China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 234 Breaking [-] million, sequel
On July 7, after the producers of "Martial Arts" continued to hype up the incident of "stealing" box office sales,

Some enthusiastic netizens posted some purchase details of the "Martial Arts" crew online. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a counterattack launched by a competitor. Otherwise, where would a netizen get such internal information?

However, one of the above expenditures still aroused heated discussion among the public:
Xu Baijiu (played by Takeshi Kaneshiro) straw hat: US$6000, plus premiums and additional expenses.

This price immediately caused netizens to explode. Now everyone does not have an income of 6000 yuan a month. This straw hat will require an ordinary family to work for a year:

"What kind of hat is this riding horse? Is it trimmed with gold or diamonds?"

"No wonder the cost was quoted at 1.45 million. I was still thinking that those scenes would not cost so much money. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it. My vision was too narrow."

"Can the project still do this? It's so blatantly greedy, and the investors don't even care?"

He Hua happily shared this news with his girlfriend:

False business wars are strategizing, secretly maintaining warehouses, and are high-end and classy.

A real business war will seize your handle and beat you to death, and try to see if you admit you are wrong.

As the buzz on the Internet grew louder and louder, and the movie's box office rebounded briefly and then plummeted, Star America and the producers finally couldn't sit still:

First, Chen Kexin posted on Weibo: "Money is earned, not saved."

But netizens didn't buy it, and commented directly below: "Then I haven't seen how much money the movie made? The cost of "Defiant" was lower than yours, and the box office was higher than yours. Didn't it earn as much as you did?"

This guy is directly killing people and killing people.

Although there are certain problems with this project, everyone still hopes to make more money. Now that the film's performance is so poor, you can just make the money. Now that it has been pushed to the forefront, even the investor Xingmei can't help but complain a little.

After Chen Kexin's Weibo was deleted, she disappeared from public view, and invitations from media reporters were rejected. Anyway, she kept silent about the matter.

It’s just that his big-mouthed Mrs. Chen Wu Junru started looking for a sense of presence again:
"Is everyone so wide-ranging? What's all the fuss about?"

This accustomed and nonchalant tone made people both angry and unhappy, and at the same time, it also led to more speculations.

Are all these Hong Kong directors doing this?It’s still a problem for the entire circle.

Soon some anonymous insiders revealed the secret:

This is a problem left over from history. In the early days, mainland filmmakers were still in the stage of learning from others. Everyone looked at these expenses without saying a word and regarded them as tuition fees. Later, they became accustomed to it and wanted to be greedy and get benefits.
In the general manager's office on the top floor of China Film Group Corporation, Han Sanping handed the newspaper to He Hua:

"Xingmei can't sit still anymore. She's planning to abandon her car to save Shuai."

He Hua took it over and looked at it. He didn't know much about whether it was true or false. However, such news at this time was indeed suspected of shifting the focus. He put down the newspaper and asked with some confusion: "Sir?"

As soon as the conversation started, he was interrupted by Han Sanping: "No one knows what happens at the top. We just have to do our job well and don't worry so much."

When He Hua nodded, he smiled again and patted He Hua on the shoulder: "They are used to taking shortcuts. We are different from them. We still have to abide by the law."

Then Han Sanping didn't say much and casually changed the topic to something else:
"I heard from Lao Lin that Yang Ming of your company is planning to make the accounts of "Defiant" public?"

He Hua had never heard of it: "Really? I don't know."

He doesn't have that much energy and has to take care of everything. "Then I guess I'm not going to do it. It's okay not to do it, otherwise I'll offend people to death. But this Yang Ming is really a talent. How about letting him come to our place to try?"

Han Sanping really felt that if he had such a person to help him, the box office of "The Founding of the Party" would probably reach a higher level.

"The Founding of the Party" has been released for a month, with a cumulative box office of 3.7 million. Although there are still two months to go, 4 million should be the limit of this movie depending on the situation.

This year's goal of 10 billion is still far away.

He Hua ignored him and continued to pick up the box office data and read:

After "Martial Arts" went through such a turmoil, not only was its reputation extremely poor, but its box office plummeted. It used to earn millions every day, but now it's really unwatchable. You have to remember that this is only the second week of the movie's release. ah.

Think about "Transformers 21", which will be released on the 3st. It will be difficult for this movie to break the [-] million mark.

"Snowflake and the Secret Fan" is really a bit unaccustomed to the local environment. It is now in a state of half-release. Only a few theaters are left to show its performance to the leaders, with a total box office of more than 2000 million.

"God of Wealth Inn" cost 2500 million yuan, and now the mainland box office revenue is 6270 million yuan. It should not be a loss if the copyright is sold.

There is also his own "Defiant", which was released for 16 days and accumulated a box office of 2.91 million. The box office curve is quite good, but I don't know if it can land smoothly under the impact of "Transformation 3".

"How is the concept of the Blind Hero series you mentioned before? Can it be put into operation?" Han Sanping brought up the old story again.

In fact, when the movie box office exceeded [-] million, he wanted to call He Hua over to talk. However, He Hua was leading a road show at that time, so he had to suppress his thoughts.

Now it's about to break [-] million, and he really can't wait.

Speaking of this, He Hua also became interested, and the two got together to discuss:

"The vast majority of viewers gave good reviews after watching the movie. The rating on Douban is also 7.8. This rating is already very good for a martial arts film. I think a sequel can be released."

"In the second part, I want to tell the story between the blind man and Xiaoyu. We did a survey and found that these two characters are among the top three among the audience's favorite characters, so there is reason to believe that the second part will have a greater chance of success. promote."

After hearing this, Han Sanping nodded frequently: "Not bad, not bad. I made inferences based on the data. You have done a good job."

Wocao, can you stop talking to me like a leader?He Hua was a little unhappy.

"When will the project start?" Han Sanping asked.

He Hua spread his hands: "There is no script yet, it's just an idea. We still need to study it carefully to ensure that it can be connected with the current story."

In fact, he wanted to slow down. After the success of "Defiant", a number of martial arts movies will follow suit, including their own, which immediately passed the review of "Xiu Chun Dao".

This is very bad for the market.

Therefore, he plans to release a sequel in 2-3 years, so that the market can take a breather and the audience will not be bored or fatigued.

He Hua's intention will wait until a large number of project applications arrive at the General Administration in the future. I believe Han Sanping will respond soon.
