Chapter 66: Rushing to the Sky Tower

At noon, Zhou Yi received a notice from Zhuo Qinglian that the box office data came out last week, and now the single-week box office of "Five Poisons" has unsurprisingly fallen below 10 million Chinese yuan, and now the total box office has accumulated to 359 million Chinese yuan, which is only one step away from 360 million.

However, the film is one step closer to the next file, and it is not far away, it is a matter of the past two weeks, it depends on the situation.

If there is a film competing for the number of theaters, it may be sooner to get off the file.

On the contrary, it may be a little later, but it won't last long.

For this situation, Zhou Yi had already expected it, and he didn't mind, so let's get down! It doesn't matter if you've earned enough.

If you still want to continue to increase the box office of the film, but you are not willing to spend money to buy the box office out of your own pocket, and there is no other means of publicity to use, then there is only one way left, that is, the legendary government charter. The big killer to increase the box office in the previous life, don't think that there is no one in this life. Although this life is different from the previous life, everything can change, only some national characteristics cannot be changed, and the government can have it. It's a pity that Zhou Yi can't use this method. Government charter? Is it a military charter? A group of agents came to watch a movie en masse? Don't be funny. Don't be served.

In fact, this kind of box office is good enough, if it is placed in Hollywood in the previous life, the box office of 360 million US dollars is so awesome that it will explode, and blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million yuan may not be able to achieve this kind of box office, let alone a small-budget film.

But in today's China, this kind of achievement is average, and it has not even crossed the threshold of 500 million, and it is still early to touch the billion mark! The results are not very good, but when you compare the investment costs, the results are very eye-catching. Even if it is an investment like "Assassin Nie Yinniang", if you get this kind of box office, you will make a lot of money, not to mention "Five Poison Gate", which has an investment of tens of millions of dollars, so it's okay to steal the fun!

What's more, the box office did not break 500 million, which was also affected by the ticket price. Compared with the ticket price of a small-cost film and the ticket price of a blockbuster film, there is a difference after all. If this difference is counted, it is promising to touch the threshold of 500 million. It's just that it can't be counted like that, and the industry never counts like that.

It's like you can't take inflation into account, otherwise the total box office rankings won't be counted at all.

Besides, that calculation is not absolutely fair. Do we still need to take into account the people's living standards? No matter how you calculate it, it can't be absolutely fair, so you can only consider the box office alone, and other factors are not considered.

Zhengdong's first film is this kind of box office, less than 500 million, just a small regret, but there will be many opportunities in the future.

Zhou Yi is confident, ready to move forward steadily, and is not in a hurry.

Now the work of the surrounding departments in the east has been taken over by Ji Fubo, Manager Zheng officially handed over the work to him, and the payment settlement matters on the side of Fun Fox Toys, the follow-up work is done by Ji Fubo, which is not only a test for him, but also to let him integrate into the company as soon as possible and be familiar with the work. Now that the company is short of manpower, since he is here, he can't always be idle and hurry up.

Manager Zheng usually has his own job, and he can't always do part-time work.

Zhuo Qinglian can handle these things, Zhou Yi won't care too much, his own affairs are busy enough.

However, the first payment of the surrounding settlement is about to arrive, and Zhou Yi is very happy.

The little money is coming to the bowl! Da la da da!

It is best for the company to be self-sufficient as soon as possible.

It's a pity that the box office settlement will be slow, and the next file can be settled, and a few more days will be a few days.

In fact, follow-up copyright negotiations have been officially launched.

This is the main job of Manager Zheng.

As the general manager, he will lead the negotiation team to negotiate the follow-up TV copyright and network copyright broadcast costs, and try to help the company win more copyright income. In addition, the overseas screening work is being carried out, which also requires the timely attention of Manager Zheng. With Yousheng's help, many problems are no longer a problem, but Zhengdong can't be a shopkeeper. If you should pay attention, you should pay attention so that you will not be cheated.

Even Taj Cinemas has begun to release in Thailand, with both Chinese and Thai versions, and the box office is not small. Taj Cinemas has made the Thai version themselves. However, the market over there is small, Zhou Yi doesn't pay much attention to it, it's good to make a little money, anyway, he can't receive money for the time being, so let the company stare at it. Regarding the overseas screening, Zhou Yi didn't care much about it for the time being, and asked Manager Zheng to let them do it.

Now Zhou Yi's mind is on making movies and TV series.

In the afternoon, the martial arts group continued to do training in fighting routines to prepare for the official shooting. The main actors with roles must prepare carefully, everyone's roles are very heavy, especially Pang Guobin and Lu Yifeng, who are not from the east, so they naturally have to work harder. And they are very satisfied with the role, they think that there is a lot of room to play, and they have to perform well, which is a rare opportunity.

In the next week, Zhou Yi will stay here to shoot the scene, and he will finish filming the ending scene in one go. The scenes should be filmed coherently, and Zhou Yi had no way to play on both sides of the crew. Even if he is filming someone else's fight, Zhou Yi has to act as a background and can't do without it.

Similarly, Lin Yan wants to play the role of Yan Chasan's hand-printing scholar, although there is no play, but there are also some background scenes.

However, he has few scenes, no scenes, only a few scenes, and he can often find time to go back to filming.

Lin Yan's problem is very easy to solve.

The directors on both sides have already negotiated.

Zhou Yi concentrated on his side and tried to finish the movie in a week, and then he could go back to shoot the TV series with peace of mind. In fact, it may not take a week, Director Zhao promised that it will be completed within a week, and the rest of the time is Director Wan's.

When Lin Yan has a scene, he shoots a movie first, and then goes back to shoot a TV series after filming.

The crews on both sides were arranged in this way.

This afternoon, the crew trained until very late, after all, the task of playing is very heavy.

It took a lot of time for several leading actors to straighten out the plot arrangements and various routines of the fight scenes, but when filming, they definitely needed on-site guidance from the martial arts team before they could shoot it. Except for Zhou Yi, it is impossible for anyone to remember so many actions.

What's more, the action may be temporarily modified on the spot, which is normal, it depends on the director's intentions.

Today's rehearsal work was completed, and everyone finally relaxed and went back to rest.

The crew rented a good hotel near Prince Gong's mansion, and the leading actors were resting there, so it was impossible to go back and forth, which would affect the state of filming. Hotel accommodation doesn't cost much money to the crew, so it saves energy and is more convenient.

However, Zhou Yi wanted to accompany his sister, so he returned to the TV series crew to see the situation. If there is a scene at night, you can shoot as usual. Movie shooting during the day does not affect the shooting of TV series at night, anyway, he has enough energy.

But the crew is tired, and not everyone is as energetic as him.

In the next few days, Zhou Yi has been filming with the film crew.

The battle scene of the decisive battle at the end of the film was filmed little by little in accordance with the determined shooting plan. Although the total time of these scenes is about 20 minutes, it is already a long time compared to the scenes in other films. Compared with the original work in the previous life, it also grows a lot. However, the total duration of the film has been extended to two hours, which is half an hour longer than the original, and the fight scenes can naturally be longer.

And these ending scenes need to be carefully crafted, which is not so easy to do.

It took the crew four days to get it done.

Counting the time of other literary dramas and scattered scenes, it was not until Sunday this week that the filming was completed.

On July 26th, the filming of the scene in the morning was completed, and the last shot was finished in the afternoon, and the whole crew relaxed. Now that the whole movie is finished, it may be necessary to check and fill in the gaps and make up some scenes, but those are irrelevant. Zhou Yi's role is all over.

By the end of the month, the film will definitely be finished.

The filming progress of the film was completely in accordance with Director Zhao's work plan, and the plan was very accurate.

Zhengdong's second work is finally completed, and the next step is to enter the post-production stage.

But Zhou Yi doesn't have to care about those things, he has to spend all his energy on TV dramas.

Just when "Chongxiao Tower" was basically completed, the next date of "Five Poison Gates" was finally determined, and it was officially released at the end of this month, and it can last for a few days next week, but the number of theaters is already very small, and it is just ending.

This movie can be screened for 10 weeks plus a screening week, a total of more than two months, which is enough.

In the evening, Zhou Yi and Xi Wei returned to the TV drama crew, ready to go all out to shoot a good TV series.

Lin Yan had already rushed back in advance.

Knowing that her brother's second movie was finished, Tang Yan was very happy and prepared to go to see the internal screening version at that time, and it is estimated that the TV series will definitely be finished by then. And Tang Yan also wants to make a movie, but unfortunately she doesn't have time to shoot "One-Armed Knife" during the holidays, it's good to be able to finish filming the TV series, and the time is limited.

Zhou Yi told his sister not to worry, there will be movies in the future, and she can shoot until she vomits.

What are these words? Tang Yan is depressed, so she won't think too much drama.

In fact, the original script of "One-Armed Knife" has been passed on to the company's screenwriting team, asking them to help refer to it and see if they can change it better.

The ability and creativity of the screenwriting team have been affirmed by Zhou Yi.

Maybe they'll have a better idea.

During this time, the filming of the TV series was also going well, and Zhou Yi is back now, just catch up with his role.

When many crew members saw Zhou Yi, they congratulated him. This Lian Yanying hasn't been on yet! Two movies, or three movies, and a TV series have come out, and the advertising endorsements are there, and your speed is really fast enough.

This is really a blockbuster!

For so many years before, Zhou Yi had never filmed, not even a child star, but once he filmed, he was filmed continuously, he didn't need to breathe at all, the work efficiency was really high, and he made two movies in less than half a year, although it was a small-budget movie, but the box office was there, and it was not amazing!

Many actors are still very envious of Zhou Yi, it is really cool to film like this.

But then again, if you want them to film like this, it is estimated that they can't stand it, and their energy can't keep up. Usually at this time, it is difficult to memorize the script, how can it be possible to act so many plays at the same time? This really requires talent, and no matter how envious it is, it's useless.

Qiu Cao didn't envy Zhou Yi very much, because she was going to play the heroine too.

It is said that Lang Jun has invited a master in the industry to start writing a script for female generals.

The project was officially established, and Qiu Cao was naturally very happy.

In fact, she is still a little envious of Zhou Yi's movie box office, although the box office of "Five Poisons" does not seem too high, but it is really not something that ordinary people can achieve by casually patting. Especially for small-budget films, this is even more so, it can be regarded as a small miracle. Look at those films with higher box office, which one is not a superstar and a famous director? Which one is not a big investment of more than 100 million?

Zhou Yi made his debut with such results, what else do you want?

This film made Zhao Yanqin very depressed, and it is also an interesting thing in the industry.

Next, when Zhou Yi is free, he has to think about what films the company will make in the second half of the year.

His own film has long been determined, and the third small-budget film is "One-Armed Knife", but this is his own protagonist, but there is no role suitable for Gao Song and Zheng Zilong, what should they do? The company must arrange the right film for them.

At the end of the year, Zhou Yi may still have to film "Thunderbolt (2)", and during this time, Gao Song and they can't be idle. In Zhou Yi's view, being idle is a waste of their youth and a waste of opportunities to make money. Employees who don't take a year off are the best employees. What do actors do on vacation? Continuing to film and becoming popular as soon as possible is the right way. I guess Takamatsu thinks so too!

Now that the filming of "Rushing to the Sky Tower" is over, Gao Song's follow-up plans must also be put on the agenda, and these must be prepared in advance. Regarding what they want to shoot, in fact, Zhou Yi has already thought of several plans, and now he just needs to choose the most suitable one.

First of all, this film needs Gao Song and Zheng Zilong to play rival roles, and it is best to have a role suitable for Tang Wang, the three major acting schools, as long as the plot can be brilliant, it must be very good-looking. It's best to be a two-man movie with two protagonists.

As for the investment, it is best not to be too big, but after the box office is in place, there is no need to save too much, and the investment of tens of millions is not too stressful. After all, the box office account plus the follow-up copyright peripheral income is far greater than this number, no problem.

Acting school plus double male class plus drama plus medium investment, so it seems that you can try this movie.

Zhou Yi opened his laptop and typed out the name of a movie on the document.

Tang Yan, who was reviewing the script next to her, looked at it curiously and said in surprise: "Ace vs. ace?" What kind of script is this? ”

Zhou Yi smiled: "This is a movie in which CIA agents are framed by bad insiders, and our military agents go to help." ”

Tang Yan rolled her eyes helplessly: "Can this kind of film pass the review?" Do you want two systems to fight? ”

Zhou Yi smiled: "Don't worry! Our military commander can handle it! ”
