Chapter Forty-Eight: Sugar Candy

Chengtian is very similar to Ali Pictures in later generations, with large capital injections, it is a pity that Chengtian did not make a commendable work, not only that, but it is a pity to make a loss for one, and the vision of the distribution department is terrible!

The first masterpiece after its establishment was "Casting Names", which was produced in collaboration with Bona.

Yu Dong is so smart, how could he let his company withstand so much investment alone!

The two companies invested in half, Yu Dong wanted overseas copyrights, and the mainland's copyrights and box office revenues went to Chengtian, according to incomplete statistics, the overseas copyright income of "Casting Names" was almost 35 million US dollars, compared to the total investment of 45 million US dollars, Bona made a lot of money, and Chengtian lost tens of millions!

Wu Kebo analyzed that "Casting Names" failed to make money because the investment was small, so he cooperated with China Film to create "Red Cliff"!

By the way, Chengtian Entertainment is actually a media company with a Japanese background, and a company called Ai Hui of RB owns a quarter of Chengtian's equity.

Therefore, "Red Cliff" can be called a Sino-Japanese joint venture.

Wu Kebo worked hard in the RB business community in his early years and accumulated a lot of resources.

In 07 and 08, Chengtian's investment was not only in "Red Cliff", but also in "Fengyun 2", "Stick Tiger Chicken" and other loss-making films.

"Wu Kebo saw me, what is he looking for me?"

Xu Hui frowned slightly, of course he knew Wu Kebo, and he knew that the current Chengtian was Huayi's biggest opponent.

"How do I know, I'm only in charge of passing the word. ”

Li Bingbing gave him a blank look, then turned off his phone, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

She's tired too!

Xu Hui thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out what he had to talk about with Wu Kebo, and wanted to call to ask for the opinion of the agent Huang Wen, but when he thought of the countless text messages on his mobile phone, he still forgot it.

……

Hangzhou's propaganda is a little grander.

In addition to the fixed media and audience meetings, Zhejiang Satellite TV also tracked and reported the whole process.

After all, it is his hometown, and Zhejiang Satellite TV and Huayi Brothers have a cooperative relationship, so the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife" cooperated with the TV station to record an episode of "Entertainment Dream Factory", and this variety show still has some ratings in Zhejiang Province.

Xu Hui is the absolute protagonist of the Hangzhou Propaganda Station.

When Xu Hui was still a member of the Korean idol team, he was already a little proud of Hangzhou, and now he has made a work that has both word-of-mouth and box office, which is not a solid term for 'pride'.

Hangzhou publicity, probably because he returned to his hometown, Xu Hui seemed very excited, and 'actually' sang the unreleased new song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", which attracted the excitement of the audience.

"The MV for the new song should be filmed next month, and then the new song will be released in September, a total of six songs, I promise they are all good!"

At the media conference, the reporters' attention really focused on the new songs.

"I wrote the lyrics and the music. ”

"Of course, it's all Chinese songs!"

"No, it should be kept secret for the time being, if it weren't for the reason of returning to my hometown, I guess I wouldn't be able to sing. ”

In the face of the demands of the hometown media, Xu Hui made various twists, although he sang the new song in public, he did not reveal the content of the new song, and did not continue to sing other songs.

Actually, according to the plan, the EP's hairstyle and momentum should be next month's work, but there is no way, there is always a new news point.

The box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" has seen an obvious decline.

On July 6, the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" fell for the first time, and the daily revenue was only 14 million that day.

Fan movies are not good at this, and there is a serious lack of stamina!

This is inevitable, if there is no new news point to attract the audience, Xu Hui is very worried that before July 11, "Embroidered Spring Knife" will not get the expected box office of 150 million.

Sure enough, with the popularity of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" on the Internet, coupled with the release of a bunch of drafts with a box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" exceeding 100 million, "Embroidered Spring Knife" once again became the center of the topic.

Huayi even started online booking, cooperated with Taobao, and organized an online purchase of movie tickets to win tickets for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

In 08, Ma Yun was still one of the shareholders of Huayi...

The effect is okay, which is reflected in the box office data, the box office on July 7 showed sporadic reverse growth, and the daily report closed 14.8 million on the same day.

After 7 days of release, the cumulative box office reached 120 million.

As long as he works harder, before the release of "Red Cliff", the box office will be pushed to 150 million, and Xu Hui can guarantee that the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" will definitely exceed 200 million.

Back in the capital, it was already July 8th, and after the fixed publicity routine, Xu Hui drove to a private club in the western suburbs according to the previous agreement.

Wu Kebo was waiting for him inside.

At this meeting, Xu Hui did not inform Huang Wen, let alone Huayi's senior management.

After all, Wu Kebo is the big boss of Chengtian, and Chengtian is the biggest opponent of Huayi Brothers on the market.

"Mr. Xu, you are here, Mr. Wu is already waiting for you inside. ”

When I walked into the clubhouse, I was immediately greeted by a beautiful girl wearing a cheongsam, who should be a waiter in the club.

Xu Hui followed the girl left and right, and finally came to the door of a brown room.

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Xu is here. ”

The girl knocked on the door, and Xu Hui took the opportunity to look at the decoration of the club.

Typical Japanese decoration style, it seems that the owner of this clubhouse should be RB people, or Chinese who advocate RB house style.

"Director Xu, you can come in!"

There was a small wooden table in the room, Wu Kebo smiled at Xu Hui, there was a girl sitting next to him, the girl lowered her head, she couldn't see her face clearly, just looking at her clothes and figure, Xu Hui had already given 80 points.

"Mr. Wu, hello. ”

Xu Hui stretched out his hand, and after the two shook hands, Xu Hui sat down.

After the waiter withdrew, Wu Kebo said to Xu Hui with a smile: "This is the most authentic RB food, even the ingredients are airlifted from Hokkaido, you can try it!"

Xu Hui thanked him, picked up something casually and stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing much.

For him, the food is of course good, but the pursuit of food is not too high, as long as it fills his stomach!

In fact, most directors are like this, what can the crew have to eat?

Wu Kebo probably realized that he was going to play the piano to the cow, and he didn't mind much, and instructed the girl next to him: "Tang Yan, pour wine for Director Xu." ”

"I don't drink liquor, do you have boiled water?"

Xu Hui hurriedly refused.

Wu Kebo seemed to have called a name just now, Tang Yan?

Is that Tang Yan?

Xu Hui looked up at the girl next to Wu Kebo, isn't she a stupid white sweet sugar princess!

How did she get here?

Before Xu Hui could think about it, he heard Wu Kebo say: "Wu's negligence, I heard that Director Xu prefers red wine, Tang Yan, go to the waiter and ask for a bottle of red wine." ”

Tang Yan Shi Ran stood up, and after a while, walked in with a bottle of red wine.

The black short is very tempting!
