Monday, December 25th.

In the conference room of DreamWorks, several managers and principals of DreamWorks were waiting anxiously.

"Ahem...... Can you stop smoking, and how many ladies? Jiang Shuying glanced at Wang Meng, who was leading the smoking.

At this time, the only one who dares to say this is Jiang Shuying.

"That's it, that's it, don't smoke, what's the benefit of smoking?" Zhou Hui also muttered.

"Well, no, no, no." Wang Meng pinched out the cigarette in his hand.

The big smoking gun, Wang Peng, Liu Zhiyuan, Ning Hao, Zhao Jisen and others also hurriedly pinched their cigarettes.

"Hasn't Lao Zhang finished counting yet? Why is it so slow? After Wang Peng pinched his cigarette, he didn't know what to do for a while? complained about Zhang Lantian.

Zhang Lantian of this will be counting the first-day box office by phone call?

"Yesterday was Sunday, Director Wang's fame coupled with the sensationality and quality of the film, I think the box office must be indispensable, Lao Wang, don't worry!" Fu Qiang said to Wang Peng.

"Well, as long as more than 5 million can meet expectations, of course this is the minimum estimate, 8 million is our goal, if it is more, it will be amazing." Liu Kai pondered.

"Anyway, making money is certain, there is no doubt about this, the key depends on how much you earn, and you have to compare it with the other three, which is the key point." Zhao Jisen said.

"It's certain to make money, it depends on how much you make, and many of our plans for next year are still counting on the box office of this movie? Less is trouble. Wang Mengdao.

"Click!" The door opened.

Zhang Lantian came in.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him, but Zhang Lantian's face was full of excitement. Seeing this, Wang Meng has counted.

"How much is Lao Zhang?"

"Tell me, Lao Zhang?"

"Over 5 million, right?"

"What 5 million, I think at least 8 million."

Seeing everyone anxiously asking themselves, Zhang Lantian was happy. It's not just that I'm happy to see such a scene, but it's ...... The report in his hand is too rebellious, if he hadn't counted it five times, he wouldn't have believed it.

"Tell you a good news......" Zhang Lantian said seriously.

"Ahem...... Director Wang's "You at the Same Table" came out at the box office on the first day, and after my detailed check five times, I guarantee that there are no errors, and our first-day box office is ......"

"10.42 million!"

"Haha, 10.42 million, Wang Dao made us rich, 10.42 million." Zhang Lantian is about to dance.

"Seriously?" Wang Meng was surprised, he thought that there would be a lot of box office, but he really didn't expect so much.

It seems that the film that pioneered a genre is strong, and this is not following the trend.

In these years, "To Youth" and "Those Years" have not yet appeared, and his "You at the Same Table" has been adapted, plus the first one, and now such a box office is really rare!

"Lao Zhang, you're serious." Zhao Jisen.

"I'll take a look." Wang Peng was more direct and stepped forward to snatch the box office report in Zhang Lantian's hand.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand...... 10.42 million ...... It's true!? Wang Peng pointed to the numbers and carefully checked them, and was stunned when he checked out 10.42 million.

Everyone could still bear it, and they passed the report to check it carefully, and when the number checked was really 1042, the excitement in their hearts finally couldn't be suppressed.

"I'll just say what I say? Director Wang is a miracle, look, look at this box office, the first day exceeded 10 million, we set a record, haha......"

"Originally, I expected the total box office to reach more than 60 million, and 80 million was the goal, but now ...... Looks like we might be able to think a little more. ”

"On the first day, it was 10.42 million, and our total investment plus publicity was only 13.5 million, so it seems that it is appropriate to recover the cost in a week."

"yes, this box office is simply against the sky."

"Haha......"

At this moment, several managers and principals of DreamWorks were happy, and only money-making companies can develop better.

Originally, after Wang Meng came back from Venice, the company's net worth was nearly 100 million yuan, and it took nearly 14 million to shoot "You at the Same Table", and more than 15 million people don't know where to go, it seems that Wang Meng is useful.

Coupled with the acquisition of potatoes, as well as the acquisition of the rights to several newspaper media outlets and many novels, it is expected to cost nearly 20 million. In this way, 50 million will be gone.

And there are still many plans for next year, not to mention that Wang Meng's "Painted Skin" has a large investment, but Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing" is expected to be 10 million, Wang Peng's "Love Apartment" is expected to be 4 million, and Liu Zhiyuan's horror film is at least 2 million.

This is nearly 20 million again, and there are all kinds of them, and Wang Mengmeng only has 30 million left for filming "Painted Skin".

Not to mention, Wang Meng also has the ambition to acquire Marvel, the ambition to make a big animated movie, the purpose of cooperating with Tsui Hark, and the "Xu Xiake" series of movies that Chen Kexin is interested in.

How can I do it without money?

So these people who know DreamWorks' plans for next year were relieved when they saw the box office of 10.42 million on the first day.

Don't say it...... The funds have been alleviated, and even the showdown with the other three films will have a good ranking!

It's a double harvest, can you be happy?!

"Alright, alright. Unexpectedly. This box office is worthy of our dedication. And...... Our plot is flawless, the production is attentive, all the prop layouts and backgrounds are also supported by the theory of several professors from Fudan University, and we are not afraid of fans finding faults. Therefore, quality is the most reliable way to win, and as expected, word of mouth will spread in the next few days, and everyone doesn't need to worry about the box office, it depends on which step we can reach. Wang Meng concluded.

"Well, now that I think about it, Director Wang did it right before, or if you don't do it, you can do it well. We are not afraid to find faults, and we don't have to worry about making mistakes, and it feels great to make money with peace of mind. Zhao Jisen said.

"That's what I want to say, we will continue to do this in the future, and we will do it well." Wang Mengdao.

"Don't worry about the box office, but the publicity still has to keep up, and the coming month is still very tight. But I'm not going to get involved, just get the actors to promote it. Wang Meng said.

Everyone knew that the boss had begun to assign tasks again, and they all did it seriously and began to record.

"Regarding the acquisition of video sites, we can close the network, we have time now, and they have been cool enough for a long time. Other than that...... In a few days, I called Chen Chufei and asked him to report if he had any goals, and he would follow up on the acquisition of several magazines and newspapers. …… The movie is released, Tsui Hark should come to me, about the "Di Renjie" series, it is still far from a direction now, but this aspect must be paid attention to. …… Manager Zhang, you will release a message in two days, saying that our DreamWorks is going to sign many screenwriters, especially screenwriters with magical mythology specialties. This should be a major thing to do. ”

"Okay, Director Wang." Zhang Lantian quickly recorded it.

"Manager Zhao, you have to integrate all the company's ongoing projects and funds recently, and let Director Zhou, the financial director, cooperate with you."

Zhao Jisen and Zhou Hui also hurriedly said that they understood.

"Director Ning, Brother Wang, Brother Liu, the three of you can lay out the project in advance for next year's film and television works. Come to my place in two days, let's study the script, I've got it done, and you can fix it too. Although it is not certain that filming will start, there is nothing wrong with being prepared. The three of you pay attention to this. ”

Ning Hao, Wang Peng, and Liu Zhiyuan were a little excited, it was finally their turn, and the plan seemed to be about to start.

["Manager Wu, in terms of artists, you are attentive and purposefully arrange for them to appear in film and television dramas and self-training.

And also...... Did you contact the business card I gave you the day before yesterday? That Liu Shishi is a good seedling, try to sign it. We have a lot of film and television plans for next year, and we need our own artists to participate, you tell everyone, tell everyone to be prepared, of course, the leading actors of big productions have nothing to do with them, I hope they don't have emotions, tell everyone to take their time, starting with the supporting roles. ”】

"Okay boss, I'll take notice." Wu Juandao, the artist department's experience. He also said: "I haven't contacted Liu Shishi yet, I'll contact you later." ”

"Hmm." Wang Meng nodded.

"Director Liu, Producer Fu, let's see if you can find a few experienced assistant directors and cinematographers. Brother Liu and Brother Peng will have their jobs next year, I need these talents here, and they also need them, so you should pay attention to the recruitment and reserve of talents in this area. Wang Meng said to Liu Kai and Fu Qiang again.

The two nodded their heads in understanding.

"Shu Ying, I have a copy of the big film and television personnel given to me by Director Feng Xiaogang and Director Zhang Yimou, who have experience in costume drama sets and Taoism, you can take the time to help me contact them, and say that I will invite them to come to DreamWorks to discuss."

Wang Meng also made arrangements for Jiang Shuying.

And it's the work of the contact, Jiang Shuying's contact is no different from Wang Meng's contact, and now who doesn't know the relationship between the two.

"yes, I see." Jiang Shuying is very happy that she also has a job.

"Okay, that's all there is to it, everyone hurry up and prepare, it's almost the New Year, finish it as early as possible, and have a relaxed New Year." Wang Meng said to everyone, while thinking about it to see if there was anything missing.

After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that there was still something to do, and said to Zhang Lantian: "Manager Zhang, you will announce our first-day box office to our official website in a while, and my name Zhenzhen will also be announced on my blog and personal website and post bar, and I will say more words of thanks to fans." ”

"Okay, Director Wang, I'll announce it." Zhang Lantian said, and asked: "After Director Wang is announced, there will definitely be a reporter interview, do you think?" ”

"You can just entertain this, I need to do a lot of things lately. I have to consider the scripts of Brother Liu, Brother Ning, and Brother Wang, and if Tsui Hark comes, I will also consider the script of "Di Renjie", not to mention the script and preparation of my next work "Painted Skin". I don't have time, you can do it. ”

Wang Meng replied, although it is almost the New Year, but he is still busy, too busy.

"Okay, let's disperse, Manager Wu and the others will inform the actors of "You at the Same Table", report the good news to everyone, and say that when there is time to hold a celebration banquet, they must be there."

"I know Director Wang." Wu Juan said.

After explaining a series of arrangements, Wang Meng is much easier, it is not easy to manage a company, this is still a lot of work shared by everyone for him, otherwise it will be even busier.

Only Jiang Shuying and Wang Meng were left in the office.

"Go to my house in the evening. My mom misses you and says you haven't been there for a long time. Wang Mengdao.

"I know, my aunt called me and asked, it's not your business and the company's business too much. However, "You at the Same Table" was released, and I was not so busy, so I went to my aunt when I had time. Jiang Shuying said.

"Well, that's fine."
