Leon's heart during this time was really happy.

The movie that I introduced at the beginning has now achieved such excellent results, everyone will be happy, and the box office is still secondary, after all, only a small part of the money ends up flowing into my wallet, and what really matters is the evaluation of the head office.

This is also the second time that Lyon has been awarded by the headquarters after "Youth Musical", and even according to the inside information revealed by the headquarters personnel, Lyon will even get a seat on the board of directors in the head office this time.

Although it seems that it is only a director's seat, and there are no shares, but the voting rights in hand are really real, with this identity, Lyon's value in the head office also rose sharply, and because he maintained a neutral attitude, several groups on the board of directors wanted to win him over, and for a time Lyon also became a celebrity within the company.

And the benefit of these is that Lyon's reputation in Miramax has also reached a new height, and the employees of the company know that their boss is very discerning, and the three oriental films introduced in succession, whether they are adapted, remade or directly introduced, have achieved good results.

"Ye, cheers for our happy cooperation this time, and more perfect cooperation in the future!" The box office is about to exceed 50 million US dollars, and Miramax, as a landlord, naturally wants to hold a celebration banquet.

At the banquet, Leon took Ye Sumang's hand very enthusiastically and spoke impassionedly about the future prospects.

It can be seen that he is very happy that "The Grandmaster" has achieved such excellent results.

"Cheers." Ye Sumang raised his glass lightly, Leon touched it, this time "The Grandmaster" was able to achieve such good results, in addition to the quality of his own film is really good, Miramax's cooperation also accounts for a large proportion.

If it weren't for the second week, Lyon contacted so many theaters to schedule "The Grandmaster". The box office of more than 30 million US dollars will definitely not be obtained.

"Leon, such a wonderful stroke, did Disney give you any reward?" During the banquet, Ye Sumang asked casually.

These words scratched Leon's heart, and the smile on Leon's face became brighter and brighter.

"Ye, I want to thank you for speaking of which. This time, my excellent performance earned me a seat on the board of directors of the head office, haha. "This matter, Leon doesn't want to hide it, and hopes to take advantage of this momentum so that Ye Sumang can deepen his cooperation with him even more, of course, it would be better if Ye Sumang could use funds to share the shooting risk, after all, Miramax has prepared more than 100 shooting jihua this year.

And how much of these jihua can be realized, it all depends on the amount of funds, and Ye Sumang, a big financier, is the most Haode investment object in Leon's view.

After all, it's better to find someone who doesn't know anything than to find someone who knows everything. At least he won't give you a bad idea.

Hearing that Leon won the seat on the board, Ye Sumang just chuckled and said congratulations, and his face did not change at all.

"Ye, to be honest, I think we should be able to carry out more in-depth cooperation, what do you say?" Leon waited for a long time, only to find out that people didn't care about his imminent status as a director. I was still a little angry at first, but when I thought of Ye Sumang's worth. He could only hold this breath in his heart and let himself digest it.

In the end, Leon still licked his smiling face and asked Ye Sumang, the gold master.

"Tell me." Gently shaking the red wine glass, Ye Sumang asked with a formulaic smile that seemed to have a hint of curiosity.

As soon as he heard Ye Sumang give the beginning, Leon's spirit was lifted, and he was not afraid of anything else. I'm afraid that Ye Sumang is not even interested at all, but now that Ye Sumang has asked him to say it, he is obviously interested, and the next thing is to see if his three-inch incorruptible tongue can convince Ye Sumang to take out the lovely dollar.

"Ye, you have to be interested. I'll talk to you about it in detail, knowing that in the next year, we have hundreds of jihuas, and if you're interested, I can even let you go through the script in advance......"

At the next celebration banquet, in addition to the necessary reception, Leon spent most of the rest of the time pestering Ye Sumang, and even Liu Yifei was a little skeptical that this guy's sexual orientation had changed, of course, Leon still likes beautiful women, but he loves money more, during this time he will roughly inform Ye Sumang of Jihua in the company, Ye Sumang seems to listen casually, but in fact, he is very serious, after all, in Ye Sumang's view, this company will belong to himself sooner or later, and if you can understand more, you can understand more, These are also useful for negotiating prices in future acquisitions.

What conditions were reached between the two sides, except for Ye Sumang and Leon, no one knew, but Leon had an uncontrollable smile on his face when he went back, and he obviously gained a lot.

At the moment when the celebration banquet was held in North America, the news that the box office of "The Grandmaster" exceeded 30 million in a single week also spread back to China.

The sensation caused by this is definitely no less than the box office of "The Grandmaster" at the beginning, which exceeded 600 million!

"$31.5 million, haha, look at the media now, dare to say that "The Grandmaster" is the second in "Hero"!"

"It's amazing, "The Grandmaster" is mighty! This is the rhythm of earning US imperialist dollars! ”

"I really didn't expect that "The Grandmaster" would have such a good result in North America, but it is not surprising to think about it at this time, the quality of this film is worth it!"

And as this news spread to China, the status of the overlord of "The Grandmaster" has once again been strengthened and heightened, and it is completely a momentum of 'being at the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains at a glance'.

And after this week's box office settlement, the global box office of "The Grandmaster" even exceeded 1 billion yuan, this data simply made the bosses of major film companies red-eyed and drooling, it is really more than grabbing money!

And with the box office of "The Grandmaster" becoming popular in North America, Ye Sumang's name is getting louder and louder.

Before the "What If? "Love" won 300 million box office, won the gold awards in three places, and even won the Oscar for foreign language films, some people shouted that Ye Sumang was the first director in the mainland.

It's just that most people didn't care about it at the time, and even made a lot of ridicule about it, and now the global box office of "The Grandmaster" has exceeded 1 billion, and sure enough, someone came up with this slogan and named Ye Sumang the title of 'first director'.

And this time there are obviously fewer people who refute, sometimes, directing a high-quality film can be said to be luck, directing two is strength, and always being able to produce high-quality movies, it is definitely the greatest embodiment of the combination of strength and talent.

For this reason, the online portal also held a special vote to choose who will be the future 'first director' of Huaxia.

The result is very surprising, Ye Sumang is far ahead of this list with more than double the total number of votes, and it is obvious that more and more people are optimistic that Ye Sumang can win this crown.

The current Ye Sumang is definitely the most shining existence among the top directors, coupled with his assets in the film and television industry as the background, his status in this industry continues to climb and he has become one of the real bigwigs.

And in the midst of praise, "The Grandmaster" also threw itself into the third week of battle.

On March 5th, the North American promotion of "The Grandmaster" finally ended the promotional activities the day before, and at the same time began to prepare for a vacation to Hawaii, and this day was also Ye Sumang's birthday, Ye Sumang, who wanted to take this opportunity to sleep lazily, was quarreled by two phone calls.

"Director Ye! The list of nominees for the Hong Kong Film Awards is out! ”

"Director Ye, the Directors Association has something important to discuss with you.........

The two news came together, so that Ye Sumang completely lost the idea of sleeping... (To be continued......)
