121.Chapter 121: Turning Point

Two weeks later.

"There are nearly 100 well-known cinemas in the country, nearly 5,000 movie theaters, and more than 20,000 screening halls......

Nirvana's president's room, Zhang Heng looked at the fax report sent to him by Yinggu Film and Television on the desktop, and sighed in his heart, he knew that this was the final result that Zhou Xia won for him, it seems that the royal family members standing behind Mu Qinian are very powerful......

"There were 1,200 movie theaters when "People in the Rivers and Lakes" was released before, but this time there were only 500 ......" Zhang Heng shook his head, sorted out the information on the table, took it in his hand, and got up and went to the company's conference room.

All the senior executives of the company are all gloomy and miserable, Cheng Huiyou, the leader of the animation team, Gong Qingfeng, the leader of the choreography and directing group, and other team leaders of various categories, including Bai Ye, Song Xiaoke, Niu Lao, Liao Fubin and other contracted staff are all sitting here.

Ye Hui, the general manager, was standing in front of the conference table and spoke with a stern face.

After Zhang Heng walked in, Ye Hui stopped his voice, and everyone looked at Zhang Heng blankly.

The atmosphere is rare and depressing!

Zhang Heng sighed, the entire Nirvana Film and Television has never faced such a big development crisis since its inception last year, and now, not only the release of the "Old Boy" movie has been restricted, but Huang Xiangqian, the president of Yiku Video Network, personally called him, and the release of the online version of "Old Boy" was stranded, and they were warned and ordered not to be released on the Internet.

And under the animation group, Huaxia Animation, the serializer of the second part of Niu Lao's Crazy Boy series "Raptors Across the River", also received the news that it will no longer publish the works of all signed comic artists under Nirvana.

All the members of the animation group, including Liao Fubin, were originally full of ambition and planned to open the domestic animation market in the near future, but "One Piece" was also stranded.

"Meteor Garden" co-directed by Song Xiaoke and Bai Ye was also blocked by the underworld forces in Taiwan, and was ordered not to shoot when it was about to be completed.

Now, in addition to the "Voice of China", which has formed an unstoppable trend and caused a wide range of discussions in the country, all the upcoming businesses of the entire company have encountered the challenge of "dying before leaving the school", the company's reputation has plummeted, and the capital chain has begun to break the chain, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are being lost every day.

Nirvana Film and Television's various outlets have been blocked, and if this state continues, it won't be long before the company will collapse on its own.

Zhang Heng slowly walked to the conference table and nodded to Ye Hui.

Ye Hui wanted to speak and stopped, then shook his head, walked down, and sat down at the conference table.

Now, even Ye Hui, who has many friends in the circle, can only wait silently in the face of the country's power.

Zhang Heng looked at more than a dozen pairs of worried eyes and took a deep breath, "This is the biggest crisis that the company has faced since its establishment...... But fortunately, it is not without a little hope, this is the news that we have just gotten that our distributor Yinggu Film and Television has successfully obtained the screening rights of 500 cinemas in China......"

Zhang Heng passed the information in his hand and showed it to the staff at the conference table.

But this could not solve the worries in the hearts of the employees, Niu Lao raised his hand, and Zhang Heng nodded: "You say." ”

"Boss, 500 movie theaters, that's a rookie director, or a very bad film has the scale, but most of us already know about the production of "Old Boy" and the whole film, "Old Boy" is definitely the list of works that stand at the top of the Chinese film circle, but now we all know that it is no longer realistic to obtain more theatrical distribution, so can we obtain the distribution rights of other countries?" Niu Lao said with a solemn face: "The spirit expressed in "Old Boy" is the same, and all those who pursue their dreams will be eager to see this movie......"

Zhang Heng smiled slightly, nodded and said: "This matter has been prepared half a month ago, Assistant Wei Lan has led the negotiation team to persuade in some Asian countries, and our distributor, Yinggu Film and Television, is also actively contacting theaters in North America and Europe." ”

"According to Wei Lan's reply, the world premiere is not realistic, but it is gratifying that our negotiation team has successfully obtained the screening rights in Japan, Thailand, Singapore and other places......"

Everyone looked at Zhang Heng blankly, and even Ye Hui was speechless.

"I really can't stand your dejected faces, I don't want to hide it anymore, so I'll tell you to ......" Zhang Heng's smile became brighter and brighter: "We have obtained more than 5,000 movie theater screening rights around the world, including North America and other places, although we can't be released at the same time, but this is good news, isn't it?" ”

"Wow-!"

Looking at the confident smile raised at the corner of Zhang Heng's mouth, the entire conference room erupted in huge cheers at this moment.

OMG!!

5,000!!

It is already very incredible in their eyes to be able to successfully obtain the right to screen, and now, there are more than 5,000 movie theaters willing to give "Oldboy" the qualification to be released, although the cost is imaginable, but on the other hand, it also proves the charm of the big movie "Oldboy"!

No one is going to make a losing deal!

Outside the conference room, the entire office hall was sitting at their desks because the company's business was blocked.

At this time, this huge cheer was suddenly heard, and all the staff couldn't help but be surprised.

Has the puzzle been solved?

The next day, Nirvana's official website released the premiere date of "Old Boy" on the front page.

The premiere will be scheduled for next Sunday, when 100 lucky fans from the official website of Heng Shao fans will be randomly selected to attend the premiere, and a number of film critics will be invited to participate in the premiere.

As soon as this news came out, all the fans who paid attention to the movie "Old Boy" were excited, and they forwarded the news on major post bars and blog groups.

"Great, it's finally here! Earlier it was rumored that Zhang Heng was banned, but it seems to be just a rumor! ”

"The official said that it will only be released in 500 theaters, which is already a ban, right? You must know that Zhang Heng's first film "People in the Rivers and Lakes" was screened for the first time in more than 1,000 companies, and this movie was born under the box office miracle of "People in the Rivers and Lakes", tsk, there are only 500 ......"

"From all the signs, it seems that there is really such a thing, it is only a few days away from making a profit, and now in addition to the spontaneous propaganda of fans on the Internet, there is no trace of reporting by major media at all, who has Zhang Heng offended?"

Countless speculations have come one after another, many people have expressed concern about Zhang Heng's future, and some people have gloated, but no matter what, with the ungodly results of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" and the wonderful editing of the MV version of "Old Boy", most people will support "Old Boy" on the release day.

At the same time, the epic movie "Journey to the Empire", which cost 500 million, was officially released under various media reports and hype from film critics.

The film tells the story of Tang Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty who conquered the major rebel armies with recklessness, and then united to form a sharp knife to overturn the rotten Great Sui at that time and successfully ascend to the throne.

The scene of galloping on the battlefield, countless soldiers fiercely fighting for the revolution, and the scene of the horse leather shroud, as well as the scene of Tang Gaozu facing embattled, using soldiers like gods, winning more with less, and turning defeat into victory when he was in a desperate situation, opened the eyes of military fans, praised them one after another, and received rave reviews for a while!

Among them, there are many royal secrets that the world does not know, which greatly satisfies the curiosity of some curiosity hunters.

The only fly in the ointment is that the special effects technology in China is not qualified, and the large-scale battle is a bit miserable under the special effects of the scum technology, but above the court, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison "Long live the martial emperor, long live, long live" The real plot also made many people's blood boil.

"Journey of Empire", under the direction of Mu Qinian, slowly unfolded a majestic and magnificent epic of mountains and rivers for the audience.

The screening rate nationwide is as high as 60 percent, with more than 3,000 movie theaters and more than 10,000 theaters screening at the same time.

The box office on the first day exceeded 80,000 yuan, ranking the highest box office in Chinese history!

Even "People in Jianghu", which now holds the box office record in Chinese history, only had a box office of 13 million on the first day of release!

Countless people were shocked that this "Journey to the Empire", which is rumored to have been prepared for two years and took one year to shoot, has accumulated a lot of money, and it is just a blockbuster!

Countless films, television, and other entertainment reports poured in, full of praise, touting the supreme supremacy of "Journey to the Empire".

It is only at this time that major reports will bring out Zhang Heng's "People in the Rivers and Lakes" for comparison.

""People in the Rivers and Lakes" only exceeded 100 million in a week, and "Journey to the Empire" broke 100 million in two days, there is no comparison at all!"

"It's funny to think of the bet between the two at the beginning, the box office of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" is still delusional to surpass "Journey to the Empire"?"

"That rookie director's face is really smacked!"

Just when countless media sarcastically ridiculed Zhang Heng's previous record and touted "Journey of Empire".

In the Yanhai Xingmei Cinema, which does not have many people's attention, in the No. 3 screening hall, more than half of the audience has gathered scattered at this time, among them, the most conspicuous is the central position of the screening hall, where hundreds of people are wearing uniform red T-shirts, and they are all sitting there excitedly.

They kept their voices down and talked happily, occasionally waving glow sticks in the shape of red roses, occasionally looking up to look at the faces of some of the stars sitting in the front row.

"So many stars, it's really not in vain!"
