I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 109 Response (hydrology)
While I was sleeping in Wanqingshan, the first-day box office of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" appeared on Sina News overnight, and then - many film and television company bosses in the industry who had fallen asleep were awakened by phone calls.

Wan Qingshan has "The True Meaning of Love" with a box office of [-] yuan, and "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" was extremely popular before its release.

Therefore, the bosses of the film and television companies in the circle are paying close attention to the first-day box office of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave", and ask the people below to notify them as soon as there is any news.

After hearing the numbers coming from the mobile phone, Wu Kebo from Chengtian Entertainment exclaimed, "Are you sure you're right?"

"What's wrong?"

Wu Kebo's voice woke up Chen Hao, the first sister of Chengtian, who was beside the bed.

Wu Kebo ignored Chen Hao and listened to the person on the other end of the phone saying, "Mr. Wu, Sina News has reported that it broke the first-day box office record.

There shouldn't be much water in this number. After all, breaking a record will attract a lot of attention, and false reports can easily be detected. "

Wu Kebo was silent for a moment and said, "I understand."

Immediately, Wu Kebo hung up the phone, ignoring Chen Hao who sat up and asked curiously again, "What's wrong?"

Wu Kebo glanced at Chen Hao, lifted the quilt and stood up and said, "Nothing, you go to bed first, I have something to go to the study."

Looking at Wu Kebo's leaving figure, Chen Hao sighed and continued to sleep.

When he came to the study, Wu Kebo dialed Wang Jinghua's phone number.

Wang Jinghua seemed to be still asleep, so she quickly answered the phone, "Mr. Wu, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Wang, do you know the first-day box office of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness"?" Wu Kebo asked.

"I just learned that 1890 million broke the first-day box office record. If the box office can be stable, it may break the box office record for Chinese-language movies set by "Hero"." Wang Jinghua replied calmly.

Wu Kebo sighed with emotion, "Yes, at first we all thought Wan Qingshan was the next Jiang Wen. Later, his first commercial film "The True Meaning of Love" became a hit at the box office, and we thought he was the next Zhang Yimou. .

Haha, how can this be the next Zhang Yimou? The box office of his second commercial movie went straight to the box office record of "Hero". "

Wang Jinghua smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, why are you sighing now?"

"I have to sigh, Chengtian is not short of money now, nor is it short of actors, but it is short of directors.

If we cooperate with him, Chengtian will definitely surpass Huayi and become the boss of private film and television companies within two years. "

Wang Jinghua frowned when she heard Wu Kebo say that there was no shortage of actors in Chengtian.

Except for the Shiba Culture Agency, which Wang Jinghua and Cheng Tian cooperated with, Cheng Tian only had a few small actors. Wu Kebo meant that he regarded the artists of Shiba Agency as Chengtian artists.

Wang Jinghua hesitated in her heart, then laughed dryly and said, "Mr. Wu, there's no point in sighing. It's better to think about it later."

Wu Kebo immediately cheered up and asked, "Mr. Wang, how is your communication with Wan Qingshan going?

You make it clear to him if he is willing to cooperate with Cheng Tian.

No matter how high the liquidated damages in the contract he signed with the Rays are, I can be responsible for it.

Moreover, I can also offer a signing fee of tens of millions. "

Previously, after Wang Jinghua led more than a dozen of her artists and Cheng Tian to establish Shiba Agency, Wu Kebo discovered that it would not work if they were all artists.

There are not so many resources for them, and they will change jobs over time. If they want to stabilize their artists, they have to find a big director!

Then Wu Kebo discovered that all major directors have companies.

So, he thought about throwing money at it. Chengtian, who was backed by an island country company, was short of money for everything!
But Chen Kaige didn't like him, and Zhang Yimou didn't even see him, so he refused.

On Hong Kong Island, Zhou Xingchi is his own boss, and his partners are all foreign film and television companies, which cannot be smashed.

Then only Wanqingshan was left, and Wu Kebo actually didn't like to see Wanqingshan.

Because Wan Qingshan is too young and out-of-the-box, "The True Meaning of Love" was a box office hit. He could continue to make steady money by making comedies, but he had to take high risks and make declining martial arts movies.

So he didn't throw money at it, and just asked Wang Jinghua to communicate with Wan Qingshan. If he could succeed, he would succeed, and if he couldn't, forget it.

Now that the first-day box office of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" is out, Wu Kebo regrets it now. If he had known who Chen Kaige would be the first to be hit, Wan Qingshan should be the first one to be hit.

Wang Jinghua suddenly frowned, "Mr. Wu, you are a little too impatient. You only asked me to communicate with Wan Qingshan before the premiere of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness". It has only been a few days. How could it be possible? progress."

Listening to Wang Jinghua's complaining tone, Wu Kebo felt a little dissatisfied.

In Wu Kebo's view, even if he and Wang Jinghua set up a Shiba brokerage company, he would always call Wang Jinghua "Mr. Wang", which was just polite.

But in fact, Wang Jinghua is just a senior part-time worker. He is the boss. How can any part-time worker complain about the boss?

However, thinking that Wang Jinghua had just arrived not long ago, Wu Kebo suppressed his dissatisfaction slightly and smiled dryly,

"I am too impatient. However, Mr. Wang, I would like you to communicate with Wan Qingshan as soon as possible. The box office of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" was a hit on the first day, and many companies will definitely contact him."

"Mr. Wu, don't worry, I will hurry up."

"Okay, that's it, I won't disturb Mr. Wang and you can rest."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Kebo remained silent for a moment and continued to make calls.

,,,,,,, Huayi’s president’s office is brightly lit and filled with smoke.

After Wang Zhongjun learned that the first-day box office of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" was 1890 million, he kept smoking with a sad look on his face.

The movie that Huayi has not invested in will be released on the same schedule as "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness". There are also big directors in the company, so there is no need to win over Wan Qingshan.

Logically speaking, Huayi should have an easier time than other film and television companies, as it does not need to find someone to keep an eye on the first-day box office of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness".

But as the president of Huayi, Wang Zhongjun waited until midnight in the office to wait for the first-day box office of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave".

Moreover, after knowing that the box office on the first day broke the record, he kept smoking non-stop,
Originally, Huayi didn't need to be so concerned about the box office of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness".

But since the news came out the day before yesterday that "Wan Qingshan is more suitable to be ranked among the top three directors than Feng Xiaogang", everything has changed.

Wang Jinghua led a group of celebrities to leave, causing Huayi's power to be greatly reduced. Now Feng Xiaogang is Huayi's anchor.

If Feng Xiaogang falls out of the top three directors, Huayi's position as the leading private film and television company in the mainland will not be so solid.

This is a huge blow to Wang Zhongjun, who is already preparing for Huayi's listing next year.

If the leading position of private film and television is not solid, then capital will crazily lower Huayi's valuation.

"Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" had a box office of 1890 million on its first day. Don't worry, there will definitely be news tomorrow with this further report. Feng Xiaogang does not deserve the title of one of the top three directors.

After Wang Zhongjun smoked several cigarettes in a row, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed Wang Zhonglei's mobile phone.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. The other end was filled with the sound of singing and howling, mixed with a woman's laughter.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Wang Zhonglei's voice rang out among the noisy voices.

"Change to a quiet place, I have something serious to talk to you about."

"Wait a minute, I'm going out now."

Soon, the noise on the phone disappeared, and Wang Zhonglei asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"How was your discussion with those people? Are they willing to take down the news?" Wang Zhongjun asked immediately.

As soon as the news came out that Feng Xiaogang was not worthy of the three major directors, Wang Zhongjun wanted to spend money to gain connections and withdraw the news.

But he didn't expect that the news spread so fast, and many news websites and TV stations followed it with reports, catching him off guard for a while, which led to such a big disturbance.

"Brother, TV stations and newspapers, I told them and they agreed not to report it.

It’s just that news websites are troublesome. I can find connections with several major news websites to stop them from reporting.

But some of the small news websites that have popped up in the past two years have bosses with some background.

No one I could find had anything to do with them, and they didn't give me face. "

The more Wang Zhonglei talked, the angrier he became, and he cursed angrily, "Damn it, I told them so loudly and angrily that they didn't want to report it, but they just said who are you, and then put down the phone."

"If you can't find connections, then give them money. They opened this small news website, which is to rely on family connections and wait for others to buy it and make money."

When Wang Zhongjun thinks about these people, it's like thinking about shit, and he's very disgusted.

These people have no other abilities and rely on their family's disgusting abilities.

"Brother, these people are not country bumpkins, they have a big appetite!" Wang Zhonglei exclaimed in shock.

"If you have a big appetite, you have to give it. If they continue to report it, we will suffer even greater losses."

"I understand, brother, contact them now."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhongjun thought for a while and felt that this was not safe, so he called Xu Li, the vice president of Huayi Film and Television.

After the call was connected, Wang Zhongjun asked with a smile on his face, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry for disturbing your rest so late at night."

Xu Li's gentle, slightly lazy voice soon sounded on the phone.

"Mr. Wang, why are you calling me so late?"

"That's right. I would like to ask how your negotiations with the island country GAGA Co., Ltd. are going regarding the island country distribution rights of "The Night Banquet"."

"This matter, the price mentioned by GAGA is still close to the bottom line of 500 million US dollars. I am slowly working with them here."

"Don't worry about it. It's sold for less than 500 million US dollars. Let's negotiate quickly."

Xu Li was stunned for a moment and asked in shock, "Mr. Wang, has something happened in the country?"

Wang Zhongjun rubbed his brows and said, "Something happened, but it's not serious. You should negotiate with GAGA Co., Ltd. as soon as possible. You will know when you get back."

"Mr. Wang, let me speed up the progress and try to reach an agreement within two days."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhongjun sighed and murmured, "This can only be postponed for a while. We still have to watch the box office. If "The Night Banquet" is a big hit, everything will be solved."
