Chapter 41: 20 million on the first day!
As mentioned above, Xu Hui's agent Huang Wen is a very capable guy who has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has no shortage of contacts.
Xu Hui's plan is to slowly figure it out, first build a personal studio, and then develop slowly, he doesn't want to make too much trouble with Huayi, after all, everyone is eating in the circle, and he can't look up and see him, if Huayi really gives a ban order, although he is not afraid, he also has a headache.
If he really cooperates with Chen Farong, then he is Huayi's opponent!
This is not good, the current Huayi can be said to have no opponents in China, and some high-quality movies have also been produced in the past two years, of course, Xu Hui has the blessing of two masters, and he is not afraid of Huayi in the future, but at this stage, it is better not to provoke or not to provoke.
Chen Farong is very optimistic about Xu Hui, probably out of family education, Miss Chen has her own opinions on the circle.
The so-called prosperous entertainment, seeing the advent of the prosperous era, the mainland's entertainment industry is still in a reckless stage, this is the best time to start, but she has no chips in her hands.
Xu Hui's birth gave her hope.
Originally, she was going to sign Xu Hui and create an amphibious king in the film and music worlds, but she didn't expect to be preempted by Huayi.
When "Embroidered Spring Knife" came out, after she watched it, she immediately asserted that in the next 30 years in the Chinese film industry, there must be a place for Xu Hui!
Then it's time to start!
She thought that the conditions she had put forward were already very generous - giving you forty percent of the shares for nothing, what else did she want?
Who knew that Xu Hui didn't look down on her at all, even if Chen Farong had already shown her hole cards.
"My agent Huang Wen, he can also do what you say, in that case, why don't I cooperate with him?"
This sentence really left her speechless.
Xu Hui looked at Chen Farong, who was silent in thought: "When the box office data comes out, let's talk about it!"
“… Let's talk about your next movie!"
Chen Farong bit her lip and changed the topic very abruptly.
"The next movie?"
Xu Hui was a little stunned, this... Will this change the topic too quickly?
"Yes, since you're a director, you can't just make one movie at a time, right?"
“… Most of the current domestic film environment is money-oriented, if you can win the box office, you are a good director, and everything else is false!"
Speaking of this, Xu Hui paused and glanced at Chen Farong, who asked decisively, "Do you think there is anything wrong with this?"
“… Is there a problem, you still don't know?"
Chen Farong was a little speechless: "Don't you want to talk about it?"
Xu Hui waved his hand: "I'm just a rookie director, so I still won't talk about this, but this is a good thing for me, as long as the movies I make can be recognized by the public, I will have the right to speak in the movie, and I can shoot a lot of genres that I like." So, for the next film, I'll choose a genre with a wider audience..."
The so-called movies with a wider audience are also movies that are more likely to explode at the box office!
"Oh, what kind of movie?"
"Youth film! tells about our post-80s youth, which is adapted from a novel by Taiwan, called "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"
……
The next day, when the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" appeared in the Huayi office on the first day, Wang Zhonglei and Huang Wen were completely stunned.
18.08 million!
I'll go!
This is the box office data that many movies can't get until the next stall.
The point is that yesterday was not a weekend, which is a normal working day.
"Xiao He..."
Wang Zhonglei was just about to speak, and his secretary had already spoken: "Broke the box office record for domestic films!"
"18 million is a record?"
Xu Hui was a little surprised and muttered in a low voice.
"Xiao Xu, do you know what the box office of "Assembly" was on the first day?"
Without waiting for Xu Hui to speak, Wang Zhonglei had already spoken: "16 million!"
Xu Hui stopped talking.
Look at the present with the eyes of the future again!
"Xiao He, you go and pay attention to the situation on the Internet!"
Wang Zhonglei felt that his brain was a little messy, of course, he was still very clear about the procedures that should be taken.
He didn't expect Xu Hui to set a new first-day record!
"Here's the box office stats, you see. ”
Xu Hui took the box office statistics table and looked at it carefully.
Very balanced, the box office in the north and south is very even, of course, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Shenzhen are still box office gathering places, and the box office output of these four cities accounts for almost three-fifths of the total box office, and the other is Xu Hui's hometown Hangzhou, which contributed nearly 3 million box office!
Wang Zhonglei stared at Xu Hui's face for a long time, and he didn't look away until the latter was a little impatient.
"Looks like it's okay to keep the capital!"
Xu Hui finally put down the box office statistics table in his hand and looked at several people in the conference room with a smile on his face.
"It's not just capital preservation, I'm sure that the box office of this "Embroidered Spring Knife" can reach 200 million!"
Wang Zhonglei saw Xu Hui laughing, and he laughed too.
"Yes? However, "Red Cliff" is about to be released! It is the work of the great director Wu Baige!"
Xu Hui looked at Wang Zhonglei with a smile, and the latter was a little speechless.
This sentence was said by Wang Zhonglei when he used to 'teach' Xu Hui.
“… As long as the momentum of our movie is up, "Red Cliff" is nothing, right?
This is to ask Huang Wen to speak.
After all, when "Embroidered Spring Knife" was promoted, Huayi made several pig teammates!
Huang Wen sat on the sofa, his eyes always staring at his teacup, as if there was something great in it, and when he heard Wang Zhonglei speak, he hurriedly raised his head: "Ah! Yes!"
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
It stands to reason that "Embroidered Spring Knife" was a big hit at the box office on the first day, and these three people should be very happy.
But Xu Hui had a bit of a posture of settling accounts after the autumn, which made Wang Zhonglei a little embarrassed.
"Hui Shao, what is your opinion on the follow-up publicity?"
After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, and as a big man, Wang Zhonglei spoke.
Xu Hui didn't want to be too unhappy with Wang Zhonglei, after all, at present, he was still looking up to him.
"The box office on the first day came out, and what we need to do now is, of course, to stabilize word of mouth, well, step up publicity, so as to stabilize the box office in the later period. ”
Chinese people like to follow trends, so the better the reputation, the more touted the movie is - no way, these days, there are too few movies with a good reputation!
It is foreseeable that once the data of 18 million on the first day is released, it will definitely arouse great curiosity among the audience, and once the reputation of the film in the same period is played, it can be guaranteed that the total box office of the movie will definitely not be low.
is just like Wang Zhonglei said, after the momentum of "Embroidered Spring Knife" rises, it is not so easy to block it.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away..."
"I heard that our director Xu made an amazing movie, I'll take a look at the box office on the first day!"
Wang Zhonglei was about to speak, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked in, it was Wang Zhongjun.
"Big brother, "Embroidered Spring Knife" sold 18 million on the first day!"
Seeing the comer, Wang Zhonglei smiled and handed him the box office statistics sheet in his hand.
"Who said 18 million? It's 20 million!"
