It's all the sound of money.

It is said that after "People in Embarrassment in Thailand" swiped more than 1.2 billion box office, some investors held money to find Xu Zheng to film, wrote blank checks to him, and even gave him half of the rights and interests as long as he acted and directed, without paying a penny.

This was the crazy film investment of the time.

Now, of course, it is no longer the pomp and circumstance of the past, and the water level has dropped a lot. But there are definitely a lot of gambling companies, just like Lian Haicheng's Longcheng Film and Television, why did it fall to the point where it is today, in addition to the rigidity of the operation of the old film and television companies, it is superstitious and explosive, which leads to the whole investment being completely irrational, and then losing again and again, losing to pledge equity, pledge equipment, sell houses and collectibles, until the whole company is in danger.

Even though it's been 6 years later, the 1.2 billion for comedy films and the 1.5 billion for art films are not the same.

said that Ji Ming at this time was Xu Zheng of the year, perhaps because he was not a director or screenwriter, he was slightly inferior, but as an actor alone, his attractiveness even surpassed Xu Zheng - after all, Ji Ming has traces to follow, he is the top of the top, he is the most powerful of the powerful, and he is the chosen son of unparalleled luck...... The entertainment industry is about luck.

For example, when Huang Bo achieved 5 billion actors, he was almost close to the position of the first person in the entertainment industry.

Another example is Wu Jin's "Wolf Warrior 2", which jumped from a lonely action star to a leading big brother, all kinds of honors and various representative meanings.

This is the same force of heaven and earth!

So Ji Ming said the meaning of a new movie, no matter what kind of movie it is, Penguin Films, Xitian Films, and Beijing Culture, these three can almost make a decision to invest without reading the script - to put it mildly, just rely on "Immortals", Ji Ming's new movie may have advantages in film scheduling, and in terms of everyone's optimism, it is worth investing.

How hard it is now.

If one is not careful, it will not be released, and it will die there. Ji Ming, the national fire safety ambassador, the pillar of the national drama unit, is like going home on CCTV, and has been named as a positive example by "Renri" and "Guangming Daily" many times, there is no safer actor than him, not to mention, this actor also has such a strong box office luck and award luck.

This kind of investment opportunity, the entire entertainment industry can't find a hand.

You said that the new film of the national teacher, the older generation does not pursue the box office, and they can't pursue it.

You said that Xiao Paoer's New Year's card is not done.

Count them, Xu Zheng's "Embarrassment Series" is counted as one, Wu Jin's new film is counted as one, and Lin Chaoxian's main theme action can also be counted as one, after all, "Operation Mekong" and "Operation Red Sea" are quite awesome, not to mention that it is also a movie of the "Wolf Warrior 2" type, and then Chen Sichen's "Tang Detective" series, and Shen Cheng's twist comedy can also be counted as most of the ...... Others, not anymore.

There are so many food grabbers, just such a good opportunity.

Who can give up?

The important thing is to look at Xu Zheng's commercial value today, if Ji Ming has this fate, how valuable is it to maintain close cooperation with him? Especially for a listed company like Beijing Culture, the response of the secondary market is immediate. Today, in a piece of greenery, the price limit of Beijing culture is like a candle in the dark.

Vice President Liu couldn't wait to pull Ji Ming out of the toilet - it was to pull him out of the toilet, not to help Ji Ming pull out something......

He looked at Mr. Zhang of Xitian Film and Television, this is half of Ji Ming's own person, and Wang Juan of Penguin also looked at Mr. Zhang.

"Mr. Zhang, don't you want to eat alone this time, do you? ”

Mr. Zhang looked embarrassed: "I don't know about this yet." ”

Swish.

He simply thought that it was the king eight calves in front of him who turned on the high beams, or the two king eight calves turned on together.

It's too bright.

Kita didn't know about it yet.

Then today they will have the opportunity to contact Ji Ming before that, and when the time comes, if they want to get rid of them, they will have to make a feud, and they can always take advantage of it, ha.

After Mr. Zhang finished saying that, he reacted, at this time, he should have smiled incomprehensibly, nodded, and said that he would study and study again, and the cooperation was very pleasant, and of course he would continue to cooperate if he had the opportunity - even if he really wanted to cooperate, this condition was easy to say, and Xitian could occupy a greater advantage.

At no time did he realize more than at this moment that Ji Ming admired the significance of Xitian - more Zhou Xiyan's great decision.

Just the net profit of "Falling to the Immortals" can completely pull Xitian out of the quagmire of popular artists who have accidents one by one - a brokerage company that can make more than 100 million profits, and which investor dares to be crooked.

As the head of Xitian Film and Television, he will also gain the status and power second only to Zhou Xiyan within Xitian.

Yes!

Ji Ming couldn't imagine that when he went to the toilet and delayed a little time, the three bosses had already turned around how many thoughts, and they could only say that money was a bastard, and those who didn't have money were even bastards.

When he came back at the right time, he was already about to enter the theater.

glanced at Yang Ruyi, nodded, and rushed into the theater, the movie hall, which was still dim after the lights were turned on, began to light up the flashing lights, and cheers - the director was not here today, a few bosses came, and the rest was Ji Ming.

There is no doubt that Ji Ming will be the only hot spot.

"emm, thank you very much for watching "Immortals", I don't know if you are asleep watching it, haha. Ji Ming made a little joke: " In fact, when I acted, I was very excited, many scenes were filmed in full swing, and after filming, the whole person felt hollowed out, so if there are fans and friends who can watch it, they should be able to feel my mood at that time, and I am also very much looking forward to having such a divine friendship, let's exchange some ideas, some spirits, one understanding, some thinking across the big screen, I think this is me as an actor, you as a moviegoer, we can get the best and highest level of enjoyment for each other.

I don't know if anyone will be able to see it, but if not, then I hope that-

Ahh

Hahaha, yes, that's right, if you don't feel it, I hope you can come and watch it a few more times, hahaha. The friend who said the second brush, don't leave later, I'll ask my assistant to send you some gifts, and you can take it as a childcare, okay?"

"No, just take a picture. ”

Ji Ming laughed a few times: "It's okay to take a group photo, right? Come on, come on, you come down now." ”

The sky exclaimed.

It's all envy.

In fact, the movie tickets for the post-screening meeting will be sold at a high price, Ji Ming felt that this was too much, so when he chose the movie theater, he didn't say which hall to come to, and only notified half a day in advance, and gave a time to arrange, security and the like.

So there are actually very few fans of him at the scene, and he probably looks excited enough to the fan level, just three or five groups, seven or eight people.

They are the ones who scream the most at this time.

The nursery is a man, I don't know why I want to take a photo so much, after coming up, I asked the staff to take his mobile phone, took a photo together, and recorded a small video - he said that he wanted to post Tik Tok.

Oh~~ This is very smart, Douyin is Ji Ming's base camp, he wants to take this exclusive video and get 300,000 likes, it is not a problem.

Most of the time is communication, the host asks about the interesting things about filming, and the rest is to communicate with the audience.

The first question is that it was thrown at several bosses.

"I want to ask, how much is the investment in "Immortals"? Is it true that it says 20 million on the Internet? Can Ji Ming's salary be revealed?

"Are you a reporter?" Ji Ming still held the microphone in his hand and asked casually.

People are either or love gossip.

Ji Ming gave the microphone to Mr. Zhang of Xitian Film and Television.

"Haha, this investment and remuneration are all trade secrets-"

Hey~~

"Well, but someone asked me today, I can also briefly say that Xitian is very satisfied with the box office of "Immortals", and we also think that this will bring considerable returns to the company, Ji Ming, as the company's customer artist, we trust him very much and attach great importance to him, thank you. ”

didn't say anything, but the current cumulative real-time box office is nearly 200 million, which can be said to be very satisfied, obviously the investment in "Immortals", even if it is not as economical as the 20 million as said, at most it will not exceed 50 million, otherwise it should be too early to talk about satisfaction - it is more likely that yesterday's box office has been enough to recover the cost, that is, the investment does not exceed 33 million.

That's a lot of money!

The second question was finally given to Ji Ming, and I have to say that the host was able to pick out the money gossip from a group of people who asked Ji Ming, and it was also a skill.

"Ji Ming, I want to ask you, it is this time that "Immortals" not only brought you the Cannes Special Performance Award, but also such good box office results, especially since it is also a literary film. And then you were also shortlisted for the Montreal International Film Festival, I want to ask, will you go to Montreal? So do you have any confidence in the actor? If you take it, you will be the first A-category film festival actor among the post-90s and even post-80s. ”

Ji Ming smiled for a while.

"You've got you all sorted out for me? Oh, I'm a little weak-hearted. Then let's talk about it first, the Cannes award is called the Special Performance Award, not the Performance Award, because Cannes is divided into sizes, so we can't scream indiscriminately. The second one I will go to Montreal, because of today's work, so I can't leave for the time being, but I will still go, because it is also a great affirmation, I hope to have the opportunity to participate, and after all, it is North America, the closest international film festival to Hollywood, I want to go to see, the scenery next to the movie highland. As for the actor, let it be, if you can take it, you can take it, if you can't take it, you can work hard, you can't grab it, everyone has a gun. ”

Hahaha.

"I want to ask, that is, "Immortals" and "European Raiders" were released at the same time, and the word-of-mouth is polarized. On Douban, "Encountering Immortals" already has a score of 8.3, while "European Raiders" is just the opposite, with only 3.8 points, which is also a movie with top traffic participation, what do you think?"

What an insidious question.

Yang Ruyi glanced at Ji Ming, if he signaled, she would block the problem, and that's how the agent used it.

"We don't comment on other movies, this is the right of the audience. As for traffic, it is a matter of concern in itself, and it has nothing to do with anything else, and I also know that including my own, the fans of these so-called traffic stars will do some public welfare activities and the like, I think this is a good way to use traffic and inspire everyone to do good. So I don't think it's necessary to be so hostile to traffic, just to say that the whole society should form a joint force, that is, how to guide these flows to play a role in a good direction, to resent, to condemn, to destroy something, it is relatively easy, but to build some, harmonious, and achieve some, it is more difficult, but even if it is difficult, we still have to do it together, after all, we were born and grew up in Si, love here, and hope that he will become better, thank you. ”

This is also the first time that Ji Ming has responded to "traffic" seriously, and it is also an opportunity - on the one hand, if there is traffic success, he seems to be a little pretending, and if there is traffic suffering, he is a little bit of a cool word, so now it is a good opportunity to talk about traffic success and failure.

Everyone's applause also shows that at least they think he is right.

The problems of "Night" are also bound to come.

This time, Ji Ming threw it directly to Vice President Liu, and Vice President Liu said a few words that were not painful or itchy, and it was over.

Later, there was still a big piece of discussing the movie. I have to say that Ji Ming muttered a little about the audience's aesthetics, they did see a lot of things, and I don't know if they were picked from other film critics, but they still have the right thing to ask.

For example, someone asked, "Is it a metaphor for the mountain peak to descend from the immortals, every time Li Yuan stands up, does it mean to reshape his soul again, and when he meets the immortals, he actually meets himself." ”

Of course, this is an arrangement.

Every time he ascended to the Immortal Descent, it was a moment of major change in Li Yuan's mentality.

"In addition, I think the director may like the scenery over there very much, because it is really very good, it is in the river, everyone has the opportunity to travel, on one side is Dong Village, the smoke is curling, and then the mountains and rivers are beautiful, on the other side is the mountains, the fog is deep, unfathomable, you stand there, it is very kind of The dangerous building is 100 feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands', uh, it is the meaning of asking the heart, because the world is so big, how small we are, why let go of our hearts, to embrace to understand and tolerate, to others, but also to ourselves.

Therefore, it is actually a place with the right time and place, there are internal factors, and there are also external factors, which is a very important image and scene in the movie. ”

Ji Ming's understanding of movies, of course, is rarely comparable, "Immortals" is not the kind of movie that needs to be guessed in "Life of Pi", what can be said, Ji Ming is willing to explore, discuss, and know what the general, real ordinary audience, what their perspective is like.

After all, he wants to make a new film next, and he still wants to hear the voice of the market.

The atmosphere of the discussion was very good, and no one mentioned "European Raiders" and "Night" anymore, and everyone discussed enthusiastically around "Immortals" in and out of the play, and they were full of interest. Ji Ming also rarely showed his talkative side in front of the public and reporters, and what he said today is probably quite a lot.

So much so that Penguin News specially issued a draft for this: "Ji Ming rarely had a long talk, and the audience was hooked on the post-screening meeting of "Immortals". ”

Furthermore.

"Ji Ming talked about traffic for the first time, and he should be less malicious and more guided. ”

Ji Ming responded to whether he was a traffic: If I have it, then I am. ”

Avoiding talking about "Night", after the battle of art films won a big victory, Ji Ming refused to fall into the ground. ”

"The origin of the title of the film, as well as its true meaning, Ji Ming personally interpreted. ”

This post-screening meeting still maintained a considerable heat, and it also helped this heat gradually shift from excitement to discussion of the movie, and really began to pay attention to what the film expresses - the anxiety of young people is actually something that can resonate. But the setting of the ancient poem of "Encountering Immortals" was a little cocooned and self-bound before, which made people have an additional sense of distance, through the fermentation of these two days, coupled with Ji Ming's interpretation of the movie, the popularity rushed, which can be regarded as bringing this theme into the hearts of netizens.

Of course, what is more remarkable is this.

The second day of the Qixi Festival, the number of the box office on Saturday.

"Night" only received more than 14 million yuan with 13 percentage points, with a cumulative box office of 154 million. The 11-point film schedule of "European Raiders" is only less than 8 million, and the cumulative box office is a little more than 60 million, and with the number of films scheduled at 33 points, the Golden Age is as high as 37% The leading "Immortals" will break 200 million on the next day after breaking 100 million on the first day, with a cumulative box office of 300 million and 7.32 million, and at the same time, the single-day box office record of pure art films has been raised to an unforgettable level.

On the last day of the first week, "Night" on Sunday ushered in a dive again, with less than 5 million in a single day, and "European Raiders" less than 3 million, and the box office potential of the two films can already be seen. "Night" has already dreamed of breaking 200 million, and there is a high probability that it will not be able to break the 170 million mark. And "European Raiders" will be destined to end with more than 60 million.

The film schedule of "Immortals" continued to grow significantly, but it still fell on Sunday, with a single-day collection of 180 million, one step away from 500 million.

After ushering in the second week, there were no particularly strong competitors in the first five days, "Encountering Immortals" was finally pulled down by the ceiling of art films the next Monday, after breaking 100 million for three consecutive days, it fell by 50%, leaving less than 90 million, falling to more than 70 million the next day, returning to more than 140 million on Wednesday, and approaching 90 million on Thursday, raising the box office to 900 million, and being hit by the release of four new films on Friday, including "Children of Jianghu" and Guo Sad's "Sadness Flows Into a River" - The single-day box office fell to 60 million, but it still ranked first, and "Children of Jianghu" failed to gain popularity, which made "Immortals" even more extraordinary.

By the next week, the box office had accumulated to 1.2 billion.

Entering the third week, the true fatigue of art films was fully revealed, the market continued to bottom out, and at the end of the third week, "Immortals" touched the door of 1.4 billion. As a result, in the fourth week, it regressed to show the tenacity of art films, even if it fell below 10 million on Tuesday, it still got 100 million for the whole week, and finally landed on the box office figure of 1.547 billion very accurately.

"Movie Box Office" said: "The 1.55 billion of "Falling to Immortals" will be a box office record that is far more difficult to surpass than the 5.6 billion of "Wolf Warrior 2", which belongs to pure art films. ”

And Ji Ming, leaving behind the bigwigs who wanted to talk to him about the new movie in detail from the post-screening meeting, flew to Montreal with Lin Ran, Tang Fan and others - and then on the other side of the ocean, listening to the good news at the box office and the battle news from Comrade Yang Haiyan.

"The culture of the capital has been shaken. ”

Ha!

In front of Ji Ming, on the wide and sparkling St. Lawrence River, a waterfowl was like a sharp arrow skimming the water, flying at the touch of a button, and instantly disappeared into the distance, wandering wantonly in the vast world, so unhappy.
