Capital.

In Wang Zhonglei's frequented private tavern, Feng Xiaogang sat opposite him with a sad face: "Mr. Wang, you really have an investment vision and participated in "Inception", and now you are going to make a lot of money." ”

Wang Zhonglei put down his chopsticks, took a big puff of cigarette, shook his head and smiled: "I have less than 10% in total, and I can't make a few dollars." ”

Seeing Feng Pants with such a sad face, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Ge You's mouth, and he comforted: "What do you compare to Xu Ning, how old is he, how old are you?" ”

Jiang Wen happily ate the food on the table, in a good mood, and was not as sour as Feng pants.

He took a sip of wine and blinked: "Cough, what are you fighting with Xiao Young, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, this is common sense." ”

Feng Pants smiled bitterly: "Yes, I'm being careful, alas, think about it, I'm 52 years old, what ...... I am fighting with Xiaoqing"

Jiang Wen choked: "Have you ever won it!" ”

Ge You: "Haha, don't say it." ”

Wang Zhonglei: "Don't think about surpassing Xu Ning, there is no chance, it is true to have a good relationship with him." ”

The big guys nodded yes together.

Li Bing'er, who was sitting on the side, was very sweet in her heart, she was Xu Ning's woman, as long as she didn't make a fool of herself in the future, she would be beautiful for a lifetime.

Wang Zhonglei raised his glass and toasted everyone, and said proudly: "I am now a partner with Director Xu, and I am on the same front with him, hahaha." ”

The other side.

Zhang Yimou also sat with others and drank alcohol, and the topic of conversation was similar to Feng Xiaogang and others.

It can be summed up in one sentence.

They recognize the gap and have given up the unrealistic illusion of catching up and surpassing Xu Ning.

And Xu Ning is also holding a celebration banquet.

This was the company's first large-scale gathering after moving to Wangjing.

On the evening of April 30.

Up and down the company, all the staff were present.

Liu Yifei, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhao Liying, Jing Tian, Tang Yan, Li Yitong, Gu Li Naza, Wang Luodan, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jing...... All gathered around him.

These artists in the company now have a lot of fame in the circle, especially Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Liu Shishi and Yang Mi and others.

Now that the media mentions domestic entertainment companies, Xu Ning's epoch-making must be on the list, and they are all ranked in the top three.

"Brother Ning, congratulations on your "Inception" box office over 1.5 billion?" Master Liu ran to him with a small skirt and a wine glass and said happily.

"You girl, you really think up to me, it's good to be over a billion." Xu Ning patted her round shoulder.

"Hehe, it's 350 million yuan now, and another 800 million yuan will be made during the May 15 holiday, and 1.5 billion will be stable by then."

"Haha, what the teacher said is right, I also think it's 1.5 billion yuan as a base." Huang Bo and Bao Qiang came over to toast.

The others saw the excitement here, and they all came over with wine glasses, "Mr. Xu, congratulations on the big sale of the new film." ”

Xu Ning also raised his glass: "Okay, I also wish each of you to be prosperous and become a big star." ”

“……”

Play until one o'clock in the morning.

Everyone went back to their homes.

Liu Yifei was taken home by Aunt Liu, and several girls such as Zhao Liying, Jing Tian, Nazha and Li Yitong also took the car back to the small villa near the Olympic Stadium together, and the little sisters estimated that they had a chat tonight.

Master Liu drank a few glasses of wine, her face was red, she kept standing by Xu Ning's side, and she didn't want to leave.

Xu Ning knew what she meant.

"Master send me, you all go back!" After Xu Ning finished speaking, Huang Bo and the others walked away with interest.

"Director Xu, slow down, let's go pinch our feet." Huang Bo's LSP grinned.

Subsequently, he took Ning Hao, Bao Qiang, Zhang Songwen, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jing, Yang Shuo and Sun Jian and other men to the nearby luxury club.

Xu Ning stood behind and shouted: "I'll pay for the whole consumption, you guys will pinch your feet more tonight." ”

"Giggles, Brother Ning, do you want to pinch your feet?!" Master Liu put his arm around Xu Ning and tilted his head and asked.

"Will you?"

"I can learn."

"Okay, go back and give it a try."

"Hehe, okay, let's take a taxi back."

“……”

Soon after.

The two took a taxi to Dongshan Villa.

Xu Ning carried Master Liu on his shoulders, all the way to the bedroom on the second floor, and threw her on the bed, and Master Hahaha laughed.

But soon, her red lips were gagged, and then she let out a flurry of confusion.

"Boss, I miss you so much!" The master put his arms around his neck and pressed Xu Ning on her chest, leaning back vigorously.

“……”

I don't know how long it took.

Master Liu got out of bed, brought a basin of hot water, knelt on the carpet to wash Xu Ning's feet, and pinched his feet while washing.

Xu Ning soon fell asleep.

It took a lot of effort for the master to lay him flat on the bed, and then turned off the light and snuggled up to Xu Ning's side.

Early the next morning, the cinema was full of people, and on the first day of the holiday, many people were queuing up to watch "Inception".

As for movies such as "Durala's Promotion" and "The Thief of Years" released at the same time, there are many doors.

May Day.

The filming rate of major theaters exceeded 40%, and the movie attendance rate reached a peak at night, with an average of more than 80%.

At the close of the day, only the movie "Inception" won 96 million box office.

It's almost over 100 million.

101 million yuan the next day.

By the third day, the box office began to fall, but there were also more than 90 million.

In the past five days, the cumulative box office of "Inception" has reached 850 million yuan, becoming the largest domestic film.

The media reported it heavily.

[Xu Ning's films have repeatedly broken domestic film box office records, and he is a director who constantly surpasses himself. 】

["Inception" will become the first film in the history of Chinese cinema to break one billion at the box office. 】

【……】

Meanwhile.

During the film's release in North America, there was no rival, and at present, the box office has reached $300 million.

The funds invested before have now all been returned, and the money earned later is pure profit.

The success of this film has made the whole world know this director from the East, and major film festivals have thrown olive branches.

And Xu Ning no longer pays attention to these, he is preparing his next movie wholeheartedly.

In "Interstellar", the male protagonist lives on a farm, and in his adapted version, the male protagonist is also a large grain grower.

Endless cultivated land like this is more common in the Northeast, and Xu Ning took the opportunity to choose the scenery and prepared to relax.

He asked his cousin to drive an extended version of the luxury RV, and he also took Li Yitong, Jing Tian and Nazha to the Northeast together.

This game is half a month.

When he came back, "Inception" had already been released, and the final box office was set at 1.1 billion.

In North America, it also won a high box office of $370 million, and Warner's general manager called to congratulate him.

The media will still tout him as always, saying that he is the first Chinese director, and no one can beat him.

The enthusiasm of the fans is extremely high, and Xu Ning is discussed on various occasions, and many people are proud to have such an awesome idol.

Soon.

Nanjing! Nanking! is also going to be released, this movie, the schedule will be in the summer.

The main reason is to let the students see the crimes committed by the Japanese back then, in order to make the film suitable for students to watch, Xu Ning has done a lot of processing.

Some scenes that can cause discomfort have been blurred by him to avoid some people from vomiting after watching the movie.

The box office of the movie is also set at a much lower price than other movies, in order to make the box office affordable for most people.

……

There are still more than 20 days before the release of this film, and taking advantage of this schedule, a new movie directed by Ye Weimin, Xu Shanzheng and Wang Baoqiang has been released.

Yes, it is the famous "People in Embarrassment", this movie is an epoch-making investment, and Ye Weimin was specially invited to direct.

Just over a third of the New Year in 2010, two movies "Avatar" and "Inception" took the lead, giving the film market a good start this year.

The movie "People in Embarrassment" has found a suitable release opportunity in the cracks, and it should also be able to achieve a good box office.

"I feel that our movies can have a good box office, and now people seem to love to go to the cinema to watch our movies." At the end of the roadshow, Wang Baoqiang said to Xu Shanzheng with a smile.

"Of course, people's incomes are much higher now than before, and you can watch the movie with more spare money...... I think our movies are selling well. ”

In the previous life, "People in Embarrassment" only invested 7.1 million yuan, but it won more than 37.6 million, which is properly small and big.

This time, because of Xu Ning's shouting and the growth of the film market, the results are only high.

On the day of the release on June 4.

won a box office of 10.5 million, and, with the fermentation of word of mouth, the second and third days showed a growth trend.

Moreover, Xu Ning has already contacted the people of the General Administration and won an extension of the screening period for the film by one month.

With the arrival of the summer vacation, the box office will usher in a second spring, and it is not impossible for the final box office to exceed 100 million.

……

"Interstellar" was officially established, this time it was the exclusive investment of Epoch-making Pictures, and 500 million was initially announced.

For such a movie, at least 1.3 billion will pay off, and the risk is still very large, and if you are not careful, you will be empty.

But the announced investment is announced after all, and it is good to spend 200 million in the end.

Most of the money is gimmicks.

It's just about attracting the audience.

Moreover, the director is Xu Ning, the producer is Xu Xiuyan, and the investor is also Xu Ning, so there is no such thing as pit your own money.

It is no surprise that directors and producers cheat investors for money.

could have made a good movie with one dollar, but he insisted on giving him 10 yuan, otherwise how could he cheat the investor's money?

What is the rationale?

The reason is that the cost is low, and it seems that the movie is not lofty enough.

A very classic example is that a director made a broken straw hat for the character and spent hundreds of thousands.

Obviously, something that can be solved for a few hundred dollars, it is very an imported luxury product, and the investor is reasonable. . .

Xu Ning sent out the matter of the film project through Weibo, and now Weibo has become his first position for external publicity.

It takes less than a minute to send it out.

Some media forwarded the news, the speed of these editors is really fast, it is estimated that they are brushing Xu Ning's Weibo, right?

[Good news!] Xu Ning's first pure science fiction film was officially established, which is a story about the future. 】

[Xu Ning is ready to use his techniques to paint a scene of the future world for people, and he is very much looking forward to it. 】

[Shocked! Director Xu's 500 million movie is about to start, and the casting has become a fan, let's look forward to it together. 】

The comments below Weibo are also very interesting, many people have expressed their expectations for "Interstellar", and they have also expressed their expectations for Yin's concert.

[Haha, I think Director Xu's concert may be held when he announces his retirement from the entertainment industry. 】

[Don't, I still want to listen to a few more concerts, Director Xu will not quit the circle, he will always make movies, sing, and act. ] 】

【……】

The Ningde Film and Television Base in Langfang is already building scenes according to his requirements, located in Mudanjiang Farm in the northeast.

Houses are being built for film shoots, and large cornfields are being planted.

When the corn grows to two meters tall, that's when the "Interstellar" crew goes to shoot.

According to the plan, it will start in Langfang in July, and then move to Mudanjiang Farm at the end of August.

The casting of the movie shook the entire entertainment industry, and this time, it was more lively than the casting of "Inception".

After all, there were many foreign actors last time, and this time, the protagonists in "Interstellar" are all Chinese.

The first is the male protagonist.

In the play, it should be around 35-40 years old, with a lovely daughter and handsome son.

This character,

Xu Ning decided to star in person.

Other than that.

The news of the selection of the heroine was released.

Immediately caused a commotion among female celebrities in the circle, and Liu Shishi, Fan Bing'er, Qin Lan and others all called.

Truth be told, the role is not difficult.

Anyone with a little acting skills can act, so it is difficult for him to make a choice, and he has not determined who it is for the time being.

In addition, the daughter of the male protagonist in the play is also a very important role, especially when she becomes an adult, she has been in a lot of situations.

Three days later.

Seven or eight female stars came to Ningde Building for auditions.

Xu Ning and Xu Xiuyan sat in the interviewer's position, and Tang Wei sat on the side as a staff member.

The first one to come in was Liu Yifei.

Following the process, she tried a play, huh...... How to say it, the acting skills still need to be improved.

Seeing that Brother Ning didn't react, Liu Yifei walked out with a blank eye, and Master Liu, who was waiting outside, walked in quickly.

"Boss, Sister Xiuyan!"

"Well, you come and try the scene of the male protagonist's daughter." Xu Ning gave her a piece of paper with a few lines on it.

"Uh-huh." The teacher happily took the script and read an issue, and started to perform in less than two minutes.

Overall, the acting was okay.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Bing'er, Li Bing'er, Jiang Qinqin, Qin Lan, Li Xiaoran, Gao Yuanyuan, Zeng Li and others auditioned one by one.

The women in it, although their acting skills are very good, there are not many people who satisfy him.

If you have to choose one, Gao Yuanyuan is closest to the heroine, and if she has short hair, she looks like a capable female astronaut.

And other women are not quite like it.

At present, it can only be preliminarily determined that the heroine is played by Gao Yuanyuan, and the rest is the second female lead, the daughter of the male protagonist. (End of chapter)
