Chapter 0418 - Seeing Love

Before "The Wandering Earth", if you asked which movie could surpass the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", people who are not very knowledgeable will answer "Wolf Warrior 3" - if there is one. Why don't you know how to do it, because a film like "Wolf Warrior 2" is in the right place at the right time, and the possibility of a sequel hitting a new high is very small, and the record of 5.6 billion is not normal at all.

Knowledgeable people may say that Xu Zheng and Shen Cheng are comedies, and they may also say new works with their own characteristics, such as "Chinese Captain" and "The Climber...... But absolutely no one could have imagined that it would be a domestic science fiction film and achieve such a great feat. Later, it fell below the eyes of the ground, which was also expected.

Similarly, after "The Wandering Earth", if you ask which film can threaten its record, no one will guess that this contestant is actually a domestic cartoon! But cartoons, whether Hollywood or domestic, have never won the box office momentum in film history, and the highest animation work before was not the 1.5 billion of "Zootopia", compared to the box office record of 5.7 billion, 1.5 billion is simply a younger brother.

But after "Nezha" set off a frenzy, the media, netizens, and even many people in the industry who "know" had to stare at it with two dogs' eyes wide and watch it ride the dust, 1 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion...... Judging from the curve, it is almost more against the sky than "The Wandering Earth".

Art film box office records, science fiction film box office records, animation box office records!

All three in one.

Ji Ming almost became a god on the ground - the god of the movie box office.

didn't get to that point, I really couldn't feel everyone's enthusiasm for money - in the golden age of Hong Kong City, king-level actors could be forced to film with knives, and it's really not surprising when I think about it now, killing people and setting fires just for money.

"It seems that I really can't film, I can only wait for the release of "Mo". Ji Ming hung up the phone and shook his head with Yang Ruyi and said. With his temper and social circle, in fact, there are not many people who can call him, what kind of rich man or something, he doesn't have to care at all, and these people who are looking for him with money are not rejected once or twice. But even so, during the period of "Nezha's rapid development", he was still forced to answer a lot of phone calls, all kinds of relationships and powers, from the National Theater, from the Film Bureau, from the major bosses, and even the Chinese opera Nortel, the bigwigs in the circle, like encirclement and suppression.

Fortunately, after filming "Silence", he stopped and concentrated on making musicals, the market for musicals is too small, although there are a lot of interests, but it is much easier to deal with - the key pond is small, it has no big fish, Ji Ming himself is the biggest fish, and those princes and princesses of musicals are all small.

Going to take a break.

There are no plans to film for the time being.

If you have a plan, I will definitely look for you.

That's definitely going to be a cooperation, take a break.

A "procrastination trick" can solve a thousand sorrows.

Of course, this is him, if someone else has such an opportunity, like the sect leader, maybe a new giant will emerge in the entertainment industry - but Ji Mingzhi is not here.

Yang Ruyi is also very calm, how many ambitions have been worn out by his boss: "So the box office of "Mo" is there no hope at all?"

"Mo" is aimed at "Immortals", and the box office of "Immortals" of 1.55 billion is far more difficult to break than the 5.7 billion of commercial films, Ji Ming never thought about it. When he made a wish at the box office of "Immortals", he wondered if the koi was broken, and people were going to break it.

Ji Ming glanced at Yang Ruyi and didn't speak.

"Okay, okay, I didn't think about it, but occasionally a little thought came to me involuntarily. Yang Ruyi raised his hands and surrendered, it is not a good thing to be regarded as a fool: "Anyway, the musical is officially on the road, and then you will go to Venice, and after Venice comes back, "Mo" will be released - Beijing Culture still wants to raise the file." ”

“...... Is Mr. Song so impatient?"

Yang Ruyi glanced at him indescribably: "Do you know how popular "Nezha" is?"

"Didn't I make "Immortals" and "The Wandering Earth"?"

“......”

It's the same debt as the kind of author who doesn't say a word and breaks off.

Yang Ruyi cleaned up his mood and opened a web page for him from the reading list - Fox.com, "The box office of "Nezha" broke 3.5 billion, how much can investor Ji Ming share?"

"Look at it. ”

"How do they know that, the light is shining through?"

Yang Ruyi nodded: "I guess so, Mr. Wang may be a little distressed at this time, and it's not surprising that he wants to find something for you." ”

In this article, Ji Ming's interest in about 20% is "deduced", there must be several here, one is that the joint venture company was transferred from the original three investors, and the other is the proportion of Tiancheng culture in the joint venture company, these two figures are actually not easy to find out from the public platform, or do some cover-up.

"The joint venture company of Tiancheng Culture and Light under the name of Ji Ming received 30% of the equity from the original owner, and Tiancheng Culture held 65% of the equity in the joint venture company, which was converted to 19.5% of the equity of Ji Ming. In addition, Tiancheng Culture is one of the 7 co-producers and also owns 0.5% of the equity, so Ji Ming happens to have 20% of the equity in "Nezha", according to rough calculations, with the current total box office of more than 3.5 billion, the producer can get about 1.2 billion, it is not difficult to calculate that Ji Ming occupies one-fifth, that is, 240 million, excluding about 40 million to 50 million investment, even if it is only calculated according to the current box office, Ji Ming will also get more than 200 million profits - this figure has exceeded the number he can get from the box office champion " The income obtained from "The Wandering Earth", it is rumored that Ji Ming's income in The Wandering Earth should be around 120 million.

......

This astonishing investment seems to have dug a piece of meat from the light, but the fact that Ji Ming participated before the release of the movie has added billions of market value to the light in the secondary market - not to mention Ji Ming's substantial contribution to the film's huge success......"

Ji Ming saw this, a little confused, the original wish was only more than 2 billion, and now it is 3.5 billion, how much is it because of him, this is not good, it is really not good, after all, he is already a phenomenal figure, if the volume of "Nezha" originally had three or four billion, then his influence would be limited, if it was only two or three billion in volume, of course, the extra ones were created by him - but these can't be said clearly, after all, it is something that has not happened.

But everyone doesn't care too much, and there is only one word that everyone cares about: "money"!

"Ji Ming is so rich!!"

""Immortals Descent" has to have tens of millions, at least, "The Wandering Earth" is 120 million for him, "Nezha" now has 240 million, the box office is still soaring, and another 60 million is very likely, that is, 300 million-500 million! He has just graduated, and he has 500 million!!"

- "Big brother, you remove other people's capital first." ”

- "Upstairs, he hasn't counted commercial activities yet, what about the income from endorsements, as well as Mingming's share of the trendy brand, and there are other income channels for movies, which are not counted. Ji Ming's money is definitely a lot. ”

Speaking of which, this is still the result of people's restraint, not accepting TV series, not accepting variety shows, not accepting endorsements that do not enter the stream, and not accepting bad movies...... If you calculate it casually, you will lose hundreds of millions of income. ”

"Anyway, I'm really rich!!"

"How do you spend all this money?"

"Buying a house, buying a car, buying a bag, buying jewelry, ......"

- "Wake up, that's not your money! and there's your money there." ”

——“...... is also said, I have watched "Falling to the Immortals", "The Wandering Earth" and "Nezha", and I have watched it several times. Li Ning also bought several pairs of shoes for my husband, and I also bought a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, all of which are my money. ”

- "Buy Li Ning for your husband and Salvatore Ferragamo for yourself, you can, you can live." ”

- "Yes, man, you don't have to wear too nicely. ”

"Some women, who talk about equality, actually want privilege. ”

Gotcha, start to switch to quarrel mode.

But Ji Ming is really rich, everyone knows that celebrities are very rich, especially after a certain star is fined, hundreds of millions, and if he is fined, he will be punished - but after only two or three years of debut, he has accumulated hundreds of millions of assets, especially Ji Ming is also a powerful actor who has devoted himself to the drama stage and movies, which is really not easy to spray.

If you change traffic, you don't need to write a script, "Traffic or poison?" "The money goes to the stars, can there still be good works for the audience?" "Is it too easy for celebrities to make money?" "Is the work of celebrities worthy of their income?" "Chinese football and the Chinese entertainment industry, who should 'cut salary'?"

But Ji Ming, it's not good to spray, it's not easy to touch.

Can Ji Ming be poisoned? So many times CCTV and simulcasts are in vain?

Good works? Ji Ming's most important thing is good works.

It's easy to make money, but it's not a big spray to make money, Uncle Ma can earn hundreds of millions a day, and Second Master Ma has 100 million turnover a day in a game.

Alas, trolls aren't easy to do these days.

However, with such a high traffic and popularity, the media will not let it go, compared to the one-sided public opinion of other hot events. Ji Ming's hot search is varied:

It is said that stars like Ji Ming are not too many but too few, "If there are more Ji Ming in the Chinese entertainment industry, it means that the development of our entertainment industry is not only large in quantity but also high in quality, good works lead to high income of stars, and high income encourages stars to make good works. ”

It is also said that celebrities should avoid circumventing the salary limit order in disguise by investing and obtaining equity.

There are also instructions on how Ji Ming spends money - "You might as well give more support to those young filmmakers who can't get in", "Invest in some sincere works with low commercial value"......

"They all care about my money. Ji Ming sighed and put the pad down: "It's a pity that it's my money." ”

The word "I" has a strong sound.

"It's all your money, but speaking of which, did Lao Huang ask if you wanted to buy a house? Lao Huang is Ji Ming's financial adviser and is responsible for taking care of his money, although the income of "Nezha" has not yet arrived, but the money of "The Wandering Earth" has almost arrived, Ji Ming has about 200 million in his hands, and he can't put it - buying a house is also a hedging operation, although real estate can't soar, but a good target is still very popular.

Lao Huang looked at a villa before, in the West Third Ring Road, the kind that is hard to find, and planned to ask Ji Ming if he wanted to take it, a big star like him, it would actually be much more convenient to live in a well-managed villa.

"I asked, and I asked him to find out. Ji Ming took a folder from Yang Ruyi's hand: "It's also very troublesome to have too much money." These people were all selected by Zhang Jie?"

"Well, I've seen some of them too. Yang Ruyi nodded on the paper: "These few have experience in musical theater creation, and the rest of these young people have no famous works, but the teachers invited are still more optimistic, so they stayed." ”

After returning from London, Ji Ming and Zhang Jie still set a strategy - looking for a needle in a haystack. In terms of music creation, I invited more than a dozen composers and lyrics, most of them are newcomers, both at home and abroad, and a few experienced ones are not famous, and I plan to write a hundred tunes and choose them again. The script adaptation was the same, seven screenwriters were hired to change it from the movie script to the musical version. Only the dance part, which is personally handled by Ji Ming and the dance director, is mainly because the dance in the movie is relatively mature, and the dance itself is a pure stage art, so there is not much room for change and demand, the main job is how to put it in just right, this part, of course, is more suitable for Ji Ming, who is in charge of the overall situation, to do it himself.

Of course, all this work is also involved in the director.

"When will Director Tong join the group?" Ji Ming finished flipping through the documents.

The director of the musical version of "Mo" is Tong Xinyu, a young musical director, but he still has a personality and is not very famous - the directors who make musicals, except for Tian Mingxin, are not very famous. But in the niche range, this director Tong still has some recognition with the "Madhouse" series.

Ji Ming chooses him, or depends on people - Director Tong is a very confident director, especially in the balance of breaking and shaping, neither uncontrollable like a wild horse, nor like a donkey, only playing in circles. This person was introduced by Zhang Jie, and the other party also gave up an important project, which was quite sincere.

“...... He had been working since the day before yesterday. ”

"Oh. Ji Ming sighed: "It sounds like I'm really a boss who doesn't know the suffering of the world." ”

Nodding, Ji Ming exhaled, after preparing for so long, he is finally about to officially get on the right track - it is ten times more difficult than him making a movie, and it is conceivable that there are ten times more difficult waiting for the follow-up song selection and script selection.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, Ji Ming comforted himself, but the voice of the boutique teacher in the world involuntarily continued-everything is difficult at the beginning, then difficult in the middle, difficult to continue, difficult all the time, difficult to the end.

Ji Ming stood up resignedly: "Okay, let's go, it's the last trip, ah?"

Yang Ruyi nodded.

The cover shooting of the Golden September issue of "GQ" has been delayed, and it will be too late if you are not afraid - fortunately, Ji Ming's cover has always been of a very high standard, and the completion rate is also extremely high, and it is well-known in the industry. Otherwise, as the largest men's magazine in China, "GQ" is not without temper, and there are even more goblins in it.

Of course, at the moment of the explosion of "Nezha", Ji Ming, who was almost promoted from a box office blessing to a box office god, no matter how many goblins he "came" to the studio, he had to be kind and kind. When he pushed the door in, everyone looked up, and in an instant, they saw their beloved.
