How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 730 Foreigners in the All-China Class
For seven days the following week, taking advantage of the seven-day National Day holiday, "Operation Mekong" grossed a box office of 5.09 million yuan in a single week.

Counting the cumulative box office of 1.65 million yuan in the first three days, the cumulative box office of "Operation Mekong" at this time has reached 6.74 million yuan.

no doubt.

Another movie with a box office of over 1 billion yuan is about to be released.

Military-themed movies have also become popular due to the popularity of last year's "Wolf Warrior" and this "Operation Mekong".

……

Longbow Film and Television City.

In Zhang Nan's office.

"[Wolf Warrior 2]?" Zhang Nan looked at the script handed over by Wu Jin in his hand and asked knowingly.

Wu Jin nodded.

"..."

"Now that you have made up your mind, go ahead and do it. The company fully supports your dream of directing." Zhang Nan admires Wu Jin's attitude of not shying away from the popularity.

Zhang Nan thought what Wu Jin said: "One code is the same, and what I want is not an important role, just the foreigner's role in the script."

Because this is the fact, he himself has even enjoyed the benefits brought by Zhang Nan's rules, so that the "Hurricane Rescue" series in which he is currently established in global film and television is more or less based on Zhang Nan's rules. brought.

But Wu Jin still wants to struggle.

"Originally I wanted to make preparations again, but when I saw that [Operation Mekong] was so good at the box office, I knew that this subject was not as popular as before, so I planned to take advantage of the popularity and shoot it as soon as possible." Wu nodded. Jin explained calmly.

Moreover, [Wolf Warrior 2]’s mainland box office of 56 billion yuan is equivalent to approximately billion U.S. dollars, which is also a huge box office appeal.

Wu Jin's [Wolf Warrior 1] is already a good result.

Wu Jin now owns the "Taken" series with a global box office of 300 to 400 million US dollars.

After all, there are many actors in Hollywood, such as Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, etc., who all tried to become directors after becoming famous, but in the end they ended up in the same place.

In fact, Zhang Nan has already made an investment in [Wolf Warrior 2], but Wu Jin has been preparing the script, so the project has never started.

Of course.

But Zhang Nan was afraid that he would agree directly and neatly, and Wu Jin would make other demands, so he said: "No problem, if you say you give full support, then you must give full support, but brothers have to understand Let’s settle the score. You know my rules for making guest appearances in movie projects. I have to get a few supporting roles.”

Wu Jin, on the other hand, said in a desperate move: "Director Zhang, since the company fully supports my dream of being a director, then... can you play a cameo role in the movie?"

Zhang Nan looked at Wu Jin speechlessly, but the words had already been spoken and he could not take them back.

Wu Jin was stunned when he heard this.

Another reason is that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 1" is 5.44 million yuan, although compared with the production cost of tens of millions, it is profitable.

"Director Zhang, this is just a small project for me..."

But Wu Jin at this time is also different from the unknown state when he was filming "Wolf Warrior 1" in the original time and space.

Fortunately, it was directed and acted by himself, so it didn't have much impact on Wu Jin.

And if the box office of 5.44 million yuan is converted into US dollars, it is not even million US dollars, which is really a bit disappointing.

Wu Jin heard this and said hurriedly: "Director Zhang, after my film is released, I plan to promote the patriotic flag in publicity, so I want an all-Chinese cast."

"It's a good idea, but if something is too extreme, it's easy to find evidence, so it's best not to do that. Besides, if there are foreigners, why doesn't it count as an all-Chinese class?" Zhang Nan retorted.

Wu Jin: "..." Do you want to hear what you said? How can it be considered an all-Chinese class if there are foreigners?
Seeing Wu Jin's puzzled expression, Zhang Nan could only explain: "Don't be too limited in your thinking. Although you are a foreigner, you have already reserved the identity of the Chinese mother in advance. In about two or three months, this identity will be available." Take a seat."

"Huh?" Wu Jin was still shocked and puzzled.

Zhang Nan had no choice but to explain in depth: "Do you still remember the scandal I had at the Oscar ceremony?"

Wu Jin nodded, "But Da Tiantian, Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi are all our own people!" "Am I a rabbit eating grass from the side of the nest?"

Zhang Nan glared at Wu Jin before continuing: "It's Sophie Marceau. I got out of the car and said hello to her that day. A few days ago, she suddenly told me that she was pregnant and she will be unloaded in December."

Wu Jin: "..."

You got pregnant just by saying hello?

Your greetings are all directed at Xia San Road!

But once he heard that this role was given to Sophie Marceau, even if Sophie Marceau was not available, Wu Jin would not resist.

Without it.

Where is their coffee table?

Moreover, with the addition of the other party, [Wolf Warrior 2] will also enter the French film market.

"That... no problem." Wu Jin agreed.

But Zhang Nan started to continue to play, "Have you found good candidates for the remaining roles?"

"Not yet." Wu Jin shook his head.

"Then pick from the newcomers in the company, Hu Ge, Yu Entai, Da Tiantian, Zhou Jiegun... You are the senior in the company, so you should help the younger ones." Zhang Nan encouraged.

After all, Zhang Nan always feels a little bit shortchanged by the fact that his own movie project with a box office of 56 billion yuan has made other artists popular.

"..."

Wu Jin, who was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Director Zhang, I know."

no way.

Among the people mentioned by Zhang Nan, Hu Ge and Yu Entai were not bad, and their acting skills were relatively passable.

But for Da Tiantian and Zhou Jiegun, it would be a complete disaster.

……

mid-October.

After being screened for more than 24 days, [Operation Mekong] finally broke through the 10 billion yuan box office, becoming the th movie in mainland film history to break billion yuan in box office.

Of course, some people are happy and others are worried.

The box office trends of "Jueji" and "Ace of Ace", which were released at the same time as "Operation Mekong", were very pessimistic.

Especially "Grand Records", in the end it only took in a box office of 3.82 million yuan.

You must know that the production cost of this film is as high as 1.5 million yuan, and the recovery cost line is around 4 million yuan.

It can be said that this wave of [Jueji] will lose at least more than 20 million yuan.

This made the already somewhat crazy writer Xiao Guo a little unbearable.

Because this time [Grand Trace], like the previous installments of the [Tiny Times] series, has received huge criticism both verbally and writtenly.

The "Tiny Times" series had made money before, and writer Xiao Guo could still accept the verbal criticism. After all, he made money, so it didn't matter if he was scolded.

But now not only did he not make any money, but he also lost tens of millions and was scolded, which writer Xiao Guo couldn't accept.

So he posted on Weibo: Only if I die can you stop scolding [Jueji]?
Tell the truth.

If writer Xiao Guo hadn't posted this on Weibo, everyone would have just gone through the motions of scolding a bad movie.

But when I saw writer Xiao Guo actually posting this on Weibo, I obviously lost my mind!
Netizens who were disgusted by the plot of the "Tiny Times" series couldn't bear to beat the drowned dog, so they just rushed forward.
