In May, the film market is basically decided.

Ms. Zhao's "To Youth" was unbeatable, brushing down more than 700 million, and "Partners of the Heavenly Dynasty" followed closely behind, taking more than 500 million at the box office.

Before that, there were also "The Imperial Capital Meets Seattle" and "Breaking Up Contract" which performed quite well at the box office.

At the beginning of the year, Xu Zheng also seriously analyzed that it was an abnormal thing for "Thai Embarrassment" to break 500 million.

However, after only a few months, it is no longer uncommon for domestic films to break 500 million, and it has become a common thing for the box office to break 100 million.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for the entire domestic film, and almost all people in the industry can profit from it.

Even independent films such as "Heart Labyrinth" have earned 15 million at the box office, and word of mouth continues to ferment in first- and second-tier cities.

In contrast, Director Mao's "Pen Fairy Collides with Disc Immortal" is a bit strange, the box office actually exceeded 100 million, but there is very little discussion about this movie on the Internet.

Douban has a score of 2.4, and there are about hundreds of comments at the bottom, almost all of which are bad.

Netizens who have always liked to tear apart actually reached an agreement under this movie.

"There is no worst, only worse. ”

"The lowest score of the Douban movie was born?"

The director once again refreshed the lower limit of domestic films. ”

"I'll give you another 6 of my pots and pans, and you can give me another eight immortals to cross the sea." ”

“......”

Zhou Jin had expected such an evaluation, but where did the more than 100 million box office come from?

Is it because theaters are expanding rapidly in third- and fourth-tier cities, where audiences have not yet taken the right to speak online?

That night, after returning to the hotel after work, Zhou Jin didn't have time to talk to Liu Sisi on the phone, and Director Mao called.

"Hey, congratulations, it's a big box office hit. ”

Director Mao was silent at the other end, and his voice was hoarse: "You don't have to perfunctory me, I just want to ask you, is my movie really that bad?!"

Zhou Jin was also silent, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Nonsense, of course it's true!"

"Well, it's very bad, very bad," Zhou Jin said mercilessly: "Although good movies will have bad reviews, but all movies with bad reviews must be bad movies." ”

"Damn, I know that!" Director Mao was quite emotionally unstable over there.

Zhou Jin was relieved: "Don't be too depressed, isn't your box office okay." ”

"It's a fart," Director Mao scolded: "Do you know how much money they give me? I dare to report a million accounts in one shot, saying that it is 30 million investments, and I don't even use one-tenth of it!"

"The box office is also ......" Zhou Jin understood halfway through the question.

Some people regard movies as their lives and dreams, some people regard movies as their jobs, and some people only regard movies as big ponds.

But Zhou Jin didn't expect that Director Mao would get involved in this kind of thing.

If you change someone else, it is estimated that you will be a little unhappy at most if you take money to do things, but Director Mao is different.

He really believes that he can make a good movie......

"Then you, what are your plans?" Zhou Jin asked.

To be able to use movies as a pond, there must be a whole system behind it, from pre-production, mid-term distribution, and post-theatrical release, all aspects must be involved.

People with this kind of energy, where can they mess with.

Of course, Director Mao also knows this.

What's more, he participated in it, and the benefits were not less, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is to blame.

"I'm not a director anymore, I'm not a director anymore," Director Mao said, sounding a little discouraged.

Zhou Jin comforted: "Actually, there are so many directors who make bad movies, and there are not many of you, don't be too sad, maybe there are even worse ones......"

Director Mao smiled bitterly, "If I let you tell the truth, you can just say yes, you won't be afraid to stab me to death." ”

"Aren't you dead? ”

"Also, I didn't take less of the director's fee, and I will also be a big director with a box office of over 100 million in the future, but it's too embarrassing...... How about you say I opened a hot pot restaurant in the imperial capital?"

Zhou Jin hurriedly said: "Wishing you prosperity, business is prosperous, as long as you don't make movies, everything is easy to say." ”

"Damn!" Mao Dao scolded angrily and hung up the phone.

Zhou Jin was very happy, and finally pulled one back.

Sometimes, he wants to make an emoji, a villain kneels on the ground, next to a rice bowl, and a few big words behind it: making a movie is a dead end.

The film market is becoming more and more prosperous now, but movies are becoming less and less like movies.

In winter, Zhou Jin took "Flower Thousand Bone" out, which was considered to be a peaceful matter for Lin Gengxing and Sugar Man.

After Cai Yirong went back to study it, she felt that there was indeed the potential for a big hit, so she decided to go on TV and games together.

As long as "Flower Thousand Bone" can bring enough income, then Sugar Man has enough strength to impact the main board from the new third board.

In order to achieve the goal of going public, Cai Yirong also had to endure the pain of upgrading the sugar man from a small studio to a modern company, and also made a special equity structure.

According to the conditions she offered, Zhou Jin and Liu Sisi continued to stay in Sugar Man, and each of them could use 15 million to occupy 2% of Sugar Man's shares.

In other words, Sugar Man is now valued at 750 million.

If it is successfully listed, then the valuation is expected to rush to 3 billion, which is a return on earnings of 400%.

Such a big cake smashed Zhou Jin's head painfully.

It's a pity that he doesn't have much money on hand, and there are at most 10 million left in the small company, and he has to support the development of Orange Image.

Liu Sisi is very happy, she has a lot of money on hand that is useless, and she is unwilling to let Liu's mother accept her, investing in sugar people sounds like a good way.

Anyway, pinching the shares, as long as the sugar man doesn't fall, the loss should not be lost.

In this way, all the way to the tangled knots, the time came to June.

"There's one last scene, let's work hard!"

Approaching the finale, Wen Muye, who has always been calm, began to be restless, clenching his fists and dangling around the crew.

Speaking of which, the previous scenes were all filmed according to the script, but today's scene was added by himself according to the national conditions of the Celestial Empire.

-- The developer carried out forced demolition in the name of rebuilding the urban village, and the people in the urban village asked for help to no avail.

Zhou Jin changed into a gray suit and stood at the door, waiting to enter.

There are a few flower-armed brothers in the field, standing in the small supermarket with sticks, and they are very difficult to mess with at first glance.

The proprietress of the supermarket, Xie Dajia, could only tremble in the face of this group of hooligans.

There was a crowd of onlookers standing at the entrance of the supermarket, but no one dared to step forward and meddle in things.

"It won't save trouble if you move out early, we have to do it ourselves, I really don't know how to lift!"

A yellow-haired stick smashed on the cash register, and there was a loud "bang", and the glass splashed everywhere.

"Ahh

The screams of the proprietress and the wild laughter of the hooligans, and the voices of the onlookers who dared to be angry and dare not speak were all collected by the recording engineer one by one.

Knowing how to use voice is one of Wen Muye's strengths.

"Demolition" = "get rich", this formula in 2013, can not be completed.

Because in many small places, the demolition money is only used to send the people away.

If you refuse to move, then you will be demolished.

"Stop!"

Zhou Jin paused, like timely rain, and stopped all this.

The bald guy known as Brother Da Fei originally hugged his chest to watch the play, but when he heard the words and went back to take a look, the arrogance on his face was suddenly replaced by flattery.

"Ouch, Section Chief Jiang," he ran to Zhou Jin, rubbed his hands and said, "You are still working for you, just leave this matter to us to deal with, and ensure that it is properly handled." ”

"During this time, I received a large number of complaints from the masses, saying that you carried out forced demolition in violation of regulations, is there such a thing?"

"How come," the guy had good acting skills, half-bowed, waved his hand, and the little brother behind quickly hid the stick in his hand.

"Our company is in the right and formal way, and we will never dare to cause trouble to the government," he handed over a business card in both hands, looking like an old fritter.

Zhou Jin took a look, "Ministry of Foreign Support?"

"Yes, it is responsible for external support, this supermarket has embezzled the company's property, and we are also recovering it in accordance with the law, and Director Liang also knows about it. ”

"As far as I know, whether to decide on demolition or not is still in the negotiation stage, and I have read your documents, and the procedures are not complete. ”

"Ouch, it's not just a matter of a few days, the district government has already passed the ......"

"That's not good," Zhou Jin interrupted him and said in a deep voice: "Even if it's a few days late, it's illegal to disturb others doing business, don't make it difficult for me." ”

To put it bluntly, the Letters and Visits Bureau is to give the people a chance to speak out, and when they are forcibly demolished, the first thing they think of is to petition.

It is not easy to say how much power a section chief of the Letters and Visits Bureau can have, but after all, Section Chief Jiang is a member of the public family, and he seems to have a deep background.

Wen Muye deliberately made a hint here:

How could a hooligan leader know the section chief of the Letters and Visits Bureau, and he is very familiar with it, and the reasons behind it are all left to the audience to figure out.

Under Section Chief Jiang's mouth, the hooligans retreated, and the onlookers directly surrounded Section Chief Jiang, almost shouting Jiang Qingtian.

Zhou Jin smiled, pressed his hands, and motioned to the masses to be quiet, "Our Letters and Visits Bureau is here to solve problems for everyone, everyone can rest assured, we will definitely strive for a proper solution." ”

"How do you solve it?"

"That's it, Section Chief Jiang, you have to find a way for us......"

Zhou Jin said: "I have read the documents in the Land and Resources Bureau, the government's plan for urban villages was originally to be rebuilt, but the plan they came up with was to change it to a development zone, which is a violation, and you can go to the court to sue the government according to the administrative law." ”

"Demolition is definitely going to be demolished, but then the government will have a reason to put pressure on the other side and fight for more rights and interests for you. ”

After hearing this, the residents looked at each other.

"Over!"

After tossing a scene to the fifth time, Wen Muye finally shouted.

This also means that the two plot lines in the play, the comfort women and the forced demolition plot, are all over, and "Can I Say", which was filmed for two months, has finally been completed.

While the crew was cheering, Zhou Jin squeezed to Wen Muye's side, "Hey, do you think we are instigating?"

"What to instigate?"

"In the event of forced demolition, according to the administrative law, sue the government. ”

"Of course not, I've consulted a lawyer, these are all real cases, and it depends on whether the court files a case or not, and we are at most a secondary transmission. ”

"Bah, you haven't been beaten by the General Bureau...... Forget it, it's a big deal to hit it back and recut it. ”

Zhou Jin also let it go.
