Chapter 68: Box Office

The appearance of Jin Han quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Nowadays, the status of Minghu culture in the domestic film and television circle is extraordinary, in the rise stage of the first two years, although the three domestic old three have suppressed Minghu culture, but once they found that they could not suppress it, they quickly changed their thinking. At this time, the relationship was basically restored, so Hu Fei and Yuan Ke, the two big bosses, also rushed over in person to attend the premiere of "Dragon Gate Inn".

The two bosses came over to say hello and chat a few words, and then walked away.

Purely polite.

To put it bluntly, Jin Han may be regarded as a treasure by Li Qian, but for other film companies, although he has been sitting in the position of director of Minghu Culture Film and Television for several years, a director who has not proven his box office strength actually has no status or importance at all.

Don't say that you have to resist the pressure of tearing up with Minghu culture and offending Li Qian, at this stage, a director like Jin Han, don't look at it, he is also in Cannes, but if you want to make a new movie, you can go to a boss at the level of Hu Fei and Yuan Ke to pull investment, it may not be possible to ask grandpa to sue grandma.

There is no shortage of directors in China!

And there is no shortage of literary film directors.

What is missing is a good commercial director who can sell well!

Therefore, the two bigwigs in the domestic film and television industry can come over to say hello and say a few words and send a few blessings, more than ninety percent of them are for the sake of the "Minghu Cultural Film and Television Director", not for Jin Han.

Representatives from other film and television companies and production companies also came over to shake hands and say a few words, but to be honest, it won't be too enthusiastic - Jin Han, a director who has won an award in Europe, is already a big director in their eyes, in fact, if it is a different person, everyone is probably willing to win over.

Make a literary film, invest a little, let the director show his talent to the fullest, and then sell it in Europe, after all, Jin Han is also a little famous and small in Europe, in case it is approved, it will be a big sale, then it will make a lot of money - many small and medium-sized film and television production companies in China have this business idea.

But the question is, Jin Han is the film and television director of Minghu Culture, Li Qian's right-hand man, and now he has begun to transform into making commercial films, and as soon as he makes a move, Li Qian gave him a book - is it possible for him to go to your small film company and direct the kind of small film with an investment of three or five million?

So, a few polite words, blessings are sent, and people are decisively flashed.

At present, there is no value to attract it, and it cannot be pulled.

To tell the truth, feeling everyone's perfunctory attitude, Jin Han is quite unpleasant in his heart - he is not stupid, whether the bosses value it or not, for the current film director, it is the most powerful evaluation!

In contrast, several peers and directors in the circle, especially the senior brothers and sisters from the Suncheon Film Academy, are still relatively warm-hearted, at least they feel cordial, and the blessings of others are much more sincere.

But the problem is that they are friends, and they are far inferior to themselves in the circle, and they don't fart as loudly as they speak, and the blessings are sincere, that is, they laugh and thank you.

Of course, there are still people who really value Jin Han.

actors, and agents.

No matter how Jin Han doesn't have a high status in the film circle, after all, he is also a person who has walked through Cannes, and he is enough to be considered to be able to praise people after winning a Cannes movie, plus regardless of the movie, the TV series directed by director Jin Han before, the ratings are very good.

Not to mention the young actors who rub their faces and sneak in in a vain attempt to get a familiar face with the bigwigs in the circle, even if there are many popular stars in Minghu Culture who already have heads and faces, they have to talk to him politely.

Maybe if you have the right eye, you can cooperate in the next play?

Who would have too many dramas in Minghu culture?

Minghu Culture's play, unless it is really inappropriate, who is willing to push it away?

Besides, what if "Dragon Gate Inn" becomes popular?

Now it's a sycophant, it's a cold stove, isn't it?

…………

Seeing that there were less than 20 minutes left before the opening of the movie premiere, and the guests who should have arrived early, Huang Wenjuan, who was responsible for helping Jin Han and them organize the premiere ceremony, took the lead in sending invitations to all the guests and inviting everyone to take a seat in the screening hall.

So the crowd poured out of the living room and went to the screening room, where they took their seats.

Jin Han had a smile on his face, nodded and smiled all the way to the unknown people he knew, and when the people were more than half gone, he relaxed a little, and turned his head to see that there were still many people in Minghu Culture's own house staying in the living room, so he rushed over there - at this time, his family members came over to send their blessings.

What should be said should be talked about, when the first cut is completed, the fine cut is completed, the release version is completed, and so on, it has already been talked about, at this time, Li Qian just smiled and asked: "How is it, Lao Jin, are you nervous?

Jin Han took out a cigarette and lit it, and smiled hehehe, "Expectation is really anticipation, and nervousness is really nervous." ”

Everyone laughed alongside.

Turning his head to look over there, He Yingyu was still surrounded by a few people who hadn't left until now, and he couldn't hear what he was talking about, Jin Han couldn't help but sigh, "Xiaoyu is really popular! I hope she can give this movie more box office!"

When he said this, three points of emotion and three points of expectation, and four points, with some indescribable complicated meanings.

He saw it from the moment he stood at the door to greet him, and when he entered the living room, he glanced over from time to time -- He Yingyu is really red! The bosses of large and small film companies, investors, directors and producers of all walks of life, and even some screenwriters, everyone is willing to come to her, even if it is just a familiar look. Even the theater party, which has always been above the top, is very polite to He Yingyu.

There is no way, the box office of "The Matrix" has exploded to this extent, at least in the Chinese film circle, in the Chinese film market, Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu are really popular.

No one compares.

Zhou Baoshan went to Southeast Asia and couldn't come back, so of course He Yingyu was the focus of the audience.

In contrast, although there are still several famous popular little flowers sitting in this room, such as Cheng Suhua, such as Qin Jingjing, such as Jiang Yiyi, such as Liu Yan, such as Zhao Qing, such as Zhao Yingying...... There are even characters like Bai Yujing. But in the face of her heat, it seems that she is not enough to see.

You know, if others don't say it, Jiang Yiyi has been popular recently!

When walking the red carpet outside the door, the audience shouted cheers, shouting "Huang Rong", and the reporters were also desperately taking pictures, but it was useless, and when they came here, the bosses of several small film companies would shine in their eyes when they saw her, and the big bosses and directors didn't pay much attention to her.

The people who really want to deal with her don't dare at all - the circle says that she is Li Qian's forbidden body. No matter how beautiful and smart he is, he can't offend Li Qian for a woman.

sighed in his heart, whether he admits it or not, Jin Han does have some expectations and some pride-Jin Han originally thought that it might be better to let Bai Yujing play the proprietress in "Dragon Gate Inn", and Lao Bai's current acting path is also wide and popular enough, but Li Qian's "The Matrix" decided He Yingyu, he thought about it all night, got up the next day, and decided to change He Yingyu.

There's no way, the acting skills can't be done, you can teach and grind slowly, but popularity and box office appeal are not something you can have if you want to have it - if Zhou Baoshan's schedule wasn't full, "The Matrix" would be on "Shaolin Temple" next to it, and he wanted to pull them both over.

Now that Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu are partnered, they can still borrow a little bit of the light of the "Best Screen Couple" in "My Sassy Girlfriend" in terms of publicity, which can be regarded as a better choice in addition to Zhou Baoshan.

Needless to say, since it is going to the box office, of course, from the step of selecting actors, we must start to consider the later publicity and release.

And in his judgment, since "The Matrix" was made by Li Qian, it will be popular, so whether it is Zhou Baoshan, who failed to pull it, or He Yingyu, who successfully pulled it, it is a good leverage.

Now, it turns out that I can borrow a lot of energy.

He couldn't help but ask Li Qian: "How much is the box office of "The Matrix" now?"

Li Qian thought about it when he heard this, turned his head to look at people, Qi Jie was not there, and Qin Nuo was not there, but Li Qian really hadn't seen the box office for more than ten days - since he was sure that "The Matrix" had overtaken the invincible "Jurassic Park 2" in the North American market, he didn't pay much attention to the box office.

So at this time, the strange thing is that he, the director, doesn't know how much box office his movie has - hesitated for a moment, he said: "There should be more than 700 million in China, right? North America...... $350 million?"

A bunch of people felt weird in their hearts.

But everyone knows very well in their hearts that Li Qian is such a person, he really didn't mean to pretend to be forced - if someone else is the director of "The Matrix", it is estimated that even the single digits of the box office will have to be remembered, the key is that this is the unprecedented highest-grossing film in the history of Chinese films, and it is the first movie in history to truly achieve global simultaneous sales, this force is enough to pretend for a lifetime!

But this matter rests on Li Qian, people really don't keep all their minds on this movie, they really don't care too much about these things in the past, and it is really normal that they can't remember or know their current real-time box office.

Or you can understand that Li Qian's way of pretending to be forced is more unusual, several levels higher than the domestic LO who are eager to write box office figures on their faces so that anyone can see them at a glance.

Anyway, I just think he's more awesome.

But fortunately, the rescuer came back at this time.

After dealing with those investors, He Yingyu felt a little proud, and was thinking about the helplessness in Ming Xiaojing's eyes just now, and couldn't help but snort, and when she came over, she happened to hear Jin Han asking about the box office, and then heard Li Qian's answer.

She immediately felt that in terms of forced qualifications and ranks, she was really a little lower.

As soon as he was sought after by a few small bosses who were a little bit out of money, and as soon as he was sought after by a rookie director like Ming Xiaojing who had not really hit the road, he felt that it was a cow, but the real big bull actually didn't take this seriously at all.

She walked over and said with a smile: "It's 870 million in China, and it is said that as of last Sunday, the box office in North America has exceeded 410 million US dollars." According to Mr. Du, last week, those box office forecasting agencies in the United States re-released a new round of box office predictions for "The Matrix", originally they didn't think that the optimistic estimate of the North American box office could exceed 400 million US dollars, but now it has been adjusted, saying that the minimum will not be less than 500 million US dollars, optimistic estimates, there is hope to impact the "Titanic" of more than 700 million US dollars. The global box office estimate has not increased much, only from $1.3 billion to $1.45 billion. ”

Her string of data was reported, her words were clear, and the data was accurate, showing that she was really concerned about the box office - Jin Han couldn't help but "tsk" continuously, smiled and sighed inexplicably, and squinted her eyes, looking leisurely, I don't know what beautiful picture I thought.

Li Qian thought for a while and said: "It's more than a month, the follow-up potential is limited, and it is estimated that it can't climb so high, these box office forecasting agencies ignore everyone's curiosity psychological problems, topic popularity and excessive consumption of potential moviegoers...... I estimate that the top of the sky is to get another 100 million US dollars, more than 500 million, it's about the same, and further up, there is not much hope. If you want to catch up with the $700 million North American box office of "Titanic", it is even more foolish. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head with a smile, "What Mr. Du told you must be more than that, right? North America can get 500 million, but there is about a chance that China will get more than 1 billion......"

After thinking about it, he said: "Take a look, it can't be passed, so far at the box office, it has basically squeezed out the potential of the market." ”

Jin Han "tsk" again, and said: "The world's 13.4 billion US dollars! Except for "Titanic", almost all of them have been killed, right?"

This data is still He Yingyu's most familiar, she opened her mouth to come, "At present, the second place in the global box office list is the first "Jurassic Park", which is 1.23 billion US dollars. Looking at it now, the hope is great, and I am not small. ”

Li Qian smiled, but he didn't feel surprised at all about He Yingyu's familiarity and attention to the box office situation - to put it mildly, even if she makes a film in the future, including the drama "The Matrix", she can leave a name in Chinese film history. Follow-up sequels one after another, no matter how mixed they are, they are already guaranteed, and they won't be too bad.

She certainly had reason to be so closely watched and cared for.

At this time, he just turned his head to look at Jin Han and said, "Lao Jin, it is estimated that he will be asked about the box office later, how much are you going to say outside?"

…………

In the pre-screening interaction and interview session, when a reporter asked this question, Jin Han smiled and replied: "The script of "Dragon Gate Inn" was given by our Qian'er Ye, I am full of confidence for this story, the heroes and heroines of this play bring together actors like He Yingyu, Zhou Zhiyu and Cheng Subottle, I am full of confidence for these actors and their performances, and for myself, I am also full of confidence, so I ......"

"I hope that the box office of this movie can exceed 600 million!"

When the audience heard this, there was an uproar.
