Chapter 161: You Can Earn Money While Standing

January 23, 2010, tomorrow is the day of the premiere of the movie "Thai Embarrassment".

Since the film has been promoted virally for more than two months, fans across the country are already eagerly awaiting.

So Li Mu did not arrange the premiere, but only chartered a large screening hall in a nearby movie theater for the entire studio to watch.

It's eight o'clock in the evening, and since the end of work, the staff in the studio, including the signed artists, have not gone home, and are ready to rush to the cinema together before twelve o'clock.

At this time, everyone's mood is still very excited, after all, this is the studio's first film, if it is a big success, it will definitely increase investment in the film industry in the future, and these actors will also have more opportunities to appear in movies.

After all, TV actors and movie actors are two levels, just like Chen Qiaoen, after the foundation of so many idol dramas on Baodao before, coupled with the popularity of "You from the Star", she can now be said to be a first-line TV drama actor, with a salary of nearly 10 million for a TV series.

And if she makes a movie, she is at most a third-tier movie actor, and her salary will definitely not exceed one million.

Similarly, Sheng Yilun, who has filmed two popular TV series, has now undoubtedly stepped into the ranks of first-line TV drama actors.

And now the salary of the outside world has risen to 350,000, which is 50,000 higher than Chen Qiaoen.

Don't underestimate the gap of 50,000 yuan, the higher the salary, the more difficult it is to rise, the third-tier actor may become a star overnight through a TV series The salary skyrockets tenfold, but in the ranks of first-line actors, every increase in salary is extremely rare.

This is all thanks to the popularity of "Beautiful Li Huizhen", a TV series that premiered on January 7 on Jiangnan TV prime time and officially ended last night.

The highest ratings once reached 13.3 percent, which can basically lock in the annual ratings champion, unless there is another phenomenal TV series like "Star You".

Li Mu's success again naturally attracted the attention of the outside world again, and it was rare for a wave of news unrelated to the movie to appear in the fierce Chinese New Year file.

Even so, Sheng Yilun, who is paid for a top TV series, will be a small supporting role at most if he goes to make a movie, and his appearance will not exceed ten minutes at most.

It can be seen how normal the criticism caused by Li Mu's choice of Peng Yuyan to play the leading role in the first place was.

In the large conference room, the contracted artists, the leaders of various departments of the studio, and the heads of various crew departments were chatting and laughing, and it seemed that they were still in a very bad mood.

"Mr. Li, do you think we will succeed this time?" The closer the time got to the premiere, the more uneasy Xu Zheng became, and he didn't know how many times he asked questions.

"I said Brother Xu, don't worry, I also invested 20 million in it!" Li Mu was also a little funny, how could he be more breathless than a young man in his twenties.

"Brother Xu, there have been so many test screenings before, and the response has been very good, and the box office will definitely not be bad!" Needless to say, it must be Peng Yuyan who spoke, this kid was not nervous at all before the war, but became more and more excited.

"Yes, Director Xu, just relax, this time Berner won 38% of the film schedule for us, which is already the second highest film schedule for this year's Chinese New Year. Chu Fei also said.

Indeed, Chu Fei is not wrong, as time slowly passes, domestic blockbusters have basically taken turns to appear on their own stage.

The only ones that are still in theaters are the kung fu comedy "The Agent Next Door" starring Cheng Long and released for 12 days, the historical film "Confucius" starring Fa Ge just released yesterday, and "Let the Bullets Fly" that has been in theaters for 20 days.

Of course, in addition to these three films, there are also some small-budget films that are also being released, but the box office and film schedule are not a fraction of these blockbusters.

The box office of "Agent Next Door" was less than 40 million in 12 days of release, which can exceed 35 million, and superstar Cheng Long also hit the streets, but in North America, it has a box office of 15 million US dollars, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of yuan.

The historical biographical film "Confucius" was released on the first day yesterday, with a box office of 11 million, which is much better than "The Agent Next Door", and the outside world expects the box office of this film to break through the 100 million yuan mark, but compared to the cost of up to 200 million, it is enough to make the producer cry for a while.

Another blockbuster, starring Jiang Wen, Ge Wei, Chen Daoming, Liu Ye, Hu Jun, Jiang Wu, Xia Yu, Tong Dawei, Liu Jialing and many other powerful stars starred in the western film "Let the Bullets Fly" has indeed achieved unexpectedly good results.

On January 4, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" reached 23 million on the first day, which has set a new high for the box office of domestic films.

This may also be due to the strong film scheduling, Wanda Cinemas has arranged most of its screens to "Let the Bullets Fly", and several other theaters have given the highest film schedules because there are no good movies released at present, resulting in "Let the Bullets Fly" occupied 67% of the film schedule as soon as it was released, which is enough as the previous "October Siege" and "Three Shots Surprise" combined.

With the slow spread of word-of-mouth, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" has risen all the way, and the box office has exceeded 200 million by the week of its release on January 10.

And now it has been released for 20 days, and the box office has exceeded the 466 million of "2012", breaking through the 500 million mark, reaching 563 million.

As soon as this result came out, it immediately shook the entire entertainment industry, you must know that the highest box office of domestic movies before was only 416 million for "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

And the box office of the film "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is also clear to everyone, and it is tacitly understood.

The real box office champion is still "The City Full of Golden Armor" directed by Zhang Yimou in 06 with a box office of 290 million, and now "Let the Bullets Fly" has doubled this record.

For a while, Wanda Pictures, Jiang Wen and others were out of the limelight, and if this trend continues, the film will be able to recover its cost by relying on the mainland box office alone.

Zhao Fang and Wang Jinghua's hearts that have been hanging have finally fallen, with this achievement in hand, their right to speak in the merger of the company two years later must not be less.

At the previous celebration party when the box office exceeded 500 million, Jiang Wen said directly to reporters, "I, Jiang Wen, can earn money while standing!"

Jiang Wen's words poured out the resentment in his heart in the past few years, and he was banned for five years in 99 because of a "The Devil is Coming". After his comeback, he made several movies one after another, but the results were not good, and the well-produced "The Sun Also Rises" in 06 years cost 50 million and only received 18 million at the box office.

As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar, as if everyone else was kneeling to make money.

However, there are very few people who question it, after all, the box office is there, and if you want to go to someone's house, you have to take some dry goods.
