Xu Shi took the box office report card in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The box office of "Passion Speed" on the first day was 480 million.

The box office on the second day was 510 million.

The box office on the third day was 460 million.

.........

The box office on the seventh day was 390 million.

The box office of "Passion Speed" was as high as 2.5 billion in the first week.

"The Witch" had a box office of 350 million on the first day.

The next day's box office was 420 million.

The box office on the third day was 450 million.

..........

The box office on the seventh day was: 480 million.

"The Witch" grossed 2.6 billion in the first week, catching up with and surpassing "Furious Speed" on the last day of the first week.

Looking at the report card in his hand, Xu Shi's face couldn't help but smile, such a result was completely beyond his expectations.

The later stage of "The Witch" is really fierce, and looking at the box office curve, the box office behind it will not fall too fast, and it has more stamina than "Passion Speed".

Now the hot search on the Internet has been occupied by "The Witch", and the topicality of the two sides is no longer on the same level at all.

The picture of "Passion Speed" is indeed explosive, and it is a masterpiece in popcorn movies, but after watching it once, the audience has no desire to watch it a second time, after all, the plot is relatively simple, and everyone is going to the picture.

But "The Witch" is different, its plot can be described as very interesting, and there are too many points that can be discussed and dug deep in the plot.

Many people have not only watched it once, but also many people who have brushed it twice or three times.

And because the number of people discussing it increases, it will attract more people who were not too interested in it.

There is also a key point, that is, the movie "The Witch" is a domestic drama, and "Passion Speed" is imported from abroad.

As the box office of "The Witch" surpassed "Passion Speed", it led to more and more heated discussions on the Internet.

It seems that I don't know when it started, since the introduction of these foreign blockbusters, domestic films have basically lost against these movies, and they have lost by a big score.

It seems that the gap between the two sides is just a big one.

Since Xu Shi defeated "Super 4" with "Hacker" last time, this situation seems to have been reversed.

But the reality is that as always, other movies are still a failure in the face of these Hollywood blockbusters.

However, this time "The Witch" once again beat Hollywood blockbusters, and it was still during the Spring Festival, which made it even more exciting.

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

"Let me know, let Zhang Kui and Han Shang and them, as well as the members of the screenwriting team, have a meeting. Xu Shi said to the secretary next to him.

This is not his secretary, but the secretary of the eldest sister Xu Mei, Xu Shi didn't want to find a secretary for the time being, anyway, his affairs were handled by the eldest sister first, and then he couldn't decide, or he came to him if he needed to discuss, so he didn't need a secretary too much.

Of course, this is also related to his desire to be lazy, if he has a secretary, many things can't be avoided.

Soon Xu Shi arrived at the conference room, and when he saw Cheng Guochao actually inside, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What? You want to eavesdrop on our company's secrets?"

Cheng Guochao said seriously: "What your company is, it is our company." ”

"Huh?" Xu Shi was really stunned, what did Cheng Guochao's words mean?

"Brother Xu, Director Cheng is also ready to join our Jingwu Sect. Zhang Kui on the side said with a smile.

"Really, when will you make the decision?" does Mingyue agree?" Xu Shi asked several questions in a row, and at the same time he was very happy in his heart.

You must know that what their company lacks most now is the director, and Cheng Guochao has cooperated with them so many times, which is the most suitable.

It's just that Cheng Guochao used to be a member of Mingyue Company, and the relationship between the two sides was also very good, and Xu Shi didn't want to dig into the wall.

But he didn't expect Cheng Guochao to choose to leave Mingyue and come to their Jingwumen after achieving such good results.

"I have discussed it with Mr. Wang, and there is no big problem, but the company still needs to pay the liquidated damages for me. Cheng Guochao also said with a smile on his face.

He also thought about it a lot before making a decision, and he didn't make a decision as soon as his mind was hot.

"You don't have to worry about liquidated damages, but why did Mr. Wang release people so happily?" asked Xu Shi.

How do you think that Wang Mingyue will not release people so happily, you must know that the results of "The Witch" have come out, and it has completely proved Cheng Guochao's ability, and it is obviously not in the interests of the company to release people at this time.

Cheng Guochao said: "The contract I signed with Mingyue is not the kind of contract for selling myself, it is considered a cooperation between the two parties, and Mr. Wang also knows the situation, so he didn't say much." ”

Although Cheng Guochao didn't say much, Xu Shi also understood, Cheng Guochao's original results can only be said to be average, except for "The Witch", the only movie that hit the box office was "One Man's Martial Arts".

But everyone knows that he is just a picture director in "One Man's Martial Arts", and all the content in it is grasped by Xu Shiyi.

So everyone doesn't have much sense of identity with Cheng Guochao.

In addition, Cheng Guochao is also an old employee in Mingyue, and the contract given cannot be too harsh, and the termination of the contract is logical.

Xu Shi didn't ask too much, he definitely wanted to invite Cheng Guochao to eat in the evening, and it was not too late to talk about it in detail when the time came.

"Well, the results of "The Witch" have come out, and according to the current trend, the box office explosion has become a fact, so we congratulate Director Cheng first. After speaking, Xu Shi took the lead in applauding.

When the applause stopped, Xu Shi continued: "Then let's start analyzing why "The Witch" can succeed and what successful lessons are learned. ”

This is also the purpose of Xu Shi's analysis meeting, so that everyone can learn some of the experience in it and accumulate foundation for future scripts and shooting.

"Mr. Xu, I think so, in "The Witch", there are not many brain-burning plots, although there are many people discussing it on the Internet now, but in fact, this movie is not a brain-burning drama at all, it just puts the last big bossf at the end, and then releases it all at once, giving people a sense of impact.

And during this time, I also checked the box office of classic suspense brain-burning dramas, and I can see that these movies are indeed classics, and all kinds of suspense shots and suspense are also very appropriate.

But the box office is not very ideal, it belongs to the kind of film that is not popular, please look at the big screen. Wang Feiyun spoke first, and then put a series of data on the projector.

It can be seen that he has indeed put a lot of effort into this time. 、

"So my idea is that when we write a script, we can write something that is not too brain-burning, and it is a script that gives people suspense, but does not need to be carefully pondered.

After all, everyone is very busy now, and the biggest component of watching movies is entertainment, not for the pursuit of decryption, and this degree must be grasped well. ”

Wang Feiyun talked a lot and said some of his own thoughts.

started with Wang Feiyun, and then everyone participated in the discussion, and Zhang Kui, Cheng Guochao and others quickly joined in to analyze the script from the director's point of view.

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

Just when Xu Shi and them were having a meeting, She Yueling's side was also very lively.

Chang Yue and the others also gathered at She Yueling's house again at this time, and with She Yueling's success, these people became more and more diligent.

"Lingling, congratulations, you really succeeded this time. Chang Yue said enviously.

"That's right, you can be regarded as a step to the sky, according to the current situation, the box office of your movie is estimated to be no less than four billion.

God, it would be nice if I could star in a four-billion-dollar movie. Tao Mengyu rolled on the sofa with a pillow.

Among the four of them, She Yueling was actually the first to debut, but at first they didn't think that She Yueling could mix better than them.

After all, She Yueling's character is here, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she has a character that would rather bend than bend.

They have known this for a long time, and such a character is actually not suitable for development in the entertainment industry at all.

Don't look at them young, but they know more than anyone else.

The silly white sweet appearance is just a character in front of the audience, and they should understand all of them.

But no one expected that the entertainment industry suddenly broke into a Xu Shi, and what they didn't expect was that Xu Shi was still She Yueling's senior brother.

Now ask the people in the whole circle, who doesn't envy She Yueling.

You don't need too much entertainment, and you don't need any intrigue, you just need to perform the play well.

"Hehe, I'm lucky too. She Yueling smirked.

But she also knows that she is really lucky, after all, she is not a fool who doesn't know anything, she knows everything.

Even if she didn't know much about it before, after being in the entertainment industry for so long, she also understood how lucky she was to be able to meet a senior brother like Xu Shi.

"Ah, no, I want to have a big meal, Lingling, you want to have a treat, I want abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, ......" Tao Mengyu shouted loudly.

"Okay, then I'll order food now?" She Yueling said with a smile.

Just as she took out her phone, a call suddenly came in.

"Sister Yan, what's the matter?" it was her agent Liu Yan who called.

She also knew that if it was okay, Liu Yan would not call her.

"That's right, you and Xiaoxiao were selected for Best Actress at the Academy Awards, and I'll inform you here. There was some excitement in Liu Yan's tone.

Is there finally a Best Actress in her hands?

This is not only an affirmation of the artist, but also an honor for the agent, which will also make her more popular in the agent's circle.

"Ah, really?" She Yueling was also extremely excited when she heard Liu Yan say this, but she also reacted quickly.

"I don't think there's much hope this time, not to mention anything else, even Sister Xiaoxiao, I can't compare. When she said this, She Yueling couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Indeed, in fact, when selecting the best actor and actress, it is not only about the acting skills, but also at the box office of the film and some of the fame of the actors.

These are all things that can influence the final selection.

She Yueling and Xu Xiaoxiao are really at a complete disadvantage.

"It's right that you can think so, I'm worried that you're looking forward to it too much, but don't worry, with this nomination, it will actually be very helpful for you to win the award next time. Liu Yan has also thought about these things for a long time.

She also knew that She Yueling's hope was very slim this time, but just like she said, this nomination will be of great help to She Yueling's award next time.

And just the nomination can also help She Yueling improve her fame.

"Lingling, I heard you right, you were nominated for Best Actress?" Chang Yue's voice trembled a little.

She never thought that She Yueling had actually come to this part, and at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a wave of jealousy in her heart.

However, this emotion was quickly suppressed by her, and she also understood that no matter how jealous she Yueling was, she still needed to have a good relationship with She Yueling.

"Well, but there is not much hope of winning the award, so I am just a runner. She Yueling said.

"Ahhh Tao Mengyu shouted.

As soon as she said this, Chang Yue and Zhang Yuehan on the side also looked at She Yueling.

Now they are really moved, how long has She Yueling been in the Jingwu Sect for such a result.

She Yueling saw the three best friends looking expectant, and couldn't help but shrink her neck and said, "I don't know this, I don't care about this." ”

Seeing She Yueling's appearance, Chang Yue and the three couldn't help but pounce, and then started a fight.

After the fight, Chang Yue waited until the other two went to the bathroom to touch up their makeup, and suddenly said to She Yueling: "Lingling, can you help me ask Xu Mingjie out, I want to invite him to dinner." ”

"Love Apartment 2" really doesn't have her, so much so that she has also received some ridicule in the company now.

She also understands where she is wrong, so she wants to admit her mistake to Xu Mingjie, if she can use this opportunity to have a good relationship with Xu Mingjie, it will be better.

As for what the price will have to pay, she is ready for this.

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

With the passage of time, the box office of "The Witch" and the box office of "Passion Speed" slowly widened.

Although the box office of both parties has declined significantly because of the work after the year, it can be seen that the box office trend of "The Witch" is indeed much better than that of "Passion Speed".

The box office of "Passion Speed" began to slowly stay at 3.8 billion, and it is estimated that it will hit 4 billion in the end.

But "The Witch" has begun to hit the 5 billion mark at this time, and this realization has surprised many people.

You must know that this is a Hollywood blockbuster, even if you surpass it, but it is not so surpassed.

It can be seen from the box office that "Passion Speed" is indeed a very good film, not the kind of indiscriminate filling.

But even so, "The Witch" still left "Passion Speed" far behind.

As a result, many filmmakers began to focus on all the films of Jingwumen, and it seems that Xu Shi has found a way to revitalize domestic films.
