Chapter 364: "Bright Sword" is finished
At the same time that Xu Ji went to participate in the National Acceptance Film Festival, the news of the award for "Fireworks in the Day" was also directly transmitted back to China.
When Chinese films did not win awards, in fact, there were not many people who paid attention to the three major Europa film festivals.
But when Huaxia's films won these international awards, they were able to appear on the hot search in a short period of time.
Netizens have a sense of honor.
Of course, what makes everyone most curious is what kind of movie this award-winning "Fireworks in the Day" is.
Unlike some other literary films, the starring role of this movie is actually much more well-known than some regular actors in literary films.
Needless to say, She Yue naturally said that the corner of Huang Rong in the withering some time ago made her popularity reborn and increased a lot.
At the same time, there is also Wan Rongli, since he reappeared in the public's field of vision in "Wushuang", although he does not have many fans, his fame is still not low.
Coupled with the award-winning blessing of the Guona Film Festival, Wan Rongli is now also a Guona actor.
Although the movie has not yet been released, there is not even news of a finalization.
But the attention is already high.
Generally speaking, although it is a literary film, as long as it is award-winning, there are few things that cannot be recovered at the box office.
After all, the production cost of most literary films is relatively low.
Compared with many commercial films, it is simpler to return to the cost.
Of course, it is true that you don't have to think much about counting on literary films to make money or something.
Even if the box office is high, it will not be high.
......
Even the people of Tongji Entertainment, including You Man, never thought about how high the box office of this "Fireworks in the Day" could be.
It's just because it was just in time for the Guona to win the award, and Wan Rongli has become the new Guona actor among domestic actors after more than ten years.
This time is indeed a good time for the movie to be released and broadcast.
In addition, the Television and Radio Bureau happened to pass the review, so the work of releasing the new movie was directly arranged.
Even except for the popularity brought by the Guona Film Festival, it was directly released in major theaters without going through the normal publicity process.
The number of films scheduled is also low, and more theaters have only only got more than a dozen films.
But when the box office came out on the first day, it scared everyone.
directly got a box office of more than 10 million.
The attendance rate is as high as more than 50, and in many places there is even a situation where it is difficult to get a ticket.
directly stunned some other film parties in the same period.
Even You Man, who arranged the release, didn't expect it.
After all, the overall investment in this "Fireworks in the Day" is actually less than 20 million.
Now one day after the premiere, it has already won a box office that is about the same as the investment cost.
Although it is said that it will be divided with the theater chain, it is scary enough.
Overall, it is because the film and television works produced by Tongji Entertainment are indeed well-known.
Coupled with the endorsement of the National Film Festival, such a result does not seem to be difficult to understand.
Although it is said that in the movies of the same period, it can only rank third and fourth.
But those are commercial films that have been released for a long time.
It's not the same track as "Fireworks in the Day" at all.
......
"This Tongji entertainment is really outrageous!"
A certain film and television company, their scale is actually not small.
Although it is definitely not as good as the three major ones, it has been in the entertainment industry for many years.
has its own way and way of survival.
The annual revenue can be maintained at more than 100 million yuan.
It can be regarded as a relatively backbone force in the film and television industry.
"I don't quite understand it either."
"You said that commercial films are forgotten, why not only does this literary film not lose money, but it also makes a lot of money watching like this?"
The two CEOs of this company are about to doubt their lives at this time.
Mainly because the size of their company is placed here, so most of them are films with little investment.
As a result, there are two movies this year, one for the Spring Festival and one at the end of April.
Unexpectedly, without exception, they met the movies of Tongji Entertainment.
And its own box office has also been greatly affected.
"I really want to ask Xu Ji to be the queen screenwriter for our company."
"With his script, basically every movie can be big with a small one."
""Rise to Fame" is like this, even "Hello! Mr. Tree" and this time "Fireworks in the Day" will not lose money. ”
Hearing this, the other boss couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Can you have some fun?"
"Since we all have a script, what kind of low-budget movies do we have?"
"Just put all our money on it."
Hearing this, the other person also reacted.
Not really.
Low-budget movies do have a high rate of return, but making money is limited after all.
But if it's a "Infernal Affairs" or something, that's really making money.
"But I can only think about it."
"It is said that there are tens of millions of dollars to buy Xu Ji's scripts now."
"But they don't sell it."
Although both of them have fantasies, they still know very well that these are impossible.
"It's me, and I don't sell it."
"If you're sure you're going to make money, why sell it?"
"My company also has money to invest, and Xu Ji himself is the boss."
"Of course, it's for the director of my own company."
......
Of course, except for the director of Tongji Entertainment, it doesn't mean that no one can really get Xu Ji's script.
For example, Song Ideal.
At this time, Song Ideal was filming the last scene of "Bright Sword".
He was very optimistic about this drama from the beginning.
So the shooting is also very serious.
Although the progress of the shooting was not very fast, it was basically filmed without a break, and it really didn't take too much time.
Of course, finishing is only the first step.
Post-production is also crucial.
And Song Ideal actually has a lot of ideas about this anti-Japanese drama.
When editing in the later stage, he didn't dare to start on his own easily.
I'll have to ask Xu Ji what he thinks.
"Alright, the last one is over."
"I announce that the entire drama of "Bright Sword" has been completed!
! ”
As Song Ideal finished speaking, there were bursts of cheers on the set.
During this filming time, they really didn't rest at all and were busy all the time.
Now that the shooting is complete, many people can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, Song Ideal was the most tired, but he himself was very excited throughout the whole process, and he didn't look tired at all.
The finale banquet or something was temporarily put on hold, and Song Ideal directly gave everyone a day off first.
Just rest well, and wait for the next day to hold a finale banquet.
Even Song Ideal was, after returning to the hotel, he fell asleep directly on the bed.
.......
Until his mobile phone rang, Song Ideal was woken up this time.
After glancing at the time, the hotel that had finished at nine o'clock in the morning was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
It is indeed the first time since the filming of "Bright Sword" started that I slept so comfortably.
"Hello?"
Song Ideal picked up the phone.
Then I heard the voice of Kiwi Vice President Congzhu.
"Director Song, congratulations on the completion of your new drama."
Song Ideal was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party obviously arranged eyeliner in his crew?
Otherwise, I must have called just after I finished it.
At this time, Congzhu, who was in his office, although his tone was very relaxed, his attitude was very serious.
Obviously, she attached great importance to this phone call to Song Ideal.
Tongji Entertainment's dramas are all cooperated with Station G, and there is basically no chance.
So after knowing that Song Ideal and Tongji Entertainment had cooperated, she paid extra attention to Song Ideal's new drama.
If nothing else, it should be the script given by Xu Ji.
So it's worth taking so seriously.
"Director Song, we said before, the cooperation ......"
"You promised well at the beginning, will it be a little unauthentic to regret it now?"
Congzhu was not surprised at all by the change of Song ideals.
What Congzhu promised at the beginning was that as long as the other party asked for the script from Xu Ji, he would cooperate with them with kiwi fruit in a limited way.
Then the next step will be to provide Song Ideal's company with a copyright budget of three new dramas of 50 million.
It is equivalent to the fact that the drama has not yet been filmed, so I directly bought the copyright first.
Although the copyright of 50 million is not high, as long as Song Ideal Company makes these three dramas, it is estimated that it will be able to make at least half of the money.
And more importantly, for Song Ideal, the new drama does not have any risk of loss at all.
When Song Ideal heard it, he really promised well.
As a result, I didn't expect that after getting Xu Ji's script, I directly regretted it.
Every time Congzhu mentions this, he directly tries to mix it up with haha.
I didn't sign the contract at the beginning, and I couldn't help the other party from the bamboo.
Sure enough, hearing Congzhu's mention of the copyright of the new drama, Song Ideal began to go around in circles again.
Anyway, it's impossible to book the new drama directly to Kiwifruit.
Song Ideal obviously understands the principle of waiting for the price to sell.
is also because now that the whole drama has been filmed, he knows what the quality of this drama is.
It is very likely that the copyright fee is definitely higher than the original "My Captain, My Group".
After all, many of the plots in this "Bright Sword" will actually make ordinary audiences like it more.
Overall, the plot in the early stage is not so serious.
Of course, if you send a knife or something later, that's Xu Ji's problem.
At that time, the audience is estimated to be looking for trouble, and they are all looking for Xu Ji, the screenwriter.
It has nothing to do with him as a director.
After talking for a long time, Congzhu hung up the phone helplessly.
There is still no progress.
Now the only advantage of kiwifruit is to know all kinds of news about Song Ideal's new drama in advance than other platforms.
But if you want to win the copyright, it is probably not that simple.
Especially in the face of a wealthy master like Penguin Video.
If it really depends on who pays a higher copyright fee, it really doesn't necessarily match.
If it is said that Congzhu was only a little concerned about Song Ideal's new drama before.
Now it has been raised to a very high level.
is mainly the previous "Legend of the Shooting Heroes", which is enough to prove the horror of Xu Ji.
Even a theme like martial arts, which is so unpopular that almost no one shoots it, can make it a popular now.
Let a bunch of companies in the film and television industry follow the trend to make martial arts dramas.
However, this is not over yet, and when they relaxed their vigilance a little, there was suddenly another "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
even caught them off guard, and directly announced that the new drama was a pounce.
The kiwi fruit barely recovered the cost under the operation of breaking the wrist from the bamboo hero, and on the Penguin and Potato side, the publicity fee was lost a lot of money.
Although the current "Ghost Blows the Lamp" has not yet been broadcast, it is only about halfway through, but the popularity has completely shown a crushing scene.
Not to mention the new dramas on their three major platforms, even many popular variety shows and the like have been greatly affected.
Everywhere you go, you can see people discussing the plot of this "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
It has even led to many people's research on the profession of tomb robbing.
The most outrageous thing is that there are police officers who track down the eucalyptus of a tomb robber, and after watching the ghost blow out the lamp, they are inspired.
It really broke the eucalyptus in a very short period of time and arrested the gang of tomb robbers.
This has raised the popularity of this drama to another level.
Congzhu has to believe in evil, Xu Ji is indeed a very special existence.
Especially the script he wrote, even if it is not a drama invested by Tongji Entertainment.
But it is still very likely to become a hit drama.
Coupled with Song Ideal's inconsistent attitude when he got the script, Congzhu affirmed this even more.
"The news of the completion of Song Ideal's new drama shouldn't have spread yet, right?"
He asked from the bamboo opening.
When the assistant heard this, he also replied, "Probably not." ”
"It is estimated that several other companies do not know that Song Ideal's new drama is a script written by Xu Ji."
Congzhu actually didn't dare to bet, especially when he felt that if Chi Jiang on the side of the G station knew, he would definitely rush over as soon as possible.
The current G station is not the same as it was then.
Holding the thighs of Tongji Entertainment and Xu Ji, the current G station is indeed quite rich.
I don't know how much I earned just for the membership fees of shooting and ghost blowing lanterns.
And that's not even counting the ads or anything in there.
"No, determine the time for Song Ideal to return to the capital, and I will personally run it then."
Congzhu finally said to his assistant.
......
The completion of "Bright Sword" soon spread to Tongji Entertainment.
After all, this drama is a joint investment and filming of two companies.
Although Tongji Entertainment did not spend money, Xu Ji's script also accounted for the proportion of investment.
And Song Ideal didn't want this to be the last cooperation with Xu Ji, so naturally he needed to have a good relationship with Tongji Entertainment.
Maybe Xu Ji and Tongji Entertainment didn't care very much, but Song Ideal still insisted on reporting the progress in real time.
This can be regarded as one of his attitudes.
Of course, Song Ideal actually won the Yunyu Award for Best TV Series after the last "My Leader, My Group", but he doesn't care much about awards and honors.
】
On the contrary, it is the various achievements of the drama, and Song Ideal now attaches more importance to it.
After all, "My Leader, My Group" had a good reputation at that time, but it was not a hit drama.
Song Ideal is still very eager to make a hit drama.
And this "Bright Sword" does have such potential.
Let Song Ideal also see some hope.
Of course, as for whether it can catch fire, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart.
