Chapter 744: I'm Pretty Sure
In December 2015, this was supposed to be the time when various film and television companies were competing to release their own movies, but due to the appearance of a certain traverser, there was a rare gap period.
Throughout December, in the first ten days, "Sudden Star Movement", which was invested by Jiaxing World, was the first to strike, and although the cumulative box office exceeded 100 million, this result was not outstanding for Li Yifeng and Yang Mi, who are both popular actors.
It's okay that Li Yifeng has always lacked works in the film field, but Yang Mi once pulled the box office of bad movies like "Far Cry" to nearly 100 million a few years ago......
In the past few years, Yang Mi's popularity has increased a lot, but the box office of the movie has only increased by less than 30 million, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.
What's more, "Sudden Star Movement" is also the first time that Jiaxing World has used the company's artists to play a major role in a wide range of works, but now it is found that not only has it not made its own artists famous, but even the appeal of its own trump card is not as good as before, and Jiaxing's wave is hard enough......
Unlike Jiaxing World's unspeakable suffering, several companies that participated in the investment of "Looking for the Dragon" can be a little happier at this time period at the end of the year.
On the first day of release, "Looking for the Dragon" won a box office of 190 million yuan in one fell swoop, successfully topping the single-day box office list;
On Saturday, December 19, "Looking for the Dragon" continued to forge ahead, with a single-day box office of 210 million yuan, breaking through the 200 million yuan mark and continuing to lead the box office list;
On Sunday, December 20, the popularity of "Looking for the Dragon" continued unabated, and the single-day box office once again exceeded the 200 million yuan mark;
Three days after its release, the cumulative box office of "Looking for the Dragon" reached 630 million yuan, and the momentum is unstoppable!
The head of Wanda Pictures felt that he could finally raise his eyebrows.
No wonder he reacted so exaggeratedly.
When Ye Ning was transferred out of Wanda Pictures and finally left, almost everyone was not optimistic about the work future of her successor, and now she can have a billion-level movie in her tenure, not to mention anything else, at least when the company summarizes at the end of the year, at least it will not be taken out as a negative example by the big boss......
Although Wang's Group failed to get the lion's share in the investment in "Looking for the Dragon", they were not without gains at the end of this year.
The movie "Lao Pao'er", which was independently invested by Wang's Group, was released a week later than "Looking for the Dragon", and it actually won a box office of 260 million in the first weekend, which made the Wang brothers very happy.
No one thought that a movie that has neither big scenes nor popular stars, and almost completely relies on the support of Feng Gang and a school of acting, and honestly tells the story, can actually achieve such results, and unlike "Looking for the Dragon", which focuses on special effects and scenes, the audience reputation of "Lao Paoer" is even better, although in the short term, the box office of "Lao Paoer" may not be as dazzling as "Looking for the Dragon", but if you put this time into a period of two months or even longer, "Lao Paoer" There is even the possibility of a box office counterattack......
Of course, none of the above movies have anything to do with Molong Media.
In addition to constantly adjusting the number of films in theaters around the country according to the box office situation of the film in the company's theater chain, the focus of Molong's work during this period is basically on the several films to be filmed next year and the promotion of "Mermaid".
Su Lun's "Living Together in Time and Space" has submitted a complete script under Xu Zheng's 'supervision', and after the review is passed, Lei Jiayin and Tong Liya have begun to prepare, waiting for the crew to notice.
As the first film to be the sole leader, the two of them attach great importance to "Living Together in Time and Space", and with Xu Zheng staring at it, even if Su Lun is a newcomer director, he should not be unable to control the actors on the set.
"Flower Thousand Bone" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo" will be launched in a year, and one is expected to be launched in May, at least at the current stage, the preparations are quite smooth.
Of course, for Li Mo, the most important thing at present is to complete the editing of "Book of Swords and Enmity".
Almost a week after Hu Ge's first audition, the second and final audition for "In the Name of the People" began in the park of a unit of the Sky Shadow Group.
The reason why I chose to hold the final audition here is because if there are no accidents, many scenes in the interior and interior of government offices in "In the Name of the People" will be filmed here. Let the actor enter this environment in advance, and there is also the consideration of re-examining the degree of coordination between the actor and the environment.
As expected, although Lu Yi, another candidate in Li Xuezhen's hands, also met the acting requirements in the previous audition, when he competed with Hu Ge, Lu Yi's too gentle and sunny temperament still made people feel incompatible with the resolute, resolute and flexible acting director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau in the script.
Sure enough, before waiting for the next day, Li Xuezhen and director Li Lu agreed that Hu Ge was the best candidate for Hou Liangping.
After the audition, Hu Ge offered to invite Li Mo to dinner to show his gratitude, and Li Mo gladly accepted.
It's still the same restaurant last time.
The two chatted and chatted, from "In the Name of the People" to Molong Media's project plan for next year.
"Lao Hu, don't you know, don't look at the current scenery of our Molong Media, when we opened several projects at the same time this year, I found that the little manpower on hand was not enough at all, Wang Kai, Jin Dong, Lei Jiayin...... One by one, they all have their own whereabouts, Cheng He and the others are either stumbling over variety shows and can't get out, or because of their limited image, many roles can't be played, how good would it be if our company had a few more actors who can do it......"
“…… Li Mo, what do you think of me?"
"Of course you are very good," Li Mo didn't react to what Hu Ge was talking about at all, he still put a chopstick in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Don't look at our company, there are already Wang Kai and Jin Dong, but when it comes to popularity in the minds of the audience, they are ...... with you Wait, what did you just say?"
"I said, what do you think of me? If I go to your company, will you accept it?"
Although when he handed over the audition opportunity for "In the Name of the People" to Hu Ge before, he had the intention of asking the other party to change the court, but after Hu Ge's mood was obviously not high last time, Li Mo never mentioned this matter again, and originally thought that everyone would be happy when they were happy, so he took advantage of the wine to open his mouth to test it, who knew that Hu Ge himself actually took the initiative to speak first......
What is this?
"Old Hu...... No, senior brother, Hu Ge, tell me the truth, is that sentence just now serious?"
"I'm pretty sure!" Hu Ge raised his head and looked at Li Mo seriously, "I'm pretty sure I don't want to stay in Tangren anymore, and I'm also pretty sure I really want to change companies now!"
