Chapter 334: Life Is So Coincidental
Three days later, the official premiere of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" was held in Hangzhou, and Fu Luo naturally received an invitation, but he did not go in the end. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Because he really didn't understand why he wanted to make a premiere like a party, and he also sorted out Feng Xiaogang's life and remembered it again, making the small steel cannon look like it was hanging, it was really stinky, long and boring.
Maybe it's for the promotion of the movie, after all, there is a full participation of Hangzhou TV, but Fu Luo really doesn't want to be bored for so many hours, anyway, Guan Qingqing also received an invitation, and a representative of Dune Entertainment can go.
Finally on this day, Fu Luo simply asked people to take the initiative to ask Wu Ershan to come out to meet, he wanted to find the other party to be the director of "Journey to the West", although the other party is not too famous, but the strength is still good, he has graduated in ninety-eight years, after nearly ten years of precipitation, he must be able to take on this important responsibility.
"Mr. Fu, you mean to invest 100 million US dollars?"
In a café, when Wu Ershan received the figure of $100 million from the mouth of the big star Fu Luo in front of him, he almost didn't bite his tongue off, because he was really scared.
You must know that after he graduated from Nortel, he only made one independent film, and the others were all commercials, but now there is a bold person who dares to hand over an investment of 100 million US dollars to him to direct, and he is really scared that he doesn't dare to speak, God, this is nearly 700 million yuan, just to make a movie?
"Yes, an investment of 100 million US dollars, after all, the entire "Havoc in Heaven" has to involve special effects shots, I don't want to make a shoddy movie casually, how about Director Wu Ershan, are you willing to take on this burden?"
Fu Luo didn't want to have too many twists and turns, so he directly asked Wu Ershan for the final answer.
"This, Mr. Fu, can I think about it first, to be honest, I need a little time to digest this news, and I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm really a little scared!"
Wu Ershan hesitated slightly, but still said what he thought in his heart, and finally didn't forget to laugh at himself.
"Of course, if you can give me an answer within a week. ”
Glancing at Wu Ershan, who had a big face and a pair of feminine red-framed glasses, Fu Luo gave a positive answer, he naturally would not force others to give an answer now, he was not so domineering.
"Then thank you, Mr. Fu, by the way, can I ask Mr. Fu another question?"
"Okay, you say?" Fu Luo didn't refuse Wu Ershan's question, he was still curious about what the other party wanted to ask him.
"Actually, it's not another problem, I just want to ask Mr. Fu why you dare to invest 100 million US dollars to make a movie, just based on our current situation in China, don't you worry about the recovery of costs?"
This question popped up from Wu Ershan as soon as he heard "100 million US dollars", and he didn't even dare to use the word "profit" at this moment.
"I'm really not worried, because I am very confident in our Chinese film market, in 10 years, it will definitely break through to a total box office of more than 10 billion, and the production cycle of the movie "Havoc in Heaven" must be indispensable, and it is initially expected to be released in 11 years, I believe that at that time, our Chinese film market will have a total box office scale of at least about 15 billion, as long as the movie is good enough, I believe that the overseas box office can also be expected, of course, there is definitely a risk, but it is worth a try. ”
Fu Luo's words are basically his heart's words, and this 100 million US dollars sounds a bit scary, but it will not be taken out immediately, in the three-year production cycle, it can be added step by step, and then find some foreign aid, there is not much pressure at all.
"Ha, it seems that Mr. Fu is full of confidence in our Chinese film market, and at the same time, he spares no effort to promote our Chinese film industry, which is really admirable!"
At this time, Wu Ershan didn't know what he was talking about, but he only thought that Fu Daxing would be too optimistic, after all, the total box office in China this year is only more than 4 billion, and it can quadruple in three years?
If Fu Luo could hear Wu Ershan's heart, he would definitely say categorically, yes, of course there is, now tell you that in the future, someone will sell more than 3 billion box office just by selling his name, and ask you if you are convinced, and ask if you dare to believe it?
"Ha, Director Wu Ershan, I think you should go into politics. Listening to this thing's sudden official cliché, it almost didn't make Fu Luo laugh directly.
"Hey, hey, I'm ......!"
After Wu Ershan reacted, he touched the back of his head, and he also felt a little embarrassed, what he said just now was really a bit official.
…………
The next day, "People in Embarrassment", which was released for four days, was finally counted out of the box office results of the first week, with a total of 43.52 million yuan, an absolute dark horse, undoubtedly topped the box office champion of this week, and caused a lot of sensation in the entire circle for a while.
And the audience reputation of "People in Embarrassment" is not bad, although it was scolded badly by some "grandstanding" film critics, it still can't stop the popularity of the movie, after all, it is the Internet era, who cares about any bullshit film critics.
Besides, in order to highlight themselves and for money, these people can even sell their souls, and there is really no credibility at all.
In addition, as he expected, the other films in the cycle basically failed comprehensively, and all of them did not meet the expected box office, such as "Ip Man", which ranked second in the box office list and was released in the third week, only got a weekly box office of 16.42 million this week, which is at least 5 million worse than the total box office that the producer expects to break through 60 million this week, which shows that it has suffered a lot of impact.
Then the third place is "The Great Search", this movie was released two days ahead of "People in Embarrassment", and only got a total of 7.26 million box office for six days a week, in fact, this is already a good result, after all, the cost of Xiangjiang movies has always been low, plus the box office in Xiangjiang, maybe you can successfully recover the cost.
Then the fourth place is "Mei Lanfang", which was released to the fourth week, and got a box office of 6.3 million in a week, so that the total box office also broke through the 100 million yuan mark, reaching 102 million yuan.
Not to mention, this pot of cold rice in "Farewell My Concubine" has been a huge success at the box office, as for the rest, it can only be said that Director Kaige continued to eat his old book again, and completely fell into the abyss, only sighing that Kaige died too early, and there was no way to continue to help.
The final fifth place is "Women Are Not Bad", which was released to the third week, and only got a box office of 1.22 million, and the total box office was only 18.13 million, it seems that it is really a bit suspenseful to break through the box office of 20 million.
Looking at the report of "People in Embarrassment", the box office was even more than half higher than the second place, Fu Luo finally made up his mind, and at the same time he quietly changed the box office expectation in his heart to the threshold of 100 million yuan.
However, it is still difficult to achieve this goal completely, because there is "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" to be released next week, and "Under the Red Cliff" will be released next week, the competition is really a bit big, and these two movies have a relationship with him, the former has an investment, and the latter is the starring role, which is really a bit tangled.
If he could, he naturally hoped that all three films would achieve a good result, but if he had to abandon one, Fu Luo might choose "Under the Red Cliff", after all, he didn't invest in this movie, he just got a fixed salary, and the box office didn't affect him too much.
Of course, it doesn't seem to be useful to think too much at this time, and in the end you have to wait for the test of time.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Fu Luo suddenly received a call from Lu Zheng, and at two o'clock, the two met together again, and finally talked for about an hour, and he and Lu Zheng left separately.
The legendary Jing Tiantian did not appear, but Lu Zheng did mention the other party's name, and also vaguely expressed his intention to let Jing Tiantian participate in his new movie.
It's just that when Fu Luo proposed to invest 100 million US dollars to shoot "Havoc in Heaven", don't mention how stunned Lu Zheng, a middle-aged man about 40 years old, was, anyway, there was no result in the end, because Lu Zheng said that he had to think about it carefully to have an answer, after all, there didn't seem to be any particularly important female characters in "Havoc in Heaven".
In other words, Fu Luo is also quite disappointed, it seems that Jing Tiantian, the big money owner, seems to be quite sensible.
Later, after meeting Lu Zheng, Fu Luo went to Huang Lei's house again, because the other party had already made an appointment with him several times, saying that he would let him talk about "Longing for Life" in the past, and then another partner, He Jiong, would also come over today, but he would arrive a little later.
After coming to Huang Lei's house, while Chef Huang was cooking, Fu Luo came to the largest supermarket in the neighborhood under the "instigation" of his goddaughter Huang Duoduo, ready to buy snacks for a certain snack seller.
And then life is so coincidental, when Fu Luo and Gao Yuanyuan at both ends of the shelf grabbed the same bag of snacks at the same time, the two were stunned together, which was also ......
