After Jiang Hui talked with Tang Wenwen and Fang Dawen about the future development of the school intranet and Meituan.com, he continued to come to Guanghui Film and Television to take a look at the final situation of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

"How's it going, what's the attendance rate today?", Jiang Hui asked.

"Since its release on August 8, after two weeks of screenings, as of yesterday, the global box office has exceeded 500 million. But after all, it is a youth-themed movie, and after half a month of release, the box office has been declining every day, and there are already many gun versions on the Internet, and some theaters have begun to adjust the film scheduling rate of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", He Ling said.

According to this trend, Jiang Hui feels that the final box office is estimated to be about 700 million, and it is difficult to break through 800 million. But even so, this performance is much better than in the previous life.

"The cost of this film is only more than 40 million, and it is already very good to be able to achieve the current results, and it is estimated that other companies will be envious to death," Jiang Hui said.

"Yes, I heard that many film and television companies are preparing to follow the trend and shoot similar films," He Ling said.

The vice of following the trend in the film industry of the Celestial Empire has always existed, and what type of movie is sold will be swarmed. Whether it is a ghost movie, police film, martial arts film in Hong Kong and Hong Kong in the past, or a youth film brought back by Glorious Film and Television, as long as one is popular, there will be followers immediately, and these films that follow the trend are often of worrying quality, and it is easy to shoot a subject to death.

"Let them follow, there is a saying that has always been imitated, never surpassed. Glorious Film and Television will be another monument in the film and television industry of the Celestial Empire," Jiang Hui said.

"I estimate that the current film will be released until early September at most, do we want to plan a new film to prepare for New Year's Day or the Spring Festival?" said He Ling.

"It's necessary, but I'm thinking about what theme to shoot, whether to continue the youth theme or change it," Jiang Hui said.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that," He Ling said with a smile.

"What do you mean?", Jiang Hui said.

"No matter what subject you shoot, you already have a draft, and it's just a matter of choosing which one to shoot first," He Ling said.

It's really like He Ling said, in fact, Jiang Hui has already thought of several movies suitable for Guanghui Film and Television, such as "Partners of the Celestial Empire", "To Youth", "You at the Same Table", "Charlotte's Troubles" and so on, these are all films of a similar style to "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", presumably even if the box office does not reach 500 million, there is still hope for one or two hundred million. In this year, the box office of more than 100 million is already very powerful, and it has properly entered the top five at the box office.

However, Jiang Hui wanted to slow down the filming of youth-themed movies, and felt that it would be better to choose a funny one during the Spring Festival. Thinking about it, it seems that "People in Embarrassment" is the most suitable.

"If you're smart, I've thought about it, it's better to have a light-hearted and funny movie during the Spring Festival," Jiang Hui said.

"Indeed, don't shoot such sad and violent themes during the Spring Festival, otherwise you will probably be scolded at that time," He Ling said.

"I'm not afraid of being scolded, but we can't get along with the box office, it's just decided, it's easy and funny," Jiang Hui said.

"Then you talk about your creativity first, anyway, I am also the general manager of Guanghui Film and Television now, so I should have understood the plot of the film earlier", He Ling said.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and Li Chenggong, the owner of the toy group, returned to Changsha for the New Year, and at the same time, under the pressure of his lover Mannie, he was ready to divorce his wife after the New Year. As a result, after meeting Niu Geng, a senior milkman who went to Changsha to collect debts, bad luck continued at the airport. The trick of fate, Niu Geng met Li Chenggong unexpectedly all the way. The two of them were constantly embarrassed on the way, and they also encountered all kinds of people and strange things......", Jiang Hui told He Ling about the plot of "People in Embarrassment".

"My dear, you're amazing, I'm laughing to death, I think this film will definitely be popular", He Ling couldn't help but laugh and said at the end.

"Yes, every year before the Spring Festival, topics such as migrant workers' wages and Spring Festival transportation will be widely concerned, and our films revolve around these themes, interspersed with various funny links, and the box office will not be bad," Jiang Hui said.

"However, this film is estimated to only be popular in the mainland, and other places may not be able to resonate with the audience," He Ling said.

"It's true, so I'm just going to release it in the Celestial Empire. However, the two leading actors of this film need to be found separately, and our company does not have people who are very suitable for these two roles now," Jiang Hui said.

Xu Zhen plays Li Chenggong and Wang Baobao plays Niu Geng, these two roles have formed a deep-rooted impression in Jiang Hui's mind, and Jiang Hui is really not used to changing other people to perform. On the contrary, other roles can be flexibly adjusted.

Xu Zhen, who was born in 1972, is 33 years old this year, although he has starred in TV series such as "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie" and "Li Wei as an Official", but his reputation in the film industry is still not obvious for the time being. And the asking price should not be very high, after all, even if there is some fame in making a TV series, the income is not as good as the income of an actor of the same fame who makes a movie.

As for Wang Baobao, who is only 21 years old now, he began to practice martial arts at the age of 6 and became a lay disciple at the age of 8 in Songshan Shaolin Temple. In 2003, he won the Best New Actor Award at the 40th Golden Horse Awards for the feature film "Blind Well". In 2004, he gained attention for participating in the feature film "No Thieves in the World" directed by Director Feng. The current fame is not as good as Xu Zheng, there is no special situation, and it is no problem for Guanghui Film and Television to directly sign him to the company.

The two roles in "People in Embarrassment" are simply tailor-made for the two of them, and Xu Zhen and Wang Baobao almost just need to act with their true colors.

"Our company didn't go outside to find people or other companies to poach people, now although the Celestial Empire film market has begun to be hot, but it is not particularly prosperous, there is a chance to play the leading role, except for the big stars who have become famous, few others will refuse", He Ling said.

What He Ling said makes sense, but Jiang Hui, a reborn person, often habitually uses the thinking of later generations to consider the current problems, and sometimes it is divorced from reality.

"When you say that, I think of two people, one is Xu Zhen who acted in the TV series "Li Wei as an Official", and the other is Wang Baobao, who performed well in "No Thieves in the World" last year, I think the two of them are the most suitable to play the starring role in "People in Embarrassment", Jiang Hui said.

"I have a little impression of the two of them, it seems to be quite compatible, and I will ask the personnel department to communicate with them to see if I can sign them directly," He Ling said.

Guanghui Film and Television already has experience in filming movies, and after Jiang Hui and He Ling negotiate the general direction, the rest will be left by He Ling to organize Guanghui Film and Television to promote the filming of the film.
