Chapter 388 Can You Still Let Others Take Hold of It? (The third is more to ask for a subscription!Ask for a monthly pass!)
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Zheng got up early, turned on the computer and watched the news about "Thai Embarrassment".
He can't completely ignore the outside world's evaluation now, and he hasn't reached that point yet.
The box office of 23 million on the first day fully met his expectations, and yesterday, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the Spring Festival holiday, the box office soared by 50% without accident.
The single-day box office reached 35 million.
35 million in a single day, which has broken the single-day box office record of Chinese films set by "Chinese Partner"!
Happiness comes too quickly, like a typhoon, caught off guard.
Tang An's sixth movie only reached 32 million in a single day, and now Xu Zheng's second film has surpassed this data.
Not only that, but now all domestic films are pressed under "Thai Embarrassment", and according to this box office, it is not difficult to break the record of "Chinese Partner".
Xu Zheng was in a trance for a while, the champion of Chinese film history is about to be his own?
However, Xu Zheng is not such a shallow person, Tang An relied on six movies to establish his current status and become one of the four major directors.
Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, which is not more than ten years and more than a dozen movies have stepped into the top director's position.
Although Chen Kaige doesn't have many movies, "Farewell My Concubine" is a god, even if the loss of "Wuji" is not as good as before, he still has one foot on the altar and has never completely fallen.
"Thai Embarrassment" definitely can't let Xu Zheng become a god, he is still self-aware.
In contrast, he is more like a top nouveau riche who needs continuous success to consolidate and improve his position.
However, "Thai Embarrassment" was so successful, and he became more and more determined in his ideas.
went to make that comedy first, and as long as it was a box office success, he was eligible to make more profits in the next embarrassing series, and even set up his own company to participate in the investment.
Otherwise, more than half of the studio's money is still Tang An's.
It's just that Tang An's previous attitude still made him a little worried, after all, his director and agent are in the studio, and the director is still about 6 years and three movies.
Tao Hong, who had made breakfast, came to the study to call him to eat, and seeing that Xu Zheng didn't have much happiness on his face, he couldn't help asking.
"What's the matter, the box office of 35 million is still not satisfied?"
"Satisfied, of course satisfied. Xu Zheng shook his head, and then told his wife about his concerns.
Tao Hong also sighed, she didn't agree with her husband's approach, in her opinion, the risk was too great.
"You should have told Tang An about that film before, you said that you had to wait for him to ask you to prepare the next script, isn't this a heart!"
"I didn't think of it at the time, so I said it subconsciously. ”
Xu Zheng smiled bitterly, if he first said that he had taken a film, it would be fine, after all, he couldn't just shoot the embarrassing series and not make other movies.
But now the nature has changed, Tang An just opened his mouth to prepare for the next one, and he said that he had no time to make other movies.
What is it?
Forced palace?
Or is it a threat?
Xu Zheng didn't know why his brain was short-circuited at that time, and it was not tactful at all to say such brainless words, even if it was him, he would be very unhappy.
I guess it was too inflated at the time.
"Then what do you think now, that movie is still not available?" Tao Hong asked.
"Yes, of course. Xu Zheng said without hesitation.
No matter how unhappy Tang An is, the most important thing is to prove his ability.
Only if you have the ability will others value you and be qualified to share the cake.
Even if you are incompetent, even if you are obedient, others don't need you to kick them away, and you don't have a problem.
"Then what if Tang An and he changes someone else to shoot?" Tao Hong said a little worriedly.
"If you change people, it's not an embarrassing series!"
Xu Zheng said nonchalantly, "I am the soul of the embarrassing series!"
Even in his heart, he still hopes that Tang An will do something foolish, find another person to direct, and then find someone to replace his role.
As long as the next film made by someone else hits the street, and the movie he starred in is successful again, it can't be more beneficial to him
As for the success of the embarrassment series that changed people, and the movie he starred in failed.
No, it won't!
Impossible!
Inexistent!
......
Tang An returned to the company, and most of the group, including President Chen Guozhang, were on vacation.
There are still about 200 people in the Propaganda Department and the Distribution Department working overtime.
The entertainment industry is like this, when people are on vacation, they are busy, especially during winter and summer vacations.
In the morning, I convened a meeting of two department managers and above to listen to their publicity plans and distribution strategies.
There are five or six departments subdivided under the two parts, as well as various groups, and there are too many specific things.
Nearly ten self-media groups have also come up with their own plans.
The people in charge of the distribution department in charge of various cinema chains, cinemas, and regions across the country also reported the situation of those cinemas and each province and city one by one.
Tang An spent two hours listening to their reports, and the overall situation was still very smooth.
At present, other movies basically don't have much box office, and they can't pose a threat at all, that is, they just have a small part of the film schedule.
Yesterday, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a "Little Soldier" starring Cheng Long was released, and it got 15 million on the first day.
This is Cheng Long's best data since the first day of "The King of Kung Fu" exceeded 16 million.
And the word-of-mouth is okay, and the box office can be expected.
However, this film has a part of Bernard's investment, and it is still issued by Bernard.
Although it will not allow Bernard to focus on the release of "Big Soldiers", it will inevitably have some impact.
"Let's end the meeting first, we are all busy, everyone has worked hard during this time, and I haven't been able to go back for the New Year, and when I am busy with this period, I will give everyone half a month off. ”
After the meeting, Tang An said to Xu Yanyun again, "Help me make an appointment with Xingmei and Poly Wanhe, and invite them to dinner. ”
"By the way, there is also Mr. Liu of Wanda Cinema Line, also make an appointment. ”
The three top ten theater chains in China basically don't have to worry about the problem of film scheduling, but they have to calculate whether the copy is enough.
"Well, I'll call right away. ”
Xu Yanyun nodded, and then said, "What about Xu Zheng, is the next part of the embarrassing series really delayed, and what if his movie succeeds?"
"It doesn't matter if it's a year or two late, it's just slow, if it's one a year, it reduces some expectations, which of those Hollywood series hasn't lasted for more than ten years. ”
"And what if he asks for a higher share?"
"That's up to him to see if he's qualified. ”
Tang An chuckled and shook his head, Xu Zheng's movie is obvious, comedy + magic, or produced by Zhuying Group, isn't this "Modern Times".
The box office seems to be more than 60 million, which should not be bad for a small-budget comedy, but for Xu Zheng, it is a big fight.
The quality of the movie is not good, and there is nothing surprising about this data.
is that Xu Zheng's appeal is not enough, the original 1.2 billion popularity of "Thai Embarrassment" was more of the embarrassment series, and then the continuous success of several movies such as "Hypnosis Master" and "No Man's Land" made Xu Zheng's two words a golden signboard.
Otherwise, Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" met "October Siege" and "Avatar", and there would be more than 200 million box office.
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is more suitable to win the annual box office championship.
Feng Xiaogang's only movie "1942" won 370 million box office.
The appeal of people is strong enough, and there is a bottom line no matter how much you pounce.
When "Modern Times" hits the streets, Xu Zheng is not qualified to ask for more shares, and even takes the initiative to start the third part of the embarrassing series.
Because he wants to rely on this movie to turn over, he is more anxious than Tang An.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if this "Modern Age" is a great success, Tang An will not give more benefits to Xu Zheng.
He has a way, is it possible for others to hold it?
Xu Zheng told Tang An not to worry about Xu Yanyun, and explained what happened during this time.
The first is to wait for the Spring Festival to go to the bank for a second loan, judging from the current trend of "Thai Embarrassment", it is not a problem to borrow another 70 or 80 million.
Then I went to meet with Qin Hong and the boss of Poly Wanhe Cinema Line, and won the greatest support they could.
