Yanjing.

Hilton Hotel.

Four weeks after its release, the box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" exceeded one billion and successfully won the Spring Festival box office champion, and the main creative team also held a lively celebration banquet.

At the celebration banquet, Zhou Zhou and Yang Sisi invited the main members of the crew, and even Chen Dongwei, who made some unpleasant trouble during the filming, also received an invitation.

"Director Guo, congratulations."

At the celebration banquet, Chen Dongwei was even more excited than the main creative team on the weekend, as if the movie could be a success, and he seemed to be honored.

"Rejoice and rejoice."

Guo Fan saw Chen Dongwei take the initiative to come over with a wine glass to toast, and put his posture very low, and his heart was secretly refreshed.

The success of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" also made him, the titular director, hot.

Not only did an old oilman like Chen Dongwei in the film industry dare not pose in front of him anymore, but also the bosses of investors who had difficulty even meeting him in the past are also rushing to come to the door with the script.

Guo Fan was also a little fluttering at the beginning.

But soon Guo Fan calmed down, and did not his tail because of the pursuit of these people.

Because he knows too well that the biggest key factor in the success of the movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is on the weekend.

Although he is a nominal director, he is actually equivalent to a tool man on the weekend, because from shooting to post-production, he is basically checking on the weekend.

This movie can be without anyone, but if there is no weekend, Guo Fan feels that it will definitely not be as successful as it is now.

So Guo Fan did not get carried away because he was sought after for a while.

He knew in his heart that at least he didn't have the ability to take charge on his own now, and it was the right choice for him to learn something by his side on the weekend.

"Chen Zhi, Director Guo, Mr. Yang and Producer Zhou are looking for you."

At this moment, Yang Sisi's assistant came over and took the two to a small reception room in the banquet hall.

"You guys are here, sit down."

Yang Sisi's assistant brought the two in, closed the door and left, and after beckoning the two to sit down, he nodded to Yang Sisi.

Guo Fan and Chen Dongwei were a little excited when they saw the battle with Yang Sisi on the weekend, and they were able to be called over by the two of them alone, which showed that they were valued.

"Today is a celebration banquet, everyone relax, don't be so restrained."

Yang Sisi smiled, then took out two envelopes from the drawer.

"Although your remuneration has been paid after the crew disbanded, no one thought that the movie would be so successful at that time."

"So I discussed it with the weekend and decided to give everyone a bonus, after all, the success of the movie is inseparable from everyone's hard work."

After Yang Sisi finished speaking, he put the two envelopes in front of the two of them.

Chen Dongwei looked at the envelope in front of him, and his eyes lit up.

"How embarrassing is that!"

Chen Dongwei said that he was embarrassed, but his hand had already touched the envelope and weighed it quietly.

There was basically no weight in the envelope, and it looked like it should be a check, which made Chen Dongwei's eyes full of smiles.

"Chen Zhi don't be embarrassed, when shooting, we all see everyone's hard work in our hearts, and this is what everyone deserves."

Zhou Zhou smiled and said to Chen Dongwei.

"That'...... Then I'll take it! ”

Hearing the words of the weekend, Chen Dongwei also put down his twisted posture and quickly put the envelope into his pocket.

"Mr. Yang and Producer Zhou are cheerful people, and it is just happy to follow you to do things."

"Huh."

Yang Sisi laughed perfunctorily, and then signaled to Chen Dongwei that if he had nothing else to do, he could go out first.

Chen Dongwei didn't go out immediately, but asked with a smile if he and Yang Sisi had any plans for the next movie on the weekend and wanted to continue working with them.

"We don't have any plans for the next movie yet, but I think with Chen Zhi's ability, we shouldn't worry about not having a movie, right?"

On the surface, the weekend was flattering to Chen Dongwei, but in fact it was a tactful refusal.

As we all know, the film industry has always been the same as the stock market, chasing up and not down, and the success of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will inevitably make other investors look at it, I believe that as long as the weekend and Yang Sisi casually reveal a little news, those investors will flock to it.

In this case, it is certainly unlikely that they did not plan to take advantage of the victory to make the next movie.

deliberately said this on the weekend, which means that in the next movie, he will definitely not find Chen Dongwei to be a martial arts instructor.

Guo Fan is clear in his heart, it seems that although he has never expressed any dissatisfaction with Chen Dongwei on the surface, he has probably blacklisted Chen Dongwei in his heart.

It's just that the weekend and Yang Sisi did enough, at least after the box office success, he was given a bonus, which has already been said in the past.

After Chen Dongwei left, he looked at the envelope in front of Guo Fan and asked with a smile, "Why don't you take it?" ”

Guo Fan suddenly felt nervous in his heart, Chen Dongwei's experience was in front of him, he didn't want to be abandoned on the weekend, and hurriedly said: "I don't think I have any credit...... Rather than a prize money or something, I would rather be able to stay with you and learn something. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhou burst into laughter, got up and patted Guo Fan on the shoulder, and then stuffed the envelope into Guo Fan's hand.

"Whether there is merit or not, we know in our hearts, but you said you want to stay......"

Speaking of which, he deliberately paused on the weekend, which made Guo Fan's nervous palms sweat all of a sudden, and he looked up at him seriously.

"Of course we are very happy, because I have discussed privately with Mr. Yang, and I still plan to let you be the director of the next movie...... If you want to go, it's going to be hard for us. ”

The next movie, or do you want to direct it yourself?

Guo Fan was stunned for a while before he reacted, and stood up from his seat excitedly and asked, "Really?" ”

Yang Sisi nodded and smiled: "Hmm." ”

Seeing Yang Sisi nodded, Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't you say you want to make a sci-fi movie, and we'll make a sci-fi film next time."

Or is it sci-fi?

Guo Fan was suddenly excited and didn't know what to say in order to show the surprise in his heart.

It seems that Weekend and Yang Sisi have already thought of the plan for the next movie, and fortunately, they are also fortunate to participate in it.

Knock knock.

At this time, Yang Sisi's assistant knocked on the door again and came in, and reminded Guo Fan on the weekend: "The things are collected, more than 10 million, if they are lost at the celebration banquet, we are not responsible." ”

More than 10 million?

Guo Fan's hand shook, and he suddenly felt that the envelope in his hand had become heavy.

He had never seen so much money in his life, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to put it in his pocket.

"Mr. Yang, the CEOs of several investors in Yanjing and Puhai, I don't know where to hear that we are holding a celebration banquet here, so I came uninvited."

Yang Sisi's assistant didn't pay attention to Guo Fan's nervousness, and said directly after coming in.

"Oh, they're well-informed, and luckily we've been prepared a little bit earlier."

The investors in the film industry are actually similar to the entertainment industry, and they have always pursued traffic.

The success of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will naturally make the big investors in the circle see the potential of the pair of Weekend and Yang Sisi, and it is not surprising that they have come to the door now.

Yang Sisi and the weekend have also arranged a reception room for these VIPs a long time ago, and now it seems that it will come in handy.

"Well, let's go to the VIP room and meet them, you go and arrange it."

After Yang Sisi gave an order to the assistant, he looked at the weekend.

Zhou Zhou nodded, and then instructed Guo Fan again: "You heard, the investment in the next movie has already been settled." ”

"I remind you that this film is definitely an epoch-making work, it is definitely a resolute challenge for you, and you have to be mentally prepared."

Guo Fan's heart froze, and he immediately promised: "Well, I will do my best to cooperate." ”

"Alright, then you can find a corner and steal the music party."

Zhou Zhou nodded to Guo Fan, asked him to leave first, and then followed Yang Sisi to the VIP room to meet the big investors.

It's just that what surprised me a little over the weekend was that among these investors, there was actually their own nominal boss, Deng Shiquan, the boss of Mangxing Entertainment, who was among them.

"Boss, why don't you tell me when you come, isn't this a joke that you want to see me."

Seeing Deng Shiquan on the weekend, he was obviously stunned, and then quickly greeted him, no matter what, he was still his nominal boss.

"Hahaha, you kid is too good at tossing, the music industry is not enough for you to toss, and now it's all tossed to the film industry."

Deng Shiquan laughed and behaved very closely, but in fact, in the company, because of Du Lin's agent in the middle, he had not had much contact with Deng Shiquan.

"Boss, you're really joking, in fact, I was just joking at first, I didn't expect it to become the current situation."

Laughing on the weekend, he is now meeting Deng Shiquan, and the scene is a little awkward.

As an actor, his salary in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is very low, and there is almost no profit for the company.

But as a producer and investor, the money he made in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" made Deng Shiquan a little red-eyed, but this money also has nothing to do with Mangxing Entertainment.

Because Mangxing Entertainment can only restrain the identity of the weekend artist, but for his own investment, the company cannot restrain it.

"Haha, you're joking, the movement is a bit big, even my boss is envious."

Deng Shiquan laughed and teased.

"Old Deng, your boss has a face."

"Yes, the box office champion of the Spring Festival stalls, you haven't had it before."

With Deng Shiquan as a medium, several other investors in the VIP room are also close to the weekend.

All the people present in the mall are good, and they basically talk and do things without leakage, which soon makes the atmosphere of the VIP room harmonious.

chatting and chatting, they naturally inquired about the success of the weekend and Yang Sisi in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", what are the next plans.

"I heard that there seem to be several original works of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", can you continue to make a sequel?"

""Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is indeed not easy as our first fantasy adventure film in China that has achieved great success, so we also want to support you and do a good job in China's local films, if there are any problems with funding, we can all help."

"We are more or less half filmmakers, of course, we also hope that the genre of Chinese local films can be wider, and we are also willing to support our Chinese local films."

Basically, all of you here are successful people in the eyes of others, and as successful people, they all have the ability to say that business is a great contribution to the development of local Chinese films.

"Thank you boss and a few seniors for their care for our juniors, since this is the case, then we will have something to say."

"I'll just say that this kid must have a plan for the next part, say it and listen to it."

Deng Shiquan's eyes lit up, listening to the meaning of the weekend, he seemed to have been prepared for a long time.

This is good news for investors, because they are here to deliver money today.

"Boss, just now you said that you hope that China's local films can expand into more genre films, and I very much agree with this."

"So our next movie is not going to make a sequel to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but to make a science fiction film."

Just now, they all said how great they were, and the investors who wanted to contribute to local Chinese films, suddenly fell silent when they heard that they were going to make science fiction films on the weekend.

The reason why they came to send money was, of course, because they took a fancy to the potential of the IP of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", thinking that the first part could be so successful, and as long as the second part maintained its level, it would basically be a steady profit and not lose money, so they would rush to invest in it.

So after hearing that they didn't plan to make a sequel on the weekend, but were going to make a sci-fi film, they also calmed down instantly.

After all, making a sequel is a sure-fire business, but when you make a sci-fi film, it is full of too many unknown factors.

So far, there have been no successful sci-fi movies in Huaxia films, and they are worried that they will invest their money in it and end up in vain.

"Oh, it seems that you kid is quite ambitious, and he doesn't want to make a sequel and eat his old book." Deng Shiquan saw that everyone else was silent, so he opened his mouth to relieve the siege for the weekend.

"But aren't you taking too many steps? Isn't science fiction a little too risky? ”

At this time, an investor next to Deng Shiquan said after thinking for a while: "But I personally also like science fiction movies, so I want to hear what kind of story you plan to make?" ”

"It seems that we are all old, and we are still young people who have ideas, dare to try, let's talk about it, what kind of story makes you so confident."

"Heroes come out of teenagers, yes, young people just have to dare to take risks."

Although these investors are boasting about the weekend, they have been much more restrained than just now, and they no longer mention anything to contribute to local Chinese films.

It's okay to contribute, but only if you can make money.

If the weekend's story doesn't tempt them, they won't take the money out to waste.

On the weekend, when I saw everyone looking at me, I said the lines that I had prepared a long time ago.

"This is a story about the imminent destruction of the earth, and all mankind wanders with the earth in order to find a new home for mankind." (End of chapter)
