Chapter 216: Released
"Animal World" has become the best domestic film with a first-day score of 5.7 million this year.
The next day it closed at 8.1 million, and it came to 13.8 million on the first weekend.
You know, these two days are weekdays with a day off!
With a seven-day holiday, "Animal World" will definitely run better results.
Seeing this achievement, the thighs of the bosses who withdrew from investment were about to break.
Wang Zhonglei looked away again, but he threw the pot to the production team:
"What did I say at the time! I said let's vote, just squeeze 810 million from anywhere, you don't say that "Ink Attack" asks for money, and "Ink Attack" will send me 10 million?
"It's the second time, he was a novice last time in "Rise to Fame", we don't vote for me and don't blame you, what is the lineup of "Animal World"? Director Xu Ke, Zhang Yuanjun, Liu Yifei, Xia Yu, are popular and powerful, how did you evaluate it at the beginning.
"Your department will write an inspection and meet next week for a public review. Some of us have a problem with our thinking, so we just want to make blockbusters, and it's right to make blockbusters to make money, but now there are still a few people who can make blockbusters, and the largest number of movies on the market is still small and medium-sized investment, and we can't put this piece on. Don't look at us as the first in China now, do you think this first is so easy to sit on? We can now say that we are surrounded by strong enemies, the market is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more companies are joining in, how long can we maintain our advantage?
"There will be a crisis ritual, comrades."
After Wang Zhonglei dismissed the meeting, he said to his secretary: "When will he return to the capital?" ”
"On the night of the 14th, he was rehearsing at the 15th theater and had to be there."
"Ask him to have dinner on the 14th."
The secretary reminded him: "Mr. Wang, why don't we go directly to the roadshow site to block him, he is in Chang'an on the 1st." ”
Wang Zhonglei thought for a while and said, "It's too late for No. 1, where is he No. 2?" ”
"Jinyang."
"Let's go to Jinyang to see him on the 2nd."
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with his company."
If the film can be popular, the director will generally give the greatest credit.
But the industry will not look at the problem so superficially, of course, Xu class is very important.
But many people know that the operator behind "Animal World" is Zhang Yuanjun's studio.
They bought the copyright of the original work, and the script was made by them organizers, in addition to the Xu class team, the crew was also formed by them.
Shangying is only responsible for giving money and publicity, and does not care about filming matters.
Xu Jiao was at a low point in his career at the time, and he promised to direct "Animal World" without using his hands and feet, and honestly acted as a tool man to finish filming.
So, the real heart of this project is actually Zhang Yuanjun - but his name will not be on the list of producers and producers.
Many investors who don't know why went to Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng purely to ask for a son in the Guandi Temple - to worship the wrong god.
But how could Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng let go of such an opportunity, you worship the wrong god, but I will accept the incense money - Xu Ke's new film "Women Are Not Bad" took this opportunity to make a big profit.
Entering the long holiday, on the first day, "Animal World" handed over 13.3 million answers.
The next day, 17.1 million was collected.
Huayi failed to make an appointment with Zhang Yuanjun on the 2nd, but at 11 o'clock in the evening of the 3rd, Wang Zhonglei met Zhang Yuanjun at the hotel as he wished.
"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, do you want to publicize it, you know, I'm too busy."
"Understand, understand, I'm the same, when the film was released, I was too busy not knowing day and night, and I was still scared. Drink something? ”
"Let's have a cup of hot milk, these days to run publicity, the organizer entertains, I really can't drink it, drink a cup of milk, and sleep well at night."
"Yes." What you drink is completely unimportant here in Wang Zhonglei.
Wang Zhonglei just chatted casually with Zhang Yuanjun, he knew that Zhang Yuanjun's studio production capacity was limited, and he couldn't start films one after another.
He came to brush his face and speak, and finally said: "Although we can't sign an artist agreement, our cooperation on "Buried Alive" is very good, I think our cooperation can continue, what do you say?" ”
"Of course," Zhang Yuanjun had no reason to refuse this kind of cooperation, and said with a smile, "Huayi is the boss, and I want to cooperate with you in this small workshop." ”
"Don't say that," Zhang Yuanjun's praise of Wang Zhonglei is very useful, but he still has to be modest, "Although your scale is small, but your ability is strong, how can you say that it is a small workshop, if you are a small workshop, then 90% of the domestic film companies will have no face to live."
"It's not early, so I won't disturb your rest. In the future, whether you have a book, or lack of investment, call me directly, don't look for the people below, there are many people, and we can't control everything. ”
Zhang Yuanjun stood up and sent Wang Zhonglei two steps, and snorted: "Only if you have a book and lack of investment can you find Mr. Wang?" ”
"That's what you said." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile, "If you want to ask me for a drink or tea, of course I am very welcome." ”
Wang Zhonglei felt that today's conversation was very pleasant, and his goal of having a pleasant conversation was achieved.
Zhang Yuanjun actually understands Wang Zhonglei's mood very well when he wants to cooperate with him, not to mention his own production ability, just talking about Huayi Company, they are too deeply bound to Feng Xiaogang.
The Wang brothers must have realized the drawbacks of over-reliance on one director for the company's development.
That's why they voted for "Night Banquet" and then voted for Zhang Zhiliang's "Ink Attack".
But I didn't expect "Ink Attack" to hit the streets.
Huayi urgently needs to open up another guaranteed production resource route in addition to Feng Xiaogang, and this route cannot sign a contract with Huayi like Feng Xiaogang, otherwise Huayi will sign a new director on the front foot, and Feng Xiaogang will go to Wang Zhongjun's office to quarrel on the back foot.
The best way is to co-produce, and Huayi contracts investment and publicity.
Zhang Yuanjun doesn't care about Huayi's family affairs, he only cares about where he will go for the next stop of publicity, how to do activities, and what the results of "Animal World" are.
At noon on the fourth day of the holiday, the crew received the results of the previous day: 17.53 million.
Within five days of release, the total box office exceeded the 60 million mark, and breaking 100 million is just around the corner.
The media has awarded the National Day champion to "Animal World" in advance.
At the same time, Liu Yifei's special title is not known when it was withdrawn.
In the later publicity, Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun starred in the same column, ranking behind Zhang Yuanjun.
is really too powerful for Liu Yifei's special appearance in publicity, and generally the special actor follows the crew for two stops.
But the publicity effect of Liu Yifei's presence is too good, according to preliminary statistics, the number of tickets issued by the theater where Liu Yifei is promoted is 17% higher than that of Zhang Yuanjun's theater.
The crew had to re-sign a publicity contract with her, requiring her to accompany all the publicity, and the price was to give Liu Yifei a mention.
Liu Xiaoli now doesn't say that her daughter took "Animal World" behind her back, she even thinks that her daughter has a good eye for film selection under her teaching, and she picked a hit as soon as she picked it.
Zhang Yuanjun also had the same idea of inviting merit, he sent a text message to Liu Yifei and said: "How about it, this is very chilling, I will see what you take for this favor." ”
Liu Yifei didn't reply to him, after reading the text message, what she thought was, the first kiss was given to you, isn't it enough, what else do you have to take back.
