The movie "Resident Evil", with Prince Lin's 24-hour continuous propaganda, became more and more famous;

Box office on the second day: 98 million in mainland China, $35 million overseas;

On the third day, 110 million in the mainland and 38.5 million US dollars overseas;

On the fourth day, 130 million in the mainland and 29 million US dollars overseas;

......

Seven days, 96 million in the mainland and 12.5 million US dollars overseas;

Cumulatively, the total box office in the first week, the domestic has approached the 1 billion mark, and the overseas box office has exceeded 150 million US dollars, and with a score of 87.3 million US dollars, it has become the runner-up in the North American box office this week;

As soon as the news came out, the entertainment industry was in an uproar; this achievement blinded the titanium alloy eyes of countless people.

The domestic results are good to say, although he has entered the top 20 box office of the Chinese Film History Week, it is not that there is no one better than him in the past two years;

But the key is...... The overseas box office, $150 million, is about to equal the $170 million overseas performance created by Zhang Guoshi's "Haojie" a few years ago;

What's even more exaggerated is that according to the current box office diving rate of 30%, it is appropriate for the overseas box office of this movie to surpass Zhang Guoshi, and the final domestic box office is also likely to impact the TOP10 in Chinese film history;

For a while, countless people paid attention to the director of this movie, some hoped to cooperate, some hoped to hitch a ride;

It's a pity that most people know very little except the name "Six Thousand Afterlives......

..................

"Why does your dad suddenly want to see me? I'm just a little shrimp. ”

In the car, Yang Zhu was a little uncomfortable, he was used to being grassroots, and he was a little unsuitable for the low-key luxury of the Rolls-Royce Phantom;

"I didn't know, but he called me the night before yesterday and asked me to invite you to sit with him, and he was very resolute. Prince Lin sat opposite, constantly rummaging and falling in the small cabinet, and finally stopped with some disappointment.

"So...... I didn't say anything, just let me fly all the way from the imperial capital?" Yang Zhu was a little unhappy, what's the matter, just say it on the phone, make this one, rich people like to play this set.

Prince Lin saw Yang Zhu's unhappiness, and was a little embarrassed: "The old man is a rotten person, what age is it, and he still plays this set on the rivers and lakes, I have been unhappy with him for a long time, and the whole feudal remnant." ”

Yang Zhu looked at him and rolled his eyes: "So you are also a remnant feudal tumor that should be dictatorship?"

"Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart, he is your father after all, and you don't need to help me like this. ”

"Even if he is not the final boss of my boss, he can be regarded as half an elder of mine, so I will come over to pay homage to him in his old age. ”

Lin Tuting pursed his lips: "What do you mean by the final boss of the top and the top of the head? Do you really think that in Dahua Investment, there will be people who treat you as an ordinary little staff?"

Yang Zhu looked like a miserable public: "But I'm just an ordinary little clerk, I've been working for four years, and I haven't been promoted at all, who can be worse than me!?"

Prince Lin rolled his eyes: "Have you ever seen that ordinary junior clerk calling a bunch of middle and high-level managers to work? ”

Yang Zhutian said shamelessly: "That's called the capable person to work harder, you are capable, so do more work, anyway, you get a high salary, and I will waste firewood, I can only come up with some bad ideas indiscriminately." ”

Prince Lin: "......"

..................

Half an hour later, the car drove into a villa area by the Huangpu River and stopped.

Yang Zhu looked at this garden-style single-family villa with a strong British style, and sighed at the decay of the capitalists, so he followed Prince Lin through the small garden and walked into this mansion with an area of 2,000 square meters.

After sitting on the leather sofa with a burp for a while, a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old, with a thin figure and a mustache on his upper lip, walked down the stairs, which was his titular final boss, Prince Lin's class enemy-Lin Xiong.

"This is Yang Zhu, right?" Lin Xiong sat down and bowed slightly at Yang Zhu.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. Yang Zhu showed a wooden smile, like a simple young man.

Mr. Lin?...... It seems that you are still a little dissatisfied with me for calling you all the way over. Lin Xiong smiled.

"Uh...... Don't dare, don't dare!Then I'll call you Uncle Lin?" Yang Zhu showed some embarrassed expressions.

"Haha, that's right, you and Lin Tu are friends, calling you uncle is not a grievance!" Lin Xiong looked at Yang Zhu as if he was looking at a real junior.

Yang Zhu was a little creepy, an old fox of this level showed such intimacy to himself who he had never met, and there were probably many pits waiting for him to jump.

So he smiled shyly, and he really held a glass of water and took a sip from time to time, but he didn't speak.

After half a minute, Lin Xiong saw Yang Zhu drinking water without saying a word, like a cramped and restless child;

This little slippery head!

"Yang Zhu, I heard that you like to drink tea very much?" Lin Xiong asked with a smile.

"Young, purely out of curiosity, just drinking blindly, made my uncle laugh. Yang Zhu smiled embarrassedly.

"Hehe, you, it's not a good thing for young people to be too modest!" Lin Xiong laughed and nodded Yang Zhu with his hand, meaning something in his words.

"Your Aunt Suhua talked to me and said that your tea-making skills are very good,"

"Let's go, I heard that you like to drink Shengpu, I have half a jar of Bangdong upstairs, Lulu Craft Go!"

After speaking, Lin Xiong stood up and took the lead in walking upstairs, not giving Yang Zhu a chance to refuse at all.

Your sister, there is a pit waiting for me, look at this posture, it's not a small pit!

Yang Zhu looked at Lin Tu's back with some unhappiness, sighed silently, and stood up.

Slowly followed up the stairs, Yang Zhu's mind turned sharply, what was Lin Xiong looking for himself, or did he have to find an excuse to talk to him alone?

It's a big hit in the movie, so I want to give Corporal Lixian a look to show that he attaches importance to his little shrimp?

No, he still has a strong attitude, not quite like Corporal Lixian.

Are you unhappy that you are calling Prince Lin around like a dog, so be on guard?

It's not quite like it, you don't need to see yourself in person for this kind of thing.

With a doubt, Lin Xiong took Yang Zhu to a minimalist semi-open-air tea table, motioned for him to sit at the tea table, and then took out a thin black clay pot and placed it on the tea seat.

Yang Zhu looked at this obviously island-style tea room, and his mouth was curled, you are really going hand in hand.

The so-called banquet is not a good feast, since he can't escape this experience, Yang Zhu doesn't bother to care about any etiquette or etiquette, he sits cross-legged on the soft cushion, and casually clips a few pieces of olive charcoal and puts them in the small red clay stove on high legs.

Then he picked up the fine pine root in the wooden box next to him, lit it with a match, threw it in the red clay oven, and continued to add seven or eight pieces of olive charcoal.

Then he lifted the black cast-iron lid, scooped a few spoonfuls of water into the stoneware urn on his side with a bamboo spoon, and when the body was seven minutes full, he closed the lid and put it on the charcoal fire, which had begun to redden.

"Looks like you're a pretty tasteful person, too. Lin Xiong looked at the familiar Yang Zhu with some surprise, and he still wanted to see the joke.

"Hehe, Uncle Lin called me over today, I don't know what advice?" Since he was going to talk about it, Yang Zhu was too lazy to continue to pretend to be a child, he was tired.

Looking at Yang Zhu, who looked like a bit of a lazy monster, Lin Xiong smiled, by the way, this is the real young man in the information.

"Do you know, whether it's this movie or the last movie, how much trouble I have blocked for you??" Lin Xiong's face was straight, and there was a little rebuke in his tone.

"Oh, what's the trouble? The Radio and Television Bureau's or peers?" Yang Zhu looked unimpressed, this kind of city favor method of suppressing first and then promoting, he has seen too much in another world.

"Naturally, it's from the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, do you know that many of the contents of your movies have been wiped out?"

"If I hadn't asked someone to come forward, would you think your movies would have passed the review?" Lin Xiong's tone was a little heavier.

Yang Zhu was a little unimpressed: "Of course I know that it's rubbed off, isn't this clear when the project is established?"

"If you want to stand out in a bunch of blockbusters, the less similar themes the better, and there are risks to be rewarded,"

"No, in order to ensure the return on investment, I combined it with Lin Tu and made a bold one. ”

"Besides, what kind of strength do we have to invest in Dahua, isn't it easy to get these things done?"

"It's just that I didn't expect that a small project in the Imperial Capital Branch would even alarm your old man, and the little nephew was a little ashamed. ”

Lin Xiong's brows furrowed slightly, this kid was clearly saying that these movies were Dahua's own investment projects, and they were also made to earn prestige for Prince Lin, and it was a matter of course for him to wipe his ass as a father;

I picked myself clean inside and out, and I didn't plan to admit my feelings at all.

At the end, I sarcastically said to myself, as if to say: Dahua Investment is nothing more than that, and you still need to be the final boss to settle such a thing.

Seeing that this kid was slippery like a loach, Lin Xiong estimated that his plan to be in the city was about to fail, and after being a little unhappy, he put it down, Sima Suhua said that this kid is a thief, and he really didn't lie to me.

"Hehe, escorting the younger generations is what our elders should do, I won't mention this, I just want to tell you that it is better to be cautious in doing things in the future. Lin Xiong showed a caring expression again.

"What Uncle Lin said is that I will pay attention to it in the future. Yang Zhu got off the donkey downhill and bypassed the topic.

"Well, I heard that your current movie results are very good!" Lin Xiong changed the subject.

"Uh...... It should be okay, it is estimated that the domestic box office should be about 1.1 billion now, and it should be 160 million US dollars abroad, right?" Yang Zhu didn't pay much attention to the specific box office in the past two days, opened the tea can, took out the fat dry tea, and tasted it carefully.

"The domestic box office is 1.263 billion and the foreign box office is 181 million US dollars...... Your own movie, why is it so unreasonable?" Lin Xiong looked sad.

"Oh, it's so much more than expected? It doesn't matter, anyway, if you don't lose money, I don't have any ambitions, as long as the project department fails, Lin Tu won't be scolded." Yang Zhu carefully took out 2 sticks of dry tea from the electronic scale, huh...... 8 grams, just right.

Lin Xiong held his breath in his chest, why didn't this guy play his cards according to reason?

"Hehe, it is rare to have achieved such great results at such a young age, but he is not arrogant or impatient. Lin Xiong chatted awkwardly.

"What's next, what are your plans?Do you plan to make a sequel this year?" Lin Xiong looked at the time, didn't bother to go around, and began to plan to go straight in.

"Oh...... The sequel to this movie should be established this year, but whether it starts depends on whether it is available this year. After Yang Zhu put the dry tea into the tea bowl, he stared at the cast iron kettle and did not move, the water was about to boil, so he had to stare at it.

"Does that mean you have other shooting plans this year?, what kind of theme, and what is the investment budget?" Lin Xiong asked.

"Oh, Xianxia theme, budget...... About 500 million. ”

Three hundred and twenty-one, OK! Yang Zhu quickly lifted the cast iron kettle down, poured a circle of dry tea steadily, and then stopped in one place and poured water along the wall of the bowl.

"500 million...... This investment is a bit big, isn't it? Are you sure to return to your original cost?" Lin Xiong was a little suspicious that Yang Zhu was a little floating, and he invested 500 million at once, and it was still a fairy tale theme, even if he didn't know much about the film and television industry, he knew that this kind of theme basically had no audience base overseas.

"It's back to basics, it should be reluctant, but it doesn't matter, this movie is just intended to praise people, not to make any money. Yang Zhu poured out the first tea soup, picked up the bowl lid and waved it, approaching his nose, and a mushroom fragrance came to his nose.

Lin Xiong's face was a little ugly, he invested 500 million, without considering the return on investment, but just to support a person, which was an unforgivable sin for him: "This kind of project is ...... It's enough to escalate to the board, and even if I nod my head, the other shareholders of UOB are unlikely to agree. ”

"However, since ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yang Zhu and said in surprise: "This project is not planned to be invested in Dahua!"

Lin Xiong's face changed slightly, could it be that this kid is planning to fly solo? Or has he already found his next home?

"Oh, can you tell my uncle, since you are not in Dahua Investment Project, where did you get the funds for this project?" Lin Xiong's tone fluttered.

"Oh, it's my apprentice Liu Feifei and her mother begging me to tailor a movie for Feifei, and she will get all the funds and channels herself. Yang Zhu brewed the second brew, gave a cup of tea to Lin Xiong, and then picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip;

Well...... Sure enough, it is worthy of the name of "monosodium glutamate", this tea is so sweet.

"Is it her!?" Lin Xiong's face changed, this woman he knew was relatively low-key, but she was good at dancing with long sleeves, and the energy behind her was really not to be underestimated.

But...... With her inserting a lever in the middle, not to mention the delay in the time of her plan, it is difficult to say that there will be some changes that you don't want to see, after all, in terms of relationship, the relationship between others is one layer closer than yourself.

On a cold day, after taking a sip of tea, Yang Zhu's mood became much better, looking at Lin Xiong's slightly flickering eyes, he was a little amused, but he didn't bother to continue to go around the bend.

"Uncle Lin, if you have anything, just say it directly, and you are tired and tired of panicking. ”

Lin Xiong laughed, covering up a little embarrassment, he could see that this kid was slippery and tight, and it was better to go straight than to continue to rub it.

"That's right, there are two main reasons for calling you here this time. ”

"First of all, you also know that we at Dahua Investment have inextricable relationships with other capital and institutions in China, and in a sense, we are a relatively entangled and fighting community of interests,"

"So what...... Some cakes should be shared. ”

"The "Resident Evil" you filmed, even if the final box office has not come out, but with the current results alone, the return on investment can be described as amazing, so ......"

Yang Zhu said a little indifferently: "Isn't it that someone plans to follow up on the sequel, as long as I guarantee my absolute right to speak in the crew, and the rest of Uncle Lin will think about it yourself." ”

Lin Xiong breathed a sigh of relief slightly, he didn't expect Yang Zhu to agree so simply, you know, under the operation of many unspoken rules, Yang Zhu, the director, has countless tangible and intangible benefits, and listening to him, as long as he retains the absolute right to speak in the casting, shooting and editing of the starring role, in advance without affecting the quality of the movie, the rest can be used for PY transactions, under the premise that the sequel to "Resident Evil" will inevitably become popular, this favor cannot be considered small.

"Hehe, of course, if you can't even guarantee your absolute right to speak in the crew, who would dare to take money to go to waste?" Lin Xiong's words are sincere, in Huaxia, where the director center system, the director is one of the determining factors for the quality of the film.

"Second...... That's a long story. ”

"You yourself are half an old man in the investment industry, and you should know that our country's supervision of capital is getting stricter and stricter. ”

Yang Zhu nodded, in the eyes of ordinary people, capital in all fields of China is making waves, as if it will become the second in the United States in a few days, but in fact, this is not the case at all.

"Just two years ago, several departments jointly convened a meeting with us, a company with a little bit of leadership in the capital world;"

"Basically speaking, we hope that we will focus on the direction of investment in transportation, hydropower, new energy, e-commerce, communications, biopharmaceuticals, cultural exports and other fields."

"The implication is that in the past, traditional fields such as real estate, stock market, and futures had to draw red lines and be handcuffed;"

"As you know, these are areas with long investment cycles, high risks, and relatively low return on investment, if you suddenly give up the original dividend areas and go all out to invest in these projects, I am afraid that in less than two years, Dahua Investment will fall apart, after all, investors only stare at the statements. ”

Yang Zhu nodded again, Naxi and the so-called investor is what kind of virtue, he knows very well.

"And after more than a year of continuous experimentation, we have found a rule with elasticity,"

"That is, these domestic investment institutions, how much you have contributed to the areas supported by these countries, the state will appropriately relax some control in the original dividend areas, as long as you do not step on the policy red line, the state will acquiesce to your blood. ”

"Perhaps the state has also taken into account the practical difficulties of our institutions;"

"So, a lot of old guys have started to focus on biopharmaceuticals and e-commerce and entertainment, and they believe that with the continuous improvement of people's living standards and changes in living habits, as well as the imminent peak of China's aging population, these two areas will soon reap huge returns. ”

"But...... I don't know the bottom of my heart, I just know that the place where hot money pours in the fastest is the place where it collapses the fastest;"

Yang Zhu looked at him with some surprise, his own plastic uncle had a very keen sense!

"However, when the policy is at the head, I can't do nothing, so since two years ago, I have begun to increase investment in the entertainment industry, whether it is records, variety shows, television, and movies, I have also invested a lot. ”

"But I found that the shackles on our Dahua investment have not been loosened, and I have also wavered, planning to simply withdraw the funds and follow the old guys to invest in e-commerce, after all, after investing in this piece, the policy is more relaxed;"

"Until the day before yesterday, a leader suddenly gave me a phone call, I was flattered, he only said a few words on the phone, in short, it was to praise our Dahua Investment for doing a good job, to fight for Huaxia Film, and then to hint that I continue to go on like this. ”

"I thought about it for a long time, and then it dawned on me that the focus of the original policy on [cultural output] is the word "output". ”

"So I called you here this time, just hoping that we can reach a consensus of opinion, I hope that your future films can develop internationally, as long as you can achieve enough influence, you are not afraid of losing money!"

After all, there are only three or five people in China who can make movies out, and one or two of them go out by satisfying the unscrupulous impression of Westerners about China, and you are the only director I know and hope to continue to go out. ”

"Hmm...... After all, just for this "Resident Evil", you have a certain degree of popularity abroad, and you already have a good foundation for development in a country where capital recognizes money but not people. ”

"Of course, in this process, there are some old fellows who also want to get in the car, and there will inevitably be some dirty in the middle, but you can rest assured, I will never treat you badly, in a sense, you have also formed a community of interests with us. ”

"We provide enough money and resources for you to use your talents as you please, and win enough glory and money;"

"As for us, it is through the political capital that you continue to win for us to gain enough time to recuperate, so as to get a respite. ”

"Of course, the premise is that you can not leave Dahua Investment for the sake of your colleagues who have been with you for 4 years, and for the sake of your uncle, Lin Tu, and Dye'er;"

"I won't hide it from you, Liu XX, that woman, has a lot of energy, at least not weaker than the strength of the entire Dahua Investment, but after all, she doesn't have much experience in controlling projects, and the middle and low-level connections are her shortcomings;"

"So, if she is willing to cooperate with you at that time, or simply poach you in the past, I hope you will think it through;"

"Hmm...... Take 10,000 steps back and say that if you really leave Dahua Investment and follow that woman, I also hope that you can give priority to our capital injection and let us get on the bus for the sake of the relationship. ”

Looking at Lin Xiong's expression, Yang Zhu pinched the teacup and pondered;

What Lin Xiong said should not be a lie, it turned out that he was in a hurry to find himself, it was such a thing,

But...... I'm afraid that the above constraints on these capital institutions are far more important than what he said, right?

Otherwise, according to the heart of this old fox, he would not have lost his temper so much.

However, this old fox shamelessly used the Lintu brothers and sisters and Guo Dan and other acquaintances to card himself......

After a while, Yang Zhu raised his head and poured him a cup of tea: "I heard that you often drench the blood of the dog that Lin Tu scolds?"

The old fox looked upright: "How is it possible? I have always treated him like a spring breeze." ”

Yang Zhu smiled: "I heard that you are very opposed to Lin Tu and Lin Keran acting in the movie, do you think it is insulting?"

The old fox gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile: "How is it possible? I really hope to see them on the screen!"

Yang Zhu smiled very happily: "Uncle Lin, I heard that you have a jar of Icelandic mother trees in your collection?"

The old fox breathed a sigh of relief,

And then

My heart hurts, it hurts a lot......
