James Cameron's "Avatar", which was filmed after 14 years of preparation and 4 years of filming, ended grandly in China, with a total box office of 1.714 billion yuan.

Although the plot is still a Hollywood-style narrative, it is relatively old-fashioned...... Xu Ning feels that most of the starting point Chinese network is better than this.

However, with the gimmick of the first 3D movie, it still earned a terrifying box office, earning $2.847 billion worldwide.

This achievement threw an earth-shattering thunder to all Chinese directors, "It turns out that movies can still be made like this?" ”

Some media commented: Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou and Xu Ning, last year's box office combined was not as much as him.

However, these years.

Xu Ning has made nine films.

Among them, there are eight films that have been released, including "Assembly Number", "Embroidered Spring Knife", "Ip Man", "No Man's Land", "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing", "Let the Bullets Fly", and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

A total of 2.365 billion yuan was obtained.

If you count the upcoming "Inception" and "Nanjing! Nanking! ", the domestic box office has long surpassed "A Developed".

Of course

It's a kind of self-comfort.

Xu Ning knows.

A Cameron movie directly topped the world's highest box office, and no one has been able to break this record for more than ten years.

It is difficult for Xu Ning to break this record, and he must come up with a creative film.

But.

This kind of creative stuff is not always there, Cameron, as the biggest beneficiary of 3D movies, has been firmly in the first place, and it is impossible for later generations to surpass it.

Unless there is some other new technology.

"I don't want to do that."

"My biggest advantage is that there are enough good stories, and the online article is my treasure chest, "Star Change", "Demon Law", "Devouring the Starry Sky", "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", "Immortal Rebellion", "Perfect World", "The Legend of Wukong", ......

"As long as you use superb shooting technology and put them on the screen one by one, it is definitely ten times better than a simple Hollywood narrative like Avatar.

"I still have a chance to turn the tables around."

Xu Ning looked at the text message sent by Zhang Xuan, got the information again, and had no interest in continuing to gallop on Gadot for the third time, took out his mobile phone and called the general manager of the starting point.

At this time, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

When Mr. Wu saw Xu Ning's call now, he was full of energy, and he couldn't wait for Xu Ning to call every day.

Wu Wenhui: "Mr. Xu, last year's bumper harvest on our platform, "Breaking the Sky" is unbeatable......

Xu Ning couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi...... It came out last year?

Very good.

"Mr. Wu, manage the content well, let the good stories continue to grow, engage in more subsidies, let the writers earn a little more, I need a lot of big IP ......"

When Wu Wenhui heard this, his heart was even more energetic, although the current starting point was profitable, but Xu Ning couldn't look down on that bit of money at all, but fed back a lot of money.

"But remember, don't take too many steps, just do it in moderation...... In two or three years at most, I'm going to focus on adapting a good story, and when the time comes, it's up to you. ”

In just a few words, Mr. Wu was so happy that he patted his chest and promised to complete the task.

……

Before the phone could be hung up, Gadot retracted his head into the quilt again, and squirmed inside.

Xu Ning pressed the back of her head with one hand, hung up the phone with the other, and began to close her eyes and think about things.

That's it.

The two were tired and crooked until the afternoon, and then went out to deal with a little lunch casually, and after that, he took Xiao Lizi and other actors from the United States to take a walk around the Great Wall.

Following.

officially opened the publicity and release of "Inception", and the first stop was chosen in Wangjing.

The location is on the huge square downstairs of the "Ningde Building", and there are more than 3,600 spectators with admission tickets alone, which makes the square impassable.

this day.

Heaven is beautiful.

The sun is very warm on the body, so the mood of the audience is also enthusiastic.

When Xu Ning took Liu Yifei, Aunt Liu, Xiao Lizi, Gaduo, Chen Kun, Zhang Songwen and more than a dozen other people on the stage at ten o'clock, the whole Wangjing could hear the shouts of the mountains and a tsunami.

Next to the square, drivers driving on Wangjing Street and Fu'an West Road were startled by this shout, and many people rolled down their windows to observe the situation.

As soon as the car window was lowered, I heard Requn excitedly shouting two words: "Xu Ning, Xu Ning, Xu Ning......"

The old Beijing driver: "Good guy, I thought that the uncle and aunt went to the supermarket to grab eggs, but it turned out to be Xu Ning's fans." ”

on stage.

Under the leadership of Xu Ning, everyone bowed and thanked the fans together.

The entire launch lasted almost an hour and a half, and half an hour was spent singing.

Xu Ning, Xiao Lizi and Chen Kun took turns to fight, but fans still didn't find it enjoyable.

He had to sing it again.

No way, pet fans!

He can only take out a song by Jaylen - "Lovely Woman" to spoil female fans.

The female fans at the scene listened to this song and were so excited that they were as happy as if Xu Ning was confessing to them.

"Xu Ning, my mother loves you."

"I'm going to give you a son."

"I'm going to give you ten!!"

“……”

What's going on?

Why are my fans talking about having children?

Not like that in previous years.

Are they all old enough to have children?

At last.

In the reluctant farewell of fans, Xu Ning rushed to the airport with a group of people and ran to the magic capital.

Over there in the magic capital, Wang Sicong had already arranged the venue, and he was waiting for Xu Ning to come over, and when he received a call from Xu Ning to get on the plane, Xiao Wang was very happy.

Because today's domestic game and live broadcast markets are not prosperous enough, Xiao Wang has not yet set foot in these two industries.

The heart is somewhat empty.

Xu Ning brought the arrival of Hollywood superstars, bringing a different color to his life.

So I'm more than happy to help with things.

A few days ago, Xu Ning just posted the news of the roadshow on Weibo, and Xiao Wang called and said that he had arranged the itinerary of the magic capital.

Xiao Wang's call made Xu Ning think of a game that is about to be logged into the national server - League of Legends.

Anyone who has played the game knows how big the market for this game is.

Therefore, Xu Ning immediately sent a professional team to its development company "Riot Games" and won the agency rights in Asia at a price of 9 million US dollars.

In addition, in the name of "Ningde Capital", it injected capital into this small company and bought a considerable number of shares.

……

After that, it lasted for five days.

The crew was on a roadshow in several first- and second-tier cities in China, and after all of them were over, they returned to Beijing and got on a plane to the United States.

After landing in New York, the prime minister of Warner Bros. had been waiting for a long time, and after a warm hug with Xu Ning, the capital director, everyone took a car to the company together.

The manager of Warner Bros. was very polite to him, and many employees who didn't know why were very confused.

"Why, why does David respect that Chinese director so much? Isn't he just a director? ”

"You're out, do you know who that Chinese director is? His name is Xu Ning, and according to the Forbes rich list, in 2009, he was the richest person in China! ”

“What？ What is his company called? ”

"He is an investment genius, and in just 9 years, he has gone from a country boy to a wealthy man with 50 billion yuan...... Do you know how much it is in US dollars? $7.4 billion!! ”

"Wang De*#¥%, he's so rich? Wo Cao, I'm going to pat his ass, don't stop me. ”

“……”

A few ladies around who heard the gossip heard that Xu Ning had 7.4 billion US dollars, and they were all energized.

They lifted their bras to show off their proud curves, and walked in places where Xu Ning could see.

After wandering around the company and negotiating the next roadshow plan, Xu Ning returned to the hotel to prepare for a rest, and there was a welcome dinner in the evening, and it is said that Warner invited many big-name stars.

Less than half a day after he, Xiao Lizi and others got off the plane, Hollywood knew the news.

A piece of "Xu Ning is worth 7.4 billion US dollars" went viral in the circle of Hollywood actresses.

Many first-line big-name actresses are very interested, after all, Xu Ning is so young and handsome, a hundred times more attractive than those old men.

D'Addario: "Oh Maiga, it's the first time I've paid attention to this oriental director, he really fits my aesthetic so much, I'm going to attend tonight's dinner...... Meet him! ”

Scarlett: "I want to drink Director Xu's bath water!" ”

Eva Green: "He's so rich!" He's so handsome...... I like him, haha, don't know he likes me? ”

“……”

Of course.

This is just a word coming out of the internal circle, and Xu Ning, who was shopping with his assistants Zhang Xuan, Liu Yinyin, and Chen Kun, Liu Yifei and others, didn't know it at all.

I have to say that New York is bustling and housing prices are expensive.

When he was shopping in the afternoon, he bought two houses in Manhattan's Central Park and Long Island, and spent more than 200 million.

The one in Manhattan Park is a small single-family townhouse, and you can see the park from the window, and Pan Shiyi's house is not far away.

The one on Long Island is more expensive, a single-family villa covering thousands of square meters, and it is a place where the super-rich live.

These two sums of money were spent, and Liu Yifei, Aunt Liu, Chen Kun and others were stunned, "Mr. Xu, can you still spend money like this?" ”

Xu Ning: "Why not?" Isn't it just to spend money when you earn money? Anyway, this house retains its value, which can be regarded as an investment. ”

Chen Kun: "It's very difficult for me to buy a large flat floor in BJ, and Mr. Xu is ...... buying two villas in New York like buying vegetables."

Liu Yifei: "Hehe, Brother Ning, can you give me a key?" I'll bring my mom over for vacation in the future. ”

Xu Ning: "Aunt Liu, let's live!" Feel free to stay. ”

Liu Yifei: "Hehe, thank you, Brother Ning." ”

“……”

I don't know how to get out of the house, anyway, many female stars in Hollywood know about it.

In fact, this is the employee sent by the general manager of Warner, who is responsible for accompanying Xu Ning to go shopping.

The old boy followed behind Xu Ning, taking out his mobile phone from time to time, just to pass on gossip to the Hollywood female stars he knew.

Sure enough, no one can resist the temptation of gossip, and this feeling is really very cool.

When the old boy bragged to a Hollywood female star about how good Xu Ning was, it was as if he was buying a house.

Soon it was evening.

The Welcome Dinner is about to begin.

The venue of the banquet was set in a very large villa in New York, and when he arrived at the scene, he found that many Hollywood actresses had come.

Gal Gadot, who was walking beside Xu Ning, frowned, feeling that things were not simple tonight......

What these actresses want to do, she knows it clearly.

Liu Yifei was wearing a beautiful white evening dress, and when she saw more than a dozen actresses with outstanding temperament standing in front of the villa, she also felt the pressure on her face.

Thanks for the support.
