Chapter 420: Tongji Entertainment's Terrifying Box Office Appeal

This time, Poel came to find Xu Ji, and he definitely didn't come to listen to the other party's Versailles.

As the boss of Tongji Entertainment, he suddenly said that he regretted founding the company Tongji Entertainment, and he felt that there was no other suitable feeling except for ***.

"Director Xu, I'm here this time ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Xu Ji.

"I know, the script."

Seeing that Xu Ji said it before him, Pang Er quickly nodded, still very happy.

If you look at it this way, it's really possible to get the script today.

"I'm not done yet, I'll give it to you in two days."

Ignoring Pang Er's resentful expression, Xu Ji hurriedly left You Man's office on his own.

"You see I'm useless."

"He's the boss, I can't take care of it."

You Man found that Pang Er's eyes fell on him, so he could only spread his hands helplessly.

......

In the next National Day holiday, there was no so-called dark horse.

More than 90% of the box office of the film market is still occupied by the five most popular movies before.

What is surprising is that Sang Shaolong and many film and television self-media originally felt that the box office champion would be produced in Tianwu and smallpox.

But in the end, the highest box office in the week was "Detective", a suspense film that seems to have a somewhat niche style.

This has something to do with the word-of-mouth of the movie, but it seems that it is not just because of the word-of-mouth of the movie.

In the course of a week, Petal's online rating slipped and dropped by 9 points.

But there was not much fluctuation, and it still became the highest-rated existence among the National Day movies with a high score of 8.9.

It's just that even if the reputation of the movie is good, if the genre audience is not large, it still can't get a box office result of more than 1 billion in a week.

The only thing that can be explained is the box office appeal of Tongji Entertainment or Xu Ji.

This phenomenon is probably the first time that such a phenomenon has occurred in the current Chinese film industry.

There are directors or actors who show good box office appeal, but as a screenwriter, Xu Ji is still the first person to do this in such an capacity.

Box office appeal is actually a bit unclear.

Sometimes, when some viewers buy tickets to watch movies, they buy tickets directly because of a familiar actor, even regardless of the theme of the movie or anything else.

This is the effect that an actor or director has accumulated over time by relying on his own work.

Those who can do this are not the best in the industry without exception.

Almost all of them are some actresses or super-first-line directors.

Xu Ji is different, he is a director himself, but this "Detective" is not directed by Xu Ji, he just provides the script and supervises the quality of the film as the producer of the film.

But even so, there are still a large number of audiences, and when they heard the new movie of Tongji Entertainment, Xu Ji screenwrote a few keywords, and they bought tickets directly.

The remarks that Tongji is produced and must be a boutique are not new, but the box office appeal shown this time still surprises many people.

Even if it is like "Detective", the style is very strong, and the theme seems to be very niche.

It can still attract a large number of viewers to watch.

Some film critics described the box office appeal of Xu Ji and Tongji Entertainment as if they were going against the version.

Of course, for example, Sang Shaolong saw that "Detective" has now temporarily become the box office champion of the National Day file, but he is actually happy in his heart.

Anyway, the quality of this "Detective" is quite high.

Such a film, although it is a bit incredible to get such a high box office as it is now.

But at least he is qualified, and Xu Ji has not lived up to his reputation and box office appeal.

You can start from the basics

and the quality of the finished film, it can be seen that Tongji is very serious from shooting to post-production.

If films like "Detective" keep appearing, then it really belongs to good money driving out bad money.

For ordinary audiences, it is definitely a good thing.

After all, if the market is flooded with a large number of bad movies and the box office is still very high, it will be a disaster.

It can be clearly seen that with the emergence of Tongji Entertainment, the TV drama market and the film market have begun to undergo great changes.

is no longer like before, crazy piling up big-name actors, not paying attention to production and scripts.

The audience's requirements are also constantly improving in the works of Tongji Entertainment.

Even suspense films, which were originally very niche genres, have successfully become a popular theme choice by relying on a suspense theater of Tongji Entertainment.

Many netizens are discussing that if there are a few more companies like Tongji Entertainment in the entertainment industry, it will definitely be a great thing for ordinary audiences.

But obviously, this is not possible at the moment.

The development process of Tongji Entertainment has been studied by many people.

The result is that unless there is another trace, it is basically impossible to replicate the successful route of Tongji Entertainment.

......

However, in addition to the good box office performance of "Detective", in fact, the results of the other five movies are also okay.

The five movies in this year's National Day file are not particularly bad on the whole.

The most surprising thing is that the official director Ruan Chong's film has successfully surpassed the two commercial blockbusters of smallpox and sky dance, and is currently ranked second with a cumulative box office of more than 900 million.

The third and fourth places were occupied by two commercial blockbusters, both of which were in the early 700 million.

The lowest box office was Zang Sheng's tribute film, which only got a box office result of 500 million.

The main reason is that it is too contradictory, not enough commercial at the same time, and not deep enough.

The score has fallen again and again, and it seems that it is about to drop by 7 points.

Zang Sheng, as a well-known director who ranks third among super-first-line directors, obviously did not expect such an achievement in the new movie.

Even the follow-up may not even have a box office of 1 billion.

If you change to a new director, you can still say it in the past, but if you change it to Zang Sheng, it will be a big overturn.

......

"Fortunately, Director Ruan chose to also release it on the National Day, otherwise, the indicators of the gift film may not be able to be completed."

At this time, at the video conference, several directors of the gift film, except for Xu Ji, the person whose film has been screened and the task has been completed, the other four people have gathered.

Deng Shengxing suddenly spoke, and the meaning of the arch fire was obvious.

Originally, everyone thought that most of the two gift films in this National Day file were Zang Sheng's ability to get a high box office.

And Ruan Chong is just a companion.

Who knew that the final result had been reversed, and now Ruan Chong's movie has performed quite well at the box office.

Zang Sheng's unexpectedly showed some signs of pounce.

Ruan Chong hurriedly explained:

"No one knows about the film market, it's just my luck."

"And the box office isn't everything."

Ruan Chong knew that he had robbed Zang Sheng's National Day file before.

At this time, the box office performance of his movie is so good, there is no need to get cheap and sell well.

To their surprise, Zang Sheng was very calm at this time.

even said directly: "Skills are not as good as people, it's nothing."

"I really didn't think about a lot of things this time, and the script was not polished well."

Deng Shengxing was very surprised, in his impression, Zang Sheng was a very arrogant character.

Now it suddenly seems like a different person.

But it's nothing to look at the arch fire

After the effect, he immediately changed the topic:

"I can understand the rest, but Xu Ji himself is also the director of the tribute film project."

"What's the matter with deliberately letting your company's movies grab the box office with us on the National Day?"

"This boss, sure enough, still pays more attention to profits."

In fact, Deng Shengxing's words came out with a sour taste.

When the trailer of "Detective" was released, he was actually a little unimpressed.

After all, it is a niche theme like suspense, and the market is limited there.

Even if it is placed in the National Day file, it still can't change this.

Who knew that now that the movie is released, Tongji Entertainment has won the box office championship for a week in the National Day file.

"It's just normal market competition, and we don't plan to have privileges in the gift film project."

"On the contrary, it is only in the normal film environment that the ultimate influence can be seen."

Deng Shengxing's words were finished, and Duan Shengyu, who had been silent and didn't speak much just now, spoke instead.

The performance of the calf guard is very obvious.

Compared with Deng Shengxing, Duan Shengyu certainly doesn't have to think about it, he will directly choose Xu Ji.

There is no comparison between the two at all.

In Duan Shengyu's heart, although they are all super first-line directors, there are too many poor statuses.

......

Deng Shengxing didn't expect that Duan Shengyu would speak for Xu Ji so directly.

Logically speaking, as an official leader, there should not be such an obvious bias.

But Duan Shengyu said this, so he couldn't continue to answer.

To his surprise, not only Duan Shengyu spoke, but Hu Lan at this time also said, "Elder Duan is right, and the task of Xu Ji has been successfully completed or even exceeded."

"It is impossible to develop normally, and we have to make concessions."

"Director Deng, as the director of smallpox, why didn't he let the film of smallpox be postponed this time?"

Duan Shengyu was still a little subtle in his speech, and he didn't directly scold him.

But as Hu Lan, who is still serving in the army, has no intention of getting used to it.

At this time, Deng Shengxing realized that he had said the wrong thing.

What he didn't expect was that Xu Ji was not there, and the two leaders still protected him so directly.

"Minister Hu laughed, I'm just a director, and I can't make decisions about the company."

Deng Shengxing said this in order to alleviate the embarrassment.

......

Wang Huilan, who had never had a sense of existence before, also said at this time:

"Director Deng has some requirements for Director Xu, too."

"It's really strict with others and lenient with yourself."

Wang Huilan is a person from Tianwu, and she can be regarded as an old man who was picked up by Ji Yeming at the beginning.

is now able to become a well-known super-first-line director, and most of the credit is actually related to Tianwu and Ji Yeming.

And a very important point is that Ji Yiyang is considered to have grown up with her.

When I was a child, I often went to the company to play, and I called him Aunt Wang in private.

Xu Ji is the boss of Ji Yiyang, and Wang Huilan's character is the kind that helps relatives and does not help.

What's more, this time it is still a little more reasonable.

"Director Deng may also be angry."

Ruan Zhong said suddenly.

It made Deng Shengxing breathe a sigh of relief, although he was not familiar with Ruan Chong, but the other party helped him speak.

But what he didn't expect was that Ruan Chong suddenly changed his words.

"But I hope I can say it in front of Director Xu next time, otherwise it won't be useful for us to hear this kind of advice."

Ruan Chong is certainly not stupid, he is the official director.

As a leader, Duan Shengyu said that, he naturally knew who to help.

And Xu Ji has a good relationship with the actors on the official side, as the official director, there is actually no grudge between the two, and even the future

There may also be a possibility of cooperation.

Deng Shengxing was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

He just complained a little, but he didn't expect to be besieged by everyone.

Does Xu Ji have such a high status?

Or is his relationship with the rest of these people so good?

At this time, he subconsciously looked at Zang Sheng in one of the windows on the screen.

The other party is the only one who has not spoken, and the relationship between Phoenix Entertainment and Tongji is well known.

It shouldn't be a problem to say a few words for yourself.

Zang Sheng didn't disappoint him, and finally spoke.

But the content almost blacked his eyes.

"Director Deng is indeed a little stingy."

"And I also watched Tongji's "Detective" this time, and it was very good."

Yes, Deng Shengxing really couldn't say a word now.

After doing it for a long time, it was all Xu Ji's people.

......

"By the way, everyone, since we are all peers, we have to announce it sooner or later anyway, so let's tell everyone first."

Not long after this topic passed, Zang Sheng suddenly spoke.

"I'm going to retire, and I probably won't be making movies again."

"I wish you all the best in your future endeavors."

Zang Sheng's words surprised everyone in the video conference.

The news was quite explosive.

Zang Sheng, as the third-ranked figure among the current first-line directors in China, does not need to say much about his status and reputation.

The most important thing is that during this year's Spring Festival, Zang Sheng's movie got a high box office and entered the top five box office in Chinese film history.

He is only in his fifties now, and his retirement at this time is really unexpected.

Several people asked the reason, but Zang Sheng only said that he was old, and he really had more than enough heart but not enough strength.

At the end of the meeting, Deng Shengxing was still digesting the news of Zang Sheng's retirement.

But at this time, it suddenly occurred to him, does Phoenix Entertainment know the news of Zang Sheng's retirement?

Zang Sheng is one of the face directors of Phoenix Entertainment, will Phoenix Entertainment agree to such a major event as retirement?

Although it is said that most of the super-first-line directors and the company are cooperative, it is generally difficult to negotiate a situation that will damage the interests of their own company.

Obviously, this sudden plan to retire is probably due to the impact of the unsatisfactory box office of the tribute film.

But it's really unlikely that it was hit or something.

A director like Zang Sheng has been up and down in the film market for so many years, and he has never seen any situation.

After thinking about it for a while, although Deng Shengxing didn't figure it out, he hurriedly called his company's smallpox side and told him the news.

......
