Chapter 497: Self-Reliance Portal
As of November 25, the cumulative box office of the 17-day movie "33 Days of Broken Love" exceeded 420 million yuan, which also made it the runner-up of the annual domestic film box office after Feng Xiaotank's "Tangshan Earthquake" so far in 2010.
However, the box office runner-up of "33 Days of Broken Love" is only temporary, and it is not secure, because James Cameron's "Avatar" and Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" will be expected to be released in the next 12 months, not including Feng Xiaova's Chinese New Year movie - "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2".
It is conceivable that as long as there are no big accidents, the total box office of the movie "33 Days of Broken Love" directed by Lin Xiaoguang can only rank third or fourth at most, and as for James Cameron's "Avatar", don't try to compare with it.
Because "Avatar" is a devastating nuclear weapon, ordinary domestic films can't touch it at all.
Of course, the total box office of the movie "33 Days of Broken Love" can enter the top five of the year, and Lin Xiaoguang is already very satisfied, whether it is for himself, for the front and back of the stage, or for investors such as Huayi Brothers, he has handed over a satisfactory answer.
ended the propaganda in other places and returned to Shaojing on the evening of the day, Huang Zhongjun made a special trip to hold a grand celebration party for "33 Days of Broken Love".
In the face of the Huayi brothers, Huang Zhongjun and Huang Zhonglei, many bigwigs, directors, and actors in the circle came to congratulate Lin Xiaoguang.
Lin Xiaoguang had just led Wen Zhang and Bai Baihe out of the car, and before he stepped into the hotel, reporters at the door surrounded him, all of them looking excited.
"Hello Director Lin, may I ask what kind of mood do you feel now when the box office of the movie exceeds 400 million?"
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and quipped: "I'm very happy, and I thank you for your support, in addition, let me correct it, it's not broken 400 million, it's broken 420 million!"
As soon as the words fell, a discordant question came from the corner.
"Hello Director Lin Xiaoguang, have you officially terminated the contract with Huayi?"
"Does Lin Dao'er have any plans to set up her own door?"
In the face of these good reporters' questions, Lin Xiaoguang only said some ambiguous words, and then ignored them.
In other words, although Lin Xiaoguang won 420 million box office for Huayi Brothers with "33 Days of Broken Love", it really made Huayi Brothers the leading film and television company in the entertainment industry, one step ahead of all other film and television companies, mainly because Huayi Brothers is a listed company.
Therefore, when the media brought up the contract issue, Lin Xiaoguang did not dare to talk nonsense, because for now, any news of Huayi Brothers may cause Huayi's stock price to fluctuate.
What's more, Lin Xiaoguang's current status in Huayi is only second only to the Huang Zhongjun brothers, and Feng Xiaowan, who has made two movies a year.
It is conceivable that if Lin Xiaoguang leaves Huayi with such fanfare, it will inevitably cause turmoil in Huayi's stock market.
The largest ballroom in this five-star hotel is enough to accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, and it is more than enough to hold a celebration banquet.
"Big brother, what are you doing, is it necessary to be so grand? I'm a little embarrassed!"
"Xiaoguang, all this is what you deserve, your movie has exceeded 400 million box office in half a month after its release, and the stocks of our Huayi brothers are about to go crazy!" Huang Zhongjun walked in with a smile, followed by a sweet-looking girl with long legs.
After greeting Huang Zhongjun for a few words, Lin Xiaoguang asked him to go in first, and then he and the two heroes and heroines greeted him at the door.
Not long after, Wang Changtian of the light came, and Paulie Bernard Yu Dong also appeared for the first time.
Han Sanping couldn't come today because of something, so he also invited representatives of China Film to be there.
When everyone arrived, Lin Xiaoguang simply said some words of thanks, said hello to everyone, and moved to another banquet hall next to him.
This ballroom was prepared for the dinner later, and another banquet hall of the same size was set up next to it for the celebration of the event.
A giant poster was hung on the back of the Grand Ballroom, and the huge "Box Office Breaking 400 Million Celebration Conference" was in the middle.
Reporters on the scene were already in place, and photographers from all directions fiddled with their cameras behind tripods.
Lin Xiaoguang took Wen Zhang, Bai Baihe and other crew members to the stage and waved to everyone in the audience!
After standing still, Lin Xiaoguang bowed deeply to the front and said gratefully: "Welcome to the celebration press conference of the fourth film "33 Days of Broken Love" directed by me personally and breaking through the 420 million box office!"
"Thank you all for your continued support!"
"Bang Bang ......"
After the applause stopped, Lin Xiaoguang continued to speak.
"Compared to all the seniors here, I am actually a newcomer to film. A few years ago, when I was a Huayi signed artist, I made my first movie "People in Embarrassment", I never thought that there would be this scene today, so many industry peers cheered, so many media arrived!"
"Seriously, as a director, I am especially grateful to my eldest brother, Chairman Huang Zhongjun, and President Zhonglei for their trust, and I can't do without the support of Director Feng Xiaova, thank you very much. ”
Lin Xiaoguang is giving a speech on stage.
And Huang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaowan also sat under the stage and listened.
Feng Xiaowan thought for a while, and asked puzzledly: "Zhongjun, I heard rumors that Lin Xiaoguang, this kid, plans to set up his own door, is there such a thing?"
Huang Zhongjun put away his smile and sighed heavily: "It's going to rain on this day, my mother is going to get married, Lin Xiaoguang's contract is going to leave when it expires, it's a justifiable procedure, we can't stop it if we want to?"
"According to you, this kid is going to leave?"
"That's the case. ”
Feng Xiaowan muttered dissatisfiedly: "But he is the major shareholder of our Huayi Company, and he holds more shares than mine." ”
Huang Zhongjun said earnestly: "Xiao Tank, I can understand your feelings, but I have no choice but to give him so many shares, if you didn't have to leave Huayi and go out with Zhang Guoguo to work alone, the stocks you hold now will definitely be a lot more than Lin Xiaoguang." ”
When Feng Xiaowan heard Huang Zhongjun say this, he was a little speechless.
Who can be blamed for this? Only the small tank himself can be blamed.
Although there are not as many stocks as Lin Xiaoguang, Huang Zhongjun's support for himself is far more or less than that of Lin Xiaoguang, which Feng Xiaowan himself knows.
What's more, the three movies Lin Xiaoguang made in Huayi are all medium-level investments, and the purpose is to make money, without the kind of "literary and youthful disease" that Feng Xiaowan has.
If it weren't for Feng Xiaotank's deep plot of literary films, Huayi Brothers would not have spent a lot of money to invest in "Tangpai Earthquake", fortunately, Feng Xiaowan was indeed competitive, and helped Huayi make a lot of money with this movie.
and the preparation for the filming of "Assembly" back then, even if he didn't see any possibility of making a profit, in order to help Feng Xiaogang realize his ideals, Huang Zhongjun still insisted on creating an environment for Feng Xiaogang to explore, and Feng Xiaowan was just to shoot the first Chinese war blockbuster.
After so many years of personnel changes and betrayals, Huang Zhongjun has long been downcast, what Huayi brothers, this so-called "brother", is simply nonsense.
Even now, Huang Zhongjun still remembers that Feng Xiaowan cried and said to himself that he was the same as Huang Zhonglei and "Huayi Brothers", and then not long after the words were finished, Feng Xiaowan followed Zhang Guoli and Liu Zhengyun out to "fool around"......
Although later, Feng Xiaowan returned to Huayi, but Huang Zhongjun knew very well that Feng Xiaotank, like Lin Xiaoguang, would have to leave sooner or later.
Now, in this huge Huayi Group, a listed group with hundreds of people, Huang Zhongjun can really be trusted, and only his younger brother Huang Zhonglei is needed.
At this moment, after remembering the difficulties of filming the movie, Lin Xiaoguang, on behalf of the crew, smashed an ice sculpture with the words "400 million", saying that the box office of "33 Days of Broken Love" will not stop there.
"I hope this movie can exceed 500 million!"
