Chapter 266: Shocking Box Office

Xu Yang was naturally very happy to sign two newcomers worth cultivating, and after Liu Ruoning signed the contract with them, he called Jiang Ying and asked her to pay attention to whether there were music tutors and performance tutors suitable for teaching newcomers in Los Angeles during this time.

Although he had already planned to let Hu Huihui bring people from the domestic Dream Entertainment Company over, but, after all, this branch company still needs to be managed by local people in the United States, and Hu Huihui and they will eventually be in China.

After the matter was explained, Xu Yang wanted to go to Liu Ruoning, but at this moment, he received a call from Joan, saying that the drama "The Shawshank Redemption" had been completed, which made Xu Yang linger for a long time.

Didn't you say a few days ago that you were only halfway through the shooting? Why is it going to be finished so soon?

Under inquiry, he finally understood, it turned out that what Qiong said at the beginning was half of the shooting, referring to half of the filming of the final scene, at that time, the plot on the prison side had already been filmed, which made Xu Yang very surprised, but, thinking about it, he had been in Los Angeles for almost two months, and then, he was relieved.

The United States is a little different from China, here, the crew is finished, and it ends unexpectedly, and there is no so-called dinner party such as the finale banquet, but after all, it is a movie that he invested, and Xu Yang asked Joan to send a red envelope to all members of the crew to express the hard work during this time.

hung up the phone, found Liu Ruoning, told her that she was going to find Joan, and went to the place they had agreed on just now after leaving the company.

Although the filming of the movie has been completed, the follow-up work is not easy, just post-production, a blockbuster like this will take a week, and then, it will be reviewed, the release date will be arranged, and publicity will be done.

Joan's background is not very good, so even if she invites Xu Yang to talk about things, she is looking for an ordinary coffee shop, although the salary she earns at present is not low.

It's really easy to talk about things with such a director who likes movies, or the kind of director who just says what he wants, after all, there is no need to spend more nerves guessing the other party's voiceover.

At the beginning, Xu Yang often watched the filming progress and footage of the films given to him by Joan, but during the time when he was writing the script "Fast and Furious", he didn't let Joan bother him anymore, as long as she felt that the camera was okay.

Therefore, this time, as soon as the two sat down, Joan handed over all the shots to Xu Yang, and carefully found the second half of the plot that had been broken before, Xu Yang began to watch it seriously, not to mention, Joan's shots were really in place, worthy of being a professional director, whether it was the technique of shooting the film or the use of the lens, it was very eye-catching.

After more than an hour, Xu Yang reluctantly put down the things in his hand, slowed down, and then began to talk to Qiong about specific editing issues.

Strictly speaking, Joan himself is a master of editing, but, after all, the screenwriter of this film is Xu Yang, and his opinion is the key, if it is the kind of movie that is shot while writing the script, then Joan will edit according to his own ideas.

After telling Joan all the thoughts in his heart, the two discussed some of the edited scenes until it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening.

Leaving the coffee shop, Xu Yang first called Cao Han in China and told her to let Hu Huihui bring some people to Los Angeles for a business trip, and when the company recruited suitable candidates, they could go back, and the time would not exceed two months.

Knowing Xu Yang's plan, Cao Han nodded and agreed, saying that she would arrange someone to go over as soon as possible.

After this matter was dealt with, Xu Yang also took a taxi and went in the direction of the hotel.

......

The popularity of "Mermaid", even Wasp Entertainment, which invested in this movie, did not expect that it would take 37 days to screen it alone, and on the day it was taken off the shelves, it also sold 11 million box office, which shows how much influence this movie has in China.

In the end, the total box office was counted, which really scared the top management of Wasp Entertainment, 3.64 billion.

What is this concept?

Coupled with the release of Hollywood movies in China, the first movie with a box office of more than 3.5 billion in three years, before that, in three years, the highest box office of the movie only reached 3.28 billion, however, looking at all the movies released in China, 3.64 billion is not the highest box office, but a Hollywood movie six years ago, with a total box office of 4.8 billion, followed by a Hollywood movie four years ago, with a total box office of 3.95 billion.

And "Mermaid", which is only a Chinese-language movie, is ranked third, which shows how huge the impact of this shock is on the entire domestic entertainment industry!

No matter what the outside world thinks of this movie and this box office record, Wang Shengdong, the director of Wasp Entertainment, and Zhang Wei, who maintains a good relationship with Xu Yang, are really happy and excited!

They were not shocked by the number of 3.64 billion, after all, the high domestic box office in China does not mean that the international box office is also high, on the other hand, Wasp Entertainment is also a large international entertainment company, billions will not make a fuss.

What excites them is only the status and reputation that this movie brings to Wasp Entertainment in China, after all, the current entertainment industry environment is a little depressed, if it weren't for Xu Yang's sudden rise a few years ago, perhaps, there won't be so many good TV series, movies, variety shows, and songs, and he can be regarded as a promoter of the prosperity of the entertainment industry in recent years.

It is precisely with him to stimulate the market that there will be more and more blockbusters and good films today, and people in the entertainment industry now also understand that what the audience cares about is not the influence of the big bowl, but the quality of the work.

It is also because of this that Wasp Entertainment is more interested in the value of Xu Yang.

Now it seems that they have a really good eye!

It's just that after the shock, when the finance department of the senior management of Wasp Entertainment counted the shares of all partners, the faces of some people who were in a meeting to celebrate suddenly froze there.

There is no other reason, the statistical table prominently wrote Xu Yang's part of the share, which is 1 billion, and the income of their Wasp Entertainment Company is only 1.8 billion, if you count the money invested, the income of such a large company of theirs is comparable to Xu Yang's personal income of hundreds of millions.

However, no matter how ugly their faces are, the facts are there, and they are helpless, who let Xu Yang only be an investor, and they are both investors and leaders.

Then again, if there wasn't Xu Yang, they really wouldn't have been able to earn this money.

Thinking about the "demonic" character in the entertainment industry, they could only shake their heads with a wry smile.

In this society, often, the fastest and highest money-making is a talented person like Xu Yang, and now Wasp Entertainment has finally had such a good relationship with him, even if he is unhappy, he will not embarrass Xu Yang in face, on the contrary, he will be more friendly with him.

Anyone who understands knows that hundreds of millions, billions at a time is not much in the eyes of large companies, but in a year, there are several hundreds of millions, billions, it is very terrifying, in the hearts of the senior management of Wasp Entertainment Company, the current Xu Yang is the "God of Wealth" who will help their company make money, only for the sake of stuttering.

If Xu Yang knew that these people were thinking of him like this, he would definitely roll his eyes, he was not a fool, how could he keep making money for them?

The reason why he climbed the big tree of wasp entertainment is, firstly, that Xu Yang wants to find a strong foreign aid for his company, if it is okay, he can also help his company attract the enemy's firepower, and secondly, that is, with the help of some resources of wasp entertainment, he can develop his own entertainment company more quickly and effectively.

The current Dream Entertainment Company is a period of development, and it is very unwise to set up too many "enemies", and the best choice is to develop with a dull head.

Take this movie "The Mermaid" as an example, without the help of Wasp Entertainment, it is very unrealistic for Xu Yang to want to shoot this movie in a short period of time, and furthermore, the "Shawshank Redemption" that has just been completed, without the help of Wasp Entertainment, relying on Xu Yang's own words, if he wants to release it in the United States and achieve his expected results, I don't know when he will wait.
