In Bei Yancheng, in the private room of the hot spring hotel, cigarettes are filled.

Huayi Brothers boss Wang Coach and Wang Zhujiang, director Lu Hai of Dahai Film Studio, and Feng Dacang, director of Cannon Film Studio, are playing mahjong around the table.

Huayi Brothers is the largest private entertainment company in the mainland, and the Wang brothers have a lot of business acumen and means, and the way of attracting directors and stars is different from others, but adopts the way of studio joining. For example, Zhou Taiping, a subsidiary of Huayi Brothers, has its own Taiping studio.

Zhang Weishen also has his own Zhang Dabeard Studio, which is equivalent to a semi-independent subsidiary, except for financial and business contacts, the rest of the studio is operated independently.

Huayi Brothers' contracted directors, Lu Hai and Feng Dapao, both have their own film studios.

"I heard that the recent "Crazy Stone" has a good reputation, and many people are optimistic that Tan Zhang can get a high box office. Idle and bored, Lu Hai opened a new topic.

He is a well-known director among domestic directors, and a few years ago a "Ke Ke Xili" made him famous.

Wang Zhujiang said while touching the cards: "The level of public relations is not big, it is much worse than Director Feng's "Charge", mainly because the movie is made well, and many newspapers and media have spontaneously made positive reports...... In red. ”

"Bump!"

Feng Cannon picked up the red that the king would beat, and threw out a two-strip casually: "Really let that kid blind cat touch the dead mouse, and make a good film for him?" Just his funny approach, it's okay to see if it's fresh. I'm really going to the cinema, I'm going to do it with a real gun, hey. You two need to take it easy. ”

Coach Wang was more serious when he played cards, didn't talk much, and silently touched the cards.

Wang Zhujiang was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it, he still had a happy smile: "The movie is really good, I watched it several times, and the way of shooting is quite special." The form and laughter are new, a comedy with great potential, Tan Zhang is very talented. ”

Lu Hai smiled contemptuously: "That's the tiger is not at home, and the monkey is the king." In the past two years, Director Feng has changed his career to make blockbusters, and there is no Feng's comedy that can carry the top in comedies, and any hairy boy has been touted by you. ”

Feng Dacang laughed: "I won't shoot comedy for a long time, let the young people stir it up." How many years are these old Zhang and Lao Chen, their bullshit fifth-generation directors. Almost used the Golden Rooster Award as his own ATM. I'm just not convinced, I want to win the box office, but also pull them off the horse! ”

The king will echo: "Director Feng has this courage and ability. ”

Coach Wang saw that his card had been completed, so he waited to touch the card, and joined the topic with a smile: "Cannon, you are now one of the three famous directors in China, and it is a matter of time before you win the Golden Rooster Award, I watch this "Assembly Number". It's all you. ”

Feng Dacang said leisurely: "I don't care if I win the award or not, just let them stare dryly." I'm a simple person, and it's not uncommon to win one or two prizes. ”

Coach Wang said: "This year, our Huayi Brothers, Lu Hai's new film has not yet started, and it will not be released until the year after tomorrow." At present, there are only two of your "Charge" and Tan Zhang's "Crazy Stone", cannons, do you think you can rush the company's total box office income to 500 million this year? ”

Feng Dacang shook his head: "I look at the hanging, you didn't even reach 100 million in the first half of the year, and you have to rush 400 million in the second half of the year, no matter how confident I am in "Stormtrooper", I don't dare to guarantee that I will get more than 300 million, even the 280 million of "Transforming into an Autobot", I don't dare to guarantee it." It's full, two and a half billion, and one and a half billion left, where to find it. ”

"Can you watch Crazy Stone?" Coach Wang asked.

Without waiting for Feng Dacang to speak, Lu Hai hurriedly said: "Lao Wang, don't tell jokes, I won't support you if you want to buy the distribution rights at that time, I think that stone is even 50 million." ”

Lord Wang interrupted and said: "Tan Zhang is talented, the movie is done well, and I think I can look forward to it at the box office." ”

"Come on, Erwang, a small-budget comedy, do you really fantasize about taking hundreds of millions of box office? To tell the truth, that kid wrote a few tattered martial arts novels, and somehow he was touted as a god by you, and he was also a writer, a speech, and now he is still making movies. Lu Hai said disdainfully, "At his level, do you know what a movie is." ”

"I can't say that, "Crazy Stone" was released today, and I went to the cinema at noon, and it sold very well at the box office." The king will argue.

Lu Hai sneered: "You are watching Bei Yan City, the life in Bei Yan City is already high, there are many people watching movies, and it is not surprising that the publicity is better." It depends on the whole country, there are so many cities in the country, and how many cities are buying it, which is the true level of the box office. By the way, didn't you have a zero-point field? ”

"Yes." The king will be a little tasteless, and the cooperation with Zhang Tan is his strong initiative, and now Feng Dacang looks down on him, and Lu Hai disdains it, which makes him very annoyed.

It's just that these two are the leading directors of Huayi Brothers, and they can't afford to offend easily, so they can only suppress their anger.

Lu Hai didn't see the emotions of the main general, and continued: "If you look at the effect of the zero-point field, you will know that the film is not false, to be honest, it is really a failure to get the zero-point field, that is, Hollywood films are all empty in the zero-point field, not to mention domestic films, there are too many stones, and it is difficult to cheat more films." ”

The king's face was somewhat embarrassed: "Not necessarily." ”

Lu Hai said in the tone of a person who came over: "You, the second king, you have to learn from your brother." It's not that I'm talking about you, this bet is too big, how much capital is there to bet on, like Director Feng's "Charge", you can bet bigger, a small cost of several million, how much do you want to earn, how many times will it be multiplied for you? ”

While he was talking, there was a knock on the door of the private room: "Mr. Wang, it's me, Xiao Wei." ”

Xiao Wei is the secretary of the king's general.

The king general answered: "Come in." ”

Xiao Wei walked in, greeted a few people, and said, "Mr. Wang, you asked me to count the box office of the midnight show, and I will give it to you as soon as possible, and I brought the statistics table." ”

The king will stop the mahjong and immediately ask, "How much?" ”

Coach Wang also looked at Xiao Wei nervously.

Feng Cannon and Lu Hai were casually playing their cards.

Xiao Wei handed over the statistical table and said very neatly: "In the early hours of this morning in several big cities, a total of 96 movie theaters have arranged zero point screenings, and the attendance rate is very high, and the feedback from many movie theaters is full. Two of them were not contacted, and the remaining 94 sold a total of 215,000 box office. ”

"How much?" The king and the king were stunned.

"A total of 215,000 yuan." Xiao Wei repeated.

The king general suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief: "Okay! ”

Coach Wang also said excitedly: "Not bad. ”

And Lu Hai, who was disdainful just now, was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly turned red, and he only finished saying that the zero point field was a failure, and "Crazy Stone" would be weak, and he was slapped in the face as a result.

94 theaters sold 215,000 box office, and one theater almost approached 20,000 retail sales.

You need to know that this is only the box office of zero o'clock.

The zero-point theaters are basically big theaters in big cities, and there may be five or six halls open together, that is, a hall will sell nearly four or five thousand box office, which is the data that can only be produced when it is full. Lu Hai has been in the director circle for several years, so he naturally has a deep understanding of the theater market, and he can figure it out in an instant.

This statistic is terrifying.

Although "The Steamed Bun Bloody Case", which holds the record of zero-point field, got a box office of 800,000, it was under the premise of nearly six or seven hundred theaters, and the output of a single hall was far less than that of "Crazy Stone".

"Haha, Director Feng, Director Lu, the performance of "Crazy Stone" is not bad, there is hope that it will sell high box office, right?" The mood became very good, and the king looked at the two of them teasingly.

Lu Hai's face was a little gloomy and he didn't speak.

Feng Dacang smiled faintly: "It's okay, it seems that it won't be a problem to sell tens of millions, but if you want to sell more than 100 million, I advise you two not to hold out this hope first, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." ”

"Hehe, I'm confident now." The king general also smiled.

Then he took out the phone and called Zhang Tan.

After a while, it was connected, and the king said: "Director Tan, good news, the box office statistics of the zero point field are out, haha, 215,000, the venue is full...... Yes, rest assured, the propaganda work will keep up...... Well, I think so, okay, okay, I'll ask Xiao Wei to contact you Luying and share box office news. ”

……

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Tan's face was still as calm and light as ever.

This zero-point field is very powerful, although the data of 215,000 looks shabby, in the future blockbuster release, the zero-point field will start at the box office of tens of millions. But it can't be ignored that this is 2007, and there are no movies at the zero point show at all, and not many audiences will stay in the middle of the night.

So far this year, the only one that has opened a zero-point field on a large scale is "Crazy Stone".

The scale is also small, with only 96 theaters responding. But the result is gratifying, with a single hall output of nearly four or five thousand box office, which is very powerful, and it has made a good start for tomorrow's release.

"Is it from Huayi Brothers?" Susa was painting, which was her hobby, and when she heard Zhang Tan answer the phone, she raised her head and asked.

Zhang Tan nodded: "The king will call to say that my movie has sold 215,000 box office, which means that the venue is full." ”

"Really, great! I knew that Zhang Tan was the best! Susa cheered.

"Calm, calm, it depends on the follow-up trend."

Susa walked over and rubbed Tan's face: "Oh, don't pretend, you have to be happy when you should be happy, isn't it uncomfortable to hold back." ”

Zhang Tan hugged Susa into his arms: "This is not called pretending, nor is it called suffocation, this is bearing, heart, and realm." ”

"Is it really such a high realm?" Susa glanced at Zhang Tan provocatively, full of amorous feelings.

"Of course." Zhang Tan only felt a burst of heat in his lower abdomen, picked up Susa by the waist, got up and walked to the bedroom, "However, you dare to question Uncle Ben, I want to teach you how to be a man now!" ”

In the dead of night.

said that Zhang Tan was calm, but in fact, he was far from being so calm in his heart, and he was very excited. On the outside, the impact of tonight is even more than ever, and the battle is very ferocious. (To be continued.) )
