Including Huayi, the prices offered by many company CEOs are already very high, and some of them naturally want to enter Zhang Yuanjun's private pocket, which is the industry rule.

But they didn't understand why Zhang Yuanjun kept holding on and refused to nod.

There are only a few people in the entertainment industry who can be on the table, and the news of Wang Zhonglei talking about cooperation with Zhang Yuanjun in Australia reached the ears of the CEOs within two days.

The CEOs of various families scolded the old fox of Huayi, and secretly found out Zhang Yuanjun's whereabouts and wanted to eat alone, but he was not afraid of dying.

Just as the CEOs of various families were also preparing to fly to Australia to meet Zhang Yuanjun, Wang Zhonglei and Zhang Yuanjun returned to China on their front and back feet.

Wang Zhonglei arrived the day before, and Zhang Yuanjun landed the next day.

The Cannes Film Festival opened on the 16th, and Zhang Yuanjun was about to fly on the 14th, leaving less time for the domestic boss.

Zhang Yuanjun's time in Cannes has long been filled, and he has no time to discuss business with domestic CEOs.

They also prefer to talk to Zhang Yuanjun, after all, there is a favor, and they don't want to talk to the American producer of the "Hunger Games" series.

When Zhang Yuanjun returned to China, the most heard words were "the collapse of domestic films".

May 1st gear is too miserable!

Except for "The Great Gold Robbery", which successfully broke 100 million, the other two movies were completely lost.

But even "The Great Gold Robbery" has suffered the biggest bad reviews from Ning Hao since he started filming.

The audience does not accept that such a film is made by Ning Hao: "If this film is made by a rookie director, I will give 7 points, but I can only give 5 points to Ning Hao for making this kind of film." ”

"Farce, I still continue to look forward to "No Man's Land".

But in fact, "The Great Gold Robbery" as a whole is still a comedy above the passing line.

The ravages of the big ship, coupled with the rout of the May 1st file of domestic films, made domestic filmmakers cry out for policy protection, and domestic films cannot be crushed by Hollywood.

They turned a blind eye to the "Sino-US Film Memorandum" just signed in February this year, and still wanted to hide under the protection of the policy.

These beam-jumping clowns didn't make waves.

In fact, the audience doesn't care so much about watching domestic films or watching imported films, on the consumer side, as long as it is in a fair and competitive market, consumers have the right to choose goods freely, and it is undoubtedly hooliganism for manufacturers to bind consumers with national emotions.

A more interesting phenomenon is that many viewers miss Zhang Yuanjun very much under the rout of May 1st:

"Huang Bo lost, and only Zhang Yuanjun was left in the mainland."

At present, the most box office appealing actors in the mainland are Huang Bo and Zhang Yuanjun.

But in fact, Huang Bo didn't lose, "Killing" is destined to be a big hit, it has nothing to do with who plays Niu Tie Stur, and Huang Bo's Niu Tie Sturdy plays very well.

The box office failures of just two movies are not enough to judge the life and death of an actor's appeal.

"Huang Bo and Zhang Yuanjun have been discussing for the past two years, and they have both acted in literary films." The conscience of heaven and earth, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was a big hit last year.

But the audience doesn't care, the audience likes to watch big stars make blockbusters.

Seeing this kind of comment, Zhang Yuanjun was quite proud, it turned out that the audience was looking forward to him so much.

Adding fuel to the fire of this despair at home is "The Avengers".

The era of Marvel's global domination has come.

"The Avengers" slaughtered indiscriminately in North America, with 18.7 million midnight performances and more than 80 million on the first day of the opening, which is the best performance of the midnight scene and the first day of the comic movie.

The $80 million first-day result also made "Avengers" the second most successful film in film history, behind only the $91 million of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" last summer.

Hong Kong Island was screened first, and its single film box office accounted for 9% of the total box office of the whole day, which can be understood as the movie is showing in cinemas all over Hong Kong.

landed in the mainland, and fans crowded almost all the zero point premieres in China, with an attendance rate of nearly 100%.

On the first day, 38% of the film was scheduled, contributing 72.3% of the box office of the market.

The first day's result of 63 million contributed to the best result after the holiday.

The first weekend broke 100 million in 2 days without suspense. Entering the working day, the proportion of "Avengers" has not fallen below 38%, and it has almost encroached on all 3D and IMAX screens in China, and the higher ticket price has also made the box office trend of "Avengers" on weekdays decline.

The big ship before the holiday, and the "Avengers" after the holiday, the industry can't raise its head, and even Wang Zhonglei said in public that he "can't fight".

But the bosses of various companies have no time to pay attention to the market, and they are almost all staring at Zhang Yuanjun's movements.

This guy is starting to stay at home!

I go out twice a day, get up early to run in the community, and walk in the community after dinner in the evening.

But Zhang Yuanjun's house is lively.

Almost every day, different guests come to the door.

Or classmates and friends come to the party, or the staff comes to report their work, and of course, the heads of various companies come to negotiate investment.

Today Wang Zhonglei will take people to go, tomorrow Zhong Lifang will come to the door with gifts, the day after tomorrow Wang Changtian will come to the door, and the day after tomorrow Ren Zhonglun will also bring a few executives.

As for China Film, Huanrui Century, Ciwen Media and other companies, they naturally also talked about relevant cooperation with Zhang Yuanjun.

Dongshan Villa, which was originally very clean, has been driven back and forth these days, and it is not lively.

But Zhang Yuanjun is the one who doesn't see Berner.

Rushing to the door will only make Zhang Yuanjun even more bored.

Berner had no choice, and the secretaries of the secretariat could only make countless phone calls to Zhang Yuanjun's studio every day to make an appointment.

Finally, after meeting all the film company CEOs he wanted to meet, Zhang Yuanjun's staff gave Berner a schedule.

Berner has been dying for the past few days.

Every time Zhang Yuanjun meets the CEO of a company, there will be news that the two sides have offered what conditions, how good the talks are, and the cooperation is basically negotiated.

Speaking of the news that Berner has collected now, the highest bidder is Huayi, with an investment of $27 million to buy out the box office of "The Hunger Games 2" in mainland China and Hong Kong and Taiwan in the coming year.

The box office will definitely not be able to earn back, but Huayi doesn't want to make money at the box office.

The second highest bidder was Shanghai Film Group, where Ren Zhonglun gritted his teeth and offered $24 million.

The details of the account distribution are unknown to Berner.

Knowing that Zhang Yuanjun was willing to see him, Yu Dong took two vice presidents to Dongshan Villa the next day to drink tea with Zhang Yuanjun.

Zhang Yuanjun first said that he was too busy these days, and it was wedding preparation and cooperation: "I said that I won't take the play this year, so they asked me to schedule next year and the year after, and I put more than a dozen scripts in my study." ”

Yu Dong expressed his understanding: "The market is too miserable this year, and the film company also wants to ask you to save the box office." ”

Zhang Yuanjun said modestly: "Don't be too superstitious about actors, the box office is a matter of starring one person." I'm going to be on the film this year, and I guess I can't do "Titanic". ”

Berner and his entourage agreed with Zhang Yuanjun's point of view: "This film exploded beyond everyone's expectations. ”

And then, of course, we have to talk about investing in The Hunger Games 2.

After fishing Bernard for so long, Zhang Yuanjun also wanted to close the net, he pretended: "Many bosses in the United States want to vote for us, you know, my studio is just a small shrimp in Hollywood, and it is easy for big companies to swallow us, and I have to agree to their requests, and the share left in China is really not much." ”

"It's really not that easy to start a business," Mr. Yu said, "and we understand." You don't need to have any baggage here, each company offers, you choose high-quality partners, and if we are not selected, we will not have any complaints. ”

Berner was ready to be slaughtered. (End of chapter)
