The rumors about Peng Yichen's "minimum box office breaking 550 million" were soon in the ears of Gu Jiahui, chairman of Huimin Film and Television Group.

For "Journey to the West", the first film to be filmed by the group after its listing, Gu Jiahui is still very concerned.

Therefore, when the movie was about to be released, he still specially invited Peng Yichen and Sun Yizou to his house for dinner.

Gu Jiahui is full of worries, Peng Yichen and the Chen Jing Film Company led by him are one of the key cores of the steady rise in the stock price of Huimin Film and Television Group after its listing.

But Gu Jiahui is cheerful, and this young man seems to be starting to inflate himself a little now.

You must know that he has seen too many young geniuses in his life, and at the most glorious time of his life, because of his pride and arrogance, he made a mistake and fell from the clouds, and he has been in a state of collapse ever since.

If Peng Yichen, the "miracle of the new generation of Chinese films", fails completely, then this will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Huimin Film and Television Group and even the entire Chinese film market.

Huimin Film and Television Group, as the "first stock of Huaxia Film Company", is now standing on the opposite side of the first state-owned company of Huaxia Film and Television - CCTV Group.

At the same time, they also have to face the pressure of Hollywood studios.

couldn't help but Gu Jiahui was not cautious about Peng Yichen's future development, for fear that this young man would become the fuse for the collapse of Huimin Film and Television.

……

Sitting at his own dinner table, Gu Jiahui quickly found an opportunity, and quietly persuaded Peng Yichen on the surface:

"Peng Dong, there is a couplet in "The Analects", I like it very much: Zhuge is only cautious in his life, and Lu Duan is not confused about major matters. We Chinese people have always advocated 'modesty and prudence', which is an attitude towards things and a philosophy of life.

In the past, Peng Dong did a very good job in this regard, and he was very low-key. But recently, when facing the media, your words and deeds are inevitably a little too high-profile. Although we should set a larger box office target for "Journey to the West". But there is no need to speak to the media and the public.

After all, there is always a case in everything, if the goal you said is not achieved in the end, then your words today will be used by the media as the best weapon to attack you tomorrow. It will have an adverse impact on Chen Jing Film and Television Company and Huimin Film and Television Group.

You know what I say!"

Peng Yichen listened to Gu Jiahui's words very quietly, and the expression on his face showed that he agreed with Gu Jiahui's words very much.

But in the end, he still smiled and explained: "Compared with "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", our advantage is very small. As the screenwriter, director and starring of "Journey to the West", if my attitude is not high-profile, our film is likely to be drowned out by the propaganda offensive of CCTV Film Group. ”

"Although the box office of "Journey to the West" is very important, it is nothing compared to the public image and film brand you have built up in the past few years......" Gu Jiahui said meaningfully looking at Peng Yichen.

For Huimin Film and Television Group, as long as "Journey to the West" does not lose money, it will not affect the group's stock performance.

You must know that although "Journey to the West" claims to have an investment of 300 million, the actual total investment is only 170 million.

Therefore, as long as the final box office exceeds 400 million, it will definitely be able to return to its original cost.

Coupled with the income from later copyright operations and overseas releases, the film can make huge profits.

Therefore, Gu Jiahui does not expect to make huge profits through the box office, but he pays more attention to the brand image that Peng Yichen has established in the Chinese film market in recent years, will he be hurt because of this movie......

"If "Journey to the West" is a bad movie, of course my image will be hit hard because of this incident. But if "Journey to the West" is a classic movie in the eyes of the audience, then no matter whether the final box office result achieves the goal I said or not, my reputation will not be hurt. Even if the box office of the movie is really bad, fans will be upset for me.

Therefore, this is also the real reason why capital can never fully occupy the film market. Because this is a market where work is king, not capital. Peng Yichen said very easily, and the connotation in his words was also meaningful.

Gu Jiahui thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded, choosing to continue to believe in this young man who had created many miracles.

Seeing that Gu Jiahui had understood the deeper meaning of his words, he continued to smile: "Besides, CCTV Group and Huimin Film and Television Group may not be competitors in this summer file. ”

Peng Yichen put vegetables in his bowl.

When Gu Jiahui heard his words, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, letting him know that Gu Jiahui already knew that he knew who was behind the deliberate smearing of "Journey to the West" on the Internet recently, and he also knew who it was.

"They are not opponents, so who are our opponents?" Sun Yizou, who was sitting on the side, saw that the two of them had not yet spoken to the key at this time, so he simply picked up the words himself.

Peng Yichen finished eating a bite of the dish, slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, a certain excited light appeared in his eyes, looked at Gu Jiahui and Sun Yizou, and said:

"Don't forget, there's the Hollywood studios, they haven't made a move yet! We're competing against these Hollywood films.

Therefore, this summer file, the relationship between us and CCTV Group is not only a competition at the box office. From another point of view, "Journey to the West" is an opportunity for us to show our strength to Rang CCTV. We want them to understand that our private film companies are also capable of resisting the invasion of Hollywood films. ”

Speaking of this, Peng Yichen's voice was full of confidence, and his eyes flashed to say what he thought.

"Only let the Chinese filmmakers really convince us. Only Huimin Film and Television Group and Chenjing Film Company can truly become the banner of the Chinese film industry and lead the entire Chinese filmmakers on the right path of future film development. ……

Therefore, our future goal should be placed in the international film market, and our real opponent will always be only one......

Hollywood's seven major studios. ”

Peng Yichen's words made Gu Jiahui and Sun Yizou forget to eat, they glanced at each other, only to find that the other party only knew today that the young man in front of him was really ambitious.

But Hollywood is a behemoth that filmmakers all over the world can not reach, can they really stand on the opposite side of Hollywood and challenge the whole of Hollywood?

Sun Yizou probably felt that the atmosphere was too tense, so he couldn't help but say in a joking tone:

"When I was an agent in the Star Flag Country, I always had to deal with the top executives of Hollywood studios in a low voice. I didn't expect to be able to become a competitor with them one day. ”

"It's not just competitors, maybe one day they'll admit defeat, and maybe we'll be able to work with Hollywood studios. After all, to enter the North American film market, we still need a Hollywood company to help us open up distribution channels. Peng Yichen nodded as a matter of course.

"You take it seriously...... Sun Yizou replied with a smile and a smile.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Gu Jiahui's pocket on the side rang.

He confessed to Peng Yichen and Gu Jiahui, then turned around and walked out of the restaurant to answer the phone.

Soon, he walked back to the restaurant and announced a shocking news to Peng Yichen and Gu Jiahui.

Just when the three of them were eating, in the Huaxia Movie Theater in Hollywood, California, far away in the Star Flag Country, a press conference had just been held.

Hollywood's seven major studios have unveiled their plans to promote Asian films to the world.

In this plan, the seven major Hollywood congresses announced that they will jointly enter the Chinese film market, increase cooperation with local Chinese filmmakers, and further promote the plan of Hollywood film culture.

At the end of the press conference, they also announced the time when Hollywood movies will be released in China during the summer vacation.

On June 20, "Devil Terminator 2018" was released in China, a series of movies that was once the famous work of Hollywood director Cameron. Now this sequel, although Cameron is not the director, still has gained the attention of fans around the world who love this series of movies.

On June 29, Paramount's "Transformers 2" was released in China. You must know that the Star Flag Country movies in this world today have the highest degree of overlap with Peng Yichen's previous life is the manga movie.

Therefore, since "Transformers 1" became a global hit in 2007, Peng Yichen has been paying attention to this series and Marvel's comic book movie series.

The release of "Transformers 2" this time will be a bombshell for the entire Chinese film market.

On July 10, "Harry Potter 6: The Half-Blood Prince" was released by Hua Na Company. The "Harry Potter" film series is the highest-grossing film series in the world in the history of Hua Na. The impact on the Chinese film market and the attraction of Chinese film audiences are obvious.

On July 31, "The Flying House" invested and distributed by Disney and produced by Pixar Animation Studios and "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra" produced by Paramount Pictures were released in China.

In just one and a half months, Hollywood Film Company will release 5 heavyweight film works in China.

It contains science fiction, comics, magic, action, and animation, which are the five most popular movie genres in Hollywood.

All of them are movies with the best performance in terms of visual effects.

And "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" and "Journey to the West" will directly face these 5 Hollywood movies "encircled and blocked".

Everyone can see that the determination of Hollywood film companies to win this Chinese summer file and the intention to besiege Chinese domestic films can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

At this time, Gu Jiahui and Sun Yizou looked at each other, and they found that what Peng Yichen said just now had become a reality.

Regardless of whether Chinese filmmakers are willing to accept it or not, the war between Chinese domestic films and Hollywood films has broken out in an all-round way.

One of their most important questions now is who can bring Chinese movies and win the final victory in the face of Hollywood's aggressive offensive in Hollywood.
