.

At the same time, there will be a special car to pick you up every day, which saves everyone from worrying.

A week later, many domestic film magazines and TV stations received notices of the press conference of "Inception"!
