"Wow, your phone screen is so big!"

"What kind of zodiac sign are you, your personality is too split?"

"Of course I know you're not Lao Zhou."

"It's harder for me to ask for a power of attorney than to learn from the West."

"Okay, I'm Fan Bingbing."

“……”

In the editing room, when he saw the white glowing Fan Xiaopang appear on the screen, Wei Yang smiled and shook his head.

Xu Zheng has been getting Fan Xiaopang throughout the movie, which has left a deep impression on the audience, but because of Wang Baoqiang's image and setting, everyone didn't think about it, which also made the easter egg surprise of Fan's personal cameo in the end very strong.

Wei Yang can already imagine the moment when Fan Xiaopang appeared when the movie was released. It is estimated that the theater is full of exclamations of "wow~".

After the movie ended, Wei Yang applauded and said to Xu Zheng, who was nervous next to him.

"It's hard work, brother, it's a very good shot."

"Thai Embarrassment" has been confirmed to be released in the Chinese New Year, which is expected to be in mid to early December, and now that the movie has basically been completed, Xu Zheng specially invited Wei Yang to take a look.

On the one hand, Wei Yang is the owner of the money, and he must show the boss after the movie is finished.

If it weren't for the fact that "Thai Embarrassment" was mainly filmed in Thailand, and Wei Yang was too busy, he would have come over a long time ago, after all, it was also an investment of tens of millions.

Of course, Wei Yang is not here, but there are people with blue whales on the side of "Thai Embarrassment", and some professionals have watched it, so Wei Yang is roughly aware of some of the progress and evaluation of the movie.

Boss Wei is not one of those coal bosses, and he doesn't care about film and television investment just throwing money.

He has a well-known film and television company and production team in the industry such as Blue Whale, so in addition to supervision, he has the right to directly intervene in many investment projects.

It's just that in most cases, Wei Yang won't use it, and he doesn't have the manpower and energy, at most he can make suggestions.

Wei Yang, as the big boss and the person in charge of personally investing in "Thai Embarrassment", has never come to the crew to watch it, Xu Zheng has a thread hanging in his heart, so he invited him to come over and take a look while Wei Yang was free.

On the other hand, this year, Wei Yang's film debut box office exceeded 500 million+, becoming a film upstart, and Xu Zheng intended to invite him to come over and palm his eyes.

If something is found to be wrong, it is still some time before the release, and maybe it can be remedied.

Not only Wei Yang, but also Ning Hao, Peng Haoxiang, Zhang Jianya, Liu Yiwei and other directors and filmmakers who are familiar with each other have all been invited by Xu Zheng.

This is also the norm for new directors, and I am not sure, so I have always hoped to be recognized and encouraged by my predecessors and well-known figures in the industry.

When Wei Yang finished editing "Rise to Fame", he also invited many people to come over and take a look.

Hearing Wei Yang's praise, Xu Zheng was somewhat relieved, but a little apprehensive.

You must know that "Thai Embarrassment" is a comedy movie, and the most intuitive thing for this kind of movie is to see how many times the audience laughs.

And Wei Yang is undoubtedly the least laughing among the "audience" he invited.

But this is Xu Zheng's misunderstanding, Wei Yang himself is a professional screenwriter, he has browsed countless materials, and he has experienced the era of short video explosions, and has been baptized by countless jokes.

Many baggage lines that ordinary viewers may seem to be good, such as "two to infinity" and "pure natural broom star", are old-fashioned and boring in Wei Yang's eyes.

Not to mention, he has watched this movie several times, and even pulled the film as a professional screenwriter and studied the script.

In this case, Wei Yang was able to occasionally show some smiles, and it was already an excellent performance of Wang, Xu, and Huang.

Even if he already knows the lines and the plot, he will still be amused by their performances, which is the charm of a good comedian.

But in Xu Zheng's opinion, Wei Yang's reaction to "Thai Embarrassment" was very cold, even if it was a compliment, but who knows if it was a polite comfort.

This actually shows that Xu Zheng doesn't know Wei Yang, and Wei Yang may take care of his face in public.

But in private, especially if it is still his own business, he is too lazy to do this, satisfaction is satisfaction, and if he is not satisfied, he will say it directly.

The movie "Thai Embarrassment" may not be a classic, but it is also a road comedy with a very high degree of completion, Wei Yang just told the truth.

"How much box office do you think Senior Brother can have?"

Wei Yang has no opinions on the quality of the movie, he is more concerned about the publicity and release, and by the way, he learned about the expected box office.

If it was before making a movie, Xu Zheng would say more to increase the confidence of investors.

But now that the movie is finished and is about to be released, he is conservative in his estimation, saving the owner from being unhappy if he fails to reach the goal.

"Personally, I think 200 million is very promising."

However, he glanced at Wei Yang's face, gritted his teeth and added: "300 million is not impossible." ”

2~300 million!

This estimate is really not small, after all, this data can be in the top 20 of the annual ranking.

This year's Chinese-language films are not booming, although "Painted Skin 2" and "Rise to Fame" are in the forefront, but more are imported Hollywood films.

The "Four Famous Catches" filmed at a high price are not 200 million, and Director Chen's new work is only about 150 million.

Ning Hao's new work "The Great Gold Robbery", as well as the super IP "White Deer Plain", directed by Wang Fatzi, and the star-studded "Big Shanghai" are also around 150 million.

Xu, Huang, and Wang are very popular, but the comedy also has some appeal, but in terms of the lineup alone, it is not particularly good, 2,~300 million is a relatively normal estimate.

And Xu Zheng is also a little cautious, the shooting cost of "Thai Embarrassment" + publicity is about 50 million, according to the filmmaker's share, the movie box office can return to the cost of 150 million, and the rest is profit.

The performance pressure of 2~300 million is not large, and the profit is enough to satisfy the owner.

Xu Zheng didn't plan to end a movie with a movie, he still wanted to continue to be a director, so he definitely had to make money for the financier.

The blue whale has the strength and funds, and the cooperation with each other this time is also pleasant, and Xu Zheng intends to continue to cooperate.

He has never thought that "Thai Embarrassment" could be a big hit, so he has always thought that as long as he makes a profit, he will stand firm, and then he can continue to hug Boss Wei's thigh and develop in the Shanghai circle and even the film industry.

Wei Yang can understand Xu Zheng's thoughts, almost all the people related to "Thai Embarrassment" have similar estimates, nothing more than less.

He didn't dare to be a prophet, saying that this movie could break 1 billion, otherwise everyone would not be shocked now, but would treat him as a fool.

"Thai Embarrassment" broke 1 billion VS Mayan Armageddon

If you find a hundred random people, more than 90% of them will choose the latter, and Wei Yang even doubts whether the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" is related to the end of the world.

The release time and the predicted time are very similar, and everyone may have the psychology of the last movie ticket to watch it and consume it with revenge.

Hiss!

If it weren't for the fear that the relevant departments would come to the door, Wei Yang would really have the heart to market according to this number of roads.

However, although he was instigated, Wei Yang still cheered Xu Zheng and several people in charge.

"This year's summer file has made great progress compared with last year, and the Chinese New Year file market will be more prosperous, comedy movies are promising, 2~300 million is too conservative, I think it is expected to surpass "Rise to Fame".

This remark is very encouraging in everyone's opinion, "Rise to Fame" is currently the second largest Chinese film this year, with a total box office of 505 million.

If "Thai Embarrassment" can surpass "Becoming Famous", it will be 500 million+, and Xu Zheng can become famous in one fight.

Xu Zheng also dreamed about this, but he didn't have hope intellectually, so he was all joking with Wei Yang, haha.

"By the time Mr. Wei said that you will be rich, you will have to invite us to dinner then."

"It's okay to eat it on a monthly basis."

Wei Yang smiled and patted Xu Zheng, if his butterfly has little impact, after dozens of days, this bald head will be recorded in film history and become a new core filmmaker in the Chinese film industry.

And you will also get the most lucrative return on investment in the project... One.

After all, the volume of "Celebrating More Than Years" is not a joke, the movie still has to be divided, and based on comprehensive calculations, the "Celebrating More Than Years" series earns more, but the energy and hard work of the two are heaven and earth.

It is even exaggerated, in Guiyang's view, this money is like "picking it up for nothing".

When he and Xu Zheng had dinner with them, they talked about their upcoming trip to the United States, and Wei Yang also pondered that if the itinerary went well, he could go to the airline to see if there was a suitable private jet.

Now the company has too much business and flights are too troublesome, if you can buy a private jet with the right conditions, it will be much more convenient in terms of transportation.

Blue Whale is tired of working on projects by himself, and too much money is Wei Yang's "hard-earned money", and he is a little reluctant to accept a luxury such as a private jet, which is not cost-effective.

But Wei Yang is much more generous with the money he picked up for nothing in "Thai Embarrassment", he can use it by himself and the company when he buys a private jet, and he can also avoid taxes.

This trick was learned from Jack Ma, the company paid for the plane, bought it back at the same price, and then leased it to the company, and the company paid him an annual rent and maintenance fee, which not only allowed him to avoid taxes, but also cashed out from the company.

The most important thing is that the assets of this aircraft are always in the name of the parties, and even if the company goes bankrupt, this aircraft cannot be liquidated as the company's assets.

Reasonable, legal and compliant, this is the real master!

However, Wei Yang's share in Blue Whale is not comparable to its in Alibaba, it is basically equivalent to Wei Yang's wholly-owned company, the operation is not so complicated, and the food looks much better, at most it is left hand to right hand.

In fact, compared to private jets, Wei Yang wants to get a yacht and go out to sea to catch a fish from time to time.

However, the domestic yacht circle environment is average, and private jets can at least travel for the reason, yachts are pure playthings, and even linked to a certain feast, which is too eye-catching, and you can rent it if you really want to play.

In late October, Wei Yang and Xiao Zhao quietly flew to Miami, USA for a vacation.

Miami is a coastal city with four seasons and is also a world-famous retirement destination.

Last time they went to Europe, Wei Yang and Liu Shishi went to Northern Europe to experience the ice and snow, and this time in the United States, it is time to enjoy the hot beaches of capitalism.

By the way, you can also take a look at the NBA, Wei Yang also learned from the travel strategy that James is currently in the Miami Heat.

Although Wei Yang doesn't like to watch basketball, James still knows it, he can come to see the stars, maybe he wants a signed jersey or something, and he can knock Li Jiahang for a few meals when he goes back.........
