Xu Lei is immersed in recording song albums, and there have been more and more discussions about the box office explosion of the movie "Crazy Stone".

"This is a comedy!"

"Humorous, funny, funny. ”

"It should be for those third-rate directors who know how to use special effects all day long to learn what a movie is!"

"Director Xu is talented! The works shot are of high quality!"

"Unbelievable! Is this really the work of a group of actors?"

Who said that Xu Lei's cross-border belongs to the nature of playing tickets?"

"I should thank the Sound of Music program team, without your shady scenes, we wouldn't be able to see this good-looking comedy!"

"Support upstairs!"

"Support upstairs +10086!"

“……”

"Crazy Stone" was able to become popular in such a short period of time, which also exceeded the expectations of Xu Lei and Liu Xiaofei.

On the day of the release, in just 6 hours, it received a box office of 17.25 million, despite Wang Fei's intervention, the film scheduling rate is also good, but this is too exaggerated. Originally, Xu Lei thought it was only about 500,6 million!

After careful investigation, I roughly understood that the reason why there is such a high box office is that in addition to the assistance of professional film critics Feng Jing, Tian Chong and others on Weibo again, Wang Fei himself also greeted him in his circle.

Wang Fei is a bigwig-level figure! A little expert in investment! Everyone is willing to admit this when it comes to doing things, and as for whether they will offend the people of the Sound of Music and the 98 Media, who of them will be afraid? and it is not Xu Lei himself, who directly supports it.

Besides, who can make Wang Fei say hello, how can he be a person with no background?

is also like this, a comedy movie that only revealed to the outside world with an investment of about 2 million, all made by newcomers and group actors, has risen so suddenly!

Then it was out of control.

The next day, Friday, swept 72.43 million at the box office. On Saturday, the film scheduling rate rose to 19%, and the single-day box office exceeded 100 million. reached a staggering 132.56 million box office.

Seeing that this comedy is so crazy, and because it is a film introduced by Wang Fei, the theater chain waved its hand, and the film schedule reached an exaggerated 26%. After Monday's statistics, the outside world was shocked, with a single-day box office of 217.65 million. It became the highest-grossing film in a single day in November.

It only took more than three days for the total box office to accumulate to 440 million.

Looking back at the pitiful investment amount of 2 million, this is a good lesson for those big directors in China! This slap is ruthless enough! It's enjoyable enough!

In addition to the box office, on Douban and Huateng, the two most formal film review institutions in China, the movie "Crazy Stone" also ranks very high, with one 9.1 points and one 8.8 points.

It can be described as a box office, and word-of-mouth has a bumper harvest.

Although there are a lot of bad reviews such as "What a bullshit movie, garbage!", "I can't understand what I say!", "Grandstanding, the thief is so stupid?", "I don't know what to do at all!", and so on, but I still can't resist the attack of the army of praise.

"Crazy Stone" is in full swing as usual!

Xu Lei has also become a well-known new director in China!

……

Qinshui Bay.

On the second day after Xu Lei came back from the magic capital, Wang Fei of Longyou Venture Capital Company came to the door.

I thought that the other party was a lobbyist and wanted him to join some big film and television company, but I didn't think that I would invite him to join the Chinese Network.

In the rental room, the two sat facing each other, and Xu Lei asked curiously: "Mr. Wang, it seems that this Qicheng Chinese network is not controlled by your Longyou Venture Capital Company, right?"

"Now it's wholly-owned!" Wang Fei said lightly.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xu Lei was a little surprised. He had heard Liu Xiaofei's guy mention that Qicheng Chinese Network was acquired by the son-in-law brother Gao Qi he had seen, in order to accumulate capital in order to compete with Gao Yu, the current head of Shengtian Entertainment, in the future.

How long has it been? The company was acquired by Wang Fei?

seemed to see that Xu Lei cared about this matter, and Wang Fei threw another sentence: "That boss Gao is not a powerful character, and 300 million will be delivered." ”

"Cow!" glanced at Wang Fei in surprise, Xu Lei smiled and approved.

Although the current valuation of Qicheng Chinese Network is around 200 million, once it develops for another year or two, I am afraid that it will not be able to take 1 billion, or even 2 billion. After all, the company has become a climate, is functioning normally, and will only gradually increase in value.

It's a pity!

Sighing secretly, Xu Lei said, "What is the real purpose of Mr. Wang coming to me?"

Although the two do not communicate much, when talking about the adaptation rights of the novel "Immortals", Xu Lei made it clear that when he writes online novels again, there is no accident, and he will also release it on the Chinese website.

Now that the boss has changed, it has no impact on Xu Lei himself!

Wang Fei knew this, and he didn't say on the phone that he had to come to Hengdian in person to discuss, I'm afraid it wasn't just for the sake of electronic copyright, right?

Immediately, I heard Wang Fei's voice: "Director Xu, I came this time, in addition to exchanging your ordinary sharing contract with the highest-level platinum contract, there is one more thing I want to cooperate with you." ”

"Cooperation?" Regarding the exchange of platinum contracts, Qinglong, the editor in charge of the Chinese network in the Penguin, communicated with him more than a month ago, but Xu Lei's mind was on the movie "Crazy Stone" at that time, so he ignored it. I mentioned it again at this moment, and I was unmoved.

However, the cooperation in Wang Fei's mouth surprised him a little.

"Don't hide it from Director Xu, you should know your reputation in the outside world now, about your directorial talent!"

Wang Fei said seriously: "I am afraid that those who come to the door want to pull you into a big entertainment company, but I am not! You should also know that I am a venture capital company, especially in film and television production, and I am not willing to set up a subsidiary in person, but you director Xu Lei is an exception! I know your ambition and want to set up your own film and television production company, but after all, you are a newcomer, and you have too few contacts, so you can publicize it in place this time, let alone next time? Not to mention the film review. ”

After a pause, Wang Fei continued: "I have connections and funds. As long as Director Xu leaves a place for us in Longyou Venture Capital Company in the area of film investment directed in the future, the rest will be handed over to me, how about it?"

Hearing this, Xu Lei's face sank at first. Instead, he looked deeply at Wang Fei, who did not change his face and was drinking tea by himself.

This person is really powerful! This courage, this means, and this vision are worthy of being a little expert in investment!

Don't say yes?

How can it be?

Promise?

Some are unwilling!

Gritting his teeth, Xu Lei was silent for a long time, frowned and said: "The specific contract, go to my studio tomorrow to negotiate!"

"Happy cooperation!" Wang Fei said with a smile.

Xu Lei shook hands with him silently.

When Wang Fei left, he slowly lay down in his bedroom and stared at the ceiling for a long time. I can't help but feel aggrieved for a while, I have no connections, no background, and being bullied is the norm.

There is no partner, and it is also the backstage, and if you want to confront other forces in the early stage, it is nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg, and you can't do it yourself!

If he was in Kyoto, Xu Lei's feelings were not so profound, but after staying in Hengdian for a long time, combined with chatting with Su Qingxue, Liu Xiaofei, and even Xiao Zinian in the magic capital, he clearly understood that he could do anything if he was not talented.

Take the formation of the crew as an example, it doesn't matter if you offend one or two forces. But there are many offends, who dares to follow you to do things? They all need to eat! Unless Xu Lei takes money to support them, this is unrealistic!

In addition, as Wang Fei said, at present, the propaganda work of their grass platform team is too poor, not to mention the audit that Xu Lei is most afraid of. Once you get stuck, that's a big deal.

Not to mention the investment in the water, it will also make the actors who are thinking about the release of the movie unhappy. Although the salary can be obtained, it has been wasted for so long, and the film cannot appear on the big screen, who wants to?

In addition to these, there is also distribution work, which is not something that a small film and television production company can take!

In addition, it is the most direct cinema chain.

Xu Lei doesn't have that confidence, he can be appreciated by those theater bosses, for him, offend so many people!

Lamentable!

Thinking about it, unconsciously, Xu Lei fell asleep.
