Chapter 435: Breaking 100 million in the first week
As many critics and fans think, "Hurricane Rescue 2" is indeed of higher quality and more exciting story than "Hurricane Rescue 1".
is reflected in the box office, that is, "Hurricane Rescue 2" is still singing triumphantly even in a not good schedule.
In addition to the average results on Hong Kong Island, it is a unique presence in beautiful countries, in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, in European countries, and in the mainland.
In the first six days of the mainland, the box office was 17 million, 16 million, 17 million, 15 million, 14 million, 14 million, and 93 million respectively.
Since the premiere day is Monday, as long as there are 7 million box office on the seventh day, the box office in the first week will be 100 million.
A small goal was reached.
Lee Sang Yew's modest speculation at the box office has reached.
For this result, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I finally didn't get slapped in the face.
Maintaining this rhythm, the mainland box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2" is expected to break 200 million.
Chen Hao was very proud and said that Li Shengyao would accompany her for the next two months.
This movie has already been scored on Douban, seven points and one point, this score is not high among all movies, but in the action movie category, it can be scored seven, which is very good.
Due to the particularity of this schedule, and the fact that there are no excellent new movies in the recent period, under such a reputation, even if the box office of the movie is not 200 million, it is not much worse.
In addition to Chen Hao being very happy, Han Sanping was also very excited.
"Hurricane Rescue 2" has China Film Investment, and it is almost Li Shengyao who takes him to make money.
Han Sanping plans to hold a celebration banquet for "Hurricane Rescue 2" on the seventh day of the new year, which can be regarded as another wave of publicity for this movie.
……
It was still very cold on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year in Yanjing, and on the 56th floor of the International Trade Building, the banquet hall at this time was holding a celebration banquet for the mainland box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2".
Almost all the well-known producers, directors, and actors in Yenching have come over.
Li Shengyao took Chen Hao to attend in full costume.
As soon as Director Li appeared, everyone applauded warmly.
Han Sanping then invited Li Shengyao to come to the stage and said that the box office exceeded 100 million yuan in the first week.
When Li Shengyao stepped down, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, as well as Jiang Wen, Wang Changtian and other people stepped forward to toast Li Shengyao.
"Director Li, I am preparing a blockbuster, and I plan to invite Ge You, Zhou Runwei, are you interested in acting in a movie, although you are young, you are radiant and absolutely brilliant."
"Director Jiang, I don't have time, I have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
……
"Director Li, I plan to make a comedy movie, mainly based on Zhao Jiaban, do you want to make a cameo?"
"Forget it, Director Zhang, I actually have a lot of work to do next."
……
"Director Li, if you have any project, you can find us light, we believe in your vision."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, touch one."
……
Some people want Lee Shengyao to make a cameo, some want Lee Shengyao to help read the script, and some want to invest together.
For a long time, Lee was the busiest person in the entire banquet hall.
Those stars didn't dare to go up to chat with him, because the people in front of Director Li were all directors and producers.
The celebration banquet lasted for almost forty minutes, and Li Shengyao's surroundings were quieter, and the actors stepped forward one after another to promote themselves to Director Li.
There was also a group of people around Chen Hao, all of whom wanted to befriend the proprietress of the boss.
Twenty minutes later, Li Shengyao's side finally really quieted down, he just said a lot, drank two glasses of water, still felt a little thirsty, he went to pour another glass of water, and was about to sit down and relax, Han Sanping came over with a red face, he held the wine glass, and smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Director Li, go inside and chat." ”
"Okay."
There is also a small reception room inside, with three sofas, a coffee table, and the sofa in the middle is relatively long, which can seat three or four people.
Li Shengyao and Han Sanping sat on the sofa in the middle.
Han Sanping raised her wine glass and took the lead in drinking it all, "Director Li, I respect you, in the past few years, thanks to you, you have helped me a lot." ”
"You're welcome, China Film has also helped me a lot."
Han Sanping hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that compared with Li Shengyao, he was the one who took advantage, and said some words of gratitude, and then he squinted his small eyes and said quite proudly: "Director Li, this time I want to give you some benefits, you absolutely like it." ”
When Li Shengyao heard this, he smiled and nodded.
Han Sanping then put down the wine glass and said in a low voice: "Director Li, China Film and Yinghuang and Huanyu on Hong Kong Island have jointly set up a film fund, with a total of 50 million US dollars, the purpose is to support young directors, does Fenghua have any relevant talents?"
"You can let them come, and I'll review their qualifications."
"If you don't have Fenghua, you don't have a station, and interested writers can do it."
Huaxia's film fund was established in 07, and many young directors in the mainland have benefited from it.
And what impressed Li Shengyao the most was not the young director, but the writer Liu Zhenyun, who got five million from this fund and filmed "My Name is Liu Yuejin".
The movie finally got 15 million box office, which should have made a lot of money.
In Li Shengyao's previous life, many people in the film and television writing and directing profession knew about it, and they were also eager to get investment from this film fund.
Of course, it is not an easy task to get a fund investment.
Han Sanping means that he can call the shots.
If Fenghua has young directors who need to be trained, this is indeed an opportunity.
Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you Director Han, I'll go back and see if there's any need." ”
"Meaningless, you don't have to worry, remember this matter, you can take your time, I will pay attention to it when the time comes."
Han Sanping then got up and took a new cup, poured himself a glass of water, and cleared his throat, "Director Li, there are still a lot of movies in China Film, are you interested in investing?"
"Oh, what movie?"
"Confucius", "East Wind and Rain", "Out of the Water Hibiscus", "National Important Cases".
Li Shengyao was a little speechless and looked at Han Sanping, they were all money-losers.
"I don't know anything about these movies, so I'll forget it."
Hearing this, Han Sanping nodded, and then laughed, as if she had gone out and saw a beautiful woman without clothes.
It can be seen that Director Han is really happy.
It took him a while to recover, and then he said, "Director Li, I know that you can't watch domestic movies, just an appetizer and a big meal." ”
Han Sanping got up, closed the door of the reception room, and then said: "We have just got in touch with several companies in Hollywood and reached some cooperation, we invest in their films, and then the income of the films in the mainland goes to China Film." ”
When Li Shengyao heard this, his face remained unchanged, but he was a little surprised in his heart.
He didn't expect that China Film would have been in contact with Hollywood so early.
What did he think would happen after "Avatar"?
The most profitable thing for China Film should be that it has invested in "Fast and Furious" and the "Transformers" series of movies.
Han Sanping looked proud, and then said: "Director Li, is this investment plan okay?"
Absolutely, and very smart.
The bookkeeping methods of those big Hollywood companies are ever-changing, and after investing, they engage in global revenue sharing, and they don't even know if they lose money.
The mainland's income can be calculated by itself, and it doesn't need to go through Hollywood companies, it's a one-shot deal.
If there is a fire in the mainland, you will make money.
If the mainland is not popular, it will lose money.
Although there is a gambling component, there will be no feeling of being wronged.
In Lee Shengyao's previous life, and later mainland companies invested in Hollywood blockbusters, basically this model.
"Very clever way."
Han Sanping laughed again, and it took a while to suppress the laughter, "Director Li, the cooperation we have reached is "Shutter Island", "Spy Sea Storm", "Despicable Me", "Social Network", "Haibian King", are you optimistic, China Film can invest in Fenghua." ”
"Director Han, did you choose these movies, they are all good movies."
It's not that Li Shengyao touted it, except for "Spy on the Sea", which is not very good, the others are all good movies.
"Shutter Island" is starring Xiao Lizi, "Despicable Me" is an animated comedy movie, "Social Network" is based on Facebook founder Zuckerberg, and "King Haibian" is a super-murder story, this movie has Nicolas Cage.
All four films are very interesting.
"Spy on the Sea" has Gong Li and Chow Yunwei, and it is a film aimed at the mainland market.
If the global box office can be shared, except for "Spy Sea", the other four movies can be invested.
However, it is not good if it is only the income from the mainland.
Mainland audiences like to watch comedies and super blockbusters at this time, and these four movies are not high at the box office in the mainland, and even if they can make money, there are not many.
"Is it convenient to disclose the investment cost of China Film?"
"It's two million dollars."
Han Sanping looked proud, in his opinion, more than 10 million Hollywood movie revenues are definitely high-quality investments.
Two million US dollars is almost 16 million, and it takes more than 40 million to pay back the cost if it is screened in the mainland.
Li Shengyao glanced at Han Sanping, smiled and nodded, "That's true, but forget it, Fenghua has a lot of projects recently, I want to collect it, and I don't have the idea of investing for the time being." ”
When Han Sanping heard this, her eyes widened and she looked at Director Li with a wry smile.
He also thought that after taking out a Hollywood movie, Li Shengyao would definitely be moved, but he didn't expect Li Shengyao to refuse.
He has always owed Li Dadao a favor, which makes him not very comfortable, and he really wants to take Li Shengyao to fly.
But Director Li is so cautious.
At this moment, Han Sanping had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then said: "Director Li, China Film is preparing a blockbuster film called "The Great Cause of Jianguo", how about you become a director?" ”
In Li Shengyao's previous life, the director of "The Great Cause of Jianguo" was Han Sanping.
This movie is a tribute film, which is of great significance, and Lee Shengyao doesn't want to take away the beauty.
He then thought of the role played by almost all the stars and directors in the film and television industry in this movie, so he said: "Director Han, I won't be a director, you can leave me a role, I will play a soldier." ”
"You're going to act...... Then I'll have to leave you a very important character, a great, classic character. ”
"No, I can't catch the classic role with my acting skills, you can just arrange a small soldier for me."
Half an hour later, Li Shengyao left the celebration banquet with Chen Hao, and he finally persuaded Han Sanping to give him a small role with lines and a straight face.
In this way, Li Shengyao got some small discounts from China Film tonight, compared with the benefits that Fenghua gave to China Film, it is nothing, Han Sanping still owes Li Shengyao a big favor.
As soon as he and Chen Hao got in the car, a phone call came in, it was his assistant.
"Boss, today's box office statistics haven't come out yet, but it is estimated that there should be 17 million."
Today is Sunday, and with many rural children returning to work, the box office is even higher than yesterday.
If it's really 17 million, then the first seven days of the week is 110 million.
Li Shengyao was very happy, and he suppressed the joy in his heart, "Very good, continue to observe." ”
After hanging up the phone, he parked the car on the side of the road, then pulled Chen Hao into his arms and kissed him fiercely.
"What? It's full of people. ”
Chen Hao thought that Director Li was interested and asked for a car/shock, which was shy and a little expectant.
Li Shengyao stretched out his hand to fum, and after a moment he withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't mean that." ”
Chen Hao patted Li Shengyao, "Then go home, I want to sleep." ”
"Let's go to the film school, it's the right place there."
The greenery near the Yanjing Film Academy is very good, and there are many beauties nearby, it has always been the Yanjing car/earthquake holy land, and many people go there to do it.
Chen Hao covered his mouth and laughed.
Director Li is in a good mood and plans to play some new tricks tonight.
