The next day, "Jin Yiwei" landed on the big screen of hundreds of movie theaters across the country and was officially released.

The advantages of a number of co-productions were finally fully apparent at the time of their official release, Shanghai Lianhe Cinema Line, China Film Xingmei, Southern Film Shinkansen, Bei'jing Wanda Cinema Line, four of the country's eight major cinema chains, hundreds of cinemas, and thousands of big screens were released at the same time.

That's the advantage of co-productions by major studios!

In March, there was a lack of high-quality movies in the film market, and the major film companies involved in the investment of "Jin Yiwei" made efforts, and on the first day of the release of "Jin Yiwei", it was co-screened in four major theaters at the same time.

It's huge.

In addition, the report of the film's premiere yesterday afternoon to this morning, the reports of major media have successively faced the audience, film critics and audiences attending the premiere, as well as the investment of Wen Ugly said that the box office of this film can exceed 500 million, and the attraction to the audience can be imagined.

If the praise of film critics and audiences, as well as Wen Chou's box office prediction of 500 million, are not enough, then look at the investment scale of this movie - more than 100 million, and the star lineup - Donnie Yen, Zhao Wei, Hong Jinbao, Wu Yan, Wu Zhu, Dao Xinyi, Chen Guanzhu......

Let's take a look at the director - Li Rengang.

has gathered such a strong star lineup, coupled with well-known big directors and a large investment of over 100 million, at this time, coupled with the ~ word-of-mouth of film critics and premiere audiences, as well as Wen Chou's 500 million box office prediction.

In this off-season market, how many fans who are eager to see good movies can sit still? Don't want to go into the cinema immediately to get a sneak peek?

Of course, if you say you are poor "**" silk. I can't afford to buy a movie ticket, or I can't afford to buy a movie ticket to go to the cinema. Anyway, like you, no matter what movie is released. I don't think you will even walk into the cinema.

……

This morning, Lu Yang sat in front of the computer with a small teapot of purple sand, looking over and over again the new script "The Manuscript of Captain of Time and Space 1 Li Bo" written last night, to see what still needs to be revised.

The mood is relaxed and cozy.

From time to time, he reformatted the text on the document, which is a habit of him, he doesn't like the dense arrangement of the text in his works, and a paragraph can make people's eyes look at it. This is not a historical work, and there is no need to use this kind of typography to appear heavy.

When he wrote last night. I just want to write this story out as much as I can, and I don't care much about the typography, some paragraphs have too many words, and when I look back today, I feel uncomfortable, and I just split the long paragraph into several paragraphs.

As for whether this kind of segmentation is in line with the code of conduct? He never thinks about it in this way, he only seeks to be comfortable for himself and his readers.

The Q'Q hanging on the line sounded Didi's message prompt from time to time, and Lu Yang only glanced at it at most, but he didn't use the mouse to click on the message to see it.

It's not that he's putting on a big show. But this morning, since seven or eight o'clock in the morning, his q'q has been ringing constantly, and there are constantly authors or book fans who have sent messages to him to tell him about "Jinyiwei". At first, I read some and replied to some, but later Lu Yang saw that there were too many people who sent similar messages. He simply ignored it, intending to wait for the afternoon or evening. Unified responses.

An author sent a message and asked him if he really predicted that the box office of "Jinyiwei" would exceed 500 million at the premiere yesterday?

There are also authors who send messages. In a mocking tone, he asked him if he could give them a few movie tickets.

Some fans sent messages to congratulate him on the release of another movie, and some fans sent messages to say that they would go to the cinema to buy tickets to support him today, tomorrow or a few days later......

It's nothing more than these, at about 9 o'clock, Wang Lin suddenly called, and as soon as the phone was connected, Lu Yang heard the noisy and noisy voices of people and cars on his side.

Wang Lin's voice was very pleasant, and he said to Lu Yang on the phone: "Wenda! I just walked four movie theaters in Shanghai in succession, and I have good news for you! In the four movie theaters I just visited, at the ticket office, there are many fans queuing up to buy tickets, and most of them are buying tickets for our "Jin Yiwei"! Not to mention that the tickets for the first screening are all sold out, and the tickets for the second show are almost sold out! Look at this trend, as long as the audience who has seen our movie today can give praise, we can make a lot of money this time! Haha! Wenda! We're going to have a good celebration this time!

On the phone, Wang Lin's good mood was directly conveyed to Lu Yang.

"Okay! If we can pass 500 million, let's hold a celebration banquet!" Lu Yang said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Wang Lin's first reaction was this, and he asked in disbelief: "Wenda! You can't tell the truth, do you? It really costs 500 million? I thought you were just talking about it yesterday!"

"Haha!"

Lu Yang was amused by him and laughed, Wang Lin continued to ask him if he was serious, but Lu Yang said, "Guess!"

Until the end of this call, Lu Yang did not tell Wang Lin that he was not serious just now.

……

In the next few days, the box office numbers of "Jin Yiwei" were released one after another, as Lu Yang expected, and as most people in the outside world expected, this movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan and a luxurious star lineup was very beautiful at the box office a few days ago.

The box office number on the first day of release exceeded 20 million, and the next day, the box office still exceeded 20 million, and it was still the same on the third day.

The box office in the first three days was 20.16 million, 21.24 million, and 21.75 million respectively.

On many news on March 10, it was revealed that the total box office of "Jinyiwei" had exceeded 100 million in 5 days of release.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning of this day, in the general manager's office of the headquarters of Shanghai Film Group, General Manager Huang, who was over 50 years old, took a few glances at the box office report that the secretary had just handed him, closed his eyes a little tiredly, sighed, threw the report on the desk in front of him, and sighed: "I was still too cautious! I knew that this movie could be like this, when Li Rengang came to the door to attract investment, I should have invested tens of millions more, and now that this movie is a big hit, we can just share some soup and water with Shangying!" Okay! I see, you get out!"

"Yes! Mr. Huang!"

The secretary didn't dare to show any affection. answered softly, and quietly exited Mr. Huang's office.

After a while. In the quiet luxury office, Mr. Huang's eyes opened again. Picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number to go out.

As soon as the phone rang, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Director Li! Haha! What are you busy with now? Are you still in Shanghai now? Do you have time at noon? I'll be the east! How about we have a glass of wine together? The box office of "Jin Yiwei" will exceed 100 million yuan so soon, I want to thank you on behalf of us on the film!

On the phone, Li Rengang smiled and said, "Well, thank you for Mr. Huang's hospitality! I'm really still here in Shanghai now, I'm sorry Mr. Huang! Mr. Zhou from Tianxiang has just made an appointment with me, and Mr. Zhou happened to be in Shanghai these two days, and he also invited me to drink at noon." I've just agreed, or what's going on tonight? I'll invite you tonight?"

"What?"

Mr. Huang was stunned: "Tianxiang's Zhou Yun has invited you, and he is also in Shanghai now?"

Li Rengang: "Hehe, yes Mr. Huang! I'm really embarrassed!"

Mr. Huang had a disappointed look on his face at first, but he rolled his eyes twice, and then regained a warm smile, and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! I think Zhou Yun invited Director Li to thank you for making such a good film for us! Then I'll invite you with Zhou Yun at noon! Don't worry! Zhou Yun's side, I immediately called him and told him, I think, he will still give me this little face!"

Li Rengang: "Oh? As long as Mr. Zhou doesn't mind, I'm fine!"

……

At the end of the call with Li Rengang, the enthusiastic smile on Mr. Huang's face receded. There seemed to be a shadow on his face, and Zhou Yun made an appointment with Li Rengang in advance. He could guess, because this was also the purpose for him to invite Li Rengang.

Zhou Yun took the lead! This is for them Shanghai Film Group. Not a good sign.

Thinking about it with a gloomy face, he still dialed Zhou Yun's phone, and when he communicated with Zhou Yun, he regained his enthusiastic smile and attitude, as he expected, although Zhou Yun hesitated for his request, he still didn't save his face and agreed to him.

After ending the call, Mr. Huang did not put down the phone in his hand, dialed the phone of the internal secretary again, and instructed on the phone: "Notify the copyright department! Let them send me the best two scripts immediately! Well, the scripts of costume action movies! Let them hurry up! I will use them!"

"Okay! Mr. Huang!"

At this point, after Mr. Huang put down the phone, he temporarily relaxed, but there was still a thoughtful look in his eyes.

When fans watch a movie, what they remember is generally the leading actor of the movie, either the male protagonist or the female protagonist, and occasionally it may be a supporting role who plays very well.

But Mr. Huang is different from his film company, and what the film company values most is often a talented and powerful director! Because in their view, film is the art of the director! It is the work of the director!

The director is the soul of a movie, and the director is the controller of the tone and main line of the whole film, with the same actors, the same investment, and even the same script, and the works made by different directors, the styles and emphases expressed will be completely different.

Therefore, a director who can make blockbuster movies is what all film companies dream of.

Tianxiang's Zhou Yun wants Li Rengang to help them make another movie, and the same is true of Mr. Huang of Shanghai Film Group, Li Rengang has just made a box office hit "Jin Yiwei", according to common sense, as long as the theme of his next movie is similar to "Jin Yiwei", even if the box office is not as good as "Jin Yiwei", he will not lose money, and he can make a fortune!

In other words, as long as Li Rengang can be persuaded to invest in the next film, it can almost be said that he will make a profit without losing money, there is such a good thing, who is willing to be left behind?

……

On Li Rengang's side, his mobile phone rang again.

The person who called this time was Mr. Xiang of Xinglin Company, and Xinglin Company is also one of the investors of "Jinyiwei".

Mr. Xiang didn't ask him to drink on the phone, because Mr. Xiang was not in Shanghai at the moment, so he simply explained his meaning directly on the phone, expressing his hope that Director Li could help their company make a movie, how much investment was needed, and which leading actors needed to be invited.

When Li Rengang euphemistically said that he needed to think about it, and said that "Jin Yiwei" had just been released, and he also needed to take a break for a while.

Mr. Xiang followed up and said that if Director Li is unwilling to accept to make a separate movie for Xinglin Company, if Director Li has a new script, it is okay for them to participate in the investment.

After this phone call, Li Rengang received calls from the bosses of seven or eight film companies, some of which were mainland film companies, and three of which were Hong Kong.

Some people directly explained their intentions, and some people pulled relationships and friendships with him, because of the previous phone calls, when Li Rengang answered the next few calls, his heart was already as bright as a mirror.

knows that these high-ranking film company CEOs in the past, the reason why they are all brothers and sisters with him today is nothing more than seeing that "Jin Yiwei" is a box office hit, and they want to recruit him to make movies for them.

This encounter made him feel very emotional.

For most of the half a year before the filming of "Jin Yiwei", he took the script of "Jin Yiwei", and how many film companies did he run to attract investment?

What was the situation at that time?

At the beginning, almost no one was optimistic about the box office of this movie, and they all said that in the current film market, costume martial arts films have long declined.

If it weren't for Lu Yang suddenly saying that he could invest 50 million in him, he would have asked Donnie Yen to star, and Donnie Yen would have followed closely because of the release of "Ip Man", which became popular across the Taiwan Strait and became famous, and I am afraid that no one will be willing to invest in "Jinyiwei" in the future.

What makes Li Rengang strange is that the CEOs of so many film companies have personally called him this morning, but Lu Yang has not moved.

He heard that Lu Yang had invited Wu Yan and was preparing to invest in a series of movies, and the investment plan for the first part was hundreds of millions.

Doesn't he want me to direct?

Li Rengang was puzzled, but he still decided to wait a little longer!

He has a good impression of Lu Yang now, not only because Lu Yang first took a fancy to his script "Jin Yiwei" and promised him an investment of 50 million as soon as he opened his mouth, but also because Lu Yang gave him several suggestions, looking back now, they are all beneficial to the quality of "Jin Yiwei".

Whether it is the starring candidate he recommended, or the modification of the plot of the script, especially Lu Yang, in order to make the ending of the movie exciting enough, he took the initiative to increase his investment, but he must add a role of Wu Yan, as well as Hong Jinbao's play.

Li Rengang had never encountered this kind of thing before.

The investors he has contacted in the past wish he could compress the investment again and again, and let him delete the characters and plots in the script to save the investment in the film, and he has met investors more than once.

But Lu Yang is not like this, he would rather increase investment and ensure the quality of the film. Such an investor, Li Rengang likes it in his heart. (To be continued......)
