The success of the steel piano not only made Ji Yun make a lot of money, but also proved his value to the market.

can fight against a work with a box office of more than 300 million alone.

Seeing that Ji Yun's rise was unstoppable, the painting skin had no idea of stumbling.

Instead, he sent a congratulatory message as soon as possible in order to build a good relationship.

On the surface, they are competitors, but the industry is complex, and it is better to have more friends than one more enemy.

Not to mention that there is also Ji Yun's "undercover agent" Chen Kun in the painted skin crew.

When the box office results came out in the first week, he called and admitted defeat with a wry smile.

"Hello?"

Ji Yun's phone has never been left behind, and almost the entire film industry has said hello to him in the past two days.

It was Sun Honglei who called this time, "Hey? Brother Honglei? You're here to throw in the towel, too? ”

"Go, what nonsense are you talking about? Our movie hasn't been released yet, so I'll admit defeat to you first? ”

Sun Honglei still has a bit of luck, after all, Brother Chen Kai's name is too big.

Even the flood of bad reviews when Wuji was released did not stop the film from winning the annual box office champion.

The audience's tolerance for a director will not collapse because of a movie, as long as Chen Kaige's name is hung on the cinema, he can easily win 20% of the film scheduling rate.

Their leading actors are put together, and they are worth more than 340 million, Ji Yun's box office data is a bit difficult, but it is not unattainable.

Besides...

Back then, I earned 115 million with an investment of 750,000 yuan, and it was not a problem for us to earn 400 million yuan in Mei Lanfang!

And there are more audiences in the Lunar New Year stalls, maybe this Mei Lanfang will be able to win another box office champion.

"I'll still symbolically congratulate you."

"Are you going to fight with Little Steel Cannon?" Ji Yun suddenly reminded. "I heard that this year he picked up a low-budget comedy again."

There was an immediate silence on the other end of the phone.

Who doesn't know that Chinese New Year comedies have always been Xiaogangcang's strong point.

After the failure of the night banquet, the little steel cannon finally found its place in the rallying call.

This is not true, do not disturb, more like his masterpiece.

He is really good at this way, from August to October, two months of filming time plus post-publicity, and he will be ready to play in the ring on December 8th.

Facing Brother Chen Kai, he was not stunned at all.

"Then touch him, who is afraid of whom!"

"Brother Honglei, we still have a movie to be released for the Chinese New Year, which is also a comedy."

Sun Honglei snorted for a long time, and then said a cruel sentence: "Don't let me play too many roles!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yun was about to tease a few words, and there was a busy tone on the phone.

Putting down the phone, Ji Yun looked at Wen Dong opposite.

"You go on."

Wen Dong nodded, "You really stepped up that staircase this time." ”

Looking at the thick stack of invitations in front of him, Ji Yun couldn't help but show his smugness.

Looking closely at the several big-budget movies that Ji Yun starred in, he is not the protagonist in embroidered spring knives and kung fu, killing is considered to be no profit or loss, and he has not made any waves in the market, not only has there been no outstanding results at the box office, but even in terms of awards, he has won all the nominations and ended up with nothing.

Although the disciple is the protagonist, it is Liu Tianwang who really carries the box office, and the Shinjuku incident is completely overshadowed by the light of the eldest brother.

Only this steel piano, without the cooperation of big-name stars, Ji Yun supported 340 million results on his own.

"Now you can also enter the eyes of those big directors, most of them used to be only supporting role invitations, but now at least they have started a second time."

The entertainment industry is like this, simple and clear, if you have the ability, you can get good resources and sought after.

"Do you have any good books?"

Wen Dong shook his head, "No." ”

He now understands Ji Yun's path, and he is more particular about choosing a script than a daughter-in-law.

The success of the steel piano not only proves Ji Yun's strength to fight the box office alone, but also shows the market that the company has the ability to create movies on its own.

It marks that in the future, when the company makes movies and invests again, it will never be as embarrassed as a steel piano.

Thinking of this, he snickered, "Those investors who refused to invest at the beginning have regretted their bowels at this time." ”

Ji Yun spit out a puff of smoke rings: "Fortunately, they didn't invest, otherwise we would have to share more." ”

The richest man in Xihong City to be launched by the company next must be more popular than the steel piano, but this story is straightforward and the conflict is obvious, and anyone can see the potential of this film.

As a result, the investment funds far exceeded expectations, and when the box office came down, it might not necessarily be able to make more money than the steel piano.

"There are only a few months left before the Chinese New Year, and you have to be busy."

Ji Yun nodded, saying that it didn't matter, anyway, he had rested enough.

This half-month roadshow made him feel pain and happiness, the audience is emotional, and they are willing to respond if you put in the effort.

When the richest man in Xihong City is released, he still has to run like this.

"Huayi held a celebration party for you tonight, it seems to be called a piano banquet, I'll help you next."

"Okay." Ji Yun smashed it, smashed it, and he couldn't get around it.

It's a matter of levels, the more you go up, the smaller the circle becomes, and people who have not been in contact with it before will jump out one by one, and there will always be contact after not being in contact now.

"It's just a bad name."

Wen Dong raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the name good?" People are afraid that the teacher will be unknown, after all, our film is an independently produced movie, so we set up a banquet under the name of the piano. ”

"It sounds like a nail rake banquet in Journey to the West."

"Yes." Wen Dong nodded, "Wait for your Zhu Bajie to come to the door." ”

Ji Yun rolled his eyes, "What about after that?" ”

"After that, I'll go and receive the awards, the Tokyo Film Festival, the Sydney Film Festival, and the Asian Film Golden Horse Award or something."

"Golden Horse Awards?" Ji Yun scratched his head, "Didn't we miss the submission date of the Golden Horse Awards?" ”

Wen Dong glanced at him with disdain, "The wind is on, you nominated for Best Supporting Actor." ”

"Oh, I've forgotten about this stubble when I'm so busy."

"When you come back after receiving the award, you can almost promote the richest man in Xihong City, at that time, if you are not honest, do not disturb the next screening, at the end of the year, just to win a wave of box office, our movie is happy for the family, it is quite suitable for the feeling of laughing at the New Year."

"Okay."

Hearing that the itinerary was so full, Ji Yun suddenly felt a little powerless.

"By the way, I've pushed all these books for you, and I can't even look at them." Wen Dong sighed, "Let's make our own in the future, or take on some movies with good box office reputation, don't tarnish our reputation." ”

Ji Yun nodded, this was also a helpless move.

In the studio, Ji Yun is still the façade, and he is the leader who carries the entire company forward.

Wen Dong and artists can make mistakes, but Ji Yun can't...

Before Huang Xuan, the successor, did not make a name for himself and carried the box office, all the circle money was basically insulated from Ji Yun.

"I'd love to go to the Koshihikari Treasure Box film."

"Listen to me, it's not fun, he will bring it to you when the time comes, and the audience must not point at your nose and scold you?"

Ji Yun shook his head regretfully, he really wanted to get up close and personal with the little black fat man's version of Cao Cao.
