Chapter 385: More Beautiful at Night
"Boss, you're here!" Mina saw Chen Jing and immediately greeted her with a smile. Chen Jing said with a smile,
"Your movie is released, and the opportunity is rare, of course I have to come to cheer." On November 16, 2015, "Predecessor 2", starring Tian Ai and Zheng Kai, and starring Mei Na and Han Geng, held its premiere in the imperial capital.
"Predecessor Raiders" previously obtained a box office of 129 million with an investment of 13 million, and it earned and the reputation will be good, so the second sequel was launched as planned.
It's just that the focus of the story has shifted from the first male and female protagonists Mei Na and Han Geng to the male and female protagonists Er Tianai and Zheng Kai.
As soon as the filming of "Ex" started, Chen Jing told Tian Yusheng that he would make it into a series, so no matter what the results of "Ex 2" are, "Ex 3" is already in preparation.
As for the story of the third part, it naturally turned back to Mina and Han Geng. The investment in "Predecessor 2" is only 16 million, but it took 15 million and 31 million to publicize it, and the box office will be over 100 million yuan.
After all, now that the mainland film market is hot, breaking 100 million has become the norm, and with "Ex" as the foundation, it is estimated that breaking 200 million box office should not be a big problem.
"Boss Chen, you're here!" Zheng Kai smiled and came over and punched Chen Jing in the chest.
"Brother Kaizi!" Chen Jing returned the punch with a smile. Zheng Kai laughed helplessly when he heard this, and he didn't bother to complain.
"It's coming!" Han looked at his former teammates with some emotion. Now the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger.
"It's coming!" Chen Jing smiled and nodded.
"Boss!" Tian Ai came over directly and hugged Chen Jing. Chen Jing said with a smile,
"It's a beautiful day!" Hearing this, Tian Ai glanced at Chen Jing coquettishly, bit her red lips and whispered,
"It's prettier at night." Chen Jing smiled meaningfully after hearing this.
"Director Tian!"
"Welcome to Boss Chen!" Tian Yusheng said with a smile. …… After greeting the main creators, Chen Jing went directly into the theater and sat down.
Soon, the premiere of "Predecessor 2" began, during which Chen Jing was also invited to the platform, after all, Chen Jing's popularity and appeal, it would be too undesirable not to use it.
Chen Jing naturally praised a few words, saying that she was optimistic about Yunyun, and then stepped down and waited for the movie to start. Half an hour later, the interaction ended, and "Predecessor 2" was officially screened.
"Predecessor 2" actually goes
"Sex comedy style", the film continues the style of joke comedy, and there are also many golden sentences about love, which is hilarious.
The kidney-going sex comedy part is okay, and the heart-to-heart part is a little embarrassing, but this kind of film is purely for fun, and the comedy performance is okay.
The focus on marketing is definitely all kinds of golden sentences and funny. After the premiere of "Predecessor 2", Chen Jing was about to drive away, but Tianai quickly chased after her.
"Boss, do you have time tonight?" Tian Ai directly sat on the co-pilot and looked at Chen Jing and said with a smile,
"How about we go for a late-night snack?" Chen Jing couldn't help but laugh when she heard the supper,
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"Let's go first!" Tian Ai laughed. Chen Jing got off the gas pedal when she heard this, and drove.
"What do you want to eat?" Chen Jing looked at Tian Ai's pretty face and asked. Tian Ai didn't answer, but leaned over directly.
Chen Jing couldn't help but tense up, and then slowly let out a long breath. Subsequently, a turning around! ……
"Where is this?" Tian Ai looked at the villa in front of him curiously,
"Is it your new villa?" Chen Jing replied,
"If you like it, this place will be yours in the future!"
"What?" Tian Ai was stunned when he heard this, and said in disbelief,
"Really?" Chen Jing smiled and directly stuffed the key into Tianai's hand, and the answer was self-evident.
Tian Ai looked at the key in his hand, blinked his beautiful eyes, and then screamed and spun around the villa.
"Isn't this the same as Mina's villa?" Tian Ai asked excitedly.
Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, it seems that Tianai knows about Mina,
"Almost!" Tianai looked at this place excitedly and touched there, while Chen Jing sat on the sofa and replied to Meina's message.
"Ah......" only heard a scream, and Tian Ai flew over and directly blocked Chen Jing. ……
"Charlotte's Troubles" was officially drawn, and the box office broke 1.85 billion yuan!" --- film 1905
"1.85 billion, "Charlotte's Troubles" ranks 4th in mainland film history and 2nd in domestic production!" --- reported by Sohu Entertainment
"Happy Twist's film debut exploded at the box office, and I want to take advantage of the situation to go public!" ---NetYi Entertainment...... On November 29, 2015, the first youth comedy "Charlotte Troubles", invested by Crystal Entertainment and crossed by Happy Twist, was officially drawn in major theaters.
This comedy film adapted from a drama finally hit an astonishing box office of 1.85 billion yuan with its excellent reputation, far exceeding the 1.438 billion in the previous life!
This box office performance surpassed "Hong Kong" with 1.61 billion, becoming the runner-up at the domestic film box office second only to "Monster Hunt" with 2.456 billion!
At the same time, "Charlotte's Troubles" has also become the box office champion in mainland film history after "Monster Hunt", "Fast and Furious 7" and "Transformers 4"!
"Charlotte's Troubles" has undoubtedly become the biggest box office dark horse in the mainland film industry this year. The production cost of this small-budget comedy is only 30 million, plus the 30 million yuan promoted, the total cost is only 60 million yuan, but in the end, it broke out with a box office of 1.85 billion, and the return on investment is as high as 37 times!
Because "Charlotte's Troubles" was exclusively invested by Crystal Entertainment, and Happy Twist did not participate in the investment because it was the first crossover movie.
In addition, the distribution of the film is also exclusively operated by Crystal Entertainment, so Crystal Entertainment can get a total of 43% of the box office share of the production + distribution of "Charlotte's Troubles".
In other words, Crystal Entertainment can obtain a revenue of 729 million, and after removing investment costs and taxes, Crystal Entertainment's net profit from investing in "Charlotte's Troubles" is 560 million yuan!
A movie made a net profit of 560 million, which made countless capitals and companies jealous. This also made Crystal Entertainment more active in the negotiations with Pain Xun on investment and shares.
Relying on the explosion of many film and television dramas this year, the performance has already surpassed that of the private leader Huayi, so Crystal Entertainment has raised its valuation to 60 billion when talking about shareholding!
After all, the market value of Huayi, whose performance is worse than that of Crystal Entertainment, is about to be 90 billion! In this regard, Pain Xun is also a little scratching his head, the longer this time drags on, the higher the valuation of Crystal Entertainment seems to be!
In addition to Pain Xun, Ahri, Qiandu, Huayi and other companies, as well as many venture capital funds, are eyeing Crystal Entertainment and want to invest in shares and get a piece of the pie.
Crystal Entertainment has already become a super sweet spot in the industry! Happy Twist itself also regretted it, obviously they didn't expect the movie to be so profitable, and they knew that they had to invest some money in it.
It's just that it's the first time to cross the border, and everyone is not confident. However, with the box office explosion of "Charlotte's Troubles", Happy Twist has strengthened the company's policy, relying on the production of high-quality content, and then converting it into dramas, movies and other forms of profit.
With Zhuyu of "Charlotte's Troubles" in front, Happy Twist's confidence has greatly increased, and she is already preparing the company's second film.
It's just that this time, Happy Twist is definitely going to occupy more than half of the investment, and Crystal Entertainment is definitely going to pull it up, after all, the distribution still needs Crystal Entertainment to contribute.
Happy Twist can't do anything like no longer cooperate with Crystal Entertainment if it is popular. It's just that the investment share is definitely impossible to give too much to Crystal Entertainment.
In addition, the box office explosion of "Charlotte's Troubles" is also a big positive for Happy Twist, because Happy Twist is seeking to be listed on the New Third Board.
And if nothing else, it will be available at the end of December 2015. The box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" of 1.85 billion yuan has also made Chen Jing's personal cumulative box office reach 11.9 billion yuan, which is about to exceed 12 billion, the undisputed king of the box office!
Two days after ...... painting of "Charlotte's Troubles", Crystal Entertainment held a press conference for Chen Jing's second personal film "Captain Touching Gold".
"Boss!" Xiao Di glanced at Chen Jing, and then his eyes wandered and he didn't dare to look at Chen Jing. Chen Jing, who was admiring Xiaodi's seductive curves, raised her eyebrows when she saw this,
"How's it going, I'm tired from recording "Running Man 3" recently, right?" Xiao Di smiled,
"It's okay, I'm used to it!"
"Boss Chen, Xiaodi!" Tianbao walked over and smiled.
"Sister Bao'er!" Xiao Di immediately greeted. Chen Jing looked at Tianbao and nodded with a smile,
"I thought you wouldn't be able to come!" Tianbao smiled,
"Boss Chen's start-up press conference, I have to come by rocket." Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, and then Chen Kun, Huang Bo and Xia Yu also arrived.
After greeting for a while, Chen Jing appeared with a group of leading actors.
"Kacha Kacha!" When the media reporter saw Chen Jing and the others appearing, it was a surprise. After Chen Jing and the others sat down, they cooperated with the media for a while.
"Thank you for taking the time to participate in the launch conference of the second film "Touching the Golden Captain" jointly invested by Crystal Entertainment and Wanda, and directed by Chen Jing!" The final title of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Touching the Golden Captain" was set as "Touching the Golden Captain", just like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon" was finally called "Looking for the Dragon".
"Director Chen, "Touching the Golden Captain" and the upcoming "Looking for the Dragon" are both adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", is there a sequel relationship between the two?" Chen Jing smiled when she heard this,
"It's indeed a sequel, but "Touching the Golden Captain" is the beginning of the series "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and if you have to say it, it should be a prequel to "Looking for the Dragon". It tells the story of Iron Triangle before it went to the United States, and it is also the beginning of all stories. ”
"Director Chen, "Strange Her" is so successful, why did the second one go to make a tomb robbery movie, this gap is a bit big?"
"One is that I don't want to limit myself to a certain type of film, I want to try different styles and genres. Second, I am a fan of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", this book is really wonderful, I can't help but indulge in it. The third is my own personal hope, I hope to make "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" into a Chinese version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Director Chen, what do you think of the movie "Looking for the Dragon"?"
"Director Wu is very talented, as can be seen from "Sword Laughter", in addition to Chen Kun, Huang Bo, Xia Yu and other powerful factions to join, this movie will inevitably succeed." Chen Jing said directly.
"Director Chen, from the fact that you invited Chen Kun, Huang Bo, Tianbao, and Xia Yu, it can be seen that you want to keep the same as the original cast of "Looking for the Dragon" and create an original sequel, but why did the heroine change to Xiaodi?" Chen Jing smiled when she heard this,
"Of course, it's because Xiao Di is suitable for this role, Shirley Yang is a mixed-race child, and Xiao Di is from the frontier, so she is the most suitable in terms of appearance, she is the Shirley Yang in my mind!"
"Chen Kun, why did you take "Touching the Golden Captain" again? What's it like working with two different directors? ”
"Huang Bo, I was a competitor with Boss Chen before, how do you feel about cooperating now?"
"Xiaodi, do you have anything to say about replacing Shu Qi as the female number one?" ...... launch conference of "Touching the Golden Captain" attracted many media reporters, because this is Chen Jing's second directorial work.
And Chen Jing's debut film broke 1 billion at the box office, and she is now the king of the box office in the mainland. In addition, Chen Kun, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Xiaodi, and Tianbao's lineup is also star-studded enough.
Therefore, the press conference lasted for two hours before it had to end with Chen Jing's interruption. After the launch conference, Chen Jing took a group of creators to the crew to hold a start-up ceremony.
