Chapter 165. No. 1 box office in Asia
Ang Lee saw that he had a good meal at home and enjoyed the happiness of being a first-time father.
Early the next morning, He Wen walked in with the materials.
"Domestic Lingling Paint" was screened.
The domestic box office is 4.95 billion, ranking first in China's box office.
The Asian box office was 5.64 billion, with a total of 10.59 billion yuan, ranking first in Asia.
Ang Lee nodded with satisfaction and asked: There are still 10 days left before the summer file, why not hold on until the summer file is released!
He Wen said: This is what Ah Xing took the initiative to request, and now the attendance rate is less than two percent, and the company is no longer making money, besides, other parts of Asia have also been released one after another, so it is better to change the movie.
Ang Lee said: Which step is being released now.
He Wen said: What is being released now is "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", which is going to be released for 15 days, and the new movie will be released when the summer season is the most prosperous.
Li An nodded and said: "Let the bullets fly" will be released in the summer, so that the people of the whole country can feel the baptism of hard air.
He Wen said: I watched the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", and it is also a classic, and the license has come to me twice.
Ang Lee said: Give the tail of the summer file to "A Chinese Ghost Story" to promote it well when the time comes, and the box office will be indispensable. By the way, what have the directors been doing lately, are there any idle?
He Wen said: No, several of them are like crazy, they all live on the set for food and clothing, how did you do it, what medicine did you give them.
Ang Lee said with a smile: What medicine can I have, isn't it just money? As long as the money is in place, the director will be exhausted.
He Wen glanced at Li An and said: Look at your virtue, how did I find that I used to be more and more blind!
Li An said with a smile: You won't be blind in the future, because you won't be able to find someone to look at again.
He Wen angrily hammered Li An, turned around and walked out.
Li An smiled and took out his mobile phone, hesitated again and again, but still called.
Hey, Han Lao, I'm Ang Lee.
Han Lao still said in an old voice: I know, it is you who dare to call me so early.
Li An smiled awkwardly and asked, "How are you doing, why don't you come to me to do it?"
Han Lao said disdainfully: I am the director of the electrical inspection department, and I run to you every day, you are not afraid!
Li An smiled hesitantly.
Han Lao said: Say! Is there something that needs to use me!
Li An was a little embarrassed and said: It's not that I want you to help, the main thing is that there are some things I want to ask you, please help me solve my doubts, after all, you have come to have more things than I have eaten.
Li An's words made Han Lao very satisfied, and Han Lao said with a smile: You kid is actually a little ungrateful, saying that it sounds good to avoid suspicion, but in fact, you are lazy.
Li An asked puzzledly: Do you know what I want to ask?
Han Lao said: Do I still need to ask? There are only two things you are struggling with now, the first is the matter of the rich people in Xiangjiang, and the second is the matter of South Korea.
Li An said with a flattering face: Why don't they all say that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!
Han Lao said: Don't be a sycophant, I just arrived at the office, if you come over now, you can leave before I rest, or you can wait for me to wake up in the afternoon and talk!
Li An said happily: You can wait for me for a while.
Han Lao immediately hung up the phone.
Li An straightened his clothes, opened his treasure, took out two bottles of red wine, and then drove to the electric inspection office.
When I came to the electrical inspection office and opened the door, I saw Han Lao holding a small pair of scissors building a bonsai in the house.
Li An walked over and looked at this general, and he couldn't help but praise: Jiao Jiao is frozen and the clouds are thin and thin, and the dragon sleeps in the night moon and the jade scales are open, the bonsai you raised is really ancient and majestic, full of vitality!
Han Lao glanced at Li An and said: It's not the first time that you kid has seen me in this pot of general pine, what kind of sycophants are you shooting, if you have this eloquence, you might as well tell me a short cross talk to make me happy!
Li An smiled and said: Okay, I'll give you a cross talk!
Han Lao waved his hand and said: Okay, I'm joking, I don't like to listen to that very much, let's talk about it!
Ang Lee said with a smile: Yesterday, a big Korean director went to me and threatened me to lift the ban on the Korean entertainment industry, what do you say.
Han Lao took a sip of tea and said: I don't know what to say about you, in fact, from my point of view, I hope that the Chinese entertainment industry will bloom, but there is a disadvantage in this situation, that is, it is easy to consume internal friction and consume resources in vain.
So I finally survived until retirement and finally survived to a figure who dominates the entertainment industry, but you kid is not developing well, you have to die, unlimited provocation, tell me what kind of heart you are pressing! I can't understand it at such an age, the entertainment industry has become your hall, why do you still want to die.
Ang Lee said with a smile: The main reason why I provoked them is that the plate of the Chinese film industry is too small, and if it takes too long for my own development, didn't I hear that the big boss of Xiangjiang has money?
After speaking, Ang Lee laughed very smugly.
Seeing Li An's smile, Han Lao couldn't help but be shocked: So what, who made your steps too big and pulled your crotch!
Ang Lee smiled and said: It's not that serious, in fact, everything is within my control, the only thing I didn't calculate is that I don't know when to ban Korean artists, although I had a conflict with them last time, but I forgot about it afterwards, I didn't expect to give me a big move at this juncture, he just came two days earlier I don't have to be so passive.
Han Lao smiled and said: You, you, what can I say about you, you said that you have arrived in Xiangjiang, why don't you go to Lao Zeng's place to sit down, you are alone in Xiangjiang, there is no script at all, and whoever you bump into will be unlucky.
Li An smiled, and Han always said what was in his heart.
Li An said: Next time you go to Xiangjiang and go to Lao Zeng to sit there, I guarantee that the ending will be different, and you still pretend to be high.
Li An scratched his head and said: I'm not pretending to be high.
Han Lao said: You are just lazy, and you are afraid that others will gossip about you, you still think that you are in control of everything, and you don't need to rely on external forces at all, you are good at everything, but you are a little arrogant, to be honest, if you don't change this problem, you definitely have to plant a big heel.
Li An thought for a while and said: I will pay attention in the future, and I will definitely change it in the future.
Han Lao continued: Tell me how long you haven't been here, and you still expect my old arms and legs to go to you!
Li An smiled embarrassedly, he really hadn't come over for a long time, as if he couldn't remember it after someone helped.
Han Lao said: I can't help you with the problem of Xiangjiang, but I can tell you about the problem of South Korea.
Li An looked humbly and said: You say, I'll listen!
Han Lao said: The best thing you did was this Korean ban order, in fact, the country was not used to seeing some Korean artists who made money in China and represented young Chinese people many years ago.
But at that time, China had no way to compete with South Korea in the entertainment industry, and the Chinese film and television industry was also scattered, and it was impossible to form an effective resistance at all, so do you really think that you could block the entire Korean entertainment industry with just a few words last time? Do you know how much effort my old man has made in it.
Ang Li smiled when he heard this.
Han Lao took out a document from the drawer and said to Li An: Show you this document, and you will know how happy I am.
Ang Lee took it and looked at it, only to see that the headline read, "High military spending is deadlocked, and South Korea has a surprising viewpoint: Let the US military go! Nuclear protection depends on China."
Specifically, due to the economic downturn in the United States, the current US president has demanded that the proportion of the military expenses of the US military stationed in South Korea be skyrocketed from $900 million to $4.7 billion.
As soon as this news came out, nearly 70 percent of the South Korean people disagreed, and because of the deadlock over the issue of apportioning the military expenses of the US troops stationed in South Korea, the US side already planned to use the method of withdrawing some US troops to force South Korea to comply.
Perhaps because the public is mostly negative on this issue, Moon Hae-ri, a special assistant to the South Korean president, boldly put forward his own idea at a meeting on May 4: after the withdrawal of US troops, China could provide an underwriting umbrella for South Korea.
