"The X-Files" began airing on November 2 and has been airing for a month now, with a total of 4 episodes.

Like the original time and space, "The X-Files" swept the TV series of the same time period as soon as it came out.

The first episode had 36 million viewers, the second episode went directly to 40 million, and now the fourth episode has been broadcast, and it has reached 48 million viewers.

No market expert thinks that the end of The X-Files is now.

In fact, everyone believes that the number of viewers of "The X-Files" should be at least maintained at about 55 million, and if it does not collapse later, the average viewership of 60 million will not be able to impact it.

If it can really reach 60 million viewers, then a divine drama will be born, and it will be ranked after "Wind x Doctor x Nurse" and "Happy Hotel" as the third TV series of the year.

Boy!

If this really happens, then two of the top three TV dramas in North America are Disney TV channels, which is really terrifying and envious!

Even ABC is panicking, no matter how it continues, Disney TV channel directly set up a TV network, then there is no problem.

At that time, the value of ABC will be greatly reduced.

At this time, in addition to worrying that the Disney TV channel was too strong, they also regretted that they had let a talent like Robert Iger to Disney so easily.

Now that Robert Iger is doing well on the Disney TV channel, he has become a problem on the heart of ABC, and I really regret that he didn't do it at the beginning!

ABC's reaction is aside.

As the creators of "The X-Files", Yu Yunkang and Chen Xunqi are now very famous in the American entertainment industry.

Of course, it's not that the drama is a god, because before "The X-Files", they already had a very amazing "Chainsaw".

"Saw Horror" is not only a model of small and big at the box office, but also its reputation is very good, which is also reflected in the videotape rental market.

The world's "Chainsaw" videotape has sold 10 million copies.

Based on the price of about $30 a videotape, the entire sales volume is $300 million!

Hollywood giants like United Arts Pictures have never accepted buyouts from video tape chains and businessmen, they all choose their share.

According to the proportion of sharing, even if all taxes and so on are deducted, there can be 30% of the net profit, that is, 90 million US dollars!

This money is not far from the net profit obtained from the entire $387 million box office.

And the videotapes are sold for a long time, and it is not a problem for a good videotape to be sold for more than ten years - the videotape of "The Godfather" has been sold for thirty or forty years, and many people buy the same every year!

The box office is strong, and the video tape market is also thriving, with such good results, the second part of "Chainsaw" has begun to be approved, just waiting for Yu Yunkang and Chen Xunqi to start preparations.

A super-grossing movie.

A super popular TV series.

has achieved two successes in a row, and there is no doubt that Yu Yunkang and his partner Chen Xunqi have entered the eyes of many people.

For example, Michael Eisner, the vice president of Paramount, who has always been unaccustomed to watching Yin Jun, wants to invite the two to dinner today.

Orientals pay more attention to details and think more than people in Europe and the United States.

Yu Yunkang and Chen Xunqi have been in Hollywood for more than a year, and of course they know the situation of the Kirin Group in Hollywood.

Basically, it was resisted and isolated by the other six giants.

That is, Yin Jun's strength is strong enough, so strong that the Hollywood giants have no way to suppress Disney and United Arts Films, so they persisted.

They are not young people in their teens or twenties, they are not hairy boys, and of course they will think a lot.

Michael Eisner invited them to dinner, definitely to make contact with them, to see if he could poach them.

First, the two of them are indeed excellent directors and producers, and if they go to work at Paramount, they will definitely bring something different to Paramount.

Second, if they are poached, it will be a huge loss to the Qilin Group, which will make Yin Jun lose his troops, which will kill two birds with one stone.

Poaching is common in Hollywood, and the same is true in Xiangjiang.

Yu Yunkang and Chen Xunqi were not familiar with each other before.

has been cooperating for more than a year, because the crew is that the two of them are Chinese, and they must work together to suppress the people below and shoot good works, so they have been very familiar with each other from the initial run-in.

People who are alone in a foreign country are of course more likely to get closer.

In the face of Michael Eisner's wooing, the two directly bought a table of braised vegetables and cold dishes from Chinatown, carried two dozen beers, and sat in the apartment rented by the company, chatting while eating.

"Lao Yu, what do you think?" Chen Xunqi touched a glass with him before asking with a smile.

"Not very good. Yu Yunkang was not polite, he was originally a very direct person, "This gringo has bad intentions and has no good intentions." ”

"Then you just refused?" Chen Xunqi asked again.

"What if you don't refuse?" Yu Yunkang glanced at him, "Are you going to go all the way to the thief?"

"Haha!"

Chen Xunqi ate a piece of pig's head meat, "How is it possible? Do I look like such a stupid person? If I don't hug Jun Shao, a real golden thigh, I'll pay attention to him? This gringo is too self-righteous, and he invited us so openly, isn't this giving us eye medicine? Deliberately making Jun Shao suspect us?"

"Well, you have a point. Yu Yunkang frowned, "Do we need to call Jun Shao?"

Yu Yunkang is an honest man, a stubborn honest man, but this does not mean that he will not treat others.

If it's someone else's intentional discord, it's really not easy to do.

"No, I don't. Chen Xunqi shook his head, "Let's just do our own things seriously." Others don't know how we succeeded, but we only know that half of this success is because of Jun Shao's good book!"

Yu Yunkang agrees with this.

The scripts written by Yin Jun are really fantastic, and after they have studied them carefully, they can only play on the basis of these two scripts, and dare not say that they have changed their basic structure.

If there is no book of "Saw Horror", there is no book of "The X-Files", how can they capture the hearts of European and American audiences?

"Besides, we are also from Xiangjiang, and we all have the same roots. Chen Xunqi said, "If we defect to Paramount, what will the people in Xiangjiang think of us? Jun Shao will pick us up, and we will pat our ass and leave? Normal people will not do this! So Jun Shao will not worry about us." ”

When British people go to the United States, they can easily accept that they are Americans.

But the Chinese are different.

As long as you go out of China, even if you change your nationality, you still think you are Chinese all your life.

As long as there are conditions, when they are old, they will inevitably want to return to their roots.

This is the nature of Chinese people.

Of course, the same is true for the older generation in Xiangjiang, who basically live in Chinatown when they go to these places in the United States, and even if they work outside, they have to go back to live here.

Although Yu Yunkang and Chen Xunqi are young people, their ideas are surprisingly similar.

"Then reject him?" Yu Yunkang looked at Chen Xunqi.

"Are you calling or am I calling?" asked Chen Xunqi, who nodded.

"I'll fight, everyone knows I have a bad temper. Yu Yunkang smiled, got up and went to the landline next to him, dialed the phone, and after saying a few words, he hung up easily.

"This guy got angry and asked me why I didn't even want to talk. After sitting down, Yu Yunkang drank up a can of beer before saying funny, "Don't he understand that as a good director and producer, what he needs is good works, not any monetary benefits!"

"Not to mention the money they Paramount gives, it's definitely not as good as Jun's. Chen Xunqi answered.

Yin Jun's salary and bonuses to his subordinates are not low.

Yu Yunkang and Chen Xunqi came to the United States to shoot "Chainsaw", and after the box office hit, the company directly sealed a big red envelope of 2 million US dollars each to the two.

2 million US dollars, which is 14 million Hong Kong dollars, which director in Xiangjiang can get 14 million Hong Kong dollars for a play?

And judging from the current success of "The X-Files", the salary they receive will not be low at all.

has money, works, honor, and can comfortably direct by yourself...... How idiot do you think they have to be to give up everything in front of them and start from scratch at Paramount?

"Money is not money, it is not that important to me. Yu Yunkang said with a smile, "The first season of "The X-Files" will be filmed this month. "Saw 2" is about to start in the spring, how are you going to spend the holidays?"

"I'm definitely going back to Xiangjiang. Chen Xunqi said without thinking.

"I'm not going back, I'm going to Europe for two months to learn about their film techniques. Yu Yun said, "It's good to have money, you can go anywhere, you can do whatever you want." ”

"Hee-hee, that's what I thought too. Chen Xunqi agreed, "It just so happens that the real estate in Xiangjiang is now plummeting, I'll go back and see if I want to buy a villa for my father and mother, they have also worked hard all their lives." ”

"Hey, when you say that, help me keep an eye on it. Yu Yun said, "My parents and my brother are also working hard, I have money now, I can repay them." ”

"Okay, then our two families can be neighbors again. Chen Xunqi said happily.

It is the nature of Chinese people to like to buy houses when they have money.

Housing prices in Xiangjiang have plummeted all the way at this time, so that they can know about it in the United States.

Now a better villa, such as Beacon Hill, 2 million to 3 million people are willing to sell.

With the income of the two of them in the United States, it is certainly more than enough to buy a few villas!
